On the Ist instant a terrible Torna

There were said to be 33,000 pleas
ure and health seekers in Florida du
ring the past winter who left not less
than three million dollars with the
boarding house keepers. The pleas
ure seekers, it is said, exceeded those
looking for restoration to health. And
now we hear that a company of cap
italists intend to erect a hotel in Jack
sonville, to cost near one and a half
million of dollars.
Civil Rights are coming home to
the Northern people. A couple of
negroes endeavored to purchase tick
ets for orchestra chairs in one of the
city theatres in New York, but they
were refused to them. They have
commenced a prosecution. This will
be made a test case of the constitu
tionalty of the bill, and we are glad
that it has occurred in a norhtern
city.
The Federal navy is now used to
facilitate the delights of picnic excur
sions as planned by the grand women
of Washington, the wives of the nobil
ity. It costs taxpayers something
more than twenty millions per an
num to uphold the yachting estab
lishment, and if the Democratic
Congress appropriate a dollar for the
maintenance of the brass-buttoned
servants of the aristocracy, or of use
less steamers, only built to minister
to the delights of magnificent place
holders, it will be morally perjured,
and guilty of treason to its constitu
ency.
The niggers of Atlanta, got
up a poster, signed by eleven
names, having for its object
the invitation of the darkeys of that
city to a celebration at Ponce de Leon
Springs, on Monday last, of the pass
age of the Civil Rights hill. It an
nounced “C. Walton, Chief Marshal
of the day.” The owners of the
springs andsurrounding grounds came
out in a notice in the Constitution of
Friday last, telling them they could
do nothing of the kind—that the
place was their private property, and
without previous permission from
them, no such celebration, nor in fact
any other, should take place on their
private property. Good for Messrs.
John Armstead and J. C. Todd.
AN EXTRADITION CASE.
G. M. Hibhler, for forty years an
active, laborious merchant in Dallas,
was arrested some days ago on a re
quisition sent hither by Governor
Adelbert Ames, the negro-chosen
chief magistrate of Mississippi. In
1862, while the war raged, Hibbler
met a personal enemy on the high
way. A fight ensued, and Hibbler
killed the man who sought to take
his life. Hibbler was then, as was
his enemy, we belive, a Confederate
soldier. Soon afterward he went with
his command to Virginia, and rose
steadily from the ranks to a colonel
cy. He served through the war, re
turned to Mississippi, remained there
three or four years and came to Tex
as. The “rebel” Mississippi Legisla
ture had passed a general act of am
nesty and pardon for all such off end
ers, as Mr. Hibbler, conditioned that
they enlist as Confederate soldiers.
Under this statute, Col. Hibhler sup
posed, and was ever advised, till now,
that this amnesty act of the State
constituted an end of the affair ; but
Ames believes, no doubt, that an act
of legislation designed to promote the
strength of Confederate armies cannot
be suffered to obviate the necessity of
subjecting Col. Hibbler to needless
annoyances ot a needless and most
troublesome trial in a distant State.
Col. Hibbler, wTiom we knew many
years ago, as a worthy citizen of Nox
ubee county, Mississippi, went to
Austin, and sought his rights in the
Supreme Court of the United States.
We look with some anxiety for the
verdict.
THE ROSS CASE.
The excitement about the stolen
child has well nigh died out. Save
an occasional paragraph, telling of
the unfruitfulness of the search, noth
ing is heard. The case has elicited a
great deal of sympathy and feeling
in many hearts, and is almost with
out a parallel in modern annals'. What
could have been the motive in thus
bringing affliction upon a quiet fam
ily by depriving it of its chief orna
ment, and what disposition has been
made of the child, may or may not
remain forever a mystery. The kid
nappers were not pecuniarily influ
enced, else they would long since have
striven for and obtained the large
amounts offered for little Charlie’s
recovery. Neither can the action be
ascribed to personal motives, since
from what we know, the family is
eminently respectable and free of
that skeleton that is oc
casionally found in a dark closet,
therefore, pure, unprovoked mali
ciousness can be the only theory.
