Editorial Correspondence.
SACRAMENTO, May 6, 1856


TIE time fixed for the adjournment of
the Legislature is tomorrow at 10 o'clock
But there is already a talk of a prolonga-
tion til. Tuesday, and it is barely possible
that the session may not end for week
longer The excuse is that there is no
time tc provide for proper disposition
Of the State prison matter, but this excuse
is the same one used to procure the pre-
vioas postponement Of adjournment, and
the Legislature is little nearer the matter
now than it was then. A bill passed the
House last night to anpul the contract of
Gen. Estell, and for the State to take
charge Of The prisoners, and an appropria-
tion Of $4,000 is made in the bill to
pay for certain fixtures that arc necessary,
and $4,000 more for the pay of officers
to take charge Of the prison. The bill
further gives Gen. Estell power to sue
the State for an amount not exceeding
$l27 900 for annulling his coptract 1t
is the belief Of the House that he has
violated his contract, and SO deserves
nothing at the hands Of the State, but it
Is willing to allow him to seek redress
against The State in the courts if he feels
aggrieyed. Ny own impression is that
Gen Estell would be glad to give up his
contract to-day, because be cannot full
FL 1t, and cannot afford to keep it, but he
will hold on to it as long as he can, in
hopes to bleed the State. The Senate
will probably pass this bill, but the Gov
ernor is almost sure to veto it.
The Senate has now upon its table
about one hundred and fifty bills unfn-
ished, that have passed the House, and
will probably adjourn with its business in
this condition. The Senate has been a
talking rather than a working body this
Session, and that is the reason it is so far
behind the House. In the latter body
the members were all new to legislative
business but five Of them, yet they have
worked better than the Senate, and ac-
complished far more, though half the
members of that body hold over. Many
of the bills upon the table of the Senate
are of great Importance to the State, and
it is pity they must be lost.
The capitol building has been finished,
and enclosed in substantial iron fence.
1t is beautiful building, and an honor to
Sacramento. But the State should not
depend upon charity for its public build
ings, and should have taken some steps
this year for building of its own Tbs
city is too much in debt for it to afford to
furnish building of this character free
Of charge, and the State will be expected
and induced by and by to pay heavy
rent for all the time this present building
is occupied. The State is now paying
very high rents for offices, and before long
the cost of a good building will be used
up in this way.
Candidates for State Offices are announ-
cling themselves fast There are said to be |
fifteen candidates for Governor in the
Senate and several in the House. With
30 many to pick from the people must be
we'll served.

Musical Entertainment.

On Monday evening last, we had the
pleasure of listening to the first of Madame
Anna Bishops series of Concerts, at the
elegant Drawing Room Theatre in this city.
Never were we more truly delighted than
on that occasion. Her voice retains all
its melody her music all its perfection.
And if a change has occurred since last
we heard her it is such a one as the sum-
mer's sun effects on the growth of early
spring, ripening it into rich harvest =
The entertainment opened with that most
beautiful of Rossini's, eye tormentors," +"
which was sung by Herr Mengis, in his
best style, which is, to say the least, al
most par excellence Immediately follow
ing Bellini's "Care Compagne," by Mad
anne Anna Bishop, whose appearance was
greeted with such laundering applause,
that it could only be equalled by that
which followed at the close of the song
The next was Napoleon's Grand March,
on the piano, by NJ Bochsa, who really
executed it in mastery style, but in his
usual sreet temper, made use of some very
condemnatory expressions relative to the
piano. "Home, sweet home," was next
sung by Madame Bishop. Never was
there a change so visible as that wrought
on the minds Of the audience by the plain
tive tune and touching words of that sweet
est of songs. Every noise was hushed to
death-like stiffness and so intense be-
came the excitement, that ere the last
sound died on the ear, the applause burst
forth like hurricane over howery mead,
drowning its sweetness in thunder. Many
fond remembrance it awakened in the
breasts of her audience. The next was
the "Happy Switzer," sung by Herr Men
gis. This is a favorite Tyrolienno, and
was we'll sung. "The Harp that once thro'
Tarra's Halls" one of Moore's favorite
melodies was next sung by Madame Bishop,
and we must say it was decidedly the hit
Of the evening. Every Celtic heart beat
high with pride, at hearing the words of their
favorite melodist poured forth in such soul
enhancing strains, and with hands and
voices, returned their clamorous approba-
ton. In fact, the applause was general.
In no piece did Herr Mengis appear so
we'll as in the much admired military song of
'Kataplan, the chorus of which, given in a
good Dutch style, created much laughter.
The first part concluded with the French
Chansonnette-"Je suis la Bayadere," by
Madame Bishop, who retired amidst loud
applause.
After an intermission of ten minutes,
the entertainment opened with the cele-
brated duett Bufo, "Quant 'amore," from
PElsior d'amore, in which Madame Bishop
appeared as Adina, and Herr Mengis as
Dulcamara. The argument was we'll sus-
tanned throughout, causing much laughter
amongst the audience. NJ. Bochsa's fan
tastic sketch of National melodies were
well received The entertainment con-
cluded with that quaint Mexican CANTON,
LA Pasadita," which was sung in the
Mexican language by Madame Bishop who
appeared in the National costume of
Muchacha.
The citizens of Nevada have rendered
Madame Anna Bishop complimentary
benefit, which has been most graciously
accepted, as may be seen by referring to
another column j&

