It is an old theme, and must sound to our readers iike a gong to a dying man. But unwelcome as may be the sound. we feel compelled to awaken attention to asubject which long ago merited the most serious consideration.— Nor bagit lost any ofits merits at this jate day. On every hand we hear expressed the confident prediction that our city will ere long be laidin ashes again. Everybody fears a calamity from the flames. It is the talk in families, in places of business, and on the strect. Scarcely a wind blows but some one involuntary . ” suggests : “What a fine time fora fire. Not a spark is kindled any bere out of its legitimate place, but strikes a terror and occasions a twelve days talk. “Ilow narrow an escape” is the patent exclamation. We live upon a vofcano and all feel an ever-living dread of something awful in store for us. Yet the means are inour own hands to secure safety and extinguish fears. We have already exhausted the subjeet of protection by means of water-works or engines. Nothing short of the severest eompulsion, will, we are satisfied, ever cause the present population of Nevada io protect their property against fires. Bomehow the spirit does not seem to be in the We have plenty of men to vote but few to pay. Otber towns move onward, secure property, and grow and prosper. We, with more advantages than any of them do nothing but live andtremble. A flame as large as a Llanket when discovered would be liable to destroy hundreds of thousands of dollars to-day. Even the poor precautions resolved on by the Town Trustees are neglected. There is an ordinance we think, which provides that each res ident head of a family shail have a certain quantity of water kept constantly on hand atall times. There was an ordinance relative to stove pipes and chimneys, and another requiring ladders.— As the fire season is upon us let us see that these ordinances, if still living, be enforced. If not living, let us have some local enactment which will eonduce to security. Every stove pipe, stove, chimney, and fire plaee in the city should be rigidly examined and the owner or user of it be compelled to put it ina safe condition. Ifnothing better can be done let us have an ordinance which will inspect the fire arrangemeats of every house, whieh will compel the keeping of abundant water always in‘readiness, and other apparatus necessary to assist inthe extinguishment of fires.— Letevery precaution be taken until McRoberts & Co. shall have completed the laying of their large pipes through our streets and we may feel compara— tively safe. We hope the Trnstees will examine into this matter and act. as we doubt not they will, promptly. We also express a hope that our worthy City Marshal, who lately received so fiattering a vote fromthe people, as the guardian of their interests, will see that no law provided to protect the town against fires is disregarded. Let us be vigilant for a season, hoping for more security in the future. place. AccIDENT FROM CARKLESSNESS.— An accident ofa serious nature occurred at the Nebraska shaft on Saturday last. At the time of shifting hands in the morning, six men got in the car to descendthe inclined shaft, before the rope was properly attached. The track is 440 feet in length and onan incline of about 45 degrees. Down this track the caz started with fearful velocity. The engineer attempted to use a check, and by so doing threw one man, Samuel Dayton, out in front and the car passed ever him, breaking his back, disjointing his knee and bruising him terribly,— The car in passing over the body of Dayton was thrown from the track.— Four men at this time jumped out leaving Mr. Thomas Godfrey, who went to the bottom in the ea-, and was badly bruised. Ft ieexpected that he will be about, however. in afew days. Dayton is not expected to recover. The accident was caused by the carelessness of the men in jumping iuto the car before she engineer was ready. te" Brother Avery wants us to get up a list of the men of Nevada who are not aspirants for office. Supposing Nevada County is meant, we would deferentially mention Brothers Avery and Roberts, and ourself, and close the list. Any gentleman named, feeling himself misrepresented, can have his appellative giased by making propre complaints, . Ho, THE Sranparv.—The Sacra;mento Standard, of June 4th classes the . Journat with the Black Republican jpapers. It is not the name we care !about, but the motives which we believe . actuate the Standard in so classifying . our paper. Were wea snpporter of the 'Republican party no one in the State would more boldly avow it. Wesee no . reason to be ashamed of an association with the millions of educated freemen of the North who belong to that party and he whois deterred solely from acting . with the Republicans politically. because some fellow with less brains than ' nalictousness has prefixed “Black” to the party name, to answer with the ignorant in lieu of argument, is unfit to associate with any respectable party, . and Mr. Boits or any other loco-foco may absorb him, we care not how soon hor how long he keeps him. The name has no terrors for us. Neitherhasthe Standard. Wewant no one to falsify our position, even for our benefit. And certainly no paper in the State ought to be more tolerant than the Standard. Its editor entertains views on political questions, as well as on law poinis, peculiarly his own. In many respects