The municipal Election.

Our citizens will breathe more freely
row that the city election is over. Al
though the offices have small salaries
attached 10 them, the scramble for them
caused a very bitter rivalry. This
caused men TO DO many things they
ought not TO have done, and generated
an excitement that can be beneficial TO
to no community.
Party lines were completely broken
down. Whites and blacks, Democrats
and Republicans, in many instances,
voted for men without knowing or
caring 10 what party tLey belonged.
In an e,ection for city Offices, there is
no reason to complain at this, but there
is much 10 complain at if half the re-
ports current on the streets are true,
It 10 openly charged that money was
boldly and freely used by different
persons to secure votes for theiE
friends. II this is so the law should
be rigidly enforced.
The colored voters we're divided in
their support. There was not a candi
date who did not get some coloret
vo;es, and we think that their votei
were generally given to white candi
dateSi in very much the same proportion
in which white votes we're cast TO
them. Candidates popular with tn
whites seemed 10 be equally as populaI
with the negroes.
It is TOO late for US 10 comment oil
the merits of the men elevated 70 I'll
tie various positions.

The GIorIous ResuIt.

The Memphis and Vicksburg Rail.
road Company certainly can find no
ground Of complaint with the vote on
the proposition made by them to The
city Of Vicksburg. The vote is virtu.
ally unanimous. Taking into consid.
GRAFTON that the total vote cast lacked
several hundred Of being q full vote,
and the fact that the proposition was
accepted by q handsome majority over
two.thirds vote, the result lie indeed
gratifying, Estimating BY the number
Of votes actually cast, the prop.
osition was accepted by over
o ten to one vote. We congratulate
our citizens on this glorious result. We
believe firmly that It marks the begin
ming of 8 new and prosperous era in
the city. Of course the acceptance OF
lie proposition made by the company
is but the beginning of the great enter.
prise, but the beginning has been made
in the right tanner. An earnest COM
panY made the proposition, and j; has
been accepted in q manner that lie in.
dicative Of the great interest Vicks'
burg has in the enterprise. We have
been assured that Sharkey county viii
also accept q similar proposition, and
then the COMPANY can begin work.

day ct Kleln's Hall, The Association
has grown from year to year until it

days when all else was gone, when
even the Courts bowed 10 the beck of
the tyrant, and the power Of money
corruptly used, the Press Of Mississippi
never deserted the cause Of justice and
right. Many of the gallant men who
stood by Mississippi in her day Of trial
will be in Vicksburg for the next few
days. Vicksburg, who a!so did her
duty, will entertain these men in man
ner meet for the occasion. Welcome,
gentlemen, 10 he historic hills Of the
