Mr.. AND Mrs. Porter's

Mr. and Mrs. Waller, formerly esteemed
citizens of Nevada
"Mr Waller is a fine melodramatic
actor; has good stage presence de-
claims well; has evidently practiced
long in his vocation, and is an admirable
judge of stage effects. Mrs Waller is
extremely prepossessing in appearance.
if not beautiful, and is a thoroughly ac.
complished artistic; her delivery is clear
and distinct, her action graceful, her in
telligence and talent apparent, and her
method uncXceptionable. She only
lacks physique to render her fully com
petent to compare f,vorably with some
OF the most eminent heroines of the
drama. The house was we'll filled, and
the performance of Mr.. ard Mrs. Waller
elected much wcll-merited applause, aud
frequentlecalls. In a word or two, they
created a considerable sensation in a

DEPARTURES FOR FRAZIER RIVER
The Alta of the 18th says, the steamer
Commodore, Capt. Staples, sailed from
Pacific wharf yesterday forenoon for
Puget Sound, with aboot 500 passengers
on board, great majority Of whom were
in the steerage. The prices of passage
were $50 and S25. On the previous
passage, nearly one hundred stowaways
were found on board, and to prevent a
recurrence of which, Capt Staples ar
ranged that all passengers should have
their tickets before the steamer left the
wharf. The boat was black with peo-
pie, and there seems little or no abate-
ment in the excitement. The only point
which yet remains open is, as to which
may be considered the best route to the
new diggings.

Kansas and her New Constitution.

A great deal of studied effort has
been expended to disgrace the Consti-
tuition Of Kansas which emanated from
the Free State Convention that assem-
bled at Leavenworth some time last
month. The principal theme of misrep-
resentation is the clause defining the
qualification Of voters for and against
the instrument In fact, after reading
the Constitution we can scarcely con-
ceive of another point in it where seri-
Gus objection could be raised. We
quote the odious section:
PARTICLE II.-EL ECTIvE FRANCHISE.
SEC. l. In all elections not otherwise
provided for ty this Constitution, every
male citizen of the United States of the
age of 81 years or upward, who shall
have resided in the State six months
next preceding such election, and ten
days in the precinct in which he may
offer to vote, and every male person of
foreign birth Of the age of 21 years or
upward, and who shall have resided in
the United States one year, in this State
SIX months, and in the precinctin which
he may offer to vote ten days next pre-
ceding such election, and who shall have
declared his intention to become a citi-
zen of the United States, conformably
to the laws of the United States, ten
days preceding such election, shall be
deemed qualified elector."
From this the report is circulated that
negroes are allowed to vote on the adop-
ton or rejection of the Leavenworth
Constitution, and much ado IS made over
it. The men who clamor loudest against
it are ofthat stripe who go to bed laud-
ing the Dred Scott decision, and rise
every morning to swear anew eternal
fealty to its doctrines. Have these
gentlemen forgotten that under that de-
cision a negro is not "citizen of the
United States," and therefore not enti-
tied to vote for or against the Leaven-
worth Constitution by the very letter of
that instrument? These misrepresen-
tations can only deceive the ignorant,
and are designed to throw discredit upon
the organic law of the State of Kansas.
Every sensible man viii readily see a
distinction between Citizen" and '.inhab-
liant"

REFUSED TO PARDoN.--Gov. Weller
has refused to pardon Louis Goldberg,
convicted of manslaughter for killing
John Enders, and sentenced to two years
imprisonment in the State Prison. The
petition asking for pardon was respect
ably and numerously signed, but the
Governor is inexorable. If among the
large number that Gov. Weller has par
doned during his short administration
there are not some worse men than Louis
Goldberg, he has been fortunate in the
bestowal of his clemency.

Pacific Railroad.

The most important item to every true
Californian in the late news from the
Atlantic side, is the defeat of the Pacific
Railroad measure in the Senate. The
news does not surprise us in the least.
The result has been more than antici-
pated in this paper long months agone.
Another Presidential aspirant is to make
the great national work hobby on
which to ride into power, before Con-
gress will move in the direction of the
interests of California and the whole
Union. On the very day that Thomas
IL. Benton breathed his last, and the
great West lost its most powerful advo-
cate, the Pacific Railroad bill was most
appropriately throttled in the American
Senate.
1t is stated that the opposition to the
railroad based their arguments on the
expenses of the Utah war, having prov
en- too great draft on the Federal
Treasury to permit an outlay for the
great intcroceanic communication. A
wretched mistake of the Administration
is thus made the pretext of depriving a
people Of what is essential to their pros
perity. Because the Democracy have
elected an imbecile to the head of the
government, who has frittered away its
resources in the most shameless series
of mismanagements in the Utah expedi-
ton, we must suffer, and grin and bear
it till another aspirant comes up with in
Vulnerable promises in his mouth to de-
ceive us again.
The postponement of the question to
another Congress is looked upon as a
virtual abandonment of the railroad till
after another Presidential election. The
next session is regarded too short in
which to discuss the measure. The
great hue and cry about the Pacific Rail
road we have heard has amounted to
the result Of his Satanic Majcsty's efforts
in swine shearing.

Apart from the enormous expense it

til after a declaration of war by Con-
gress, to extend jurisdiction in any
shape beyond the territorial limits of the

Death of Col. Benton.

Since the decease of Webster, Clay and
Calhoun, no one of living American
statesmen has been more prominent in
the public eye for his force and individ-
uality than Thomas Hart Benton. For
thirty years he occupied one of the
proudest positions to which man was
ever raised-a seat in the Senate of the
United States. During that time he
made his mark upon the annals of his
country, not so much, it is true, by his
eloquence and intellect as through an
indomitable will, unparalleled self es-
TEEN which gave him audacity to at
tempt to cope with superiors, and most
remarkable assiduity and unrelenting
determination.
1t cannot be questioned that Benton
was patriot and labored hard for his
country. Yet he was frequently blind
ed by partisan and personal feelings.
His greatest triumphs in his own estima-
ton, were achieved while evidently un-
der the sway of other than the noblest
passions.
Since Mr.. Benton's retirement from
public life, he engaged in literary pur-
suits, and produced two large volumes,
familiar to the reading world, entitled
Thirty Years View" At the time of
his death he was laboring upon an
abridgment of the Debates of Congress.
He also produced a volume in opposition
to the Dred Scott decision.
As a literary production the "Thirty
Years View" may be said to be fail
ure. Had the ample material for such
a work been at the command Of such a
man as Everett, far more creditable
production would have adorned many
an American library. History is falsi-
fed and grammar set at defiance in the
view" 1t abounds in egotism of the
most disgusting character. Except
where tribute is paid to some departed
statesman thc two volumes are scarcely
worth reading. The work has, howcv-
er, met with an extensive sale, and will
be read many years hence, for the valu-
able facts therein contained, and because
the name of Benton is coupled with it.
Age may have mellowed the passions of
the man to such an extent that the ODE
bates" might be a more impartial pro-
duction than the "Niew," else we should
expect "Mr. Benton" to figure largely,
and the great men of the nation in a less
degree, throughout the work. Benton's
excessive egolism was such as to impei
him, in abridging the debates of Con-
gress during his time, to throw out as
much as possible of the doings of other
men, leaving copious notices of his own.
For this reason, faithful though his
abridgment may be, we would look upon
it with suspicion, and rather examine
another record. His works will, how
ever, answer a purpose. The biography
and character Of Benton can be read on
every page, penned by himself.
