CARD FROM ]. R. WATSON.
To the Republican rioters Of Sacramento, ard
Of the Third Ward particularly:
Having been informed that certain polit-
ical manipulators IN the Third Ward have
declared that neither Mr.. Ben WEIGH,
J. r. Watson, nor any Republicans in the
employ of the railroad company at Sacra-
mento, shall be permitted q chance to b,
chosen as delegates to the convention for the
nomination of candidates for city officers at
the coming election, and observing that man
ipulators have so arranged the test at the
primary election as to allow all to vote
thereat who will agree to support the nomi
nees, thus insuring the votes of every Demo-
crat friendly to one particular candidate, and
thereby multiplying any genuine expression of
Republican choice, [ wish to notify the said
parties that neither myself nor any of the
Republicans ostracized would, under such
circumstances, consent to go into conven-
ton where our votes have already been dis
posed of, and our free action previously stul-
titled, SO that they need net exert themselves
to keep us out and | warn my fellow-Re-
publicans that by going into the so-called Re-
publican Convention of next Saturday, they
merely become the tools of matured scheme
to give the Irish Democracy the control of
the Republican primaries. Therefore [ say
| to all good Republicans who desire freedom
of thought of speech and action, who love
their country and wish to maintain its integ-
rity, do not go into such a convention as the
one mentioned is intended to be, or vote at
the primary. j. r. WATSON.

METROPOLITAN THEATER. - The Emelie
Melville Opera Troupe surprised its audience
last evening. "The Chimes of Normandy"
presented the company to so much better ad-
vantage than the previous opera, that the
strongest comparison would hardly do the
facts justice. The opera brought out Miss
Post prominently, and she achieved success.
Miss Melville, as Germaine, was especially
successful, singing with great sweetness and
feeling. Mr.. Casselli was heard also for the
first time. Mr.. Freeman, as the Miser,
was excellent in voice and action, his per-
sonation being one of great dramatic force. All
the leading singers were favored with en-
cores, and Mr.. Freeman was called before the
curtain and warmly applauded. The chorus,
too, was the recipient of the favor of the
auditors. The opera is a charming one, and,
from the opening to the close, is brimful Of
beautiful passages. New announcements
season, and seat engagements can be changed
accordingly. Miss Grace Plaistead joins the
company tomorrow. Tonight the opera Of
the Pirates of Penzance.n
