The people will bear in mind that Monday
the 9TH day of May next is the day for holding
an election to fill two vacancies in the House
Of Representatives from the original county Of
Du Buque. Patrick Qui.ley, VIM. Hutton,
Samuel H. Murray, L. II. Langworthy, and
Robert G.. Bowen, are, we believe, all the
candidates that are before the people.

Patton Of Virginia, after some debate was
laid on the table by vote OF lOO to 9c-
between thirty and forty members being alb
sent, twenty-five Of whom are known to be
in favor of the measure. Mr.. Gray, of N. Y.
voted IN the affirmative, for the purpose OF
being enabled to make the motion to recon-
slider the vote, which he afterwards gave
notice that he should make at future day.
This vote is not considered as at all indca-
tive Of the rejection Of the measures propos-
ed in the bill, by the House, but, on the con-
trary, shows that in full House there will
be majority of eight or ten members in ia
vor of the measures. There is now hardly
any doubt that this, or similar, bill will
pass both Houses before Congress adjourns.
The annual appropriation bills have prin-
cipaIly occupicdthe House during the week,
and some Of them were passed. We have
not yet seen any mention made of the for
tiGcation appropriation bill.

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.

TO the CHizcns Of Newport:
The Committee some time since appoint
ed by the Town, to make suitable arrange
mcnts for noticing in an appropriate man.
ner the return of the day which completes
the Second Century since the settlement of
this Island, beg leave to give notice, that in
consequence of the Towns not having
made an appropriation, and feeling them
selves a reluctance, on account of the pres
ent depressed state Of the times, to call up
on their citizens, individually, and
SOLICIT them to contribute for the purpose
Of defrnying The expense of such celebra-
ton as would be well worthy Of the inter-
esting event-they have thought proper to
dispense with any formal procession usual
ly had on public occasions, attended by
military display, and confine themselves to
II more economical course, which they are
confident will be tmore congenial to tho
feelings and wishes of the Rev. gentleman
who has been invited 20 deliver the dis
course, than any that could bo adopted
and trust that under all the circumstances,
it will meet the appreciation Of the public
generally.
The use of the I'd Baptist Meeting House
has been kindly granted for the OCCASION,
and they respectfully invite all feeling in
terested and desrous Of participation in the
celebration, to give their attendance at the
above place. on Wednesday morning next,

Services will consist of Prayer by the Rev.

lccted hymns) by the Choir, accompanied
Ivy MIR. Taylor on the organ--thc par,lcu-
lars of which will be expressed in the print

ton Of ladies at half-past . o'clock, and

self have not the slightest doubt that the
weapon which belonged to the prisoner will
be found where he placed it previously to
this unfortunate occurrence. Gentlemen,

book to the foreman. As the latter raised
i. upon tine desk before him dirk dropped
from, between the leaves, the very counter
part of the one which had been sworn to

multitude, loud above which might he heard

ucclamation, and without the ceremony of

A month after the termination of The tri-
al desertcr when about to suffer for his
crime, confessed that, out of revenge for
some fancied indignity which he had once
experienced at the hands of Captain Hen
derson, he had committed the murder for
which Raymond had been SO nearly con-
victed. At the day appointed, Ellen and
Raymond were united, but he could not
forgive the friends who had so easily de-
serted him, and in few weeks, accompa- |
MED by his lovely bride, he departed for
for Texas, where those who have been con- /
versant with the history of the recent strug-
Gle ofthat infant Republic, have recently
met with his true name, that Of Raymond

pubicans Of Lincoln, as a candidate to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the murder Of

Mr. McCrate is well known and highly
appreciated by the democracy of Maine.
He was number of years valuable mem

CONGREssIONAI.I

The only action Of Congress, during the
past week, Of much general interest, was
upon the Independent Treasury Bill. We
erroneously stated, in our last, that the bill
passed the Senate on the Saturday previous
1t was then only ordered to be engrossed
Tor a third reading, but finally passed the
Sens'e o" Monday. by th..samc vote, (27
to 25,) and was sen, to the House for con-
currence. 1t was brought forward in the
House on Tuesday, and on motion Of Mr.

