ARE WE To HAVE AN ELECTION.
The Vicksburg Erening Neigs says:
The Senate resolution to adjourn
sine die April 18th, will not be concur,
red in. The Republican party is de-
termined to have an election this fall,
and the question of final adjournment
will not be acted upon until a regis
ton and election law is passed.
The above we clip from the Times
Of this morning. 1t is a special tele-
gram from a RepubI IAN 10 a Republi-
can newspaper, and there is strong
reason to believe that we may hope
for an election this fall. We are
entitled to it; the constitution of the
State gives it to US, for it expressly
states that members of the Legisl8-
ture shall be elected every two years,
and also provides for an election of
county officers, State, etc. The pres
ent Legislature was elected in 1869 in
the month Of November, their term
of Office will expire this fall, and un-
less an election is ordered by the
Legislature the Governor should take
the matter in hand, and order an
election to be held.
But the Republicans are really en-.
c0UragiUg the people throughout the
State. The Pilot first makes known
the fact that an election will be held
this fall, and that the people need
have no fears on the subject at all;
next comes out the KOsciuscO CRrOn.
icIe asserting the intention of the Rad
ical party to hold an election this
year; and now little Edward, the IA
vOrite pet lamb OF the Times, who, by
the way, gets up reports that are pret-
ty correct, sends in a special, saying
that the Senate will not adjourn till
provisions for q registration are made
and an election ordered. We think it
is time that the people were permit
ted TO chose their representatives, or
when they are deprived Of that right,
why " strike out the bright star that
answered to the name of Mississippi,
leaving the stripe a fit emblem Of her
degradation"
THE DIFFERENCE.
The NickbUrg Herald says: "Ya-
lObUsha county is fortunate. Governor
AlCOrn gave it excellent county Off
GERS, selecting his appOintees eXclu-
sively from old citizens. Not a carpet
bag official is to be found in TalO-
busha, and as a consequence that cOUn-
ty is in a most prosperous condition.
The COffeeville Times refers with par
donable vanity TO the excellent cOndi-
ton of this model county.
KILLED on DUTY.
From the Canton Mail we learn that
Deputy Sheriff John Sullivan, of
Leake county, was sent, on the 4th
inst, to arrest Col. A. B. Manning at
Conway, which he did, but afterWard
Col. Manning escaped. While in the
vicinity still looking for the escaped
prisoner, Sullivan had some hard
words with a young Ramsey, Of Car
thage. Both drew pistols, but a
younger brother Of Ramsey ran UD
and shot Sullivan twice in the back
and killed him. The Ramseys both
