THE FLORIDA FRAUD
HOW THE RETURNING BOARD TRIED TO
FLANK THE COURT.
The Constitution’s correspondent
at Tallahassee has forwarded the fol
lowing advices by mail, as giving the
details of the work already reported
by wire:
Tallahassee, Dec. 27, 1876.
I telegraphed you thi3 morning
the board, or rather a majority of
them, McLin and Cowgill, had re
fused to re-cauvass under the order
of the court. About 5 o’clock to-day,
McLin sent another communication
to the Attorney General requesting
him to meet the board at 3 o’clock
this afternoon, for the purpose of re
canvassing ; but I give you the entire
correspondence:

Cn the 26th the following was de

MCLIN BACKS SQUARE OUT.
About 10 o’clock this a. m. the fol
lowing was received by the Attorney
General:
Office of Secretary of State, 1
Tallahassee, Dec. 27th, 1876. J
Dear Sir—The notice given you
yesterday to meet at office of Secre
tary of State for the purpose of can
vassing the vote for Governor under
the mandate of tne court is hereby
withdrawn. Under advice of coun
sel we will file motion to vacate the
rule allowing the writ and setting
the mandamus aside.
Very respectfully,
Saml. B. McLin,
Secretary of State.
Hon. Wm. A, Cocke, Attorney Gen
eral State of Florida.
COCKE DESIRES TO OO IT ALONE.
Thereupon, the Attorney General
addressed the following note:
Attorney General’s Office, Tal- )
Lahassee, Fla., Dec. 27, 1876. )
Hon. S. B. McLin, Secretary of
State:
Sir:—l hereby request that you
offer me 'immediate access to tne
late election returns in your office in
order that I may prepaie myself for
obeying the Supreme Court in the
mandamus case against the board of
canvassers. Respectfully,
Wm. Archer Cocke,
Attorney General.
To this a verbal reply was given,
allowing the Attorney General ac
cess to the records required, and Mr.
Cocke, accompanied by Hon. J. A.
Henderson, went at once to the Sec
retary’s office, and there made a re
canvass of the vote for Governor,
Mr. Henderson acting simply as an
assistant or clerk to Mr. Cocke. The
Attorney General then prepared his
answer to the writ, which answer
shows the result as stated some days
since (or in part on the 26th) in the
Floridian ef a majority for Drew of
497. About the time the Attorney
General completed his answer,
which was about two o’clock r. M., a
messenger came to his office with a
request from McLin that Mr. Cocke
would remain in bis office a few min
utes. Directly after a communica
tion was received from the Secretary
of State as follows:
m’lin IS BROUGHT UP STANDING ONCE

