Over in Florida.
—Jacksonville Sun: It was reported
yesterday that a colored man at Lake
City, who had been sent to jail for
committing rape upon a white woman,
was taken from his cell by a mob
which forced the jailer to give up the
keys, and a short distance into the
woods, where ho was shot. It is stated
that the uflair lias caused much ex
citement in the vicinity.
—*\Vc hear with regret that there
are a few white men living near the
Georgia line who from ignorance or
Qowardico, and it must be both, say
that they will not vote for Drew
and Hull for the reason that if they
are elected the price for rent of land
will be increased. This is without
doubt tan most lliiusy pretext for
serving the radicals that can be re
sorted to, and these very men imis*
kuow that high tax must always make
high rent, The land owners must
put on a price for rent, that will meet
the enormous tax levied by the Rad
ical thievos, and the tillers of the noil
after all have the burden to bear,out of
the poor laboring classes must come
the money to satisfy the. greedy vil
lains. In the struggle for liberty and
self-government that the Florida peo
ple are now making, they should brand
every man who refuses to go to the
polls and vote for Drew and Hull as a
radical, and a traitor to his country,
and unworthy to be associated with,
or respected iis a gentleman, and he
should be made to pay double the
price for vent of land, if indeed he be
allowed to rent a tall, that good relia
ble Democrats have to par. lie or
they ahold be shown no favors bv the
land owners, and should receive no
sympathy :\t their hands.
—Jacksonville Sun: The order,
we understand, has been issed for lo
cating troops at five points in this
State |o keep thq Republican colored
men from interfering with those of
their brethren who desire to vote the
Democratic ticket. It must be for
this purpose, for no sensible person
anticipates any trouble at the polls
miles it arises from this source. The
points designated for the location
of the troojis are Marianna, Talla
hassee, Live Oak, Sanderson and
Gainesville.
Now, seriously, this is a scheme for
someone of the two parties to contest
the election. For what, pray, are
troops wanted in this State? No one
anticipates trouble unless it, may be
someone who means to make it for
the purpose of scaring away voters
from the voting precincts. How hu
miliating for army officers to be
placed at the command of Deputy
Marshals!
—Madison .Yem*: Tuf. Court Hocsi:
Who is thk Incendiary! —While the
Radical papers are having so much
to say about the Court House, and
Mr. Drew’s connection with it, it will
not perhaps be out of place here to
speak of tlre lion. D. Montgomery,
and his connection with the Court
House, audits ashes.
M’lio burnt the Court House? The
finger of suspicion points at, the lion.
David, and it is now currently report
ed, ai|d generally belived that he did
it.
What are the circumstances ? What
motive had the Hon. gentleman for
the commission of so great a crime!
Can it. be possible that this man, who
lias been so honored (?) bv bis party,
could perpetrate a crime, which indi
cates a deeper and more damning de
pravity than theft, or even homicide?
Well the first circumstance is, that
the-fire originated in thr lion. Davit! *
((//ice. The second circumstance is.
that lion. David lost all the books
and papers which protected the coun
ty ami State in a settlement with
Inin as Tax Collector.,
The third circumstance is. tost the
f/pw. David tohi several gentlmen the
night, of the fire that he had not hist
any thing, that he had all his hooks,
and papers, and vouchers, at, his
house; and it was never known that
he laid lost anything, until his settle
ment with the Conn tv Commissiou-
The fourth circumstance is, that
the Hun. David, its Tax Collector,
wan behind with the County and State
nearly $110,000; and the lire enabled
him to bring both County and State
in bis debt. “We are obliged to set
tle at his own figures, gentlemen,” i
said one of the Board of Comity Com-'
missioners to the others; and so they
settled.
The fifth circumstance is, that the
••/Am. David was the only man in all
the county, who profited by the burn
ing.
The sixth circumstance is, that the
County Commissionars, notwithstand
ing repeated and persistentefforts, ex
tending through a space of throe years ;
as theiv records will show, were never
able to get the, Hon. David to a settle
ment until after the burning of the
Court House; after which this honor
able gentlemen stepped up with alac
rity, but without books or vouchers,
and “figured” the County in his debt.
His account was not even read o"er.
What was the use, when as one of the
Commissioners said “we are obliged
to settle with him at his own figures?’’!
The seventh circumstance is, that

