special benefit of Nevada. To this regular advent we are becoming resigned; it is all we can
be. We would as soon think of changing the
course of the comet as of this stage manager.
Finances cannot get low enough to stop him.
Curses are the meat on which he feeds, and the
only meat which is not given grudgingly. At
each return those who will pay a dollar can sec
him represent upon the stage the new way to
pay old debts; while those who credit him get
a parting rehearsal of his old way of paying
new debts. As would be expected such 4 manager can never command the service of suflicient talent to prevent tragedy becoming farce
and farce tragedy. The little of ability connected with his troupe is stultified by the stupidity of the supes, and from the drop of the
curtain to the fall of a king, some ridiculous
blunder characterizes the entire performance.
The rendition on Monday evening of a “Tale
of Mantua’’ was replete with absurdities, and
must have created in the audience a profound
disgust for Mantua and all Italy. The only redeeming feature of the first three acts was an
unlooked for descent of the curtain by which
Antonio’s (Potter) eoliloquy was most ludicrously abreviated. Antonio bad just commenced a confidential talk with himself when
the curtain came down just far enough to leave
his digestive organs in focus before an admiring audience. The manager, however, effected
acompromise; the curtain went up a little.
Antonio stooped a great deal, and had resumed
his soliloquy when down came the remorseless
tag, and Antonio and the machine boy had the
balance of their private matters to themselves.
This sudden and complete eclipse of Antonio
was as gratifying to the audience as it was unexpected, and partially reconciled them to their
former affliction, while Miss Demming and Warwiek infused some life and spirit in the two remaining acts. The noticeable features of the
farce which followed, were an unfortunate fracture in the manager's wardrobe, and the extraordinary location which he assigned to tho
heart. The evolutions of the manager in completing his toilet and concealing his rents excited a lively interest in the audience, and although not mentioned in the programme, was
the most edifying part of the evenings’s entertainment. A number of patrons of the Drama
were congregated in the vicinity of the footlights, and recognized in the most flattering
manner, and with enthusiastic applause, several gentlemen who presented themselves conapicuously in the house. Taken asa whole, the
acting of Mr. Warwick and Miss Demming,
considering their support, was creditable to
themselves. Miss Demming was called out, .
and appears to be a decided favorite. The balance of the company are scarce passable, and
the management is most abominable.
Tue Toap Eater.—In our last issue we no-.
ticed the Sierra Citizen’s scurrilous attack upon
Mr. Douglas, The Citizen recognizes our attention, and explains that it assumed the position
of scavenger, not so much for the purpose of
vilifying Mr. Douglas, as of catching some species of reptile. We have recognized in the editor of the Citizen, from the first, a complete specimen of the toad eater, but supposed that his
masters and owners would furnish him all of
that game he would require, and that, like his
associates of the administration organs, he
would only be expected to swallow the spawn
of corrupted power. However, we are not surprised at Mr. Citizen, just for the variety ef the
thing, hunting a little game on his own account.

