FROM FLORIDA. t UTIUMiK ('IIAKUK OF TACTH*. 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. The Sigfiier* of Kaillral Vdilrex of Florida. 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 newest breakfast caps have muslin crowns with two broad frills of Smyrna lace, and trimmings of rows and loops with upturned ends, made alternately of cardinal and of navy bine silk. ■I'HW COLUM B II S * DAILY TIMES JOB OFFICE, Columbus, Ga.

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.
