JOHN McCoY.-We we're sorry to part
with this full blooded American gentle
man, our energetic County Assessor, a
few days since, when on the eve of taking
his departure for the Atlantic States. Ru-
NOR has it that John has no idea of living
the life of a solitaire any longer. He has
found it extremely inconvenient to be
obliged to sew on button. or take stitch
or two when in hurry, and has resolved
not to be bothered in this manner for the
future. He will have to be particular to
get a better half. We hope to chronicle
his early return with health and the ne
cessary and desirable adjuncts to make
life blessing.

PREsENTATIoN.- A. SARGENT, EsQ
our able and energetic District Attorney,
was taken by surprise few days since by
having magnificent cane thrust in his
face, acc ompanied by very appropriate
speech from James Churchman, Esq. The
District Attorney, though taken aback,
responded happily. A few friends were
present to support him if his limbs and
the cane failed to do their Office, which
was very much feared at one time, and
thus he will find those friends ready to
lend their aid forever.
The cane is beautifully mounted with
a massive gold head, set with an extreme
ly rich specimen of quartz, cost $40,
and bears the following inscription

Orr FOR THE WASHES esterday noon
as the steamer Antelope was about leav-
ing for San Francisco, quite little ex :
citement was created aboard and around
her. She took down as passengers, some
hundred and twenty stout, able bodied
men, who it is said, intend emigrating to
Nicaragua to join Col. Walker. Among
the crowd were large number of old and
well known Sacramentans and it is ru-
mored that more will go to-day, whose
connection with the expedition will aston
ish many, when their names are reported
Ofthe crowd that departed yesterday, we
can only say, that from our knowledge of
the people of Nicaragua, we think it will
require, at least, one thousand Natives to
match one hundred Californians. They
were men of frmness, courage, and deter
mination, and will be just such persons as
Col. Walker requires to conquer that
country.
Upon the boat leaving the wharf, re-
peated cheers were given by large crowd
on shore, for Col. Walker, Capt. French,
and the Sacramento emigrants. We can
but wish them health and prosperity in
their enterprize for we regard It as one
perfectly legitimate in every respect

The STATE PR1sos Probable notb;ro

The STATE Prison. Probably nothing can
better illustrate the efficiency Of the present
management OF the State Prison, than the fact,
that since the control of that establishment was
assumed BY the State, only one prisoner has
succeeded in effecting his escape, and tele-
graph despatch received last night, CONVEYS
the intelligence of bis capture. The individu.
al in question is the celebrated "Cock-Eye Fu-
ry." We are informed that the wall in process
OF erection is rapidly progressing, and that the
Directors of the State Prison, elected at the
last election, will be received within a walled
enclosure, covering over six acres. 1t is cal
culated that the wall around the prison will be
completed in about seven months, and will
contain no less than twelve thousand ton Of
stone and two millions Of bricks IS. F. Herald

AMERICAN FRIENDS,
Nor11o

THEATRIcAL-MissE Estelle Potter, a
favorite with Nevada audiences, and de-
servedly SO, is again holding forth at Fris-
bie's Theatre to crowded houses, and de-
lighting all with her fine personation Of
character.
The eulogiums showcred by the press
on the gifted young actress wherever she
goes, have q Fhausted the vocabulary OF
praise, and 10 combination of words ap-
plicable tethe subject, could we marshal
that would convey more truthfully and
pointedly than our cotemporaries have
done, the gen erous appreciation in which
the accomplished artistic is held by the
public.
La Petite Florence is worth her weight
in pearls-gold is too common term
The troupe is an excellent one, and the
lovers of the drama will be sure to be
gratified during its stay which, We under
stand, is of short duration
The Founding of Paris was acted last
evening with marked success. The COM
pany have an engagement at Downieville,
for which place they leave in few days.

Nevada Philharmonic Society.