ple to exclude slavery from the Territories,
nor was it proper that they should. The ques. tion was one of Constitutional law to be determined by the Supreme Court, and not by a par. ty Convention.
Many have supposed that this question was
decided in the Dred Scott case; but such we
believe is not the fact. The question was not
before the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott
case, and whatever opinions some of the Judges
may have expressed on the subject, they were
extra-judicial and amount to nothing. Chief Justice Taney, itis true, held that neither Congress nora Territorial Legislature could exclude slavery from a Territory, but the ruling
of the Court, which was concurred in by a majority of the Associate Justices, was made on a
far different ground. Whenever the constitutionality of some Territorial act excluding slavery is called in question, and brought before
the Supreme Court for adjudication, then, and
not till then, can the question be properly decided. The question at best is of but trifling
practical importance, and is one upon which
Democrats have for years held different opinions, without any one presuming to call in
question their Democracy.
In arecent discussion at Freeport, Illinois,
this question was propounded to Senator Douglas by his opponent, and the answer of Douglas
has afforded a number of old line Federalists
an opportunity to again read him out of the
Democratic party. Mr. Douglas is reported to
have said:
The next question Mr. Lineoln propounded
tome is: “Can the people of a Territory exclude slavery from their limits, by any fair
means, before it comes into the Union asa
State.’’ I answer emphatically, as Mr. Lincoln
bas heard me answer a hundred times, on every stump in Illinois, that, in my opinion, the
people of a Territory can, by lawful means, exclude
slavery before it comes in as a State. Mr. Lincoln
knew that I had given that answer over and
over again. He heard me argue the Nebraska
Bill on that principle, all over the State, in
1854-’55 and 756, and he has new no excuse to
eee to have any doubt upon that subject.
hatever the Supreme Court may hereafter decide, as to the abstract question of whether slavery may go in under the Constitution or not,
the — of a Territory have the lawful means
to admit it or exclude it, as they please; for the
reason that slavery eannot exist a day er an
hour anywhere unless supported by local police
regulations, furnishing remedies and means of
enforcing the right to hold slaves. Those local
and police regulations can only be furnished
by the local Legislature. If the people of the
Territory are opposed to slavery, they will elect
members to the Legislature who will adopt un— legislation to it. If they are for it,
they will adopt the legislative measures friendly to slavery. Hence, no matter what may be
the decision of the Supreme Court on that abstract question, still the right of the people to
make it a slave Territory or a free Territory is
perfect and complete under the Nebraska Bill.
] hope Mr. Lincoln will deem my answer satis. factory on this point.
_ The speech from which the above is taken,
was published in the Chicago Tribune, and the
reporter was of course a bitter, and unecrupulous opponent of the Lllinois Senator, and we
. have no assurance whatever that his words are
reported correctly. But even if the above are
his exact words, we can find but little in them
to which objection can be made. It is undoubtedly true that the people of a Territory could
make it practically free, if they were so disposed, even in case the Supreme Court should
decide that they had no legal right to exclude
slavery. In the absence of local legislation
for the protection of slave property, the institution could not exist in a State or Territary,
where any considerable number of the people
were opposed toit. The Constitution of the
United States affords no adequate protection to
slave holders, nor can men be punished for tam. pering with slaves, except by local laws which
the Territorial Legislature can enact or not as
they see proper. And thus could the people of
a Territory, by refusing to pass any laws on
the subject, effectually and peaceably exclude
slavery from their midst, without violating the
Constitution, notwithstanding the abstract right
might exist to hold slaves,
The remarks imputed to Douglas in regard
tow Territorial Legislature passing laws unfriendly to the institution of slavery, we are
inglined to believe are incorrectly reported. In
any case he could not have meant that the
Legislature would have the right to enact and
putin force unconstitutional laws, for such
laws would be set aside by the Courts. The
words imputed to him are liable to objection,
but his meaning will be miseonstrued only by
those who are determined te oppose and denounce him because he will not suffer himself
to be made the tool of sectionalism.
We are indebted to the proprietors of the
of the Sacramento Union, for a pamphlet containing the opinions of the Supreme Court, at
the July term, 1858. Besides the opinions, the
pamphlet contains a complete digest of the authorities, which renders it convenient for reference to the legal fraternity,
ELEcTION IN SACRAMENTO.—The Governor has
issued a proclamation for a special election of
a Senator of Sacramento county, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of W. I. Ferguson. The election takes place on the 6th of
November,
CaLaveras Curoniete.—This paper, published at Mokelumne Hill, comes A m4 this woek
in an enlarged form,
foot race between John Forbes, of Sutter, and
“Soda Bill,” of Nevada, which has been the
chief topie in sporting circles for some weeks
past, came off at Zabriskie’s, near Marysville,
about five o’clock in the afternoon of laat Saturday. Forbes won the race with ease, beating his antagonist over eight feet. The jstakes
were $1000 a side, and the distance run was
one hundred yards, The sporting men of Nevada bet their money freely on Soda Bill, who
seemed to be the favorite until a short time before the race was run; but Forbes’ friends
came in towards the last and quietly took up
all the bets offered against their man. We
should judge that not less than $10,000 was lost
by the Nevada county men alone, on the result
of this race.
How 18 1r?—We notice by the Sacramento
papers that commissions have been issued to
the Judges elect in a number of the judicial
districts, and among others to Judge Searls of
the 14th district, their terms of office commencing on the first of January next. This is one
of the districts in which there was a doubt as to
whether a Judge should be elected, and according to the decision of the Supreme Court in the
Controller case the election was clearly illegal,
and Judge Searls would be entitled to hold his
office only for the remainder of the term to .
which he was elected in 1855. If the commission was legally issued tothe Judge elect of
the 14th district, why is it that commissions
were not also issued to the Judges elect of the
6th, 8th, 12th and 15th districts?

Larcest Reservoir IN THE State.—The Union
Diteh Company have completed the survey of
the largest reservoir in the State. Itis located .
near the region of perpetual snow, on a tributary of the Stanislaus, and when filled, the water will cover fifteen hundred acres. The dam
will be completed this fall, before the rains set
in. The height of the dam is not given. The
company design to save the water in this reservoir, until late in the summer, when it will
be drawn upon, and by this means the Union
Ditch will have a perpetual supply. The reservoir is situated in a dense forest of pine and
fir, where but little water will be lost by evaporation. .

