CATHOLIC CHURcH FAIR.-The members of the
Catholic Church Committee, while announcing
their intention of giving Ball on the evening Of
"Wednesday, March goth, in aid of the fund for
the completion OF their new church, respectfully
beg leave TO assure the public, that by the adop-
tion of every means in their power, they intend
making this occasion very pleasant one for all
those who may honor il by their attendance.

SENAToRIAL.-The Douglas Democrats in the
State Legislature have at length agreed in eau
Gus, to vote for a joint convention of both branch
es OF the Legislature, to meet on the goth of
February, to elect L. S. Senator. They also
agree not to nominate Senator in caucus until
a resolution has passed the Senate and Assembly
appointing a day for meeting in joint convention.
We are glad of this, and only hope they will
stick to their bargain, for we have every faith
that notwithstanding the mournful predictions Of
the political tricksters, the Legislature will
speedily elect u. S. Senator, when once they
meet in joint ballot for that purpose. As to
whom Assemblyman Walter favored for Senator
we have not been able to determine from his
votes in the caucus sometimes he voted with
what was supposed to be the anti-Denver inter
est and again with the Denver men. Mr.. Walter,
previous to going to Sacramento, pledged his
word to several citizens that be would vote for
that man whom he believed was the choice of his
party constituents in Trinity. We believe he
will act in good faith 10 that promise.

HOn. H.B, Wright In Bloomsbury.

According to previous announcement,
the Hon H. B. Wright delivered speech
on rebellion, in sthe Court Houee, at this
place, on Tuesday afternoon last. The au-
dienoe was quite respectable, althosgh not
large enough to boast over. 1t beinga very
busy season of the year, is sufficient ex,
cuse now "a days for small audiences. MIR.
Wright's speech was a grand effort, the
most powerful speech we ever herd tall
from his lips. He was argumentive and
convincing throughout, commanding The
most silent attention of his hearers, who re-
peatediy applanded him with hearty good
will Hevconfined himself to his country,
aud his, as we'll as every other mans, duty
TO it. He was for his country, fright or
wrong" all the time, and siood in this ter
ri bic rebellion where all The leading DEM
ocrats of the day stand, such as Holt, Dick
inson, Butler, Nc Cielan, Johnson and Wool
These men are Democrats of the purest in
tegrily, and upright in thought and action;
the speaker was Democrat, had suppotted
Democratic men and principles, but al
present he knew no party the cause OF this
gr rea, and once prosperous country was, in
his mind as we'll as III the mind of every
true patriot, paramount TO all party consid
.eration. This wicked rebellion must aris
,riH be put down, and TO better and soone
