- "Hell, and Damnation" is the title

= Three republican papers have ex-
pired in Florida since the inauguration

= Alexander H. Stephens, in bis i'll
ness in Washington, is next door to the
room in which Henry Clay died, and
within few doors of the room in which
Daniel Webster died. Four doors off is
the suite of rooms in which Crittenden,
the .Kentuckian, dispensed princely hos
pitality, and the next to that is the suite

- There has been great slaughter of
cattle in Nevada by railroad trains this
winter. The snow has been 80 deep that
the animals have sought the tracks for,
comfortable standing places, and upon
the approach of a train, after making
frantic efforts to scale the banks Of snow
lining the track, have been crushed IN.
large numbers. Hi'. - -
1t is stated that Governor Hayes, in
his annual message to the Ohio Legisla-
ture in 1872, recommended that all elec.
ton boards should contain members Of
the different parties, in order that the
popular will might not be subverted by a.
partisan board. Does his conscience
trouble him in accepting the Office given
him by an illegally composed board which
threw out ten thousand votes cast for bis
opponent ? 90 =. "' -
= The Boston Herald thus concludes: j:
"We believe that the Republican gain>of
the Presidency by fraud this year means
the destruction ofthat party, and arecon-
struction ofpolitical parties on'real issues"
The st. Louis Republican, thus advises ::
"Let the game be played out, and let the
the owners of the marked cards walk off
with the stakes. Better to lose by homes.
ty than to win by scoundrelism." @
The New York Graphic, editorially
assuring the election of Mr.. Hayes to the
Presidency, says: ''The first thing the
new administration should do is to reform
the abuses in the South, so that the coun-
try shall hear no more about Florida
frauds and Louisiana outrages. Self
government is the basis of the republic,
and it must be assured to every State un-
der all circumstances. Let us have an
end to all returning boards.
- Florida, if all reports are true, has
had nice streak of luck in the sale of
State lands. A party Of English and
German capitalists have purchased 9, ,000,-
900 acres of the Florida State lands, and
are organizing nm emigration company.
The money paid for these lands, it is
said, will pay off the State debt and leave
balance in the Treasury. Florida since
the war has become one of the marvels of
the South. ln-ri &
A handbook was presented at the
Springfield, Mass Institution for Saw
ings, one day last week, which had not
been seen by the bank officials since the
original deposit was made, thirty-two
wears ago. The amount of the deposit
was $500, while the interest alone has
amounted to Si,649. During all this
time the owner.of the book had never
entered the bank or asked question rs
to her property, which she now comes to
claim. ~ .lo-" .#t" e ~
Gov. Vance, of North Carolina, is
in receipt of letter from the Secretar
of War, demanding the records of thee
flee Of the Adjutant- General of that st
for the years 1861 70 1866 inclusi i.
Governor Vance has replied, refusing 10
comply with the demand, in the course Of
his reply referring to:certain North Caro-
lima letter-books now in possession OF the
federal government to which he is not
permitted access, but which have been
garbled by designing men, and used to
his. detriment. ~"
= When Cazanave, an Ignorant mem
her of the Louisiana Returning Board,
testified before the Congressional commit
tee, he was much sheered at for saying,
in apparent ignorance, that the election
returns were contaminated" But he
spelledit better than he knew. s"Con.
tabulate" is genuine but somewhat OBJ
solete word, and means "to floor with
boards" So that Cazanave used the
right word in the right place-his Re.
turning Beard having decidedly "foored"
the evident design ofthe Louisiana voters.