Think of that father impelled to the
brink of the grave, and even now
grasping its forbidding border. A
life fretted away looking expectant
for the coming of his darling bade.
And a mother ; can pen describe her
anguish ? Has not the hand of mis
fortune borne heavily upon them ?
Yes, indeed, and they will continue
toJimia-tDihe. J'istj an/ 1 Jut
stored to them.
An English View.— The Lon
don Standard of the 9th has an edit
orial article of more than a column
devoted to the late civil war in this
country, which begins with the fol
lowing tribute to Confederate valor:
“It is exactly ten years this morn
ing since the surrender at Appomat
tox Court House terminated the
splended defence of Virginia against
the most fearful odds with which,
within the memory of man, soldierly
courage and military genius have
ever had tocoutend, and brought the
existence of the Confederate States
to a close. Never was a more glori
ous national history crowded into a
few years; never was a more bril
liant record in the annals of war
than that of the vanquished army.”
The Standard then refers to the dis
position for reconciliation which pre
vailed in both armies at the close of
the war, and the malign political
influences which succeeded and which
have sown seeds of bitterness which
it apprehends will not soon be eradi
cated. At the same time it regards
conservative triumphs at late elec
tions in the United States as indica
tive of the return of a happier era.
The wholesale swindling of colored
people revealed by the investigation
of the affairs of the defunct Freed
man’s Bank, at Washington, has
alienated the affections of many of
that class from the Republican party,
and the managers of that tottering
concern are becoming extremely so
licitious to regain the ground they
have lost. To do this the adminis
tration has, according to a Washing
ton special to the Chicago Times , hit
upon an expedient rather more in
genious than honest. It is proposed
to buy the bank building, on the
pretense that it is needed for depart
ment purposes, for an amount suf
ficient to cover the accounts of the
defrauded depositors. It h believed
that this would restore the confidence
of the Congo voters in the Republi
can party as their saviors and natur
al and only protectors.
“Somebody” has favored us with
a marked copy of the last Gainesville
Eagle. It contains just 60 articles
inimical to Ben Hill. Query—was
not the Eagle a Hill advocate until
after Estes (a brother, we suppose
of M. V. Estes of that paper) was
nominated by the rump convention?
From an article we read in some ex
change, we infer that until his ow n
nomination Estes himself was infavor
of Hill. To the individual who sent
us that paper we will just state that
he might have saved his two cents
which he paid as postage on that
sheet, as we are emphatically Hill
men.
We are glad to see that Mr. Mann
and young Spencer, the wounded of
Atlanta, are improving. Spencer
has so far recovered that young Bard
has been released from prison on a
bond 0f55,000. A true bill has been
found against Magill for shooting
Mr. Mann.
California Raisins.— We find
the following item of the Grocers’ As
sociation of New York in the Bulle
tin of that city.
Mr. Spafford, of Ban Francisco,
presented a box of California raisins
to the meeting. They were critical
ly examined and pronounced supe
rior to the imported Malagas, a box
of which was emptied on the table
and the two specimens shown side
by side.
The importance of this item will
be better understood when we con
sider the fact that more than one
half of the raisins exported from Eu
rope are sent to this country. The
ordinary American grapes cannot be
converted into raisins, and if the Cal
ifornia grape is really as excellent as
stated above, it will be another and
a most important source of revenue
to that wonderfully productive State.
Relative to Bard’s threat to estab
lish a Grant paper in Atlanta,, For
ney’s Washington (Bard) Chronicle
says :
“We are beginning to receive
papers from the South with an an
nouncement marked in the usual
style of Postmaster Sam. Bard, of At
lanta, that he is going to start a dai
ly paper at Atlanta for the next Pres
idential campaign and that this re
doubted postmaster is going to make
it hot and lively for the enemies of
President Grant. The President
has had to stand a good many things,
and he may be able to survive this
attack of the postmaster, but the peo
ple of Atlanta have our sympathies.
