The April returns in the Agricultural Depart

wheat Of IS per cent, and in the area sown in
rye a decline Of 8 per cent. The condition is SO
precisely the same as last April There was a
large increase in iall-sown wheat In those States
that heretofore have exclusively sown 10 the
spring; the experiment was unfortunate, and all
particularly Iowa and Nebraska, report great
disaster from the winter. On the whole, the
wheat crop thus far looks rs favorable as in the
spring of 1879. The condition Of live stock IL
very favorable, better than for several years. No

The jacksonville correspondent of the Sa-
vannah Meas says

The jacksonville correspondent of the Sa
vannah Ne'os says
While there is no doubt that General Ledwiih
is the choice of the bulk of the negro voters in
this county, it is equally certain that he is repug
nant 10 the white Republicans, especially 10 the
ex-offcials Of that party. This class is DOW at
work stirring up disaffection and organizing
force that will he brought TO bear against the
General wheE the State Convention assemblies.
In their eyes, il is an assumption on the part Of
Southern man, no matter how loyal may be his
record, 10 aspire to place and power. Such dogs
should not be allowed even the crumbs that fall
from their masters table. What Shall man
who fought under the rebel banner, even if he
has repenied of his treason in tears, sackc0th
and ashes, dare 10 reach out his polluted hands
to pluck from grasp the honors and prizes
which should he The rewards exclusively OF those
who planted The starry flag of freedom upon the
battlements of the Confederacyy Never! Never !"
Never!.!
And again:
General Ledwith is the only candidate for
Governor on the Republican ticket who has de-
veloped any strength and who can show lOrmi-
dable following Ex-senator COnoveF, who has
aspirations in the same direction, and who, II is
thought, groomed Ledwith, has. been dumb
founded by the running qualities, OF his colt,
whose speed and bottom have asiOnished the
knowing. Ledwith's enemies say that the battle
will be Joined at Gainesville, and 1t need not be
doubted that money, influence and promises of
patronage will be freely used TO defeat him.
The gauntlet las been thrown by Colonel Bisbee
and accepted by General Ledwih, and pitched
battle is expected between these gladiators.
While the correspondent of the Neaes may he
correct as to the preference of majority Of the
colored people of Duval. II may be stated as nm
indispuiable fact that outside Of that county
Ledwilh is not mono the choice Of that class Of
voters. Ii is true, few weeks ago he was as
sured of the 80 votes OF Leon and Jefferson. but
these have since been captured in the interest of
another, and II is now boosted thai Ledwiih is
rs dead as q door nail" II is said thai Wakulla
aud Gadsden have also been taken away from
him, while all west Of the Apalachicola, where
the General was led 10 believe that everything
was lovely, the MN and brother has been in
duced 10 drop him :" like hot potatoe." The
fact IL, the General drew on his bank little too
soon. He should have waited until the other
aspirants made play and then perhaps he would
have stood reasonable chance Of winning; but
now the game is decidedly against him, and he
might A. well give II mp There Is not white
Republican In all Middle Florida who fsyors his

The decision in the case of the w. N. c. r. r
Co against w. w. Rollins of which the head
note is given elsewhere, is very important one /;
and as soon 49, practicable we will publish the
opinion filed BY the Chief Justice in full The
effect OF The legislation now sustained by the
court is 10 dissolve The corporation heretofore
known as the Western Division of the w. N. c.
aud franchises in the w. N. c. r. II. CO., nclud-
ing some cash on hand and bonds in the possess
sion of W. w. Rollins but TO be held by The W.
N. &. r. r. Go. in trust of The payment oI the
debts of the Western Division, and then for the
benefit of the Stockholders of the Western Divis
ion. Included in the assets SO To lie admins
tered in trust is The sum of $25 900 received by
the W. n G. r. r. Co. from the Florida railroad
suits The justice al incndng this latter sum
in the assets of the Western Division is plain
and clear Indeed, We think that the files Of the
OJsercer will show that when il was received
last year, we stated that il appeared 10 US that
il would have 10 Ike held for the Western Divis
ion II MAS used, we believe, Ia pay for iron
which was placed on The W. N. G. r. r. This
we trust, ends the litigation on this subject, al
though perhaps neither party gets what he
hoped Tor.
The head note " Ia which the O5serrer refers
is as follows:

VS. w. w. Rollins, from Buncombe county.
The act Of March Is, 1879, is valid and con-
stiiuiiOnal. There is error in the ruling of the
court thai sections two and three Of the act are

OPINION OF JUDGE ELDREDGE.

To the Honorable the B0drd of lSupercis-
ors IF La Sale County: In reply to the m
uulrv as to whether the Board of Supervis.
ors may lawfully erect court house and jail
at place other than where now located, l
submit the following: 1t appears from in
formation, which is deemed entirely reliable,
that the canal commissioners subdlvided and
LAID out and plotted the town OF Ottawa IN
1890 some time prior to September of that
year: and from certified copy of what pur-
ports to be a record, is the original plot re-
corded in the Recorders office OF Tazewcll
county, which has been furnished Us tor In
spection. 1t appears that the original plat ct
the town of Ottawa, made by the canal com
missioners was filed tor record at Mackinay,
in TaZewell county, Chat county then en-
bracing within Its limits the territory com
prising the present county OF La Salle), on
the I'd of Sept. 1880. Upon tins plat which
Is the only one which we have been able TO
see which seems to be of an authentic char
acter, block eleven 01), IN the original town
of Ottawa, appears therein as subdivided in
to 8 lots, with an alley running through the
block from east to west. There is nothing
upon the face of this plat indicating block
eleven TO be public square," nor is there
anything upon the face of the plat indicating
any portion of the premises covered by 1t AS
public square" or as public grounds"
By Sec. II, of an act of the General As
sembly, approved Feb. Is, 1881, the canal
commissioners were authorized, when IN
their opinion it would increase he Calue q
lots in any town laid out by them on canal
lands that had or might become county
seats, to give To the county commissioners
quantity of lots in such town, not exceeding
ten acres, 10 aid in the erection OF public
buildings for which donation the Governor
should issue his patent "a in other cases. Tins
act placed the lots which should be thus grant
cd at the absolute disposal of the county COM
miss;oners, and imposed no obligation upon
the commissioners to locate county buildings
upon the lots thus granted. On the 2Sth OF
June, 1881, the canal commissioners, for the
purposes mentioned in section ~ OF the last
cited act. and by virtue of the authority
granted by that act, issued certificate to
the county commissioners Of La Sale county,
and thereby awarded or donated to the
county commissioners of La Sale county
divers lots in the original town OF Ottawa
including the whole of block eleven, ard Oh.
the 18th of July following, the governor, up
ON the presentation Of aduplicate thereof, Is
sued q patent IN pursuance OF the statute
| granting the county commissioner the lots
embraced in the certificate issued by TIC
canal commissioners IN pursuance oil whict
the county became absolutely vested WIZ
