Fourth Distfict-We have but one return from
the Fourth District, where lnge (dem) is q candi-
date for reelection. His opponent is G. Baldwin
of SumpteT. Greene county gives Baldwin 264
majority. The district consists Of Greene, Stump

Nothing from the Fifth and Sixth Districts In
the Seventh District, Bowdon (dem.) is reelected
by large majority estimated at 1900
According to the Mobile Register the gains and
losses in the Legislature are thus far about even,
and as the democrats had maorties in both Honses,
they are likely to retain the ascendancy. Two
Senators to Congress to be eleoted-one to fill
a vacancy caused by the death of Dixon H, Lewis,
filed temporarily by the appointment of Ex-Gov-
ernor Fitzpatrick; and one to succeed William r.
King, who was appointed to GIL the vacancy caused
by the appointment of Mr.. Bagby to Russia. The
Alabama elections and legislative sessions are

MORE OF THE MOBILE FIREs.-The fire on
Wednesday night last, in Little's drug store, on
Dauphin street, Mobile, just below Royal is the
second fire which has taken place there within
about year. The Herald mentions it as a singu-
lar fact that it originated as far can be ascer
tanned, in the precise spot where it was first dis
covered when Mr. Unger occupied the same store
1t is supposed that it occurred from the ignition of
locofoco matches-probabiy disturbed by rats.
The fire on Monday morning, in the basket es-
tablishment on Dauphin street,, below Joachim, it
is suppose started by design. The flames origi.
mated in the lower story, which had been closed
during Sunday The alarm was so slow that Mr..
Hitler and his family, who occupied the upper part
of the building, narrowly escaped with their lives
and only in their night clothes. Every thing in
their apartment was consumed Mr. Hitler him
selfwas blinded and rendered nearly insensible bv
the smoke, and came near falling victim to it,
Mr.. Killers loss was much greater than that of
any OF the other occupants, amounting to from
$1,000 to $500, with no Insurance. The others

MARYLAND FINANCEs.-The Treasurer of Mary
land designs to pay off portion Of the Public Debt
on the LIST of October next. 1t will be remembered
that when the State rusumed the payment of the
interest of its Public Debt, the of interest
unpaid were funded at per cent, payable an
nually, redeemable at the pleasure of the State.
This funded debt amounted to about 1868 600, and
it is onefOurth of this sum, say 1000, that the
Treasurer now proposes to pay off On the lst
December, l948 the net surplus in the Treasury
was 1926, 900. The receipts into the Treasury
have been greatly increased this year, and the net
surplus on the Ist December, 1919, will be much
more than the above sum.

FLORIDA DIsTURBANCEs.-Mt Movements.
About forty men, belonging to Company F." U.
S. troops, under the command of I'd Lieut.. J. M.
Robinson, left Sullvans Island, Charleston har-
Dor, on Friday the LIST in the steamer Nina, Capt.
A. Magee, for st. Augustine, Florida. The Nina
returned to Charleston on the 9th.
A gentleman who came passenger in her reports
to the Charleston Courier of the 7th, that number
of families had come into st. Augustine, from the
surrounding country, in consequence of apprehen-
sion Of Indian disturbances. An aid Of the Cover
nor of Florida had reached that place for the pur-
pose Of making suitable arrangements for the de-
parture of one or two companies that had volun-
teered to go against the Indians,
lfdings have been received at the Executive Of
flee of Florida Of more Indian hostilites. An ex-
press from Tampa reports on Tuesday evening, the
18th inst, four Indians made their appearance at
the Indian store on Pease Creek, kept by Mr..
Paine requesting sleep in the store, but were re-
fused They reported having large packs for trade
the opposite side of the river and tried to induce
him to go after them. He, together with Mr.
Whidden and Mr.. McColven, went into the
house to supper and had scarcely taken their seals
at the table, when the Indians fired through the
door, killing dead Messrs. Paine and Whidden,
and wounding McColven in the shoulder. Nc
Colven sprung to a gun, which deferred them
long enough for his wife to catch up her child and
rush from the house, he following. The Indians
fired upon them as they run, wOunding both
They secreted themselves in some palmeuoes and
escaped. A camp in the neghborhood was fired
on, on the 18th by four Indians, and boy shot.
The whole of the east is in confusion, the settlers
leaving as fast as possible. There is now not a
doubt in the opinion of the Florida people, of this
being a preconcerted movement of the Indians
and their evident plan is to carry on the worst OF
all wars-a guerilla war.
Gen. L. A. Thompson and Col. B. F. Wilmer

THE PRIZE PITCHER.-We had a sight on Sat-
urday Of the Prize Pitcher won by the Stingaree
Club boat, the Eliza Riddle at the Pass Christian
Regatta. It is beautiful piece of plate, with ell
egant Devices and was, when we saw it, filled with
delicious fresh milk. If the Undine gets out of
the way retiring on her laurels as invincible, as
there is a report that she intends to do, the Eliza
Riddle intends to put in for the First Pitcher, and
set up sdeboard for the display Of the trophies of
victory. By-the-bye, there will be a glorious
chance for her on Monday next at Pass Christian.
The next Regatta comes off on that day, and the
competition will be exciting, for there is Ladies'
Pitcher valued at 5000, to be commended for. The
Hotel gives a second Pitcher and stand, and the
Club a third She mustsail fast that wins that day.
We forgot TO mention that the milk with which the
Club Pitcher was filled, when we saw it on Satur-
day, was seasoned, and sweetened, and acidulated,
and strengthened, by certain infusions and ingre-
dents, which converted it into preparation which
is sometimes called punch, but is none the worse
for that.

This case will, we suppose, be broughtto close
to-day-not too soon for the public, who have long
since tired on an inteminable examination. which
has become evidently merely matter of form.
Everybody, we believe, has been long since salts
fed that the original cause Of complaint is dspro.
we'd. Rey certainly was not removed BY violence
from the protection Of our laws, but went on his
own motives and for his own purposes, which,
by-the-bye, were evidently rovengeflI and meree-
nary. The necessity for giving legal authentica-
ton to these facts has prolonged the inquiry, and
collateral matters have been ingeniously broug ht
in, which give it an interest, independent Of the
point legally at issue. The subject of Cuban eman-
cipaton from Spain has been indirectly treated of,
and the sympathies Of our cOuntrymen with the
republicans Of the Island, who have suffered for
their zeal to assimilate its institutions to our own
and to become part of our Union, have been
artfully enlisted with the fortunes of Rey-a
man who is shown, by all accounts neither to have
nor to deserve the confidence of ANYBODY. He
betrayed the confidence of his Spanish employers,
in the first instance, and then turns informer for
pay against his confederates and whether as in
former or as fugitive, is undeserving of any per.
sonal interest. Not that the insignifoance or I'M
worthiness even of a known criminal could be
pleaded to mitigate the indignityof violating our
laws and insulting our sovereignty, by dragging
him from beneath the protection Of our flag but
the absence Of any merit, emitting him to our SYM
pathy increases the regret all good citizens must
feel that much agitation, indignation and excite,
ment was got up without a more reasonable and
respectable cause The Nation would have unan.
imousy exacted full atonement for national wrong

injury. 1t would not be ashamed of an excitement
on probable, though mistaken grounds, in behalf
Of some pure and eminent individual; but we must
say, that there will be sense Of Impotence and
abasement, at the ridicule of having been fooled
about such man as this Rev.
When the case is disposed of by the Court, we
shall probably have something to say, in a con-
densed review of the whole case.
