The Albany News ancl Advertiser learns that
• ue Alexander Simpson, colored, was killed on
Friday last under the following circumstances:
The deceased, who was employed as a timber
cutter at Mr. Clegg's mill, thirteen miles above
Albany, in Lea county, was, on the after
noon in question, cutting timber in a swamp.
A large tree which he had nearly cut down
had lodged against some adjoining timbers,
which male it uncertain for an instant which
way it was going to fall. Mr. Clegg was near
by, and he and the negro both ran to avoid the
tree, but the negro was caught under it as it
fell, and instantly killed.
The Elberton Gazette says that last Monday
night a negro girl living on the plantation of Mr.
R. F. Tate, in Elbert county,gave birth to a male
child that weighed only a pound and a quarter,
was barely eight inches long, and whose foot
did not exceed an inch aud a quarter in
length. It was born alive, and, if it survives
and retains its proportions, will prove probably
th; smallest mortal extant. The Gazette
thinks that is an item for Barnura.
,The local of the LaGrango Reporter reports
that he saw at West Point last Friday a spotted
negro woman. One portion of her neck and
fice v.vs white and the other bia^-k. Her
skin where the white an J black met was pink.
She appeared to be about twenty five years
old and was hideously ugly.

The August t Chronicle says quite a serious
accident cc :urred Sunday a few miles from
that city up the Savannah river, which re
sulted in the death of a colored man named
Gus Williams. It seems that several parties
were in a bateau, paddling up tb«» river, when
the unfortunate man pointed out to a young
gentleman, who was-one of the party, a flock
of ducks, and. while attempting to raise a gun
which was in the boat, it went off, discharging
its entire load into Williams’ head.
A large crowd assembled at Jefferson, Jack
eon county, last Thursday night to be present
"ti the following day at the expected hanging
of John 13. Arthur, for the murder of Mrs. Su
san Hill some weeks since. The Forest Neics
siys that early on the morning of the day of
ex cation the crowd began moving in from
every quarter of the globe, until by eleven
o'clock the streets were jamm--1. They were
all disappointed, however. On Thursday
night a messenger from Goveri op Colquitt put
in an appearance with a respite until Friday’,
the INth inst. The respite was granted on the
ground that since the conviction and sentence
of the prisoner it had been claimed that at the
time of the murder Arthur wa3 insane, and
not responsible for his actions, and that be is
still insane. An investigation into his mental
condition will be made, and if the claim is not
sustained he will suffer the extreme penalty
of the law on the day above mentioned.
The G reensboro Home Journal hears of a good
deal of cotton being lost ia Greene county for
the want of pickers. It says : "If some of the

more money in circulation.'’

We mentioned last week the tragic end of
Mr. James D Trammell, who lost his life by a
boiler explosion, which occurred on his place
near West Point. The West Point Press relates
further particulars of the -adaffmr as follows:
"Mr. T. had a Saw mill and a gin, both of which
were mov^d by the same engine. While he
was giving orders to the negro fireman to
change the belting from the mill to ihe gin
wheel, the explosion occurred. Sir. Trammell's
head was cleft by its force, and his body blown
into the upper part of the building. He was
mangled beyond recognition. His wife reached
him first, and the sight of her agony—holding
his torn head and stained with his blood—was
indescribably affecting. We learn that Mrs. T.
is very ill from the shock. The negro was
blown some distance, and one of his arms
wtvached from his bodyr T fw remains of Mr.
Trammell were buried at Sharon church. He
was a valuable citizen, and bis untimely death
is lamented by all.
West Point Press: “On last Wednesday,
about 5 o’clock p. in., our citizens were startled
by the news of an awful accident, by which
two negroes— Henry Whitaker acd Boss Win
ston-had been killed and a inule crushed.
The scene of the calamity was at the excava
tions iu the steep hillside near Mr. O. D. Win
ston’s residence, where (he city hands were
getting dirt to fill a citeh m ar by. The ne
gro s were in the employ of the city and en
gaged in this work. By continual undermining,
a rock ten or twelve feet long and about five
feet wide and deep, had been loosened, aud it
was the falling of ibis ro-k which destroyed
two human lives. A third negro escaped by
quick running. The sight was a terrible one.
It required hard digging by many hands to un
earth the mangled bodies of the unfortunate
men, and it was hearti ending to hear the
w iis of their relatives We learn that Henry
Whitaker is the fourth son of Phil. Whitaker
who fas died within a short time. Truly this
deeply afflicted colored man deserves the sym
pathy of all. Tb-i mule an 1 cart belonged to
the city. In all our journalistic experience we
have never been called upon to chronicle so
fearful an accident within the limits of our
town.”
Dublin Gazette; "Last Sunday evening,
about 4 o’clock, the Yalumbroza place, once
the home of Governor George M. Troup, was
destroyed by fire Colonel Robei t Wayne, who
married the granddaughter of Gov. Troup,
was at the time proprieror of the old man
sion, but at the time oT the fire he am his ram
i' y were absent from home. The origin of the
fire must, from surrouncing circuais’ances,
have been from eirelessnt ss of a servant.
Colonel Wayne left in the morning and ordered
that • iuner be served by his return at 5 o’clock
Preparations were being in-Hie for it when
the cook was called to tbe front gate, which
was about two hundred yards from the bouse,
and at the head of an avenue of large spread
ing water oaks. It is supposed th it she must
have built a large fire, which heated the stove
pipe, aud ignited in this way. Nothing scarcely
was saved, as no one was at home. Neighbors
came a distance of two miles. The family
pictures and silver ware of the old Governor
wen* lost. The large oaks, the pride of the
ol i homestead, were many killed and others
badlv injured. Colonel Wayne’s loss, h 1
forms us, cannot be replaced with Jess than
$'»,0u0, aud only $2,500 insurance. Colonel W,
has certainly been unfortunhte, this being the
fourth fire within the last e'even years in this

