Lamar Elected United states senator
Republican Movements

Special TO the Appeal
JACKSON, MISS, January J9.-In the
senatorial election to-day Lamar re.
ceived one hundred and eleven votes.
The Republican wire-wOrkers here have
created considerable dissension among
themselves by eDdeavOring to influence
Republican members to give GOmpli-
mentary vote to- Ex State Senator
Warner, for the effect it would have in
other quarters. Another. wirg sought
to have Alcorn Endorsed in Lnat Way,
but the Republican members declined
to vote for any one, aud were re-
corded as present and not voting. Moth
ing was done in either house, the day
being spent in DISGUSTING private relief
bills, none of which passed.
Press Dlspatch.l
JACKSON, January 1S.-The vote for
United States senator in the senate {:
Lamar, twenty two; Martin, one; in
the house: Lamar, ei2hty-nine, the re-
publican members voting blank. AT a
private caucus the Republicans decided
not to participate in the election of
senator on the ground that the late
election was carried by fraud and vio-
lence. One wing of the Republican
party desired to compliment Senator
Alcorn, while the other wing desired 10
pay General Alexander Warner, late
chairman of the Republican executive
committee, and ex.State senator and
major-generaI Of militia that dis
tinguished honor yesterday.
The attorney-general filed a bill in
equity, bringing to light the doings OF
the notorious land grab and fraud called
Pearl river navigation company, of
which Warner was treasurer. This
scheme snStched from the State large
sum of money, and the chief actors,
excepting; Warner, have left the
State. The bill and publication of par
ticulars created such sensation that
those who desired the compliment
could not stand the pressure. They
were equally averse to vote for Alcorn,
therefore the whole matter was compro-
missed by all hands voting blank.

THE full text Cf the bill introduced by
Colonel Young, providing for the build
ing Of the Memphis custom-house, is
published under the head Of Washing
ton, in another column. 1t is comIre-
hsnslve, plain and to the point, and we
hope will pass both Eousee. Memphis
has in this respect been too long neg
Iected by the government, aud should
not be any longer, in view Of the PuIlic
necessities and interests. We are quite
sensible ofthe Obligations Of cur patty

everything TO decrease, the public ex'
peadItures and burdens. Ia this case,
however, we have this to rest our claims
upon, that the bill Of Colonel Young
only revitsliz 5 aad strengthens acts al
ready passed, and that have long since
secured the general public sanction and

publican newspapers, which were expect
ed to greet it with sharp criticisms, ap-
pear, with the exception of few irrecon-

it produced no effect, and in political

HE DUsKY WARDS OF THE STATE.-The
state, as the natural guardians of the descend
ants of "Lo, the poor INDIAN" has the official
care of the Penobscot and the Passamaquoddy
tribes of Indians.
Geo. f. Dillingham;, agent of the Penobscot
tribe, reports to the Governor and Council that
the expenditures made the past year on account
OF the tribe. as required by law, amount to
$7,976. This does not include the fund derived
from leases of shores belonging to the tribe,
amounting to the sum of 81 1856. 49, nor the fur
Their sum of $545.S5, being the unexpended
balance derived from the same in 1878. These
amounts have been distributed among the
tribes per capita. Lola Coly, of the tribe, lost
his house and its fixtures by fire, being out of
pocket some thousand dollars, which the legis-
lature will be called upon to make good. The
census of the tribe shows that there are now
456 members, the number not varying materi-
ally from that of previous years.
On account of the extreme depression in all
kinds of business, wages for the labor of the
tribe have been dropping lower and lower, and
the demand for their baskets and other produc-
tions much lessened. The habits of industry,
sobriety, virtue, and other desirable qualities,
are more generally cultivated; more regard paid
to their personal appearance, manner of living,
etc.. and in every way they seem to be advanc-
ing in civilization.
VIM. Z. Hobart, agent of the Passamaquoddy
tribe, reports total expenditure of 4,519.64.
In consequence of business depression, it has
Deen very dlmcult Tor men to get employment,
as heretofore. The agent recommends appro-
priations for the purchase of wood, repair of
the chapel, repair of the priests house, finish
ing hall, and for repairs upon roads. Some
attention has been given to agricultural pur-
suits by portion of the tribe during the year,
but many have been engaged in hunting, fish
ing and the manufacture of baskets.
Among those who have died during the year
was Governor John Francis. He was eighty
five years of age, and had been Governor Of the
tribe forty-two years. In treaty made by the
different sections of the tribe, dated February
2Sth, 1852, it was stipulated that John Francis
should remain Governor as long as he lived,
and chat there should also be Lieut.. Cover
nor, to be chosen at Pleasant Point, to act with
Governor Francis; and that there should be
another Governor and Lieut.. Governor chosen
on the Indian Township i'll the summer of 1852,
and every fourth year thereafter. The treaty
also provided that upon the death of John
Francis vote of the whole tribe should be
taken, and the majority Should decide whether
to elect another Governor at Pleasant Point,
or to be content with the one living on Indian
Township, They now indicate desire to elect
another Governor at Pleasant Point, in accord
ance with the provisions of the treaty.
There are no changes of importance to notice
in the physical or social condition of the tribe.
They still continue to live upon good terms
with each other, and are generally peaceful
and orderly.-Kennebec Journal
