THE FLORIDA INVESTIGATION.

The two Republican members of the
committee that have just returned from
Florida-Mr. Woodburn, of Nevada, and
Dunnell of Minnesota-feel greatly out
ragged because they are represented in
several prominent newspapers as hav-
ing made up their minds that the Til
den electors We're honestly chosen in
Florida and that one or both of them
would probably join in the Democratic
report to that effect. Neither Of these
gentlemen have such purpose, and
neither of them believes that Florida
voted for Tilden They will give some
authoritative denial of the story, per-
haps on the floor of tie House. A GEN
tleman from Florida says that Mr.
WOODBURY. was exceedingly efficient in
the investigation, and the remark is
attributed to him that he had found
frauds enough in two counties to give
the State to Hayes beyond any ques-
ton Mr. Dunnell is equally firm.
These gentlemen tried to observe an
agreement of the committee, that indi-
vidual opinions should not be expressed
until after the evidence was before the
full committee for consideration Their
reticene in consequence of that agree
ment has subjected them to gross mis-
rcpresCntatiOn.

THE LATE DEMOCRATIC MEETINGS.

The Democratic meetings of Monday
last have proved, after all the talk and
buster, but blank shots. 1t is agreed
by all that they will have no influence
upon the solution of the Presidential
question: or if they do, that influence
will be adverse to the Democratic party.
The first and most conspicuous fact is,
that the meetings were manufactured
by few political leaders. After all
the efforts made, the character and con-
duct of the meetings were such as to
excite ridicule and contempt rather than
to gain sympathy and popular support.
The Democrats admit that the meet
ings have done them no coed, and the
Republicans are satisfied they have done
the Democratic cause actual harm. The
result of these meetings has been to in
crease considerably the Republican con-
fdence.

lowing requests: Five hundred thousand

fifty Thousand to Jacob II. Vanderbilt, his
brother; twenty thousand to Rev. Chas. T,
Deems, and from twenty thousand to fifty

AARON BURR is quoted by the Demo-
cratic papers in support of something
about Constitution destined to perish,
&C." This Aaron was the founder and
high priest of the party. He baptized
it in Hamilton's blood, had the honor
of being tried for treason, and was in
all respects one whose life lesson Is
Stunned by every man who desires to
leave good name to his children.
For these reasons-there can be no
other-the Reform Democracy now ex-
hume his smart sayings (from speeches
made before Jefferson beat him for
PresidenD, and print them as prodigies
of patriotic wisdom. Well, they say
the devil himself can quote Scripture.

THE MAY-BENNETT FARCE.

Duellng is a relic of harbarism. A
practice at variance both with the laws
of God and man, universally condemned
by the best opponents of an advanced
civilization, and prohibited generally by
posi- tive enactments as crime against
society. Therefore, no weak plea Of
social standing, no mere profession of
personal responsibility or claim to high
family con ncction, should shield its par
ticipators from the legal penalties Incl
dent upon it. James Gordon Bennett
and Frederick W. May, two Fifth Ave

Democratic States is to rcsound the ire
sistible demand for Tilden or political
chaos. Echoinr and re-echoing Ger
the land Republican Senators are to
fall tainting in the Capitol. Popular
clamor is to drown the silent voice of
calm dispassonate reason, and the con-
centrated aggressive force Of the re-
united and great Democratic party is
to be directed against the sole objective
point-the Republican majority in the
Senate. Yielding to their persistent de-
mands, honest Republicans arc expected
to stand conscience and clam or-stricken
while Tilden, the Napoleonic man of
destiny, is to ride grandly on to power
and place. But wide apart from, and
gloriously in contrast with this cotorie
of Gubernatorial satellites, stands one
firm and dignilied man. He, upon
whom an empire State has more than
once thrust the nonofS OF It's Chief Mag

tons designed to rob him of the higher
honors with which the American peo-

exciting scenes and events Of this cXcep-

far above the level of his recent oppon-
ent, as true craftsmanship is above the
standard of Tammany Hall politics.

Governor Kellogg, and there were indica
lions of an attempt by the Democracy to
axe possession of the station house in
New Orleans. The Democratic movement