According to the Tampa Tribune, General

The Live Oak Bulletin reports that on last
Tuesday morning while most of the.citizens of
the town were at breakfast, an alarm was
raised that the prisoners were escaping from
the jail, and very soon quite a posse were in
pursuit of the fugitives. In about an hour
three that had escaped were safely returned to
their quarters. On examining the jail it was
found that they had broken the chilled bars of
the steel clad.cage in which they were con
fined. Four were confined but one refused to
escape and remained in the jail. They had
managed to break off an iron bar which ran
along the inside of the cago, upon which the
hunks were suspended, and with this they
broke the bars of their place of confinement.
Miss Maggie C. McKinnis has severed her
editorial connection with the Hamilton County
Times. *
Ocala Haulier: “We publish"an article else
where which gravely charges Mr. Simon B.
Conover, the present Republican candidate for
Governor of Florida, with embezzling the pub
lic funds while Treasurer of the State. The
article is taken from'the Tallahaseee Sentinel
of September, and was written by the
editor. Mr. Samuel B. McLin, who was elso
Secretary o’ State, and a conspicuous member
of the Republican party at the time. Mr. Mc
Lin would hardly have made so grave a charge
without good evidence to.go upon.”
Says the Madison Recorder: "While at the
train on Wednesday night we were informed
by Conduct >r Verkins that about one mile
west of Greenville his train was fired into
twice that night, breaking two panes of glass,
hut striking no one 31 r. Perkins also in
formed us that while making his regular trips
his ti^in is frequently brickbatted by parties
concealed In the bushes near the track. Th s
is a s-rious nuisance, and the proper officials
should take the matter in hand, for at some
time some one may be dangerously injured, or
perhaps killed, besides damaging the coaches,
etc.”
Quincy Star: ‘‘Dr. C. J. Kenworthy, in an
article concerning the high hammock lands of
cur State, says: ’The soil is almost identical
with that of the best tobacco growing sections
Of Cuba. The < jjinatels adapted to its culture,
seed is obtained from Cuba, and we opine that
the time is near when the Florida weed wilt bo
iu demaud at remunerative pric* s. Our expe
rience as an old smoker has led us to believe
that- Florida tobacco, grown from imported
seed, is more fragrant and less rank than the
Cuban product.' If in ten years from now to
bacco culture should be one of the most remu
nerative agricultural interests in Gadsden
county, our farmers may well observe then
that they would have been much better off if
they had given attention to it sooner.”
Hamilton County Times: “That indefatiga

