At request OF the President, Col.
Codrington, of the FLORIDA AGRI-

from a lengthy address, as he was
suffering from severe cold, made a
few pointed remarks on the impor

vantages of different localities to in.
duce the same. He closed his re-
marks by offering $40 as a premium
tor the best essay on Market Garden

October of the ensuing year.
Some samples of sorghum were
then brought forward for the exam

Ohio andIndiann.

The elections in Ohio aud Indiana
are reported thus far only in the
frsgmentary and unsatisfactory from
which the returns OF the October
States always assume on the first
day after the election. There seems
10 reason to doubt that the Repub-
licans have carried the Republican
State of Ohio, although upon the
candidate who heads the ticket the
Democrats have made very consid-
cradle gains upon the vote o: 1879.
Indiana, however, is doubtful State,
and the cont est there is always close,
The total vote this year, if we can
infer anything whatever from the
returns thus far received, has been
more than 100000, and it is not sur
prising that the Dispatches should
not enable us to arrive at even an
Approximate estimate Of the result
which will not apparently vary
much from that OF 1875. 1t lie true
The Republicans have used monty in
greater quantities and more unscru-
pulously than money has ever before
been used in a State election, and
have therefore been able TO show
some slight gains in the centres Of
population, from which alone We
have even the meagre returns thus
Tar received. 1t is TO be noted. how
ever that the "strahigt Democratic
counties Of the interior are still to
be heard from, and it is entirely

Re of Good Chcer

Even il it should prove that Ind
ana has gone Republican py a small
majority, there is 9TH n in the
situation to discourage Democrats.
1t has been conceded Ali along that
the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor was a weak nomination swhile
his opponent, Judge Porter, was
much the strong at that the Rapub-
hcdns could have made. There is
very little room for doubt, moreover.
that the party was weakened by in
ternal dssensions among he leaders,
and that, bad harmony prevailed.
the result would have been very
different, The obvious lesson from
the apparent result is that hard and
unremittiDg work will be require d
from now IN until the pole close on
November I'd to secure the election
Of Hancock and English by decisive
majority. That they can and will be
elected we have no more doubt now
than we had before the October
elections were held. Gen. Hancock
is at least FIVE thousand votes strong
or in Indiana than Mr.. Lsnders has
proved to be, and the "Hoosier
State may be set down ss safe for the
Democratic ticket.-Ec,

The democrats in Congress have a family
quarrel on hand. 1t seems that In the early
stages Of the Donnelly- Washburn contest Chair
man Springer, OF the House committee on cleo
tons, intimated that he would vote to seat the
contestant; that he changed his mind, and final
ly voted against Donnelly. Mr.. Manning, the
democratic member of the committee who pre-
pared the report in favor OF Donnelly, now
charges that Mr.. Springer was actuated by cor
rupt motives, and asks for an Investigation It
Is hardly probable, however that the House will
order an investigation. as nothing whatever Is
adduced to sustain the allegation against
Springer except an anonymous note. Even this
note Is not produced. but there is given what
pusports to have been its contents. ANONYMOUS
communications are not respected by anybody.
and this one Is TOO flimsy basis even for TEN.
pofary sensation. From an impartial and un-
biased standpoint, 1t Is very easy to understand
how3a member could have changed his mind
from q favorable to an unfavorable view OF the
Donnelly case. There are not few democratic
congressman who have condemned the proposi-
tiopith seat Donnelly from it's inception, and
ha0 the resolution in his favor been submitted
