lands embraced in the 100000 acre purchase,
and who have never acquired titles thereto, 1
would respectfully state that the labors Of these

In order TO prevent any mistakes regarding

Sometime ago the United States Fish
Commissioners sent to DR.. Kenworthy, of
this city, number of small carp, for dis
tributiOn throughout the State. DIR. A. S.
Baldwin secured twelve or fifteen and
placed them in bis pond on Church street
Within the few months that have passed
since they were placed in the pond, these
little minnows have grown very rapidly,
and it Is said, now weigh from FIVE to SAX
pounds each. DR.. Baldwin takes great
pains to feed the fish regularly every day,
and at the proper times, throws small bits
of bread into the pond, and by rapping
with his cane on a piece OF plank, calls
the fish up to feed upon the bread.
Isn't the story of the marvellous growth
stated here just a Gttle fishy? All &C.
counts represent the Carp as a rapid
grower; but for /" little minnows," weigh
ing perhaps not exceeding an ounce or
two when dropped into the pond to
have reached the extraordinary weight
of g from five to six pounds each in
few months " swell a magnificent de-
velopment. We are interested in the
facts connected with this new fish (among
us), as Florida is said to be peculiarly
adapted TO their PROPAGATION, and for
the further reason that We propose to ex-
pertinent a little on our Gown hook"
provided the minnows can be procured.
Will not Dr. Baldwin give the results of
his experience to the public, with such
advice on the subject as will aid the un-
initiated ? We would be glad also to
hear from DR.. Kenworthy who is known
to have devoted much attention to mat
tiers piscatory.
In a country like ours, with lakes in
almost every neighborhood Astounding in
food fishes, persons will not go to much
expense in propagating the carp unless
it is superior to our native fishes and un-
less market can be found for it. 1t may
be doubted whether the carp, as food
fish is equal to our lake trout.

1t is seldom a man makes an open con-
fession that he is scoundrel, but a cor
respondent of the Tribune has met with
such person in Mississippi This cor
respondent has been travelling over the
South for several months and has fur
nished his journal with many facts con-
corning the true state of Southern senti-
ment which must have been rather dis
tasteful to that stalwart organ. In re-
cent letter he says:
In Mississippi was told by number
of Northern people of an account sent to
the North, m press during the Hayes
campaign" which located an atrocious
political outrage at the place which /
was then visiting. These persons seemed
reputable, and they all affirmed that moth
ing of the kind had ever occurred there.
| inquired regarding the author of
the dispatch, and learning that he was
still living few miles away, went to
see him He laughed when told him
my Grand, took fresh chew of tobacco,
and crossing bis feet on the top of the
table before him, began talking of the
affair in an easy, fluent, Indifferent style,
which seemed to indicate that he was glad
to have somebody to talk with, and would
as lief talk of that subject as any other.
Then the dispatch was not really true ?
! said. WELL he replied, it was true as
to the spirit of the South generally at the
time But why did you say that such
things happened at particular place if
they did not P well, now, you know it
would not be of any account to say, at
such time, that there was lots O. devil
ish feeling in the South But it rather
wakes people up to tell them that some
things been done at place they've heard
Of But it was not true But he thought
the use of fable or parable was justi6a-
BILE under the circumstances, because it
was the only way to give point or effec-
tiveness to any account of the condition
of the South at that time. All writers
does pretty much the same thing he
urged they have to- ooh, l hope not
/ said. well, now, if you lived down
here awhile you'd find out we have to
fight the devil with fire. The Northern
people who told me of this occurrence
were good Republicans, and they were
especially indignant about the fabri-
cation, because it alarmed some of their
Northern friends who had been prepar-
ing to remove to that region, but were
now frightened from their purpose"
Our readers, doubtless, remember the
Parr story published in New York papers
and manufactured out of the whole cloth,
and the difficulty of successfully contra
dieting it there, notwithstanding its glar-
ing falsehood and impossible assertions
1t is to be hoped this kind of political war
fare is over, but there is no telling what
the exigencies Of q political campaign will
develope. But of one thing we may rest
assured; it has lost much of its power,
and if resorted to again, will prove CON-
paratively harmless.

Governor BIoxham returned home the
first of l4ss week, having accomplished
all that be anticipated in his recent visit
to Philadelphia He secured for the
jacksonville, Tampa and Key West Rail
road the alternate sections OF land for
six miles on each side of said road through
the lands sold TO Mr. Disston. He also
secured the same for the South Florida
road, nov running from Sanford to
Orlando, and which is being rapidly
pushed for ward through Orange, and viii
pass dow q through Polk to Charlotte
Harbor, and branch from Barlow or
Fort Meade to Tampa
The Jacksonville, Tampa and Key
West road will run directly from Tampa
to Jacksonville, and we learn that work
will be commenced at Tampa and other
points this winter and the road pushed
rapidly through. 1t is confidently ex-
pected that both Of these roads will be
completed in the next two years The
Peninsular road is also being rapidly con-
structed, and our South Florida friends
will soon have all the transportation they
desire. Surely Tampa should be happy
having lands Withdrawn for FIVE different
roads to that point and three of those
roads in q fair way of an early compile
ton. Besides this the Savannah and
Western road is ready for building a
road from Live Oak. to Rowland's Bluff
on the 10 wer Suwannee, and, we learn,
contemplate carrying it on by Archer or
Bronson through the centre of fernando
down to Hillsborough bay. A bright
day Is da wning for South Florida, and
We congratulate her on the bright pros
poets for the future.
The contracts for building the road
from Chattahoochee to Pensacola have
been given out, and that road has all the
appearance of an accomplished fact. In
the near future we can take a car at
Jacksonville and land on the Pacific via
Pensacola aud New Orleans without
change Surely Florida's future seems
assured, and she is on the high way to a

