Sensation in San Bernardin0.
[From the Times OF the l7th.l

lFrom the Times of the l7th.
At length San Bernardino rejoices
in a first class case of scandal, the de-
velopments of which are rich in the
extreme. The facts in the case are,
briefly, thus: Among the emigrants
to this place during the past Summer,
was buxom German lass, but recent
ly arrived from the Fatherland, young,
fair and unsophisticated, who In the
course of events came into thej en-
ployment of II certain well known
bachelor, of the same nat ionality, who
engaged her Ia take charge of his
chambers during the day, she board
ing with her friends. Things went on
for this way for months and no one
suspected anything wrong until few
days since, when the girl disclosed the
startling fact to her friends that there
had been All intimacy between the
bachelor and herself, which was of
very naughty nature. With the dis
closure followed the sudden disappear
ance of the frisky old bachelor from
his accustomed haunts. 1t is hinted that
he gave the girl 5000 to hush up the
matter. but her friends were not so
easily satisfied, and threaten legal pro.
ceedings unless he mares the girl.
This it seems he is not prepared to do,
hence his departure for pastures new
and green.

error into which we may fall.
With these Introductory remarks
we now proceed to answer from such
information as We possess, the ques-
tions of our correspondent, Reform"
lst. The proceedings of the Board
have not been so fully recorded as
would seem desirable. Indeed, we
doubt If consecutive record of those
proceedings is in existence.
I'd. We have made some inquiry on
this point, and find that no regular
Account of the expenditures for the
purchase of lots and the erection of
school buildings has been turned over
to the Secretary of the new Board.
But that no such record of expendi-
lures has been kept is more than our
Investigations will warrant us in say
ing. On the contrary we have reason
to believe that in obedience to reso-
luton passed by the new Board full
and satisfactory records will be forth
coming at the next meeting of that
body.
3d. Our information is that the SAL
airy of the Superintendent was in
creased one thousand dollars per an
uum by vote of three members of the
Board, and that one at least of the two
absent members was not aware of the
meeting orits proceedings for month
after the transaction.
4th. We have the authority of
member that at the meeting of the
Board held last Saturday for the elec-
tion of teachers, the Superintendent
addressed the Boarl in favor of hold
ing such meetings with closed doors.
We are not aware that the elections
have been /" star chamber affairs
heretofore. Meetings for the election
of teachers should, of all others, be
openly conducted. Such a course is
due to applicants, parents, pupils, and
to the members of the Board Them
selves.
5th. The evidence SO far collected
indicates that it is custom with
teachers to direct pupils to 60 to a GER
tain firm for their school books. We
are not informed as to the motive
which prompts this special favoritism
of the one house on the part of the
teachers. The same books may be
found at all the book stores i'm town.
9Th. If our information is correct
claim similar to that of Mrs. PARKER
was allowed by the old Board, but as
Mrs. PARKER will commence suit for
the collection of her bill, and as the
trial will bring out all the facts in con.
nection with the audited claim, we
withhold for the present our informa-
tion on this question.
7th. We believe the new Board is
opposed to secret meetings and strong
ly in favor of placing on record COM
plete statement of each and all of its
official acts. Due notice of all meet.
ings will be given.

HERE are two Republican opinions
on the third term question. The
Pittsburgh Gazette says: president
GRANT has administered the Govern
ment so easily, wisely and smoothly,
that those who prefer stability, quiet
ude and peace to the novelty of chang
es in the Presidential Office, regard
him as the best candidate that can be
offered" The Lancaster Engineer al
so Pennsylvania paper has its own
notion on the subject and speaks it
thus: "Any Republican who is bad
and silly enough to advocate third
term should be kicked out of all fell
lowship with the party"

Questions to be Answered.

