Proceedings in all respects similar in
tenor and purpose with the above, were
had by the Commissioners for the pro-
curement of exchange for the payment t
of the interest due in New York on the
lst days of JANUARY and July, 1885,
The adoption OF these orders has for the
time being effectually protected the State
against the unjust practice of granting
to Banks the uso of the pub ic money,
and yet Withholding from it any share of
the resulting advantages.

SEMINOLE INDIANS.

Gov. BRooN, of Florida, writing from Wash.
lhgton' TO Col lIousToS, states that hostiIilies
against the Seminole Indians are TO he prosecu-
ted with undated vigor, under the command of
Co'. LOOMS. The peculiar exigencies of the
Government, it seems, are such as require the
presence Of Gen. HAnxEY upon another field. bu,
tho policy inuugurated by him is to be carried
OUT. Ihe Governor had an interview on the
subject with both the Secretary of War and Gen.
ocorr' and received assurances from them that
the war will be prosecuted with the utmost yipor
ana That no suspension of hostilities was contem.
plated lie also expresses the belief that Gen.
hARSEf will return to Florida, if necessary. af.
ter he shall have tranquiIized Kansas, where he
has been ordered, and in the meantime his Ex.
ceileney will urge upon the Department the ne.
cessity Of increasing tile force in Florida.

that the whole arrangement will be completed

Governor Walkers Man;festo.-Dcspatches
to New York give IN abstract Of the introduc-
tory manifesto Of Governor Walker to the peo-
pie OF kansas lie says he has consented to be
Governor at the earnest solicitation Of the Presi.
dent, with the cordial concurrence of the CaLi.
net: lie gives a review of the history of slavery
IN the United States; and, upon tho popular SOW.
ereignty doctrine Of the Kansas. N Nebraska act,
says the people, in the Constitution which they
are about to frame, must settle the question Of
slavery for themselves. He says further that
the President recognises the validity of the local
laws providing for the June election; and adds,
in regard to the stand-of policy OF the Free
State party, the following emphatic remarks:-
Throughout our whole Union, however and
Wherever free Government prevails those who
abstain from the exercise Of the right Of suffrage
authorize those who do vote TO act for them in
that contingency. aud the non. voters are as much
bound under the law and the constitution as
well as by an overfnng moral necessity, by the
act Of the majority of those who do vote as thongi,
oil had participated in the election"
Tho Governor urges the Free State party TO
take part in the Juno election. He has to en-.
force the laws, and considers the provisions for
the election fair and reasonable. If there should
even be frauds in the election, he thinks the con-
vention itself will be honest In fact, to use his
own words "he cannot doubt that the Conven.
ton, after having framed State Constitution,
will submit it by solemn oath for ratification or
rejection by majority of the people Of Kansas"
lie follows this up with a constitutional argu-
ment Ho then makes an earnest appeal to the
people for general participation in the election,
&c, toxching upoa Indian titles, boundaries,
pendent upon the early admission Of Kansas as
a State.
lie refers to Nebraska, soon to become State,
and to "the great aud fertile slaveholdinG Irdian
Territory on the South, soon to becomesn State,
aided and encouraged by the State of Kansas"

The Pri"tey.-The Belfast Mercury gives
the following in relation to printers
From high to low they are the same
careless, lighthcarted, clever, well Informed,
reckless fellows, knowing how to act better
than they do,nothihg at times-cvcrytling
if the occasion requires, or the fit takes
them. No sooner are they comfortable in
one town than they make tracks for anoth-
or, even though they travel on "hair space"
means. And to what will they not turn
their hands? ave have seen," SAYS the
American editor, "ons and the same indi-
vidual of the craft a minister in California,
r lawyer in Missouri, n sheriff in Ohio,
boatman OIL western canal, sailing a pri-
5yateer, and preesman in large printing
office. Nor are the characters confined to
a"y Que country-they are everywhere tho
same.
We have met them as lecturers, actors,
travelling preachers, ventrioquists-in fact,
everything. We have met on a tramp In
this country members of this rowing profes-
sion from all parts of the globe-Frencll-
men, Spanards, Portuguese, Germans and
Swcdes. and ali apparently as much at
home as in their own country. Ardent
lovers of liberty, king craft and priests find
but little favor in their eyes. They are al
ways with the people. When the Cl,artist
excitement WIS raging in England. tt @ most
eloquent and spirited leaders in the move.
nent were printers. When Laricadcs were
raised in Paris in 1913 the compositors cast
their types into bullets and fred them at
the royalist troops. When the Americans
were at war with Mexico one of General
Iaylor's regiments was composed almost
entirely of printers, and they were the bra
vest'of his troops!"