he is at variance with standard authority— both legally and politieally. Beeause he, with all his tangentiai flights, elioo. ses to herd where the pap and offices are, is no reason why we should go where the spoils are sure to be two years hence. We entertsin our own peculiar views also, but unlike the editor of the Standard, we do not force ourselves into a party where we do not properly belong to publish our party heresies there. If the Standard cannot tolerate independent views aud position in politics, it ean find a more legitimate vent for its feelings, than through patent falsehoods, There was a contemptible puppy in Sacramento, in the same vocativn as Mr. Botts, whotried the same game of misrepresenting us a year ago. We hed supposed when /e was kieked to silence and his paper died of inanition, that we would have to deal with a different breed of dogs from the same kennel, and when Mr. Botts assumed the editorial management of a Democratic paper at Sacramento, from his reputation for ability and as a gentleman we ind ulged in the belief that no eatchwords for the prejudiced would be used by him in place of sound argument, but that fairness would characterize his course, A hope is still entertained that we are not to be wholly disappointed. B.F. Wasuineton’s Letrer-—-The Custom House Collector of the principal port in the State, who is supposed to have amore intimate connection with the President than any other man on the eoast, and therefore to speak with authority, has written a letter on political topies toa Democrat, doubtless with the intention of having it put in print. In view of the hard row of corn he haa to hoe in endorsing the leading supporters of the administration in their opinion of of the obligations of the general government with respect to the protection of slavery in the territories, Mr. Washington, with an idea to policy and the main chance, attempts to get. in the outset, as far as possible on the popular sovereignty shute. He declares himself a believer in the power of the people of a Territory to exclude slavery if they choose but before closing his epistle takes occasion to define the difference between slavery and slare property, and pronounees in favor of Congress interfering for protection in favor of such property —and thereby practically makes a distinction w'thout a difference. Mr, Washington’s idea, or the idea of the power that dictated theletter, was to befog the subject he had in charge, which to some extent he has done. Every clear head will, however, discover that he eomes out of the same end of the cornueopia thatthe opponents of popular sovereignty inthe Demoeracy do, whenever they attempt to argue the ques tion. The difference between Mr. Washington and the rabid, supporters of the administration south is absolutely nothing. His utmost endeavors might be expected to be put forth in this state on moderate grounds, but there is always a mental reservation behind, latent now but active when need be, for the election of Gwin, or any other man, who would be sure to go with Senator Brown or Davis for a slave code for Territories. We like an open wndisguised issue, and would much prefer that the real, universal question, of the rights and power of the general government in Territories should be settled fairly at once. Let us have no evasion. LecompToN Primary MR&eETING.— The Lecomptons held a primary meeting for the election of delegates to the state convention on Saturday iast. The contest was between Henry Meredith for Congress and the friends of J.R. McConnell for Supreme Judge. Out of more than 300 votes polled McConnel}’s friends secured less than 40, which demonstrates that under the management of wire-pullers no man of intellect has any business to aspire to an office. The present system of nominating men is a cheat upon the people hein ME ON ig IE AN SPAR: IER EL tee el tye SS Keer Co+.—If any lady, any gentleman, or any body, wants to preserve a proper temperature these hot days, we would respeetfully suggest frequent visits to Flurshutz, above J. S. Wall’s, on Broad Street. Flurshutz does get up a splendid article of ice cream, strawberries and cream or anything else in ro line. Just visit his saloon and try im. Independent Organization. A paper at the office of John Anderson, Esq., has been signed by more than a hundred and twenty of the principal business men of this city, pledging themselvesto meet in mass convention on the 18th day of June at the Court House to nominate a ticket which shal! not owe its origin to political trickery. Similar papers are being numerously signed in all parts of the county. From the best information we can gather it seems highly probable that not Tess than tive or six hundred naines will be added to the list. A loeal party wil thus commence with the aid of hundreds of the staunehest men of the county, and with least will those who take part in the independeut movement have the consciousness of having been instrumental in presenting good men, and we hope voting for them too. lt is possille that the independent nominees may not succeed in the ensning canvass. But it is certain that should all who are dissatisfied with existing political parties, their policy and nominees rally to the suppert of a people’s ticket the victory 1s easy. There are discontents enough inthe organized parties to reduce any party below the winning point. Whetherthe