aida county is safe for a handsome Union
majority en- the Electoral ticket. At Pine
Grove the head of the ticket received SO
Union majority. The State ticket received
and average of about 80 Union majority,
and the Legislative ticket the same. At
Smiths Valley precint there was Union
majority. At Sweetwater the Electoral
ticket Q Union majority. Aurora not heard

majority. Crystal Peak it is thought will

"THoMPsoN's COLT" was paraded through
our streets yesterday to the tune of fife and
drum. Colonel Abe Curry bet certain
amount of money against Major Jim Thomp-
soI's colt, that Seymour and Blair would not
get 260 votes in this precinct-and won the
bet. Yesterday Curry had tbs colt blanketed
with broad sign bearing the words; "Thonp-
sons Colt. His name to be changed by the
next Legislature. to Frank Blair" and, as
we have stated, had him led through the
streets, headed by Frisbics' martial band.
The occurrence was witnessed BY large
number Of spectators-Curry and Thompson
occupying positions in the stand opposite the
Magnolia-and the people on the streets
cheering the exhibition. Curry says he is
going to stable his colt in the Pcnitentiary.

THE Road between Carson City, Warm
Springs, and Empire, is being put IN good
shape for Winter travel.
Il will be remembered that during the
storms Of last Winter the road was impas-
sable for buggies or teams. But Colonel
Curry has taken it in hand now, and in thirty
days will have it one Of the finest through
fares leading out OF Carson.

THoMPsoN's Colt has been found at last,
Curry got him from the original owner, Jim
Thompson on the election bet, and having
won that famous piece OF horse flesh, the
Colonel proposes to send him to the State
Prison for safe keeping, so that all the world
may know where to find him.
Thompson col; has always been considered
a fool, but not much more than our Demo-
cratic friends, who were so insane as to think
Seymour and Blair would carry this State.
An ILLUSTRATED ANNUAL OF PHrESOL0-

MARTYRDoM FOR REsPECTABMITy.-A late
number of the London Spectator grayely dis
cussed the right OF man to starve himself to
death, rather than secure subsistence by ap.
plying for relief to the parish. 1t appears that
Mr.. Pritchard, segarmaker, having be.
come security for friend to the amount OF
three thousand pounds, paid the debtbut,
in 30 doing, ruined himself; and, finally, hsv-
ing pawned all the articles in his house on
which he could raise any money, and tried va-
rious Intellectual modes OF obtaining living,
starved himself to death and his wife and five
children to the verge Of the grave aud actual
insensbility, rather than apply for relief to the
parish authorities. He divided the last half
loaf Of bread among the children himself-his
wife being then too sick to eat. On the next
day he suddenly asked for food, but there was
none for him, and he soon fell for ward on his
tace and died-or, as his daughter described 1t,
"He was praying for mother and for us, and
then he fell over on the floor, aud has been
sleeping there ever sincs." The mother was
found insensible, and the children huddled up
in corner, almost gone. An hour or two
moro, and relief would have come too late.
This was cleary an affectionate and good fami-
ly. The few books left (worthless TO pawn)
were all religious books. The one thing the
poor father seemed unable to do was to ask
from the parish authorities the succor neces,
sary for the family for whom he struggled
with great affection and tenderness. No man
in the parish had better claim to demand such
aid as right, for he had for years paid all his
taxes for the support Of the necessitous.

RICHMOND, January 14.-In the convention
an article in the constitution was adopted, de-
claring that Virginia shall forever remain in
the Union, and pledging her to resist all efforts
to break it up.
An article was adopted that slavery in the
State is forever abolished.
A resolution from the Republican side, in
yiting General Butler to address the conven-
ton, was adopted. Another from the Conser-
yatives, inviting General Wise to speak, was
offered. At this point, Republican moved to
reconsider the resolution inviting General But
Ter. Pending the discussion, and amid mo-
tions to adjourn, Butler entered the door, and
shortly after the Conservative members LETT the
hall in body, with one or two Republicans
who had opposed the resolution OF invitation
Butler in his speech said there should oe as
few changes in the constitution, and as re"
acknowledgements, and as few test oaths as
possible. With reference to disfranchlsement
he thought it should apply to presidents o.
railroads, corporations, etc. The Legislature
should have power to remove these disabilities
ON evidence Of loyalty. The tax on education
should be laid on portions Of the people only
but other taxes should be borne by persons
and property alike. He urged The convention
to be diligent, and to get through their wori
promptly. Suffrage could not be taken from
man after it had been granted; but the lesisla
ture hereafter as an incentive to education
should confer it only upon those who can reat
and write. The convention voted thanks II
General Butler, and adjourned.
It has been showing all day.

GENERAL MEADE AND THE GEORGIA CoNvEN-
T1oN.-General Meade addressed the Georgia
State Convention. at Atlanta, last week, and
in the course OF his remarks said:
Your duty, gentlemen, which you!! are. are called ed
civil goYernment for the people Of Georgia,
and, il accepted by the people Of Georgia,
then to be submitted to the Congress of the
United States. I trust that as Military Com
mander, we shall cooperate as far as may be
necessary. do not see however, that there is
much cooperation necessary. Your duty. Is
specific, and mine is similar. I do not consid-
er that your ordinances, within the limits Of
the acts necessary for the discharge Of the du,,
ties prescribed by Congress, are to be enforced
by me pending the adoption of the constitu-
ton; but I conceive the powers with which I
am invested are sufficient to authorize my
adoption Of any of your acts as my acts, in
case in my Judgment the well being OF the
people imperativey require such action on my
part; and, among such measures, have un,
der consideration the relief laws as prepared
by you.

The effect of this suspension will be to forbid
any collection of the tax imposed by the con-

In the Convention to-day resolutions were
introduced to draw sixty thousand dollars
from the State Treasury for per diem, and to
recommend Congress to donate public lands to
