NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA,
FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1868, .
THE Curngse Banquet.—The long
basey was given in San Francisco on
Tuesday evening. That eminent Democratic Governor, Haight, presided. He
supped and talked with Chih; Tajen>
Sun’ Tajen and the rest of the Chinese
~ Embassadors, and made a speech in
which he predicted the glorious “tesults
which would flow from comimercial intercourse with the Chinese Empire; and
Casserly, the Democratic Senator, and
MeCoppin, Democratic Mayor, were.
there also. Think of it yo “moss cov-"
ered Democrats” of Nevada who heard.
the Governor during the canvass denounce the Chinese as thieving, opiumsmoking barbarians, and ask yourselves
if the Governor has ‘not got into the
company most appropriate for him ac”
cording to his own statement. We
have no objections to thé Governor en.
tertaining Chinese, but such a course
we should not think calculated to sat-.
isfy his followers of his sincerity in so
bitterly denouncing them during the
campaign.“ Then “he ‘wanted to shut.
out Chinese from intercourse with the
United States,. Now he. wants to build
up commores, knowing that commercial
intercourse will induce ‘immigration.
He stands before the people convicted
‘ of inconsistericy upon the Chinese question, His course proves that he simply
played the demagogue during the caiipaign-for the purposeof making a little.

ignorant, ‘ Ri

Tue Democratic: Convention.—
The State Democratic Convention met
in San Francisco on Wednesday and organized by electing old Uncle Helden
temporary chairman: On taking the.
chair he let off his bile against Congress, Freetiom’s’ Defendérs ‘and the
Grand: Army of ‘tho: Republic, all: of
whieh is very natural. . ‘The Army of
the Republic is composed. of loyal soldiers who crushed the rebellion, Congress is’nt Democratic ‘and Freedom’s
Defenders are loyal. Verily these are .
sufficient reasons for the, ebulition of
Democratic wrath, In the Southern
District Axtell is said to have a clean.
majority for the nomination on the Con:
gressional ticket. The Convention expected to get through work yesterday,
There will probably be a lively fight
over the nomination for Congress in the
Second District. Sacramento has instructed for ‘Coffroth and Nevada county, whose delegates want Watt, are instructed to nominations. The oppose
. fight over this question will likely be
ay lively.
_ SPIRITUAL MINING.—The Shasta
Courier says that a spiritual medium in
San Francisco has described the locality of a pay lead in the Bunker Hill
mining claims near that place. We have
had several such communications to
parties in this county, and some responsible digging has been done but nolead
has ever been found. The spirits or
their mediums lied in regard to the
Matter. It is surprising that men of
good sense will allow themselves to be
the dupes of either spirits or mediums,
Tae IMPEACHMENT .—Evarts, coun
ee] for Johnson, made his argument on
the 28th. He takes the ground that
Representatives were making a parti
«an warfare upon the President, and
that the reconstruction measure of
.Congrees are an unconstitutional en:
croachment upon the authority of the
President, and appeals to the Senate to
set aside the purposes of the House.—
He had not concluded when the Sena
adjourned on Wednesday. i
Tuk tenure of office bill isno new
thing. The subject spe apg
canvassed, but without ts, in 1835,
ning C. L. Graves, matager, opened
the Nevada Theatre with a first class
company, consisting of the Rand Sisters—Olivia andRosa—supported--by
Harry Brown—an old Nevada favorite
and ene of the most pleasing actors on
Willey and others. ‘This is decidedly
the best‘company that has appeared in
this city for a long time. It is difficult
todind two actresses posséssing—
versatility of talent as the Rands, and
they certainly made a-good impression
on the audience. The opening piece
was the “Three Fast Women,” a local
drama, lively, and thrilling with scenic
effects, and-fully equal to the popular
piece, entitled, “Under the Gas Light.
The piece is not, a8 some haye concluded from the title, of a fast character.—
The performances of the company are
worthy ‘of the.patronage of the most
fastidious and are sure to pl the refined, The characters were well sustained throughout the piece, and thie
railroad scene was one of the niost thrilling ever witntesed in this city. Atthe
conclusion of the play Graves was call“ed before the curtain and made a speech, .
in which he stated that he proposed to
visit this.city from time to time during
the season, and that he would bring
out the best pieces in. first-rate style,
and that our citizens would have an opportunity of seeing the best talent on
the coast. Graves’ reputatiun as a manager and his character as aman are sufficient guarantee that he will do as he
promises and‘hée should be’ well‘ sustained by--théatre goers.The minstrel
scené, in which the Ratid: Sisters ‘dccupied the ends was first rate. Our people have never heard better singing
than on Wednesday night. They have
musical voices,of great power, and their
enunciation is faultless. The sisters
rendered « duet in splendid style. “I
will be true.to thee’ delighted the audience. “The sabre of my sire,” sung
by Rosa Rand as a solo, and in which
the company joined in the chorus, was
one of the finest. songs we have ever
heard, and it was rendered with excellent effect. When the curtain fell the
audience called them out again;and it
was repeated. Should this troupe visit
the city again, they will find the theatre will be crowded. Their pieces and
songs are nearly all new, and the music
