known before LieutenautG Governor of
Mississippi. 60 81
Tho hrstact Of the Democratic Legis-
nature, last winter, was to pass bill
amending the State Constitution and
IAbolishing this newly created office,
which bill was submitted to the voters
ut tbe late election in the form of u
constitutional amendment. =
AT the Democratic State Convention
Mr.. w. H. Sims was u candidate for
the nomination of Lieutenant Cover
nor. He obtained the prize he sought,
was nominated and last Tuesday was
elected by over one hundred thousand
majority; but, large as is that majority,
he has won only II barren honor after
all, for it will not suffice to elect him.
Amendment No. to the State consti-
tuition abolishing the Office of Lieuten-
ant Governor appears also to have OBJ
tanned large majority, and the very
votes that elected Mr.. Sims Lieuten-
ant Governor abolished the office to
which he was elected. His election,
therefore, will prove a barren victory,
only emitting him to bear the illus
trious name Of Governor. Perhaps no
person has ever enjoyed the honor of
being Governor for so short time RS

but Mr.. Shelton is entirely blameiess,
as the individuals assessed failed to
