the vote that Mr.. Stewart will receive

signed the call, being absent. This is,
no doubt, the highest compliment ever
paid to a Senatorial aspirant in any
political caucus ever held on the Pacific

as he will be on next Tuesday, he will
be honored by being the first candidate

EINGISIANs COMING To THEIR SENSES
The following statement is good indication
that new and better light is breaking in upon
the benighted Virginia mind:
RICHMOND, January ..
A Conference of some of the leading men
in the State has been in session for two days
past, attended by A. H. Stewart, Flounroy,
Generals Echols. Balling, Ruffin and many
others. A preamble and resolution were
agreed on, stating that while the people Of
Virginia do not believe the negro in his IN
educated condition is vet fit for suffrage, vet
in view Of the expression Of public opinion
by the recent national election, in the hope
OF creating harmony in the Union, they are
willing to accept universal suffrage coupled
with universal amnesty. A committee Of
nine was appointed to visit Washington and
urge Congress to legislate SO as to secure
these to the people Of the State. A resolu-
ton was adopted recommending the people
Of the State TO hold Convention February
10, at Richmond. TO receive the report Of the
Committee and arrange far canvass. This
Conference is the result of movement on
the part Of the Do-some;hings a. distinguish
ed from the Do-nothirgs, the former desiring
TO make some advances toward meeting the
Reconstruction Acts and arerting the dis
abilities of the test oath, etc, of the rew
Constitution, the latter believing that the
people of the State should under no circum-
stances sanction negro suffrage, which they
believe disastrous and degrading.

CURIOUS STATISTICS has been
estimated that the cost of washing lin
eli that might just as well be worn two
days longer, amounts TO enough in this
country to more than defray the expen-
SEES of the American Board of Foreign
Missions.
The expense of buttons on the backs
of our coats, where they are of no
earthly use, is equal to the support of
all our orphan asylums.
1t is estimated that the value of old
boots thrown aside, which might have
been worn at least day longer, is
more than enough to buy a night-dress
for every child in the land. Also, that
the cost of every inch on full shirt col
lars of our young men, is equal to the
sum necessary to put II bible in the
hands of every Patagonian giant. y
