WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Republicans here have
Just received information of what may be called
" the Florida PLAN" Everything has been cOmpar-
atively quiet in that State as to create belief
among the Republicans that there would be fair
election, i'll which case the Republicans would be
certain TO carry both Congressional districts. The
South Carolina plan has become bold, and is being
openly carried out, that by contrast it seemed as
If the Florida Democrats had decided to risk far
election.
The real reason for this apparently peaceful atti-
tude is now discovered. There is plan for purging
The registration lists OF enough Republicans to give
the Democrats both districts. This work is now
being carried ont in the strong Republic
ean counties by local boards of commits
sinners, who claim to have arbitrary powers
from the Legislature 10 examine and purge
the registration lists of ill names which they find
ought not TO be there. The law is one passed last
Winter, and it is now believed that it was passed
with the purpose in view for which it is now used.
II simply provides that the County Commissioners
may strike Ot from the voting lists names OF such
y. rsous ~ bayc died moved out of the county.
These DcmO cratic boards now claim that by this
action tho Legislature intended to give them

striking off the names of legitimate Republican
voters i'm number of counties. In the County of

We acknowledge the honor of
call yesterday from Col. George Fl.
Smith on his return from the late
session of the Legislature. He APP
pears to be in capital health. Col.
Smith has proved himself to be an
able and indefatigable representa-
tive Of the interests of this county
thus far in his career as our Sena-
tor. Every pledge made by him
has been redeemed with a conspic-
uous fidelity, and he has earned
the reputation, in legislative cir
Giles, of being notably able and
honest man. If there was one
man in the late Legislature who, in
the interest of the people, trench
antly antagonlzed corporations,
railway and other, it was Col.
George III. Smith. He resolutely
threw every consideration Of eXpe-
diency to one side to come down to
the water line of fidelity to the
wishes of his constituents.
We enjoyed the pleasure yester-
day Of meeting Col. Peter Donahue,
the Chairman OF the Democratic
State Central Committee. Col.
Donahue is one OF the representa-
tive self-mado men of the United
States, and is fine specimen of
physical vigor and energy. AS an
enterprising citizen, railway
builder, a millionaire and a Demo-
cratic war-borse, Col. Donahue has
left his imprint on the times and
he bids fair to deepen it during the
next quarter of century or so.
We trust his Los Angeles expert
ences may be agreeable. Col.
Donahue is the guest of his brother
in-law, Governor Downey.

Florida, we believe, and came to

suffering from a pulmonary dis.

rary attachments and Il lawyer by
profession, but for some time past,
owing to physical disability, had
not practiced. The Major was of a
genial and kindly disposition and
had he taken proper care of himslf
would have filled n prominent
place in society. Peace TO his
ashes.

THE PASSOVER.
The Ancient Feast with its Unique 0bssrv
ances by the Hebrews.

At six o'clock tomorrow evening
the fourteenth day of the Jewish
month of Neson, commences the
Feast of Passover, also known as
the Feast of Unleavencd Cakes,
held in commemoration of the
providential escape of the Hebrews
in Egypt, when God, shifting the
first-born of the Egyptians, passed
orer the houses of the Israelites,
which were marked with the blood
of the paschal lamb. Tomorrow
and Thursday evenings are denom-
mated "Saeder nights" The first
formal services of the Feast will be
held at the Synagogue after sum
down to- morrow evening, presided
over by Rabbi A. w. Edelman.
The festival continues for eight
days, preparatory to the observa-
ton of which all bread, beer, or
any other liquors made of grain,
must be removed from the house,
as, also, all vessels which may have
been used for these things; and
during the continuance of the feast
no leaven of any kind is allowed to
be eaten or used for any purpose.
The first two and last two of these
eight days must be kept as holy as
the Sabbath, but during the four
intermediate days such affairs and
occupations may be attended TO and
followed as are absolutely requisite.
The ceremony eff the first two
nights is as follows: The table be.
ing prepared as is usual on the Sab
bath, and during festivals, three
plates are placed thereon; on one
are placed three Passover cakes; in
another, the shank bone of the
shoulder of a lamb and an egg roast
ed; and in the third, some chervil
or parsley, and horse-radish
as also u cup of vine
gar or salt water, and mix.
ture of apples, almonds and CHINA
mon. During these two nights, all
Hebrew servants are allo wed to sit
at table, thus concentrating the
time when all were equal in bond
age. Each one has a glass of wine
before him or her, and during the
evening every one at table drinks
four glasses or cups of wine. The
master of the house then relates
the redemption of the forefathers
from Egypt, and returns praises
and thanksgiving to God for his
kindness and mercy. Commence
ing with the second night of the
Passover, services are held ia the
synagogue every evening, for fifty
days; at the expiration of which
time, the Feast of Pentecost, or
Feast of Weeks, commences. Many
other interesting ceremonies, of
detailed nature are performed DUR
ing this feast, the observation of
which is strict and universal.

WASHINGTON, April Elm the
matter of the application of LARGE
q johnson, attorneys for the heirs
of David Foster, for modification
of the Secretary's decision of All
gust Z, 1877, relative to lands near
Los Angeles, upon the ground that
the selection of State lands was not
carried out in accordance with the
provisions of the State law, and
that the application of the State
purchaser was informal, the Secre-
tary rules that the Government
can take no cognizance of the
transactions of the State with a
purchaser. The Government can
only concern itself with the answer
to these questions: First-The
right of the State to claim the land.
Second-Was the land open to Sc
lection?
The Secretary, on appeal, has af-
firmed the decision of the Commits
sioner in the case of Ethan Allen
and j. l.. Plummer vs. the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company, reject
ing the claims of Allen e. Co., and
recognizing Plummer's application
to file a declaratory statement for
the lands in question near Los An

The Secretary, on appeal, has af-
firmed the decision of the Commits
sioner in the case of H. A. Bowrie
VS.. the heirs of Simon d. Webb,
refusing to cancel Webb's home
stead entry on certain lands near
Marysvile. This decision is based
the fact that at the time of the
original hearing the Department
did not require residence by the
heirs as well as cultivation.
