TAPPING THE UlKF.\ Wall by was the of The grand jury of the UnftedStates Court at New York yesterday made a presentment In reference to the Seawanbaka disaster which they charge that the criminal ca lessness and neglect on the part of certain government officials and owners of the ves sel was the cause of the disaster, and issued indictments against the parties charged for manslaughter. Bench warrants were issued for their arrest. A one thousand dollar South Carolina bond, which had been stolen from a South ern gentleman who had abandoned hi: homestead when Sherman passed through that 8tate, turned up yesterday on “ street, where It was offered for 6ale man refusing to give his name, and who arrested. Information was tiled with State authorities at the time of the stealing of the bond, and after the war the informa tion was sent North.

The order is represented as peaceful and harmonious throughout the State, and we notice among the officers elect the names of our fellow citizens, C. II. Dorsett G. 8. W., and J. 8. Tyson, G. T. Eleven persons have been arrested In con nection with the recent attempt to assas sinate Mr. Boyd, the Crown Solicitor for Ireland, among them three evicted tenants, two strangers and a woman, wbo was seen waving a handkerchief as a 6ign to the assas sins. (ieneral Roberts’ total force for the relief of Candahar numbers two thousand six hundred and thirty-six Europeans, seven thousand one hundred and fifty natives,aud eight thousand camp followers. General Roberts is confident of the success of his plans. A deserter from Ayooh Khan’s army has arrived at Candahar and stated that the troops of Ayoob fought among themselves over the spoils after the battle of Kashki Nakud, and that Ayoob was wounded In trying to separate them. The Porte has been invited by the powers to participate in coercive measures against the Albanians, provided they do not yield to the claims of Montenegro. The British Ambassador to Turkey has in formed Abeddin Pasha that the powers will not consent to any change In the Greek frontier as defined by the Berlin conference, and that consequently the new line pro posed by Turkey cannot be accepted. The defenses of Candahar have been com pleted and the garrison is supplied with provisions for thirty-five days with the ex ception of forage.

The debt paying wing of the Democrats of the Second Congressional District of Vir ginia nominated John Goode, the present incumbent, for Congress. Another attempt at assassination has been made in Ireland, a Justice of the Peace bav ing been shot at. Three bullets struck him on the breast, but inflicted no injary, as the Justice prudently wore a coat of mail. Burning naptha barrels from the vessels aflire at Pratt’s Oil Works on last Sunday came in contact yesterday morning with vessels loaded with lumber at Hunter’s Point, L. I.. and six barges,one schooner and one ship loaded with lumber, together with the extensive lumber yard and contents of the American Export Lumber Company, were destroyed. The sight was terribly grand, ten acres of flames licking up millions of dollars worth of property, and resisting all attempts to 6top its destructive ravages. The Commissioners for the United States International Exhibition in New York in 1883, met at the Governor’s room, at the City Hall, New York, yesterday, and dis cussed measures looking to the success of the great exhibition in 1883. Speeches were made by ex-Governor Potter and other distin guished representative men.

Mrs. John Williamson ,*a well known lady of Petersburg, Va., committed suicide yes terday by jumping from an upper story window of her residence. Domestic infe licity is 6ald to have been the cause of the Growing Southern State.—Re- from three of the four census dis- :>f North Carolina show a popula- l 1,036,701. against 48C.727 in the counties in 1870, an increase of 4, being a trifle less than 33 per This is an excellent showing, reatest increase is in Western North □a. the mineral and agricultural sea of which are being rapidly de- d. Republicans, when in control of »*s, ran the ordinary expenses of vernment up to $190,000,000 in over four dollars a head for every roman and baby in the country. 5, with only one House under their , the Democrats forced the ordi- ependitures down to $153,644,745. Principles not Men vs. Men not Principles. “Person -lisin” in politics is, of its n& tore, opposed to the fundamental Demo cratic principle “that the expressed will of the people shall govern.” It pro claims individual favor for, or hostile prejudices against, men or measures, as the case may be. We have all our likes aud dislikes, our loves and our hates but if we permit them to override the will of the people, we abandon, for that time, Democratic rule for Radical tyranny. Conventions are direct repre sentatives of the people, to carry out their intentions, and when there shall be a marked inclination in the convention for any man or measure, it may safely be assumed as the exponent of the will of the people. It is useless to urge against it, that the convention has been packed. This is true sometimes, but it generally turns out that the same packing in conventions is found afterwards at the polls. The two-thirds rule is a protec tion of the minority against a despotic majority, but it was never intended to give