The Jluii. David went, up town that
night, and did not, return to his virtu
ous conch until long past the “witch
ing hour of night, when church yards
vnwn. and graves give up their dead.”
And when he did return, he loaded up
his little gun, put it by his little bed,
and blew out, the light. Soon thereaf
ter the startling cry of “fire !” pealed
on the “dro’.vry ear of night."
Dost like the picture, David ! Do

at Madison, on the night of the' 2fith
of March A. D. 187(1! As Nathan
said unto David, “Thou art the man.”
All Incendiary Speech A Radical
Threat.
On Tuesday night. tlie sth inst., the
colored people lmd a meeting about
three miles from town, on the planta
tion formerly owned by the late ( 'apt,
Johnson, and known as “Casuhianca.”
At this meeting Jack Kston was the
presiding spirit, and we are informed
by a young white man who was pres
ent, that he indulged in language
which, if persisted in, will ns surely
cause violence and bloodshed ns the
sun rises and sets. Among other out
rageous advice he gave utterance to
the fol’owing:
“AVe must succeed in this elecHon
if not by fair means, let it be done
otherwise. Let every Republican
come to the polls on the morning of
the election thoroughly armed; bring
your guns, your pistols, vonr knives,
and he ready to fight, If necessary,
we will set the town on lire, and
whih-t the Democrats are fighting lire,
we will vote Republican ballots and
carry the election !”
These are reported to ns as the ex
act utterances of Jack Eaton, who is
reputed to be ig the employ of Radi
cal leaders in this State, at one dollar
per day. His incendiary and brutal
advice, therefore, has the. semblance
of authority, although we are loath to
believe that even a man so vile ns
Turman, lias the reckless audacity to
inaugurate and prosecute a campaign,
the finale of which must be. a carnival
of arson and blood. As .Tack Eston is
a paid employee of Radicals, howev
er, until his position is repudiated,
the people must view his throat to
burn a town, as the last desperate ex
pedient of a dying party to secure a
further lease of power, and make ev
ery preparation for the emergency.
•Jack Eston is a recklessly desperate
and nosernpnlivw instrument of evil,
as well as irresponsible demagogue.
This. Robert, Meaeham. the radical
candidate for Senator, is well aware
of; he is cognizant of his bitter and
dangerous liarranguc, made almost
daily to the ignorant masses; lie has
been appealed to ly a leading citizen
to check the monster in bis dare-devil
career. But ho is silent and by si
lence he give a quasi endorsement, to
Jack Eston’s policy; consequently lie
is fast, losing the respect, of those who
have looked upon him in a favorable
light, because of the conservative po
sition he has heretofore occupied.
We desire peace -a quiet and fair
election -but at the same time, the
ignorant, beastial and incendiary hu
man blood-hounds are assured, that
we will always be found ready to de
fend our property, our homes and
our persons, and meet out veugaticc
to those who dare imperil tiie same.

c ] Bl l;s is being made by Rutherford,
t,|x; man who was dismissed last year
from bis position of auditor for allow
ing a corrupt claim. Rutherford
goes to every clerk, man or woman,
ami insists upon his assessment. Two

paid treasury clerks all collected will
make upward of $00,00(1. Quo poor
devil of a. clerk was attacked yester- j
day by Rutherford and
ASKKIJ TO BUHSVHIDfc.
Xho cL;iT; said lie could riot jiftord
to. Rutherford called his attention
to the fact that he was a $1,400 j
clerk, and that something was to be ;
expected from him. The clerk said
he had a wife and six children to sup
port. and that he could not in justice ;
to them afford it. At this Ruther
ford took out a list of names in his
pocket, and marked A. D. opposite
the clerk's name. After he went
away the clerk learned that all who
REFUSED TO PAY ASSESSMENTS
were classed as Democrats to be dis
missed. This so frightened the poor i
clerk that he borrowed SB2 and went
to Rutherford with it, and by paying
it succeeded in getting his name ta
ken off the black list. He said it was 1
like taking the life blood away from ,
his family in making this payment,
but no mercy was shown upon him.

affinities, and marking them for.re

Are we a nation ? Shall the dema

of these States keep up this sectional
cry eternally ? Do not the intelli
gent men of the North kuow that the