peopie’s movement shall absorb all these and the men with lout a party, in the contest begun, is a . question that we would that we could solve affirmatively. But whether it does or not we feel strong in the belief that a body of substantial citizens like those who have subscribed their names to this movement can hold a power in their hands potent for good in all succeeding . E fair prospect of ultimate suceess. At eleetions. ‘They ean compel other par. . ties to nominate fir office good men, or, holding tho balance of power, determine a political contest according to the merits of the candidates without reference to party. If the people by organization can only effect the great object of placing good men in office, they will have produced a revolution for good they might well afford to make an exertion for and be proud of. We would call upon every tax paying citizen of eyery party; every man who desires to see the affairs of the public well conducted, to take part ia the mass convention in this city on the 18thinst. No political trickery shall bar you out. It willbe a convention where every citizen shall have a voice, where subsidized delegates do not come, but where the people act for themselves after the purest democratic fashion uncheated and cheating none. The evilsof the old convention system are universally acknowledged Let it bedone away with and a full, free and patriotic consultation of eitizens, unpledged to anything but the public good, be substituted. Now, while every party is filled with malcontents, and hundreds of men are without a pagty with which they can conscientiously act, is the time forthe people to move. Old Whigs, Americans, Democrats, Redemocratic convention cn the 18th of June, and help make a ticket of vour own that you, norany citizen need be ashamed to vote. Administration Primary Meeting.— On Saturday the Administration Democracy held their primary meeting in this city, to elect delegates to the State Convention. 364 votes were cast in al] though no inconsiderable effort was put forth to get the sovereigns out. The names of delegates elected arc as_ follows :—H. Meredith, A. Casamayon, A. T. Laird, Casper Haupt, W.F. Anderson, H. Mills, J. C. Duffy aud S. McCoy —all pledged to support Henry Meredith for Congress. The delegation is unpledged. so far as we know, on the Gubernatorial question, and will probably go into convention prepared to buy and sell on the most advantageous terms for Meredith. Street Improvement.—Tie property holders on Broad street have contracted portion of that street extending from about 160° feetabove and 300 feet below Pine, The work is nearly completed. We congratulate our Broad ment, Tue Fovurts.—At an adjourned mecting held at the Court House on Saturday last, the committees ay pointed on a former meeting reported and were discharged. Acommittee of fire was appointed to aseertain the probable cost of a dinner, and another of seven to obtain subscriptions to pay the expenses. of the celebration. The committee will report at 8 Pp. M. on Saturday next, tu which hour the meeting adjourned. TeRRIBLE ACCIDENT AT THB Nome Lakeg Reservation. —While attempting to climb a very high politica! ladder in the neighborhood of the Nome Lackee Reservation on Saturday last, a saddler known as Subguv Lewis was suddenly capsized therefrom by a heavy sneeze from an old Indien hunter known as Vince, and so far did he fall that he 'hasnot as yet, and nover will “touch bottom.” A person named Weller who had boosted Subguv up to hie elevation had the wind knocked out of lim by Se ge lsh sn Ss n= the unfortunate elimber’s fall.—Butte .

It is proper to say that an animated debate sprung up in the eonvention on the policy of nominating a county ticket. Messrs Birdseye, Churchman, Gaylord and Crossman op. posed the motion to nominate with much force and reason, but the outside dele! gations were opposed to coming to the county seat again. A motion to adjourn for six weeks was lost and the convention proceeded to nominate a county ticket in full, Before adjourning the following resolutions were passed— Resolved, That the Republicans of Nevada county invite the co-operation . of all good citizens in electing men to . the ofilees of this county who are qualified for the positions to be filled, and whose past charaeter are sutiicient guarantee that the interests of the county . will be in safe and honest hands. . Resolved, ‘That in the selection of the ‘ticket this day presented for the suffra. ges of the people of the county this convention have not been governed by any feeling of party illiberality but have taken men in some instances without their party lines, believing that the true tests for local position should be the character of the candidates and not mere party discipline. The N. Y. Tribune of the 4ih May says: The “New Popular Play, entitled Sickles, or the Washington Tragedy,” was produced last evening, for the first time, in the pure and puritanical city of Boston, at the National Theatre, which is under the direction of the “Star Sisters, Lucille and Helen.” Tho dramasis . personae are: Sickles: 22.

The author of this masterpicce of Athenian genius is as yet unknown, but the Boston Ledger observes that “it is said to be a very close and correct dramatization from the facts, and offers with . it a good moral.” Mr, Tennyson’s new volume of poems is nearly ready forthe press.

