TheatricnI.

During the past week our citizens were
highly entertained by the appearance for
three nights at the Georgetown Theater of
the celebrated Potter Troupe. The princi-
pal plays performed were of strictly NOR
al and instructive character The house
was "flled to overfowing" on every occa-
sion, by enthusiastic and captivated audi
ences, and all who attended expressed them
selves as being amply remunerated for the
small pittance bestowed, and only regretted
their short stay in our midst.
The chief attraction in this deservedIy
popular company is EsrELLE POTTER, than
whom, in our estimation, more superior
general actress graces not the boards of any
theater on this coast. She is star of daz-
zling brilhancy and an ornament to the pro-
fession, possessed of an extraordinary de-
gree Of highly cultivated talent, and in ev-
cry respect meritorious of the unlimited
praise heretofore bestowed upon her by the
press of this State. On the last night of
her appearance here, and as "Madelaine, :"
III the drama Of ''The Founding of Paris, +"
we thought her representation Of that char
acter unexceptionable, and in two or three
instances displaying almost superhuman an
guish and despair, and calculated when du-
ly appreciated, to move the most stoicaI
heart present to compassion. Of all the va
riouS characters assumed by this lady in the
different plays we have witnessed, that of
"Madelaine" is pre-eminent.
In addition to EsTELLE POTTER this COM
pany is composed of Mr.. J. H. Warwick
who by-the-by, is gentleman of superb
or attainments-a some ten or twelve
stock actors and actresses, the most promi-
nent of whom are Miss Deming and MesSrs.
Woodward, Pillet, White, and last though
not least, only in point of stature, is Dunn
phrieS. Taken all in all this company is
the most efficient in the mountains, and
well calculated to entertain in a creditable
manner all who may favor them with their
patronage. After short tour in the South
ern mines they again visit this place.
1t would perhaps be well enough to men
tion here, that quite number of those
present on Friday and Saturday evenings
behaved in very low and unbecoming
manner. We allude to those who stamped,
clapped their hands, laughed and made use
of vulgar epithets while the most pathetic
parts ofthe plays were being performed. 1t
was very much out of place, and we pre-
sumo was done through ignorance. How
ever, we would admonish those who did it
to cultivate in future q more civilized mode
of expressing their appreciation, and never
to be guilty of the like again. 1t was
source Of great annoyance to the audience
generally, as well as to those on the stage.

FLINTY.-'Gales,' correspondent of the
San Francisco Daily EUening Nescs, thus
describes the appearance of Senator Flint
the other day, during the debate upon Mr.
Lippincott's substitute of the Assembly
resolution to go into joint convention:
"Mr. Ferguson's denunciation of the DO,
litlcal traitor, was scathing. Wilson Flint
writhed and twisted in his seat, like a

SACRAMENrO. Jan. 25th. 1876


MEssRs. FDIToRs:-The proceedings Of
the Legislature during the past week have
been Of unusual interest. Your readers are
no doubt aware Of the nomination of Gov.
Foote for I. S. Senator. That gentleman
was evidently the choice of the majority Of
the county at the time Of his nomnato..
although, about Georgetown it is believed
he was not 50 popular as in the southern
and middle portion Of the county. Soft
was regarded by your member McCalIum
of the Senate and perhaps one or two ota,
ers from your county, members of th~ pres.
ent Legislature. Ii was impossible hogcy,
er, to nominate any other gentleman, wLos9
election would not have been more obiec-
tionable. So Gov. Foote was nominated,
receiving the almost united vote of he
county: even that Of Mr.. Oliver.
You are no doubt aware through ii, da
ly papers of the vote carrying the motion
to indefinitely postpone the Senatorial Con-
ventiOn; also the traitorous conduct of VII
son Flint Of San Francisco. Many Of your
readers will remember his speeches IN Fl
Dorado county, but he has gone over 70 the
enemy. Last week his words might have
been honored throughout the State. but
now there is "no man so poor as t. do him
reverence"
DIR. Fiske of your county has voted some
times with his party, and sometimes against
it. There is great indignation expressed
towards him from almost your entire dele
cation. The main reason given is this
He promised several of your delegation
that whenever his vote would carry the vote
in the Senate to go into Joint Convention
to elect Z. S. Senator. he would vote witt
his party. There was time and onlv one
time when his vote would have made tie
IN the Senate on that question, in which
case Lieut.. Gov. Anderson, who was in the
chair, would have given the casting vote
so as to carry the concurrent joint resolu-
tion, DR.. Fiske voted as before with tie
democrats, and the only hope seems about
lost to elect Z. S. Senator this winter.
In the last great contest Fiske voted against
his party as often as with it. This course
has caused him to be denounced by bis own
party, without having any apparent bops
with the democrats. He says however,
that he received many letters from his own
county endorsing his course.
You will see in the daily State Tribune
the debate which took place last Wedne9-
day on the Senatorial question! The gai-
lery and lobby were literally jammed with
spectators. The Assembly had adjourned
and its members filled the rear of the Sen
ate chamber inside the bar. Gwin, Brod-
erick, Baker, and many other prominent
politicians were in the city and present
The spectators seemed to be much excited
during the debate, and especially at any
language denunciatory Of the treason OF
Senator Flint.
"Fhe end is not yet" The views of the
newspaper press is referred too, and the pa
pers are expected to express the views Oh
the people in language unmiStakable. Lei
the people be heard on this subject.
Yours, A'

MINING lTEMs.-We have been able to
obtain very little mining news of interest
for week or two past, occasioned princi-
pally by the fact that large majority of
the claims now being worked in the canons
and gulches are of considerable depth, and
the miners have been improving the late
heavy rains in sluicing off the top dirt, pre-
paratory to washing the "pay grit"
>lBaP We learn that very rich pay was
again struck last week, in the celebrated
Klipstine & Keiser claims, on Mameluke
Hill. The dirt prospected from one to six
ounces to the pan, and is said to be equal
in average richness to any ever taken from
the claims.
= B9s@ Miners on Gamblers Gulch inform
US that they are making from three to six
dollars day to the hand
RSs% One company working near the
head of Rock Canon, have been making
five and six dollars day to the man, for
several months past.

The LEGIsLATURE.-Despite the excite
ment involved in the Senatorial question;
the Members of the Legislature appear not
to have lost sight Of the duty due their
constituents, but are working with hearty
good will to accomplish the business before
them in speedy and effectual manner, and
with view to 'retrenchment and REFORM
1t is a gratifying spectacle-exceedingly
refreshing in comparison with the do-noth-
ing, swindling character of former sessions.
Even our crusty neighbor of the Mountain
Democrat is forced to admit that "there ap-
pears to be a laudablc desire entertained by
the present Legislature to prevent any fur
ther pilfering from the State Treasury
The acknowledgment is doubly significant,
coming as it does from source which pro-
fesses to believe the American members a
pack OF fools, few of whom possess sense
enough to make q notion 1t is evident
that they are gifted with discernment suffi-
Gent to understand the wishes of the peo-
pie, and the requisite honesty of purpose to
fulfil the pledges of the party. That is all
that Is required-is more than can be said
truthfully ofthe members ofany Democratic
Legislature that ever convened in the State.