a factious minority the power to control the majority, and defeat the will of the people. With the two thirds rule the rest of the machinery belonging to it should be taken too. otherwise confu sion and anarchy will follow. We think our Gubernatorial Convention erred in adopting the two-thirds rule without its gearing, to wit: the closing the doors against new nominations, after a certain time, and dropping the lowest on each ballot until the candidates were reduced to two—one of whom would represent the favor and the other the opposition of the people to the leading candidate. If it is evident, the votes for the two can didates being nearly the same, that no definite choice of either can be made, then a compromise on one or the othe: or upon a third party is in order. By such proceeding we attain the object of the convention, the ascertainment of the people’s desire, and if the voting be so nearly divided that a result cannot be reached, the people have the satisfaction of securing a nominee, the mutual choice of their representatives, and a good man entitled to their confidence, avoiding the insult and injury of having a scrubby “ dark horse” foisted upon them—i scrubby “dark horse,” the modern in vention of political trickery and corrup tion! When, however, the exponent of the convention in favor of one candidate is almost two-thirds of the convention, and steadily held, the opposing one third split among three or four, if unreason ably continued, ceases to be Democratic and becomes “personally” factious. For there is one tiling certain, “that the peo pie who give a man near two thirds of convention will give him the same vote at the polls.” And as every man who goes into a convention and takes part in it to influence its proceedings, is bound in honor to stand by the result of the convention, even though it may be against his personal views, the success of the party will be secured if in the ascendancy. At any rate, its full strengtl: will be nearly developed. We have noticed through our political life that whenever the plain, honest rule: of the Democracy, for ascertaining and carrying out the will of the people, have been abandoned for the legerdemain of political juggling, just so surely has the party fallen into trouble. Its union and unity were destroyed by discords, and distrust banished confidence. As we are now trying to reorganize the National Democratic party on Gen. Hancock, why should we not also reintroduce into its government the good oid honest rules that governed the able patriot statesmen of the old Democratic school? Danger Ahead. It is stated that the Washington arse nal will very soon be taken from the hands of the < )rdnance Department and turned over to the care of General Sher man, in order that he may be able to tablish a large garrison of troops at the National Capital. This looks like dan ger ahead, and that the administration proposes to do what would have been done by Grant had Mr. Tilden been de clared President by the House of Rep resentalives in 1877. The arsenal in question is the deposi tory of large military stores, placed there by the government to supply the entire military establishments of the country including volunteers and militia. The only object of this move is to have under the shadow of the capital a large body of armed men, ready to obey the orders of the General of the army, even should these orders be the subversion of the rights of the people and of the republic. Hayes and Sherman had best beware, the country is not yet ready to consent to this shameful usurpation. If Hancock is elected he will be seated. The liberal grants made by the United States to railroad companies has prompt ed an Euglish company to make an offer to the Government of Canada to con struct the Canada Pacific Railroad, pro vided Parliament will grant them from fifty to one hundred million acres of the best land in the Dominion. The tract asked as a subsidy for the undertaking exceeds by twenty-two million of acres, the total area of Great Britain and Ire land. The proposal is not favorably re garded by the Canadians, many of whom pronounce the land scheme a stupendous fraud. The Toronto Globe' declares that no government consenting to such a gi gantic iand steal could stand for a single day. “There will be reconciliation prompt and complete between the North and South as soon as the South gives proof of a purpose to be faithful to the spirit of free republican institutions and of sub mitting in good faith to the government of the majority fairly ascertained. Boston Advertiser. Which means that the Republican party will be “reconciled” when the Democratic pai ty gives up its organiza tion in the South and all the members become Republicans; when the Demo crats will perjure themselves and swear that Hayes was elected ‘President in 1876, and that intolerance is liberality, fraud is honesty, bayonet elections free elections, and perjury and robbery the essence of truth and honor. Arkansas is the next Southern State upon which Gen. Weaver may try his hand. As the Independent-Republican- Greenback coalition proved so ineffec tive in Alabama, he might have better luck in a combination movement with Gen. Neal Dow. He couldn’t be teetp- tally whipped any worse in Arkansas than he has been in Alabama. The Arkansas election for State officers oc curs September 6th. A New Southern Enterprise.