MississiDpi and Texas.

ALLcoRN is elected in Mississippi, and
Judge DENT is discounted by several thou
sands--possibly twenty.
The course of events in Mississippi is
strange. We hear privately that things
took turn after the campaign begun that
&" squelched" Judge DENT. ALLCoRS was
smart enough to fix his potation so as
efectually to put him to sleep. People
found outflow we know not-that ALL
CORN was better for them than DENT, and
many white people staid away from the
polls, leaving everything to AlLcoRS and
his confreres. we imagine that even had not
the public mind been rendered Indifferent
by outgiyings that have not appeared in
print, General AMEs would have taken
measures to secure the result that has taken
place. So it is all one, save that the Mis-
sissippians have hopes where they had not
expected to have ground for them.
Texas has two Radicals up for Governor,
and will probably not be much bettcred by
the choice Of either over the other. In case
of the victory Of either, we imagine there
will be no difficulty in the way of the adj
mission OF her representatives to Congress.
So we may look for the prompt admis-
sion of these two States, and feel perfectly
assured that no hitch with regard to them
will interfere to prevent the prompt admis-
sion of the Virginia representatives.
We may not only feel gratitied but proud
of the position of Virginia. She has not
been entangled by the blunders and com,
plications that have bothered most Of the
southern States, and she will, beyond doubt,
be admitted with less objection ana cayil
than has any other of the States except
Tennessec-not that she has betrayed any
reimbursement, but that she has acted in q
plain, straightforward way, in view Of the
fact that the power of the Government had
marked out the line for her, and it would
have been madness to have pursued any
other. She has conformed where conformity
was State and national duty, and where
not to conform would have been a breach oil
good sense and manly fortitude.

WASHINGTON NEWS.

THE PRospEcr.-A Washington letter IN
the Baltimore Sun Of yesterday says
"The admission of the three southern
States, Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas
NAV cause some little heated discussion,
but there is such an overwhelming pre-
ponderance of judgment in favor OF the re-
cenlion of the senators and representatives
from Virginia that there is no reasonable
ground for expecting delay clay Ga that i ia e.
yor of immediate admission of the congress
sional delegation from Mississippi ana
Texas as soon as they shall present them-
selves properly qualified.
But very small number OF Democrat
adhere to the Pendeton idea Of payment OF
the debt in greenbacks, and there here, Is nc, hOl
much prospect Of any one declaring num-
self for reputation.
There is scarcely doubt that law VIII
be passed to relieve all persons now uls-
qualified in franchise and from holding
office, rs provided in the fourteenth amend
ment. Such, at least, is the almost unani-
nous opinion Of members that have recently
nrriTed.'

The general opinion is that Virginia will
he admitted to the Union, but there is Il
clear determination on the part OF Congress
to secure the safety Of the new Republican
Constitution. Exactly how this is to be
done has not transpired. I'VE should think
uot.l The President does not conceal his
anxiety for the speedy admission OF the
state, and such is the clear wish of the Re
Dublicans in Congress but there Is deter
mination not less apparent to save the new
Constitution. 1t is hoped that Senator
Lewis will be able to remove the only oos'a-
rlc in the way Washington Chr0a!cte.
