Gov. HAYLs says that the Northern
Republican and Southern Democrat are
like Sismese twins, or as he beautifully
expressed it:
"The Republicans of the North ARE
tie natural ~ lies of the Southern Dem
ccrsts, owning the greater portion OF the
property and controlling the chie' en-
i.rprises of the Northern Sistes, just a
the Democrats in the South chiefly rep.

Will you please answer through your
columns the following questions respect
ing the vote of Florida:
/ First-Did the Returning, or more
properly, the Overturning Board, exer-
else judicial power in their count OF the
vote of the recent election2
Second-Was the matter before the
Judges of the Supreme Court, and, if So,
what was this declsion2
Thirds the Supreme Court of Flor
ida partisan court, composed of DEM
ocratic Judges2
Fourth-Did Congress not 60 behind
the returns, IN the Case of Louisiana, in
the years OF 1868 and 1872, and reject its
vote because of fraud?
By answering the above, YOU will con-
fer favor upon one OF readers at this
place. Truth.
Ben,oood, Feb. l9, 1877.
The Canvssslng Board OF Florida did
exercise Judicial powers in canvassing
and making up the returns and thus
gave the State to HAYES and STEARNs.
But the matter was brought before the
courts. comp ,sed of Republican judges,
who decided that the Board, under the
law, did not have judicial powers, but
that their duties were merely OF min
isterial character, and compelled them
to SO make up the returns as to State
officers as to count in DREW and count
out STEARNs. The same rule il 1t
had been applied to the count
of the vote for Presidential electors
would have given the State TO TiLDES
The electoral vote of the State of Louisi-
ana was rejected by Republican Con-
gress IN February 1869 and in 1873, be-
cause of irregularities in the returns, and
the fraudulent action of the Returning
Board. But our correspondent must not
look for consistency IN the average Re-
publican Congressman, and when a
party necessity" arises they forget pre-
cedents, truth, justice and everything
else that stands in the way OF success.

ENGLISH mspu,,c,urers are becoming

ENGLISH manufactures are becoming
uneasy at the prospect of losing the
American trade. The constantly de-
c'essing exports from Europe to this
county is warning OF the increasing sbil-
i!y OF home manufactures to supply all
domestic demands and TO COM
pete with other countries in the
markets in the word. The Presi-
dent OF the Sheffield Chamber OF
Commerce, in 9 recent address, asserted
that English workmen had not come up

by customers" which is q great oompli-
nent TO the superior workmanship OF
the mechanics and manufacturers of this

The prophecy Of the goose bone does

the goose was hatched, and the pre-

only. Take the breast-bone of last
