ENrHusIAsM uNpEMINIsHEp.


The city was in a blaze of enthusi.
asm for the third time last night
and there was an increase rather
than an abatement of the phrenzy ol
enthusiasm witnessed on the occa-
sion of the great torchlight process
sion the night before.
There were speeches from the
balcony of every hotel and in every
public hall, the audiences at each oil
which were immense, and yet the
throng in the streets far away from
these attractions was such as has
never before been witnessed here.
AN oRAToRIcAL MASTERPIECE.
The best thing in the oratorical
line was an address at the City Hall,
by Jas. Z Murdoch, on the political
issue 1t was a grand production,
decidedly the best composition of its
distinguished author. More time
was consumed by the sudience in
Interruptions of applause than by the
delivery of the speech itself. Mr..
Murdoch will deliver it in Cincinnati
before the election if an opportunity
is afforded him to do so.
Very short speeches were also
made last night by General Schenck
and Garfield.

AN oRAToRIcAL MASTERPIECE
A GRAND DEMONSTRATION.

The meeting was held on the com.
mons in Allegheny City. The turn
out was general, and the demonstra-
tion the most imposing ever held
west of the Alleghanies. Most OF
the business houses were closed and
the large foundries suspended eper-
ations for the occasion.
Besides this, every railroad lead
ing to the city ran extra trains, and
the result was that there were a hun
dred thousand people out if there
were a single man.
Only very small fraction of those
who wanted to 60 to the meeting
could get within a quarter of a mile
OF where it was held. Several stands
were erected for speakers.

SEATING THE DELEGATIONS.

When the attempt to seat the dele.
gates was being made, it was found
that many States had men enough to
fill the hall. Pennsylvania alone,
could have filled it'twice over, there
being 300 delegates from one county.
Ohio had 400 duly accredited dele
gates in the city, to say nothing of
bummers and lockers on. 1t requir
ed q good deal of persuasion for
Gen. Cox to get any thing like order
out of the assembly, but he did sue
ceed finally, in getting about 5000
into their seats. The aisles were
densley packed by a few hundred
others.
PLATFORM COMMITTEE NOT READY.
The first business properly before
the Convention was the report of the
Committee on Resolutions, appoint
ed yesterday; but it was very well
known at 10 o'clock that no report
had yet been agreed upon, and many
fears of discord were entertained
and ex pressed.

BANKS AGAINST BUTLgR.

Gen. Banks spoke from the main
one, and after he had got fairly
started, Butler came along and found
himself obliged to run a side show.
1t was evident he didn't like this
He spoke scarcely hundred words,
merely remarking that he thought The
people of this region were all right,
and didn't need to be talked to, and
then retired gracefully. much to the
disappointment of his auditors, who
shouted themselves hoarse in a vain
effort to secure his reappearance.
OTHER SPEECHES.
Gen. Sigel and Gov. Curtin spoke,
and half dozen lesser lights.
The Convention, and Its accompa-
nying demonstration, will be long
remembered by every one who wit
messed or participated in them.

Visions OF the FuruRR.-Peralto, in
the Waverly, says: "In all our journey
ings through life, the past, like a dream,
comes before US, filling our hearts with
emotions. which words fail to express ;
verify. we seem to live in the past, but
look to the future" In a community like
ours, judging from expressions Of those
surrounding one, how little is the past
thought OF. in comparison with the many
thoughts regarding the future! Visions
Of a comfortable home, with joyful sur
roundings, are easily conjured up, in con-
trast tn the temporary abodes which we
build to keep the toughest Of the storm
out. These shelters we call our homes /;
but what is there about them to entitle
them TO that endearing name? The home,
sweet home. is Of the past, and all our en-
ergies are bent to realize the vision Of the
one we wish to secure for the future.
While yet an air castle, nodded after that
Of the happy past, it will finally take form,
if we do not slacken in the pursuit.
Though vain are the hopes Of many. all
will indulge in the luxury Of picturing a
bright future ; none are so respondent but
what q lingering ray Of hope looks forth
TO a lifting OF the cloud ; the eye Is fasten-
ed on the silver lining the pasta
dream for guidance, aud the struggle be-
gins anew, undaunted. How many have
come to the Far West with the firm belief
OF returning, after one or two years So

An CSsUccgssFUL ATTEMPT TO COLLAR
4 LADr.-At a select party, given in Car
son City, a few evenings since, two ladies
who had not been invited to the enter
tainment happened TO call at the house OF
dancing and feasting. The hostess, Of
course, invited the chance visitors to stay
for the evening; but the invitation was
equally Of course-declined. But a do
mes,icated guest. from Virginia City-one
OF the Assembly attaches-was determined
tina, one of the stray parties should stop
and have q dance with him. He begged
the ladies to lay off their cloaks; to which
one finally agreed. but the other remained
s,eadfast in her determination not to dof
her outdoor "ixings." Whereas, the
Virginia City gallant, referred to, i'm
agining that he correctly and Sagaciously
OWNED the reason why he was refused
his hospi,able request, exclaimed to the
obdura,e madam: Why. you can get
a plain, clean. white collar OF the lady OF
the house, I have no doubt This offer
was soon circulated; and the party, for
the balance of the evening, was an ex-
eeedingly merry one. The obliging at
tache is now regularly hailed BY his
associates, with inquiries as to whether he
has a plain, clean, white collar. which he
could loan for a few moments: Others
salute him: "Oh! you brute; try to
collar a lady in a dra~wing-room !" There
are drawings of this young man preced.
ing the coffee and tea walters with an
open box OF collars; and saying to each
lady guest: Don't hesitate to take one.
Miss (or, Madam as yours may ge, soil
ed before the dances are over" The
young man, always fascinating, has in
creased immensely in popularity, since the
occurrence described. 4 new style Of

