How They MAKE LAWS IN FLORIDA.
The negro and carpet-bag rulers OF
tho Southern States evidently have
nothing TO learn in the science OF lob
bying, as has been proven in numerous
instances still fresh in the popular
mind; but all things considered we
thiok Florida is entitled TO wear the
horns in this branch OF legislative ras-
cality. Florida has, we believe, a car
pet bag governor; she has, we know
q negro secretary of state, and fair
proportion of the sable element in the
various Off :es of honor and trust.
There is now on file with the aforesaid
secretary of state forged act of the
Florida Legislature, entitled ian ac,
to authorize the governor to ask for
and receive the agricultural land scrip
from the United States" This precious
document was duly filed in the Office of
the secretary by the governor himself,
as law. 1t is regularly signed by the
governor, lieutenant governor, secre:
tary Of the senate. speaker aud clerk
of the house, and yet the journals of
both houses prove that it was never
read, never voted for, never even in :
troduced in either, as the members are
prepared to swear, if necessary. 1t is
simply an impudent. bare.faced forgery.
cut out of whole cloth by ring into
whose hands the scrip would have gone
had the scheme succeeded. 1t is 10
the. hand writing of Mr.. Campbell,
whom the governor appointed, not long
since, harbor master of Pensacola, and
that individual declares he prepared
the forged act at the request of another
party who is State Senator and also
United States marshal for Florida.
These facts we derive from the Tai
lahassee Fioridian, are submitted with
out comment to the inspection of an
admiring pub:ic.-S. Louis Republican.
