WASHINGTON Special. Mississippi
Democrats now here express appre-
hension that Chalmers will prosecute a
number Of Manning's followers for
alleged election frauds. These gentle
men say that Chalmers not only con
trolls the prosecuting machinery, but
the grand and petit jurors, and that he
will make ii extremely interesting fsT
his political opponents before he gets
through.
The above appears in Republican
paper. General Chalmers is not likely
to cut much Of a figure in such role,
though he may be able to NAL &
it disagreeablc to some OIL
his old neighbors and political
friends, We doubt whether a
man of his sense and natural gener-
Osity could be SO far misled aud
warped by prejudice as to become a
petty prosecutor of those who failed
and refused to follow him out of the
Democratic party, and we doubt
whether any Democrats express su, h
apprehension as stated above. The
election was about as fair as usual in
any State, There was no charge Of
violence, intimidation or undue infla-
ence, except that Msnning's friends
allege that the Hubbell fund was
freely used to debauch purchasab .
voters, Upon this ground, it is un-
derstoOd, Mr. Manning will contest
for the seat should he decline the Ger
tihclte and allow General Chalmers
to be swornin.

Riddleberger, to the DEMOCRATS.
Therefore, it is said that the Repub-
lican managers will advise the return
to the Senate of David Davis, instead
Of Raum, MeCHllOm, or any part Of
the other Republican candidates. The
reason assigned for Mahone's reported
intention, as here outlined. is the
evident desire OF the Republican party
managers to let him be no more prom
iuent in the party, but to relegaie him
backwards.
