PRESIDENTS OF THE UNION CLUBS.

USIoSSrArE CoNvBSTIoS.-The Gen.
trail Committee, on yesterday, met in Viz
ginia City, and fixed the date for the State
Convention, on the I'd Of October. The
Committee recommended the adoption OF
the following primary test: "Wll you be
q legal voter at the next general election :
Did you vote for the Lincoln Presidential
Electors in 1864, or for D. K. Ashley for
Member OF Congress in 1865: Will you
vote for the nominees of the Union State
CONVENTION, 10 be held at Carson, on the
I'd day of October, 1866, and for the NOM
inees of the County Convention TO be
held in your county this Fal?" or
course, the Union citizens Of each county,
through their proper Committee. will de-
termins the primary tests for their respect
i've LOCALITIES.
Ok A DRuSN.-We learn that Mrs.
Fairy, who was arrested some time ago
for being drunk and neglecting her chill
drer, and was convicted and sent to the
County Jail for six months, but through
the efforts of Sheriff Clark was released
and provided with a comfortable home
upon promising good behavior, has again
taken to drink; all her good promises
having gone to the winds, and her chill
dren actually going hungry for the want
of something to eat. Although there are
plenty of provisions in the house, there is
no one 10 cook il. She will doubtless
again be taken in charge by the city au-
thorihes, and the children be properly
provided for Virginia Union.
WORKING THE CRoPPTSos.-Very few
people, not having visited Gold Hill
lately, are aware Of the extent TO which
the groupings Of the Comstock ledge in
Gold Hill proper are being worked.
Huge excavations are everywhere made,
and thousands Of tons Of ore, rich in gold
and silver, hauled to the mills for reduc-
ton. The entire body Of groupings along
by the Empire, Eclipse and Challenge
works are being thus removed.
BeoLz.-He has placed US under many
obligations BY frequen. favors from his
magazine and periodical depot. Specially
do we acknowledge receipt Of office sta
tionary this day. The paper, etc., is OF
superior quality, and we cen assure our
readers that the like can be bought at
Bnsle's atvery reasonable prices. In the
P~ost-ofice building. Virginia City.
TREASURER RHoDEs.-State Treasurer
Rhodes has arrived in San Francisco from
New York. No report, as yet, as to his
success or failure in negotiating a six
hundred thousand dollar greenback loan
for the State. Rhodes will be up here
next week.
AP~roRrrosxxSr OF DELEoArEs.-Ihe

Union State Convention remains un-
changed from last year-thirsy'siH rom
Storey.

MORMON UoL1Ssss.-Y,

IMPoRrEp MORMON UGLISBss.-Yes-
terday arrived, per the Hannibal and ST.
Joseph Railroad, a fresh lot of the deluded
people of England, Wales and Germany,
who will go to Utah and swell the hosts
Of Brigham. In the afternoon we were
present on the levee, when these Mormons
embarked on the Denver for the trip to
Wyoming, Nebraska, from which point
they will go overland to Salt Lake City.
Without any exception, this last impor-
tation is comprised of the most ordinary
looking Of the human race. They were
un,idy, ugly, ungainly, and their gal: was
more like that Of beasts of burden than
people.
We wish Brigham much joy. and hope
he will have a happy time with the
numerous devotees to his cause. Go in.
Brigham. and be married even more
muchly than you are. II we can't have
better looking women we would prefer to
be married as we are, /. e., married only a
little bit.-St. Joseph Herald, July 25h.

RELIGIOUS TEsrs.-In the new Consti-
tuition of North Carolina, Section l Of ar
ticle V. reads:
mo person who shall deny the being
OF Almighty God. or the Divine authority
of both the Old and New Testamepts. or
who shall hold religious opinions incom-
patibie with the freedom and safety OF the
State, shall be capable Of holding any
Office or place Of trust or profit in any
civil Department Of the State"
North Carolina, until within q very
late year, had in her Constitution a clause
disqualifying inHdels, Roman Catholics
and Israelites from holding office. The
provision above quoted leaves to the
Judgment Of the Legislature to determine
wha, religious opinions may be incompa'-
ible with the freedom and safety Of the
State. is a step backward. 1t is going
back 10 the narrow views entertained a
hundred years ago. when an established
religion was considered an essential part
Of the Government.
