Politics in Florida.

THE SENTIMENT IN THE STATE SAID
TO BE LARGELY REPUBLICAN,.
A letter from St. Augustine, Fla, con-
tains the following -
In the various calculations of news
papers and politicians in the North, it is
generally conceded that, in the next
Presidential election, the solid Electoral
vote of the South will be cast for the
Democratic nominee. The Electoral
vote of New York is expected to deter
mine the result for or against the Repub-
lican nominee, provided Indiana goes
Democratic. With the solid South, New
York, and Indiana, the Democrats would
have majority of seven in the Elector-
al College. But Florida has four Elec-
toral votes, and were they cast for the
Republican nominee he would be elected
by majority OF one. Now, every rea-
sonable man in this State IS aware that
such result is tolerably certain, provid-
ed we have fair election. There are
several causes which combine to make
this result certain. The principal rea-
sons are dissatisfaction with the present
Government of the State, and the fraud
and rascality perpetrated in Brevard and
other counties last year.
During Governor Stearne's admins
tration the Democratic newspapers and
orators throughout the State were con-
tinually denouncing the State officers as
unprincipled carpet-baggers and swim
dlers, who were running tie State hope
lessly into debt and Systematically rob-
bing the Treasury. Many Northern set
tiers were led to believe these statements
so persistently dinned into their ears, land
to remedy the suppo, ed evils of carpet
bag rule they cast their votes with the
Democrats.

Riggln, of Somerset county, Md, gave
his pen of fattening hogs lot of ashes
and charcoal, among which there hap
pened to be a live coal. This live coal
set fire to the pen and burned up all lis

to state how many hogs the pen contain