It is an old theme, and must sound to our readers iike a gong to a dying man. But unwelcome as may be the sound. we feel compelled to awaken attention to asubject which long ago merited the most serious consideration.— Nor bagit lost any ofits merits at this jate day. On every hand we hear expressed the confident prediction that our city will ere long be laidin ashes again. Everybody fears a calamity from the flames. It is the talk in families, in places of business, and on the strect. Scarcely a wind blows but some one involuntary . ” suggests : “What a fine time fora fire. Not a spark is kindled any bere out of its legitimate place, but strikes a terror and occasions a twelve days talk. “Ilow narrow an escape” is the patent exclamation. We live upon a vofcano and all feel an ever-living dread of something awful in store for us. Yet the means are inour own hands to secure safety and extinguish fears. We have already exhausted the subjeet of protection by means of water-works or engines. Nothing short of the severest eompulsion, will, we are satisfied, ever cause the present population of Nevada io protect their property against fires. Bomehow the spirit does not seem to be in the We have plenty of men to vote but few to pay. Otber towns move onward, secure property, and grow and prosper. We, with more advantages than any of them do nothing but live andtremble. A flame as large as a Llanket when discovered would be liable to destroy hundreds of thousands of dollars to-day. Even the poor precautions resolved on by the Town Trustees are neglected. There is an ordinance we think, which provides that each res ident head of a family shail have a certain quantity of water kept constantly on hand atall times. There was an ordinance relative to stove pipes and chimneys, and another requiring ladders.— As the fire season is upon us let us see that these ordinances, if still living, be enforced. If not living, let us have some local enactment which will eonduce to security. Every stove pipe, stove, chimney, and fire plaee in the city should be rigidly examined and the owner or user of it be compelled to put it ina safe condition. Ifnothing better can be done let us have an ordinance which will inspect the fire arrangemeats of every house, whieh will compel the keeping of abundant water always in‘readiness, and other apparatus necessary to assist inthe extinguishment of fires.— Letevery precaution be taken until McRoberts & Co. shall have completed the laying of their large pipes through our streets and we may feel compara— tively safe. We hope the Trnstees will examine into this matter and act. as we doubt not they will, promptly. We also express a hope that our worthy City Marshal, who lately received so fiattering a vote fromthe people, as the guardian of their interests, will see that no law provided to protect the town against fires is disregarded. Let us be vigilant for a season, hoping for more security in the future. place. AccIDENT FROM CARKLESSNESS.— An accident ofa serious nature occurred at the Nebraska shaft on Saturday last. At the time of shifting hands in the morning, six men got in the car to descendthe inclined shaft, before the rope was properly attached. The track is 440 feet in length and onan incline of about 45 degrees. Down this track the caz started with fearful velocity. The engineer attempted to use a check, and by so doing threw one man, Samuel Dayton, out in front and the car passed ever him, breaking his back, disjointing his knee and bruising him terribly,— The car in passing over the body of Dayton was thrown from the track.— Four men at this time jumped out leaving Mr. Thomas Godfrey, who went to the bottom in the ea-, and was badly bruised. Ft ieexpected that he will be about, however. in afew days. Dayton is not expected to recover. The accident was caused by the carelessness of the men in jumping iuto the car before she engineer was ready. te" Brother Avery wants us to get up a list of the men of Nevada who are not aspirants for office. Supposing Nevada County is meant, we would deferentially mention Brothers Avery and Roberts, and ourself, and close the list. Any gentleman named, feeling himself misrepresented, can have his appellative giased by making propre complaints, . Ho, THE Sranparv.—The Sacra;mento Standard, of June 4th classes the . Journat with the Black Republican jpapers. It is not the name we care !about, but the motives which we believe . actuate the Standard in so classifying . our paper. Were wea snpporter of the 'Republican party no one in the State would more boldly avow it. Wesee no . reason to be ashamed of an association with the millions of educated freemen of the North who belong to that party and he whois deterred solely from acting . with the Republicans politically. because some fellow with less brains than ' nalictousness has prefixed “Black” to the party name, to answer with the ignorant in lieu of argument, is unfit to associate with any respectable party, . and Mr. Boits or any other loco-foco may absorb him, we care not how soon hor how long he keeps him. The name has no terrors for us. Neitherhasthe Standard. Wewant no one to falsify our position, even for our benefit. And certainly no paper in the State ought to be more tolerant than the Standard. Its editor entertains