SEVENTH BALLOT.

Pending the above ballot, Mr..
Magruder, of Warren, arose to a ques-
ton of privilege. He called attention
to an editorial in the Vicksburg Post OF
Yesterday. in which it was charged that
cOmD1nation or siauc lind l,vv1I rs..ss,ol
in the interest of Mr.. Miller, candidate
for Attorney General. Mr.. Magruder,
in behalf Of the Warren delegation,
repudiated the charge with scorn aud
contempt. 1t came from hand which
had concealed in it many thrust at the
Democratic party. The vote of Warren
county in this Convention was not a
commodity to be traffic ed for favor.

since the order was made that the
