Although candidates with balm

And he will judge in spite of powers,
Or his name is not Tommy Crawford.

The election Of Bishop Galloway

ceived the largest vote on the first
ballot and was finally elected by
next to the largest vote, besides
being the youngest Bishop in the

Methodists must feel proud.
He was born in KoSciusko, this

in the Methodist faith. He was
converted while Il student at the
University of Mississippi in 1866,

also been one OF the editors of the

Judge IL. S. Van Eaton.


LEAKEsvILLE, MISS, May 20, 1856.
Editor DemOcrat-Star:
l notice the name OF Col. T. II
Stockdale mentioned for Congress
flom this 10Th district) at the next
OongressiOna! election. | know
nothing of Col. Stockdale but from
reputation. He is reputed to be II
gentleman of fine education and
undoubted ability but, / very
much doubt his being superior to
Judge Ii. S. Van Eaton, our pres.
ent member III Congress. Then,
with the advantage in experience
that Judge Van Eaton has, l con.
clude that he Is much the best man
to succeed himself. | doubt not
that there are men in Congress, vino
have the experience of two aud
three terms, who ale still unworthy
of the position, but not SO with
Judge Van Eaton; his efforts in
the interest of Mississippi have
been untiring aud he has labored
faithfully for his constituency.
There is a great deal of trickery
aud wire pulling done in Congress- ;
aud, Judge Van Eaton being a
faithful, conscientious man, a close
observer and quick witted, has sure.
ly learned in this time where to
hang his hat and when to sneak.
During the two terms that he has
been in Congress, l have seen or
heard but II objection to his
course, and that objection is against
the stand he took in opposition to
the Blair bill. l know not what
effect the passage or non passage
of the Blair bill might have. 1t
might be a good thing aud it
might not f; but | fully believe that
Judge Van EatOn's action in the
matter has been conscientious. AL
though he may have made a mis-
take in opposing it, | believe his
opposition was from pure motives,
after beng fully convinced in his
own mind that the non.p ssage of
the bill would be to the best inter.
est of the white people of Missis.
sippi.
Then, why not return Judge Van
Eaton to Congress 7 l hope that
the delegates to the District Con
ventiOn will weigh well the gallant,
talented and ~NnSelfSh efforts that
the Judge has made in the interest
of Mississippi, and balance them
against the blunders, if any, aud
thereby judge whether or not he is
worthy of being returned as his
own successor to Congress. He is
broke to the harness; bis course
has been so far unselish and con
scientious, aud on that account /
am fully convinced that the people
Of Greene will endorse him unani.