views on political questions, as well as on law poinis, peculiarly his own. In many respects he is at variance with standard authority— both legally and politieally. Beeause he, with all his tangentiai flights, elioo. ses to herd where the pap and offices are, is no reason why we should go where the spoils are sure to be two years hence. We entertsin our own peculiar views also, but unlike the editor of the Standard, we do not force ourselves into a party where we do not properly belong to publish our party heresies there. If the Standard cannot tolerate independent views aud position in politics, it ean find a more legitimate vent for its feelings, than through patent falsehoods, There was a contemptible puppy in Sacramento, in the same vocativn as Mr. Botts, whotried the same game of misrepresenting us a year ago. We hed supposed when /e was kieked to silence and his paper died of inanition, that we would have to deal with a different breed of dogs from the same kennel, and when Mr. Botts assumed the editorial management of a Democratic paper at Sacramento, from his reputation for ability and as a gentleman we ind ulged in the belief that no eatchwords for the prejudiced would be used by him in place of sound argument, but that fairness would characterize his course, A hope is still entertained that we are not to be wholly disappointed. B.F. Wasuineton’s Letrer-—-The Custom House Collector of the principal port in the State, who is supposed to have amore intimate connection with the President than any other man on the eoast, and therefore to speak with authority, has written a letter on political topies toa Democrat, doubtless with the intention of having it put in print. In view of the hard row of corn he haa to hoe in endorsing the leading supporters of the administration in their opinion of of the obligations of the general government with respect to the protection of slavery in the territories, Mr. Washington, with an idea to policy and the main chance, attempts to get. in the outset, as far as possible on the popular sovereignty shute. He declares himself a believer in the power of the people of a Territory to exclude slavery if they choose but before closing his epistle takes occasion to define the difference between slavery and slare property, and pronounees in favor of Congress interfering for protection in favor of such property —and thereby practically makes a distinction w'thout a difference. Mr, Washington’s idea, or the idea of the power that dictated theletter, was to befog the subject he had in charge, which to some extent he has done. Every clear head will, however, discover that he eomes out of the same end of the cornueopia thatthe opponents of popular sovereignty inthe Demoeracy do, whenever they attempt to argue the ques tion. The difference between Mr. Washington and the rabid, supporters of the administration south is absolutely nothing. His utmost endeavors might be expected to be put forth in this state on moderate grounds, but there is always a mental reservation behind, latent now but active when need be, for the election of Gwin, or any other man, who would be sure to go with Senator Brown or Davis for a slave code for Territories. We like an open wndisguised issue, and would much prefer that the real, universal question, of the rights and power of the general government in Territories should be settled fairly at once. Let us have no evasion. LecompToN Primary MR&eETING.— The Lecomptons held a primary meeting for the election of delegates to the state convention on Saturday iast. The contest was between Henry Meredith for Congress and the friends of J.R. McConnell for Supreme Judge. Out of more than 300 votes polled McConnel}’s friends secured less than 40, which demonstrates that under the management of wire-pullers no man of intellect has any business to aspire to an office. The present system of nominating men is a cheat upon the people hein ME ON ig IE AN SPAR: IER EL tee el tye SS Keer Co+.—If any lady, any gentleman, or any body, wants to preserve a proper temperature these hot days, we would respeetfully suggest frequent visits to Flurshutz, above J. S. Wall’s, on Broad Street. Flurshutz does get up a splendid article of ice cream, strawberries and cream or anything else in ro line. Just visit his saloon and try im. Independent Organization. A paper at the office of John Anderson, Esq., has been signed by more than a hundred and twenty of the principal business men of this city, pledging themselvesto meet in mass convention on the 18th day of June at the Court House to nominate a ticket which shal! not owe its origin to political trickery. Similar papers are being numerously signed in all parts of the county. From the best information we can gather it seems highly probable that not Tess than tive or six hundred naines will be added to the list. A loeal party wil thus commence with the aid of hundreds of the staunehest men of the county, and with least will those who take part in the independeut movement have the consciousness of having been instrumental in presenting good men, and we hope voting for them too. lt is possille that the independent nominees may not succeed in the ensning canvass. But it is certain that should all who are dissatisfied with existing political parties, their