LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
The Gem Puzzle.

The Examiners young man is not salts
fed with the INTELLIGENCER's solution OF
the 13, Is, IA position of the Gem puzzle.
He says it is an old solution and has been
rejected by the manufacturers " who &C
cept no solution except that which leaves
the blank in the lower right hand corner.
We have seen no such conditions exacted
by the manufacturers ~ or any one else ,
and if our solution is an old one we would
like the Examiner to inform us when and
where it was published before it appeared
in the INTELLIGENCER. That the Erami-
ner's young man is not posted in the Is
puzzle is evident from the fact that he
rehashes as local a long article from a
Washington paper, in which the writer
proposes to solve not only the 13, Is, IA po-
sition, but also the IA, 13, Is position by
arranging the blocks perpendicularly in
stead of horizontally, and commencing the
count in the upper right hand corner.
This is an old arrangement of the pieces
that was illustrated by diagram in the New
York Herald and other papers several
weeks ago! In conclusion, we will wager
a big red apple that there is no other
solution of the 13, Is, IA position, count
ing horizontally from right to left, and
leaving no blank between the blocks, ex-
cept that given in the INTELLIaENcER,
and if it was ever announced before it ap-
peared in the INTELLIGENCER, we are not
aware of it.

Runaway Horses and Males.


Yesterday afternoon about half-past
o'clock two horses attached to Zellers &
Herchelroth's market wagon, took fright
while standing in Centre square and ran
furiously down South Queen street to
Church, and up Church to Duke street,
where they were stopped and captured.
The affair created quite an excitement,
but very little harm was done to either
horses or wagon and fortunately the runa-
ways did not come in collision with any
other teams.
Seven mules, belonging to Mr.. John
Good, of Marticvllle, and attached to a
heavy country wagon used for hauling
coal, became fractions on South Queen
street, near Vine, this morning, and at
tempted to run off. The driver clung to
the reins with a stout grasp and succeeded
in checking the animals, but the leader
broke the chain holding him to the pole
and galloped away down the street at a
lively gait. After running several squares
the animal was caught by oolored man
and brought back, uniujured, to Hess's
tavern.

The tubes are for the purpose of mount

means of a micrometer screw. This latter
is needed only for the higher powers.
The stage is the platform for holding the

forbear. We have reverence for George

with the hatchet, and we dare not put
alongside him any face that would dis
turb our gaze upon his truthful counte-

And so when Senator Mcdonald and
Garland say that Kerns came to see them
personally while the nomination
was in their hands and discussed the
subject with them, and scattered the
objections Of Wallace and Randall, along
with their own, to the four winds and
then in the next sentence declare that
Senator Wallace never interfered with
their decision except {" i'll the letters
attached hereto" because, it is
not the practice of that COM
mittee to hear persons before it orally,
but alrays in writing," we conceive
a suspicion that there is lie out some
where, and we are restive under it. We
should like to love Senators Mcdonald
and Garland, and we should like to be-
lieve all they say to us about the surpass-
ing effect Of Kerns' eloquence upon
them, standing as it did single and
alone: but is it not aslfing a good deal
of us?

On the evening of September 2sth,
while the Jacksonville colored Hancock
and Bloxham Club was in session at jam
ison's Hall, with an attendance of some
twenty-five or thirty members, and while
the club was being addressed by one of
the speakers present, the proceedings were
interrupted by q shower of bricks or
stones thrown against the door. Several
members Immediately went out to search
for the parties who made the assault. but
the darkness prevented their capture, and
no one was found subject to suspicion
except negro woman who kept disor-
derby place next door, from which direc-
ton it was plain the missiles came. The
woman was very violent, and resisted ar
rest, threatening the democratic mig
gers" and even assaulting one of the
members of the club with a bludgeon,
producing a severe wound on the head
In the darkness and confusion the woman
and her cowardly male confederates, who
had fed upon the first alarm, escaped, but
the woman was arrested next day by a
constable with posse and convicted, and
sentenced to pay fine of $50, and under
go imprisonment for 80 days in the coun-
ty Jail. An appeal was taken by the wo-
mans attorney, A. A. knight.

