NIGHT.

A visitor TO u section of the country,
from New York, recently remarked to US:
"Your people are the ~best-nasured folks
when excited by political competitions that
l ever saw. Everybody is talking poll
tics everybody is apparently taking deep
interest in nominations, Union and Demo-
cratic, and yet I can't find a man whose
speech indicates that he is mad about mat
tiers. We get hot.mad. in New York, in
political wal times" We did not attempt
10 account for what was noted as a Curl
Gus condition OF temper here, according to
our Gotham friends observation. We
did suggest that the flush times excite
ments through which we had all passed
may have contributed to render all subse-
ouent kinds of excitement "easy" on our
peoples minds, or consciences, or, at least,
countenances. We did intimate that it
was possible that the peculiar experience
of Nevadans had gwen to them all a
remarkable control over their expressions
Of tongue and feature, so that they ex-
ceeded every other civilized people in
capacity to grin and bear it." or, (alas y
smile and thrust: o, we did better than
this: we plainly contended that in politics,
the Union sentiment was rooted so deep
and had really such all-pervading force in
mems actions and resolutions, that here
the contentious of political brethren were
not as the bars of a castle. II there
is & Union man in the State needed, or
imposed upon US, "to tear a cat and make
all split" he is imported or suffered. Yes:
we are a complacent set Of fellows in Ne
vada, after all /: and even on this Saturday
night, we can sit down and think over
and plan for ordinary business purposes
Just as though next week was not to wit
ness two State Conventions and an un-
prophesiable amount Of political wire
working and candidate naming. What
soever sober, home duty bids US con-
slider, can as well and fully be taken under
advisement now as at any time last month
or, probably, in the Christmas month next
coming. y
Saturday night: it's the time for your
most candid reflections. During the COM
ing week there will be held a Convention
in Virginia City which should receive our
attendance and contributions. 1t is now
entitled to our regard and preparations.
The Orphans Fair.
The entire State is interested in foster
ing and supporting the noble Charity m
bodied in the institution known as the
Orphans Asylum of Virginia City. But
right here we are profoundly concerned in
its being adequately, literally sustained.
In this mining section of country, where
families are so often deprived Of their
main, natural support, it is peculiarly in
cumbent on the citizens to make yearly
donations, of first calculation, toward
the feeding, clothing and educating OF the
little children who are deprived of father
and mother, in these or adjoining commu-
mites. There can be no affectation OF
generous impulse in this direction. SOL
EMMY, upon the very hear. Of every man
and woman whose store of this worlds
goods has any surplus, the injunction falls.
No appeal comes and touches and moves
with such earnest and tender solicitation.
Only outside the duty to ones own house
hold, is the obligation we have named.
Of whatever faith in religion, the sum-
mons is personal; and rare are the in
stances in which this is not recognized.
and few will be the number who will not
respond as means permit.