Monticello Constitution: “On last Sunday
morning about one o'clock oqr citizens were
startled from their slumbers by a fire alarm,
sounded by the court house bell. Residing
adjacent to the public square we were sqon on
the street, and meeting policeman Whitaker,
desired to know where tne fire was. ne as
sured us there was no ft r e. but that the alarm
had been g;ven to call out the citizens to sup
press a threatened riot; that he had been en
deavoring to suppress it for hours, but the
crowd was increasing beyond his power to
control, and that he needed assistance. On
reaching Cherry street a considerable Dumber
of whites an-i blacks were discovered, several
of them undt-r the influence of liquor, but
with the exception of Di-k Simpson, colored,
who was hurrahing for Bloxham, apparent
quiet and good order prevailed. The
ringing of au alarm bell may have had
a tendenc? to cool the passions of the
rioters. Of this we know not. We expected,
as was natural, that on Monday a large num
ber of the rioters would be introduced to tbe
Mayor, and that His Honor would be under
the painful necessity of inflicting serious
ptminhmene on a score or more of turbulent
spirits. Therefore imagine our reporter’s sur
prise when the court was announced ready,
and only two men were arraigned for a viola
tion of sections 1 and 2 of Ordinance 6—intoxi
cation and disorderly conduct Not a solitary
case for rioting: The fire alarm, however*
clearly demonstrated the fact that a large
number of citizens can be rallied at any hour
of the day or night in case of emergency J*
We pub’ished last week a short account of
the tragic death of Mr. R. E. Webster of 3Iait-
land. The Orange County Reporter gives
further details of the painful affair as fol
lows : ‘ In company with his brother-in-law,
Mr. D. Harper, 3Ir. Webster was engaged in
sinking a well. They had dug down about
twelve feet, aDd were putting in a circular
platform on which to lay a wall of brick Mr
W. was at the bottom and 3Ir. Harper was get
ting cement ready to lay the brick in, when
on*- side of the well caved in, covering Mr.
Webster, who happened to be in an upright
position, to the depth of a foot or two above
hi.- head Mr. Harper at once went down the
shaft to the assistance of bis brother-in-law.
After digging for a time he succeeded in un
covering the head, arms and shou'-ders
of Mr. Webster, who was not'yet seriously
hurt. He was able to talk, and assisted
in getting a rope about his body under
bis arms. This done, Mr. Harper and Mis.
Webster attempted to draw the man out of the
sand which embedded him. by the aid of the
windlass: but just at this time the opposite
side of the well caved in. and again covered
the unfortunate man. With all the assistance
to be ba1 it was some time before the < irt
could again be cleared away, and when the
head and face was once more uncovered life
was almost extinct. A faint gasp or two was
the only sign of life the man made. It was
nearly four hours before the body could be un
earthed and raised from the well, and the man
had then l>een dead for some time. 3Ir. Web
ster bad been a resident of Maitland nbmt five
years. He was US years of age. He leaves no

