THE CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST

The Commercial Herald prints in
tul the deposition and testimony OF
Q. j. Jones, in his contest for the seal
Of GeuI. Catchings in Congress. In
addition thereto the G. H, does tee
deposition The honor Of making 1t
tho subject of an editorial OF consid-
cradle length and much interest, The
deposition, aud indeed he contest,
scarcely make It necessary to offer
suythug in rebutta'.
Candidate Jones gives bis opinions
at great length and detail on the poll
cal situation of the district, and tie
conduct Of elections under The exist
log laws, aud this is about all. Moth
ing Is shown IN the deposition which
could have any effect on the minds of
its readers except perhaps feeling OF
amused compassion st its combined
simplicity aud ignorance. The Herald
with its usual good judgment, explains
that the article is published because
OF the clear insight which it furnishes
into the resl condition Of things. and
the character and calibro of the con-
testsnt The Herald is right, Of
course, in chsrscterizing il as pre-
sumption, but that Is quality rarely
separated from the Afro-Amoricau
who possesses that most dangerous
endowment - little learning" Tie
deposition will be useful in conveying
60 the world some explanations and
truths which aight otherwise have
been long aud vaiuly preached.