A QrEsrIoS PRIvILEGE.-In the AS
scmbly, on Saturday. Mr.. Julien. of Hum
bold,, on a question OF privilege, and by
consent, had leave to have it entered on
the Journal that he voted nay on the final
passage Of the Senate amendment to the
concurrent resolution. relative TO the trial
Of Jeff. Davis !; not that he did not heart
lily concur in the sentiments of the resolu-
ton, bu, that he thought the Assembly
resolutions the best. Mr.. Linn, also Of
Humboldt, who voted similarly to Mr..
Julien. expressed himself as having been
actuated in his vote by a motive similar to
Mr.. Julien. As we took occasion on
Saturday las. to publish the names Of these
two gentlemen as being opposed to the
resolutions demanding the punishment of
the traitor JEFF. Davis, and as our article
might leave the impression on the public
mind that they were doubtful Union men,
we publish their explanation with pleas
ure. 1t should have been made at the
time of voting. AS it is. it cannot but be
satisfactory TO the Union party.

EXEMPT THEN.-On Saturday, Senator
rri,le introduced a Bill. amendatory to
the Incorporation Act of Gold Hill, pro-
viding for the exemption Of the proceeds
of the mines from taxation for corporate
purposes. We presume the people here
have no objection to its becoming a law.
A taxing law of that kind has been on the
statute book for a year past, bu; there has
no been a dollar derived from that source
the owners OF the mines contesting its
legality-and as the corporation is doing
very well without that income. and as all
u people are willing to do anything to
foster and encourage our mining interests,
Mr.. Tri,le might as well have his Bill
passed.

WITH A H-x.-Mr. Hayden, Of Lam
der IAN Englishman). having repeatedly
insulted the members Of the Assembly, of
which he is = member, by his coarse and
~unmannerly speech. has recently turned
his attention to criticising the Senate's
action, and d~enouncing the News. That
our readers may understand what kind Of
a creature this Hayden is, we quote from
a report of the proceedings in the Assem-
bly,:
On the 10th inst. Williams, OF Lander,
introduced q resolution to rescind the
resolution ordering the Sergeant.at-Arms
to draw warrants for $50 for each men,
Der on the Contingent Fund Of the As
sembly, and spoke in favor Of it, giving as
his reason that it was unconstitutional
Mr.. Hayden said he entertained the
same opinion Of the unconstitutionality Of
the resolution now as then, but that he
had as " lief preach to a set of Pi-utes on
political economy as to argue constitu-
tional law to the House."
Mr.. Gutter and others spoke in oppose
ton.
On motion of Mr.. Munckton, the reso-
luton was laid on the table.
On the following day, Mr.. James rose
and said he desired to have, in accordance
with usual parliamentary custom. the
Clerk take down certain objectional words
and enter them on the Journal, uttered by
the gentleman from Lander, Mr.. Hayden,
in the ours Of his remarks yesterday on
the resolution offered by Mr.. Williams,
his colleague, relative to the $50 orders
for stationery.
The words agreed upon by the House.
as the language used by the gentleman, is
as follows, viz: ~ had rather preach
political economy to a parcel of Piutes
than try to argue questions of Consti,u-
tional law to the members Of this House."
II the Assembly can endure the filthy
insolence of this Cockney upstart, il,
would be in violation Of American Gus
toms and tastes for US to make farther
allusion to the abuse he has commenced
showering upon the News.

Last fall we expended a great deal OF
labor in ascer,aining exactly the amount
Of Virginia City and Storey county IN
d~eb,edness. The tabular publications we
made from u Investigations firstfurnished
the people of this locality with N true
idea of the condition of our public fnan-
cial affairs. Upon that basis Of knowledge,
connected with our observations Us to the
present conduct of city and county bust
meas, We declared that consolidation"
was no, an advisable plan for future local
government. Our assertion has now been
confirmed by the committees appointed
from Gold Hill and Virginia City. Even.
His Honor Mayor Jones expresses himself
convinced that consolidation" is not a
remedy or ~expedient in the premises; al
though an unfinished draught of such q
measure is among his once cherished Office
papers. Now, we feel that we have done
right TO come back to our ancient advice;
and insist that the s~alaring of county Off
GERS is the plan that should be ut once
adopted by our delegation, in Legislature
assembled. We understand, also, that
that capital public business man, Mayor
Jones, favors this proposition. Its adop-
ton, by proper legislation, will certainly
do more to relieve county creditors than
would the sale of a few old buildings,
os,ensibly for charitable purposes, and the
placing of the price of the same in a war
rant-redemption fund. We have hereto
fore shown how a suitable system of
county officer salarins will constitute the
main lever in reducing taxation TO q per
cent.
