mississippi Eieettoa.--Thc election to
supply HE vacanc, j., the 18th Congress,
occaeioned by the death Of Christopher
Ra"kn, E.q. of Mississippi, took place in
July, and The following is lhr otiicisl an
nnncatlon of the result WIN. Halle
1891. John ". Nnitou 1880, Beverly i.
Grayspn 1912, and Adam L. Riaganan
ioBs-s" that VIM. Halle ia elected.
Judging from his Circular, addressed to
us constituents after his election, his tal
rnls are not of grade calculated to re-
hrei a"y credit on himself, his state or
The nainnal councils. HIS only guahR-
cations appear to Us To be happy knack
OF using thai species of cantins slang by
"hleh demagoeues SD often impose them
selves on The people for patriots. Another
election took ploc. the FIRST Monday 10
August, for representative to The goth
Congress, aud we cannot but hope that
the STATE OF Mississippi has wiped the
ioni stain from her dIshonor>d brow" by
eitrilns some other of the indi, iduals who
nier all "i whom appear to be nen OF IN
trl'igence. 1t viii be singular, indeed. II
Mississippi, sending only one represents.
I'VE 10 congress, cannot find among her
citizens an individual who has at least
some acqaaintaDce with the elementary
part OF Il common education, even II he
cannot COIN single idea, or tell hawk
