The MISSISSIPPI JuDeEs. The Boston Post calls
attention to the fact that the Judges who decided
that the State Of Mississippi was bound to pay the

illustration be complete until we learn whether these
honest and fearless Judges will be sustained at the
polls, or whether they will be rejected for men
