FOR DELEGATE TO CHICAGO.

We don't like to be considered Off.
cious nor as seeking to "forestall public
sentiment" but with reference to the
selection of delegate to the Chicago
Convention from this county we take
the liberty TO make one suggestion. We
think that the Uniouists of Carson will
be doing themselves and the local inter
ests of the place an act Of justice if they
take such steps as will secure the choice
of delegation to the State Convention
as will consider themselves instructed to
vote for Abraham Curry as a delegate to
the National Convention. The reasons
are various for this selection. First and
foremost, Curry is a sound, ardent
Unionst. Secondly, he is already at
the East. Thirdly, and most important
Of all, as local consideration, such an
endorsement of Mr.. Curry would be a
material assistance to him in his en-
deavors to get what he is after-an ad-
ditional appropriation of money for
the building of the Mint. The fact that
our delegates are to be elected, direct,
at the primaries, precludes their formal
so to act by a convention Of
the party; but concert Of action by
the active members OF the organization
would, doubtless, secure such d result
as we have suggested. We hope we
may not be accused of attempting to
pack the convention or "run the party"
for having ventured this much.

| TIE TRUTH FROM DEMOCRATIC LIPS
Axtell, Democratic Member of Congress:
| from California seems to have his eye:
more widely opened to the spirit of the
times than the majority of his party
He delivered speech in the House Of
Representatives on the 18th of January
in which he talked in the following sen
siole manner:
The whole North abolished slavery-won
it in a square stand-up fight. The Republican
party as such did not nor could not touch a
link of its shackles outside Of their district.
The negro was put up on this fight, and the
South lost him. He is legitimately our ne
gro. The whole North fought this war, not
the Republican party alone. And the faith
of the whole North, irrespective of party, is
pledged to guaranty to the negro his freedom
and to protect him in his natural and iEalien-
able rights, not because he fought in the war
on our side, for but comparatively few Of
them debut because the rights Of human
nature demanded it, and cur sons and broth
ers :" died to make them free Their !ibcr-
ty has been bought with an inestimable price,
and can never be subverted or taken from
thera either BY fraud or force. 1t is well for
all men North and South to understand this.
AS to those antediluvians who expect sue
cess OF seek ephemeral fame by building a
party upon the defects or deformities Of any
Of Gods creatures, let them also stand as
monuments of the good temper and patience
Of the people, who are also willing to tolerate
with compassionate smile the weakness of
4 man who dares to reason that because a |
negro is inferior he should therefore be op-
pressed.
The man who can talk that way: al
hough styling himself a Democrat is
lot a great way from the Truth.

! 4 WEDDING IN CoLoRED Hen LIFE
St. Viucent's Church, St. Louis, has shocked
the nerves of some sensitive people by being
the scene of a wedding in colored high life
as the Times has it. Ii says
The most splendid vestments belonging TO
the church were used, and the whole edihce
| wore the appearance of a grand festival.
Carpets were spread down the aisle Of the
church, and extended out on the sidewalk,
even to the curbstone. In the sanctuary SIX
clergymen were assembled, surrounded by
eighteen attendants, dressed in the most gor-
geoua manner. The rite was performed &C
cording to the ceremonial of the Catholic
Church, with all the splendor and impressive
ness Of its grand ceremonial
Rev. Father Burke. c. NJ, assisted by Rev.
Fathers Hennessey, c. NJ, and koop, c. NJ,
performed the service.
The bride was dressed in most exquisite
style and taste. She wore heavy satin dress,
with long train trimmed with point lace,
carried a bouquet of beautiful wax flowers in
her hand, and over her head, and reaching
almost to the floor, was thrown magnificent
lace veil Of point applique. This one item
alone cost 5000. Her jewelry was diamonds
the earrings being of exquisite workman
ship, and costing 1000. The material alone
of her dress cost 81 400.
Mr.. James F. Thompson, the groom, is
muatto, and has resided in St. Louis for
number of years. He is partner OF Cla-
morgan, whose baths are well known, and is
the owner Of several shaving saloons in this
city. He is reported to be immensely
wealthy, and on yesterday presented his
bride with a check for ten thousand dollars.
He is man of good education, and has
travelled considerably in Europe. The bride,
Miss Antoinette Rutger, is also mulatto,
and native of St. Louis. Her wealth, in
cash and real estate, is between three and
four hundred thousand dollars. She is an
only child, and has been an orphan for some
time. She is very highly esteemed by all her
acquaintances, and is known to use her
wealth in manner beneficial to all around
her. She is very charitable, and the fore
most in every enterprise looking towards the
assistance of the needy; and has for a long
time been the support of several poor persons.
The happy party intend starting at once for
Europe, and will make a protra, ted tour on
the continent.

