IT is only a little more than a year
when both parties will be placing state
tickets in the field again, and among
the names mentioned as probable
candidates on the Republican ticket for
state treasurer is that of Hon. E. d. Coe,
of Walworth. No better or more re-
liable man could be brought forward for
this responsible Office than Mr.. Coe,
and any ticket would be the stronger
for having his name upon 1T.

Contests i'm the Next House,

WASHINGTON, May 9.--Mr. Mobley
clerk of the house committee on cleo
tions of the Fiftieth congress, is dill
gently at work in arranging, printing
and docketing the papers received in
| the contested election cases which will
claim the attention of the committee
during the Fifty-first congress. These
| papers, together with exhibits in the
sixteen cases which have already been
| certified to the clerk of the house, are
very voluminous, requiring no less
than $50 packages to contain them.
OF the sixteen cases on file all but
three come from the Southern states.
Indiana furnishes one-that of Posey
versus Parrett from the First district;
Connecticut presents one, that of Sey-
mour versus Miles from the Fourth
district, and Maryland adds her
quota in the case of Mudd versus
Compton from the Fifth district. Vir-
ginia and Mississippi each furnish
three ases-Virginia those of Waddill
versus Wise in the Third; Langston
versus Venable in the Fourth, and
Bowan versus Buchan in the Ninth
districts; and Mississippi those of
Chalmers versus Morgan in the Sec
ond; Hill versus Gatherings in the
Third, and Kernaghan versus Hooker
in the Fifth districts.
It is expected that the records of
those states will be tied by West Vir-
ginia. but as yet the papers from but
one that of Atkinson versus Pen
dletonin the First district, have been
received from that state. The cases
of Whmedt versus Clark from the
First district and McDufie versus
Turpin from the Fourth district are
contributed to Alabama. South Car
DINA is content with furnishing the
case of Miller versus Elliott from the
Seventh district Tennessee furnishes
the caseo of Eaton versus Phelan from
the Tenth district Arkansas that Of
Featherstone versus Gates from the
First district, and Florida that of
Goodrich versus Bullock from the
Second district.
The papers in the Chalmers-Morgan
case have already been opened and
sent to the printing office; and those
in the case of Langstan versus Vena-
BILE will be opened Saturday next.
The papers are generally opened IN
the presence of contestant and con-
testee after due notice has been given.
The papers in the Waddill-Wis case
will be opened in a short time. They
are very bulky, and the contestants
estimate that it will require a volume
of a thousand printed pages to con-
tain the testimony taken. Nothing
is known of thecourse which the COM
mittee will follow in dealing with the
Arkansas case of Clayton versus
Breckenridge, Clayton having been
as~sassinated while the work of taking
testimony was inprogress. Nopapers
in the case have been received by the
clerk of the house. Altogether, the
work of the election committee OF the
next house promises to be very ardu-
Gus, and it will take diligence on the
part of the committee to dispose OF
all the cases before the termination
of the congress-.

A HUGE JOKE.

The New Orleans PicayWne o
Monday, in an article Nothing t.
Worry About" which we repro.
duce in another column, explained,
doubtless 10 lis entire satisfaction,
the difference between The editor
and the business manager when a
prize fight is on hand. The one
stands aloof and redicules the IN.
significant thing about winch "shal-
low-patedn Governors get excited,
and the other hustles around lively
with a force of reporters TO cater
to the public appetite for The sen
sational. There is nothing incon-
sistent about it. The one is a nor.
alist or joker and The other the
business hustler. A thing may be
ridiculous and insignificant TO one,
but a big thing TO the other. The
one would not notice what the 9th
er renders quite noticeable, and
even excitable, getting the whole
country SO demoraliZed as to rem
der an otherwise comparatively in
nocent boxing match a perfect
gambling bedlam, rendering two
creatures so fixed by n0toriety as
TO fight each other like mad bulls.
And with all this agitation il really
amounts to nothing worthy Of no.
lice to the dignified editor. In our
humble opinion, if The business
manager is doing the thing, from a
business point of view, then The
said editor is off his base from
every standpoint.
But there are other matters the
Picayune doesn't attempt to x.
plain, charges made by the DEMO
CRAT-STAR of a much more serious
nature are passed over with the in
timation that only a joke was in
tended. A huge joke. So relisha-
BILE, indeed, that the like of 1t are
now being freely cracked by the
Northern press. They follow the
example of one of the leading
journals OF our sister State, the Pic
Gyune, and exaggerate or mIs-state
the facts to make capital of the
circumstance of the accidental es-
cape o. the pugIlistic sports from
the officers of the law of this State.
But the Times Democrat and States
did but little better. They were,
perhaps, a little fairer in their
statements. But in a very few
days they all Topped, and now turn
their attention to defending Missis-
sippi against the attacks OF the
press. SO far as we are
concerned we fail TO appreciate
their interpos:tion. We have
learned to scorn the lies of The
press, but feel deeply the
UNJUST attacks OF the daily press
Of a sister Southern State. The
is due the State of Missis-
,ippi an apology. Nothing less.

by accident and treachery. The

The spirit he shows, however, in
