A man named John Divis, alias Wright,
was killed on Saturday morning by H. L.
Baimer, an old man, In a quarrel about a
board bill, on a fishing boat in Green riTer,
Kentucky.
Considerable damage has been occasioned
by the ice moving in the Ohio river, be
tween Pomeroy and North Bend. The
steamer General Lyttle was cut down and
eunk In seven feet of water, and may prove
s total loss, and the steamer Ei Dorado was
damaged to the extent of $30,000. About
fifty coal barges, valued at SI,OOO each, were
also destroyed.

The Greek Premier, in his last reply to
the French Charge d’Affaires, attributes the
present situation of the Greek question to
the action of this powers at Berlin, which
generated the hopes of Greece, who Is now
the only txecu’or of the decisions of the
powers. Trusting to promises, Greece ab
stained from hostilities, but now, acting
upon wise counsel, and taught by the expe
rience of Dulcigno, she cannot recede, but
must prepare for hostilities.
The London press, in caliing attention to
the early outbreak of obstruction in the
House of Commons, predicts that the gov
ernment will adopt strong measures against
It if It be continued. In the House of Com
mons the Speaker said the practice was
highly inconvenient, and if persisted in he
behoves the House would be obliged to put
an end to the abuse of the practice.
The batteries of artillery stationed in Dub
lin are prohibited from marching into the

The corrupt practices at elections bill was
read a first time in the House of Commons
on Friday night. Its chief object Is to put
an end to the lavish expense accompanying
most elections byjixing a certain sum for
the entire election, with a schedule varying
according to the size of the constituency.
Among the punishments provided for in the
bill is entire disqualification for ever sitting
for a constituency where corrupt practices
occur. #

When the returns of the late election for
Delegate to Congress from Utah were
canvassed by Secretary of the Territory
Thomas, the Gentile candidate, Al'en G.
Campbell, filed a paper with Gov. Murray
protesting against the issue of a certificate
of election to apostle Cannon, on the ground
that he is not a naturalized citizen, and is
a polygamist. Gov. Murray sustained the
objections and granted the certificate to Mr.
Campbell. The Mormons are greatly in
censed in consequence.
William J. Sweeny, keeper of a sailors’
boarding house in Charleston, 8. C., under
took to furnish four sailors to the British
barkentice Sunbeam, lying at Bull River,
and delivered the sailors on board yesterday
morning. As Sweeny pushed off from the
ship three of the sailors jumped back into
his boat, when the Captain of the Sunbeam
opened fire on them, killing one sailor and
seriously wounding Sweeny and another
sailor. The Sheriff of Beaufort has gone
to Bull River to arrest the Captain.
The land meeting to have been held in
Tralee, Ireland, yesterday, was prohibited.
A large crowd assembled, but there were
four hundred troops on the ground. Mr.
Davitt subsequently addressed the assem
blage from the hotel.
The Louisville Courier-Journal says
the interoceauic canal business, boiled
down, means that one company organ
ized to construct a canal at one point is
mad because another company proposes
to construct a similar work at another
point on the isthmus, which links the
North and South American continents.
In order to stop the competition, one
company is trying to make the people
believe that it is the traditional policy of
the United States Government to shoot
anybody who attempts to build a canal
through a foreign country —in this case
the United States of Colombia. It is
'only a squabble between two rival pri
vate companies, and the Government of
the United States has nothing on earth to
do but to protect both of them from the
interference of any power, as stipulated
in a treaty made with England in 1850
and resolutions of Congress previously.
The Republican papers are generally
surprised that a State Senator elect
should acknowledge that he paid money
to aid in his election, and that he should
decline to take the iron-clad oath de
claring that he did not expend any
money in aid of his election. Most of
the Senators use money in the elections,
and take the oath also. But Mr. Eckley
B. Cox, a Democrat, of Luzerne county,
Pennsylvania, declined to take the oath,
and gave up his seat in the Senate, openly
avowing that he did use money. A rare
; case of political conscience, and Mr. Cox
should have due credit.