GeRMAN Emigrants For Catirornia.—A German paper of New York announces that a company of emigrants is being formed on the Rhine
and Moselle rivers, for the purpose of settling .
in California, on Fremont’s Mariposa ranch. .
It says:
The company is to consist of 1,000 members, .
each of whom is to take a share of $1,000, each .
being divisible into ten parts, of $100, which
may be sold to third persons, the holder of the
$1,000 share being responsible for the full
amonnt of his share, The company will oceupy
itself chiefly with agriculture and mining, and
will keep up a regular trade with Europe, shippiug the produce of their labor in a vessel of
their own, which will first be employed in trausporting them to their new home.
One-third of their eapital will be invested in
the purchase of land; and another third will be .
spent for buildings and tools, Institutions of
general interest, such as schools, trading houses
and manufacturing establishments, are provided
for in the plan of the association.
Great Cry ann Litrte Woor.—Under the .
commercial head of our paper, this morning,
will be found a statement of all the deposits of
gold dust from Fraser river made in the San
Francisco Mint. It appears that the first deposit was made in June; that the number of deposits made in that month was nineteen; in July,
eight; in August seventeen, and in September,
forty-six—the total amount of all the deposits
being 3,582 ounces, worth $57,000. It is said
—how truly, we do not know—that some considerable amount of Frazer river dust has been
sent to England; but it is not likely that more
has gone there than has come to San Francisco.
While we are not ready to denounee the Fraser
river mines as a humbug, we must say that, so
ia has been ‘‘a great cry and little wool,”’

Buastiné ExrertMents.—The San Juan Press
says that several mining companies are trying,
or about to try, the new experiment of blasting
the banks of mining claims. The result ofa
trial made last week by the Kentucky Co., at
Manzanita, is thus given:
They ran a straight drift into the bank for
twenty feet, then another at a right angle to it
for seven feet, and then another for a like distance in the same direction as the long drift.
Into this last small apartment six kegs of powder, making one hucrdred and fifty peeeee:
were put, and solidly packed with earth. The
explosion of these cracked the bank for a distance of thirty feet back, and threw down into
the open claim some ten or fifteen feet, crumbling it up thoroughly. A seeond blast, which
was conducted in the same manner, threw down
considerably more earth, and left the bank
cracked about thirty feet further back. These
two blasts, which cost about sixty-five dollars
each, have afforded the company an abundant
supply of dirt ever since, keeping their sluices
runviog full constantly, whereas, under the
usual system of piping, they were nearly empty
for three fourths of the time.
When it is considered that their water costs
them $45 per day, the loss resulting from piping
against abard cement bank three fourths of
the time, in order to obtain dirt for the other
fourth, can be easily estimated. The great advantage of the blasting process, then, is simply
this, that it enables the miner to be washing a
full run of dirt without intermission, and with
the same quantity of water which he formerly
employed to wash a much smaller amount. Of
course this syetem of blasting is most advantageous where the banks are hardest. But there
is no question of its great value to every hydraulic miner.
FrigutruL SvgNE IN A Tueater.—A_ telegraphic dispatch to the Shasta Republican,
dated Yreka, Oct. 8th, gives the following account of a frightful incident that occurred at
Colton Theater on the evening of the 7th:
The Alleghanians were performing in presence of a very large audience—most all the
ladies of Yreka were present—when the concert had fairly commenced, and at the close of
a very popular song, the stamping of the audience, shaking the floor of the stage, caused one
of the camphene lamps to upset, and while one
or two persons were endeavoring to smother
the flames another lamp was upset. About this
time the crowd made a rush for the stairs—
several persons seized the carpet of the stage,
with which to smother the flames, when most of
the other lamps were upset. The flames now
loomed up (erriffically, and the screams of women and children were appalling.
The jam at the stairway was suffocating, several of the ladies fainted, and it seemed that
the whole stage was in a blaze. The terror and
confusion that prevailed throughout the room
at this instant cannot be comprehended only by
those that have been placed in a like situation.
Some jumped down from the front balustrade,
some twelve or fourteen feet to the ground ;
others jumped down stairs over the heads of the
men and women ; some went head first. This
morning we find but few persons that know how
they got aown at all. But we are glad to say
all got out of the theater without serious injuries. The only complaints we hear of so far
are skinned shins, bruised heads and smashed
corns, the loss of hats and caps among the men,
aud mantillas, shawls, bonnets and unmentionables that require more space than was allowed
at the moment among the women. The fire was
extinguished in a short time, and all went home

covered up and crushed by the breaking of a

Ture Goip Cror.or 1857.—The production of
gold in Australia for the past year is set down
by the best English authorities at one hundred
millions of dollars. The production in other
countries is estimated follows : California, $65,000,000; Russia and Siberia, $20,000.000; other
parts of the world, $15,000,000. Total, $100,000,000. We thus have two hundred millions
as the gold crop of 1857, and the actual amount
is likely to be rather more than the estimated
aggregate. At this rate, two thousand millions
of gold will be thrown into the monetary circulation of the world during the next ten years.
