Florida Negroes Being Sold fnio
slavery.

WASHINGTON, February 2S.-1Several
weeks ago the President receiver letter
from a reliable source stating that the
writer was IN possession OF facts capable
of direct proof, to the effect that coiored
men, citizens of Florida, had been Kid
named and transported across the Gulf
Of Mexico TO Cuba, and there sold into
slavery, The writer says the members OF
families of some enslsved citizens had re.
ceiyed intelligence from Cuba from their
relatives that they were held IN bond.
age there, and the matter was communi-
Gated TO the Chief Executive OF the
United States for such action as might
be- deemed best to vindicate American
dignity. in view of the proceedings
so grossly in violation Of the civilization
of the times, The contents OF the letter
occasioned surprise to the President ana
with a view OF ascertain ing the truth
of the story he concluded TO dispatch u
confidential agent TO Cuba for that pur-
pose. Such an agent was found IN
Judge Leonard, Republican member IN
the House OF Representatives from
Louisiana, gentleman who is Discreet,
courteous and familiar with the Spanish
language. 1t was thought advisable to
pursue this direct course instead OF
making the subject basis of diplomatic
CORRESPONDENCE. Judge Leonard few
DAYS ago obtained indefinite leave OF
absence from the House and lett New
York for Havana on the steamer Column
bus on Wednesday, carrying with him
letter from the President to
the Captain. General, and also one from
Senior Mancilla, the Spanish Minister,
addressed to the same officer, to whom
JUDGE Leonard will make Known tho
objects of his mission. 1t is not doubted
tnat the Captsin-General will afford him
every facility for the Accomplishment ot
his mission, besides extending his own
Investigations in the same direction.
Another object of the mission is to as
certain the true condition OF the lnsur.
gents. the official accounts and those
from insurrectionary sources beng con-
Trajectory. While one side represents
the doctrine of insurrection the other as
serts the contrary, and agents have beer
here in behalf of the insurgents, with
a Wow TO a recognition of their inde.
pendence by the United States. The
C.ptsln. General will doubtless extend
to Judge Leonard the necessary facilities
for visiting the insurrectionsry district,
as Spain uniformly shows a disposition to
preserve and strengthen the friendly re,
is,ions between herself and the Unite d
States, which have never been more am
Icable than at present. Should 1t be
found true that negroes are kidnapped IN
Florida or sny other Southern States,
and conveyed to Cuba and sold into
slavery, immediate measures Will
be adopted to prevent all such
future outrsges on persons
and violations of international law. TIE
objects OF the mission are not publicly
known, care having been taken 10 con-
ceal them, but the above statement IL
confirmed in quarters when leave
no room for doubt.

CODiah County.

Everybody in Copiah county knows
w. w. Cook, the Sheriff, and everybody
calls him 'Uncle Billy" They call him
Uncle Billy" not because he is old
enough to be everybody's uncle, but be-
cause they love him and don't know any
better term of endearment, and they
would be miserable If they could not find
some appropriate escape valve for their
affection for him. When he is away
from home "Uncle Billy" is called Judge
Cook. In point of fact, however, he has
never been Il Judge. He simply looks
like Judge and talks like a Judge, and
most people naturally take him for a
Judge 1t is a tribute to his solidity of
judgment and the judicial air which he
sheds around himself Soon after judge
Calhoun's appointment to the Circuit
Judgeship of the district, he met Uncle
Billy in jackson and had a long and
agreeable talk with him. When Judge
c. went to Copiah to hold his first term
he was introduced to Uncle Billy as the
Sheriff of the county.
.'Why, that man amt the Sheriff Of
Copiah, is he?" asked the Judge after
Uncle Billy had walked off.

what the Situation Requires.

The intelligent Washington CORES
pondent Of the n. 0. Democrat gives the
following as the opinion of u. $. Senator
Eustis, of Louisiana, concerning the re-
quirements Of the situation in the light
of the astounding revelations from
Florida:
"In reply to my question whether In his
Judgment the Florida confessions created
any necessity for investigation which did
not exist before. Senator Eustis said it was
generally known in Louisiana, both through
his action when in the Legislature, and by
his attitude since in the Senate, that he had
never agreed with the ideas which led to
the formation az the Electoral Commission.
He was. therefore, free from enlargement,
political or personal, in any Of the conpli-
cations that had arisen out of the counting
in of Hayes. He had always regarded
HAYES title with contempt, and In his sena-
torial capscity had kept entirely aloof from
the White House, in the matter of soliciting
appointments and all other relations. He
had always believed it due to the American
people that all the facts connected with the
fraudulent seating of a defeated President
should be ascertained by competent author
ity and officially reported "a d part of the
civil history Of the country, 1t was impos-
sible that so great an outrage as the THEFT
of The electoral votes OF several States should
be pass.,d over in silence, and bequeathed as
an unsoIve,l mystery to future generations
That sort Of thing was not in accordance
with the shirt of Our institutions, but be-
lonoad to methods OF t1espotism. He had,
therefore, been in favor Of Investigation all
the time. The Florida confessions simply
made imperative necessity which haA eS-
listed all the time"

greatest enthusiasm" Temperance
speeches were made by the blazing
spirits, and more people signed the

The County of Adams.

Mr.. Robert H. Wood, Sheriff and Tax
Collector of Adams county, made his
annual pilgrimage to jackson last week
for the purpose Of making his final set
Element with the State for the taxes of
1877, which he did to the entire satisfsc-
ton of the officials. He deposited to his
credit some So, 900 or SIS, 600 in the
Treasury, and made requisition upon
Auditor for $4,000 worth of privilege and
liquor licenses, the sheaviest order yet
made by any Sheriff; but he says he
expects to do good business in that line
this year.
Mr.. Wood is the only colofed Sheriff
in the State. He is better looking man
than Senator Bruce, and that is saving
good deal for him. As to his efficiency and
cleverness our information from the gen
tlemen in the Auditorial office is of the
most fattering character.

Col. S. B. Thomas, the excellent
Sheriff of this county, through his wide
awake adjutant general, Reel Kerr, de-
posted in the Treasury last week
s7,1S2.75. He is continually contribut-
ing to the support of the common schools
and the State government. 1t is hardly
worth while to say that his account with
the Auditor is always correct, for every
citizen of Kinds knows the man, and
such statement would be regarded as
altogether superfuous We can safely
underwrite for Col. Thomas that he is one
of the best officers and one of the best
men in the State.
