The Tariff Debate.

UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE VOTE TO BE TAKEN
To-DAY-How THE REPUBLICAN MEMBERS STAND.
The tarin debate opened in the House to-day with
an interest not before accorded It The probable
result Of the vote on the motion TO strike out the
enacting clause OF the Morrison BILL TO be taken at
O'Clock, was the theme OF general discussion. Each
faction OF the democrats seem TO exaggerate the
strength OF the other Mr.. Carlisle was reported
to be under the impression that the bill would re-
celve its deathblow, and other reformers were
vous, while, on the other hand, many OF the most
prominent protectioniSts, both republicans and
democrats, declared that they had no hope
rson would be sustained by from three to
1--WE majority. THAT is too low an esti-
mate" said one OF Mr.. Randall's closest
friends and supporters, a thorough protectionist;
''they will beat US by larger vote than you lima
CINE"
With vote so uncertain the action OF the re-
publicans is discussed with the deepest interest,
and II Is thought by many that the change OF two
or three votes there would change the final result
Mr.. KaSSOn said to a STAR reporter this morning
that four, or possibly not more than three republic
the party, and give their support to Mr.. Morrison
II this should prove true Mr.. Morrison may have a
majority OF not less than seven, though there is
the greatest uncertainty surrounding the final
issue.
The California members OF the House held con-
proposed motion to strike out the enacting clause
OF the tariff bill Three members expressed their
determination to support the motion, one was un-
decided, and two were absent. The friends OF the
tarfn bin have hitherto counted upon the support
OF four members OF the delegation. Representative
OF the tar1n BILL has decided to support the motion
TO strike out the enact1ng clause.

The different tribes mingle to II
certain extent, and trade together.
At the time of the breaking out Of
the war there were a great mary
negroes in the Territory owned as
slaves by the Indians. When the
emancipation proclamation was
sem forth the Indians gave these
negroes rights co-equal with them
selves. Since then the two races
have been intermarrying more or
less according to the tribes among
which they are located. This in
termarriage has been most among
the Seminoles and least among the
Cherokees. Since this time the
negro has been increasing m~re
rapidly than the Indian, and he
will eventually outnumber him"
"How do the Indians manage
in regard to their land?"
"They are located, you know,
on reservations, the limits of which
are carefully defined. There is an
abundance of land tor each tribe
and the civilized nations average
about six hundred acres Of good
land for each family. Each tribe
holds all of its lands in common,
though the Indians have their midi
vidual personal property. The
land is divided into farms, at least
a great part of it is, and much Of it
is fenced and builded upon. An
Indian can improve a piece of land.
fence it and build houses and barns
upon it. He then has a title to its
use and he can sell this right to its
improvements and its product to
others. Many OF these civilized
tribes are good farmers and some
of the farms are very large. |
knew Of one il the Smith Paul
Valley which comprises three thou
sand acres under cultivation. Gov.
Harris, a full-blooded Choctaw, has
a farm running into the thousands
Of acres, a grist mill and a store.
And another Indian | know, a fine
ly educated man, who speaks Eng
lish well, has two thousand acres
enclosed, and uses it as u stock
