. forithe Tlden5 electors, J, ,267. This re-
suit included the 2l9 votes for the Hayes
/ electors which were aided to the vote
cast at Archer Precinct, box No. 2, by
Black and Vance. These. returns were
sent to the Governor and Secretary oil
State. After these returns we're filed
with the Secretary of State an effort was
made to invalidate them so far as Archer
Precinct, box No. 2, was concerned.
Afidavits signed by Floyd Dukes and
Green r. Moore, and an official state
ment from, Mr.. Webster, clerk was filed
with!the State Contrasting Board, for the
purpose of showing that the returns from
Archer Precinct, box No. 2, were false
and fraudulent. 1t also appeared that
Mr.. Belton,; the Justice of the Peace, had
not signed the return filed with the Sec.
retary of State and Governor.
One of the duplicate returns was sent
back to Alachua County, and Belton's
signature was obtained. Moore also. was
induced to make counter affidavit de.
nying the truth of:his former affidavit
A counter affidavit was also obtained
from Floyd Dukes, denying his former
affidavit. The grand jury of Alachua
County investigated the. Archer Precinct
matter, but failed to, find any fraud, and
passed resolution to that effect. Where
upon Mr.. Webster was induced to with
draw his statement aud make another tc

return was all right. Then af6davits and
statements were laid before the STATE

for them.

About the County Printing.

Sometime ago resolution was laid
before the County Board, recommend
ing that the printing for the county
officers be let to the lowest bidder.
No action, other than referring it to
a committee, was taken on the resolu-
ton. The committe failed to report,
and so the matter was dropped.
The printing for the county officers,
aside from the publication of the tax
lists and other legal notices. the rates
for which are fixed by law, amounts
to about $1,000 Ter year. And why
cutting Of the wood for the use
Of the county (Which only amounts to
about $45 per Year, should be let to
the lowest bidder and the county
printing given at regular rates" is a
question which, perhaps, the members
of the Board of Supervisors who re-
fused to act upon the resolution refer
red to can answer.
When this matter was brought
before the Board the DEMOCRAT was
silent in regard to it, for the reason
that the majority Of the officers
who then furnished the printing pat
ronage we're Republicans, and gave
their work to the two Republican
newspapers Of the county. But all
the printing at the disposal of these
officers has been done, and the new
officers are as likely to be Democrats
xs Greenbackers or Republicans. And
we will not, therefore, be accused Of
self-mterest in the matter when we
demand that the county printing, at
ter January 1st 1870, shall be let to the
lowest bidder. The DEMOCRAT will
insist upon this being done, wheth-
er majority Of the county officers
are Democrats. Greenbackers, or
Republicans. AT the annual meeting
of the Board, In November next, will
be the proper time to consider the
subject. 1t is Of more Importance to
the tax payers OF Iowa county that
the county printing be obtained at the
lowest figures possible, than that it be
given to this or that political news
paper.

Total abstinence is a theme which
has charm for thousands OF fami-
lies. Millions / might say, OF our fell
low-creatures owe their sll, temporal
and eternal, to this simple act-total
abstinence. Fathers have been res
cued from the frightful malstrom Of
drink which would inevitably hays
carried them down its whirling vor.
tex into eternity, there to meet an
outraged God and thu drunkards
just retrioution which every man,
woman aad child in the land knows
is the tortures Of the Damned, for
the Bible unequiyocably announces
that mo G:unkard shall enter the
kingdom of heaven" Mothers, whose
wan and haggard features betoken
untold hardships and indescribabls
misery mothers, whose palpitating
hearts and frequent signs, sunkeR
cheeks and fearful eyes unfold a tale
OF experience equalled only by the
loot have been restored to blissful
peace and nndisturbed felicity
through the benign Influence Of totst
abstinence. Children, whose fire.

had caused them to tremble and
weep at the approach Of their
infuristed and drunken parents

wretches are lifted from the "gutter"

undergoing change for the bettss

These are not exaeerations. but
truths which can be verified by the
experience Of all intelligent, observ-
ant creatures. But, owing to the
deadly influence OF the demon alco4
hol upon its victims, especially its
inherent tendency to cause its slaves
to return to their tyranical master,
the shield of total abstinence has
been in many instances, thought
incommeIsurate to repel the allur-
ing darts Of the enemy without some
sustaining, counteractipg influences
such as are recognized in our obi
gatory total abstinence organizations,
