We had thought that "Landautet” ware gone forever. with the present patchwork instrument under which the State lives that needs changing. It was adopted under the Republican regime when Florida was overrun with scalawags and carpet baggers, a fact that alone establishes its unfitness in these new daysof Dem ocratic rule and progress. To facilitate the great work of this convention, made up of representative business men to a large extent, the matters to be arranged had been ap portioned among twenty committees, Several of these have reported, among them that having charge of the legisla tive department. This report, not yet adopted, provides for biennial sessions of tho Legislature of 60 days each and limits called sessions to twenty days each. The pay of members is fixed at $6 per day. It prohibits lotteries, pro vides for the disqualification of certain classes of criminals, establishes a sep arate title to property owned before or acquired by a wife after marriage, and leaves to the Legislature the question of appointment or election by the peo ple of State officers not otherwise spec ified. In other particulars the legisla tive department is provided for as in Georgia. One of the most important subjects to be handled by this convention is that which embraces railroads. As tar a3 we have been able to learn during tho last two years, it is generally recognised that the railroads in Florida are largely responsible for the State’s great growth and development, and public sentiment does not favor any legislation that will hamper these great forces. Still there are fanatics and demagogues in Florida, in other States, and it is scarcely possible that they will let slip tliis opportunity to make capital by appeals to the passions and prejudices of the people. It would be a fatal error on tho part of Florida to experiment just now witli railroad rates and com missions. Let the law-makers take warning fro a Georgia’s embarrass ment and let capital continue to flow into new roads. habit of getting drunk, very drunk and very frequently, were taken up and im prisoned for two years or more, the probabilities are a large percentage of them would he cured of the habit en tirely, and many others would be par tially cured. This treatment partakes of that of an inebriate asylum, oxcept that it is compulsory as to the restraint of person. This matter of drunken ness is a very difficult one to deal with, and yet it la very important that some thing should be done to mitigate, ar rest or to destroy it entirely. The laws of Massachusetts referred to are experimental. The country will be interested In the result of their ex ecution. If the outcome shall be promising in that State, other States will follow with the passage of similar legislation, or something akin to it. The drunkard cannot take care of himself. Some plan will have to be devised to take care of him, and to save him from himself, if possible. At the meeting daring tbe past week of tbe Grand Army at Portland, Maine, there was much ot marching and connter-march- ing and glorification generally, and des pite tbe Prohibitionists, tbe bars did a good business, in the report ot the com- manners the following appears: “Daring the put eleven months there have been issued 51,000 badges. These badges are of broexe made from captured rebel cannon.” We had thought that the bronze cannon had been voted by Congress, to make monaments for the dead fcderala.

Immediately subsequent to tho sur render, agents of the Treasury Depart ment were sent South to seize cotton belonging to the Confederate govern ment. In fact, tire Confederate gov ernment had very little cotton subject to seizure, but these agents seized nil tho cotton they Could lay they their hands npon. Mach of it they sold and appropriated to their own purposes, some was sold in New York city and at other points and the proceeds thereof were turned into tho United States treasury, where it still remains. The amount is large, running into the millions. Tho Supreme Court lias decided that the government has no claim upon this money, but that it rightfully bolongs to those who wore robbed of it. An effort is going) to he' mado tore- cover it. Many, perhaps most of the original claimants are dead, but any amount that may be recovered sbonld go to their heirs and representatives. Tlie proposition is to ask Congress to pus a bill allowing ail claimants upon the fund to go before the Court of Claims and prove their claims, joat aa claimants under tho French spoliation biil are now permitted to do. This is no Southern war claim. The war was over, when many ot the South ern people were despoiled of the little cotton which they had saved from the wreck. The highest tribunal of the land has declsred that thia money does not be long to the government. It is the dnty of tbe government, then to ascertain to whom it does rigbtfnlly belong, and to make reatltntion. It may be a matter of importance to those interested to give the matter Immediate attention. ing. Tut: Memphis Avalanch* aayt: “Thia color line txlata everywhere.