The Republican papers are still harp
. ing on the large percentage of increase of
the population of the Southern States, as
. shown by the present census, as com
pared with the increase in the decade
' between 1660 and 1870. The South
springs forward from ?£ to 31* per cent.,
1 while the Western States drop from 75
to 61 per cent The South is now the
‘ section of the Union most rapidly in
‘ creasing in populition, with the excep
tion of the extreme West, such as
Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado.
There are 43,000 post offices in the
country, and the employes of the Post
: Office Department alone foot up 60,479
1 persons. Is it any wonder that the
‘ Postmaster figures so conspicuously in
cienti&l campaigns? Last year the
-ijm office expenditures exceeded the
receipts by $3,500,000. Civil service re
form might reduce this shortage.
Message of Got. Bloxhaw to the
Florida Legislature.
We have received by mail a copy of
the message delivered to the present
Florida Legislature, at the opening of its
session, by Governor Bloxham. It was
prepared by ex-Governor Drew, and is
really a review of his administration,
coupled with such suggestions as experi
ence has taught him would be wise. It
was adopted and indorsed by Governor
Bloxham, however, and he recommends
it to the careful attention of the Legis
lature.
It is quite a lengthy and comprehen
sive document, treating of all matters of
public interest to the citizens of our
neighboring State. It begins by show
ing the financial condition of the State.
It shows a total floating debt up to the
Ist inst. of $31,286 93, while the de
ficiencies for the year 1879 and 1880
are $33,755 19, the total expenses of
the State having been for the
former year $215,047 85, and for the lat
ter $167,755 64. These deficiencies were
anticipated, and the last Legislature was
asked to provide for them by proper
taxation, but failed to do so. The Gov
ernor suggests that to avoid them in
future a law, similar to that of Georgia,
be adopted, giving to the Governor and
Comptroller power to raise the necessary
sums by taxation for the support of the
State after the assessments are com
pleted.
The bonded debt of the State is shown
to be $1,285,260 which is invested in
sinking funds, school funds, seminary
funds and agricultural funds, with an
amount in the hands of private parties
of $681,060. This shows a decrease in
the bonded debt during Governor Drew's
administration of $-30,800. Besides these
bonds there is held by the Indian trust
fund of the United States, bonds of the
State amounting to $132,000 with in
terest. As an offset to this, however,
the State has a claim against the United
States for a much larger sum,
being monies advanced by the
State to the General Government to
meet the expenses of the Indian
war. Governor Drew, duriDg his ad
ministration, endeavored to have this
account with the Federal Government
settled, and a resolution to that effect is
at this time pending in Congress. The
credit of the State is in a very fine con
dition and has greatly improved during
the past four years. The six per cent,
bonds, then worth eighty cents on the
dollar, are now scarce at par, while the
seven per cent, bonds, then worth ninety
four cents on the dollar, are hard to be
obtained for one hundred and six. It is
specially recommended that a law be
passed allowing the Treasurer of the
State to enter the market and purchase
bonds at their face value.
The Governor also recommends that
an uniform system of taxation be adopt
ed. Under the present system the taxes
are not equalized, and the honest man
and the State are both imposed upon,
since a great many unscrupulous tax
payers return their property at much
less than its true value. Thus, since the
proper revenue must be raised, the hon
est citizen pays more than his share of
taxes, and the State is defrauded of
large sums. It is recommended, to ob
viate this difficulty, that a law be passed
requirin'! the County Commissioners of
each county to appoint two appraisers
to accompany the Assessor on his rounds,
and, with him, fix a valuation on all
lands, which valuation shall be final, and
shall stand for four years.
Regarding public lands, the message
states that soon after entering on his
office, Governor Drew discovered that
there was a la'ge amount of swamp and
overflowed lands belonging to the State,
for which the General Government had
never issued patents. These he investi
gated. and as a result, there have been
patented and turned over to the State
3,761,880 87 100 acres of such lands. A
large amount of land sold for taxes is yet
unredeemed, and it is recommended that
the time for such redemption be extended
to January Ist, 1882.