—A wealthy capitalist has erected at Chatta nooga, Tenn,, extensive works for the manufacture of mineral paints from the native Southern ores. The machinery is of the most approved and modern make, and has a capacity of from five to seven tons per day. The works have been in operation but a short time, and orders for the product have been entirely .satisfactory. Stealing Democratic Thnnder. The cool impudence with which the Radicals arc claiming credit for the present prosperous copdjtion of the country would be simply amazing, if anything in the way of “cheek,” of which that party could be guilty, could longer amaze. They are dwelling with extreme unction upon the increase of our foreign commerce, as if by their iniquitous navigation laws they had not done everything possible to drive Ameri can shipping from the seas; and are taking to themselves honor for our plen tiful crops, as if they were not bestowed solely by a benign and beneficent Provi dence. And not only this, but they prate with the greatest volubility over our decreased annual expenditures, the re duction in the public debt and in taxa tion, the tranquility enjoyed through out the country, while they even ac tually dare assert that the civil service has been reformed. For all these things they, with unblushing assurance, tell the voters that Radicalism is to be praised, and that it would be unwise at this time to take the control of affairs out of the hands of the Radical party. It is hardlv to be expected that the leaders and papers cf that party can hope to deceive an intelligent public with any such balderdash. The history of the past twenty years is well enough known to prevent anyone from being deluded. Let us briefly recall to mind the most salient features of that epoch. From the outbreak of the civil war in 1861 until March 4. 1876, the Radical party had unlimited and absolute control of the Executive, the Judiciary and the Legislative departments of the govern ment. During that time the country became noted only for wide spread corruption, dishonesty and fraud, and for the wildest travagancs in the expenditures of the public moneys. Friends were enriched from the public crib, and pampered favorites waxed fat and impudent, while the toiling masses every day grew steadily poorer, and suffered continually renewed privations; silver was de monetized in the interest of the few, and the country was flooded with a depreciated paper money. Finally the reaction came. The financial panic of 1873 was the result, and, just as the country was beginning to emerge from its effects, the forced specie re sumption act wus passed, and it was de creed that ruiuous contraction of the currency should set in—so that the green backs which the favored few had been able to accumulate might l>c legislated into gold in their hands—and the masses should be taxed still more heavily to pay in gold alone the untaxed cou pons of the bondholder. Immedi ately, and as a natural consequence, industry was prostrated, the wheels of commerce were clogged, thousands were thrown out ol employment, the tramp became a distinctive member of the body politic, and idleness and suffer ing were the rule. All this was brought about by the Radical party, and against this unjust and unwise legislation the Democratic minority was powerless to do anything but vainly protest, while the Southern States, trampled upon and held down by Federal bayonets, could do nothing either to promote their own or the general prosperity. This was the condition of the country when, on the 4th of March, 1875, the Democrats, having secured a majority in the lower House of Congress, took charge of the legislation of the country for the first time in fourteen years, though less than two years ago did they obtain en tire control by also having a majority in the Senate. At once they began to re trench public expenditures, and, though bitterly opposed by the Radicals, cut down the. expenses of the government over $50,000,000 per annum. This, how ever, was only the beginning of whole sale reform. In the course of four short years they have remonetized silver, thereby enabling resumption to be suc cessfully carried out; they have given us gold, silver and paper money, all worth one hundred cents on the dollar, and of sufficient volume to meet the de mands of trade; corrupt rings, wholesale defalcations of public officers, safe bur glaries and heavy subsidies to favorites have become, under their rule, things of the past, and, in consequence, the pub lic debt has been reduced, taxation has been lightened, idleness is comparatively unknown, and prosperity everywhere prevails. And these results have all been accomplished through the wise legislation of the Democracy, in spite of violent Radical opposition encountered at every step. We have herein cited simple facts, every* word of which can be substan tiated by history. Yet, in the face of such facts, the Radicals, after doing everything in their power to keep up sectional hate, hard times, turmoil and confusion in the lind, now have the effrontery to claim credit for a peace and prosperity which they were powerless to prevent. But nothing more is to be expected of a party which, after fos tering thievery and corruption in all their phases for