Francis Vose Us. Harrison Reed ct al, Trustees
1t appears that the Legislature OF Florida passed
an act by which certain lands and the proceeds or
sales OF lands were set apart as fund for internal
improvements TO pay the interest from time to time
as 1t came due on lands to be issued by
different railroad companies in the State, and
each railroad company was to pay one-half Of
one per cent On the amount or each bond to be paid
into the fund as security for the payment OF the In
terest II the railroads did not pay the interest on
these bonds the estate was to take the railroads and
sell them to anybody VINO would pay this one-half
OF one per cent, aud the proceeds so Obtained were
to apply to the payment OF interest on the honds.
The war broke out Ia 1860, ana the Florida Railroad
Company failed to pay and continued to do
30 during the war. In 1866 the trustees,
acting on behalf OF the estate sold the
railroad for something over $500, 600, this sum
being enough to pay or the bonds, which were for
$1,000 each. Accordingly, the money was sent here
on deposit TO pay of the bonds at the rate OF twenty
per cent, for whoever would take 1t. number or
persons did take t; but there was balance left and
the plaintiffs now CAIN lien that balance for the
full payment OF their bonds. which, they say were
taken for iron furnished the railroad during its
structiOn. The case now comes up on demurrer by
tile defendants. Decision reserved.
For pIaintn, ex-5udge strong; for defendants, s.

PREFERENTIAL CONFIDENCE ARD
sELF-SUFFICIENCY.

The first thing that strikes one in read
ing Gen. Grants inaugural, is its re-
markable tone of confidence and self
suficiency, which contrasts, not much to
his advantage, with similar addresses by
former Presidents. We will illustrate
what we mean by brief quotations from
the first inaugural address of each Of the
first five of Gen. Grants predecessors.
Washington "The magnitude and
difficulty of the trust to which the voice
of my country called me, being sufficient
to awaken in the wisest and most ex-
penenced of her citizens a distrustful
scrutiny into his qualifications, could not
but overwhelm with dependence one
who, inheriting inferior endoWments
from nature, and Impractical in the duties
of civil administration, ought to bSPecu-
liarly conscious Of his own deficiencies"
Adams: "On this subject it might bets
ter become me to be silent, or TO speak
with diffidence."
Jefferson: 81 avail myself of the
presence Of that portion of my fellow
citizens which is here assembled to ex>
press my grateful thanks for the favor
with which they have been pleased to
look towards me, to declare a sincere
consciousness that the task is above my
talents, and that approach it with those
anxious and awful pIesentiments which
the greatness of the charge and the
weakness Of my powers so justly in>
spire."
Madison: Il repair to the post as
signed me with no other encouragement
than what springs from my own made
quacy to it's high duties. II do not sink
under the weight of this deep conviction
| it is BECAUSE" etc.
Monroe: Concious of my own def
cheney, / cannot enter on these duties
without great anxiety for the result"
Now contrast the anxious lf-distrust
of those ancient weaklings, with the I'M
hesitating air of conscious strength and
easy assurance with which our new Pre-
sident takes up his burden and asserts
his ability to carry it.
| Grant The responsibilities OF thu
position feel, but accept them sOithOu

| sought. | commence its duties untram
melled.'
If Gen. Grant had initiated the mod
est language of his illustriOus predeces
sOrs, his self-disparagament would hay
been so obviously just, that there wa
great danger that he would have bee
taken at his word 1t is not because hi
abilities are greater, but because the
are so conspicuously less, that he tel
the country that he is superior to an
