ed the sociable Wednesday evening.
Normal sociables are always good, but
on this occasion the Normal beat itself.
We never saw more enjoyable soci-
able. Every person present seemed
bent on business, that was, to have a
good time. The citizens of Emporia,
old and young, enjoyed themselves
with the students. There was no
speaking, singing, playing or anything
else but promenadms andtalking. The
sOciable time ran right on without
jar or change OF program, until Prof,
Pom erOy said we had been together

Davis, Footc and Quitnan.

These gentleman composed the
t umv.r;t. which ruled Mississippi
politics foT twenty years. Henry 5.
was the fifteenth governor, and did
once pace tile streets of Jackson. proud
as any Henry OF Navarro; and well he
might. for in November, 1871, lie de-
feated Hon. Jeff Davis though by the
small majority of 800 votes taking his
stand firmly on union and cOmpro-
mise-measures which, ten Years la
ter, found few advocates i'll Misslssip-
pi; while, upon the reverse doctrI' e
of states rights, his late rival rose to
the presidency of the new confcderacy,
Foote going into temporary eclipse
General John \. Quitman had been
the successful competitor for guberna-
torial honors the term before having
come to the people with his laurels
gathered fresh from the fields of Next
co, lie was invicible. In February,
1851, however, Gov. Quitman resigned
the Governorship. The ensuing SUM
mer lie was placed at the head OF the
state rights ticket against Foote; drew
off a few weeks before the election, af-
ter making a hot canvass, and MIR.
Davis was substituted in his stead =
This victory was esteemmed great
triumph for Foote and the union
menu of Mississippi. During the can
vass q correspondent for one of the
Quitman orgal.s, published in jack

munieations, Peter" and often Civ
ing Mr.. Foote the benefit of his sar-
casm. At CarrolltOn, where the
friends of either party gathered IN
great crowds, Foote, when his turn TO
sneak came, read from Peter and

expressing desire to get one sight OF
that individual.
No sooner said than young man
of twenty, square built and muscular,

modest demeanOr. walked upon the
stand behind the speaker, laid his hand
upon his shoulder, and remarked:

"My name is Peter?' returned the
imperturbable.
art thou indeed Peter?'
II am, indeed was the rejoinder.
"Then give us your hand, shrieked
FOote, while the crowd roared its
laughter and hurrahs.
There was more in the manner than
i'm the speech. Tut Mr.. Foote'S friends
fairly roared as that gentleman turned
upon Peter and bowed him gracefully
off the stage at the end of the episode.
The entire campaign was hot, and
in the little fisticuifs that interrupted
debate it was first Foote and then
Quitemau on top. At Grenada Foote
walked up behind Gen. O., twhile that