TRusTEgs.

The relative sizes of the towns of Nevada
and Grass Valley may be seen by comparing
the votes cast on the same day in the two
places.
The whole number of votes given IN Grass
Valley was les, while in Nevada were polled
500, and yet our neighbor claims TO be rival
and aspires to the position of county seat.
Your ambition is laudable neighbor, but i
you indulge the idea that Graos Valley is the
locale par excellence for the county seat, VT
think you take one sided view of the case
altogether.

"DiVisi0n of the Sfate."


The Democrat, in its last issue contains
an article with the above caption, in which
some remarks are made, not strictly cor
rect, about the Hon. D. F Douglas and
his connection with, what the Democrat
terms, a scheme to divide the State.
Mr. Douglas is characterized as Gone of
the most ultra Southern men in the State"
An acquaintance with the gentleman whose
name is thus used ad hbitum would thor,
oughly divest our cotemporary of all such
notions Gen. Douglas is not one of the
straight laced, sectional men he is repre-
sented to be, but has kind and large
heart, and is governed by the noblest i'm
pulses. As man we consider him more
than liberal in comparison with a major
ity of those from the same portion of the
Union.
That Gen. Douglas was in any way
connected with the abortive attempt to
form a new party to be called the Pacific
American Party" is wholly untrue. On
the contrary We know he was one of the
strongest opponents of the measure, and
rldlculed it on every occasion We deny
that the men engaged in that scheme were
"mostly Wings" as our cotcmporary
states. The ring leader in that puerilc
affair, and some of the principal abcttors
were Democrats, and if we know where to
place the Editors of the Democrat, they
were Democrats Of the same school with
themselves.
The gentlemen whose names are ap-
pended to the address quoted in the ar
ticle to which we allude, are men of too
much honesty and integrity to be engaged
in scheme to introduce slavery into the
southern portion of this State, when such
an intent is expressly disclaimed in the
address. They are gentlemen of high
moral purpose, and would in no wise be
guilty of resorting to subterfuge to gain
so unrighteous an end.
The bill which was introduced by
Gen. Douglas in the Assembly, was not
presented with any hope or wish, on the
part of its author that it might pass The
sole object was to awaken attention to
subject which some time hereafter will be
an important one in the history of the
State. The object of the author of the
bill has been fully accomplished in distribu-
ting the address on the Division of the
State among the people. The warmest
advocates Of division do not indulge the
remotest hope, or even desire to see a
separation in our territory in less than six
years, while nearly all believe it imprac-
ticable to be accomplished in ten. SO far
as the sentiments of the Democrat on
the present impracticability Of division
are expressed we can assure our cotem-
porary, they are essentially the same as
those Of the fathers Of the address
That the State of California must from
necessity be divided some time in the fu-
ture, few men of intelligence will be found
to deny; that the time is not yet ripe all
agree.
