Fifteen Mississippi Radicals, including

Committee this morning, demanding the
exclusion from the count of votes on the

the constitution, and elect Radical State

allege is that terror reigned in those coun-
ties. They ask Congress to declare Mis-
sissippi reconstructed and entitled to read
mission to Congress. Among the fifteen
several were northern and western men.
