ELECTION OF ER. L. Q. c. LAMAR TO THE
UNITED STATES SENATE-THE REPUBLI-
CAN MEMBERS REFUSE TO VOTE,

JACKSON, Miss, Jan. 18.-Vote for United
States Senator in the Senate: Lamar %, Mar
tin l. In the House: Lamar 80, the Rapub-
lcan members voting blank.
1t is said Q private caucus OF Republicans
decided not to participate in the election Of
United States Senator on the ground that the
late election was carried by fraud and vio-
lence. One wing of the Republican party de-
sired to comp liment Senator Alcorn, while the
other wing desired to pay Gen. Alexander
Warner, late Chairman Of the Republican Ex-
eoutive Committee and ex-Ssate Senator and
major general of militia, that distinguished
honor.
JACKSON, Jan. 1S.-Yesterday the Attorney
General filed bill in equity bringing to light
the doings of notorious land grab and fraud
called the pearl River Navigation Com
pany," Of which Warner was Treasurer. This
scheme mulcted the State out Of large sum,
and the chief actors, excepting Warner, have
left the State. The bill and publication Of
particulars created such sensation that those
who desired to compliment Warner could not
stand the pressure. They were equally averse
to voting for Alcorn. Therefore the whole
matter was compromised by all hands voting
blank.
Witnesses have been summoned to appear
before the committee investigating the charges
against Gov. Ames and Superintendent Of
Education Cardoza.

Boston to present to Southern military organ

the freedom Of the city, and who said: eve

Jr, chairman, in his remarks said that what
ever differences mighehave arisen between
the North and South they were now bound
together again in unity and brotherly love
in new, flrmer and more enduring bonds than
ever before.
On receiving the banner, Capt Hodges, of
the Blues, said that while the Blues were its
custodians Virginia and the whole South were
its recipients, and he was anxious that it be-
known that not only are the ladies of the
South ready to meet the committee and those
they represent half way, but their husbands,
brothers and all the men of the South are
ready and anxious to clasp hands with the
women and men of the North, and that, be
the course Of demagogues and malcontents
of either section what it may. We understand
each other and defy their efforts to sever US.

number of ladies and gentlemen of the city.

one for such night. The acting exhibited

mansion for several years, and never hesitates
to throw a skillet at the old gentleman's head
to establish her supremacy. The young man

self, and married bright yellow widow, who
is fully able to support Frank and her two
children by washing and ironing. For some
reason the old lady, not approaching what a
good match Frank had made, locked him up
at home, and would not let him go to his
bride. He managed to send word to the widow
to get him out if she could, and she has been
wandering about her native alley ever since in
high state of indignation, but knowing the
fiery temper of her mother-in-law too well to
make bold attack on the premises and carry
her Frank away by force. The mother-in-law
wants Frank to marry some one with property.
Things are in this situation at present, and it
is uncertain whether the widow will remain
constant until Frank is released.
