Still we forbore that censure so richly deserved, until the measure of what we considered perfect meanness was filled to overflowing, and the anxiety of the company to hear themsely:s praised became so intense as to induce them to withdraw all patronage from the Journal office, exclude them from the theatre, and procure the publications you have seen inthe Transcript. Ofcourse we were no longer under obligations to the company to withhold the e~ pression of any opinion we might have formed of their abilities as performers. We have uniformly made a single exception, when speaking in disparaging terms of the company; not because we considered Mrs. Chapman a particular stan, but because she is perhaps above mediocrity of her profession in California, But we regard it as extremely absurd to suppose that one person of medium qua!ifieations can sustain eight or ten inferior, and in some instances almost idiotic performers, in @ community of the highest intellectual attainments. terms the course of the .

The San Franciseo Courier of the . . } (7th, contains an allusion to the epaaeqal in controversy between ourself and the . Transeript, which demands an explana. tion. The Courier says: . “Ifa public journal cannot bestow . praise Upon real merit without a pecu. niary considerution, it can certainly re. irain from wholesale abuse and excoriating eriticisms ” . We would say to the Courier that we too, believe that an institution of public benefit, embodying a preponderance good over its own defects, should be tol. crated; but if its defects are too glars . ing to escape the notice of the casual . ' observer, of course one in the situation . of a public journalist should have too . much respect to his reputation for judgment, to bestow indiscriminate praise upon that institution. . In such a case, ig to give items of news, the most he ean . do, is to select the redecming traits, and . give them @ passing notice, in as favor. . able a light as possible, omitting that . which is censurable. When the Chapman family became tho occupants of the Jenny Lind Theatre, we intended to give such notices of the performances as our judgment in the matter should dictate--always in as favorable a tight as circumstances would justify. We did so. But scarcely had two issuea of our paper made upon by persons conpected with the . ble impression in Nevada.” To satisfy you, and others who may feel a curiesity in the mutter, we will particularize a little. The obscene songs, of which we have before made mention, are too indecent to allow their farther notice. Mr. Chapman's manner, in speech and action, is certainiy very imperfect. We particularly refer to his habit of beginning his sentences with a stammer, which in many instances renders his part unintelligible —and concluding witha grunt. ‘The unnatural twitching and throwing of his legs, with an apparent weakness of the knees, we consider vulgar taste. These things made his performances appear inferior the first time . we witnessed them; the second time, they made him look foolish ; subsequently they have been truly disgusting.-. Maturer years might remove these eccentricities if they oocurred in a younger man—-they certainly would be less objectionsble on the sunny side of fifty. They are a decidedly good looking set of fellows, and we doubt not would do . good service in an emergency. chivalrous friend, Capt.

We don't wish to humble his vanity, and we readily admit that if all characters, amid Persons cer. q)} vicissitudes, every impulse of pas-. matter, and give miners the uso of the sion, in every kind of drama, required one unvarying style of deportment, ex. pression and attitude, then would a wooden head be a “star,” and so would C. A. King. Ifany Yankee was ever such a fool as Green makes of himself in attempting to personate a Yankee character, he was an exception to his kind. The province of an actor is “to hold the mirror up to nature,” not a carricature. Paper is wasted in remarks on such performers as Green and Hutchinson. As supernumeraries they might get along very well. We assure you, friend Hull, that we have touched far more lightly on the faults and peculiarities of many of the company at the Jenny Lind, than what you term our “keen, critical taste,” would prescribe. That we never praised “the family” excessively, was because we would not bestow indiscriminate and undeserved applause. That we have “dipped our pen in nitrie acid,” and “oxcoriated” them, is their fault, not ours. Justice demanded it. Avction.—-It will be seen by an advertisement, that I.

Messrs. Knrrors—In your last issue, }you published what you term a transs cript of the record of the judgment in which you prefaced by saying that the verdict is incomplete, unsatisfactory, &c. [ shall in a few words proceed to show that in this you are mistaken, and that the verdict is in all its parts complete. Nixon & Co, sued the Cayote company for damages to their ditch and mill arisjing from the Cayote company taking water into their own ditch. ‘Uheir suit, vered, while onthe other the jury rejfused to find. This refusal on the part fof the jury to find as to the ditches, is certainly, in alegal point of view, a verdict for the defendants so far as the ditches are concerned. On the same . principle as if E sue for damages done to any property, if the jury find no damages, the verdict is against me, because [ do not reeover that for which . sued. [ apprehend that members of the bar generally will regard the verdict for the defendants on the ditches in this case jas being as completeand as well delfined as that for the plaintiffs on the mill. As to the costs of suit the statute . reguiates them, and the jury could not /find costs where they are not allowed {by law. Lam informed by Mr. Irwin who was ; such as bed. / present, that the jury,after being polled . made a verbal statement that they found for the defendants on the ditches. But . the verdict was afterwards changed in order to free it from some little ambiguity which it contained.