were greatly attached to him mourn bis un

Washington, October 17.—Oae of the tran
scendent qualities of the Democratic party is
that defeat does not phase it. It knows when
it is beaten, but takes a stronger pull together
and goes on again. Thi3 was never better evi
denced than in the afterclap of Indiana and
Ohio. The result in both States was a complete
surprise to leaders and members of the party.
In any other body of men it would have been
demoralizing. The way 3Iaiae went knock
ed the Republicans off their feet for weeks.
The way Ohio and Indiana piled up Re
publican majorities surprised Democrats,
but tney kept their feet. The sur
prise was complete, hut it carried not demorali
zation with it. The Democrats rubbed their eyes
and set to work again The Republicans have
jubilated and said: "We have got’em in No
vember without a doubt.” No Democrat ad
mits a defeat in November based on what Oc
tober did last Tues ay. They do not spend
valuable time in explain ng how negro coloni
zation and the corrupt use of money carried
the day against them They take up the sword
and buckler and prepare for a bi-ter fight in
November. After thinking over the result of
last Tuesday the Republicans are beginning to
admit in a quiet way that “whils it was a big
thing, the action of the Democrats
makes the result by no means
certain.” They have to fight one of the
most plucky organizations that ever brought
victory out of defeat. They are realizing this
and beginning to stop crowing so much, and
are setting to work. They find that their op
ponents, the supporters of constitutional gov
ernment. are ahead of them. They set to *
work with redouhled energy as soon as they I
quickly recognized bow things were. Tbe De
mocracy in New York is united, which means
victory in November. The fc^tate of New Jer
sey is Democratic Connecticut is not Demo
cratic beyond doubt, owing to the prestige of
the Indiana and Ohio elections, as tending to
the beaefit of the Republican party, but it is
very good fighting ground. The extensivi
West has been neglected by the Re
publicans. while the Democrats hare
nad their eye turned toward the setting sun
many a day. Nevada will go Democratic, ac
cording to the very brst advices, and the
State of California is, owing to Republican dis
sensions, as safe to be put in the Democratic
column as in the Republican. In facr, it is not
crowing before getting out of the woods to say
that California is now far more to be relied on
by the Democrats than by the Republicans.
Thus the boast of Republicans that Garfield is
already elected does not amount to much.
The principal cause for Democratic hope is to
be found in the fact th tt the leaders aud the
party redoubled th^ir energies while the
Kepublic<ms were lying on their arms
and holding a grand caurousal over tlie favor
able result of a skirmish. The battle is not
over. There have been two skirmishes. In the
Maine affair the Republicans were demoralized,
in the Indiana and Ohio affair the Democrats
were surprised, but caught their breath and
went right to work with an energy which can
not but tell.
MORE BLOOD MONEY.
The clerks in the various departments of the
government have been feeling almost too good
to live about the Indiana and Ohio elections.
They have grinned so that you could almost
se.i tlftdr mouths split. Now has come a frost.
In the mtdst of the extended smile
has come a notification from the Republican
Congressional Committee that another assess
ment—this time of one per cent, on their
salaries—is expe :ted for camptign purposes.
They don’t feel as well as they did. for they
know that either the money «r their places
have to be given up. They will of course pay
tli-* money. Wall street and monopolies
readily contribute money to the Republican
cause for .value received and a hope of con
tinuation of their bleeding of the people under
Republican rule: but not content with the
enormous sums raised in this way, the Repub
lican management again turns upon the gov
ernment employe and demands his
money or his place. The contest be
tween the two parties is one of the rich and
monopolist class against th- small monied ani
working class, who form the majority of our
population, but out of whose rights of suffrage
there is every attempt to defraud and brow
beat by the party that calls itself the party of
civilization,
THE FIRST GEORGIA DISTRJCT.
3Ir. J. T. Collins, the Republican nominee for
Congress in the First Georgia district, has writ
ten several letters to the Republican Congres
sional headquarters which squat on F street in
this city. He says that he is making a goo l
canvass for Congress and predicts his
election. The poll tax of the negroes is bein^
paid off as far as the money at his command
will allow, and with some pecuniary help he
has no doubt ttat he will be returned. He
says the presence of an independent Democrat
in the canvass will insure a “fair count of the
colored vote.” The committee believes him,
and in its calculations that the Republican
parly will have the next House, puts qowd the
First Georgia district as one of those that will
be gained from the Democracy.
FLORIDA.
The Democrats of Florida should not be
sleepy or relax (heir efforts in the coming elec
tion iR'causo they are sure of success. The

Miuor Political Notes.
Peterskuro, Va., October 19.—The Bead
justcre’ Congressional Convention foe the
Fourth district of Virginia, to nominate a
candidate for Congress,which met at Burke
ville last August, but, without making a
nomination, adjourned to meet at the same
place yesterday, was not held. It is thought
that the Readjusters will make no nomina
tion.

Atlanta, October 19.—To-day proved
delightful day. The exhibition halls are
filling up slowly, although toje are quite
barren as yet. Ludden ifc Bates, of Savau
uah, make a splendid display of pianos,
organs and music in the main ball. Quite
number of Savannah people were at the
fair to-day.
The military display was delayed some
three hours. The troops marched from
the camp to the city, and thea to the
Fair Ground, nearly four milea for most of
the companies, and great dissatisfaction was
expressed at this hardship. Four regi
inents were formed, all iu com
mand of General Henry J. Hunt,
U. S. A., of the Fifth Artillery, one light
battery of which was present, and' fired
salute. Governor Colquitt reviewed the
brigade. It was a magnificent display.
The Washington L’ght Infantry and the
Detroit Light Infantry, splendid corps in
uniform and drill, created great applause,
as did also the venerable Putnam Phalanx
and the 6ix Old Guard. But for the long
delay, and the march out, the affair
would have been creditable in every
sense. The crowd of spectators was
much amaller than was anticipated.
The races were better to day and had
larger attendance. The first race, a mile
and a half dash, was won by Wampo in
2:53%, Alaska second. Blanton ran Into
fence and hurt his rider in the foot. Tbe
second race, two miles and a quarter, was
won by Jim Malone in 4:07%, John Carter
second. The third race, a mile dash, was
won by King Dot chin an In 1:54%, DuplicAc
second, John Carter third, Texas Kate
fourth. This was tbe best and most exeii
ing race. Dutchman and Duplicate ran al
most neck and neck.