fourteen years, even now presents to the people, as a Presidential candidate, a man convicted by his own feilow Radicals cf bribery and purjury, and, while doing so, prates of honesty as a desirable qualification in public officials. A Change Is Needed. In the course of an interview, Mr. Charles P. Nicboll, of Jersey City, who has been a Republican from the found ing of the party, says: “I am sick and tired of this continual waving of the bloody shirt, which keeps the two sec lions of the country divided, and, I be lieve, has seriously retarded the pros perity of both. I never was such a parti san Republican as to justify the keeping up of this sectional feeling between the North and South. It has only been kept up to retain certain officeholders in power. Not only so, but I believe General Hancock to be the better man of the two. They tell me he has had no experience in politics. Neither had General Grant when he was elected Presi dent, and at the close of his first term they weie anxious to elect him again. They tell me Garfield has had experience in politics. Judging fiom his record, as I have read it in the Republican papers for years—and if the Republicans do not believe them, who would they believe?— Gen. Garfield has had too much expe rience in politics already. I believe there is far less danger of Hancock being used by the South than there is of Garfield being used by corrupt poli ticians. I have talked with a score of influential Republicans, and, although I am not authorized to use their names, their general feeling is that a change is needed. It is fifteen years since the war was over, and yet the Republican leaders have kept on inflaming the North against the South. Any sensible man ought to know that the prosperity of this country can’t be what it ought to be while the North and South are thus divided.” Why Honest Independent* Will Vote for Hancock. Charles Francis Adams is not a parti sau, but a far sighted, clear headed ob server of the course of public events. His opinions are, consequently, as valua ble as interesting. He says: “I have no sort of sympathy with the Republican party because of that act because it justified and sustained it. After such an act I have no desire to sustain the Republican party in any way. I would not vote for a party that would carry through such a fraud. * * I have no enmity to Mr. Hayes, but after the fraud by which he became Presi dent I could uot vote for any person put up for President on the R* publican side who did not disavow the fraud com milted. I would not support any mcm her of that party who had any sort of mixture with that fraud. 1 feel that the counting out is just as much a fraud now as at the time it was perpetrated.* Holding such an opinion, it is not sur prising to find Mr. Adams saying in a re cent letter; “I propose to vote for Gen. Hancock because I cannqt vote for any party which has been tainted by fraud in the last election.” Mr. Adams is not alone in either his opinion or liis in tention. The great bulk of the Inde pendent vote will be cast for Gen. Han cock for the reason so tersely and clearly stated by Mr. Adams. And there some reason to believe that Mr. Garfield will not receive the full vote of his party, on account of his active and prominent share in the execution of the gieat fraud as visiting statesman and electoral com missioner. The Jesuit schools in Paris and the French provinces are closed for the holi days, but it is understood (writes a Paris correspondent) that when the police present themselves on the 30th of August, at the expiration of the two months’ extra grace allowed these estab lishments, they will find no Jesuits to disperse. It by no means follows, how ever, that the schools are to be abandoned for new pupils are entered for the Octo ber term; but in the meantime they will have nominally or really changed hands. They will still be the property of ecclesiastics; they will be conducted in the same spirit, and some, at least, of the teachers will be the same, but the schools will be the property of secular priests or of one of the recognized orders. This is just what was to be expected the name will be changed, the substance will l>e unaltered. The question whether these transfers are colorable or real, promises some legal skirmishing, unless, indeed, the government resigns itself to the virtual failure of its decrees, which, though first enforced against the non-teaching Jesuits, were mainly di rected against the Jesuit schools. A Centrifugal Butter-Maker.— An Anglo Swiss company, whose factory is at Cham, on the lake of Zug, and whose condensed milk is quite popular in Central and Western Europe, has undertaken lately the manufacture of centrifugal table butter.” This ma chine made butter is prepared from the early morning milking, by means of an American centrifugal machine, and is at once dispatched by rail to the hotels and market at Zurich, so that the freshest l ossicle butter in its utmost purity may be had by consumers many miles away a few hours after the milking. This is turning the American centrifugal ma chine to a new and unexpected use. The making of butter from fresh milk is frequently done, and it has been held that the aeration of the milk facilitates the production of butter from it. The Anglo-Swiss company appear to have been