THE COUNTING out Of J. r. Chal-
mers, in the Second Mississippi dis
trict, and the giving Of the csrtiG-
cate of election to congress to Man
ming, democrat, will be heartily APP
proved and applauded by both of
the great political parties. Chal-
mers is just such man as should
never represent anybody in con-
gress, being utterly devoid of prir-
ciple, and ambitious only to serve
himself. By means of gross frauds
and corrupt canvassers, two years
ago he succeeded in getting certif,
cate of election as a democrat
though his opponent out-voted him
5000. The contest W as carried into
the House, where the democrats
would not stand by him il
his fraudulent principles, and
the consequence was his being
kicked out. He then turned against
the democrats and became what
was called " independent-republi
can" He ran for Congress against
the regular democr attic nominee anC
an independe Mt candidate, and the
first news was tthat he had beer
elected. 1t now seems that Man
ming received the majority Of tbs
lawful votes and has obtained the
certificate. II will do Chalmers
little good to carry the contest into
the House, for it is not likely he will
find any friends there, or any person
willing TO champion the cause of so
unworthy a politician.

THEY ARE to have a lively time
in Illinois electing a United States
senator to succeed David Davis,
whose term will expire on March
4tb. There are three prominent
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Cullom, whose
excellent administration of the
state government, and large state
patronage, seem to give him the in
side track; General Raum, commits
sioner of internal revenue, and ex-
Senator Oglesby, who is ambitious
for another term. TIE republicans
have a majority in the legislature
of only twelve on joint ballot, and
as each of the senatorial candidates
has some members committed to
him the votes necessary to elect will
be hard to obtain. It is not improb-
able that Senator Davis may come
in, and get enough democratic and
republican votes, as he did six years
ago, to elect him his own successor
1t is certain that he could have been
reelected if his conduct had been
less partisan on occasions when in
dependence would have been the
proper course. AS it is, the demo
Gratis had rather take Davis than
Cullom, Raum or Oglesby, and il
they see an opportunity for uniting
with disaffected republicans and
electing him, will probably con
tinue the "third party in the Sen
ate another six years.

ALLEN G. CAMPBELL, who was
at one time ambitious to represent
Utah in Congress, has been talking
to a Chicago reporter; but as the
reporter caught Campbell when the
latter didn't have a lawyer with him
to do the talking or tell him what
to say, of course little was said, and
there was nothing in it. 1t is cruel
for a reporter to attack a man of
Campbell's calibre, without giving
him an opportunity for consulting
counsel.
