THE CASE OF MILES GIBBONS.

we learn that in the case of The
State VS.. Miles Gibbons, for the
murder Of Capt. VIM. VI. Estelle,
just tried in the Circuit Court of
Rankin county. the jury failed to
agree, and the prisoner was remand
ed back to Jail at Jackson.
The Eicksburg UeralR learns that
the jury stood eleven tor conviction
and one against, and the Times states
that they stood Line for cOuyiatIOn
and three against. If the Herald is
right it was a very "closc fit" "toO
close to be comfortable :" but in either
event, there is very large prepon-
derauce against the innocence of
Mr.. Gibbons, and there is fair
chance for him to be gibetcd yet, for
that horrible murder.

THE ELECTION IN TERf0Nr.


The Radical newspapers are ii
high glee over the result of the
election in Vermont. The Rebub-
Leans have carried the State by
a majority of about $4,000, being
a gain of some 1000 since last year.
\ close examination into the matter
will show that they have less cauSc
for .jubilatiol than superficial view
would seem to justify.
1t is we'll known that when a
State is very largely in favor of
one party or the OTHER, tie minority
party, knowing that all efforts to
reverse the figures in its favor would
be futile, generally give the thing
up, without any great effort at sue,
cess. This has been the case in
Vermont, as it always is everywhere.
Look at Kentucky. Last year the
Democratic majority was only 49,.
900; this year it is nearly 100000
The Republicans, knowing they had
no chance, perhaps did not put
forth their entire strength. The
maiorilies have always
been so large in Vermont, that the
Democrats scarcely m,RR-Hpif ;c!hIeit