They have now a couple of good en
terprising dailies, and to have a pa
per started to battie for the next Pres
dential contest, and edited by Bard,
just as hot weather commences, is
an affliction they ought to be spared.
It does not make the matter any bet
ter that nobody believes it will ever
be isued. This thing of being threat
ened with an impending calamity is
of itself too much.”
Some paper doubts or denies that
when an appeal was made to Chicago
for bread for the starving people of
Northern Mississippi, then recently
desolated by armies, the Chamber of
Commerce or Board of Trade propos
ed to send arsenic instead of flour.
The organization was broken up by
the discussion, and, if we were not
misinformed the difficulty was never
adjusted, and there are yet two boards
—one Radical and the other Demo
cratic. We only know that these
facts, substantantially, were publish
ed at the time in 1865—6, and there
fore our antipathy to Chicago. The
morals of the place are deemed sim
ply execrable, whether deservedly
so or not let the Chicago Times tell.
An unpleasantness has sprung up
between the Governors of Georgia
and Tennessee. It seems that Gov.
Porter, of Tennessee, made a requisi
tion upon Gov. Smith, for one A. E.
Knight which Gov. S. for some rea
son refused to honor. Now a requisi
tion has been made by Gov. Smith
upon the Governor of Tennessee who
says he will honor no requisition
from Georgia, until his requisition
for Knight is complied with. Gov.
Smith, upon being Wiffi
Gov. Porters requisition, says lie
could not recognize the agent who
bore it, because said agent attempled
to blackmail the prisoner. How this
wiil end, is as yet conjecture.
The Memphis Appeal says: The
significance of the fact may not have
occurred to many, but Attorney
General Williams has not been pop
ular at the Executive Mansion since
he expressed surprise at President
Grant’s message paving the way for
forcing Brooks on Arkansas as Gov
ernor. That message was too strong
for even Williams’ iron-plated stom
ach, and soon afterward he was seiz
ed with a “desire” to resume the
practice of his profession. Perhaps
Grant repeated to him the little ob
servation once made by Lincoln to
Montgomery Blair; “Your time has
come.”
A Nice Young Woman.— The
Brooklyn Argus publishes thefollow
ing letter received by a Brooklyn
girl from a young friend residing in
the rural districts:
My Dear Lucy —l think I won’t
come to Brooklyn this spring. I un
derstand there is something going on
there that hadn’t ought to. Papa
won’t let any papers come into the
house, so I don’t know what it is:
but I see the parson at the post office
every morning reading his mail and
laughing fit to kill himself, and I
think it must be something awful
wicked. Yours, lovingly,
Caroline.
The manufacture of all alligator
leather has now b come an impor
tant branch of industry. The skins
come chiefly from Florida and Lou
isiana, and the hunting and skin
ning of the animals for their hides is
extensively pursued. About 20,000
skins are tanned every year. They
are manufactured in various parts of
the United States, and a number is
exported to England and France.
The French, owing to their superior
methods of tanning, are formidable
competitors.
We are glad to see the universal
condemnation, on the part of the
Southern Press of the order of the pro
prietors of the Pullman Sleeping cars
—to admit negroes on an equality
with white people. What has become
of the Southern Sleeping Car Com
pany, which was organized in Atlan
ta some time ago? Friend Wrenn,
now is the propitious time to put the
affairs of that company in motion.
We should be glad to learn that the
Pullman cars were entirely deserted
by white travelers.
The Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, ever on the alert to allevi
ate the sufferings and aid their breth
ren in adversity, is about to take
measures for the organization of an
Old Man’s Home. This new propo
sition will be in accordance with the
spirit of the age, and no doubt will
be the means of smoothing the down
ward path of life to many an ancient
brother.