The San Franciseo Courier of the . . } (7th, contains an allusion to the epaaeqal in controversy between ourself and the . Transeript, which demands an explana. tion. The Courier says: . “Ifa public journal cannot bestow . praise Upon real merit without a pecu. niary considerution, it can certainly re. irain from wholesale abuse and excoriating eriticisms ” . We would say to the Courier that we too, believe that an institution of public benefit, embodying a preponderance good over its own defects, should be tol. crated; but if its defects are too glars . ing to escape the notice of the casual . ' observer, of course one in the situation . of a public journalist should have too . much respect to his reputation for judgment, to bestow indiscriminate praise upon that institution. . In such a case, ig to give items of news, the most he ean . do, is to select the redecming traits, and . give them @ passing notice, in as favor. . able a light as possible, omitting that . which is censurable. When the Chapman family became tho occupants of the Jenny Lind Theatre, we intended to give such notices of the performances as our judgment in the matter should dictate--always in as favorable a tight as circumstances would justify. We did so. But scarcely had two issuea of our paper made upon by persons conpected with the . ble impression in Nevada.” To satisfy you, and others who may feel a curiesity in the mutter, we will particularize a little. The obscene songs, of which we have before made mention, are too indecent to allow their farther notice. Mr. Chapman's manner, in speech and action, is certainiy very imperfect. We particularly refer to his habit of beginning his sentences with a stammer, which in many instances renders his part unintelligible —and concluding witha grunt. ‘The unnatural twitching and throwing of his legs, with an apparent weakness of the knees, we consider vulgar taste. These things made his performances appear inferior the first time . we witnessed them; the second time, they made him look foolish ; subsequently they have been truly disgusting.-. Maturer years might remove these eccentricities if they oocurred in a younger man—-they certainly would be less objectionsble on the sunny side of fifty. They are a decidedly good looking set of fellows, and we doubt not would do . good service in an emergency. chivalrous friend, Capt.

A. King. Ifany Yankee was ever such a fool as Green makes of himself in attempting to personate a Yankee character, he was an exception to his kind. The province of an actor is “to hold the mirror up to nature,” not a carricature. Paper is wasted in remarks on such performers as Green and Hutchinson. As supernumeraries they might get along very well. We assure you, friend Hull, that we have touched far more lightly on the faults and peculiarities of many of the company at the Jenny Lind, than what you term our “keen, critical taste,” would prescribe. That we never praised “the family” excessively, was because we would not bestow indiscriminate and undeserved applause. That we have “dipped our pen in nitrie acid,” and “oxcoriated” them, is their fault, not ours. Justice demanded it. Avction.—-It will be seen by an advertisement, that I.

cript of the record of the judgment in which you prefaced by saying that the verdict is incomplete, unsatisfactory, &c. [ shall in a few words proceed to show that in this you are mistaken, and that the verdict is in all its parts complete. Nixon & Co, sued the Cayote company for damages to their ditch and mill arisjing from the Cayote company taking water into their own ditch. ‘Uheir suit, vered, while onthe other the jury rejfused to find. This refusal on the part fof the jury to find as to the ditches, is certainly, in alegal point of view, a verdict for the defendants so far as the ditches are concerned. On the same . principle as if E sue for damages done to any property, if the jury find no damages, the verdict is against me, because [ do not reeover that for which . sued. [ apprehend that members of the bar generally will regard the verdict for the defendants on the ditches in this case jas being as completeand as well delfined as that for the plaintiffs on the mill. As to the costs of suit the statute . reguiates them, and the jury could not /find costs where they are not allowed {by law. Lam informed by Mr. Irwin who was ; such as bed. / present, that the jury,after being polled . made a verbal statement that they found for the defendants on the ditches. But . the verdict was afterwards changed in order to free it from some little ambiguity which it contained.
