WA@Aa
The readers Of lhe Herald have
been advised that Reid, the carpet
bag thief, who calls himself Gov
ernor Of Florida, has recently de-
elared martial Law in that Cypress
Cd and misgoveFned State. The
reason for this infamous decree
may be judged from the following
brief, but scathing exposition
from the New York World. That
paper says:
"When the reconstructed State
government usurped the reins of
power in Florida, in June, 1868,
the State debt was 1923, $685., all
told. At this date, booked and
authorized, it amounts to Sl4, $685.
544.44; an increase in two years
of about $500 per cent! OF this
amount 3,96S, 600 are in rail
road aid bonds, bearing s per
cent. gold interest, and calling for
u consequent annual tax upon the
people of $l,ll7,4 4O gold. Flori-
da having, according to eX Gov
ernor Walker, but some twelve
thousand tax payers, each tax
payer, to maintain the credit Of
these bonds, must pay about S93
gold per annum, besides his share
of the ordinary annual revenue of
$1,000 currency, or 1885 per
head, for the support Of the civil
establishment. Both put together
make an annual impost Of 5l,296,
230.40-over six times the tax
heretofore; and to suppose that
any community can stand the rails
ing of It's taxes skiold is too alb
surd for belief. Bankruptcy, swift
and utter, is the concomitant OF
any such financial legislation.
AS to the Governor himself, the
information is on a par with that
respecting the bonds, How he
went on to Washington with q
forged statute of Florida in his
pocket, all duly signed, sealed
and certified, and yet which hat
never been even so much as heard
Of in either house Of the Legisla.
ture or in the office Of the Secre
tary Of State, and how one of thC
State officers, hurrying on tC
Washington after his chief, dis
closed the forgery and prevented
the issue to the Governor Of thu
Agricultural College land scril
claimed under it; how Mr.. Rcee
received money on State accoun
and, putting the money in hi!
pocket, paid over into the treasG
ry the nominal amount in deprcci
ated scrip how he bought Quaker
guns for his militia and pocketeC
the difference between the rea.
bill and the one rendered; how he
had himself incorporated into all
sorts of land.grabbing and other
priviledged monopolied compa.
mics; and, finally, how he agreed
to call a special session of the Leg
islature to pass certain railroad
bills for the sum of twelve thous-
and dollars in cash." have all been
told from time to time in The
World as the facts appeared or
charges made in Florida, and no
wonder their perpetrator feels sore
at The Worlds exposure of his
deeds. 1t is quite natural he
should make speeches, and attrib
ute the evils laid at his door to the
advertisement given in these col
umns; and equally natural that he
should seek to stir up a militia
war in Florida, a Ia the Grant
Holden assault on North Carolina,
to cover up his malversations
and retain himself in power. A
State debt raised in two years
from $780, 900 to 10000 900 is but
a fit prelude to a slanderous procla-
nation reciting the necessity oil
| martial law.

disposed of, although the machine
was only patented last month.

feTHE New York Tribune's cor
10 ~spondent had an interview with
bismarck at the Kings head
uarters near Sedan. In reply to
to his 1.-THE correspondents
inquiry what were likely to be the
conditions of peace demanded BY
the King or the Prussian Govern,
ment, the Count replied that there
were three ways of stopping an
attack on the Rhine provinces
First, we might make Alsace and
Lorraine a neutral State, like Lux.
emburg or Belgium, extending
from these countries to Switzer-
land, and so separating France and
Prussia by a group Of neutral
States, but | confess it appears to
me that the neutrality Of existing
small States, is already so difficult
to protect, and is at every moment
capable of so much danger
GUS complication that | do not
think it would be worth while to
make more neutral States with
that new source Of dangers, Sec
ondly, we might annex Alsace and
Lorraine, and hold them as con.
quered territory; but | am sure
that this would not be looked on
avorably by a majority Of my
German fellow-countrymcn. WI
are most anxious to complete our
unity, but we do not want any
people among us who are unwil.
ling members of the German ma.
tlons; that Alsacians would be
most disloyal subjects to the King
of Prussia in spite Of the great
majority Of them speaking the
German language and being OF
Teutonic origin there can be no
doubt. Thirdly, there remains TO
us then as n third course to take
Metz and Strasburg and to keep
them. This is what VIC shall
do. Strasburg particularly is
absolutely needful for the
protection of South Germany,
which is at the mercy Of the
French iarmy so long as France
passes Strasbourg. There is
nothing to stop a French Invad-
ing army now. 1t would be very
unfair il we we're to leave our
South German brethren unpro-
tected, after they have fought so
bravely by our side in this cam
paign. Then, again, by holding
Strasbourg, We could always pre-
vent any movement on the Rhine.
We should be able not only to
march on the army Of Paris, by
the valley of the Marine, but to
take a French army, marching on
Mayence or Coblentz in the flank
and rear. So we have besleged
Strasbourg vigorously, and when
we have got the old German town
back again we shall make a Glib.
raltar of it."
