THE RADICAL* AFRAID OF THKIR RKTU lIN
ING BOARD —STEARNS CLAIMS THE
RIGHT TO SAT WHO 1H ELECTED.
Dlptcli to tli. Cuu.Ututlon.)
Tallahassee, Nov. 18—8:b"> v. m. -
The greatest excitement prevails in
political circles to-day. It has been
discovered thatOov.Srearnsls think
ingof usurping the functions ot the
returning board so far as the vote for
Electors Is concerned, and
CANVASS THAT VOTE HIMSELF,
deciding all doubtful question* in
volved therein.
A committee of Democrats waited
on him to-day and asked him if he
intended to take such action. Ho
replied that he was then consider
ing the question as to whether it was
not his duty under the law to do so,
and he said further thut Judge Em
mons, the shrewdest Republican
lawver in Florida, who has been
here for several days, was engaged in
preparing an ela lwrute opinion on
the subject under discusion,
The committee then entered their
protest against such outrageous usur
pation, nud asked if he would agree
to give them a hearing in defense of
their Tilden majority, and in attack
upon certain strong Republican
counties. He replied that ho would
give them a hearing. The commit
tee then retired.
It is the general opinion to-day that
the Governor has made up his mind
to adopt this course. They will move
for an injunction at once aud upon
his attempting it will resist the in
famous usurpation to the last ex
tremity. The technical point upon
which he vests his right to canvass
the electoral returns is, that the sen
tence defining the vote to be canvass
ed by the board, says “they shall
canvass the votes for all officers, Con
gressmen and Legislators.” He con
tends that an elector is not a State
officer, and is, hence, not included
in the phrase "usual,” quoted above.
The Democrats hold that electors
are State officers, and the fact that no
other provision is made for the can
vassing the electoral vote, is sileut
proof that it was intended that the
board should make the canvass. If
Stearns does adopt the course indi
cated, he will
ISSUE CERTIFICATES TO THE HATES ELEC
TORS
beyond any doubt, The only cause
of his daringattempt at so auducious
a usurpation, is tho fear that the
Democrats had mado up such au
overwhelming case against the Re
publicans that the board would be
afraid to vote them out of their fairly
earned majorty. Hence ho deter
mined to take the matter in his own
hands. The returns to-day contirm
my previous advices, giving the
Florida Electoral vote to Tilden by
about four hundred majority, equal
to a majority of twenty thousand in
New York State. Until this major
ity is trampled down by the Slate
Board, or by Stearns himself, Tilden
is President.
Gov. Brown is very confident that
even if it is done such a showing can
be made to tho people as will correct
the fruad.

Special Dispatch to the World.]
Washington, Nov. 17. —' The Rei>ub
licans here not ooly are without en
couraging advices from Florida to
day, but are quite disgusted over t he
signatures to the address to the Ke
publicaus of the country sent from
Tallahassee yesterday. Thornburgh,
of Tennessee, the first signer, is a Re
publican member of the present
House, who has been repudiated by
his own party at home and set aside
with his predecessor, Roderick Rut
ler, who is awaiting trial in this dis
trict for crime. T. A. Osborn is a Now
York carpet-bagger, who had a bad
record in the United Slates Senate
from Florida, was also thrown over
board years ago by the Republicans,
as unworthy of office even un
der carpet-bag rule. W. E. Chandler
who signs himself as from New
Hampshire, is a notorious cotton
claim agent and lobbyist for ten
years in Washington. Marlin,Chair
man of the Campaign Committee,
and Emmons, of Jacksonville, are
carpet-baggers, while the sixth sig
nature, which is omitted by some of
the journals who know him, is a sen
sational newspaper - correspondent,
who has been in the State a week. It
is not, therefore, to be wondered that
the Republicans here, who know
these signers well, do not put much
faith in them. It was ascertained
here to-day that O. H. Brewster, one
of the Republican electors in Florida,
is also ineligible, as he holds a Fed
eral office as Surveyor of Public
Lands in Florida.
*-Ht IXUO/.K "
[New Orleans Time*, Nov. IC.]
Wo observed that many of our con
temporaries got the world bulldozed
into their dispatches and editorials
as “bull-dogged.” We gave the
etmology of the word a few months
ago. It is a Louisiana word of negro
parentage. Last spring, in the par
ishes of East and West Feliciana and
East Baton Rouge, large numbers of
negroes began to join the Democratic
party. The Repuhlican leaders de
termined to put a stop to it, and
formed secret societies for the pur
pose of whipping in the backsliding
negroes. Among these were the
famous “Union Rights Stop” at
Mount Pleasant, on the river, which
caused so much trouble, and was
finally broken up by the Sheriff, and
their oaths, by-laws and list of mem
bers captured. Their plau of action
was to spot a colored man who was
suspected of Democratic proclivities,
then to serve a notice on him to come
to a certain point and take the oath
of the brethren of the Union Rights
Stop. If he did not come, they
served a second notice, then a third
with a threat, if he still refused, a de
tachment of the brethren was sent
after him, at night, and he was
brought in tied and handcuffed. He
was then told to sign the Stop and
take the oath. Usually terror made
him comply, but if he refused he was
put down and whipped with a bull
whip until he consented to join the
league or leave the State. In very
obstinate cases the brethren were in
the habit of administering a bull’s
iloseol several hundred lashes on trie
bare back. When dealing with those
who were hard to convert, active
members would call out “give me the
whip and let me give him a bull
dose.” From this it became easy to
say “that fellow ought to be bull
dosed, or bulldozed,” and soon bull
doze, bulldozing and bulldozers
came to be slang wards. After the
exposure of the Union Rights Stop,
the Republicans of this State sought
to turn the force of the exposure by
applying the term to all sorts of in
timidation. Hence, when they say
that they mean to exclude the “bull
dozed parishes,” it simply means
parishes where intimidation is alleg
ed to have occurred.

The following is an extract from a description, published in the'New York Tribune, by the we I
known agriculturist, Solon Robinson:
All tho farmers wore of the “well to do" sort, aud some of them, who have turned their attention
to fruits aud market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey,
and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, in
which deposits ot peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilise tho whole upland surface, after it
has been exhausted of its natural fertility.
It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable
condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some
of the oldest farms apparently Just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a
hundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a
marine deposit, and ail through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in
the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia
ry formation; aud this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted
form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants us the farmer desires to
cultivate. '
