1t now looks as If the Democrats, OF
Conservatives, have carried Florida with {
sweep. The election was for Lieutenant
Governor, one Congressman, and the Stats
Legislature. The Democrats carried them
all. In 1868 the Republican majority wa,
6,3ls.
| Tennessee has returned six Democratic
members of Congress and elected two Re
publicans- X. Butler and Horace May.
nard. Stokes is defeated, which is to be re-
GREETED, as if there were to be but two Re
publicans from the State, Maynard and
Stokes should have been the two.
The Richmond State Journal comedies
the election of the Conservative candidate for
Congress in the First District of Virginia.
1t claims that the State has been carried by
the Republicans on the aggregate vote.
The Providence Journal says that the
two prosecutions for bribery in the election,
commenced in that city on Thursday, are
but the beginning of series of similar cases
which are to be prosecuted with vigor, under
the United States statute.
The Richmond Wing tells the Demo-
Gratis that if they wish to retain the ascend
ency in that city they must do justice to all
classes, colors, and conditions of people. An
excellent programme, but one hard to be
carried out-by Democrats.
The Detroit Post thinks that of the
Michigan constitutional amendments those
increasing the salaries of the State officers
and relating to railroads are defeated, and
those striking out the word "white," and al
lowing the raising of $1,000 by county SUI
peryisors for building bridges, &C., have been
carried
s2-The Louisville Courier-Jounal speaks of
the election in that city as very quiet and
says: ''The lightness of the vote polled in
dicates that thereiwas..not any popular interest
actively engaged on either side. There was,
in truth, but little organization. Even the
negro vote was no, fully cast. Nor was
there so much as fisticuf from first to last
The feeling that prevailed was one of passive
good-nature.'
The Baltimore american gives the fol-
lowing as the Democratic majorities for Con-
gresham in the several Districts of Mary
land: First District, ), 729; Second, 6,662;
Third, 1865; Fourth, 100; Fifth, 2,226;

Condition Of Southern Education.
From the Christian Statesman. |
The proprie:y and necessity of national
system of education are forcibly illustrated By |
the condition of the Southern States with |
to education, as follows:
!. Delaware, without school supervisors,
and no provision for the blacks.
III. Maryland educating colored children
only in Baltimore.
III. Virginia just putting free-school
law ON her s,atute-book.
". Kentucky just enacting a new school |
law but giving no opportunity TO colored
youth.
V. Tennessee, with school system es-
tablisled in work of reconstruction, but |
endangered by more recent political changes. |
vi. North Carolina, at the close of the last
year, not school in the county districts I'M |
der the State law.
VII. South Carolina slightly in advance
Of North Carolina.
VIII. Georgia where she was before the
war, utterly against schools.
IN. Alabama, with free-schOol system,
vet SO connected with the old order of things
As to rob it of its usefulness.
\. Florida, with her system partially or
yanized. s-rr
Nj. Mississippi, just making her school
laws. .-- -rv-r-l
MI. Arkansas, with an efficient system
,nly partially organized.
Mi. Louisiana, efficient in theory, but
y no means perfect.
XIV. Texas, without legislatio n, the SEN

lsaportsnee Of the Dairy Intesest.
From the Buffalo q. " Live Stock Journal.
The dairy interest of the United States is
,ecoming of vast importance. The present
product Of cheese is supposed to be 800, O0O,-
100 pounds, which, at fifteen cents a pound,
mounts to S45, OOO, 900; and of butter, $751;
,OO, 600 pounds, which, a, twenty-five cents
,er pound, amounts to Sl25, SOC, 600; with
100, OOO. 600 gallons of milk, sold in cities
md towns, and so, 0OO, 900 gallons consumed
n families where produced, worth $780,
No.; making together a dairy product Of
S2l6, 75O, 600. ri
Bot if We examine this great interest in
letail, We are surprised that the product is
70 email. The number of COWS is now prob
IDLY not les than 8, 000, 600 the number in
1850 was Is, 72S, 862). If we suppose that
J, 000, 900 devoted to the production of butter
i would give only lis pounds per COW; and
!, 5O0, 900 COWS devoted to the production of
rheese, only 200 pounds, per COW; 100000
rows for the production Of milk consumed in
cities and the families of producers; leaving
l, 500, 600 COWS in the Western and South
western States devoted simply to raising
too. 49, ..-aa .--- ~ g
1t will be seen that the produc, OF butter
md cheese is not more than half what it
should be with proper attention to breeding
md feeding. In proof Of this, We have only
% cite the report of the First Collins Cheese
Factory Of Erie county, n. Y. for 1869,
