The Florida Count.

Under the order Of the Supreme Court
Attorney General Cooke. one Of the re-
turning board of that State, on the 2Sth
uH., made canvass of the vote, after the
other members of the board refused to
canvass. This gives Drew 497 and Til
den Of majority. This canvass he filed
in the Clerk office, in obedience to the
order of the Court. Subsequently the
other members of the board agreed to
recanvass, and the full board met and
concluded their canvass, and throwing
one county and part of another, they
give majority for Drew, democrat, for

!" ALMA INDEX"

This is the title of the new paper to
be publish at the town of Alma, in this
county. Its first issue will make its ap
pearance about the first February, provi
ded, sufficient patronage is guaranteed to
sustain it. This we believe has already
or will be done. Its politics will be
democratic, and the material interests Of
the State faithfully looked after.
The "Index" is to be published by q
joint stock company, and the Editorial
and Publishing departments will be in
the hands of Mr.. c. C. CoLBuRN. We
have known Mr.. Colburn long and we'll
and we will guarantee, if the cnterpris.

well and faithfully as the editor and pub
Usher will do his, the success of the 1" In.

be no money made in the enterprise, but
if a community desire journal of their

Our Judicial Circuit,
MULBERRY, January Sd, 1877,

c't ~ -
Mr.. DuSHAM: notice in the papers
that meeting of the members of the
Bar of the 5th Judicial Circuit has been
held at Clarksville, for the purpose Of
dividing the circuit, or forming new
dodge of some one who wants posi-
ton as Judge, or Prosecuting Attorney,
or that change is really necessary, in
the case, may not be prejudicial to any
litigants, do not know, but am willing
to grant that it may be, and do not OBJ
.ect to the circuit being divided; but |
do object TO the division AS set forth in
the memorial to the General Assembly,
Instead of Crawford county being put
in circuit with Sebastian, Scott and Lo-
gan, / claim that the circuits, if reorgan-
lied, should be Crawford, Franklin,
Johnson, Pope and Conway, and that the
other should consist OF. Scott, Sebastian,
Logan and Yell Crawford and Frank
lin constitute Senatorial District, and
Johnson and Pope another, and it would
be well to have the Senatorial and Jul
dicial districts as compact as possible.
Sebastian and Scott form Senatorial
district, as do Yell and Logan. | would
call upon the members of Crawford and
Franklin counties to attend to this mat
ter when it comes before the General
Assembly. Crawford county, | believe,
would be almost entirely opposed to being
put in the district with Sebastian, Scott,
and Logan counties. | hope the matter
will be agitatcd, so that the people may
understand it, before action is had in the
Legislature. A.

Aa~ The citizens of Crawford County,
we are quite sure, would like to know
why it was necessary in the proposed
redivision of the Judicial Districts of the
State, to place this county in district,
on the other side of the river, out of
Judge Mansfeld's Circuit and Yell county
brought on to this side of the river
We noticed that Col. Duval of Fort
Smith, and John Conncllcy of Clarks-
vile, short time since, issued procla
nation TO that otfect--but we have yet to
learn that it receives the sanction of the
citizens of this county. If there is any
good reason for such a division, let us

No BulIdozing in Congress.

Senator Conkling, Of New York, one
of the ablcst of the Republican Senator's,
in presenting the petition Of bankers
and merchants of New York city, in ia
vor Of an amcablc and just settlement
Of the Presidential contest, said
have been requested to present a
petition, weighty by reason Of the sub
ject to which it relates, by reason also
Of the number and character of those
who sign it. The petitioners arc citi-
zens of Now York, distinguished not on
" for their prominence as members Of
society, but for the large and varied in
tercsts they represent. They are men
prominent in each of the great political
parties of the country. | observe n

fiieult to select in any
nc aN IN one hundred and tit-
,s,.wou.u. AJHMd firms who represent
greater sum of property, intelligence
and character, or who rs petitioners de-
serve more consideration. In laying
this petition before the senate it may
not be amiss to add an avowal of my
sympathy with its appeal for orderly,
lawfully and patriotic action. In exc
cutting the constitution in any instance
and especially in an instance so grave
rs the one referred to, partisan feeling
rs guide and rule of action can right
fully have no place. Obedience to law,
observance of the constitution and the
maintenance of truth is not party ques-
ton or proceeding, but beyond party
and above party. Parties may contend,
and | believe it is wholesome in free
government that parties should contend
over measures and candidates, but when
the con est has been submitted to the
ballot-box, the final arbitrament of pop
ular contests known in our system, the
only duty, tho only lawful proceeding
connected with it which remains is to
find the honest and true result; to de-
clare it, to bow to it and TO stand by it.
That is the duty Of the hour. 1t rests
on the two houses of congress, il rests on
the nation, it rests on every citizen of
the republic that it will be done, and
done peacefully, decently and in order.
These politicians do not | think, disbc-
lieye they, in common with all men
may derive confidence from the fact that
interest and expediency, not less than
patriotism aud honor, point in one di
rection and teach one lesson. Whoever
stands Oh right and truth will not fall.
Whoever attempts to stand on wrong
and falsehood will be overthrown.
The Van Buren press., 1877-01-09

The Argus suggests that the virtuous
repudiators are not to be trusted. ave
do not charge that members of the gen
eral assembly will be bribcd, but human
nature is weak, and early and decisive
action ~" 80, remove all temptations"
!. 10 simply means that man who has
promised to repudiate cannot be dcpen-
ded upon. We think this IS true. Any
man who will deliberately propose to
settle debts in that way would hcarken
to consideration. Away with these
demagogues 1t will be better for the
people to trust to Mr.. Miller, who knows
more about this thing than any body
else, and in due time he will tell what
he knows.
The above is from the editor of the
Lewisburg State, Rev W. c. Stout. 1t
is = well-merrited rebuke to smooth
faced demagogueism. The cry of re-
pudiation, is but clap-trap of office
seeking demagogucs, and we hope the
good sense Of the Legislature, will not
be g. aded into any hasty action, thereby
placing the State in "A false position in
regard to her Indebtedness.

The Radicals here are greatly ex.
cited over information from Florida
that the state supreme court would GER
tainly order the votes for electors to be
reconsidered according to the actual pre-

Tilden. Also that the legislature and
governor would forward statement to
congress, showing that Tilden had car