By Telegraph to the Morning News.
Chicago, October 19 —The new features
of the railroad war are as follows: The
Wabash Road sells tickets to St. Louis and
return, good for three days,for four dollars.
The Alton Road sells limited tickets to
Omaha via Kansas city for $0 50. Tbe
Wabash reduces its rate to Hannibal
to three dollars. The Alton Road sells
through tickets to T>oInts west of Kansas
City at an advance of only fifty cents on the
regular rate from that city to the Western
terminus, making tbe fare from Chicago to
Kansas City only half a dollar. Outgoing
trains on the warring roads are so crowded
that they have to be run !n sections.
New York, October 19.—The /W’.s finan
clal article says : “As we write the repre
sentatives of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy, Wabash aDd Union Pacific system
of roads are In conference in this city
seeking a settlement of the existing differ
ences which threaten not only the revenues
of the Western roads, but incidentally of
some of their Eastern connections. We are
told that what may be called a treaty of
peace for ten years is the end which tbe
present meeting seeks. If this Is attained
it should have an important favorable influ
ence on the prices of the stocks of the com
panies most concerned. If there is
failure to reach a settlement tbe
opposite effi c‘ on prices is to be
expected. If the subject should be post
poned it is believed that the effect on prices
would also be unfavorable, but to a smaller
degree than if active hostilities are to be
entered upon by the respectively powerful
parties to the coutest. As we write Wabash
stocks are up iu the market, showing that
the street believes the result will be favora

AN IMPORTANT CASE.
Of Interest to Importers—Valuation
o u Foreign Goods In Foreign Sliver
Coin-How the Duty Should be
Ascertained.
By Telegraph to the Momina News.
New' York, October 19.—A case came up
in the L’nited States Court here to-day,
which is of considerable importance to all
importers who have paid duly on the valua
tion of foreign goods in foreign silver
coin, according to the scale of equiva
lent specie values used by the United
States Treasury Department up to the
present year. The controversy arises out
of the depreciation of American silver. The
merchants contend that in the collection of
duty in 1878-9, on goods, for instance from
China, valued on tbe invoices in Mexican
dollars, the government should not have
assumed that the value in Mexican dollars
was equivalent to the value In American
stiver dollars of 412)^ grains, and
collected duty on that number of
dollars’ worth. On the contrary, it
should have reduced Ihe value of the goods
in Mexican dollars to an equivalent value in
American gold dollars, and made this sum
the basis for the imposition of duty. This
was practically done in January of this
year, by a chnage in the official scale
of equivalent values of foreign
and domestic coins, adopted
by the Treasury Department, which is based
on the American gold dollar. Tbe present
suit, which is entitled Hadden against the
Collector, is a test case, brought to recover
about fifteen per cent, of alleged excess of
duty collected by reason of the Treasury
Department’s adoption of the silver instead
of the gold unit of comparison in estimating
the value of foreign coin. The decision in
the present suit will govern a large number
ot other cases throughout the country. The
trial will last several weeks.

New York, October 19.—In the House of
Deputies of the Episcopal Convention to-day
the Committee on Expenses reported the
expense of the convention during the last
three years at $11,412, and estimated that

The same committee reported adversely
upon the proposition to pay the expenses of
the clerical deputies out of the convention

back.
The committee on amendments to

reduction of the number of deputies to the
General Convention from four to three.
The report was placed on the calendar.

DULCIGNO.
Riza Paulin aud the Albanian League
—The Albanian!* Will Resist the
Surrender.
By Telegraph to the Momina News.
London, October 19.—A dispatch from
Badsic to Reuter’s Telegram Company says:
Riza Pasha h&6 again represented to the
chiefs of the Albanian League the absolute
necessity of surrendering Dulcigno, point
ing out that they would thus comply with
the will of the 8ultan and of the
powers, and that if they refused they
would probably inflict serious injury upon
Turkey. The chiefs have reserved their
reply until they consulted the nation. At a
subsequent meeting one hundred and fifty
Albanians resolved to resist the surrender.
Riza Pasha has, nevertheless, assured Mon
tenegro that the surrender will be peaceful
ly effected.
Vienna, October 19.—A dispatch from
Cettinje to the Prtsse says: “The two con
ditions rejected by the Montenegrins in the
negotiations at Rjeke on the 17th
instant regarding the surrender of
Dulcigno are the maintenance of the
statu quo to the east of Lake Scutari
and the maintenance of the Turkish flag in
the port of Dulcigno. The latter condition,
whloh probably means that the Turks are
to maintain a maritime police, is consid
ered by the Montenegrins as not even open to
discus-ion, and is a mere pretext for delay.”
London, October 19 —A dispatch from
Gravosa to the Daily Ntwe says: “The
Prince of Montenegro wishes all resident

