az we can and as we intend to vote the

CoxoRSSsMAN.-We are sorry that our
friend and editorial associate, Colonel
Charles \. Sumner, was not nominated
for Congressman. For the truly valuable
services he has rendered the party in this
State for the last four or five years-his
intimate acquaintance with the true in
terests OF u people-and his identified
ton with the future Of u State-he was
entitled to a nomination at the hands Of our
late State Convention. But he fell short
about four votes, having torty-nine, with
which his friends could have commenced
bsllotinS-it requiring ftty-three to NOM
iua,e. There being no probability Of OBJ
tanning these-the "slate" having been
made up on Mr.. Ashley-his friends
deemed it best to have the lstter's nomi-
nation made by reclamation. This, we
know, is the second time Col. Summers
friends have aided in the bestowal of a
Congressional nomination upon Mr.. Ash
ley. We hope the friends of this gentle
man will appreciate this service. and some
time reciprocste. Although defeated, we
apprehend Colonel Sumner is not dis
fastened; and ,ha, his time will come after
q while. He is yet in the prime Of life,
and our State but in its infancy.

asked if they had a .mitamus. They said,

ceive the negro, but referred them to
B. N. Pryor, deputy sheriff, when
one of the men called on Mr.
Pryor, who told him the negro could not
be received unless they got mitamus
The man returned to the Jail, and they
insisted on putting the negro in Till

MAN, open every evening
To THE DRUGGIsTs OF MEMPHIS. Our
object being to make money, and as there
is goodly sized family of US in Menu

that there is no use for them to go to the