There was small attendance on Tuesday
evening at Concert Hall to witness the first
performance of the society. There is an opin.
ion too much indulged in by the frequenters
of places of public amusement, that nothing is
valuable which is not far fetched, and which
does not come heralded with the flourish of
trumpets and drums and the laudations of a
press starving for printing. Whenever a
new actor is announced about to visit one OF
our cities or towns, the rival journals of the
place enter into competition with each other
iu the use of high sounding expletives in
praise Of the great expected. Their columns
TEEN with hifautin which to the initiated, is a
disgusting caricaturc of a common man, and
a still more common actor. Modest merit,
found in our midst, is little appreciated. The
small attendance on Tuesday evening is a
erdemain performed on the occasion, we have
nothing to offer. But that better instrument
tai music has never saluted the ears of Ne.
vada audience, we hazard nothing in saying.
The same pieces executed by the society, if
done with less artistic skill by Ole Bull, Hen
ri Hertz, or Otto Goldschmidt, would have
produced rapturous applause from house
crowded from pit to gallery. The prestige of
a name adds much to the value of services
performed. The most common act done, and
commonplace remark made, by one heralded
with flames obstreperous trump" are taken
for all they are worth aud considerably more.
The Philharmonic society has ever been
ready to give its services on any worthy occa-
sion, and in several instances has contributed
much to the enjoyment Of assemblages in this
city. But it wants name, like some humbugs,
to draw full house.
We advise the society to announce one of
their number as the cousin of Meyerbeer,
another the pupil and rival of Paginini,
another the first husband of Jenny Lind,
another Mozart resurrected, and so on and if
they do not succeed in covering themselves
with laurels, and filling their pockets with
dollars, we will acknowledge that all the expe-
rience we have derived from the auto biogra.
ply Of Barnum, is not applicable to a case in
which for the sake of encouraging talent we
would like to see it applied.
The Philharmonic Society will, without
availing itself of the above advice, give anoth-
er grand concert on Saturday the 18th inst,
at Concert Hall. We hope to see generous
attendance.

Registry Law.

1t there is one law which is more
loudly demanded than any other to pre-
We mt frauds at the ballot-box, it is law
to compel every voter to have his name
registered and his claim to the elective
franchise acknowledged by the proper au-
thorities. Especially is such a law i'm
peratively required in San Francisco and
other large towns of the State. But we
are much mistaken if the representative
recently elected to the Legislature from
San Francisco do not oppose any attempt
to enact law for the registration of vo-
tiers in the city and county they represent.
They are well enough satisfied with the
present order of things. Ballot box stuff
fng is the trade of the phalanx leaders in
the great emporium of the Pacific. They
have practiced year after year until they
have become adopts at the nefarious art.
Twice has John Bigler been sworn into
offico by tho Vaccinations of men who
haunt the purlieus of San Francisco, and
had not the sanguine temperament of Ed.
McGowen fooled him into the belief that
no more than two or three thousand lille
gal votes were necessary to inaugurate
his Corpulency the third time, no one can
imagine the majority that some of the
wards in San Francisco would have exhib-
tied for John Bigler. But Ed Mellow
an got fooled, so did his prototypes all
over the State. There was more strength
in the American Party and more virtue
IN the American name than Yankee Sulli-
van ct i'd onans genus counted on. They
were most egregiously deceived, and are
now hating themselves because, while they
were about it, they might just as easily
have put into tho ballot-boxes a few
double-hands full more of the erigular
dimmycratic taket," and secured the ad-
mlnistration of the State Government two
years longer. But the most amusing part
of phalanx tactics is the cry ofcorruption
raised against the American Party We
will have an opportunity to test the sin
cerity of phalanxism, and see whether the
imputation cast upon us is well founded.
II, at the next session of the Legislature,
the phalanx members lend their support
to Registry Law we will give their par
ty the credit of having more honesty than
it has been accused of having, and we will
begin to think our own party has perhaps
been guilty of some slight dereliction from
an honest course, or that our opponents
have undergone miraculous conversion !;
either of which hypothesis is utterly at
variance with anything having the SEM
blance of possibility.
We must have Registry Law. The
American Party is strong enough in the
two houses of the State Legislature to
pass it, and pass it the American Party
will. If the phalanxers turn in and show
their professions by their works to be not
professions merely, the devil shall have
his due-as he got it at the last election.
