The committee on the A. J. Francis matter reported that they had accepted his note for the amount, which would be due on the 20th of Corn Moon, 383, and the Great Sachem was instructed to sue in case the note was not paid. A petition was received from various palefaces, colored citizens of Newport, praying for a charter to establish a Tribe. The petition was laid on the table. The Great Chief of Records reported as follows: Number of Tribes, 8; members, 480; adoptions, 57; reinstated, 2; admitted by card, 4; withdrawn by card, 10; expelled, 28; suspended, 72; rejected, 4; deceased, 8; Past Sachems, 8. The number of expulsions reported, not only at this, but at other councils, indicates that but little care was taken in the selection of the material of which the Tribes were composed. The finance committee reported that there was $132 in the hands of the Great Chief of Records not accounted for, and the Great Keeper of Wampum not being present, nor his books, an adjustment could not be reached. The election resulted as follows: Thomas A. Davis Great Sachem J. T. Follett Great Senior Sagamore John P. Phister Great Junior Sagamore C. H. Conn Great Prophet E. H. Meyers Great Chief of Records W. G. Stone Great Keeper of Wampum The council fire was then quenched. =1875.= TWENTY-SECOND GREAT SUN COUNCIL.
