The Memphis Appeat thus glowingly
eulogizes this accomplished orator:
Colonel Lamar has been the pattern,
the model of II true Southern man.
With the sagacity Of u statesman and
the eloquenee of an orator. he has
turned his whole attention to resusci.
tated and a rehabiltated country. He
is regarded as one of the ablest sons Of
the South, which is unanimous in Its
desire to see him elected to the Senate
The highest type of Southern intellect
should adorn the Senate of the United
States. Lamar would make worthy
ally to Gordon. The distinguished sou
Of Mississippi is one of our most fin.
ished, sparkling and logical orators.
He commands the inspiration that
graces the orator, and when he
speaks men of all parties hang
upon his utterances. Elect Lamar
to the Senate of the United States,
and he will rise to new efforts
and new triumphs. His speeches in
that august body would never perish
or be forgotten. Never was Grecian
or Roman story told In more exquisite.
~ chosen words than one of Colonel
Lamar orations in the House of Repre-.
sentativee. He struck every patriotic
pulsation of the national heart, and in
chaste and glowing sentences immor-
talized himself sanctified his coun.
try's cause, healed the lingering
wounds of sectional arrangement, and
inaugurated that feeling of reconcilia-
ton which blazed out at Bunker Hill,
illuminated the stress of Boston, and
gave to the Democrats IA majority in
the House of Representatives. We
cannot believe the Legislature of Mis-
sissippi Will defeat such a man. His
election would only be browning him
with laurels worthily bestowed, for if
l.. Q. G. Lamar does not deserve pro-
motion, patriotism is a myth, and
fame, reputation, and valuable services
are bubbles unworthy of respect.

years of animated discussion. The
restraints were carefully devised, They
have been useful, and, ia the main,

nearly twenty-four millions, In 1876
they will bc reduced to ten aud quar-
ter millions, The convention consider
cd plans for applying such restrictions

injunction has been uneXecuted; and
In 1876 the city OF New York has u
debt OF one hundred and twenty-five
millions after deductIng lts sinking
funds, against a debt Of less than four

OF the State owe sixty millions, and
many counties and towns are alo large

constitutional restrictions on the crea-
ton Of State debts, ! might be permit
ted, in honor OF the illustrious dead, to
trace the moral, our experience has
since proved, OF the utility Of their
work but have recounted the results
to show that the policy was then, and
now Is, absolutely necessary to the
safety Of the people In all State and
local governments.
The result Of constitutional restric-
tions such as are embodied in our or
ganic law has been the means ofreduc-
ing the taxation for State purposes

dollars in New York.

A correspondent of the Atlanta Con
stitution, who spent Christmas al
"Liberty Hail." Crawfordville, Geor.
gia, with Hon. Alexander II. Stephens
writes: "Mr. Stephens is suffering
much from bad cold. He had ca
tarrahal fever at first, but | think the
fever has now left him, however, in a
very debilitated condition, and with
the cough unchecked. DR.. Steiner was
expected up when | left. l hope that
as soon as he shall be rid of his cough
he will rapidly convalesce. Notwith-
standing the frequent and prostrating
attacks of sickness, he continues to
evince the liveliest interest in every
thing that concerns his people. His
heart goes out to them, and embraces
them all collectively and Individually.

of this during my visit. He is confin-

about public affairs. He is anxious,
however, to get on to Washington
City. While talking with him of State

was somewhat surprised to hear him
express himself with much vehemence
against the two-thirds rule. Why

you favored that rule.' Never said
he, never. Railways opposed it. 1t is
utterly undemocratic, and no Democrat

why it was ever adopted In our Ma
tional Convention was simply to pre-
serve the harmony ofDemocratic theo.