If there was full and equitable assess
ment of all the taxable property in Flor
ida, we would hear less about high taxes.
AS it is now the burden OF taxation does
not bear upon all alike. This is the case
to greater or less extent in all the States,
and we presume a perfect system of as
sessment will never be devised. Yer
mont, however, has hit upon law that
works like a charm in that latitude. 1t
requires each taxpayer to give full and
complete list of all his property to the
assessors, including every trife, and to
make oath as to the fullness and accuracy
of his return. If the taxpayer does not
comply with the law, the assessor ascer-
tains, as far as he is able, the amount of
the property, and then doubles the as
sessment, all property being assessed at
its cash value. At the first assessment
under the law only 100 out of 5000 tax
payers suffered the rather onerous penalty.
The law brought $4,000 taxpayers
promptly up to settlement, and increased
the taxable values of the State sixty
three millions of dollars. The effect of
the new law is thus described by Bur-
lington, VT, correspondent:
"Town taxes all over the State are
lower than for century past, poor peo-
pie are relieved of an Onerous burden and
the weight of taxation Is far more equita-
bly, divided than ever before in the his
tory of the State. Thus, in Burlington,
the city tax is only ii mills on the dollar
against 234 last year, making the poll tax
1920, against $40 in 1880, and the
other large towns show a proportional
decrease. Thus the law is popular with
that large class which pays only the poll
tax, and among property owners the gen
eral feeling is one of willingness to pay
the taxes on full lists as long as all are
served alike. The old law was grossly
unjust and inequitable, and hence Yer
mont became a community of tax
dodgers ; but the new law has certainly
been given a fair trial, and in its results
has proved gratifying success. Judge
Veasey, of the Supreme Court, well ex-
pressed the general opinion in a recent
charge to the grand jury which has made
him beyond question the most popular
man in the State. He charged the jury
that if any assessors had not made their
appraisal of property at its true value
in money. according to their best judg
ment, they should be indicted, and that
the same course should be taken as to
any other violations of the law that such
violations affect not only the persons i'm
mediately interested, but the whole COM
munity, as every dollar wrongfully with
held in one place must be made up in
another II the enforcement of this tax
law said Judge Veasey, SHOULD fill our
prisons or drive off people not willing to
bear their equal share of the public bur
den, the better it will be for the State
Better small population of honest men
than large one of perjurers and shirks.'
And in these manly sentiments Judge
Veasey is fully sustained by public senti-
ment"

The looting Of the Peruvian National
Library BY the Gillian eonguerors is a
violation Of the anvritten lax Of modern
warfare What woald The. world have
said if the German army hid despoiIed
the great Libraries Of Paris of their treas
ures and conveyed them to Berlin But
this Is What aas happened in South Amer
lea The Peruvian Library was estab-
hshed n Lac, says the Boston Herald,
and has slowly grown TO \ collection of
50 sslts volumes and manuscripts. The
pElns:ipai object of the foanders of the
library was the e0IlecxiOa znd preserva-
ton Of al the ancient documents and
books relating to the discovery and con-
quest of Peru BY the SpAniards. The re-
suit of the work of 90 years was the ere
alton of 3 uniquely national library,
splendidly established in noble building
and generously endowed by the govern
ment. As if TO add insult 10 injury, the
treasures so closely identified with the
national life of Peru were packed in sugar
sacks for transportation To Valparaiso.
Beside plundering the national library,
the Chilians are reported to have seized
and sent home the books, drawings, sci
enti6c apparatus and collections belong
ing to the university, the Rormal school
and other institutions of Learning. Brave
and successful as the Chilians have shown
themselves in warfare, they will have per-
manently disgraced their civilization if
they do not restore to Peru its library
and to its educational institutions their
apparatus and collections.

We elsewhere print an article from the
Montgomery Adoertiser referring to the
p. & a. road. 1t indicates that the bril-
liant promise of the great enterprise
which is to connect West Florida with
East-Pensacola with the Atlantic has
already flashed brightly upon the percep-
tions of people outside of the State, and
they begin to see, as clearly as We do,
not only the essential importance of the
undertaking, but the magnificent results
that will accrue. New Orleans and Mo-
bile-all the country west of us-should
begin to wake up to the fact that the
road will place them three hundred miles
nearer the Atlantic than they ever were
before by rail. This advantage in the
struggle of Gulf ports with North Allan
tic ports, quietly assured to them by the
State of Florida, without asking them for
dollar, should forcibly address itself to
their comprehension, and enlist their in
terest, and their encouragement II it is
too late for their capitalists to secure any
of the " fat stock of the road. it is not
too late for their journalists to encourage
the enterprise by charging on its impor-
lance.
Our contemporary of the capital of
Alabama wants to tap the p. & A road
signing, a. it were-for the breezy SOL
itudes of shoal st. Andrews bay. Mont
gomery has now an almost air line to the
deep waters of Pensacola bay. Should
her southern road strike the line of the
p. & A., through the rich valley of
Holmes, it will make more business
for the former road, for both roads.
Perhaps road will reach down from
Georgia, too, to clasp hands with the
great artery of Northern Florida, and
give the people of the " Empire State of
the South" chance TO 60 quickly to
Pensacola, Mobile, New Orleans, Texas,
Mexico-all the southwestward world.
The Adcertisev speaks Of the P. q A.
road Is having terminus somewhere ssthis
side Of Pensacola" A small error. It
