JUDICIAL CONVENTION.

The inaugural message of Gov. Lud-
ington, which we lay before our readers
this week as supplement, is just such
document as was to have been ex.
pected from the man--short, clear,
sensible, and devoted entirely to the
States business. In the main, we
think, it can but meet with the hearty
approval of the people, though the
views expressed on the railroad ques-
ton will doubtless call out good deal
Of criticism. For our own part, we
should like to see the Potter law left
intact until it shall be thoroughly tes-
through the prosperous year
which is now coming, as we'll as the
dull ones we have just had.

rcturns to show great popular majority for
TlLpEN. But thry neglect pointing out TINT
all the majority except few thousand comes
from the South, where fraud, terror, pressure,

majority than T1IDgN received iii his four

HAYES has l60 and T1LDEs only 05. The re-

The Chicago organ of tho Confedorates,

has attacked the Administration for eight
ycaEs. What Gen. GRANT probably said
and undoubtedly meant was Tint, IT
Mr.. HAxEs should provo to hayo

votes, he (GRANT) would see 10
It that HAYES should be inaugurated, and
that the American people should not bo

the duty Of Gen. GRANT to retire, aud during
the last fow months Of his Administration
allow the Government to be crippled as Bu.
cnANAx did, 40 that Ills lawfully-c1octed suc.
cessor will have to fight for his in-
auguration. or expose himselt as tho
victim Of mob, the Times will
find very fow people to agree with it. We
bcliovo that Con. GRANT will equally do hia
duty In this regard whether HAYES OF T11pEH

that he failed to enforce the laws or preserve

Tho Election law in Florida provides for q
registration of votes by the Circuit Clerk, at
least six days before the election. The ap-
plicants for registry must tako tho following
onth:
lido solemnly swear that vii, support, protect,
and defend tho Constitution and Government Of
tho Cnited States, and Tho Constitution nnd Gov
crnment Of the Stats Of Florida, against all enc.
niles foreign and domchtic: that I Will bear true
faith, loyalty, and allegiance 10 tho s1He, any
ordinances Or resolutions Of any State Convention
OF Legislature 10 tho contrary notwithstanding. So
help mc God.
The details Of conducting elections are
generally the sarue as In this State. At the
close Of tho polls at sundown tho voto has to
be counted and tho returns made out in 6u.
p1icato. Within six days tho returns of each
county are canvasscd by the County Judge,
Circuit Clork, md Justice Of the Peace,
mud copies ars forwarded to the Governor
aud Secretary Of State. Tho stato Board Of
CanvasserB is composed Of tho Secretary Of
State, Attornoy-G General, Comptroller Of the
State, and such other State officer as these
may select, Within thirty-tivo days from
the election (Deo. 1a) this Board is to can.
vass the returns Of the whole state for State
officers, members Of Congress, and OF the
Legislature, aud declare who Is elected. In
canvasaing tho vote, the Doard Is thus en-
powered by Inv:
II any retHrns shal1 be shown or shall appear to
be 80 Irregular iulae, OF fraudulent that tho Board
shall be unable to determine tho true voto for Apy
such officer or member, they shall 40 certify, and
shall not include such rcturnA In their determine.
tlon and declaration.
From this it will DO seen that the Board
may reject any return which by proof or on
its faco shall be so irregular, falso, or fraud
ulont that tho Board shall bo unable to do
termiue tho true vote for any such officer or
member. It would Boeu from this that tho
Board Gun go behind tho returns, and hear
and receive evidence i1npeaching tho regu-
larity, the truth, and integrity Of the roturna
MS mado by tho county officers. Thcir de-
cision is final mud decisive. The Board is
not confined, rs in Louisiana, to cases where
the election has been rendered void by vio-
lence or intimidation they may upon any
evidence, which will render it unable for
them to determine the true voto, reject my
return. In tho specification Of officers whose
election is to bo declared by this state Boartl,
Presidential Electors are not named but as
no other persons arc nnmed to canvass the
voto for Electors, 1t Is assumed they foil
within tho jurisdiction Of the State Board.

WHEN vehicles have been newly
painted do not be in a hurry to use
them it is economy to let them stand
until the coat is thoroughly hardened.
A GOOD cement for covering the joints
of ovens, which becomes very hard and
does not crack, is made by mixing equal
quantities of finely sifted wood ..ashes
and clay. Some salt is added, and then
sufficient water to form a dough. The
cracks should be covered while the oven
is cold.
The following is an iron cement which
is unaffected by red heat: 4 parts by
weight iron filings, 2 parts clay, l part
fragments of Hessian crucible. Reduce
to the size of rape seed and mix together,
working the whole into a stiff paste with
a saturated solution of salt. A piece of
fire brick car be used instead of the
Hessian crucible.