policy and nominees rally to the suppert of a people’s ticket the victory 1s easy. There are discontents enough inthe organized parties to reduce any party below the winning point. Whetherthe peopie’s movement shall absorb all these and the men with lout a party, in the contest begun, is a . question that we would that we could solve affirmatively. But whether it does or not we feel strong in the belief that a body of substantial citizens like those who have subscribed their names to this movement can hold a power in their hands potent for good in all succeeding . E fair prospect of ultimate suceess. At eleetions. ‘They ean compel other par. . ties to nominate fir office good men, or, holding tho balance of power, determine a political contest according to the merits of the candidates without reference to party. If the people by organization can only effect the great object of placing good men in office, they will have produced a revolution for good they might well afford to make an exertion for and be proud of. We would call upon every tax paying citizen of eyery party; every man who desires to see the affairs of the public well conducted, to take part ia the mass convention in this city on the 18thinst. No political trickery shall bar you out. It willbe a convention where every citizen shall have a voice, where subsidized delegates do not come, but where the people act for themselves after the purest democratic fashion uncheated and cheating none. The evilsof the old convention system are universally acknowledged Let it bedone away with and a full, free and patriotic consultation of eitizens, unpledged to anything but the public good, be substituted. Now, while every party is filled with malcontents, and hundreds of men are without a pagty with which they can conscientiously act, is the time forthe people to move. Old Whigs, Americans, Democrats, Redemocratic convention cn the 18th of June, and help make a ticket of vour own that you, norany citizen need be ashamed to vote. Administration Primary Meeting.— On Saturday the Administration Democracy held their primary meeting in this city, to elect delegates to the State Convention. 364 votes were cast in al] though no inconsiderable effort was put forth to get the sovereigns out. The names of delegates elected arc as_ follows :—H. Meredith, A. Casamayon, A. T. Laird, Casper Haupt, W.F. Anderson, H. Mills, J. C. Duffy aud S. McCoy —all pledged to support Henry Meredith for Congress. The delegation is unpledged. so far as we know, on the Gubernatorial question, and will probably go into convention prepared to buy and sell on the most advantageous terms for Meredith. Street Improvement.—Tie property holders on Broad street have contracted portion of that street extending from about 160° feetabove and 300 feet below Pine, The work is nearly completed. We congratulate our Broad ment, Tue Fovurts.—At an adjourned mecting held at the Court House on Saturday last, the committees ay pointed on a former meeting reported and were discharged. Acommittee of fire was appointed to aseertain the probable cost of a dinner, and another of seven to obtain subscriptions to pay the expenses. of the celebration. The committee will report at 8 Pp. M. on Saturday next, tu which hour the meeting adjourned. TeRRIBLE ACCIDENT AT THB Nome Lakeg Reservation. —While attempting to climb a very high politica! ladder in the neighborhood of the Nome Lackee Reservation on Saturday last, a saddler known as Subguv Lewis was suddenly capsized therefrom by a heavy sneeze from an old Indien hunter known as Vince, and so far did he fall that he 'hasnot as yet, and nover will “touch bottom.” A person named Weller who had boosted Subguv up to hie elevation had the wind knocked out of lim by Se ge lsh sn Ss n= the unfortunate elimber’s fall.—Butte .

It is proper to say that an animated debate sprung up in the eonvention on the policy of nominating a county ticket. Messrs Birdseye, Churchman, Gaylord and Crossman op. posed the motion to nominate with much force and reason, but the outside dele! gations were opposed to coming to the county seat again. A motion to adjourn for six weeks was lost and the convention proceeded to nominate a county ticket in full, Before adjourning the following resolutions were passed— Resolved, That the Republicans of Nevada county invite the co-operation . of all good citizens in electing men to . the ofilees of this county who are qualified for the positions to be filled, and whose past charaeter are sutiicient guarantee that the interests of the county . will be in safe and honest hands. . Resolved, ‘That in the selection of the ‘ticket this day presented for the suffra. ges of the people of the county this convention have not been governed by any feeling of party illiberality but have taken men in some instances without their party lines, believing that the true tests for local position should be the character of the candidates and not mere party discipline. The N. Y. Tribune of the 4ih May says: The “New Popular Play, entitled Sickles, or the Washington Tragedy,” was produced last evening, for the first time, in the pure and puritanical city of Boston, at the National Theatre, which is under the direction of the “Star Sisters, Lucille and Helen.” Tho dramasis . personae are: Sickles: 22.
