The Contested Election Case from
asih Senatorial District.

The cont sted election betweeen Nj. b.
Sullivan, who holds the certificate Of cleo
ton, and Gen. Chalmers, who contests
his right to the seat, will probably come
up to-day. In a late number we referred
to the grounds on which the seat is
claimed by Gen. Chalmers, but did so
with an imperfect knowledge of the facts,
and Will now present them more in detail
as we have gathered them on inquiry
into the case. We are informed:
FIRST, That Sullivan is disqualified by
the Constitution from holding any Office,
because he is foreigner, and therefore
not eligible.
Secondly, Because he is liable for public
money unaccounted for, and therefore in
capable of holding any Office of profit or
trust under the Constitution.
In the event that either of these prop
ositions are established, the person re-
ceiving the next highest vote would be
entitled to the seat.
The second ground is that legal voters
were excluded from voting for Chalmers
in COahoma county, and that illegal
voters were allowed to vote for Sullivan
in Bolivar county.
The reported difference between them
is 1856 votes. AT the Terreen box in
Bolivar, the judges were never sworn.
At the Holmes Lake box there is no ev-
idence that the votes were ever counted
by the judges Of election, but box con-
tanning the supposed votes cast was sent
to the Courthouse and counted by the
Registrars-one Of whom was a Repub-
lican, and two of whom were deputies Of
the Chancery Clerk who was candidate
for reelection.
They had no right to be registrars
and they had no right to count the votes
at any other box but the one where thew
held the election. 1t is alleged that thew
gave evidence of their unfitness and dis
qualification by making new count of
one box in order to count in their en-
ployer, the Chancery Clerk, after the
first canvassing of the votes cast had
made out tie between him and his OPP
ponent.
1t is charged that at the Glencoe box,
n Bolivar, about forty negroes from Ar
kansas and elsewhere voted for Sullivan.
Either one of these grounds, if estab
ished, would be sufficient to DESTROY the
claim of Sullivan to the seat; but his
opponent need not go further than the
lrst if that can be made good. If not
he others, or either of them, will be
nipple.
