But they are late with their outcries the

case which lately came to our knowledge
W II p has just enlisted in

half the white soldiers in our army. but in
reality has a mixture of African and Indian
blood and is the son of white man. This
white man, Samuel Rector BY name, living
at Culpepper Court House. ard member of
the church there, is both the father and
grandfather of F., who is the son of his
sister by his grandfather That is to say.
Mr.. Rector first committed adultery with one
of his slaves. then after a sufficient length of
time committed incest with his daughter by
his slave, and to crown the whole, when the
issue.o his second conjunction was in a rebel
prison at Richmond, be came forward and
testified against the young man to prevent
his being discharged with other prisoners.

Congressional DIrtrie. Convention.

The Solano Press says 1.-The Union State
Central Committee is the only proper author
ity to call Convention for this or any other
Congressional District From whom did
that body derive its authority? At the time
the present State Central Committee was
chosen, there we're no Congressional districts,
and all our Congressman were chosen from
the State at large. By law of last winter
the old state Of things have been changed,
and now Congressman will not be voted for
outside of their respective districts.
The question then arises. how shall the
District Conventions be called, so that they
may be regular according to party usage p
Who ever heard of State Central Commit
tee presuming to call District Conventions
for the nomination of State Senators or
District Judges?: These Conventions have
always been called by Conventions and Com
mittees Of the counties within the respective
districts: This matter is now localized, and
the people of the counties composing the Con-
gressional Districts have the sole power, if
they so choose, to call Convention. The
reason why. in former number, we suggest
ed to the State Central Committee to issue
call for Convention in the Third District,
was because we thought the object might be
attained in more speedy way than by cor
respondence with Central Committees in the
various counties of the district, and if they
called Convention at an early day, it would
be respected by every county in the district
The insinuation of the Press that the up
country folks want to have the Convention
held at Marysville, in order to favor the NOM
ination OF Captain Parks, is as unjust ss it is
untrue. For ourself, we have no particular
person in view for that honorable position.
The present incumbent, Hon. Thos. B. Shan
non, will suit us as well as any other, al
though we have no fault to find with any of
the gentlemen mentioned as candidates for
the position. We will cheerfully give our
support to any sober, upright, competent
man-one who possesses the power of com
pretending the new order of things created
by the war Give us such a man, and we
care not who he may be, nor from what
county he may come.
