KossuTH IN xsoN.-Jackson, Miss,
March 23-Kossuth was received by Cover
nor Footc, in the House of Representatives, last
evening, and made lengthy speech in reply to
one delivered by the Governor. Little or no
enthusiasm has been shown in Kossuth's regard
by the citizens Of this place, and it is not at all
probable that his doctrines will be received with
any considerable degree of favor in Mississippi
He will find no material aid here, that is GER
tain. He 10 by no means so fluent in the use of
the English language as he has been represent
ed by the Northern presses-or, at all events,
he does not show it here. He is expected to
leave here tomorrow for New Orleans. He is
spending the day with Gov. Foote.

cratic State Convention re-assembled this mcrn-
ing. No Earring was manifested as upon the

ent candidates for the Presidency were only
vaguely hintcd at, and not regularly discussed
Fifteen electors were appointed from the va
rious Congressional districts, and authority was
vested in the Central Committee to select two
from the State at large, which shows that the
Convention claims for Virginia representation
of IL in the electoral college; whilst under the
new apportionment, based upon the recent CEN
sus, she is entitled 10 but Is.
The resolutions adopted by the Convent on
are, in substance, as follows:
lst Re-asserts the principles bodied in
! the resolutions of 1893 and SO. ..... .....
/ I'd. Declares that Congress has no power di-
rectly or indirectly TO appropriate the proceeds
Of the public lands. "
3D.. Takes ground against protective tariff.

and asserts that the Federal Government should
in its foreign policy adhere TO the maXims Of the
Father of his Country, and the Father of Dem
ocracy
9th. Re-alfirms the resolutions of the Balti-
more convention of 1874 and 1913.
9th Recommends the appointment of four
delegates from each Congressional district to
the Baltimore convention.
9Th. Approves the mode of voting heretofore
pursued by the Virginia delegates in the Bal
timore Convention.
Sh. Recommends that the vote Of Virginia
in the National Convention ought TO be given
for the candidate who can command the great
est strength with the democracy, and whose
principles are known TO conform most strictly
with the democratic principles of republcanism.
4 Without putting forth any address the con-
vention then adjourned.
i No delegates TO the National Democratic
Convention were appointed by the convention,
and the Electors were chosen without reference
TO their Presidential preferences.

Mn. Error:
Having noticed in yoSr paper Of the 18th
nlt.. communication in which my name was
mentioned in connection with the Office Of Cir
cult Attorney for the ensuing term, deem il
duty which owe moi only 10 myself, but 70
others concerned, that should offer brief re-
ply, hoping 10 relieve my friends Of all anxiety
in the matter.
While ! appreciate and feel thankful for the
high and unmcrited compliment paid me, yet l
must confess: Mr.. Editor. that am truly at a
loss 10 understand the motives which prompted
the author, in his desire to place me before the
public as competitor for the Office. 1t may
have been nought but spirit of friendship, and
the liyeliest interest in my future welfare mo-
wing. IL so, feel grateful for the honor intend
ed But jealous friends are ortcnas dangerous
10 young men as open enemies. If, however,
there be any design TO prejudice through me
any candidate for this Office, sincerely regret
that have been the one selected, and while
would not willingly attribute any sinister mo
lives 10 my kind friends, yet it can but be in
fcrred from the intimate acquaintance and per-
soilal knowledge Of my history manifested in the
communication, that lie must have known the
many considerations which would disqualify me
10 discharge the duties Of important an Office.
But allow Inc to say that ifthere was nothing else
IN the way; no legal disability 10 occupy tho
post 10 which " multitude of voters" would
promote me, my feelings Of friendship towards
Mr.. Hawkins, and unlimited confidence in his
ability and indisputable qualification for the Of
ice arc such that ] would cheerfully withdraw
my own pretcnsions, and use all efforts within
my power TO secure his election. There is
surcly no valid objection which can be urged
against him, and must say that have an inter-
est in common with his many friends, in the
success Of Mr.. III.
In conclusion, allow me TO return my sincere
thanks, and acknowledge my great Indebtedness
10 my friend, but at the same time respectfully
request that be excused by a multitude Of yo-

E5-A st. Louis correspondent, writing I'M
der date Of 9th inst, says: Yesterday was the
election. There were some disgraceful scenes
in tho First Ward. An attempt was made by
the Germans in that ward TO prevent Americans
from voting who did not agree with them. AS
might have been expected, this brought on Il
fight, in which at least one life was lost, and
several seriously wounded Rumors were cur
rent last evening, that some dozen or so were
killed, but ! do not believe more than one was
killed. The true instigators, Phillips, Rayser,
poensteln &C., managed to skulk out of the
way Of harm, An attempt would have been
made TO mob the Anzeiger Office, but military
companies were stationed to guard it. The
Germans are moi yet strong enough to prevent
Americans from voting. They should bide
their time"