successful in both points. The Antiquarian Expedition to Mexico. — The antiquarian expedition sent to Mexico under the joint auspices of Mr. Lorillard, of New York, and the French Government to explore the ruins of temples and other imposing structures that were built by races whose very names are now passed away, has already gone to work, by permir-sion of the Mexi can Government. M. Charnay, the lead er of the expedition, has been causing excavations to be made qegr the volcano Popocatapetl, and has already un earthed from an Indian cemetery on that mountain copper idols, copper trinkets, vases of graceful forms beautifully painted, toys for children, and many jars and pots. One third of the articles found are, by agreement, to be turned over to the Mexican Government. Pho tographs of these relics have been taken, and are already on their way to New York and Paris. A Defense of Oakks Ames.—The three sons of the late Hon. Oakes Ames, of Massachusetts, have issued an elabo rate address to the American people upon the relation which their father did or did not sustain to the Union Pacific Railroad, and to the Credit Mobilier and to members of Congress. In the begin ning of the address Mr. Ames’ sons in quire: “When even General Garfield, in what purports to be an extract from his forthcoming biography, has totally failed to comprehend the facts, how can the public at large be expected to under stand them?” They give a history of the inception and progress of the enter prise, and maintain that their father was entirely innocent of any purpose to cor rupt members of Congress, and that he was a martyr to popular clamor. Senator Conkling Still Sulk ing.—General Garfield and Senator Conkling occupied apartments in the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, not thirty yards apart, all day Thursday, and there was a steady stream of callers upon both. But Senator Conkling paid no attention whatever to the near pres ence of the Republican Presidential can didate, and late in the evening appeared in the office of the hotel, settled his bill, and left for Utica without either calling on or sending his card to Mr. Garfield. New York’s lofty Senator is evidently still sulking in his tent. The English seem to have got into a trap at Afghanistan, and experience some trouble in getting out of it with any show of credit To secure a scien: tific frontier was the pretext for the in vasion of a territory to which the Queen had no claim. The next thing to be done is to invent some plausible excuse for the disasters which have overtaken the British arms. England has suc ceeded m converting a faithful ally into a dangerous foe, and in provoking the hostility of native chiefs, whose friend ship is greatly tQ be preferred to their enmity. The sharp advance in Bessemer steel pigs in European markets, if it is main tained, will probably lead to a corres ponding advance in the price of steel rails on this side of the Atlantic in con tracts for future delivery. Although the tariff now puts in the pockets of steel rail manufacturers $12 per ton of un earned profit, they wilj uqt hesitate to advance their prices to meet the in creased cost of pig iron in foreign mar kets. This is a kind of heggishness which protective tariffs do not protect us against The substances composing Dr. Tutt’s Liver Pills are derived from the Vegetable kingdom, and are particularly designed to act with gentleness and thoroughness upon the Stomach, Bowels, Liver and General Circulation.

Special Correspondence of the Morning Netcs. Jacksonville, August 9—a meritorious In vention has recently been patented by Mr. James Doig. of Gainesville. Alachua county. Florida, which must certainly attract the atten tion of the sea island cotton planters. Mr. Doig, who is a practical machinist, and who has been for a quarter of a century engaged in the preparation of this variety of cotton for market, has. after many experiments, succeed ed in making several improvements upon the McCtrthy gin, now generally used, that promise to be of very great practical value and utility, At present, it is considered a good day’s work to gin a bale of three hundred and twenty-five or three hundred and fifty pounds by the Mc Carthy machine, and to accomplish this, the seed cotton must be thoroughly dried. This at the rate of about thirty pounds per hour. Now to show the vast difference in the speed of Mr. Doig's gin, he claims that It will turn out from ninety to one hundred pounds in the same time, a gain of from sixty to seventy per cent. A notberad vantage is the application of steam to the seed cotton as it is fed to the gin. avoid ing any delay, or loss of time in damp weather, thus effecting a saving which will be readily appreciated by all accustomed to the business. Mr. Doig also asserts that he can, by his pro cess, get a larger proportion of lint from the seed than by the former method, which should be a weighty argument with those who raise this valuable de-cription of the great staple. Alterations can be made, even while in mo tion, in the adjustable portions of the gin. by which it can be appl ed to the preparation of either short or long cotton, although it Is doubtful if it will ever supercede the saw gin for cleansing green seed cotton. One of the new machines is now in operation at Mr. Doig’s works