Mr. Crittenden aud Mr.. Menifee, who
acted as the aids of Graves in the murder,
boarded with Graves, at Mrs. Hills oppo-
site Gadsby's. Clay, Crittsnden, Menifee
and Graves, were all fellow boarders at
Mrs. Hills. The two last are pupils of
Clay and would take no important step
without his advice. Mr.. Cri,tenden the I'M
mediate of Mr.. Clay in all matters, accom-
panied Graves to the scene Of murder 1t
is therefore certain that Henry Clay knew
of and did not prevent this duel. 1t was
in his line, and lie could have prevented it
if he would.-Why did he not

We can congratulate the country ut
least upon one point, that there has been at
length some decisive action upon this all
important question, (the Independent
Treasury Billy The bill has passed the
Senate. lfn travels through the House by
the same easy stages in which it has gone
through the Senate. it will probably arrive
at the end Of its journey by midsummer.
The democratic senators have endesvored
to expedite its passage, knowing that the
people are anxious for a decision Of some
kind, while the wings have delayed and
procrastinated il BY every means in their
power.-The people ask to be relieved from
their suspense, but to keep them in sus-
pense is part of the whig policy. The
whig themselves admit that these long pro-
crastinated discussions have wearied the
public mind, aud almost destroyed the ?o-
tience of the people, but That is precisely
what they want. The people say " do
something" No, says Mr.. Clay, the " do
nothing policy" is the ",rue policy" Let
US know what to depend upon" is the de-
mand Of even the whig merchants, but their
whig representatives insist, that the best
plan is to keep the whole matter in doubt,
to have no decision upon it, and TO stick to
that delightful state of" suspension which
is the approved policy of all who are under
tho ban Of the money-king.

Another Boundary Qucstioa..-We learn
from the Baltimore American that another
difficulty in relation to our boundary is a.
bout to arise with Texas. "Texas," that
paper says, /" has laid claim to Fayette and
Miller counties in Arkansas, aud establish
ed land Offices there. A majority of the
people side with Texas, have elected rep
rcsenatlves to the Texan Congress, and
have organized counties, and elected sher-
ifs, clerks, coroners, &c. They refuse to
pay taxes to or to recognize the jurisdiction
of Arkansas, The subject has been refer
red to the Legislature of Arkansas by the
Governor, who recommends that Miller
county, where the greatest disaffection ex-
lists, and where, he says, the laws cannot be
faithfully execsted, lie abolished, and her
territory attached to some other county pos.
sessed of more patriotism. The Governor
states, that he will Immediately commune
cate with the President of the United States,
and procure, if possible, an early and defin-
tive adjustment Of the boundary question.
lie comedies that portion of Miller coun-
ty may, on settlement, fall to Texas but
asserts, that our Government, since the pur-
chase of Louisiana, has always claimed and
exercised jurisdiction over it. and will never
peaceably surrender its claims until de-.
cison against it by an authorized tribunal.
The Arkansas Legislature has not yet act

The INDEPENDENT Treasury BILL
The Globe of Tuesday last, commenting
upon the vote in the House 10 lay the Treas
ury bill on the table, says On this pro-
position every member present adverse to
the principle of the bill voted with Mr.
PATTON. A rumor was abroad yesterday,
that an attempt ofthis sort would be made
by the Opposition to get rid of the bill at
once in this obique mode but it appears
not to nave been credited by many Of the
most devoted friends Of the measure, TWEEN
ty-two of them being absent when the sin
lister proposition was sprung upon the House.
The vote, however, is full Of ofencouragemen,
for the snccess of this vital measure, in
some shape. The vote to lay it on the ta-
Bile, stood-yeas I06, nays 9S.
Mr. Cray voted in the affirmative, so as
to be enabled to move reconsideration.
Mr.. GRAY was in favor Of the bill, and a
sainst laying on the table; so that the
vote Of those present stands, ayes l05, nays
90. There were 81 members absent 10
Of them opposed, and - in favor of the
bill so that, had all been present, whose
presence was expected, the vote would have
stood, ayes Is, noes l2l.
In addition TO the l2l, there were ? alb
sent from Mississippi, vacancies in Maine,
and absent from Louisiana, and the
Speaker, who did not vote, making 6 /;
which, being added to the l2l, would make
1877; so that if the House had been full
the vote would have been, in favor of laying
on the table ll5, and against it l27.
