mud circumstances attending the departure
lately from Galway, Ireland, Of some forty poor
families, numbering upwards OF 800 SOULS who
sailed in tho steamer Austrian for Boston the

The story Of their dtstresafu and wrctohed
condition In their miserable homes in Come

seasons they were in d chronic state Of misery,
and scarcely ever knew what it WIS to hnve
plenty to eat The SOIL from which they strug-
gled to reciain scanty subsistence. was poor.
and, even il they had no rent to pny, would
scarcely afford them livelihood even under the
most favoring circumstances.
For these people there was no alternative save
il omisration. The operations of leagues and
the prospect Of reform in the Land laws could
afford them little hope Of bettA.ng their condi-

Monticello Constitution, November III
Tissue Ballots.

We have been advised that a few It's
sue ballots" were found in two or three
ballot-boxes in this county when the in
spectors were counting the votes on Tues
day night. HosO they were placed in the
boxes is mystery, for the greatest pre-
cautions had been provided to prevent
fraud. and diligent ip1ni-y nstis W -.-~.--.r
II - --....s VINO had seen a tissue bal
lot previous to or doing the election. The
superstition is that they were enclosed in
large Republican tickets and escaped the
scrutiny of the inspectors, and were en-
ployed for the purpose of making q
plausible excuse of fraud against the
Democrats. 1t is the only solution of the
matter that we can arrive at. The Demo
Gratis are opposed to fraud of any charac-
ter, aud do not hesitate to denounce any
and every person who would attempt to
sully the purity of popular franchise.
The tissue ballots referred to, how
ever, had no effect whatever upon the re-
suit of the election. In fact, the Demo
cratic vote in this county was several
hundred less than we had good reason to
believe would be polled. The negroes had
been terrorized by Radical leaders and
made to believe that they would be NAL
treated and ostracised ii they voted the
Democratic ticket, and consequently hun
dreds, it was understood, would pretend
to he true to the Republican party and
slyly vote the Democratic ticket. One or
two hundred did carry out said line of
policy, but others weakened at the eleventh
hour, under the threats of female bull
dozers, and voted the full Republican
ticket. The fact is, if the colored voters
had not been bulldozed by negro women,
the Democrats would have carried Jeffer-
son county by respectable majority. AS
it is we have slight reasons for congratu-
latiOn

I The election has demonstrated that the largest
single interest in the country-the agriculturai-
is firmly enlisted on the side Of protection. The
farmers needed no argument to convince them
of the wisdom OF The policy which the Hepu0li-
can party has pursued for twenty years, and
which the Democrats propose to break down.
The value of the home market which dlversl-
fed industry insured them was too patent to be
disputed. Democratic eloquence and Golden
Club pamphlets were alike unavailing. Their
own observations told them different story, and
in the face of such evidence free trade theories
found no acceptance.-Ph Philadelphia Press
Do not delude yourself with any such
erroneous notions, says the COurier-.Jo,ar-
nal. The farmers are not in love with the
hand which robs them. They will be the
leading factors in killing high tariff in
the near future. What would the farm
ers do with 800, OOO, 900 surplus bushels
y. s.~..., ..oy uepenue'- 1880
market ?" The price of the farmers grain
is regulated at London and not by pro-
tected American manufacturers. If the
farmer did not have large foreign mar
ket he would starve at the prices he
would get in this country, or else he
would have to abandon farming. The
American farmers were swindled when
they allowed the manufacturers to make
them pay enormous taxes to them mot
the government The farmers were told
by the spectators that protection would
give them q big market at home for all
the agricultural products they would
raise The magnitude of this falsehood
is perfectly apparent. Nine-tenths of our
exports are agricultural products and go
to Great Britain. A little one-tenth is
composed of manufactured products, and
the farmers are taxed from forty to one
hundred and forty per cent. to bolster up
self-confessed cripples and enable them to
get rich. The protected classes are, in
fact, enriched by raiding on the products
and property of other classes. They thrive
through systematic and legalized robbery,
and the farmer is among the most griev-
ously swindled and plundered Of all the
victims The farmer will inevitablely
play prominent part in the overthrow
of tariff spolation.

