Sacramento, GARDINER & KIRK Third street near J. Grass Vatiey, Mr. Bett, at Adams & Co.’s, Valedictory, We take leave of our friends in our} editorial capacity this week, having disposed of all our interest in this -paper. The editorial charge of the Journat is now and hereafter in the hands of the gentleman whose name heads this column, who is, we believe, fully qualified for the position by talent and education. In leaving the station we have occupied so long, we earnestly request that the good will and patronage that has been extended to us, may be cuntinued to our succesMessrs. N. P. Brown & Co. are gentlemen well known in this community, practical printers, and some of them have been for along time conThe Jovurnat is sors in the paper. nected with the paper. now one of the most prosperous papers in To-day for the first time we ascend the editorial tripod: We confess “it is not without trepidation that we take upon ourselves the responsible charge of conducting a public journal. We have ever regarded the press as the upholder of morality and virtue, the disseminator of correct principles, and the reflection of the tone of public sentiment. While our conneetion with it lasts, we shall bend our efforts, humble though they be, to farther But in assuming our present position, we have fears that we may be found unequal to the task of supplying the demand thus made upon our judgment and intellect; and these fears are not a little increased by the recollection of the well known ability with which the Journat has been conducted by our predecessor. A new theatre is opened to us for action, and like a debutante we make our appearance on the stage and offer a timorous bow to an expectant public. The scenes and the piece are entirely new, for we comlits object and maintain its character. . . 1 The Virginia Election. It cannot be denied-thatthe result of the recent election in Virginia is destined tohave its influence at the ballot box in our own State in September next. There are many of our citizens, who, indifferent to political matters, or engrossed in business, have either not the inclination or time to investigate the causes which lie at the bottom of the result in Virginia. These, if Democrats and heretofore wavering, are perhaps now confirmed, and resolved to stand by the old party whose iron rule has remained so long unbroken. To these it matters not what principles or interests are at stake, what the true line of policy to be pursued, or whether the continued success of the party now in power would be disastrous to our young State. They have no care for the dangers which beset us, from the mal-administration of the Government, for they see them not. The election in the Old Dominion will have an influence on these, and on these alone. To him who investigates the causes *vhich led to the discomforture Tueatre.—Miss_ Estelle. Potter. and troupe Rave been performing at Concert Hall upwards of four weeks. This spacious and elegant Hall has been generally well and fashionably filled, and most of the time crowded to excess. A-goodly number of Ladies have on all occasions graced the hall with their presence. No previous company visiting Nevada, jmore flattering reception, or received a more cordialsupport. No”better evidehce of the artistic merit of the troupe is néeded than the high estimation in which they are held by the lovers of the drama in this city. : Miss Potter has given universal satisfaction by her life-like delineations of every character in which she has appeared. We hear the whole company complimented as one well worthy of patronage. : It will be seen by reference to another column, that the citizens of Nevada have tendered Miss Potter a complimentary benefit whichis to come off this evening. The house will undoubtedly be filled. The company take their leave of us --+ Aw Exsuct To fur Native Cairornraxs.— The native Californians about Los Angeles are . very indignant, and justly so, at an insult to them in the Act to Suppress Vagrancy, ‘ed by the last Legislature. The Act autho -zes the officers of the law to arrest and punish as vagrants all persons known as “greasers, jof mixed Spanish and Indian blood, without any visible occupation. “Phraseology is a disgrace to the Legislature which adopted it, and to the whole State, The word “greaser” is an has met with a insulting nickname, and is never ased by & nothing could have saved a large portion . “gentleman,” unless ina joke. Itisa word _applied by the vulgar in insult to any person jof Spanish blood; and the, very signi . and use of the word being an insult, we do not understand how the Legislature could have adopted it. Besides, we do not know that va. grancy is any worse in persons of Spanish blood than in those of American, and there t ‘. was no necessity atall for making such an invidious and insulting distinction. We trust that the next Legislature will wipe the thing from the statute book.—Cal. Chronicle. If our recollection is correct there is no such word as “greaser” in the vagrant act passed by the last Legislature. Iv the bill intro: duced by Senator Norman the word occurred, but it was stricken out prior to the passage of the act: a nD Row at tHE ARcapE—A disturbance arose at a fancy dress ball given at the Arcade Saloon, Monday night, in which Wm.