been sent to Kogusa to fetch the Italian

Chicago, October 19.—A dispatch from
Muskegon says there is not a vestige
left of the schooner Grenade, which went
to pieces off shore there. The only sur
vivors are Wm. Bissell, mate, and Argus
Tinklater, the Captain’s brother. The lat
ter reports that the vessel left Chicago with
a smart breeze on Friday evening, but her
steering apparatus soon became worthless,
and the schooner was left at the mercy of
the waves and storm, hourly increasing in
violence. On Saturday noon the steward
and a sailor died of exposure, and he
himself prayed for death. Sunday at noon
land was sighted, and they began to make a
raft. One sailor was caught between parts
of the broken vessel and was near!
crushed, but he was wrapped in canvas-
and put on the raft, when the waves washes
him overboard. The Captain lost his hold
by the breaking of the raft and was drowned
when near shore. Tinklater held ou for
awhile, and then swam ashore. All the res
of the crew, the number not stated, were
drowned.
The steam barge Trader, which wa3
wrecked in the recent storm, went to pieces
on the east coast of i^ke Michigan. She

Special Correspondence of the Mominq News.
Jacksonville, October 18.—That there was
some depression among the Democrats of this
city after the reception of the news from In
diana cannot be denied. It never amounted to
dismay or demoralization, but the result was
to man3' certainly a serious disappointment.
From this state of feeling the Democrats are
rapidly recovering, and hard, energetic work
will be the order of the day up to the second
of November. By good management and per
sistent determination an apparent defeat can
often be converted into a grand victory.
When the “Bon Homme Richard," ia the
memorable fight with the “Serapis,” was on
fire, and in a sinking condition, the demand
for surrender was met by the intrepid Paul
Jones with the desperate reply: *1 have just
began to fight." His pluck and gallantry won.
and he took possession of the .English frigate
just in time to avoid going doivu with his
shattered vessel.
“Out of »he nettle, danger, it is often possi
ble to pluck the flower, safety.” and although
the political sky looks at present somewhat
dark and gloomy, the sun will yet emerge in
all hi; former brilliancy. Success, and a glori
ous ono, is yet within our grasp, andthtre
should be no relaxation of effort, no cessation
of labor, no abandonment of hope, until the
mark to which we are pressing forward has
been reached.
. Nor is there any real, positive ground for ac
tual apprehension. Local questions frequently
enter into State elections and influence the
votes of many persons. The personal popu
larity of this or that candidate is often
potent factor in a local struggle, and in
doubtful State decides the contest for or
against a party. These considerations disap
pear in a national ejection, and minor issues
are lost sight of iu questions of far greater im
portance.
Although the people cf Indiana may not de
sire Landers for their Governor, they may,
*nd probably will, manifest their preference
for Hancock for President b>'a decided ma
jority. This year has been somewhat remark
able for unexpected political results and the
failure of political calculations. Maine and
Indiana are instances. They have both swung
out of their usual orbits, and after their
eccentric freaks, nobody would be greatly
astonished to see them again return to their
accustomed routine.
So in the elections to occur next month,
there may possibly be as great surprises as
those already witnessed. It is not unlikely
that the great State of Pennsylvania may re
ward the services of her noble son. General
Hancock, bv giving him her twenty-nine elec
toral votes as the next President. Such a
result would not be a whit more surprising
than the revolutions in tne two States above
mentioned, and would be a fit recognition of
the heroism of the soldier statesman, whose
gallantry turned the tide of battle on the
bloody field of Gettysburg.
The reverse in Indiana is not crushing or over
whelming, Although the Democratic advance
has been checked, they are not in retreat.
’I here is no disorder io their ranks, and the old
veterans and young recruits still stand facing
the eneni}- with uudiminished ardor and un
shaken confidence. During the brief interval
that will elapse before the final struggle is
joined, all the weak points must be strength
ened; all the absentees must bo recalled; all
the reserves must be in readiness, and every
man must be at his appointed post, to partici
pate ia the closing charge.
If the proper spirit animates the grand Demo
cratic army of the republic, if there be no fal
tering, if officers and soldiers do their whole
duty, the country will be redeemed from a
great danger, and peace and cincord and re
conciliation will again bind in adamantine
links a happy and prosperous and united peo
ple. All good men should pray and work for
such a consummation. It is the only practica