EDITOR HERALD.--Asa parent and n tax
payer desire to ask The following queSt ions,
which hope you or some one through the
columns of the HERaLDwill answer:
lst. Is II true that no reliable record of the
proceedings of the Board Of Education is in
2nd. Is it true that of the large sum of
money expended during the last year, in the
purchase of lots and the building of school
houses, no detailed account has been kept?
Sd. Is ittrue that the salary of the City Su-
perintendent of Schools was raised one thou
sand dollars per year by the members OF the
Board OF Education, some members not being
aware OF the meeting orthe transaction?
4th. Is IL true that the superintendent in
sisted that the meeting of the Board at which
teachers were to be elected should be held
with closed doors, and is ii true that hereto
fore election meetings were held in secret?
5th. Is it true that 1t is custom If not
rule among the teachers of the city schools to
pupils to certain book house
9th. Is II true that aclaimprecisely cl similar to
that OF Mrs. Parker, which the Board rejected
at recent meeting, was allowed by the old
Board?
7th. Is IL true that the new Board will pur-
sue the carelessrecord and close corporation
policy which seems to have characterized the
old Board? REFORM
Los Angeles, Dec. 29th 1875.
Until the Inauguration of the newly
elected members we were under the
impression that the executive depart
ment of our schools was as carefully
and economically managed as that of
any other city in the State, and we
are now confident that no member or
ex-member of the Board is liable to
the charge Of intentional error. But
it is probable that an examination
into the proceedings of the old Board
will exhibit to considerable degree
a species of carelessness born of over
confidence in the reliability of others
and disposition to acceptthe appear
anee that every thing is all right,
rather than establish the fact by q
thorough official investigation. The
HERALD has no personal feeling in
the matter. It's purpose is to enhance
the usefulness aud to elevate beyond
their present high standard, the city
schools. But in doing this we shall
not forget that these schools belong to
and are supported by the people, who
have right to know how they are
conducted, and for what and to whom
every dollar of the school money is ex-
pended. We deny the legal right of
the Board of Education to transact
official business in secret, and we
shall maintain that all meetings of
the Board ought to be public, and the
proceedings of those meetings made
matter Of record. If i'm this or subse-
quent articles we embody statements
not strictly in accordance with the
facts or reflect unjustly OIL the official
acts of any one, it will be due to ero-
neous information of the correctness
of which we had reason to believe, and
not intentional, and we shall not only
feel thankful to those who enable us
to do so2but shall hasten to correct any

that all the Mexicans living on the

have left, and are said to be concentra-

they mean to cause trouble. Four of
them came to the store to-day, osten-
sibly to make purchases, but We think
they were really spies. We are well
armed and on the alert There are
seventy-tive to one hundred MeXicans
just below the line. The presence of
so many without having some visible
occupation, yet all having little
money, looks ominous. Stage passen-
gers who came in last evening report
large number of idle Mexicans IN
Tecate Valley. A number of horses
and mules have been stolen at differ
ent places along the line lately.

Crops In the County.
RICHARDSON, DALLAS Co.,

RICHARDSON, DALLAS CO.,
June 3, 1875. !
To the Editor of the Dallas Herald
We are in our harvest now in zeal
earnest, and have proved the opinion
| true that we have the best wheat crop
that we ever had in Texas. A great
deal of the wheat will yield over thirty
bushels per acre, and we have no very
light crops. So we are sure of n very
large average yield, and send you n
head that got from my crop to-day,
that ] think is uncommon for Texas,
though very good wheat country.
Before any of it was broken OIL it had
twenty-five meshes, several of which
had five grain to the mesh, as you can
see for yourself, and the entire head
had ninety-nine grains in it. Our corn
prospects are just as good as we could
ask, all looking fine and in fine condi-
ton. Oats have come out and are still
coming out since the late rains beyond
ANYTHING that ever saw. My oats
that was rather thin is sprouting up
from the ground, and promise ayield
of sixty to seventy bushel per acre,
where it did not look ten days ago like
making twenty-five bushels per acre
Our cotton crop that was so badly in
iured by cut worms during the dry
weather, is now coming up fresh and
is making a stand where it was entire
Nv too thin before the rains, Atogeth-
err, we have in this part of the county
the best prospect for an extra large crop
of everything that we have ever mad
since the war. j. II. F.