CA SKY'S PROPOSITION.
A telegram from Washington :
“Collector Casey, who is still in the
city, says the only way the President
can carry out the Louisiana compro
mise, in ousting the members of the
Legislature wrongfully seated, will
be to use persuasive means. There
is no way of forcing them out. He
thinks that the only practicable way
is to give the members some appoint
ment, upon the condition that they
will go out. Then there is bound to
be a row on the part of the colored
men, who will set up a mad-dog cry
that their people are selling out.”
How it runs in the family ! Grant’s
sovereign remedy for sore-shinned
politicians, whom the people have
booted out the door is to give each
an office in which he may heal his
bleeding wounds and line his hungry
pockets. And now comes congenial
Casey, the dearly beloved and closely
stuek-to Presidential brother-in-law
and he recommends the same medi
cine for a meaner form of the same
disease. The members alluded to
have no more right to sit in the Lou
isiana Legislature than they have to
seats in the British Parliament. So
two investigating committees have
decided, and so the Louisiana Radi
cals have at last agreed to acknow
ledge. Yet Casey recommends that
in order to make the expulsion of
these confessed frauds easy and
agreeable to them and their colored
Constituents, they shall bo promised
Federal appointments as the price of
cheerful acquiesenee in tne inevita
ble. Comments are useless. We sim
ply hold up the proposition and the
proposer to the affectionate gaze of
an admiring people.— St. Louis Re
publican.
TOE CIVIL EIGHTS IIILL.
Thu Washington Chronicle is much
exercised at the refusal of the South
ern people to patronize the Pullman
cars after they nave been opened to
negroes, and calls for more stringent
punishment than is provided for in
the Civil Rights bill.
The punishment will come after a
while, but not in the direction the
Chronicle looks for. Very soon Mr.
Pullman will see his customers con
fined entirely to blacks, and this re
duction will starve him out. If it
does not, the Southern railroad com
panies will soon get tired of hauling
heavy carriages that do not carry
passengers enough to compensate
them for their toil. The white peo
ple might, on a pinch, put up with
nearly all the social disagreeabilities
of the Civil Rights requirements, but
the Pullman company ought to have
sense euough to know that it is not
possible to expect Southern ladies to
occupy the sleeping cars on railroads

There is another muss in Louisi
ana. It is now caused by the Dem
ocrats. After accepting the com
promise preferred,—agreeing to leave
the Legislature as they found it —
they have ousted four Radicals, and
ha ve seated four Democrats. A ref
erence to one of the committee who
enginered the compromise, brought
the answer that the terms of it were
violated. There is a strong possibil
ity of events again culminating in a
row.
Generals Colson and Loring now
in the service of the Khedive of
Egypt, have embraced the Mahom
medan faith. Loring gets SSOO a
month and lives like an Egyptian
magnate. His establishment includes
a very respectable harem without
which he would he regarded over
there as a nobody.
Now that Butler is out of politics,
the papers might afford to let him
severely alone. But they will not,
and the result may be that he will
suddenly turn up again, like a jack
in the box. Recently they have
been twitting Bold Ben on his not
receiving any invitation to either
Concord or Lexington, and now he
is spoken of as the possible successor
of Attorney-General Williams, who
handed in his resignation Thursday.
A man in Baltimore called on a
grave digger the other day to have
his wife’s grave sodded. He was an
extremely penurious man, and hig
gled a long time over the price of the
sodding. Suddenly he became mute
while his eyes were fixed on a neigh
boring tombstone. His daughter and
the grave digger stood back in respect
for the old gentleman, in whose mind
they supposed the sight of that tablet
had called up the memory of a dear
departed friend, for grief was depict
ed in his countenance, and he was
visibly agitated. At length the deep
emotion that swelled his bosom found
vent in this pathetic outburst, “My
G—d! when did that man die? He
owes me two hundred dollars, and
I’ll never see a cent of it.”