ble solution cf our present difficulties, and the
only method by which sectional differences can
be healed. Surely it is a prize that calls for
the best efforts of all true patriots. The elec
tion of Genera] Hancock would restore frater
nal feeling and heal old and painful wounds.
The success of General Garfield would leave
things in their present unsettled condition, and
keep up the present stale of bitterness, so
painful to all true lovers of their country.
Hancock would bring harmony-Garfield would
excite discord. The former is a patriot—the
latter a partisan.
Florida Democrats should remember that
tlieir Stetv, though small in population,may be
called on to play no unimportant part in No
vember. Her four votes may control the elec
ti n. I.et every Democrat, for the next two
weeks, devote himself to the close, active work
of the campaign. If the voters are brought to
the polls, the victory is ours. In so large a
State as Florida, with a sparse population,
there i* danger of indifference. This must be
combatted and overcome.
The Republicans, flushed by their success in
Indiana, will doubtless make a renewed effort
to carry Florida. Their national committee
has announced this intention. This, of itself,
should inspire every Democrat iu the State to
redouble his efforts. We have the numbers, and
it is only necessary to get them to the uollg to
achieve success
The great fault of our people has been an
overweening confidence aud a disposition to
neglect all the litt e details, ro important in the
accomplishment of any great purpose. These
minor matters, though small in themselves,
nave an important bearing in the aggregate'
and often lead to disappointment, when their
value is not appreciated.
As the resqlt jn M»ina spurred the Republi
cans into increased activity, ending in their
capture of Indiana, so the loss of that State
should have the same effect upon the Demo
crats. Let apathy and despondency be ut
once casr aside as unworthy of brave, resolute
men, and let each member of our party, for
the next two weeks, work as if upon bis own
shoulders rested the entire responsibility It
is well, perhaps, that the intentions of our foes
respecting Florida have been avowed. To be
forewarned (a to be forearmed," and knowing
the purposes of our antagonists, it is our pro
vince and duty to meet them resolutely and
bring them to naught.
On the 2d of November each State will have
as much as it can attend to to mauag^ its own
affairs. There cannot be again »uch a concen
tration of men and money as was visible in
Ohio and Indiana. The potent influence of
"the almighty dollar” cannot be exercised to
the same extent, aud relieved from t his weight
and power, the Hoosier State is not unlikely
to return to her old allegiance. General Han
cock ia far stronger tiian ihe State ticket, and
thu fact will appear in November. His victo
rious banner will yet have inscribed upon it
the name cf Indiana. In a lotai vote of four
hundred thousand a change of one per cent in
his favor in November would turn the prevail*
shouts of triumph that issue from Republican
throats into most dismal groans of despair.
Surely supb a slight gain it is reasonable to
expect from a State whose sympathies are
naturally Democratic.
The reverse in Indiana will make the fight in
Florida closer thin was at first expected. This
may as well be understood and appreciated.
It will have the effect of inspiring the enemy
with renewed hope, and of exciting them to
fresh exertions. Admitting this, we ah R !| on
false to our manhood and old. traditions', if yyc
do not meet these aa^auhs with the same
steady courage so often shown in past strug
gles. The same unshaken courage and perse
verance that crowned us with victory in 1876
will win the battle of 1880. We have lost no
faith in the justice of our cause, no confidence
in the skill and integrity of our chosen leaders
As we won four years ago in the face of heavy
odds and great frauds, so will we again be the
victors. '1 he safne necessity exists now, as it
did then, of the general uprising c*f oar whole
party, animated by t^e s*ern resolve to sue
ceed. There must be no laggards, no skulkers
Recognizing the magnitude cf the stake, and
the vital important of the principles involved
every Democrat from Pensacola to Key West’
and from Tampa to St. Augustine, must show
his faith by his works, and cast his ballot for
Hancock and Bloxham and Finley and David
son. Every moment that can be apareiT be
tween thisjtime and the da, of election should
be devoted iinirjurmuringJy to promoting the
suc$;e&s wf the cause in which we are engaged
See your friends, encourage the despoudeu*’,

lect not a single point, and a glorious triumph
will be your reward
There is a marked increase in the number of
new faces upon our thoroughfares. Each
Steamer and train daily hring tn fresh arrivals,
and the streets begin to wear a more lively ap
jearance. Aa yet, none of the principal
hotels have been opened, but there are signs of
preparation about these huge buildings

