Fifteen Mississippi Radicals, in.
Guiding Eggleston, the defeated can.
didate for Governor, appeared before
the Reconstruction Committee, de-
manding the exclusion from the count
of votes on the Constitution, of
Rankin, Chickasa, Marshall, Carroll,
Desoto, Lafayette, and other coun-
ties. BY this means they expect to
carry the Constitution and elect Radi-
cal State officers and Congressman.
The reason they allege is that terror
reigned in the counties. They ask
Congress to declare Mississippi re-
constructed and entitled to re admiss-
ion to Congress. Among the fifteen
several were Northern and Western
men.

It was our intention to give, in a
condensed form, the exercises at
Delaware College three weeks since,
but the matter was mislaid until it is
almost too stale. We copy the fol
lowing from the Delaware Gazette
relative to the address delivered by
Rev. Newton of this place, which is
all we can find room for at present :
Sunday evening Rev. Isaac New
ton, an alumnus of the class of SO,
preached the Annual Sermon, his
subject being, "The Conflict between
Truth and Error" The discourse
had the merit of graphing with liv-
ing subjects and dealing with prac-
ticsl questions. Rationalistic infidel-
Iity was severely rebuked, and intem-
perance in high places and low, and
influence of the whiskey traffic mani
tested as corrupt power in the land
and an element in the forces of evil,
came in for large share of eloquent
denuncistion. Mr.. Newton is fear
less and forcible speaker, original in
his style, and held the close attention
lof his audience throughout.
