Mr.. Camp was about to enter the tunnel
to secure a shovel which he desired to
take with him, when his wife remarked !:
Never mind, I'll get it you take the
child" As she started for the entrance
of the tunnel she turned around and said
kiss me first" The husband did SO,
and she started for the tunnels mouth
again. bat just before she reached it she
again turned around and laughingly said:
8 Kiss me once more" Her husband

she started for the tunnel. She had just
reached the entrance, when the mass Of

Chalmers VS.. Manning.

The following dispatch appears in the
New York Herald from Jackson, Miss,
under date Of the 2lst:
The report telegraphed from this place OH the
Goth instant, wherein General Chalmers is made to
charge that the secretary of State refused to allow
any one to see the returns from the second district
until they were counted and that they were fraud
uently concealed, Is denied by the secretary of
State, who says that the charges are false There
was no reason for any concealment, for It was not
in the power Of the commissioners to amend their
returns as decided in the of Oglesby VS.. Sig
man ct al, 3Sth Mississippi Reports page 5O2,
wherein the court. speaking of the commissioners,
says "having made their canvass and declared
the result and transmitted statement of 1t to the
secretary of State, their connection with the re-.
turns ended" &C. The statement in said report
that there Is much regret among Democrats as to
the decision of Myers may be true to some few
Democrats. but the regret Is by no means general.
So far there has been ageneral ex preston II has
been one of rejoicing and commentator. Your
correspondent has not heard any one deny as an
abstract legal question the correctness of the de.
cision. Several leading Republicans are loud in
their accams Of joy over Chalmers's defeat In tho
matter in question.
The Bourbons have been unfortunate
in selecting the author of the above for
lIlC luoh vi iithliiS lIS NOlSC uDllCdT tllC
better cause. If the Supreme Court of
Mississippi decided right in the above
case then the Secretary of State did
wrong, for the commissioners of Tate
County "having made their canvass and
| declared the result and transmitted u
statement Of it to the secretary of State"
he threw it out, and refused to count the
/ 1,472 votes for Chalmers, which the COM
missioners " declared as part of "the
result" His certifcatej contradicts the
statement of the Tate County commits
toner's, upon the authority of an unsigned
tally list which gave Chalmers's votes
to fictitious parsonage called 81. K.
Chambless." Was this the particular
way selected to rob Chalmers of his seat {?
As "an abstract legal question" the re-
suit certified by the commissioners of
Tate County gave the votes to Chalmers.
1t was violation of law to take them
away because different name was found
on tally list, with which the secretary
of State had nothing to do, If tally lists
should govern, then the returns from
three counties of Manning's should have
been thrown out for not containing such
lists. The majorities in these, taken
from Manning, would have left Chalmers
elected. The leading Republicans
who are SO cloud in accl aim 4" over
Chalmers's failure to get his certificate
of election upon his votes as counted
and certified, must be men who were
hired by Manning to vote for his hired
man, Ham Carter, the straightout, who re-
ceved but l29 votes in the whole dis
trict What Democratic members North
will sustain this fraud on Chalmers?
