THEATRICAL The "Moors in SPAIN
which we noticed in our last would
come off on Thursday night of last
week, was the greatest triumph of the
season. 1t has been agreed, by gener-
III consent, to be the best thing, and
presented in the best style, of any play
performed by Mr.. Stark during his sue
cessful stay amongst Us. The mouse
was crowded, and all joined in praise of
the entertainment. Mr.. Stark was re-
peatedly called before the curtain, and
on the last occasion, at tAe conclusion
of the piece, returned thanks for the
favor bestowed upon him in a neat
little speech. A repetition OF this piece
would have met with equal success, but
their stay having been limited at the
start, they could not be induced to re-
produce it. But it is understood they
will return to Nevada again in about
two weeks for a short season, when we
hope the "Moers in SPAIN" will again
be presented.
On Friday night, Ingomar, and on
Saturday Macbeth, were performed
These were both brilliant efforts but
in Macbeth another signal triumph was
gained. AS Lady Macbeth, Mrs. Stark
did herself honors above her ordinary
merits; achieving a signal triumph.
On Monday night the comedy Of
Money" was played.
On Tuesday, Mr. and Mrs Stark re-
ceived complimentary benefit, at
which time "The Iron Chest" was
acted. A good house greeted them,
and the play went off in the best of
style. Besides the powerful persona
tons Of Mr.. and Mrs. Stark, in which
they never fall Messrs. Phelps. Horton
and Grifiiths won for themselves more
than ordinary applause. The charac-
ter Of Sir Edward Mortimer by Mr..
Stark, was brilliantly and wildly de-
lineated, all the conflicting passions, a
heart naturally overAowing with the
kindliest feelings towards all mankind,
a burning ambition for honors, and the
eternal remorse of conscience, ever
present to haunt his Imagination and
keep him in horrible agony = these
were all portrayed with a c}earness and
vividness approximating reality.
At the conclusion of the piece Mr..
Stark was called for, who made his APP
pearance and greeted the audience with
the following speech;
In obedience to your cali. + am here
to express in few wards, my thanks, and
to say farewell. Among tho seekers
after gold we have jouneyed far and
wide for seven years-but no where
have we found warmer friends, OF moi e
enthusiastic hearers, than ON the su my
slopes and golden gulches of the sub
lime Sierra Nevada. Ten years ago
what imagination so wild and vivid to
ooniure up the present scenes-to hear
the living words Of Shakespeare and
and his kindred poets, breathed forth,
however rudely, waking these mountain
echoes-and in SO splendid a temple
devoted to the Drama, as this in which
we are now assembled. l beg leave to
return my thanks for the fine reception
ard many favors extended to my wife
and self, among which this testimonial
is not the least; and to assure the pub
lie that our endeayor is to strire to please
that we may keep pace with their gen
erous goodness. Ladies and Gentlemen,
| now bid you farewell.

at frequently happens that professed
Democrats 'bolt the ticket which they
have had hand in making, and little
notice is taken Of the fact; but we hold
that such persons are unworthy the

of it the better"
Fair play and no gouging, neighbor
There happens to be two candidates fol-
State Treasurer in this county, who
have had the moral courage, honesty,
and independence to vote for a merito-
rious nominee not of their politics. Are
they whit the less to be honored bv
their party, because they conscientious
ly discharged a duty they owed them
selves as honorable men, and theil
country as good citizens!
Is it your game, Mr.. Democrat, to
slaughter sterling men Of the party, fol-
having once in their lives, broken from
party letters, to perform a high and ho-
ly obligation to their country - to vote
for candidate witA principles rather
than candidate ofprinciples! Let us
have far play. Nevada county must
be fairly represented in the Treasury.

Very respectfully.
PRO BONO PUBLICO

The CONVENTION SYsTEM.-The
Democrat in its last issue, attributes the
fault, that the best men are not always
selected in party conventions, to a lack
of interest taken in the primary meet
ings of the party, rather than to any
defect in the present Convention svs-
tenn, and yet the following. sage remarks
are made:
"Those that wish to vote merely for
the chest men >" without regard TO prin-
ciples, should keep themselves aloof
from party organizations, and take no
part in primary elections: thew will
then be free to cast their vote as they
please, and no one can complain of
them"
We take it, that majority of the
people are DESTROYS of nominating and
voting for the chest men," If thew do
not choose to be the slaves and tools of
party, they must, according to the phi
losophy Of our neighbor, keep awa v
from primary conventions and allow
the minority, wire puliers and dem a
gogues to rule. This slavish subser-
viency to party, this binding despotism
to Democratic usage, is the reason that
a lack of interest is felt by many 90 od
men in the primary elections. They
will not hamper themselves with oBli-
cations to support unworthy nominees
Cor Office. The high sounding exple-
tives which are bestowed upon party
loyalty, however, retains a large num-
her of well disposed men and patriots
in the traces they have worked in for
years, and moral courage, to make a
change in unison with the better iudg-
ment, perpetuates the reign of misrule.
Thus party triumphs against right or
reason.

corner, for bclfry, is contemplated by
