9TH as sure to elect Union Representatives

tlemen in this district for Congress: B. J.

and Franklin Stearns for the county of
HenrO. 1t is conceded that Jno. II. Gil
more will be elected to the State Senate.
The defeat of Mr.. Charles Palmer for
the Senate is O most disastrous indication.
He is the Unionist who some weeks since
was introduced to President johnson and
Cabinet at the Executive Mansion, and
largely complimented, both for his extend
ed character and services to the Union
throughout the late war. Returns are
favorable TO the election of Charles L.
Mosby, the eligible candidate of the Fifth
District. j. d. Hogan is probably elected
in the Eighth District.

adopted by an almost unanimous vote. 1t

as applicable to those who prominently |
participated in the rebellion.

public are at present ignorant, and which
will, l trust, tend to place my case on a far
different light han it is now in"
