THE STATE CONSTITUTION.

SIR: Your correspondent at Washington has
fallen into such an in reference TO Florida
matters that feel constrained TO say word by way OF
correction have been for ten years. resident OF
Florida and knoU whereof speak. The Constitution OF
Florida recently adopted comports with the wishes OF
the loyal people. II framed and adopted by those
who Republicans. Democrats and few disaffected
Republicans undertook to defeat its adoption but mser
ably failed Mr. Reed, the recently Governor
not johnson nor in favor with Johnson He is an
old personal friend OF Postmaster General Randall but,
far from being present political friend he is directly
the reverse at least 20 all the public manifestations lat
tery made by Randall Gov. Reed did not leave Wash
ngOn the Florida Government and elect
Randall for one OF the o. g. Senator'S stated by your
correspondent He went back TO Florida TO inaugural
the Government the 9Th Of this month In accordance
with the provisions Of the Constitution Thisbeng done
the Senators will be elected by the Legislature whose
garments there not the smell OF Vandalism. The idea
Of eecting Randall Senator is invention OF
idle fellow in Washington. It had existence in
Florida II Is wrong 10 keep Florida out Of the Union.
Her Constitution should be approved by Congress, and
Senators and Representatives admitted The recent
y adopted Constitution is in all essential features just
what the State needs II s moreover In perfect accord
Republican party is now well organized and can main
tain It's ascendancy, provided II is speedily admitted
Otherwise the party must necessarily crunbe and pass
away. The State being admitted IL is certain TO give
from five TO ten thousand majority for Grant IL would
be party mistake and moral and political crime 10
throw away the electoral votes OF this State. VIC.

THE ERIE RAILROAD WAB

New York, March 30.-Ths Tribune states
that Jay Gould, one of the principal Directors
of the Erie Railroad, had decamped for parts
unknown, taking with him black travelling
bag, which contained between two and three
millions of dollars, being part of the funds over
which Mr.. Osgood was appointed receiver by
Judge Barnard. 1t is surmised that Gould is
by this time either at Toledo or Akron, where
he is to let out the remaining contracts, for the
building OF broad gauge connection between
the Atlantic and Great Western and Michigan
and Southern Railroads. The money suppos-
ed to be i'll his possession is to be used to make
payments on existing contracts,
In the Supreme Court to day Judge Oardoza
adjourned the hearing of the motion to dis
solve the Bloodgood injunction in the Erie
case till the I'd of April.
Messrs. Drew and Fiske deny the sensation
statement that Jay Gould has taken three
millions of funds to Akron, and say they are
all held at Jersey City.
The Erie directors are quietly performing
their duties at Jersey City, and the business
OF the road is steadily increasing.

THE TAX BILL.
The second commiitaa OF conference on the
disagreeing amendments TO the hill to exempt
certain manufactures from duty &c. have
agreed upon report, which it is thought will
be adopted by the two Houses. They alter the
whiskey sections SO as to I'M lict Imprisonment
and fine upon all distillers, Government Off
GERS and others connected with or colluding in
frauds and forfeit the dstilleries in such cases.
The other punishments are stricken out. One
OF the committee says the Government con-
tractors for machinery, &c, have not been
benefited by the change in the bill Mr.. Ferry,
of Michigan, one of the committee, advocated
on amendment that unmanufactured lumber
be exempt from tax on sales, and Mr. Brooks
urged, In behalf of all consumers that flour
should also be thus exempted. The report so
provides, and these articles will therefore re-
main free as under the present law.
