THE REASON WHY.-It is said that
the reason Mr.. w, II. Eggborn, of Cul-
pepper. was not nominated for Congress
yesterday by the republican convention
which met 10 this city was because he
voted at the May election 10 favor OF
the constitutional convention. He
made this announcement publicly some
time ago, but few of the delegates to
the convention had heard of it and
when it became generally known it
was admitted that if he was nominated
the colored people would vote against
him. Mr.. Egeborn, however, early in
the day and before the convention as
sembled, told his friends positively that
he would not be a candidate for the
position.
