Entry Into Politics
After the war, Manning resumed the practice of law in Holly Springs, Mississippi. After the end of Reconstruction, he was elected as a Democrat to the Forty-fifth, Forty-sixth, and Forty-seventh Congresses, serving from March 4, 1877–March 3, 1883. He resumed the practice of law in Washington, D.C., in 1883.
In 1884 he presented credentials as a Member-elect to the Forty-eighth Congress but did not qualify. On June 25, 1884, the seat was awarded to James R. Chalmers of Mississippi, who had contested his election.
Manning returned to his law practice for his remaining years. He died in Branchville, Maryland, and was interred in Glenwood Cemetery in Washington, D.C.

Famous quotes containing the words entry into, entry and/or politics:
“All mothers need instruction, nurturing, and an understanding mentor after the birth of a baby, but in this age of fast foods, fast tracks, and fast lanes, it doesn’t always happen. While we live in a society that provides recognition for just about every life event—from baptisms to bar mitzvahs, from wedding vows to funeral rites—the entry into parenting seems to be a solo flight, with nothing and no one to mark formally the new mom’s entry into motherhood.”
—Sally Placksin (20th century)
