Union men, the result is most significant
Mr.. Steele is a man Ct ~unwaveTiug 10y
atty, having been eziled from home Tor hi
Unionisln; and would have taken part II
the war sgainst the rebellion, but for hi
lameness. At the time when many Of thos,
who are now prosecuting him, were safely
protected by The rebels, because they wer,
rebels themselves, Mr.. Steele was arrested
and held a captive by Morgan and his band
and much Of his property was seized and
taken along.
Since the resignation Of Mr.. Cooper, be
has been Chairman Of the Judiciary Com
mittee-a part he has filed with great
ability, and to the satisfaction Of ell. He
has seldom been absent from his seat, and
never in the slightest degree, neglected
the interests Of his constituents, and Of the
people atlaIge.
He has had a long experience in The
Legislature, aud is thoroughly aequainted
with parliamentary law; and never have
we seen him act other than in a perfectly
honorable manner in his dealings with the
House at large, and with his fellow mem
bers individually.
In returning him TO the seat he vacated,
in order to protect the people in their rights,
the people Of Marshall county viii refec.
creditor themselves, and secure the services
Of a most efficient representative.
We are also glad 20 see that Mr.. Bledsoe
has been rsnominated, as he, too, is an in
dustrious and honest man, and ever watch
ful Of the interests Of his constituents.
The following are the proceedings Of the
meet.
