A Cincinnati dispatch says: Political
excitement has become intense in Indiana,
and eliminated on Saturday last in two
serious ARRAYS at Shelbyville and one at
Evansville. 1t is difficult to get the real
facts, as so much political bias exists that
the stories of the occurrences differ widely.
At Shelbyville the Republicans and Green
hackers were both holding meetings. The
former was addressed by Gen. Ben Har-
rison and the latter by Dr. De LaMatyr.
In the afternoon number of fights took
place in saloons between Republicans and
Democrats At one of them Sheriff Nc
Cookie interfered, and was leading away
Ed. Kennedy, young man who was
principal in one of the fights, when Sec
ond disturbance arose, in which several
shots were fired, one of which struck
Sheriff McCockle in the breast, from
which wound he died. Kennedy was ac-
cused of firing the fatal shot McCockle
being Democrat and Kennedy Repub-
lican the most bitter feeling is aroused
and parties are seeking Kennedy, who
doubtless will be lynched if found. Deputy
Sheriff Anderson Lee was badly bruised
in the course Of the affray.

What is this Republican party which
talks so loudly about preserving the
national faith ?" asks the Washington
Post.
1t is the same party which, in 1863, de-
liberately repudiated the contract with
holders of legal-tenders, which provided
that they should receive, at any time,
either bonds or gold for their notes, no
limitation az to time being made in the
contract.
1t is the same party which repudiated
the contract to pay gold on the first issue
of $40 per cent. notes and forced their
holders to take in payment deprecated
currency or bonds not worth forty cents
on the dollar in gold at that time.
1t is the same party which repudiated
the five-twenty- bond contract, and by the
act Of March, 1869, declared that the
bonds should be paid in coin.
1t is the party which looks with COM
placency upon the blacklist acts Of repu-
diation by Republican States while filling
the air with tremendous bowls and predic-
tions of "Southern repudiatien."
It is the party which, at this moment,
is doing its best TO injure the business in,
terests of the country and to depreciate
Government securities.

The overwhelming defeat of the
Norwood ring in Georgia leads the Ma
con Telegraph to say: we have no dis
position whatever TO triumph over our
defeated Norwood friends. Indeed, the
whole canvass was humlliating TO every
true Democrat, and We trust It's like may
never be witnessed again in Georgia.
The very smallness Of the vote, after the
frantic efforts Of 90 many speakers on
both sides, Is whitening rebuke from
the conservative element Of the State.

The Starke Telegraph Of the 10th
inst, speaking Of Col. Bisbee's address at
that place on the 9Th, and his utter ami
hilation and discontinue by local orator,
Mr.. Joseph l.. Hill, says: ''Uol. Bisbee
is an extremely selfish man, and evidently
thinks that he is the only man on the
ticket who has the slightest show. During
his long speech not the slightest reference
was made TO the many virtues Of the Re-
publican candidate for Governor, s. b.
Conover. We venture to say that Col. B.
left Starke wiser il not better man,
with his mind fully made up never to in
vite another Democratic cracker on the
stand with him."
This feeling Of selfconfidence and self
security seems to be enjoyed with equal
force by Bisbee, Conover and Ldwith.
Each asserts to friend and foe alike his
positive conviction that he, himself, is
"the only man on the ticket who stands
any chance of election and each care
fully refrains from any word or act which
would, in the smallest degree, aid or en-
courage the other. This peculiar condi-
ton Of sentiment on the part Of the
delectable trio of Kilkenny Cats" as
our Jacksonville correspondent calls them,
is aptly illustrated by the following spicy
interview with Conover, reported by
"Twice Week " in his letter in another
column. We have reason to believe that
the interview or conversation occurred in
Tallahassee, and that its genuiueness. as
reported by our correspondent, can land
will il necessarily be fully authenticated
by number of gentlemen who were
present and heard the whole Of it:

Suppose, says the New York World, a
pictorial journal published in Savannah
should every week contain caricature Of
the traditional Yankee in some offensive
aspect or positionf Would not general
outcry be raised against the persistent
hate of the South from the bailiwick of
William Henry Smith even unto the
hannts of Hannibal Hamlin Pictures APP
peal to the passions, not to the intellect.
to children aud uneducated persons. Car
features of Napoleon and the French as
Thackeray testifies fed the blind, unrea-
soning hostility of England TO France
and made the English masses the easy
tools Of the landed aristocracy which fat
tened upon war prices and restrictive leg
islation. When a Northern pictorial pa
per therefore persistently for week after
week depicts the American of the South
as gaunt, hungry, murderous rufian,
pistol in belt and knife in hand, bent on
bloodshed and brutality, is it not plain
that such publication is moral "weath-
er-breeder =" and social and political
enemy of the peace, concord and pros
perity of the Union?

MANArEE, FLA, October 9Th, 1880.
Editor Floridian Our little village has been
the scene of one of the largest most enthusiastic
and successful political demonstrations that has
ever been ass mbed in this county, grand
ovation in honor of one of whom every portion
of our State feels proud-Hon. w. D. Bloxham,
the Democratic nominee for Governor of FLORIDA
According 10 published announcement, the dis
iinguished gentleman named, accompanied by
Generals Loring and Perry, and Rev. McKendree
McCoOk, editor of the Gainesville Sun arrived
at Manatee Sunday afternoon. and yesterday de-
livered addresses on the political issues between
the two great parties. They were the guests of
the Bloxham and Hancock club of this place
and were quartered at the Gates House where
the best arrangements had been made for their
entertainment. Our people wed with each other
in extending 10 these apostles of the Democracy
q hearty and generous welcome, and all were
anxious TO grasp the friendly hand of the next
Governor of Florida.
For several days busy preparations had been
going on, ON the part Of the members of the
committee on arrangements In putting in the
very best condition the grounds selected for the
speaking and picnic" under the oaks" and
the young ladies chosen for the purpose adorn-
ing aud identifying the grand stand anticipating
large gathering the seats from the academy and
Methodist Church had been contributed, and in
vitations TO become the guests Of the citizens Of
the village and suburbs had been sent 10 many
communities of the county
Early after breakfast the people began pouring
in from every direction, over land and by water,
and by eleven o'clock the shady grove, where
but few days before the eloquence of Call,
Davidson, Pasco and Wall had been heard In
patriotic uiterances, was packed and crowded
with an anxious, eager multitude until all avaia-
ble space was occupied by those standing and
sitting.
Governor Bl0xham was then introduced by
your correspondent and for an hour and Any Ave
minutes he held the large assemblage spellbound
and enchanted by mastery speech, possibly
one Of the finest efforts Of his life, certainly the
best speech ever heard him deliver, and il has
been my good fortune 10 hear him ON many
occasions Two of the gentlemen with him
stated that II was by fAr the hest speech they
had heard him make during the present canvass.
Governor Bloxhnm seemed to have received an
inspiration (posslbly from the very large number
of Manatees fair daughters presently and from
FIRST 10 last did the gifted orator pour out an ire
sslibie and overwhelming 6ood Of eloquent
utteaDces and staiesmAnlike ylews ON the great
political battle Of 1880. When the eminent
Democratic leader bowed bis Close, one long,
earnest, spontaneous applause rent the arr which

A New Industry.

We have been lately reading an
account from one of our exchanges Of
the number of Christmas trees used
in New York, and the place from
which they were procured. Messrs.
Taylor & Lane, OF New York, do a
large business in furnishing them and
we find that many trees were taken
from the Carolinas, and even from
the Bermudas. This set us thinking
what a glorious trade might beopened
for Florida in that line. New York
City alone uses over 225,OOO, and
Philadelphia about $4,000 over SO0,-
900 in those two cities, to say MOTH
ing of Baltimore, Washington, and
other large places, we can safely put
it down at 100000. Now, we have
here any quantity OF holly which
grows in the low and high hammocks,
cypress, cedar, and palmetto, all
which might be conyertedi into money
