in money to the people of the
United States In the two
Houses Of representatives which
were Democratic throughout their
whole term and one Democratic
House which has held one session
AN extra one-is almost incalcu-
liable, for the reason that we have
to pass to the party credit not only
the sums actually saved but the
terrible other sums which wou d
h ave been squandered had the Re-
publican ascendancy continued. A
Republican Administration check
ell and supervised at every turn by
Democrats, is a very different
thing indeed from Republican ad-
ministration surrendered to its own
swee. will. Take the navy of the
United States as an exemplar.
Within ten years following the
war the sum of $3.50, 0OO,0 900 was
spent on this precious array of
hulks, yet the navy of the United
States is to day very much behind
that of Spain in efficiency. 1t is
perhaps fortunate that we patiently
submitted to the VIrginius Insult
from Spain, because the probability
Is extreme, so greatly was that of
the United States overmatched by
the Spanish navy, that, at the out
set at least, we should have been
soundly threshed on the high seas.
Whether the American people
value retrenchment and reform in
administration is another matter,
which will be determined in very
little while by the result of the
October election in Ohio and the
September election in New York.

Florida Mosquitoes.
To the Editor Of the Nea0 Yorl

To the Editor Of the NeaO York
Sun:
SIR-It Is well known fact that
mosquitoes can and do put out fires
here; in fact, they are about the
only means of preventing a con-
fiagration that we haye here, any
where outside of the corporate linn
its. They are also great help In
the detection and arrest of incendia-
ries, who are obliged, after touch
ing off the fire, to stay aud brush
off the mosquitoes till the blaze
has gained sufficient Roadway to
take care of itself.
Instead of being q nuisance, they
are almost.an absolute necessity.
They are good fertilizer, and in a
State where land is naturally as
poor as here, with fish guano at
$35, it would be useless to try to
raise anything without them. A
man wishing to plant small gar
den can soon get enough with a
hand net to answer his purposes,
while with suitable machinery
he can furnish them to others in
bags and barrels at prices ruinous
to the sellers of Peruvian guano.
1t has long been the custom on
the east coast in preparing for corn
to attach piece of raw meat to
the plough beam in such manner
that it will drag in the furrow a
short distance behind the plough,
leaving a smell of blood. The mos
quitos are attracted by this, and
when the plough comes around
again it covers them up. But as
the land here cannot bear too much
manure, it does not answer to 60
too far, as they are apt to settle in
such quantities that the land burns
out and the crop Is lost. When you
happen to hit just right the crop
will be immense. / have known
land myself, where it was thor.
oughly prepared In this way and
proper attention given to 1t after
ward, to return from ten to twelve
bushels of shelled corn to the acre;
and am told by a man whose word
is considered good and whose SEN
timents on the subject of future
punishment are entirely at vari-
auCt Will tnoSt vi SOi. lJoO
soil, that he has gathered eighteen
bushels, and that it was not a very
large-sized acre either.
Persons who think of coming to
this country should remember that
the Florida mosquito never bites
twice in the same place. After he
has made the rounds you are for
ever exempt. I own they are hard
on some animals, but Florida hogs,
alligators, politicians, and all
other thick-skinned animals are
troubled very little, while fish of
all kinds are scarcely interfered
with, the mosquito not being good
swimmer. There are other insects
here. Why, 1 have known the
sand flies to be so thick that-well,
really, L am afraid to tell. 1t
might be thought too wonderful to
be true, and l am informed that
they hang people in new York for
equivocating.

NOTWITHSTANDING the quite
hilarious tone of the Republican
press of the country, founded upon
John Kelly's treacherons attempt
to sell out the Democratic party of
New York, the Indications are
very favorable for the reelection of
Luoius Robinson, the present hon.
orable and efficient Governor of
that State. Our Republican friends
have done a great deaf Of "whoop-
iug-up," founded upon very slender
premises. They failed to elect Re-
publican Governor of Maine, which
State as far back as 1856, was car
ried for their party by 10000 ma
jority. There is nothing exhilarat-
ing about a fact like this. 1t is
true that a Republican Governor
has been elected in California, but
this, and the accident of a Republic
can Legislature of this State. are
both due to the division of the OPP
ponents of Republican ascendancy
here. When the votes opposed to
the election of Perkins are counted
up judicious Republican feels lit
tie disposition to be unduly boast
full. The Republican press is as
suming, in advance, that Foster
and Hickenlooper will carry Ohio.
These worthy pundits may be reck-
ouing altogether without their
host, although we feel inclined to
concede the fact that Ohio is Re-
publican State, or has been so I'M
til very lately. The political situ-
alton, while for the moment cloud
ed for the Democratic party, has in
1t many elements calculated to in
spire hope. 1t is conceded that but
for Kelly's bolt, New York would
be sure for us; and, should Kelly
succeed in defeating the party this
year, he and his Tammany Hall
will be torn up by the roots long be-
fore the Presidential election of
next year. Should the Democracy
triumph in spite Of Kelly, however,
the situation would stand: Elector-
al votes necessary to a choice OF
President, 1856; votes certain for
the Democratic candidate, the 1877
votes of the Solid South and the So
votes of New York; deficiency, Is.
To obtain these thirteen votes we
have Indiana, almost certainly
Democratic, New Jersey, which al
ways votes for the Democratic
Presidential candidate, Connect
cut, which is now almost as rela-
BILE In Presidential year. Nevada,
California and Oregon, which may
all be rated as doubtful States.
The vote Of Indiana alone would
insure the election of the Demo-
cratic candidate, with several votes
to spare. Under such circum-
stances, 1t is the height of audacity
for Republicans to plume them
selves too much on purely tenn
porary division amongst the DEM
ocrats, especially when It's remem.
bered that the party never fights so
hard as after a disastrous defeat.
Should 1t, however, prove to be the
good fortune of the Democratic
party to carry Ohio, the Republi-
can party need hardly go to the
trouble of putting its cohorts in
battle array. Defeat would be in
evitable.
