CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE FOR
PRESIDENT.

From the manner in which the Con
sentative papers are eulogzing the char
nctor and services Of Jefferson Davis, it
would not greatly surprise US if they
nominated him for their next President,
The Chicago Times, in a recent article,
terms him "the most colossal character
in the history Of his time" The La
cross Democrut (Brick Pomeroy's pa,
per goes into maudln rhapsody over
his release, and winds up by calling him
"tho greatest and bravest man in Amer
lea" These are rather strong express
sons for newspapers protesting loyal
sentiments. JetI,pson Davis for Presi
dent and Yalandigham for Vice Prtsi
dent would make a very good Demo
cratic ticket. To be sure, the nntece
dents of Davis would open up quite
interesting disclosures for political dis
cusslon, but we suppose the Conserva.
tives would get over all that in their
usual argumentalive style. When the
Chicago Times calls Davis "the most
colossal character in the history of his
time" he not only estimates him higher
than Abraham Lincoln, but places him
far above all Tho Union statesmen aud
military heroes Of the loyal government.
We think it the embodiment OF ncon.
sistency when Democratic papers indulge
in such eulogios of the greatest traitor
that lives. and at the same time assume
10 themselves the high prerogatiyes of
LOYALTY.

The following is from the Richmond

A contract for the completion of the

lion unanimously adopted by the meet
ing OF stockholders of the Virginia aud
Yves! Virginia Commissioners of the

only signed by one oil the three present
from West Virginia. The Virginia
Commissioners aud Colonel Mcpherson
of West Virginia signed it, as also did
Col. Fontaiue on behalf of the Central
Railroad Company.
Messrs. Ramsde!l and Cunningham,
ofWest Virginia stated that they had
received an invitation from the West
Virginia Central Railroad Company to
be present at a meeting in Wheeling on
the Sd of June; that this invitation was
received prior to tho notice of the meet
ing OF the Virginia Central Railroad
Company in this city; and that they
supposed the subject Of the deliberations
in Wheeling would DO the COviogton &
Ohio Railroad, and possibly some prop,
osition for relieving the enterprise of
any complications that may grow out Of
the Charteriug OF that company TO build
road on q part Of the line Of the Gov
ingtou and Ohio Railroad, they deemed
it proper, as an act Of courtesy as well
us prudence, TO attend the Wheeling
meeting before signing the contract. -
They expressed their approval OF it, and
had litle or no doubt that they would
sign it Immediately after the meeting in
Wheeling. Both gentlemen earnestly
urged that the Virginia Commissioners
and the Central Company should be
represented in this meeting, Major
Poxton, agent Of the company will be
present; but we fear none of the Virginia
Commissioners will DO able 10 attend.

THE RIvER.-The ice in the river below
this city is still apparently firm, though it
must, of course, be soft. The Washington
Star of yesterday evening says: There is not
tbe slightest indication of an opening for the
carving off of the broken ice with which the
river is gorged, and the only hope now is for a
heavy rain in the mountains to swell the river,
and give force to the current sufficient to sweep
the ice away. Such rain would be regarded
as blessing, although the damage to our
wharves and to shipping might b.: greatly IN
creased. The water having subsidized, it is APP
parent that not wooden wharf on the river
front has escaped injury. The aqueduct foot
way, now the principal way of communication
with the Virginia shore, was again .hronged
with pedestrians TO day, and at the Virginia
end the collection Of Vehicles and passengers
presents something of the, appearance of that
locality when occupied by the Federal army.
