Sunday is usually quiet day at ths
Springs, and yesterday WAS no exception.
There is no dancing in the ballroom, no
card parties on the piazza, and even no
f:rtations under the trees. Everything
wears the aspect OF Sabbath in the city.
Two sermons in the church and two ser
mons in the ball room, and the services
are well attended. For the benefit Of
the Roman Catholic visitors mass Is held
in one OF the parlors, so that all classes
Of Christian people can avail themselves
OF the benefits OF religious worship.

them a number of divines of distinction
But ne WAS equal TO the occasion. HIS
text was taken from that passage IN job

his theme WAS Immortality. There was

WASHINGTON, Jan. &c. 1871
IN the Senate. to-day, the only business Of impor.
lance was the speech OF Senator Jones' Of Florida,
who called up the petition Of the democratic Presdsn
sal electors OF Florida, recently presented BY him.
asking that their votes be counted the true return
from that State and addressed the Senate ct length In
regard to the recent election that State He said IL
was universally conceded that peace and order pre-
vailed In Florida Tho government OF the State
had lately been transferred 10 democratic
hands, but IN 1874. while . republican gov
eminent was IN power, II was. admitted that
absolute peace existed there and nothing known
Of White Leagues. He then sent 10 she Clerks desk
and had read from the report Of the Commissioner of
Education OF 1874 TO show that such was the
case, and, rssuming his remarks, said :-This commits
sioner was republican, appointed by = republican
governor The people OF Florida were indebted 70
immigration from the North for much Of their pros.
perity and they did not want any disorder there to
prevent such immigration. He then spoke Governor
Drew, and said no was man OF Northern birth and
Gmon n ~ a 1u. .as people Of the STATE
He then referred TO the Supreme Court, aud
spoke Of tue judges as men Of ability and
that They were honorable men and enjoyed the
hdencc OF the community In which they lived He
then spoke OF the action of the Canvassng Board in
gard TO the recent eiccuon and read the laws OF
the State TO show that the Board acted illegally in
jecting tho vote OF counties. When the returns came
before the Supreme Court afterward II was admitted
mat every return was genuine and regular. A. tho

In the State but the Canvassng Board changed the
