CoRINTH, Nov. 10, 1881.
EDITORS CLARION: The election is over
and result known, that is, for this county
and Senatorial District
The Senatorial race was the most holly
contested of any in this District. We felt
confident as to the result, so far as the State
ticket was concerned, hence it was made
subordinate to the Senatorial and few oil
the county officers; this accounts for the
comparatively small majority in this county
for the State ticket. Would it not be wise
in the next Legislature to separate the State
fro m the county elections?
/ feel confident that hundreds of Lowry
votes were swaped for votes for county and
even beat candidates. The reason assigned
by Lowry's friends was, that his election
was certain, while the election of their per-
sonal friends was uncertain. If there had
been only race between the two State
tickets I feel sure that the King ticket would
not have gotten exceeding 800 votes in
Alcorn county
Prentiss county, Streets home, gave him
262 majority, while Alcorn county, Boone's
home, gave him 484 majority, and Tisho-
mingo, the other county composing the
Senatorial District, gave Boone 147 MAORI
ty, thus giving Boone 379 majority in the
District.
This is grand victory for Boone, for Mr.
Street is an able man with many warm
personal friends and influential backing,
and besides, was raised, if not born, in this
District Mr.. Boone is young man,
successful merchant and never before
candidate for Office but stands high in
every sense that gives man prominence
and influence. Col. Inge had in fact no
opposition. The old gentlemen, Mr. White
hurst, is run-mad Greenbacker, and his
canvass did him much more harm than
good.
Walker, candidate for FIoater, is young
man of no political experience, and his
candidacy surprised many Of his personal
friends; although with great advantages
against him, he ran a hundred or so votes
ahead in this county of his opponent. and |
present incumbent, Mr.. Reese
While many good men were beaten for
Office in this county and District, never
theless the people can congratulate them
selves that upon the whole, the successful /
aspirants are worthy and capable men.

cOngratulatory speech after the election.

also know how to use it generously to-
wards Yanquished foe. 1t was Gen.
Taylor, the hero of the Mexican war,
who was carried into the Presidency on
a whirlwind of popular enthusiasm, that
said he had ''no enemies to punish. no
friends to reward" And above all, is to
be applauded the sentiment of 1t. Gov.
ShaGds that eve want no victory over

thoughts that are now yelling up in me.

exultation, yet desire to say, speaking a.

me with its suffrage, that it is no unworthy
feeling. This has been fraternal strife ]
am willing to eoncede to those who differ
from me the same honesty of intent and
patriotic impulse that has characterized
our own endeavors. Not an act of violence
has marked the campaign. The election
! day, which brought total cessation of all
ordinary business, has passed as quietly as
a Sabbath, and now, with cur friends of the
Greenback and Republican parties before
me, | will say that we desire for the future
that freedom of expression both on the
hastings and at the baIlot-box which has
been had at this and all prior elections in
this county. We aCaRt no victory Ouer our
Reighbors saUe that honestly obtained at the
ballot boz. Believing as / do, that the prin-
cipIes advocated by the Democratic-Con-
sentative party of Mississippi, are consist
ent with the highest human liberty and
productive of the greatest good for the
greatest number of our people, l have adj
vocated them with all the zeal snd energy
there is in me and, yet, in all my endeavors
it is my desire and purpose that my voice
shall always be heard in favor of the right
against the wrong, the weak against the
strong. And in this am justified BY the
majority Of voters in Mississippi Ny
party can never ask me to take any other
position; If it were to do so should never

lamented Lincoln, this must ever be

breakdown Of the star Route Pros,
ecution.

The Star Route prosecution has
broken down on the first trial. The
motion to dismiss the proceedings sby
information was sustained by Judge
Cox, of the Washington Criminal
Court. The substance of the decision
was that the fifth article of the amend
ments to the Constitution of the United
States ''provides that no person shall
be held to answer for capital or other
wise infamous crime, unless on a pre-.
sentiment or indictment by Grand
Jury, except in cases arising in the land
and the naval forces The offences
charged in the information which the
Government sought to file is, in the
opinion of the Court, infamous. Con-
sequently it is clearly in eontravention
of the Constitution of the United
States. To speak plainly, we cannot
see how the Court could have decided
otherwise without violating a plain
provision of the Constitution. The
decision does not touch the merits of
the case, though it gives the Star
Reuters the appearance of victory In
the outset. The reason assigned by the
counsel for the prosecution for not pro-
ceeding in the usual form of indictment
by Grand Jury, is the fear that the
bar of the statute of limitation would
have interposed to prevent jury from
acting in the premises, and that the
case was delayed by the confusion and
sorrow attending the assassination of
the President In certain memorable
Presidential canvass, one of the candi-
dates was called upon to speak on an
occasion which would have afforded him
the opportunity to define his position
upon a subject of great delicacy and i'm
portance, and he evaded it by saying
that 'the noise and confusion" was too
great for him to be heard. The dodge
was so palpable that it created laugh
all over the country at the expense of
the unlucky aspirant, and he never re-
covered from it. We suspect the
government was guilty of a similar
ruse to avoid a Washington grand
jury, which is believed to be prejudiced
against any proceeding designed to
bring to justice the depredators on the
federal treasury. Many of the brown
stone fronts and castellated mansions of
the city of magnificent distances have
been reared with fortunes obtained by
such practices as the Star Route thieves
have been guilty Of The lawyers who
are managing the case for the govern
ment say that there is an abundance of
charges which are not barred by the
statute of limitation, and that the Grim
inals will be proceeded against in the
usual form of Indictment, but the coun-
try will entertain serious doubts on the
subject.

YAZoo CITY, MISS, Nov. 10, 1881.
| EDITORS CLARION The election wa
conducted quietly and withouta ripple, mo-
only here, but throughout the county il
fact, with such exaspeEating peaoefulness as
to leave not even nucleus upon which
Radical quill-drivers can fabricate an edito
rial about the "Bulldozing Yahoes." Here
as in many other places in the State, there
was want of the proper interest and
many, especially negroes, neglected to vote.
This lack of interest is not attributable to
Indifference, but to the general confidence in
the result and faith in those whom the best
people of the land have endorsed as worthy
of the support of all good citizens. Only
iftyztwo votes we're given by Yazoo City to
the King ticket.
Business is as brisk here as could be ex-
pected, considering the condition of the
country, and our town is continually i'm
proving.

cluded that it has no constitutional right to
