The Charleston papers come to us
with the announcement that Hon. j.
J. Russell will be q candidate for re-
election to the legislature. The demo-
rscy of Mississippi county should de.
light to honor Mr.. Russell by returning
him without opposition. AT the last
session he was elected speaker pro tenn,
and filed the chair u great deal, with
ability asa parliamentarian, with per-
feet iup1rtiality, and with satisiac-
ton ~ Ms colleagues. Not too much
OF ! talker Mr.. Russell was a ready
debater upon all questions OF moment,
and was instrumental IN the passage OF
most of the wise legislation that was
adopted, and in throttliDg measures
which were either certainly pernicious
or of doubtful expediency. Upon the
all-absorbing question of the regular
and extra sessions, railroad legislation,
Mr.. Russell was faithful to the cause
OF the people, and was o found
ranged with those who were determIn-
ed that their power to legislate upon
the matter should be INDICATED by
such action as was demanded by Jus.
tice and right, and by the platform OF
the democratic party of the state at the
previous election. Mr.. Russell is q
conscientious, fearless advocate in The
legislature of the interests of the PEG
pie. We understand that he has nc
opposition for re.nOmInation in hi;
party. Ii the opposition thereto in hit
county is sincere in its desire to secure
legislation iutended to repress the
encroachments of all monopolistic ten
denotes, if it desires effective work il
that direction, it will permit neither
local jealousies nor personal ambitions
to stand in the way of the return to tn,
legislature OF this trained and jealous
champion of their rights. They can
not afford TO lose his valuable services
These words are written by one who
was much upon the spot, and who saw
amid the blare and smoke of as arden
a uolitical battle as was even fougL
how brave a soldier was Joseph j
Russell.