Hon. W. A. Cocke.
Attorney General.
THE CARPET-BAGGERS DROPPING IN.
Ex-Attorney General George H.
Williams arrived here this morning,
but he has not been seen by any of
the “outsiders.” Whether his pres
ence has anything to do with the
present vacillating conduct of McLin
and Cowgill of course can only be
conjectured. Mr. M. A.Claney came
with Mr. “Laudaulet”; who he is I
don’t know, but he is said to be one
of the “ring.” From the same source
I got the information yesterday that
Mr. Williams would arrive to-day, I
learn to-day that Judge Wood, of the
U. S. Circuit Court, will be here to
morrow ; or, at any rate, that he will
be in Florida in reach. Whether or
not one of Judge Bond’s exploits is
expected from Judge Wood we are of
course left iu the dark; but those
who know the latter gentleman are
decidedly of the opinion that such uu
expectation would be disappointed.
Indeed the pretext for Judge Bqnd’s
action, flimsy as it was, does not exist
in this cuse, us there can b no ques
tion as to whether Gov. Drew is a
United States officer.
THE BOARD DODGES THE COURT.
Thursday Night, Dec. 28,1876.
Well, the board concluded its oper*
utious at id o’clock last night—i. e.,
they arrived at the above result, but
have not yet completed a tabulation.
You will possibly be surprised when
you learn, which you will do before
this reaches you, that the action of
the board was not in compliance
with the orders of the court. They
counted the returns of the county
judge in Baker aud threw out Clay
county entirely. You will recollect
all about Baker county, aud that in
the canvass by tlie board on the 2J
iii St., the clerk’s return from this
county was counted. In Clay county
you will also recollect that one pre
cinct bad been omitted in tbe oouuty
canvass because the officers at that
precinct did not appear to have been
sworn. The Suite board, however,
included this preolnct v (they had
been furnished with the vote aud all
facts connected with it by the county
board) in their canvass. The court
decided that the exclusion of this
precinct was wrong and the board
must canvass the returns from its
face. Their reasons for rejecting it
have not yet transpired. They will
file their complete answer by 1
o’clock p. M.
Lord Nallxbury’n Itrcent Interview with
the Multan.
London, Jan. I.—A dispatch dated
Constantinople, Dec. 27, which was
delayed by the interruption of the
telegraphic lines, says : The Marquis
of Salisbury, at his audience with the
Sultan yesterday, announced that a
complete understanding between the
powers was achieved during prelimi
nary conference, and that an agree -
ment had been reached on a pro
gramme, which had already been semi
officially communicated to the Porte.
Lord Salisbury advised the Sultan to
accept the proposals. The Sultan re
plied that. be deeply regretted that
be was compelled to decline giving
his adhesion thereto, as his (lowers
are limited by tbe Constitution.
Lord Salisbury thereupon re
marked that in that case Tur
key must not. count on money
or men from England, who would
leave Turkey to her fate. The Sul
tan answered ; “It is useless to piess
me, for if I acceded to the proposals,
it would be at the risk of my crown
and life.” Lord Salisbury then
asked on what His Majesty relied for
defence in case of war. The Sultan
replied that the army and the people
would defend him, but he could not
depend on them if he opposed the
unanimous wishes of his subjects.
At the conclusion of the interview,
Lord Salisbury informed the Sultan
that ho would be compelled to with
draw the British fleet in order to dis
sipate the erroneous idea that Eng
land supported Turkey in resisting
the will of Europe. On leaving the
Sultan, the Marquis telegraphed to
Admiral Drummond to withdraw his
fleet immediately from Turkisli wa
ters. Tlie Admiral asked authority
to winter in the harbor of Saloniea,
but Lord Salisbury refused to give it,
consequently a portion of the fleet
sailed for the Piraeus, and the re
mainder proceeded to Malta.
Humored Attempt to Involve the
United Mates and Mexico.
San Francisco, Dec. 31.—There
have recently been some vague ru
mors here of a filibustering expedi
tion being organized to invade Lower
California, and the Chronicle this
morning published an article stating
that some two hundred men, well
armed, will ostensibly establish a
colony iu that country, when bv (ire
concerted arrangement they will be
attacked by Mexicans, which will in
augurate trouble of such magnitude
that either the United States Gov
ernment will be called upon to inter
fere, or the whole tier of Northern
Mexican States will join in declaring
an independent Republic. In either
case, the invaders will be on hand to
reap any benefits that may arise, and
having ostensibly acted purely in
self-defense, there can be no blame
attach to them. On the contrary,
the Alla this morning publishes an
interview witli the Mexican Consul,
Pritchard, who states that all such
rumors are mere newspaper sensa
tion, made up of whole cloth.
The Central Railroad wharf is liter
ally covered with cotton, rosin, hides
and sugar for export, and tomb
stones, guano and general merchan
dise for shipment to the interior.
The tombstones are for Federal
graveyards. Home are large and
have names upon them, while others
are flat aud bear no inscription. _ It
is supposed that those bearing
names are for white dead and the
others for negroes.— Sav. News

