WASHINGTON. November 25, 1873.
The Post of this city has Florida cor
respondent who says there was, under
white auspices, large amount Of bull
doing negroes by negroes in the late cleo
ton in one Florida congressional district
That is a kind of bulldozing that has been
known in every election since negroes first
voted. There were in every ncighborhood
in the south large number of negroes who
from principle, from interest, from personal
association, or from some other Of the
countless things which influence men every
where in voting, desired to vote with their
former master or members of their mas
tiers family. To the large number Of ne
groes who desired the radical party to sue
| coed, this was an objectionable offence, and
the negro church, secret societies, and col
ored society generally, entered upon
course Of "bulldozing' which has no
parallel in our history, That the Ell
tort to suppress independent voting among
tie negroes was for a time successful, was
not the worst result. An unnecessary an
tagonism between the races was created.
and scenes of disorder ensued. Then rose
TO prominence and power in the south, the
most hateful product of American civiIiz2-
ton, the carpet-bagger-the man who with
one hand provoked bloodshed and strife
and with the other summoned L. S. troops
to suppress them. When the intelligent
North understands fully the condition of
things in the south, subsequent to the war,
1t will cease to countenancc those who were
the real cause Of nearly all the trouble
there.
Tho nnnmittan On annru.riarisnG ,f thc
house, had an informal meeting yesterday,
but in the absence of the chairman, no bus
mess was transacted. The committee will
meet to-day. At the time when Republi-
cans conceded very large majority in the
house of the 46th Congress to the Demo-
Gratis Mr.. Hayes cabinet ministers agreed
upon largely reduced estimates for govern
mcnt expenses, when, just before, and at the
time of election, it seemed likely that that
majority would be small, it was understood
that the reductions would not be sweeping.
Now that it is settled that we have about
seventeen or eighteen majority--a safe one
i hope the committee will go on steadily
and firmly in making not only the reduc-
tions originally proposed, but other and
greater ones, 1t is generally believed that
the head of each department knows better
than congress does what is needed in his
department. This is not the fact once in a
dozen times. There are Democrats on the
the appropriation committee who know far
more than Evarts does, of the needs of the
state departments; than Key does of the
postofiice department, or than any other Of
the secretaries does Of the department over
which he presdes. Let such Democrats do
all they can to have their own convictions
made law. 1t is their duty. 1t will be to
their advantage.

than he among those who make laws for
the country, and none use it for better pur-
poses.
The ingenious man who came to this city
and attempted the other day to pcrsonate
one of the crew of the Huron, wrecked a
year ago has left us. He was a fraud. He
resembled the missing sailor in person and
had had himself marked in India ink in
imitation of him. He had also served in
some Of the same vessels. The secretary of

life in Central Africa. was the only party
really deceived by the impostor.
