Opinions Of the Press Touching the
Position Of Powers in the
State Election.

From the Natchez Democrat
These men. in their inordinatt
zeal TO have Ames and his co-adj jutOrs pea cea
bly, installed in the places 10 which they
claim 10 have been elected, lose sight alto
gether OF the important fact that there is nc
similarity between the case of Mississippi anC
that OF Louisiana, and but little, il any, rea.
son 10 apprehend that the arbitrary physical
power OF the federal government viii be used
IN Mississippi to subvert the operation of the
organic law as it was in Louisiana to subver
the viii OF the people as expressed al the bal
lot-box.

The opinion seems to prevail that Governol
Powers viii not vaCate the executive chair tC

Governor Powers, we believe, viii fully tes
the matter before yielding an inch Of hi
"nine points Of the law"
From the Raymond Gazette.l
The opinion is gaining ground very rapidly
that our late election was all a farce. and tha
we shall have it over again next fall. The
election was clearly illegal, and will be pro
nonnced 50 by the supreme court, and hence
IL matters little who was or who was not elect
ed-at least, such seems TO be the current o.
public opinion.
From the Chickasaw Messenger
We believe the position assumed by him in
regard TO this grave question is correct, and
We are sure the interest OF the people of Mis-
sissippi would be subserved if the governor
should ignore the election and treat it as a nul
iity.
From the Aberdeen Examiner
In tins affair the individual claims OF GOV.
erDOr Powers amount 70 nothing; IL is an IS
sue that concerns the welfare Of the people
whose servant he is, and he has no night oi
authority 70 com promise their claims through
personal delicacy, or 20 surrender their right

From the Fayette ChToniclel
Governor Powers has acted properly, and
