CoSplrIoN OF FLORIDA Mr.. Scion Ro-
binson, lite long Republican, formerly on the
editorial staff the New York Tribune, since the
war resident of Florida, gives the following ac-
count of the happy Radical government of that
State.
The State is cursed by ring as corrupt
as the Tammany Ring, and to the sorrow and
shame of all Republicans, this Florida ring
claims to he the very essence ofRepubllcansm.
Its organ attacks everybody who will not sub
nit to lis control. Its Governor, elected for Il
long term by the most abominable fraud and
corruption, has nearly all the Offices Of the
State in his Gift, and hence controls legislation
and carries the judiciary in his pocket. His
power of removal aud appointment Of officers
is almost unlimited. As i consequence OF
three years of such government az Florida has
been and is afflicted with, the State is bank
rupt and the people forced toa point that lncltes
Il spirit of revolt, and disposition to free them
selves Of their rulers by the aid Of vigilance
committee. The natural consequence will be
the loss Of Florida to the Republican party, for
many of its honest members are free to say that
they had rather see the State under rebel rulers
than under the wicked gang now in possession. "
