Carpet dagger Reed, who calls himself gov
ernor of Florida, has felt himself moved to
the publication Of letter in defense of his
asperse6 but virtuous character against the
assaults of his fellow carpet baggers, Gleason,
the so-eahed lieutenant governor, and the
members of the pretended Legislature. These
people were all friends and allies when they
commenced the business of plurdering the
people of Florida by way of reconstructing
the State; and all of them are "trooly loiI'
vet, in spite of the differences which have
arisen among them. IN fact, which ever party
proves to be the superior in villainy, will, of
course, stablish its title to superior "loilty.
Carpet-hagger Reed says that carpet-bagger
Gleasoniarranged with ga party in Washing
ton" to, get possession of 100000 OF State
bonds nc thirty cents on the dollar, and pro-
posed to him (Reed) to divide the profits.
Senator Osborne, so-called, likewise proposed
TO obtain from the United States government
the grant of a large tract of land at Pensacola,
which vas to be sold to Osborne at a nominal
price w means Of the governors influence
over sle surveyor general. Reed now de-
clares that he rejected these proposals
wbereSpon the "Iing" decided to i'm
peach and remove him. This they at
tempted to effect by b-ibing the members
of the Legislature with a scheme for double
pay, which those hungry patriots snapped at
of course, but which the governor vetoed
when it was put into bill. Then the I'M
parchment was carried through the Senate,
but Reed declined to leave, and brought the
matter before the Supreme Court, which de-
cided that there was no quorum present at the
time, and consequently no valid impeachment
The court likewise decided that Gleason was
not ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, as he did not possess
the Qualification of three years residence.
This is Reeds story. Gleason and Osborne
declare that Reed is corrupt and altogether
wicked person, as, instead OF giving tbs
Offices to his "trooly loil friends, he sold
them at auction to the highest bidder. Boil
parties in this controversy probably tell the
truth about their adversaries but the re
markable thing is the supposition that revela
tions Of this kind viii damage either Of then

brethren. r,-l.s I.r, &

In Cambridge, Massachusetts, the police officers
arrest all children found in the street during
for their absence. An Irish boy recently told an
officer that 90 he had been excused to attend a
fnneral." He was found, very soon after, at

not at the funeral. The reply was that he had
been down to the house, naming its resident, but
the man wasn't dead yet.'

The news from Cuba, though evidently col
ored by the official censorship, is yet sug-
gestive of anything else than speedy
suppression of the revolt-or, in fact, than
any suppression at all. The troops which
arrive from Spain are sent off Immediately 10
the insurrectionary districts but their num-
beris not great enough for effective operations
against movement which has attained such
proportions as to embrace by far the larger
and more populous portion of the island. Gov
eminent reports continue to claim successes
at all points, but such accounts as we are per-
mitted to receive from the other side assert that
the insurgents are increasing in numbers, and
that they have driven tbs Spanish garrisons
into the large towns. One indication OF the
preponderance of the insurgent cause in the
eastern department, is the proclamation OF
general tax, and the appointment of officers
to collect it. The government papers Ike
wise complain that the "rebels " are con-
scribing the men en- maSss, which they GER
tainly would not be able to do if they had not
control of the country. On the whole 1.-THE
revolution seems to have become a movement
of real magnitude and importance.
PosToFFIcE.-The postmaster informs us
that with the incoming year he will dispense
with the written lists of letters posted daily
in the Hobbies Of his Office, and that he does
this at the suggestion of agents of the depart
ment from Washington. The putting up OF
such lists is not required by law, and it is be-
lieved it leads to improper presentations and
other methods of fraud upon clerks engaged
at the general delivery.

The LITE Ex-Gov. MoREHEAD. Charles
S. Morehead, ex-governor of Kentucky, died
suddenly and unexpectedly, on the 21st inst,
at his plantation in Washington county,
Miss. In the period preceding the late war,
Gov Morehead was a man of high political
mark, and had filed large space in public
affairs; and in every position he had acquitted
himself with distinguished credit. Though
endowed with vigorous intellect his moral
qualities formed the most remarkable ele-
ments Of his character. The very personifca-
ton of honor and integrity in his public and
official relations, he was not less noted for the
geniality of his manners and the warmth OF
his friendships in his social and private rela-
TONS
There was something touching and even
traeical in the, circumstances of Governor
Morehead's death. The plantation at which
he died was property which, after the war,
when nearly seventy years of age, by dint OF a
cheerful and indomitable energy under difficult
ties which might have appalled, amuch younger
man, he had restored from state Of wreck
and devastation to condition of good order
and productiveness. He had made an un.
usually fine crop the past season. His pecu
