FLORIDA AFFAIRS.
Senator Jones, Of Florida, received dis
patch from Tallahassee last evening stating
that Governor Drew had been inaugurated,
and the Legislature organized with eight
Democratic majority on joint ballot-four
majority in each house. There was no dis
turbance, and no opposition from the Radi-
calls.
To-day or tomorrow some important mat
ter will be laid before the Senate with regard
to the rascality Of the Radical canvassers and
the Returning Board, and disclosing the
schemes and acts OF the interruptions Radi-
cal wire-pullers sent to Florida by Chandler
& Co. It is believed that such disclosures
will be made as to utterly disgust every re-
spectacle Republican senator and the coun-
try at large with the means ,resorted to by
Radical emissaries to steal the vote OF a
State Washington Union.
REPUBLICAN TALK OF A NEW ELECTION.
| Since the publication Of Grants last Sum
day interview there has been much talk OF
holding q new presidential election; but it
| Is entirely confined to Republican circles.
| The Democrats, and the people generally,
know that Mr.. rilden was fairly elected in
November last, and propose that he shall
be inaugurated. The eagerness with which
| the Republicans catch at such straws a.
President Grant has thrown out is sgnif-
cant.-IG. ...s; ss,
SETTLING THE PRESIDENTIAL. QUESTION OVER
| aa CHAMPAGNE.
There are. still persons who profess to put
| faith in the success of the Returning Board
conspiracy, and who believe that the presi-
dent OF the Senate may and will resolve HIM
self into returning board OF one and count
Mr.. Hayes into the presidency. That part
of the programme carried out the rest will
| be easy OF accomplishment, say the few
though enthusiastic followers OF Grant,
Chandler g. CO. Mr.. Hayes, they say, will
arrive here Sunday morning, March 4, and
proceed directly to the White House, where
Grant will accord him gracious reception.
Chief-Justice Waite will be there to adj
minister the oath, and then Mr.. Grant will
turn over the keys to become the guest Of
President Hayes, and lunch will be served
and few bottles Of wine will be broken
over the peaceful capture of the Executive
Office. Grant will remain at the White
House for several days to bring up the bayo-
nets and the artillery in case they should be
required, and Monday morning President
Hayes will send the names Of his Cabinet
to the Senate, which is to meet in extra ses-
sion. 1t will hardly be credited that there
are persons credulous enough to believe in
the presidency being appropriated in this
way in defiance OF law and of the will OF
the people, but there are those who discuss
this as not among the probabilities, but the
certainties. But before the champagne
lunch is served Congress will have some
thing to say and do with regard to the presi-
dency, and there is renewed confidence that
q sense of 'justice, of moderation, and of
obedience to law will guide its action