in Gainesville, where those interested can examine its work, and institute a comparison with the present style of gin. If the various advantages claimed by the Inventor can be sustained, and an acquaintance of many years with Mr. Doig enables me to spsalc In the highest terms of his integrity and capacity, he has certainly discovered a long sought desideratum. A machine that accom plishes in one day the same amount of work done formerly in three, and at the same time does it better, and with a saving of manual la bor. is certainly of great benefit. Mr. Doig is a brother of the first engineer of our crack steamer, the St. John’s, and will, I hope, be amply remunerated from his oontri bution to our industrial resources. According to the reporta of the census enumerators. Duval county shows a very grati fying increase in her population. In 1870 it was 11.C21—it is now 17,762, a gain of 5,841. The negroes are 2,160 in excess of the whites. This city, with the suburbs, loots up 21,116. From the returns now in. it is estimated that the Sta*e will show a population In the neigh borhood of 300,000. This is quite satisfactory, and will cause but little disappointment. It will compare favorably with most of the North ern and Eastern States. The up-river counties will show the greatest rates of increase, as it is in their direction that the stream of immigra tion tends. These are white counties also. The census in 1870 was taken very inaccurately and cannot be relied on. There wss one genius in Gainesville, who was deputized to count noses in four of the Southern counties. The rumor was prevalent, and generally credited, that this worthy never set his foot upon an inch of this territory, but that the returns were all prepared in his office at Gainesville This official drew upon his imagination alto gather for the imputation of these four coun ties, and also drew upon the appropriation for work never performed. His wire had a pecu liar Christian name, which he conferred on a hundred or more girls, while making out his returns, and which caused a considerable laugh at his expense. While here and there there may be some un avoidable inaccuracies, aud some disappoint ment in consequence of disappointment of ex pectations, the work of the census has been generally faithfully executed. The enumera tors were selected with fairness from the two parties and possessed the qualifications for properly discharging their trusts I see that the name of CoL W. T. Thompson, of the Muh.ni.so News, is again suggested as a candidate to represent the First district of i ieorgia in the next Congress. Nothing that I could say would add a leaf to the laurels he has won in a long and useful life, or increase the high reputation which he has so deserved ly earned The Savannah district could not send to Washington a represenlative whose familiar acquaintance with public affairs, whose extensive stock of general information, and whose high and unblemished character could accomplish more for and reflect greater credit upon his constituents than the gentle man named. It would be a fitting reward for a life passed in battling for the rights and in terests of his people, and would be a graceful recognition of bis valuable and arduous ser vices. The Colonel has many a friend in Flori da, and his nomination for this honor would give sincere pleasure to a host of admirers throughout the length and breadth of the Land of Flowers. Rust, to an alarming extent, ha* made its ,pj>earance in the cotton fields of the State, rniie that dreaded pest, the caterpillar, is suf ficiently numerous In Middle Florida to create considerable apprehension. Heavy rains aud damp, cloudv weather have prevailed for the last fortnight, just the conditions best adapted for the development and increase of this de structive insect. While the plant is two weeks in advance of last season, it is not yet suffi ciently matured to withstand the ravages of the dangerous worm, and the present glowing ant icipations of the growers may end in a sad fruition. It is somewhat of a reflection upon our boastei science and research that no steps can be devised to check the progress of this lit tie. puny creature, that can. in a week, lay waste thousands of broad acres, and in Its powers of destruction is not exceeded by a protracted drought or a furious tornado. King Cotton is a fine old monarch, but very inconstant in his favoritism. If he smiles on you to-day, be frowns to-morrow, and his most assiduous* courtiers are always doubtful of the length of time they can be permitted to enjoy the royal patronage. He is fickle and vacilla ting. giving to some a princely income, while others, equally worthy, are handed over to the merciless clutches ot the creditor and Sheriff. His old devotees, however, like infatuated gamblers, still cling fondly to the object of their idolatry, and despite many a harsh and hitter experience, pursue the glittering ignis fatuus to their ultimate destruction. There are many pursuits in this genial State of ours far more profitable, far more certain, and far less lat>orious than the cultivation of cotton. But it appears to have a sort of fasci nation about it which is hard to overcome. The number of those who have made money by raising cotton since the war is exceedingly small. For ray own part, I would