About 150 delegates were present &#8211; nearly 50 arriving by the Anchor Line steamer City of Providence, and others by the different railroad lines. The following officers were present: <a href=\"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/legislators\/george-washington-gayles\/\">G. W. Gayles<\/a>, of Gaylesville, Bolivar county, Miss., President; <a href=\"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/legislators\/joseph-smothers\/\">Joseph Smothers<\/a>, of Port Gibson, Miss., Vice-President; J. J. Peyton, of Sunflower county, Miss., Secretary, and G. N. Johnson, of Natchez, Miss., Treasurer.<\/p>\n<p>A large amount of business will come before the Convention, and will necessitate a session of not less than a week&#8217;s duration.
