In California the democrats have nominal ed Hon. John
Bgler for third term in the Office Of Governor and he
will be supported together with the ticket he heads by
the entire strength Of the administration party The
principal and perhaps the only opposition, will be the
American organization. The election of the Legsl
ture is however the great point of interest in tins srug
gle, upon its result depends the reelection
election of Senator Gwn. In the last Legislature the
democrats had nominal majority, but were unable to
concentrate upon any candidate. Gwin would not
withdraw, and the Frederick would not vote for
him. This time Mr. Gwin has taken the stump in per.

OPENING NIGHT BURToN's.-The theatrical season at
Burton's inauguraed last evening under promising
and suspicious circumstances. The pretty little theatre
had during the recess undergone thorough overhaul
ing, and shone out last evening in all the pride of
paintings, gildings and decorations. As might be
pected-even with Rachel making her doubt fully
and fashionably attended. Most of the old favories
among the artists have renewed their engagements and
several have been added to the stock. We
have doubt that while the former viii maintain their
hold popularity the latter will also fail to win
golden opinions.