Avery important recommenda’ion
concerning homestead entries is made in
this message. As the law now stands,
the settler upon public lands is required
to pay the full amount of purchase
money in cash. Many squatters now
upon these lands are unable to meet their
payments, and, in consequence, while
draining the soil of its fertility, pay
nothing to the State, and make no per
manent improvements. To avoid this
waste of land and actual loss, as well as
to make of these squatters useful citizens,
it is recommended that the law be chang
ed so that every settler or intending set
tler upon State land for a homestead of
160 acres or less, be allowed to pay for
it in three installments —one-third of
the sum on entry, one-third in
two years, and the remaining in
three years after date of entry, the land
to be in the meantime assessed and taxed
as property of the settler. In this way
it is thought a considerable revenue will
be brought into the Treasury from land
at present worthless, and the poorer
classes will be encouraged to become
bona fide settlers and good citizens.
On the subject of immigration, the
message states that the immigration
movement is progressing with great sat
isfaction, and an increase in the appro
priation for maintaining the Bureau of
Immigration, established two years ago,
with Hon. Seth French as Com
missioner, is asked. Much has already
been done, but much more has to
be done yet before the full fruition of
the purposes for which this Bureau was
established can be realized.
After referring to lands in the former
Palatka military reservation which have
been entered in due form by set
tlers, and to which the ex-Governor
thinks the State should relinquish
all claims, and to the preparation
of a digest of the laws of the State,
now satisfactorily progressing un
der the supervision of Col. C. C. VoDge,
the report dwells at length on the Indian
war claims, to which we have already
alluded. The condition of the
public schools is then taken
up, and it is stated that popular
education in the State has greatly ad
vanced during the past two years. The
message takes the ground that the future
prosperity and safety of the State de
pends upon the education of its people,
and much pleasure is expressed at the
fact that this subject is receiving special
attention just now from the National
Government.
It is further recommended that a bu
reau of agriculture be established, to
gather and publish agricultural statis
tics of the State, and that, in connection
therewith, laws requiring a compulsory
inspection of fertilizers, such as exist in
Georgia, be passed. It is thought that
such a law in Florida would prove as
beneficial as it has done in this State.
The remainder of the message is de
voted to the admirable manner in which
the State Lunatic Asylum—in which
there are at present ninety-six in
mates—is being managed, and for
which an appropriation for increas
ing the accommodations is asked; to
the condition of the penitentiary—in
which there are at present one hundred
and fifty-one convicts, all well taken
care of, and who are a source of
vat rtliue to the State under
the convict lease system now in vogue;
to an appropriation for the arrest of
criminals and fugitives from justice; to
the objectionable features in the present
State Constitution, which the Legisla
ture are requested to take steps to
remedy; to a reform in the election laws,
and other matters of minor importance.
Special attention, however, is called to
the manufacturing interests and indus
triea of the State, which, while progress
ing, are still lagging too much, and a
constitutional amendment exempting
any such interest or establishment from
taxation for the first five or ten years
after its organization is recommended.
As we have said, the message is an ad
mirable and exhaustive paper, and we
regret that, on account of its length, it
cannot be presented in full in our col
umns, for it would well repay perusal.
We have herein touched upon its main
features, and no doubt this rather hur
ried synopsis will be read with great in
terest by all of our Florida readers, es
pecially those who may fail to see the
original document.
The Proposed Intereceanic Ship
Railway.
The New Orleans Picayune thinks
there is not the slightest doubt of the
entire practicability of Captain Eads’
projected ship railway across the Isthmus
of Tehuantepec, for the construction bf
which he has recently received such
liberal concessions from the Mexican
Government. Captain Elds proposes, if
the United States will aid the work, to
demonstrate the feasibility of his plan
by constructing and operating ten miles
of his railway, upon which he will take
up several first-class ocean steam
ers, transport them over the sec
tion of tea miles and return
them to the waters of the Gulf.
The Picayune thinks the construction of
the Eads’ railway calculated to largely
benefit the commerce and advance the
prosperity ‘of the United States and
urges the Louisiana representatives in
Congress to give the project their zeaious
support. Commenting on the advan
tages which the ship railway would have
over the proposed Panama and Nicara
guan canal route the Picayune says:
“The Isthmus of Tehuantepec on the
line of the projected road is 150 miles
wide, and there are no engineering diffi
culties to be overcome; while harbors
exist at either terminus, that with small
expenditures could be made to accommo
date all the shipping patronizing the
route. The location of the isthmus is
far more favorable as a transcontinental
highway than either Nicaragua or Pana
ma, not only on account of the great
saving in distance, but for the reason of
its position being above the calm belt.
