"H. G. A." correspondent of the
Memphis, (Tenn.,) appeal, has been Wis
ting Tampa and the lower Gulf coast,
and like many others who have seen only
portions of the State, rushes into print to
tell "what he knows about Florida"
which, as usual, turns out to be very lit
tie. Oh. G. A." has fallen into the stere-
otyped error of attempting to write know
ingly about the State after having seen
but q very small portion of it. Hear
him:
For every acre of land in Florida that will
produce 10 bushels of corn or 500 pounds seed
cotton, you will find 100000 acres that won't
make COW peas nor anything else but palmetto
and wire grass; Il Is SO sandy that fertilizing
does no good unless repeated more than once a
year. You will see it stated that rice produces
cane IL barrels syrup, sweet potatoes 300 bush
els, and so on of the whole list of products. /
won't say that the people lie but will say that
any man is sale in Offering 81 600, 900 per acre
for any farm In Florida that will do so well
without the richest fertilizers that can be bought
and challenge the whole State to show tract
of 40 acres that will make these amounts OF the
articles named.
"H. G. A. has, of course, never visited
any Of the agricultural sections of the
State, and should have been more careful
in making statements which would lead
his readers to suppose that he had. His
impressions, even of the country he did
see, were entirely erroneous, as is fully
demonstrated by the Tampa Progress, in
which we find his letter reproduced; but
when he undertakes to write of the whole
State, having seen but portion of it,
be not only makes himself ridiculous in
the eyes of all well informed citizens and
visitors to the State, but impairs the value
of what he may write concerning those
portions which he did see.
In nearly every county of Middle and
West Florida, and several in East Flor
ida, the figures mentioned by " H. G. A."
as the product per acre of the soil will,
on an average, be almost doubled.
Let III. g. A." come and see for him.

Ex-Surgeon-Gene William A. Ham
mond, of New York, has written letter
in which he takes strong ground against
the course pursued by President Garfeld's
attending surgeons. After entirely excul-
pating Drs. Hamilton and Agnew from any
connection with the alleged malpractice,
DR.. Hammond arraigns the surgeons on
seven counts for the mistakes which were,
in his opinion, committed within the first
forty-eight hours, the principal among
which are, he maintains: Neglect to make
thorough exploration Of the track Of the
wound and to locate the position of the
bullet; neglect to remove the fragments
of clothing and Of bone which afterwards
caused such suffering neglect to extract
the ball while the strength of the patient
was at its maximum and before the track
had been partially closed by the swelling
Of the soft parts treating the case from
the first from the standpoint of guess
work, instead of from actual facts gained
by thorough and intelligent exploration |;
neglect to give exit TO the pus that had
collected and to pieces Of fractured ribs,

from Philadelphis - New York, when
DR.. Agnew did what was proper; being

There seems no longer any doubt OF
South Florida being supplied with album
dant railroad facilities within the next
two or three years The Tropical PENN
sular road is already in process Of con-
struction and by the first Of next January,
will be completed TO within sixty miles
on an air line to this place and It Is
highly probable that the Company will
make . strenuous effort to reach Tampa
during the ensuing year.
The Jacksonville, Tampa and Key
West Railway Company is having the
route of that road surveyed by two corps
of engineers, and as soon as the route is
located will commence work at both ter
mini and at intermediate points and push
it through as fast as men and money can
build it.
Besides these two roads whose con-
struction is now q matter of certainty, the
extension of the South Florida road from
Orlando to the Gulf seems now to be q
fixed fact and then there is still some
talk of the Florida Southern Railway
coming down the peninsula to Charlotte
Harbor; and finally the chartering of a
new road, the Live Oak, Tampa and
Charlotte Harbor, indicates that those
counties whose western boundary is the
Gulf of Mexico, win be near about CEN
trally traversed by the iron-horse.
Thus it will be seen that the prospects
for competing railroad facilities for this
section of the State, are very bright. Now
is the time, therefore, for people who are
thinking of making homes in these PENN
sula counties to be securing places if they
want them on reasonable terms.

The work Begun.