majority nominated in the National
Convention, it might happen that it
would not be a vote of q majority of

rule was adopted in order to make sure

Senator Dorsey, of Arkansas, has
prepared and will introduce this ses-
sion bill for the opening of the In
dian Territory to settlement. 1t pro-
vldes for Territorial Government,
with the right of suffrage secured to ali
civilized Indians and to all persons
who are legally entitled to settle in the
Nations. All the land is to be divided
among the Indians, heads of families
receiving 100 acres more than single
persons, and 100 acres of the land giv-
EN- to each Indian is secured from
alienation for twenty years. Two Sec
lions In each township are reserved
for school purposes and placed in
charge of the Territorial Legislature,
with the provision that none OF the
proceeds may be used for sectarian
schools. Senator Dorsey will make
no effort to secure the early passage of
the bill, but Introduces it for the pur-
pose of getting the subject before Con-
gress In a definite form, and In the
hope that II will meet the approval of
the inhabitants of the Territory. As

ed aud urged by Colonel Boudlnot, the

The Secretary of the Interior having
closed all coal mining operations in
the Indian Nation 1t will behoove our
Dallas company to look elsewhere for
its supplies. We would suggest to them
the propriety of opening the fine field
of coal in Robertson county just one
hundred and thirty miles south of
Dallas. This coal makes the finest fuel
and may serve every purpose of the
gas company. 1t is known as brown
coal, and burns very rapidly.

ton looking to the appointment of a
committee of five to Investigate the
official conduct of Governor Ames, and
to ascertain what grounds exist for the
charges against him Of committing
high crimes and misdemeanors. Adel-

THE unanimous nomination of
Lamar by the caucus of the Mississippi
Legislature was made amid the widest
enthusiasm. The selection is one Of
the best and was not wholly unanti-

friends in the most graceful manner

stalk Cornct Band, at the Court
House, on the evening of the 22d Of
February. We were present and
we're gratified at thp apprcciativc au-
dicncc, that greeted our home Band.
The room was dcnscly packed, and
the audience composed Of the citi.
zcns Of the town and its vicinity,
gave them their utmost attention.
We are candid in saying that the
Band excelled themselves, and won
the admiration of the large assem-
blcd congregation Of people. Itwould
be inyidious, to make special men
ton of the performers, and We trust
our readers viii pardon the space we
give in our paper this week, in max
ing special mention of each and cv-
cry one WHO took part in the Con
cert. lin the outset VIC will shy, the
Concert was given for the payment
of some outstanding debts against
tho Band, which they have been de-
string for some time to pay, and We
are gratifed to know they have OK
cccdcd their most sanguine cxpecta-
lions. The opening prelude, was n
Quickstep, the "star,' played by the
whole Band, which was well render
cd. The second piece a Quartettc,
an aisles DER archcd with living
green" The party composing the
Quartcttc were Mrs. w. L. Hill, Mrs.
NJ. II, Hale, A, c. NanGildcr and W.
+. Bickcl. The song was elegant
and the performers acquitted them
selves with much grace, and rccciv-
the applause of the house. Next
came Mrs, ]. c. Kuhn, an accomp-
lishcd pianist, who played the solo
of champagne Charlie Gallop,"
which was performed most admira-
bly,, and also received the plaudits of
the audience. The Duct cardboard
Watch" sang by McssrS. NourSc and
NanGildcr, was a fine rendition, and
elected the cconiums of all present.
We must compliment these gentle
men on their proficiency in the art
of vocal music. Piano Duet "Soircc
Polka was splcndidly performed by
Miss Vcnic Thomas and iittlc Maudc
Tomlinson, daughter of Major w.
II. Tomlinson. Miss Thomas is nc
knowlcdgcd toabc one Of the most en-
ccllcnt pinnists inthis section, and
the performances Of Miss Maudc, is
accounted for from lefact, that she
has been u pupil of Miss Thomas
The Duct, of "Jwo Merry Girls" was
well rendered by Mrs W. L. Hill and
Miss Jessie Thomas. The first of
whose vocal talents we have spoken,
md the latter is not u whit behind
her Cornct Solo, "Exilcs Lament"
was well played by W. S. Hoy, a tai.
cntcd young musician, who stands
first In the Band, and we predict for
him many laurels in the profession.
Miss Jessie Thomas sang we'll, the
beautiful piece Of music, "Im a Mcr-
