Flaming posters and newspapers had been announcing for some days past that C.J Buorstecher and J.T. Lewis would speak at the Theatre public’s benefit it may be. well to stite that Be stecher is one ofthe 2570 ex-le'egates to the Convention _that placed the new novel before the people for theif rejection on next Wednesday, aad that Lewis is the man who asserted in a speech nade before our ‘citizens a few weeks since that no man, partly or ecétion, should be ALLOWED to vote against the “Constitution” if it was what its makers-elaimed it to be. Inotker words, Beerstecher is one of the feliows who strove in the Convention to bulldese all capital out of the State by his communirtic utterances, and Lewis ig the man who _openly advised his party to compel tue rest of the citizens to~vote 8 they (the WKearneyites) dictated. in spite of all preparations made, the two worthies fuiled to in‘ict their presence on the community. A good siged crowd had assombted at the Theatre at the time specified. A goodly share of the a idience, it is needless to say, turned out with the single desire to satis‘y their curiosity in regard to Beerstecher’s eccentricities. When time catie for the speaking to commence, neither of the expected orators had turoed up. Phe" boss—leeat ‘Kear-] aeyites were in a dreadful dilemma, They could’t “let that home without having some kid a circus. ©. W. Kitts was prevailedupon to take the President's chair, and Henry Herazinger, Jr:, was nominated Secretary. The Guild brother’s orchestra was secured and the fancommenced. E, Jewell, Jolinny Kiste’s partner inthe Eclipse Satoon, favored the atdience with two popular songs. They were reo dered in a fine manner, and the audience expressed their delight by Youd and long ‘ontinned applause crowd go “John T. Wickes next took the stage; and performed ow the flying trapeze of hightaTutin . sentehcesfor the remainder of the evening. “It is. the impression of thoge who watched the drift of his argent closely, that Wickes was speaking in favor éf the new Constitution. As we have intimated on one gr ‘two previous occasions, the Kearneyitesof Nevada county are demoralized . at Grass Valicy Sandlotters. Some of the new Constitution’s advocates resort .to the most contemptible trickery in hopes of holu. ing-their ownl against‘the tide: of poplar sentiment that has turned against them. ~ For instance, the Union relates how the meeting of Judge E. D. Wheeler, of San Francisco, had-been announced for a week previously, but on Wednesday a sma!! handbill was put out for a nreeting of the Workingmen on the same evening that Wheeler was to speak. Shortly after the Anti-Constitution meeting was commenced a racket and applause was started at the Workingmen’s © stand, just around the corner of Main street, intended to disturb and attract’ the crowd: A number of persons dssembled at the latter place, when several profane and drunken fel< lows, and a few “respectable agitatore’ organized a meeting and Gas. ey Wickes effervesced awhile. The affuir finally broke up in a row, the President throwing a would-be speaker from tlre stand. It was a full-fledged sandlo, demonstration, and the absence of officers whore duty it is to suppress hoodlams , aad drunken peace disturbers has uot as 7 been explained, ~—_—_ One Man Power oder the new Constitution the: Chief Justiée ofthe ‘Stiprémd Court would virtually control all its: deoisions-by s@lectiug from the bench. to decide importaat questions these of his associatesey ho,weresothis Qwn way ot think, “Jyshgess even, Ob pti ies . the Sa sreme U vart, are but-kuman, and itis neither politic »5? safe to throw grat teurptation hy tueir way. . ‘isa New.
