WE'RE IL Otherwise, the Florida
lectors have already cast the vote OF
that State for Hayes. and the return
is in the hands of the President of the

In other words we're you satisfied
that Florida had honestly cast Us vote
for Mr.. Tilden, you would be ia favor
of MIR. Hayes keeping it; or TO put il
in the true light. Although knowing
that the electoral vote Of Florida given

lins had SO disposed of the matter.
Not oniy SO. but when the worthy
editor of the Seneca Advertiser had
penned the above, the Florida Su
preme Court, the very one upon which
the Democracy had builded their hopes
had decided the matter in the same
way. Under its orders the State
Board of Cauvassers had made -e
count of the face of the returns show

officers and giving the State TO thu
Hayes electors by 209 majority. The
Supreme Court refused 70 receive the

under the State larS. elected all the
Republican STATE officers, and gave the
Hayes Gle ;tors $500. The testimony
before the Senate committee shows
the State to have been carried for the
Republicans by the honest vote, by

that about ], 600 of the faithful made q
pilgrimage to Columbus. on the Sth,
and that the City Hail, where the Con
vention was held at 10 time contained
over 1,500 to2 coo persons. citizens and
all considered. Gen A. T. Warner, OF
M-rietta, was made Temporary Chair
man, and made moderate speech. H.
N. Rogers (of the old Continenrals, we
presumr,) was introduced, ard made a
speech, closing by singing ''Oue Hun
dred Weary Ago" The u.uaI Commit
tees aving been appointed. the morn
ing session adjourned. In the after
noon Gen, Durbin Ward was made
Chairman, made a short speech and
gave way to Gentleman George. After
his speech which smelIed OF war-at a
distance-the comnittee on resolutions
reported. The gist of the series was
the third, which is as follows:
Third That, while clear in the con-
viction that Samuel J. Tilden and
Thomas A. Hendricks have received,

On the occasion of inaugurating the
Governor of Louisiana, Oh Monday
last, Two persons, Packard. the person
declared elected by the Returning
Board, and Nichols, Democrat and
White Liner, who claimed the election
by the fraudulent returns, were both
iuaugurated by taeir partisans. The
consequence was a conflict of authori
ty. The Nichols forces, consisting of
White Liners or Rifle Clubs, and pol
ice sworn in for the purpose, paraded
the streets, threatening and in some
cases using violence. The Repubii-
cans were beseiged in the State House,
and for Il tiiue 10 person was even Per-
United TO go into or out OF the build
ings. Even the sick of whom there
were several, were not allowed the
presence OF physician, or of friends
The facts were teleeraphed TO Secreta-

zation thar they Ipust de>ist OIL pain of

Signed j. d CAMERON,
Secretary of War.
In consequence of Gen. Augur's &C
tion, and the placing of U. s. troops
under arms to meet the emergency, the
vigilance of the White Liners was
somewhat relaxed, and persons were
permitted to enter the State House to
relieve the ''bulI dozed" members o
the Legislature and State Officers.
Matters still look threatening, and a
conflict may yet take place between
the opposing forces. II is hoped,
however, that better counsels will pre-
vail and peace be preserved.

Maple Sugar Making.
by C. HORACE HUBBARD.

Sugars are so high that the farmers should
aim to produce the largest possible quantity
and the best quality. The season for max
ing sugar is close at hand, and there should
be no delay in getting the fixtures ready, SO
as to be able to improve the first favorable
weather. There is no business in which the
old rule that the best is the cheapest is more
emphatically true than in sugar making ap.
paratus. There are plenty Of men who af-
firm that wooden spouts and buckets and
galvanized iron pans are just as good as
improved fixtures, besides being cheaper.
But these opinions usually come from men
who kAOV nothing about the things they
condemn. have for half a dozen years
or more, used the best apparatus that could
be procured and am convinced that it pays
A few years since, Mr.. Walker of South

meeting of the board of agriculture at

Of syrup and sugar which received the ad.

his thanks for the advice gave him, saying
he had acted on it and had found it pro6ta-
Bile. lie uses no wood in contact with his
sap except the gathering tab. Mr., Walkers
experience agrees with that of all others who
have tested the matter SO far as l know,
and my own.
There are certain simple rules that are
essential to success The use Of spouts that
allow the sap to flow as soon as the air is
warm enough in the morning, and which do
not allow the hole to dry up while the sap
is not running; the use of timed fixtures
which are SO easily kept clean, aud the evap-
GRAFTON Of the sap as soon as possible after
its escape from the tree without keeping it
over the fire longer than necessary.
