HON. T. C. CATCHINGS.

In the primary election last Mon
day in Mississippi FOR successor to
Congressman Catchings in the shoe
string district, Judge Pat Henry, Of
Vicksburg, was victorious over all
other candidates combined, and will
represent his district for the Eext
two years in Congress. While wa
have nothing to say against Mr..
Henry, we consider the loss of
Catchings 10 the people of Missis-
sippi, and to Louisiana as we'll, as
something very seriolss. Catchings
is man OF almost national reputa-
ton, and it was due ID q great meas
ure to his recent speech in Congress
in behalf OF the Mississippi river APP
preparation that the bill was passed,
sppropriatiDg s., 250, 900 for the i'm
provement OF the river from Cairo to
the Gulf. In al matters of interest
to the people OF the asluvial lands
along our great river he was potent
factor, and his extensive influence in
Congress was always extended in
this direction.
Catchings is a very able man.
Few men in The State OF Mississippi
can rank with him ia craftsmanship
or the grasp al the great pob!ems of
the day. As we understand it, he
was ''shelved' in the shuestrihg dis