From New Orleans to San Francisco the
distance is 1,836 miles shorter than by
way of Panama. On the round trip be
tween New Orleans and China or Japan
the saving of distance via Tehuantepec
would be 3,640 miles. A ship sailing from
New York for San Francisco, and
crossing the Eads railway, would
have to travel 4,905 miles, while one
going via the Panama canal must go
6,057 miles. The crossing is 1,250 miles
nearer to New Orleans than Nicaragua,
and 2,300 miles nearer than Panama.
The location is certainly more advan
tageous to the commercial nations than
any other isthmus in the world, and an
interoceanic highway there would inure
more largely to the benefit of the United
States than any route further South.
The railway would certainly vastly bene
fit the commerce of New Orleans, and
would enable the Western cities to par
ticipate in the trade of the Pacific. ”
Few will venture to doubt the practi
cability of a scheme that has the in
dorsement of such a distinguisued and
experienced engineer as Captain
Eads. Besides, in this day of wonder
ful progress, we should be surprised at
no achievement of science. Neverthe
less, we find it difficult to divest our
mind of misgivings in regard to the
practical working of a ship rail
way one hundred miles in length.
Even if ships could with safety sus
tain the strain and jar of railway trans
portation, the casualties to which such
railways—having tojsustain the immense
weight of ship and cargo—would neces
sarily be subjected under the most
favorable circumstances must, it seems
to us, render the plan one of doubtful
practicability. Before the scheme is
seriously undertaken the ten mile test
proposed by Captain Eads should cer
tainly be made.
The consumption of beer in this coun
try, as shown by the internal revenue
returns, is largely on the increase. Dur
ing the last fiscal year taxes were paid
on 13,347,000 barrels of malt liquor.
Each barrel contains 31 gallons, and the
consumption was, therefore, 414,000,000
galljjps, or 8.28 gallons per capita per
annum. This is equal to about 150
mugs of beer each per annum for every
man, woman and child in the country,
or 600 glasses for each male in the coun
try above the age of twenty one. In
1870 the consumption was less than half
what it is at present, or 6,574,000 bar
rels, equal to an annual per capita con
sumption of 5.29 gallons. Moralists like
Mr. Gladstone, remarks the Baltimore
Sun, who has sometimes preached the
gospel of beer and light wines, might
take some consolation from these fig
ures if the consumption of spirits had
diminished alongside the increased
guzzling of beer, but the revenue from
spirits grows at least p<iri passu with that
from malt liquors, if not still more rap
idly, the tax of 90 cents a gallon on
whisky yielding this year $61,185,508,
against $52,570,285 last year. Beer re
tails at 5 cents per glass, and it follows
that at our present ratio of consumption
this business of beer drinking co6t $7 50
per capita to every man, woman and
child in the country, an aggregate of
$375,000,000, or one fourth more than
the total expenses of the United States
Government. The total annual expenses
of public schools in the United States is
$80,529,000, so that our beer drinking
costs 4$ times as much as our public
education.
The New Orleans custom house, the
largest in the world, was begun in 1848,
has cost $4,180,000, and is not done
yet. The massive walls are of Quincy
granite, and the interior is finished in
marble; it has one hundred rooms, with
nearly fifty miles of pipes of all kinds,
and is supplied with water from four
tanks in the attic, each holding thirty
five thousand gallons. The height of
the structure, from pavement to cornice,
is eighty feet, but the plan for its com
pletion contemplates a mansard roof,
which will, with the added story, make
the general elevation ninety-seven feet.
The proposed dome, which is to be
square in form, will be fifty-nine by
forty-nine feet on the sides, with & height
of forty-one feet; so that the total out
side elevation to the top of the lantern
on the dome will be one hundred and
eighty-seven feet.
The Negro Before and After Election.