road is completed to Carson it will be great
convenience and benefit to the people of this
section, and we wish its enterprising pro-
jectors the most unqualified success.
We have made these references with a
view to calling the attention of our
readers to the community of interests
which this railroad will subserve. 1t
will act as bond Of sympathy between
Ormsby county and all western Nevada.
And, taking the Capital question into
consideration, this bond of sympathy is
something to be strengthened and main
tanned by our heartiest efforts. Carson
has vital interest in such an alliance.
We entertain no doubt that within two
years this contemplated railway will be
in full working order. Such a convic-
ton, generally entertained, strengthens
the backbone of our property holders
and will give, the coming season, an
impetus to trade and building. And
when the road is built, here will be the
place of residence for the families of
the business men Of Virginia and then,
the Mint completed and converting bull
lion bars into coin, the time may be an
when our quiet little city will
increase in stability aud Importance,
with a fixed and approaching value to
its real estate and Itself be the perma-
nent location of the seat of government.

An FSGLIsHMAN CLASSIFYING ENGLISH
MEN.-In an ingenious article on Anarchy
and Authority" Matthew Arnold classifes
the orders of Englishmen into tarbarians,
Philistines and populace. The aristocracy
are the barbarians, the middle class the Phil
istines, and the working class the populace.
The passion for personal liberty and outdoor
amusements and field sports of the aristocracy
traced to barbaric origin, are said to have
preserved and transmitted their vigor, iadi-
viduality, and high spirit. The Philistine is
represented as stifSnecked and peryerse in
resistance to light, as striving to uphold q
class instinct; while the spirit of the popu-
Lace il represented BY brute force.

ELOQUENT AND TRUTHFUL.

The following extract from an article
in yesterdays Enterprise upon the
proud position now occupied by General
Grant is at once eloquent, incisive and
truthful
Never since the early days of the Republic
was there exhibited such unanimity of senti-
timent. From present indications it appears
probable that in the whole vast assemblage
of delegates there will not be a dissenting
voice to the nomination of Grant. 1t is a
proud position to occupy, to be so thoroughly
national that local preferences and sectional
iealousies curb every utterance of personal
feeling and join only in the general express
sion of regard and homage. Since Wash
:uston. no man in our nation has occupied
such eminence but Ulysses S. Grant 1t is a
position unattainable to ambition. No man
who schemes or plots, or shapes his course
and actions with view to climbing to the
exalted station, will ever reach 1t. 1t Is only
gained unawares by great souls treading In
the path of duty. Had Grant fixed his eyes
upon the shining eminence and deviated one
hairbreadth from his plain line of duty with
hope or desire of planting his feet there
upon, it would likely have receded and be-
come as inaccessible to him as to Mcclellan,
or the thousand others who wandered from
duty in an eager search of the dazzling glory.
and found only disappointment and disgrace.
Grant may have gazed on the far-oti summit
as fondly as they; but he saw that duty
pointed obviously in a different direction,
and, without hesitation or regret followed its
guidance. The way led through toll and
danger, through carnage and battle-smoke,
through delay, distrust and obloquy; but he
pursued it patiently and silently, till victory
dispelled the clouds and the lingering mists
foated away and finally faded in the light of
peace-and. 10 the simple path of duty had
led to the glorious eminence, and, pedestaled
on an imperishable foundation of heroic
deeds, he stood loved, trusted and hon0red
by the nation beyond all living men.
