We do not know Of any old chronic ONCE
holders from about Tallahassee who have taken
up their residences In South Florida recently, to
I'LL the much coveted cabinet positions. - Idm.pa
Tribune
In Governor Drew's cabinet of seven
there were three South Floridians, viz: Mr..
Haisley. Superintendent of Public Instruo-
ton, from Hillsborough county Mr.. Cor
ley, Commissioner of Lands and Immigra-
ton, from Sumter county; Mr.. Walter
Gwynn, State Treasurer. from Orange
county. We suppose the cold chronic
ofice-holders from about Tallahassee who
have taken up their residences in South
Florida recently is intended as hit at
Messrs. Corley and Gwynn, who lived
"about Tallahassee p" half generation
ago, more or less. Mr.. Gwynn bought
land in Orange in 1855 and moved from
here in 1865. Mr.. Corley purchased in
Sumter in 1859 and took up his residence
there in 1868. Neither of these gentle
men held Office from the time they went
South until called thereto by Governor
Drew in 1877. and in appointing them,
with Mr.. Haisley, we suppose the Gov
ernor thought that he was giving to
South Florida respectable showing in
his cabinet. How long is it necessary for
person to reside in a particular section
to be considered as of that section and
relieve him Of the odor of having once
lived somewhere elseP In the cases of
two of these gentlemen the people of
their respective localities thought them
sufficiently identified with them to elect
them to the Legislature. How is this and
that for " recently?"

almost any kind of labor in WHICH they may de-

can to advance the interest of SUCH settlers
We believe In this a. one Of the best modes of
building up our State, and feel confident that
large number of industrious and sober young
men from the Northern and Western States can
obtain not only employment, but the best aid and
encouragement in establishing themselves, by
coming to Middle Florida. Lands are cheap and
good, and do not have to be cleared, and the Ia
Dor of the country is so unreliable that small
farms must soon become the order of the day,
and vegetable, fruit and grain raising the best
paying industries.
We especially urge our principal land owners
to take some steps to bring in the kind Of immi-
grants that will help most to build up the waste
places-the hard-working and frugal youth Of
the older agricultural States, and offer them such
inducements as will attract them. They will
soon become, with, their frugal aud industrious
habits, purchasers for the surplus lands, and
thus create new population Of the white race,
which, in time. will out-number the blacka-

now borne almost exclusively blythe few large
landed proprietors, who are becoming less and
less able TO pay them every year. They win en-
rich the soil instead Of continually impoverish-
Ing it by constant successive cropping without

Our people arc at last alive TO tho
expressions, IN the transportation line,
that have boen imposed upon them, and
It is much TO their credit that they are
exerting every nerve to throw off the
CALLING yoke. Added to the Yaquina

To tie Honorable Mc Senate and House
Of Representatives Of Ne United

bsd
We, the citizens Of linn County,
State of Oregon, do most earnestly and
persistently insist, that the Congress Of
the United States enact such laws as
will alleviate the expressions imposed
upon ns by tho transportation monOpo-
lies that now control tho interstate
commerce of our country. Railroads,
or Railways, as they are severllly
styled, exact Auetuating and excessive
rates of transportation both for freights
and passengers, and in all such arbitra-
ry exaetions arc law unto themselves,
being beyond the reach Of State legisla.
tion, and heretofore unrestrained by
Congressional enaetments.
While general prosperity pervades
the land, agriculture, the cornerstone
Of our national progress, is depressed.
Tho surplus of our farms is wrenehed
from us TO enrich these giant monopo-
lies. 4 buoyant market instantly en-
hances the freight rates of transporta-
tion, robbing the producer of we'll
earned profits, and levying upon the
consumer unjust taxation. A depressed
market maintains the previously en-
HANGED freight rates, and in neither
case do these common carriers attempt
to promote the public veal,
The patience Of an Industrious, law
abiding people is sorely tried, and with
anxiety they look for relief to your
honorable bodies, from whom alone re-
lief can come. That it will come in the
near future. we have every reason TO
hope. To hasten its coming, We re
specially urge upon your bodies the
enactment of such laws as will prevent
fluctuations in freigh,s, and unjust dis
ordinations in transportation charges.
