N"mihation Of a Colorc0 Man Ia Boston e.,
Scat i'm the Legislature.
JACKSON, MISS, Oct. Goth, 'GG.
From the Boston Journal No,


From the Boston Journal, Nov. l.
Mr.. Charles l.. Mitchell, a eolored citi
zen, was nominated by the Republicans of
Ward Six last evening, as q candidate for a
seat III the State Legislature. 1t is one of
the practical results of the political creed
which Massachusetts has been foremost in
advocating, and though it may strike some
with surprise, it is certainly creditable to
the district which made the nomination
Ward Six is the wealthiest ward in the
State 1t embraces within it's limits more
literary culture and more literally educated
men than any other Representative district
that we know of, and it is, with perhaps
the exception of q ward in New Bedford.
the only ward in this State which has a
large number of colored voters. The ward
Is the home of John A. Andrew, and there
seems to be peculiar proprioty that the
first colOred man elected as Representa-
tve-as he undoubtedly will be-should
come from ward which possesses such
marked characteristics.
Fer our own part we heartily indorse the
nomination. It shows the sincerity Of the
and is proof of their inten-
ton to carry out to the letter the political
professions which they have been making.
We believe that the color of the skin is not
g badge of dishonor, and when qualified
by education to hold the ballot fhe man
should be eligible to Office. The nominee,
we hear, is a man of sense and sagacity,
and will 90 no discredit to the State.

-,o1T r.. ~ Cholera. ans =. :


From the Louisville Democrat, Nov 2S
1t vain be remembered that during the
summer just past, cholera sweptthrough
that part Of the city within radius Tof
some six hundred yards from the corner of
Tenth and Green streets, and that within
that territory in space Of forty-eight
hours, some seventeen deaths occurred. It
was alleged that this sickness was caused
BY the bad grading Of Tenth street, from
Jefferson to Walnut, which was done BY
the city, and by this poor work the yards
Of the houses near where disease was most
fatal were overlooked, and this overflow
was the cause Of the disease. ,sra =
( The family which suffered most during
the sickness was that Of George Brumbaek,
who nesided on the westside Of Tenth street,
between Jefferson and Green, who lost his
wife and daughter. Mr.. Brumbaok has
brought suit against the city for SOS, 900,
alleging that the death of his daughter and
wife was caused by, negligence upon the
part of the city, alleging that If they had
properly graded the street. the deaths in
that vicinity would never have occurred.
The above suit has been brought in the
Count of Common Pleas, and notice was
Yesterday served upon the Mayor.

first came into the city he was Georgia

at a number of places. Next he was

Whereas, The Congress of the United States

Congress might discriminate between the pro-

LOOSE ABOUT THE STREETS. There are
hundreds Of small colored boys running
about the streets of Nashville with appa-
rently noEone to care for them. They
Pilfer and steal whatever they can lay their
hands on, and not unfrequently are SO bold
as to enter business places and take money
from the drawers of shops and stores. Yes
terday there were three or four Of these
little reprobases up before the police court,
bnt there being no positive proof against
them, they were discharged and sent home.
There certainly should be something done
to restrain these youthful Migrants and

of pilfering iron, etc, and cause endless
trouble. They are certainly = nuisance.

Digs made his appearance. He was

word sent at once TO Henry county. The