The Philadelphia Bulletin, a Republi
can organ of the 1 'red hot” variety, has
the following:
“It is not at all likely that the negro
politicians in Washington, who are ex
pressing, through the medium of the
newspaper correspondents, the opinion
that the negro race will be wronged if
Gen. Garfield does not invite a black man
to enter his Cabinet, represeni with accu
racy any considerable number of the
members of their race. There are se
rious reasons for doubting if the great
mass of the Southern negroes, upon
whose services to the Republican party
this claim that a black man should have
such a position is founded, reallly
know what a Cabinet is or what a Cabi
net officer has to do. The chances are,
therefore, that not many of them have
ever given the matter a moment's
thought; and the assertion that their loy
alty to the party will be in any measure
jeopardized by the refusal of General
Garfield so to honor one of their color is,
therefore, simply absurd. As for the in
telligent negroes in the North, most of
them are engaged in business and they
have little fondness for active politics.
*******
“The notion that the negro race, sim
ply because it contains so many voters
who vote solidly for a single party,
must, therefore, and as a matter of course,
be fully represented in the public offices,
is not justified by sound sense. The
destiny of the race is not necessarily to
hold office. That is not the chief end of
man, nor is it the very highest kind of
felicity. The theory that the blacks will
not have full justice done to them until
they are allotted certain clerkships and
post offices is intrinsically absurd. What
the race wants much more than any
thing else is to improve its intellectual
and material condition, to acquire edu
cation, and to learn how to conduct
those industrial pursuits which bring
wealth.”
If, three months ago, a Democratic
paper had ventured to express similar
sentiments, the Bulletin would have
printed them in italics at the head of its
columns as proof positive of Democratic
hostility to the enfranchised blacks. It
would have argued that a party which
declared, through a recognized organ,
that “there are serious reasons for
doubting whether the great mass
of Southern negroes really know
what a Cabinet is or what a
Cabinet officer has to do,” was unfit to
be trusted with those “results of the
war” which are dressed in black. Now,
however, when Southern and Northern
negroes have voted the Republican ticket
and the spoils of Republican victory are
to be distributed, they are told to take
the back seat, and kicked because they
want a chance on the front one. “The
cruel war is over and no negro need ap
ply.” The sublime impudence of this
inconsistency will appear more clearly
when we remember that the stalwarts,
for whom the Bulletin speaks, insist that
the South shall be reduced to territorial
condition if necessary because of its dis
like to negro rule. Because Louisiana,
Mississippi, South Carolina and the rest
will not wear the African yoke, they
must be disciplined with bayonets. But
when the Africans intimate that a repre
sentative in the Cabinet would be agree
able to them, they are informed that
“the destiny of the race is not necessarily
to hold office!”
We do not know how many more les
sons of this sort the colored people will
need before they leara that the Republi
can party has no use for them except to
vote.
St. Louis Republican: “If Mr. Hayes
is really determined to negrophy the
army, he could accomplish his task more
thoroughly and with less expense than
through the Whittaker court martial.
He ought to have transferred Secretary
Ramsey to the Navy Department, made
Bruce Secretary of War and given Whit
taker a commission in the army, without
waiting the slow course of the Howard
force pump. It is not too late yet to
abolish the color line according to this
scheme, and we commend the sugges
tion to the attentive consideration of
President Hayes.”

HAPPTTeW HEAR!
HAPPY HOMES.
HAPPY HEARTS.
COMMENCE RIGHT AND KEEP IT UP ALL
THE YEAR THROUGH.
Make home happy by purchasing one of those
Elegant
Pianos or Organs
YTTHICH we now offer so low and on such
i V easy terms. Why go on through another
year without an instrument in your house ?
Music can tame a savage girl or boy and bring
peace to the tired out. fretted and distracted
parient when everything else fails.
THINK OF THIS,
Pianos used to cost from S6OO to SI,OOO gold.
Now good and reliable ones can be had at from
$179 to $250, and the very finest at from $275
to $375.
Organs used to cost from S2OO to S3OO. Now
from SSO to $l5O.
TIMES HATE CHANGED.
PRICES HAVE CHANGED.
TERMS HAVE CHANGED.
And this is the year to change your old
Piano for anew one. Call and select one.
Name your own price. Pay for it when you
please. That’s the schedule for 1881 at
LUDDEN & BATES’
Southern Music House.