WASHINGTON, Sept. rs, 1880.
Chairman Barnum, of the National Demo-
cratic Committee, was In town yesterday He
has the utmost confidence in the success of the
party in Indiana on the 18th of October, and be-
that victory In either State in October makes
inevitable an overwhelming victory for Hancock
in November. He is particularly pleased with
the gallant conservative fight in Maine, and says
its influence in Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania
is very great
There are in this city Greenbackers who are In
constant communication with General Weaver,
and other Greenbackers who now refuse to have
anything to do with him. l do not mean to say
q word against the General, whom l was in
clined to believe thoroughly honest until he un-
necessarily and unfairly attempted TO break
down the only hope of beating the Republicans
in Maine, but am compelled to say that al this
time the more substantial and reliable Green
hackers of Washington look with dsfavor upon
him, and that those who applauded him are
chiefly such as have not been held to be above
those considerations of a mercenary nature
which the Radicals know how to offer and have
euC uieonS ~ grant. III suOEt inc idtteI CLASS Vi
Greenbackers here, with rare exceptions, distrust
their Presidential candidate.
From Virginia come very encouraging reports
am inclined to the belief that the plain peo-
pie" of that State are beginning now to under
stand their own worth in the State, and that
whether they belong to one or the other of the
conservative factions they intend TO insist on
recognition before November 3D. AS is usual
when contest occurs over a matter of no i'm
portance land certainly the Fundcr and Read
juster quarrel in the State is of no consequence
in connection with the Presidential election), the
leaders are extremely bitter But the leaders
will moi, am confident, have control in Virginia
after the elections in Ohio and Indiana, on Oc-
tober 18th are held. Then the irresistible i'm
pulse Of the people to vote for Hancock in a way
to aid his election will assert ITSELF
An official publication Just made here shows
that Augusta, Me-, during the year ending JAN
uary 10, 1880, contributed more to the revenues
Of the post-office department than San Francisco
or Louisville, or Baltimore in fact more than
any two of those cities-more than half as much
as Boston, and not greatly less than Philadelphia,
st. Louis or Cincinnati Senator Conkling would
argue from this, I suppose, that the business OF
Augusta exceeded that of San Francisco, ETC.
It .ppe.re, hs~ever, if the office records are TO
be relied on, that two or three enterprising men,
in a single branch of business, pay most of the
Augusta postage. Baltimore. whose postage pay
menis are only one-fourth OF Augustus does
more general business in a day than Augusta in
ten years. HILTON

On Saturday last . Democratic mseting
was held ct Sunny Hill, or " Browns
Store, = in the Norshern part Of the conn
ty, 1t which several speakers from Talla-
hassee were present. The meeting was
conducted with good order, and num-
Der of excellent speeches were made. A
considerable number of negroes were
present, who conducted themselves well
enough while the meeting lasted, but af-
ter it was over, two of them named
Alfred Ross, who came from across
the Georgia line, and Alfred Hilton, .
Florida negro, who had been q fugitive
from justice across the line, made an as
sault upon q colored Democrat named
Butler Simmons, who had been express
ing his political convictions rather openly,
and were prevented from doing him an
injury only by the Intervention Of some
white citizens, who repealed the assault,
and, to protect Simmons from the violence
ofhis two assailants, who were being urged
on by other negroes present, took charge of
him and locked him up in Browne store for
the night. Such are the modes adopted
by Conover's followers to further his in
terests and secure his election.

We see by the Jacksonville papers that E.
NJ. Cheney has repudiated the Republican party
and become rCd-hot Democrat. Good radiance
of bad rubbish. By-bye, old fellow.-Patriot.
A few more such "riddances would
rid the Rdtriofs party in this State of
brains. 1t is only, however, the J" Repub-
lican State ticket that Mr.. Cheney seems
to be most particularly Disguised with.
But we will let him speak for himself In
letter printed in the Telephone of Sept
20, exposing the falsehoods of one Hughes,
he concludes as follows:
If the pubic has any interest in knowing my
own private political sentiments, have no OBJ
lection 10 stating them frankly. am as strong
Republican to-day 40 ever was, and believe
as fully and earnestly ever In Republican prin-
ciples and In the mission of the Republican par
ty; but am also citizen of Florida for veal
or for woe, and am satisfied that the election
and Inauguration of the present Republican State
ticket would be curse Ia the State and death
blow to the Republican party Of Florida. ] shall
support the National Republican ticket to the
best Of my ability, heartily and earnestly, and
hope that It will secure the electoral votes Of
Florida, whether II needs them or NOT. am also
actively labOring for the success Of the independ
ent Republican county ticket Of this county, but
as to the State tcket-if by mischance II should
be elected, 1t will be under no obligations to me
for that result. EDWARD II. CHENEY.
1t is the uncomplimentary manner in
which Mr.. Cheney speaks of the Repub-
lican State ticket that hurts the Patrios.
But in opposing that ticket be il acting
only in accord with hundreds of other
Republicans who believe as he does, that
its election and Inauguration would be q
curse to the State" and If Conover,
through his organ. is going to denounce
all Republicans - " red-hot Democrats"
who refuse TO infict aa curse on Flor
ida, he viii be kept awfulIy busy from
now TO the election, and need not devote
more space TO each individual case than
has been given 70 Cheney.