We print an interesting letter from
Senator Call on the first page Of the
FLoRrDrAN, giving an account Of the bat
tie Of Olustee, which agrees in the nain
with our own recollection. We only no
tice the letter to call attention to the ex-
traordinary omission Of the writer of
any mention Of the Florida Light Artil-
lery, Captain Gamble. He speaks of the
Chatham Artillery aud Guerard's Battery,
but is silent as to CANDLES Artillery
This, of course, was an oversight. The
Florida Light Artillery was the first bat
terry in the field; it fired the first gun !;
was in the thickest of the early part of
the fight, and was the only battery on the
field which had men killed at their guns
or which suffered in horses or had guns
disabled. After the fight was over
it was complimented by being presented
with three out of the five guns captured
from the enemy. No doubt Senator Calls
omission to mention this company was
accidental.

Pursuant 70 adjournment the club was called

Of the club since the Presidential and Guberna-
torial elections Of $780, the political outlook Of
the country generally wa freely and intelligently
discussed. The President being called upon to
address the club said:
While we deeply regret the loss of the cleo
ton Of General Winfield Scott Hancock for
President Of the United States, we, ct the same
time, have great reason TO rejoice In the election
of Hon. VIM. D. Bloxham for Governor OF the
State OF Florida for the ensuing four years. To
be brief. and In conclusion, would suggest, let
us be ever mindful to observe strictly the laws
of our country, at the same time .reserving our
Democratic patriotism In full for another and
more brilliant dash upon our political enemies
in 1884; and while you have my best wishes for
the future, am now willing to adjourn this
club, feeling that we all have tried to do our full
duty in the campaign now past"
The President then distributed some very in
teresting papers among the members Of the club,
and on motion OF Mr.. A. h. Crowder to adjourn
sine dc, which motion being put by the President
was unanimously carried. aud Immediately fol-
lowed by three rousing cheers for Governor VIM.

WASHINGTON, November 16. 1880.
give below what neigbbor of General Gar
field believes of him. First stating the obliga-
tons the General feels himself under to Grant,
Conkling. Cameron, ETC., this neighbor says:
Garfield desires to do right, but there is q
vein of moral cowardice in his composition that
is the weakness of his nature'
AS this man states the case, the inference is
readily drawn that Garfield will carry out his
"desires to do right" and give US a really patri-
oiic administration, as it is that he will do the
bidding of those 10 whom he feels his indebted
ness. This particular nelghbor, indeed, proph-
estes IN administration to be controlled by the
Grant men, but his reasoning is not conclusive
l have mentioned tins matter at SO much
length only as an introduction to u statement of
what find to be current opinion among all ex-
cept Radical Republicans In this city. Except
among them, there is almost unanimous express
sion Of belief that the next administration will
begin its four years with better Cabinet and
clearer and more definite statement of principles
than the present one: that absolute non-inter-
ence by the military with Southern affairs, ex-
cept when such interference 10 asked for in the
CONSTITUTIONAL manner rs II might DC III the

will he given of executive wish that local elec-
tions should be free from Federal interference,
civil or military that such recognition of the
state OF peace we now enjoy Will be announced
as has not formed part of any inaugural for
more than twenty years, and that abundant sub
jecis for necessary legislation will be suggested
to Congress outside of the sectional ones which
have absorbed attention so long.
We will look now which of the two estimates
of General Garfeld's probable course is the cor
rect one-that of his Ohio neighbor or that of
his many Washington friends. Always hoping
for the best, and personally knowing much of
the man myself, l join the other Washingtonians
in belief that we shall have a satisfactory ad-
ninistration. A curious fact that may be taken
as confrmatOry of the position above taken, Is
that the extreme Radicals Of the city have at.
tempted to rupture the management of the
Inauguration ceremonies. Mr.. Clapp, of the
Republican,, Mr.. Anger, city postmaster. and
Others of the extremists, organized privately for
the purpose ten days ago. Last night nearly
every Republican organization In the city, In
Guiding that from Ohio. repudated this effort to
capture the occasion, and voted to sustain a nom