Massachusetts evidently recognises tho fact that men will manufacture liqaor, that other men will sell it, and that other men still will drink it to ex cess. The laat Legislature In that Stato ad dressed considerable attention to the drunkards. In 1880 the penalty for a "simple drank" was reduced from a fine not ex ceeding 85 and costs to 81 without costs, and the Imprisonment for nonpayment of this fine from thirty days to ten days. Thia reduction of penalty for tho first offense waa oflaet by a provision that third conviction for drunkenness within one year should be pnnlsliahie by im prisonment for not more tbin one year, In 1881, the law was so changed that tbe person convicted might be re- laired to pay the coats cf convic tion. The new taw, wntch will go into effect a month hence, restores the penalty fora "limple drank” to the former figure—not exceeding 89 and coats, and the imprisonment for non payment ot fine to thirty days. Still another law jnst passed provides that a male person convicted of drunk enness fora third time within one year, or convicted of being a common drunk ard, may be sent to the Massachusetts reformatory for a term of two yean, subject to release on ticket-of-leave when he ia thought to be reformed. The person so released may he return ed to llic reformatory if be fails to keep sober. In addition to the se enactments, other provides that habitual drunkards and those suffering from dipsomania may be committed to the asylum for tbe insane. Massachusetts recognizes drunken ness as a crime in its inception, in J sub sequently as a disease. Assault's Tammany, There is an evident desire, if not an intention, to reopen the war on Tam many, that raged so fiercely at the Chicago convention. Tho Mugwumps can never be hnppy so long as Tammany is recognized as a strong, sturdy and honest Democratic organization. The New York Times and other journals of that ilk, sound the note of attack, and even down here in Georgia, the organs of political bosses and rings reecho the cry. There is yet no outward evidence that Mr. Cleveland sympathizes with this movement. It may be that some of tlie cabinet are unfriendly to this organization, hut it is tx^md question that others of that body do not regard it wise to strike down the right arm of Democracy in New York city. Notwithstanding that Tammany had gi ievances calculated to provoke resent ment, the testimony is irrefragable that this organization did its full dnty in the Presidential election. Those who deny this, are blinded by preju dice to the facts which are matters of record. The Philadelphia Herald, on this point very sensibly eays: Tammany Hall represents not leu than forty thouiaud Democratic voter!. When Ita lead- go to Waihlogton to talk with the Presi dent, they are (airly presumed to represent tbe Interests and convictions of theee voters. And interests and convictions ot there voter* we believe, u honcit and disinterested aa thou ot any other clais ot citizens, whether they claitlly themselves under the name ot Democrat, Mugwump or Republican. We certainly are 11 a lou touuderstand why, when the Tammany men live advice at to ap pointments, precleely ae the Mugwump! and. New York Times have repeatedly done In the lie*, four months, that their requests should sne red at and denounced aa “impudent” and “dictatorial." The President baa recognized Tam many in tlie appointment ol Mr. Cox minister to Turkey. In other ways he has recognized the other factions of tbe New York Democracy, and so far all things are even, it will bo a capi tal mistake of the administration should lend itself to any movement looking to the slighting or provoking of Tam many. It has been given out that the Presi dent will not interfere in factional fights. This is right, and its wisdom will be demonstrated by living up to the declaration. It ia also declared that the President will make no effort concerning the gubernatorial election to occur in New York during the coming fail. He knows, aa doea every other observer ot political movementa, that the verdict ot hia own State will be taken aa the first teat of the success of hia administra tion. Tbo Republican party of New York has been reunited. The Mug wumps may or may not foil into line again, bnt the stalwarts will, and • majority of a little over a thousand ia a small margin to be overcome. Tiie Democrats cannot hope to carry the State with dissensions and jealous ies in their ranks. At the inaugura tion of Mr. Cleveland, Tammany was accorded tho poet of honor in the civic parade.
