Theatre.

The inclement weather was the occasion
Of many empty seats at the theatre last
night that we could have hoped to see filled
had it not rained. A press of other matter
in to-day's paper precludes our indulgence
in as long an article as we might desire on
the super-excellent performance by Mr..
Fleming, of the character Of Richelieu For
the want Of space to say more, suffice it t.
state that as the great Cardinal, so much
the embodiment of stern innexible will and
mental power, keen perception, and quaint
sly vein of humor withall, Mr.. Fleming was
at least, our beau ideGi of the odd Fox
and we are confident we but reyerberate the
opinion Of all present in saying 80. As might
have been expected, the fair Julie was most
excellently rendered by Miss Potter, and
Mr.. Brown merited and obtained n good
share of applause as De Maupras, as did Mr.
Mitchell in the character of Joseph. The
piece concluded with the Family Jars, Dunn
phrics admirably sustaining the part of Dig
CORY. The plays for tonight are Macbeth
and Young Widow In this connection VIC
would state that we are authorized to an
nonnce Saturday night as the occasion for
Mr.. Fleming's benefit and we hope our cit
will show their appreciation Of good acting
by filling the house. A play worthy the oc'
cesion will be presented.

A Registry Law.

The Governor in his message, has recon-
mended many measures for the considera-
ticn Of the present Legislature, and among
others suggests the passage OF an act TO pro-
vide for the registration of voters In the
towns and cities of the State. As former
article in the Record set forth, we are strong
ly opposed to the enactment Of such law.
In the first place we are against it because
we believe it to be unconstitutional .for the
constitution Of this State guarantees the
right of suffrage to every white male citizen
Independent of any such consideration as Is
provided by this law and secondly we be-
leve such an act would be an injustice to
the people, is unnecessary, and contrary to
the desires of the majority of our voters
We maintain that registry law is as much
in violation of republican principles, as the
odious stamp act and liable to be made
much more oppressive; and its workings
elsewhere should be warning to our legis-
lators of the evils it would be more than
likely to create. Above all States in the
Union, California is the most antitted for n
law of this kind. Even among the settled
inhabitants of the Atlantic States where it
has been tried, it has proved 50 positively
unjust that it has been almost universally
repealed, and now exists in but one or two
localities; and the last bloody election in
New Orleans showed its workings most ad-
mirably. Wherever it has been submitted
to the vote of the people, it has been con-
demned, as it would be here. We have too
much faith in the honesty and wisdom of the
citizens of California to believe a registry
law TO he at all needed.

Topics Of the Dav.

cnt Legislature will adopt some I'M
portant measures of economy in our
State affairs. A bill has been intro
duced which contemplates reducing
the expenses of the State govern
ment nearly fifty per cent. The de-
termination manifested by the pres
cnt legislature, to reduce the expen-
ses Of our government so as to
bring them down to the income of the
State, will undoubtedly secure the
passage of the bill. This is an i'm
rortant measure of reform, and we
trust will receive the attentive and
impartial consideration Of the patri-
otic and intelligent body of men now
assembled at Sacramento, to legis-
late for and protect the interests Of
tie State.
Another important step which we
hope to see taken by the present
Legislature, which however concerns
Butte county alone, is that of chang
ing our present system of assess
mcnt by the adoption Of law crea
ting township Assessors. 1t is be-
l:cyed that, under the present ar
rangcment, no inconsiderable amount
Of property is left unasesssed, by the
County Assessor, who visits portions
Of the county but once in each year.
This must necessarily be the case for
TIE Assessor is wholly unacquainted
with the business Of many of the
townships, and in the valley portions
Of the county, large herds of stock
may avoid being assessed altogether
by changing from one county to an
other. This change need not in
crosse the expense of assessing the
county, as it is but division of the
labor and remuneration of the county
Assessor among those of the different
townships. 1t is believed that such
change would be of great advantage
to the county, and we desire to see
the change effected.
1t would also give much better
satisfaction to the people of the
county at large, if the business
Of Tax Collector was separated from
that of Sheriff. This has been done
in many of the counties, and why
should it not be done in Butte? The
labor now performed by the Sheriff
Of Butte county, requires that officer
to appoint and keep in employ a
large number of Deputies, and GER
tainly it is more democratic for the
people to elect their servants, than
have them appointed by the Sheriff.
The more directly the public servant
is held responsible to the people the
better. We have no fault to find
with the business arrangements of
the present Sheriff, but believe that
it would be beneficial, and certainly
more democratic to divide the busi-
ness now performed by that officer.
If it is democratic to elect the Sheriff,
it Is also democratic to elect a tax
collector, and a collector of Foreign
Miners tax also.
The business now centered upon
the County Clerk, renders it neces-
sary for that officer TO have one or
more deputies in his employ. The
business appertaining to the office of
Clerk, might properly be divided and
given to Clerk and County Recor-
dor The same fees now Given IN

With all It's natural advantages, and
the start it is taking, we think it is

1t has the advantage of being in
the centre of the county, at the juno
ton of the roads leading to the prin-
ciple points on the Missouri river from
the North and South Forks of the
Great Nemahariyer; it is on the South
side of the Muddy creek a most ex-
cellent mill stream, where there is
| plenty of timber; is within two miles
OF the Great Nemaha river; four miles
from Salem and six miles from Archer.
L learn that a coal bank has been dis
covered adjoining the townsite, and
stone may be had in abundance in the
vicinity. Abridge is soon to be erect
