THEATRIcAL.--The actors who have come
hither are making decided hit with the lovers
of the drama A munifcent account Of full
benches attest the appreciation of discerning
public. The pieces which have been put upon
the boards during the past week are Of u novel
character with us, and have therefore proved
highly attractive to large portion of the pub
lie. The grand spectacle seems to be all the rage
just now and with little more time in the pre-
paratlon and rehearsal, with the handsome see
merry and capacious stage of our theater, might
be produced with degree of effect far greater.
The Corsican Brothers; the Rag Picker; the
Flying Dutchman, with several excellent farces
have made up the role of performances during
the past week. The beautiful Indian drama,
entitled "Nick of the Woods" is announced for
this evening. This piece representing a picture
Of western life as it was, more than half CEN
tury ago, is replete with stirring incident The
dramatis persona are no iictions, but veritable
heroes who aourished on the banks Of the Ohio
before the wave of civilization had broken over
the crest Of the Alleghanies, and who launched
their "broad horns" upon the Mississippi ere the
first steamboat had ploughcd the waters of the
Hudson. The popular after piece of "Sam
Slick the Clock maker" renders the bill OF the
evening one Of rare interest.

THE DISTRICT Court. has been industriously
engaged during the past two weeks in the work
of clearing the docket. Judge Searls is most
indefatigable officer, and makes steady and
summary work upon the bench. Since his ac-
cession to the Judgeship of the l4th District he
has perhaps worked more assiduously than any
judicial officer in the State and at the same time
to his credit he has given as great satisfaction.
By the time the term is closed which will be
several weeks yet, he will no doubt clear the
calendar of the cases current upon the docket,
and also of the complicated fossil remains of
former judicial ages

THE RECENT DEoIsIoN.-There are soma {.
connected with the decision rendered bv tba Sss ~
preme Court on Monday last by which y cu'
whole indebtedness of the State, exclnsiran ne
$500, 900, is virtually declared illegal ws,'g1
should not be lost sight Of. Ia the first usoaa oSa
disposition is manifested by portion of ~
press to blame somebody or something. bec.n".eS
the decision was not rendered years ago hns !,
blame attaches anywhere, it is to the neo,,l
themselves. 1t was competent for any cis;1as
of the State to bring the. question before n.
Court of last resort, at any time during the ,aa.
five years. 1t could have been-done in the,rs.s'
of the smallest appropriation ordered by ri.
Legislature, to meet which, there was no fasS
in the treasury. Ip the next place it is charcoS
that the Supreme Court has been singulaplS
tardy in rendering the decision, and that by q,
dinary diligence the matter could have hen,
disposed of long ago. On this subject We would
state, that by an inspection ofthe records il will
be found that the case was filed on the 18th Of
July At that time Judge Terry was in The
hands of the Vigilance Committee, and Judge
! Heydenfelt was absent. from the State and
therefore the business Of the Supreme Court
could not be proceeded with. The case was ar.
gued in the October term,- and was decided IN
its regular order. 1t will thus be seen thai
there is no foundation whatever for the insinu
ations INDUCED in by some of the newspaper,

These acts show the rise of the State debt. In
te aggregate they amount to the sum of 49,
100000 In referenceto the parties now holding
the bonds authorized to be Issued under these
several acts, there is probably not over $780,
600 held in this State. 1t is estimated that the
remainder of the fundable bonds is distributed
about equally between the Atlantic States and
Europe. California bonds it is known have
been used extensively in the State of Indiana as
a basis for the banking business. Our late Con-
troller Winslow 7. Pierce is President Of an In
diana bank and he has probably been instru-
mental in getting from Sl5O,OOO to 5000. 900 of
our bonds introduced into the banks of that
State. In Wisconsin, also, q large amount Of
California bonds are held by the banks. In
Pennsylvania there are probably at least $780,
600 of Cal. bonds Gov. VIM. Bigler is large
holder having invested for their benefit large
portion of an estate inherited by his children.
OF course New York capitalists are holders OF
much the greater portion of what are held in
the Atlantic States. 1t is not known what
amount is held in England. About $500OOO OF
the bonds have found their way into Germany
through the instrumentality of Aug. Belmont,
American Charge at the Hague. The present
holders of these bonds are doubtless purchasers
in good faith and entitled to every proper con-
sideration. ea gts an3 tah
AS to the course to be pursued In order to
provide for this debt honorably to ourselves
there is it seems but one course, and that is to
present the question directly to the people of
the State. Should the next legislature pass an
act consolidating the several acts heretofore
passed and authorizing the funding of thewhole
debt aud submit it as matter of justice to the
good sense of the citizens of California we can
not doubt but that ii will meet their full assent.
If this plan however should after examination
prove TO be inconsistent with the constitution,
then let that itself be so modified that while it
shall provide against any further accreton of
State indebtedness will insure the extinguish-
ment of the present, and preserve our good
name abroad. 80 '0fI .a
