.To-night Bowling is somewhat alarmed over
the publication OF bis letter. The truth is, the
letter has not yet been sent to Tyner, and may
NOS be- but was written by Bowling to
send as parting shot in case he was
removed. The chanses are that he will be re-
ta3ned, for to remove him, in opposition to the
very general indorsement for his retention by
the commercial classes of Toledo, will be the
worst blow which the sham civil ser vice policy
has yet received. Bowling received dispatch
te. day, numerousl7 signed by Toledo people,
that II he was removed he would certainly be the
Republican nominee for Congress, as his Repub-
hcan friends would eonstrue his dismissal ss en-

NEW ORLEANS AND FLORIDA.

Editor De1nocrdt-New Orleans may, in q few
years, claim Its former prosperity, since late
events have brought food-tde that has lifted
her from the rocks on which she has been
stranded for tho last ten years, and hoated her
again into the channel Of progress.
In due appreciation of the recognition Of this
fact abroad, we should leave nothing undone to
thoroughly o,nfrm this impression among the
adjacent tributaries OF eommerce. In this wide
awake age we must be conscious that great
natural market should make proper advances to
its tributary commercial regions, 10 the end
that these may share its cares, and take pride In
It's enterprise.
While New Orleans has never been found want
fit. would submit q few remarks concerning it's
trade connections with q rich Southern State
Florida is unsurpassed by any State in it's
steady healthy growth, in Its production Of trop-
ical fruits, and in it's extraordinarily genial
climate. It is destined to become the Italy OF
America.
Having just returned from that State where I
made q careful tonr as representative Of GER
tain New Orleans interests could not help be-
ing favorably impressed with the kind feelings
harbored for New Orleans in every part of the
State, and with the manifest interest with which
they regard her future Many Of her citizens
have told me, Were your rates of freight Dual
to those of competing markets we would render
you more than sincere wel-wishes."
Now, the object Of this communication is to
suggest the abolition Of high freight rates to
Florida. 1t IL not new modes Of communications
that are needed, but the proper use OF existing
ones, and change in rates to enlarge our trade
with Florida. am pleased to be able to COM
mend the course of the Roberts Steamship Com
pany, and the intelligent manner in which they
have shown their appreciation of this need. 1t is
highly desirable that we should have through
rates to all points in Florida, 80 that we may suo.
cessfully compete for trade with other receiving
and distributing points. / hope to see all dry
goods, hardware, Western produce and grocery
houses putting forth their energies in order to
secure for themselves the Florida trade. Re.
spectfully, s.B.U.

with n Fair Cust0na-HOuse Count.
1t was limited yesterday about the Custom
Hofse that the colored Republicans were some
what afraid, from statements made by the
Stamps -Carrollton crowd that they were not to
get q full
oNE-TH1RD SHARE
of the Custom. House patronage and that they
were preparing again to make raid upon Col
lector King, TO bulldoze him into point blank
acknowledgment OF their so-called rights. Learn
ing this our reporter paid visit to prominent
customs official to learn his views as to such
course, and to fatbom, If possible, the result
should the "bulldozng" be attempted. the
conversation on the points mentioned being as
fellows:
Reporter--Are you aware that another ATTEMPT
ia to be made to secure the "one-third" patron
age for colnred Republicans?
Official have heard as much. but do not
credit the rumor, rs when the delegation called
present they understood that the Collector would
consider the names they sent in.
Reporter--Were they told that all whom they
recommended would be appointed to positions in
the customs offces2
Oficial-No. sir On the contrary. the Col
leetor told them he would make such selections
as he saw proper.
Reporter suppose the "one. third" patronage
was allowed them, how would it be divided2
Oficial-It would include, OF course, oil Of the
Naval Office appointments made or to be made.
as well ne those in the Surveyors Office.
Reporter-Does the New Orleans delegation
that called upon the Collector represent the en-
tire colored Republican voting population of the
State?
Oficial-Not by any means. They represent
merely the parishes of Orleans and Jefferson;
but why such question az that2
Reporter that being the case, suppose a
similar de egation from each and every parish in
the State were to follow the precedent OF the Or
leans delegation, and call on the Collector, what
do you think his course would be
Oficsi-He would treat them exactly as he
has the others.
Reporter--Yes; but would he accord each OF
the country parish delegations 'one-th
representation in his patronage2
OMcial-Why, If he did that, he would be over
run with colored clerks and employees. No, he
could not do that.
keporter-How many men did the Orleans
DELEGATION AK places for 2
Ofical-I understand that they want to get
about two hundred in.
Reportep-Well, if the Collector should decide
TO give each parish representation of one in
has appointments, considering that to be fair
from your political standpoint, would not that
dity-eight selected, one from Orleans and one
from each OF the parishes give them all they are
entitled to?
Ofieisl-Yes, sir, / think it would. and il NAV
be that the Collector will adopt that plan.
heard it spoken OF in his office last week.
Reporter-Then where would the Orleans dele |
cations two hundred come in?
Ohcial-Well, sir, can't tell exactly: perhaps
IN the cotton or sugar fields they certainly |
would not come ''ln" the Custom. House.