of Southern politics are liberal mind
ed men, and wunt peace and recogni

AVe. have lived in this State four

sooner than to your Blaines or Fryes

The real fact is, that the North lias

have become nothing but arrant dem

Those innocent lambs, the followers
of Kellogg anil Packard in Louisiana, :
having been detected in wholesale
frauds in the registration of voters,
have begun their semi-annual cry of
outrage and murder, and we learn
once more that a white Republicans
is not, safe in that State. Comment
ing on this state of affairs, tile Now
York IJvraltl Rays: “The State is in
the hands of the Republicans. Why do
they not enforce the law and repress
disorders? What is the use of Gov
ernor Kellogg and of the two or three
thousand Republican office-holders
under him, if they do not, execute the
laws and protect and defend the con
stitution of the State as they have
sworn to do ? Governor Kellogg has
greater power, under the constitution
and laws of Louisiana, than any oth
er Governor in the country; in fact.,
he has the powers of a dictator. He
may appoint in any parish in the
State an extra constabulary force,
with power to arrest summarily. He
may even march the police of New'
Orleans to any parish in the State to
put, down disorders. Apparently he
now, as on former occasions, prefers
to let them goon unchecked and un
punished in order to give Marshal
Packard an excuse to call for troops. ■
But we warn the Republican leaders
in the country that, ‘calling for troops’
is not. popular this year. If they al
low Packard to elect himself by the
help of the. United States soldiers
they will risk several Northern States
!>v the operation, for there are tens of
thousands of Republicans in the
North who will not vote for Haves if
they see ti'uoos used in the South.”
Both Capable and Honest. -—The
following is the conclusion of a pri
vate letter redeivud the other day by
a citizen of Baltimore from the Hon. 1
Charles Francis Adams, of Massa
chusetts:
I think if. is high time to introduce
something better in our polities than
old issues and greed of the loaves!
and fishes. If Ido not mistake, the
country is gasping for a brighter fu
ture, and for letting alone the record
of the past. To me, personally, it is
of comparatively small consequence,
as 1 have pretty nearly reached the;
end; hut for those who conic after me
the result still interests me. I regard
this election as the turning point.
The names of the parties signify noth
ing—the actions of individuals every
thing. I believe Mr. Tilden to be
both capable and honest, as well as
self-reliant. I know, nothing of Mr.
Hayes beyond his goad private char
acter, His letter did not'increase my
confidence in his independence or his
judgement.

The following truths, which were
out from the Detroit,..Free Press, are
worth treasuring, lip:
Every family of five has been plun
dered of forty dollars to maintain
and perpetuate Republican ring rule
i since 18(18.
A Democratic Administration will
follow up the reduction in expendi
! lures of this year bv a still fuvtlie- ro
! dfiction and will take efficient mens-
I lives to lessen taxation.
A Republican Administration, aid
ed by a Republican Congress, will
, maintain lavish expenditures and drag
millions unnecessarily from the peo
ple.
Economy is the order of the day.
The people must be economical to
i live. To secure economy in the lia
. tiou they must elect u Democratic
Administration.
Gr.antism and the Republican party
have taxed the people for the nation
al administration aliont eight dollars
I per head more thyu was needed with
honesty and economy.
It makes a difference of $5 per head
to every man, woman and child in the
country whether the annual expendi
tures of t he nation are 82011,000,000 or
8270,.000,000.
It makes a difference of seventy
five cents per head, or six for a fami
ly of father, mother and six children,
whether the national expenditures are
8240,000.000 or 8270.000.000.
The great bulk of the United States
are dependent upon their daily earn
ings for support, and it is of highest I
importance to them that the gov
ernment demands upon those earn
ings should he as light as possible.
The people complain of bard times;
but Republican I‘ogftcs ll:t:e ffotiHih
ed while the people were overtaxed
and plundered, and hundreds of mil
lions have been recklessly misspent.
The Democratic House have stood
by the people. It has demanded and
insisted upon a reduction of expendi
tures of last year.
The Republican party and the
Grant Administration have for the
past seven years and a half expended
over three hundred million dollars
more for the ordinary purposes of the
Government exclusive, of interest,
premiums and debt charges than
was necessary for an efficient, honest
and economical administration.