The Mariana Courier states that the
work on the P. & A. r. r. at the west
end "is progressing well. One of the
surveyors party informed us that over
800 hands were now at work near Chat
tahoochee. Colonel Gibbes has been sick
at his home in Quincy for some time, but
is expected back to-day. The line by
Mariana will probably be located as
soon as he returns.
The Pensacola Gazette of the 10th
says: =" A member of the firm of War
ner, Tabler g Company, of Mount Ster-
ling, KY, contractors on the Western
Division of the Pensacola and Atlantic
Railroad, arrived Tuesday with car
load Of mules and complete outfit. He
has considerable force and will break
ground to-day near Pensacola"

Palatka Herald.l

A correspondent of the EcOnOm,st-a clever
writer and Democrat-who has evidently be-
come dissatisfied flor reasons evidently satisfac-
tory to himself with the administration of the
government, even by Democrats, under the ex-
isting Constitution, IN the last issue of that ex-
cellent journal suggests the formation OF new
party, to be called the Party of Constitution"
and intimates that measures have already been
instituted TO give practical effect to the suggestion
Under the present numerical status Of the two
existing parties in this State, il would be dan
gerous experiment, even in the interest of . bet
ter government, TO attempt the organization Of
q third party, and especially for the purpose as
avowed by the writer in the Econ0mist. All its
strength would necessarily be drawn from the
ranks Of the Democratic party, and the Repub-
lican organization would remain intact and be
encouraged by the new party movement; and
the leaders and directors Of said party would
succeed to place and power by very little effort.
We therefore consider the new party movement
dangerous experiment, and certainly will not
receive cOuntenance from men who experienced
the baneful efforts of the disastrous rule of the
Republicans from 1858 to 1877 Such staunch,
unyieldng, determined and patriotic Democrats
as Judge Hilton, the editor of the EcOn0nssst,
can never be lured into the ranks of the new
party organization.
The above we clip from the Monticello
Constitution, and goes to show which
way the political straws blow. It is the
duty of every true Democrat to be on the
lookout, for just such eruptions will crop
out by individuals who have been disap-
pointed in their aspirations for Office.
Men of mind will not for q moment give
way to jealous feelings; and yet, now
and then may be found man of intelli-
gence who will ventilate his spleen against
the party simply because he thinks that
his talents, education and fitness for posi-
ton has not been appreciated. Just turn
over the leaf and suppose that the dissat-
listed party had received cabinet ap-
pointment or some lucrative position,
how changedl Now it is all right, and
for every mistake in the Legislature or
Governor how ready they find it to the
interest of the party to dwell on the
bright side of the picture. But just 80
long as the great National Democratic
party exists there need be no danger APP
pretended from the States on this subject.
However, it is advisable, and, it might be
said, necessary to watch the movements
around US. Putnam county will remain
true and solid, and will ever be ready TO
front up in the campaigns of the future.

Some of the papers sincerely hope that the
next legislature will pass BILL providing for the
publication of the enaciments in paper, in each
judicial circuit. We sincerely hope TO the con-
trary, for the reason that the circulation of the
paper appointed to publish the laws In the cir
cult may not extend beyond the county limits.
The papers published in this judicial circuit, are,
with lew exceptions, taken only by the people
living within the bounds Of the county. The
publication of the laws by one paper In this cir
cult, would be good thing for that paper, and q
matter Of special information 70 the county; but
outside embracing FIVE or ok counties, the pen
pie would remain jcst a. ignora nj Of those enact
ments, az they are now. As general thing the
county papers throughout che State publish the
laws as matter of information to the people,
without cost TO the State. We suppose how

What would the Herald have? If q
bill to provide for the publication of all
general laws, once, in one paper only in
each judicial circuit, failed to pass the
Legislature, what would be the chances
of bill providing for such publication
in every newspaper published in the State?
We respectfully differ with our esteemed
friend the editor of the Herald, when he
states that " IS . general thing the county

laws a. matter Of information to the
people !" aud We venture to assert that

The Colleges and the Advertising
AEemCleN.

We have recently received from adver-
Using agencies their advertisements of
several colleges accompanied by propo-
sitions for their insertion at rates 80
absurdly below our regular prices for
space that we have been compelled to de-
cline to receive them. Az some of these
advertisements were from colleges which
have been advertising with us for years,
we have felt it due them to make special
explanation by letter Of our reasons for
declining their advertisements 90 offered.
In some instances our refusal to insert
has been followed by amended PROPOSE
tions from the agencies, modified in 40
cordance with our regular rates; thus
proving that the agencies are amply
able, under their contracts with their
patrons, to pay Us fair rates, instead Of
the rates first offered. Whether they
pocket the difference between the stand
ard rates and the low rates they offer. in
case their offers are accepted, We are I'M
able to say but one thing 10 certain, vis:
That their patrons, the colleges, by em-
ploying these agencies 70 place their I'D.
vertising, are doing themselves great
injustice, since the rates 90 offered by the
agencies are snre 70 be rejected by ell
respectable nevspapers havinea good cir
cnlation, apd are likely "a NJ accePsed by
