yoring to restore peace by making verbal agreement
with the Indians, TO confne themselves certain Dor
ton Of the territory promising them that they shall not
be moescd if they keep within The boundary designat
ed for them. The Indians SO much scattered that
il must take some time make them acquainted with
intentions. AS this is done, the war may be
considered Five regiments Of foot will remain in
the territory and The rest leave for their proper stations
TALLAHASSEE, May II, 1889
We give below the returns OF the late election for
member Of Congress far received The vote thus ar
close one and The result is soneu hal doubtful Mr.
Batze will probably carry majority Of little less Than
overbalancedh by Col Downing majority in The East if
the number of votes poled equal that of 1887 The Fl.
nsl result will not be certainly ascerained until the off
cial returns received The friends of Col Downing
in Middle Florida have been caught mapping, lued into
fatal security by the msconceired popularity of their
candidate; while the friends Of Mr. Balzel have been
actively engaged elecloneering for month past Had
Col d visited Middle Florida and taken tie &. Id against
his opponent and Ind his influential friends done their
duty the result would have been otherwise.
The votes for the Constitution have no, peneralIv
been returned. 1t is believed, however, that majority
Of votes have been cast IN It's favor and that the Con.
slitution is ratified by the people Foridian.