An amusing incident occurred oa
fI yr* ftllil ( ’hfxttanniKrn Avail
road the other day. A Tnllahoma
gentleman boarded the train.at that
and met a Georgia friend Whom he
had not, seen for some 'time. The two
took a seat together, and chatted
pleasantly about politics, afid crops,
the weather etc. Presently the Tnl
lahoma gentleman say a very hand
some lady sitting on the opposite
seat' cutting the leaves of anew book.
“Ur Jove;' isp't that a pretty wo
man ?” lie whispered to his friend.
“Yes, she's 1 passably good looking,”
was the guarded reply.
“Passably good looking?” was the
indignant rejoiner; “why she’s as
lovely as a speckle tront in clear wa
ter, and as' proud looking as'a pea
cock with its tail spread.”
“Well,” retorted the other, “sine*
you think her so charming and so
proud looking, I'll bet you a bat that
I can step over theft and kiss her
without ruffling her temper.”
“I'll take the bet !” said the Tulla
lioma gentleman, with mi incredulous
stare, “your stock of cheek is heavy,
i admit, but I don't think you have
enough for a job of that sort. '
The gentleman from Georgia rose
quietly from bis seat, stepped over to
the lady, put one baud gently on her
shoulder, bent down gracefully and
kissed her lightly on her ripe, rosy
mouth. She blushed confusedly, but
looked at him tenderly, nevertheless,
and smiled.
“Well, that heats the devil!” ex
claimed the Tnllahoma man as his
friend returned to his seat. “I never
saw anything equal to vour impu
dence in my life:”
“There was nothing impudent
about it,” was the calm reply; “I sim
ply kissed my wife, and I will take
that hat when go got to Nashville.”
He got it.
Don’t mi: too Sensitive. -There are
many people always looking for
slights. They cannot carry on the
daily intercourse of the family with
out finding that soino offense is de
signed. They are as touchy as bair
triggers. If they meet ail acquaint
ance who happens to he pre-ocmipiod
with business, they attribute his ab
straction in some matter personal to
themselves, and take umbrage accor
dingly. They lav on others the fruit j
of their utter irritability. Indigestion
makes them see impertinence in ev
ery one they come in contact with.
Innocent persons who never dreamed
of giving offense, are astonished to
find some unfortunate word, or mo
mentary taciturnity, mistake for an
insult. ‘ To say the least, the habit is
unfortunate. It is far wiser to take
the more charitable view of our fellow
beings, and not suppose t hat a slight
is intended unless the neglect is open
and direct.. After all, too,, life takes
its hues in a great degree from the
color of onr own minds. If we arc
frank and generous, the world treat*
us kindly; if on the contrary, wo are
suspicions, nipp learn to be cold and
cautious towards us. Let a person
get the reputation of being “touchy,”
; and everybody is under a stfaint; and
iin this way the chances of an inragi
1 nary otlui.e are melon..,ed.

fR Kemble's English gossip in Harper's
Bazar. ]
The extremities to which fashion
has advanced in London iu female at
tire are really deplorable. A lady on
whose truthfulness I can depend con
fides to me the following particulars;
She was asked the other day to in
spect the wedding trousseau of a
| young lady of high rank. The dress
es were very numerous and beautiful,
' and every accessory of attire was in
' the height. Of fashion, if not of good
taste. ‘ 'Jint where," inquired my
j friend, “is the underclothing'?"
! “Ob 1” said the milliner with a
j smile of pity, "ladies wear npne now
-1 a-days. They wear these instead."
And she pointed to three complete
suits, not of armor, but of chamois
! leather.
It is only over chamois leather that
the skirts from Worth can be strained
‘ tight enough. At Bristol the other
I day, tile Mayor gave an pnterfain
; ment to the Lord Mayor of Loudon,
and the occasion seemed so important 1
that one ladv guest sent to Paris for ’
her dinner dress, ft was tight
when it came that she had to take off
garment after garment before she
could get into it at all. And then she
had to sit down at the table. I air
told her sufferings were considerable
during the repast; but her worst mis
ery was the reflection, “How shc.ll 1
get up again ?” Eventually she did
get up, thanks to the gentlemen on
each side iff her, who pulled down the
refractory garment bv main force.
At the very last drawing room nt.
Buckingham Palace a similar catas
trophe took place. A lady made her
bow to the Qneeil a little too low for
her “kicking strap" (as a man would
call it, but I dare say Air. Worth has
a prettier name), and it slipped down
so fir that she could not get up again.
The Lord High Chamberlain himself
had to come forward and set her
straight..
Till* of the Bay
The New York Bulletin, remarking
upon the business situation, says:
Politicians would persuade us that
we are so rich in rsonroe that we can
afford the luxury of costly govern
ment This is a mistake; and the de
ception amounts to moro they a, po
litician's plea; it serves to make the
common citizen indifferent to the evil
that is draining away the life-blood of
the nation. Our resources were as
rich when they were owned aTonu An 1
the Indian; but there was no wealth.
Resources become wealth only when
they are utilized for the various pur
poses of civilization; and they can be
so utilized only in proportion as capi
tal ami labor are employed upon them;
but both these agents are deterred
from employment just in proportion
as taxation absorbs the profits that
alone can bring them into play.
It is then above everything impor
tant that we should enter upon the
era of commercial recovery with a firm
resolve to agitate ceaselessly for a
large reduction in the expenditures
of every form of government. This
issue must be presented with firmness
of demand that will give the politi
cians to feel that the people are ill
earnest about it. No other or minor
question should be allowed to thrust
this into the shade. It is even mere
vital than questions of currency, or
resumption, .or coinage; and the issue
must be 'pressed until political wu'ties
are brought to compete with each oth
er in their pledges in this essential
branch of reform.

lie l'.-tticiphered with resentment, for
years, bet the whole of yoqp life be
mobbed out carefully, with the view
of mailing the best possible use of it,
and foster a love for honorable iridtis
trv with an eye open toward steady
saving for future benefit.

save. It vour companions do not be

soon come, with its vents for benevo