On Wednesday, the 20th inst.. Gov. Bloxham
and party are expected to arrive. His meet
ings along the river have been largely attend
ed, and have excited great enthusiasm. At
almost every poim there were barbecues, and
the prospect is that the vote of the Democrats
in November will be much larger than was
ever previously polled. In the southern coun
ties the gain will be heavy. Here tbe increase
of population has been marked, and the peo
pie are thoroughly aroused to the necessity of
showing their full strength. Gov. Bloxham
has made a most complete and exhaustive can
vass of the State. In addition to his super.or
qualities as a speaker, his personal manners
attract many warm friends and admirers. His
integrity and high moral character stand out
in bold relief, when contrasted with his oppo
nent. and give the certain assurance that nb
administration will be directed by capacity and
characterized by honesty and economy. He is
a general favorite with all classes, who recog
nize in him a man thoroughly identified with
Florida, aud fully alive to her wants and inter
ests. Many Republicans w-ill vote for him. con
sctentiously regarding him as the best and
safest man for the office of Governor. From
this source he will receive considerable sup
port, and it will come from the very ele
ments of that party.
The "regular" Republican Legislative ticket
in this county has had a wet blanket thrown
oTer it in the withdrawal of its most respecta
ble candidate. toe has been restive for some
time, not relishing the company in which he
found himself, and has come to the wise con
clusion not only to formally resign, but in his
card advises his friends to support the other
faction. This vras * the last, unkindest cut of
all,” and his action has greatly demoralized
his former associates. At present there are no
signs of a coalition between the wings, aud the
"bolters” ppeak confidently of their ability to
elect their ticket.
The registration boqfts will be closed nex
Saturday. Active men are now engaged in
picking up all who have thus far neglected
this important duty, and very few will be over

stricken from the lists by the County Commis

the country can wrest from her control. It

and so long as water freezes at the North, and
the icy winds sub the lungs of the suffering

For some week's past the weather has been
cool, and It is quite evident that the reign of
bummer is ending. C ‘ranges are turning from
green to gold, and the fruit stalls are putting
on a tempting appearance. There will be no un
due scarcity of this luscious fruit notwithstand
ing the injury inflicted by the August cyclone
The increased number of trees annuglte com
ing into bearing, together with the greater
productiveness of the older groves, will give'a
rieid this year as large as that of the last sea
son. Orange growing is a very pretty, aate
business. A man who owns a grove of one
thousand bearing trees can very certainly
count on an annual income of ten thousand
dollars. This is not an immense revenue, but it is
amply sufficient for a man of moderate desires,
and upon that amount he is able to provide
most abundantly for a family, and give pia chii
dren the benefit of a thorough education. This
comfortable result can be secured a'so with
but a tithe of the care and anxiety attendant,
upon productnga crop of cotton of equal value.
Take the two products and after deducting tbo
expenses, the net profits vfill fie largely in favur
of ihe orange.

At the battle of the mine at Peters
burg, Ya.. in 1S04, Captain Sims, of the
Fifty-first New York Volunteers, was
killed, and his sword fell into the pos
session of Captain James F. Steele, who
commanded a company of the fteven
teenth South Carolina Volunteers. A
few days ago Captain Steele wrote to
this city for information as to surviving
members of Captain Sims’ family, to
whom he could restore the sword, sat
ing: ‘ Now, when half the North and
the whole South are UDited ia then
efforts to bury animosities of the past by
electing a Federal General to the Preoi
uency who will know no North or South
in '.he administration of the government,
it would be unpatriotic in me to retaiu
any longer this relic of the war.”
Captain Sims left an orphan daughter,
Lucv. twelve years oli Before joining
the Fifty tiist Regiment he had been an
officer of ihe Thirteenth Regiment, of
Brooklyn, which adopted his daughter
the members paying $1 a year each for
her support and education. She was
called the '' Daughter of the Regiment,'’
and her special guardian was an officer
called the “Fatter of the Regiment."
