Mr. F'dton's bill, says the Constitution, provides for a return to the old system of management in vogue from lso4 to I%V>. Under the laws then in existence the man ag' inent of tlie institution was in th" hareL <4 the “.Senatus Academicus," a body com posed prin<-ipaliy of the members of the Mate Senate.

Mr. Mc- Quaid brought down the bouse by his witty and crisp addrras. To-morrow the merchants will probably visit Pablo Ix-nch and St. Augustine. The visitors express themselves as being greatly pleased at the attentions shown them, and in a businras point of view, doubtless, the excursion plan is a good one for the local merchants. a railroad in litigation. The Florida Midland railroad, running from Longwood west, with some twenty two miles in operation, is w rapped up again hi litigation. It seems the first contra-tor failed in some way to fulfill his contracts, and his sudden death at Boston threw things into confusion. Another contract was made with John H. Dorn A Cos., of Boston, and at that time the troubles L'gun. It is stated that some of the stockholders filed a bill against the con tractors. alleging conspiracy. They re turned the plensantry by endeavoring to get all the original stock set aside as ille gally issued, and also sued to have these parties stop the suits and return their stocks. The case was up for a hearing at Orlando Saturday, and one ruling was made re straining tlie stockholders in question from disposing of their stock. As several promi nent Houth Fiorida business men an* stock holders, and the property valuable, it prom ises to be an interesting suit. anew railroad. A dozen solid business men met here yes terday to consider anew railroad scheme, gotten up by a well-known railroader, whose names the News correspondent, is not yet nt liberty to divulge, nor the proposed route. Suffice it to say it will prove a valuable aid to certain |x>rtinns of tin; State if built, and from present indications a valuable business property. At the special meeting of the County Comnil-xioners held this morning it was de cided to use the old lot where the present jail is situated and either to build an addi tion or anew jail. On motion, the chair appointed Commissioners Wallace, Starrntt and L'Engle ns n committee to prepare plans and estimates and rejiort at the next meet ing. On motion, a communication from the Duval Board of Health was taken up. asking for more funds, and £7OO was appro printed for their use. WHARF IMPROVEMENTS. The ordinance requesting the wharf owners to Imild hulkheiulx and otherwise improve their property has lxx>n extendi*l to Aug. 1.7. There is some dissatisfaction among the dock owners regarding tins order, and it is likely a lively fight will ensue over it* enforcement, as* tho Mayor sai w it will lie enforced. The dinetors of tho Jacksonville and At lantic railroad met yesterday and made a large reduction in prices of Pablo tickets. It is now only aOe. for the round trip, where formerly *! was a.sk**l, and a monthly ticket, good for thirty round trips, is now sold for $lO.
