A CORRESPONDENT of the Cincinnati Ca
zette now in Florida, writes that it looks as
if the Democrats would stir up their breth-
ren with the declaration that Republican
victory in that State would turn the negro
exodus thther, and that such thing "must
be prevented fairly or foully" One leader
made the following declarations: "The
Democrats must carry Florida this year, no
matter how, for Republican victory in this
State would make the niggers of the other
Southern States come pouring into Florida.
They cannot stand the northern climate,
and Florida will be the point to which they
will come, so that Wen be oyerrun with
niggers. We must carry the State this year
if we have to shoot niggers to do it. l be-
lieve my God will forgive me for every mig
ger KILL"

II may not be generally known, yet it 10
n fact that the only money fer school pur.
pos~s that the parishes may rely upon is
the poll tax collected from residents Of the
parish.
In Claiborne parish there are nearly
three thousand voters, from each Of whom
. poll tax Of one dollar may be collected.
But no Collector has ever collected all the
polls in the parish. Usually they fall be-
hind several hundred. But a. much a.
two thousand dollars ought, by all means,
to be collected. This amount ought to
support ten schools for five months, which
would be far better than no public funds
at all. The people, in consideration Of
these facts, should give to the collector all
possible aid in his endeavor to collect this
tax. 1t Is in the power Of every planter
in the parish to secure from his hands tho
poll tax, if nothing else. Indeed it il, We
believe, required by the law that he shall
be responsible. for the poll due by bis EN-
ploy-es.
Instead Of growing abou, this provision
Of the law it seems that private aud pub
lie interest would 10 advanced by strict
and cordial compliance with the statute.
OF one fact we are certain, the size of
the school fund will depend entirely upon
the amount of this tax collected. There
are no funds for school purposes to he de-
rived from any other source.
Let the people, then, ace to it, that all
poll tax. 4 citizen who will not do all
that he can to aid the Collector has GER
ta'nly but little public spirit or interest in
the free education Of the masses
