JUDGMENTS.

VARIETIEs.-Those who inclined to theatrical
entertainments last evening found the Varieties
remarkably well attended, when considering toe
existing condition of affairs in the city. The
managers OF places of amusement are inevitably
sufferers by a disturbed state of public affairs,
especially when, as was the case with Manager
Floyd lsst evening, they bring out a new piece,
with lew costumes, new scenery, new every
thing. Boucicault's comedy OF Love and
Money" was never played here before, bat
thester goeTs had heard Of it, and hence, we
imagine, the comparatively large attendance. 1t
was but brief glimpse we were afforded of the
performance. We saw Miss Gray as a very
charming Helen Pl0Htdgenet, discussing some
mooted point very eagerly with quite foppish
looking gentleman named Sykes, Mr.. R4lton,)
and were beginning already TO watch for the
end with interest, when of a sudden there came
cheers and the "tramp, tramp, tramp" of
hur dreds Of feet outside, and away from our ad-
mi i & v sion went " Love and Money Bot the
piece will be repeated this evening, and will, we
trust, meet with an ample patronage.
ACADEMY OF MUsIC.-The prevalent excitement
produced its effect here also last night, render.
ing the attendance exceedingly slim. Still, the
performances went off with their usual eclat and
Jennie Ergel sang none the less sweety and Pet.
tiogill was none the less humorous than ever.
And the occasion was grsced, too, by the proddc-
ton of new ballet by the magnificent Zollossy
entitled the " Slave Market of Constantinople,'
in which the agile Sohke, with her companions,
Bertha, Cheribelli and Evers achieved terpsi.
chorean wonders. The ballet, and fine olio per.
Torrance. concluding with 90 The Irish Lion,n ia
which Cavanaugh does Tim Moore to perfection,
will be offered this evening.

AN ASSASSINATION BY NEGROES
An UiknOwn White Man The Victim

At the northern corner of Triton Walk AM
Dryades street, stands two-story frame building
surrounded by a broad gallery above, occupied
on the lower floor as a negro club room, AMI
above as a dwelling. The place has been lona
known as resort OF negroes, and it was at thi.
point that on Saturday midnight a oolored mar;
was seen loading musket in the street,
Last night shortly after ten O'Clock. as the I'M
nocents Democratic club were mar ching up Dryi
AIDES street, they passed this place. The head o.
their column had crossed .Delord stress and wa,

One account. given our reporter by an jcteIligeni
little miss who saw the affair, states that a negrd
stood in the middle of Triton Walk, and ieii5eri
atey fred into the fn1ocents twice. The Etst shot
che says was not returned at the second the Inl
nocenis returned the fire, and at the same tirnd
firing was begun fro2- tae gallery of the hoEse by
the negroes, Another account states that the
first firing came from the gallery. At all erectsi
the attack being made upon them, the Inn Dcents
stood bravely and returned the fire untilt ceased
and then resumed their march in good order. The
body Of en- unknown white man, apparently q
Spsniard, was found lying on the ground desdl
shot through the head, and with terrible cus
about the neck. II was lying on the grass upon
the neutral ground at midnight, but had not BEEN
identified
Meanwhile detachment of infentry arrived mi
haste and, guards having been posted, the premi-
ses were searched. This was matter Of no little
ficuty, the rear of the house opening upon o.
perfect labyrinth OF passages and alley ways, to
find his way out from which the officer who
entered was obliged to knock down the fence
boards ard take a straight course to the street.
Five or six negroes were arrested ia the building
all of them scared terribly, ana one concealed
under msttrass. When we left the spot, at half1
past eleven, the military guards were still posted,
and the search for the occupants was still going
on. Those arrested were kept in charge under
proper guard.

mines, says: AS Nevada is to an Aztec province ;
as Uncle Sam is to a "Greaser" president; as the
United States are to the feebly governed and

stability, so will be the career OF Nevada IN the

1875 votes polled in this city. To-day the entire