Sacramento, GARDINER & KIRK Third street near J. Grass Vatiey, Mr. Bett, at Adams & Co.’s, Valedictory, We take leave of our friends in our} editorial capacity this week, having disposed of all our interest in this -paper. The editorial charge of the Journat is now and hereafter in the hands of the gentleman whose name heads this column, who is, we believe, fully qualified for the position by talent and education. In leaving the station we have occupied so long, we earnestly request that the good will and patronage that has been extended to us, may be cuntinued to our succesMessrs. N. P. Brown & Co. are gentlemen well known in this community, practical printers, and some of them have been for along time conThe Jovurnat is sors in the paper. nected with the paper. now one of the most prosperous papers in To-day for the first time we ascend the editorial tripod: We confess “it is not without trepidation that we take upon ourselves the responsible charge of conducting a public journal. We have ever regarded the press as the upholder of morality and virtue, the disseminator of correct principles, and the reflection of the tone of public sentiment. While our conneetion with it lasts, we shall bend our efforts, humble though they be, to farther But in assuming our present position, we have fears that we may be found unequal to the task of supplying the demand thus made upon our judgment and intellect; and these fears are not a little increased by the recollection of the well known ability with which the Journat has been conducted by our predecessor. A new theatre is opened to us for action, and like a debutante we make our appearance on the stage and offer a timorous bow to an expectant public. The scenes and the piece are entirely new, for we comlits object and maintain its character. . . 1 The Virginia Election. It cannot be denied-thatthe result of the recent election in Virginia is destined tohave its influence at the ballot box in our own State in September next. There are many of our citizens, who, indifferent to political matters, or engrossed in business, have either not the inclination or time to investigate the causes which lie at the bottom of the result in Virginia. These, if Democrats and heretofore wavering, are perhaps now confirmed, and resolved to stand by the old party whose iron rule has remained so long unbroken. To these it matters not what principles or interests are at stake, what the true line of policy to be pursued, or whether the continued success of the party now in power would be disastrous to our young State. They have no care for the dangers which beset us, from the mal-administration of the Government, for they see them not. The election in the Old Dominion will have an influence on these, and on these alone. To him who investigates the causes *vhich led to the discomforture Tueatre.—Miss_ Estelle. Potter. and troupe Rave been performing at Concert Hall upwards of four weeks. This spacious and elegant Hall has been generally well and fashionably filled, and most of the time crowded to excess. A-goodly number of Ladies have on all occasions graced the hall with their presence. No previous company visiting Nevada, jmore flattering reception, or received a more cordialsupport. No”better evidehce of the artistic merit of the troupe is néeded than the high estimation in which they are held by the lovers of the drama in this city. : Miss Potter has given universal satisfaction by her life-like delineations of every character in which she has appeared. We hear the whole company complimented as one well worthy of patronage. : It will be seen by reference to another column, that the citizens of Nevada have tendered Miss Potter a complimentary benefit whichis to come off this evening. The house will undoubtedly be filled. The company take their leave of us --+ Aw Exsuct To fur Native Cairornraxs.— The native Californians about Los Angeles are . very indignant, and justly so, at an insult to them in the Act to Suppress Vagrancy, ‘ed by the last Legislature. The Act autho -zes the officers of the law to arrest and punish as vagrants all persons known as “greasers, jof mixed Spanish and Indian blood, without any visible occupation. “Phraseology is a disgrace to the Legislature which adopted it, and to the whole State, The word “greaser” is an has met with a insulting nickname, and is never ased by & nothing could have saved a large portion . “gentleman,” unless ina joke. Itisa word _applied by the vulgar in insult to any person jof Spanish blood; and the, very signi . and use of the word being an insult, we do not understand how the Legislature could have adopted it. Besides, we do not know that va. grancy is any worse in persons of Spanish blood than in those of American, and there t ‘. was no necessity atall for making such an invidious and insulting distinction. We trust that the next Legislature will wipe the thing from the statute book.—Cal. Chronicle. If our recollection is correct there is no such word as “greaser” in the vagrant act passed by the last Legislature. Iv the bill intro: duced by Senator Norman the word occurred, but it was stricken out prior to the passage of the act: a nD Row at tHE ARcapE—A disturbance arose at a fancy dress ball given at the Arcade Saloon, Monday night, in which Wm.