COLUMBUS, GA., THUBSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 4, 1877.
LOUISVILLE, KY.
ITS SETTLEMENT, GROWTH, TRADE, AC.
Louisville, Jefferson County, I
Ky., January, 2,1876.)
Editor of Columbus Times: Histo
ry tells us that in the year 1703 two
grants of land lying in the county
of Fin castle, Territory of Virginia,
wore made by King George 111, of
England, one to Connelly the Sur
geou’s mate.for2,oooacres; the other
to deWanenstaff Eatinger for 2,000.
This land was patented In their
names in 1763. A part of this 4,000
acres of land is that upon which the
city of Louisville now stands.
LOUISVILLE
is located on the south bank of tbe
majestic Ohio river, upon a beautiful
level plain, at the head of the falls in
said river. Distance to Cincinnati
132 miles, to Pittsburg 598, to Cairo
308, to Memphis 607, to New Orleans
1,377, to St. Louis 008. The city is
70 feet above the water in tiro Ohio,
20 feet above high water rise, and
has a river front of 1| miles. It has
an area of 13 square miles. The hills
which line the river recede from the
river some 8 miles above the city,
and approach not again for 20 miles
below, leaving a level plain 5 or G
miles.
ITS HISTORY :
In 1770 the lands were surveyed, but
it was not until 1773 that any o.io set
tled on the grounds. Cant. Thomas
Bullit, of Virginia, in the name of
Virginia aud Mary College, laid out
the place. He died soon afterwards.
In 1779 there was a stockade built to
protect the people against the In
dians ; the next year a fort was con
structed ; 1782 another went up. In
1783 the first store-house was built
and the owner bought his goods in
Pittsburg. In 1781 tbe town con
tained 63 finished houses. The first
brick house was erected in 1797. The
year 1797 inaugurated the first
town government. In 1800 the town
numbered 600 inhabitants; no in
crease shows up to 1820, on account
of its known unheaithfuluess at that
time; 1825 the Canal Company was
chartered with a capital of $600,000.
Iu 1828 J. C. Bucklim was chosen
mayor; ho was the first one ever
elected. The first school house was
built under his administration.
In 1832 the great Ohio floid com
menced ; the line was 51 feet above
high water mark.
STEADY GROWTH AND IMPROVEMENT.
From 1832 on,Louisville has steadily
increased up to date. Since the war
the increase has been greater than
usual before.
One-fourth of the inhabitants are
steady, hearty, well-to-do Germans.
The Irish form one-tenth. The
Negro has perhaps two-tenths.
Other nationalities are small. The
balance of the population are native
whites or those who have become
citizens from other States in the
Union.
OTHER FACTS.
There i9 80 miles of street railroads;
119,263 miles of streets; 29,420 miles
of sewers; 90 miles of gaspipe—laid.
The Water Works and Fire Depart
ment have no equal. The railroad
bridge across the Ohio is 5,2183 feet
between abutments; the total cost of
this superb bridge was $2,015,819.63;
the piers are rock, the bridge iron.
The bonded debt of tbe city is near
$10,000,000.
BUILDINGS.
There are many beautiful and cost
ly ones, both public and private, con
sisting of court house, hospital, col
leges, churches, temples, theatres
and private residences, with hotels,
and tho Courier-Journal office. The
Galt House cost $1,000,000; it is under
tho management of J. P. Johnston.
Yet it does not pay the owner of the
house.
Public and private schools are up
to all the modern arts of teaching.
The value of the public school prop
erty is $1,200,000. The night schools
are well attended.
LOUISVILLE 8 BUSINESS.
The total amount of business done
in 1876 i3 estimated at $165,000,000. If
this be true, there is availing off in
her trade of some $13,000 under last
year. She exports whiskey, tobacco,
dry goods, cotton and meats. She
has large importations, her Custom
House tax reaching about $60,000 a
year. She paid an internal revenue
tax on whiskey and tobacco of $2,-
089,966 in 1875.
Whiskey and tobacco are the heav
iest trade of Louisville. The tobacco
trade is equal to any city of its size,
the volume of its trade in the city
year before last reached over $300,-
000.
HOG AND HOMINY.
This trade is large—annually some
200,000 hogs fall beneath the hog
man’s axe in Louisville and are here
packed for market.
The manufacturing interest is
large and on the increase. There are
near a thousand manufacturing
interests in the city, with a cash cap
itla of $17,000,000, employing 14,000
hands.
BANKS.
There are some 25 io number, with
a cash capital of over $9,000,000, and
$8,000,000 deposits. There are other
banks and bankers who do a large
banking business. “B.”.

The Cronin lnvexilKatlon,
Washington, Jan. 3.—There is noth
ing new in tho Cronin evidence, be
yond the fact that Parker and Mil
ler, who acted with Cronin in the
Electoral College, are Democrats,
though they cast their ballots for
Huyes and Wheeler. Cronin had no
conversation with Senator Kelly,
and consulted no lawyer regarding
his course. After being elected mes
senger, Cronin asked leave to resign,
as he could not afford to make the
trip, tad spent $1,500 in cam
paign, had no promise the
money would bo refunded to
him, spent the money with no idea of
getting it back; his, law practico
is worth fivo to six thousand a year.
Some Democrats present expressed
willingness to help pay his expense

THE EASTERN QUESTION.
London, Jan. 3.—lt is reported that
Gen. Ignatieff, Russian Minister at
Constantinople, has already embark
ed the archives of the Embassy.
The News’ Constantinople dispatch
says somebody is encouraging the
Turks to resist. Some believe Aus
tria is doing so secretly.
News’ Vienna dispatch says Igna
tieff voted for the prolongation of the
armistice on the understanding that
it should apply to Servia and Monte
negro.
The Telegraph’s Pera dispatch says
at the conference between Salisbury
and Midhat, Midhat declared the
Sultan would uphold his right and
put his trust in God.
London, Jan. 3.—The Pall Mall
Gazette says editorially: Wo have
good reason to believe that tho out
look eastward is at least as dark as
tho telegrams make it appear. We
were not prepared for the thorough
going obstructions of the Turkish at
titude. Even if Turkey desired a
rupture with Russia, it was unneces
sary for them to almost court general
denunciation by rejecting everything.
They might simply have presented
counter proposals which Gen. Igna
tieff could not accept. On the other
hand, it may be that having deter
mined to light rather than to submit
to Russian demands, ministers think
it will serve them best with their own
people to reject all manner of inter
ference in one word; and then we
hear that Gen. Ignatieff is instructed
to listen to no counter proposals at
all. If so tho next session of the
conference will probably be the last,
and by tho end of the week Lord
Salisbury will be on his way home.
Paris, January 3.—Prince Orloff,
Russian Ambassador, had a long con
ference with Jules Simon to-day. The
Eastern question is considered very
grave. A Cabinet council, under the
Presidency of Marshal MacHahon, is
