Che Florida Injunction.

The Florida papers of late have SO teem-
ed With the names and rascalities OF SWep-
son, Lnttleheld IL Co, that we wonld sup
pose We had shipped precious load of
scounsrei5 to uilict that little state. (And
inst here, 10 view of the vllanes attempt
ei to be perpetrated by Littefeld upon
the people of Florida, Senator Abbott
might we'll improve one of the frequent
opportunities in which he appears
before the negroes of New Hanover, to ex-
plain his connection with LttiPtield in
their Joint trip to Tallahassee Immediately
before the latter was detected in his swind-
hing operatiOn).
Any way, Swepson and Littlefeld are
about to be brought up in their headlong
course. Many OF our readers will recog
nize IN the name Of one of the complain
ants in the following writ of injunction,
Col. Jos JOHN WILLIAMS, a nativo North
Carolinian, the step-so of the late Judge
Badger, and gentleman of distinction in
his adopted State.
It is but just t3 say that r"nlor pre-
7ailed in Tallahassee Oh the 9th ult.,
based upon letters said to have been re-
ceivcd to the effect that Mr.. Swepson has
declared that. If the reports of the fraud in
tho railroad bill are true, he Will have no
thing to do with it. If this be true the
alteration Of the act was gratuitOus vii
lainy and private speculation of Littlefeld
What precious scoundrel he seems to be-
The charge upon which this in JUNCTION
is founded is. that Littlefield mutilated ar
act of tho Legislature after its passage, in
order to secure the bonds of the State
without proper security on the part OF
himself and Confederates. The following
