sce:
The resignation of two gentlemen elected
to the United States Senate for six years
each is somewhat novelty in political
history. In each case the Senator elect is
atOrship to remain Governor. 1t is some
what remarkable, also. that each of these
gentlemen sought the Office very earnestly,
ana obtained it only after a very protracted
contest. One abandons seat for six years
in the Senate to remain Governor Of Missis-
sippi for four years, and the other to re-
main Governor Of Arkansas for two years.
These designations show a patriotic devo-
tion to the State interests which is almost
without precedent.

years was pronounced by Recorder Hackett

earnestly that one nights delay was granted
him. 1t appears that he sought the delay
in order to suicide. as the officers found
when they came to remove him next day
that he had taken morphine. The dose was
not effectual. however, His term of impris