infinitely prefer the profits from fifty acres of produc tive orange trees to the net income of the finest cotton plantation in Florida. At a recent meeting of the State Republican Executive Committee some very singular pro ceedings were instituted. Six members there of were quietly notified that their seats were vacated and that other parties were in posses sion. Those so summarily disposed or were certainly placed on the committee at Gaines ville by the State Convention, for I was there and took the list from the Secretary’s table. By what process or authority these six men were ousted. I have not been able to ascertain. This action has caused considerable talk, and the general impression seems to be that Col. Bisbee was the leading spirit in the affair. His influence is certainly potent In the party, for he has been made the Chairman of the District Executive Committee, and evidently intends to look af'er his own personal inter ests. Long experience has taught the ambi tious Colonel that he cannot trust, to any great extent, the faith of those by whom he is sur rounded, and he wisely concludes to manage affairs after his own fashion. He pays a very sorry tribute to the fidelity of his followers by the course he has taken, and it is very easy to understand why his number of attached friends is so wonderfully limited. This step, it is said, has been caused by his an tagonism to Conover, and the Legislative ticket put in the field in this county. It is rumored also that he is not a very warm admirer of Col. Bisbee, and will not strain himself to secure his election. Mr. Cheney has always been re garded as one of the ablest men and best work ers in the Republican party, and fiis late change of base pos-esses significance. The 3ro*>ze has been suspended for a week, and its publication will be resumed to day un der the name of the Telephone. Mr. Cheney, ex-Governor Reed and others have secured an interest in the paper, which will he oonducted. it is hinted, in active opposition to the Conover and Duval legislative tickets. Some rich de velopments may be expected, as Messrs. Che ney and Reed have both figured largely in the politics of the State since 1868, and are inti mately acquainted with the history of Conover. Thecurrent of opinion is being taken now among leading Republicans in the State to de termine if it is best to put up an independent candidate for Governor, or to permit the anti Conover men to vote as they please. As soon a* a definite oninion can be arriFed at, de cisive action wifi be taken. A convention is to be field in tlqs county next Saturday to put an independent Repub lican legislative ticket in the field. It is in con- tuinplation to put on the names of two or three Democrats, in the hope of wiuning thereby the support of the Conservatives, and electing a delegation wbo will more ably and worthily represent Duval at Tallahassee, than the can didates now before the people. The majority against the Democrats in this county is too large to be overcome, except by such a combination as is proposed. Whether suen a proposition will meet favor or not, will lerhaps be decided when the Democratic Coun- y Convention assembles on the 12th of Sep tember. Thu wing of the Republican* in Duv*l, who oppose Conover and thp present ticket for the Legislature, isgompased of the best material in the party, of both races. At present they present a united front and are resolute and ag gregsive. It is a question how many of tfiem will remain firm tnroagh the three months be fore the election. Party ties and party disci pline will doubtless bring many back into ranks, although a large proportion will stick closely to the colors which they have hoisted. About a month since Dr. Hicks’ bouse up the river was burnt. As soon as the disaster was announced many expressed the opinion that the parson would not permit such an opportu nity to escape for manufacturing political capital Sure enough, this vivacious divine has been up in Pennsylvania telling some ter rible tales P f threatening letters and of the persecutions to which he has been subjected, on account of his Republican proclivities. It is said that be lost quite an extensive and valu able theological library, which statement is hard to credit, as the evidence of his acquaint ance with their contents has never been visible. It is known, however, that he had effected insurance on the property destroyed to the amount of over four thousand dollars, and that he will be no loser. In fact, it is whispered around that he may find some difficulty in getting an immediate settlement from the companies that, had taken the risks. ye will ossmne the role of the martyr, and dofibtless draw im.ny a graphic*picture, A3 hs fias done before, of the penis and dangers of his life among the bloody Ku-Kiux. Proposals have been invited by Gen. Gill- more for the jetties to be constructed at the mou^h of the St. John’s, and the work will probably be commenced this fall. Gov. Bloxh&m is canvassing the West, CcL Davidson is at work in Middle Florida, and Gen. Finley is on Indian river. The campaign, on our side, has fairly opened, and will be thorough. Thus far the efforts of the Republicans have been sporadic. W. H. B. 3Uu> Admtisfmcnts. HRtt NEWS SEBIllS. Claming; to Story. TOE HE.1THERC0TES. BY MISS 31 AT CEtIM, OF ATLANTA.
