Cedar Key Journal: One Of the
most enterpfising trips by water that has
been called 70 our notice, Is that of Mr..
Monroe, OF New York, who left town this
week in his canoe Psyche on long
voyage to Key West, thence BY water to
the ST. Johns river and Jacksonville Mr..
Monroe launched his frail craft at EIlayille
and made the voyage to this city without
accident, where he remained several days
awaiting fair winds before again ventur-
ing forth on the turbid waters of the
Gulf.
One Of the evils that apparently may
come to the stock men of South Florida
from the DiSston purchase, says the Key
West Democrat of December 18th, is
foreshadowed by correspondent from
Myers in to- days paper; this is nothing
more or less than Mr.. Disston compelling
the stock ow ners TO buy his land if they
Craze their stock thereon. But this is
right and had Mr. Disston not bought
these lands sooner or later the State
would have viewed it in this light and
compelled the cattle kings to purchase
the lands. AS it now is, they are intru-
ders upon the government domain liable
at any time to be so considered and
treated. The fair thing would have been
for Governor Bloxham and the Board of
Internal improvements to have offered
the stock men of South Florida grazing
lands at the same prices he did DiSstun
aud his cos REGULATORS. II is not yet too
late for this Justice to be done them Will
our Executive take this under considera-
ton and foster this business, instead of
killing it?
Paul @. Salt -koLater who arrived
here with DR.. n. Caruthers a few days
ago, is one of the Indians who were at
Fort San NJ arco three or more years ago
in charge of Capt. Pratt. He is Chey-
enne by birth, but having been adopted
when a boy by the Kiowas, calls himself
of that tribe. Paul was the first of the
Indians selected to GO North to be edu
cated-perlnission having been obtained
from the Indian Department to take one
or more of the young men, by DIR. Ca
ruthers in whose charge the young man
now H. The first effort of the kind
on their behalf excited the interest of
some of the residents and visitors of St
Augustine, who being awakened to and
| influenced by the earnest and energetic
labors of Capt. Pratt, contributed sums
sufficient TO secure education of fifteen of
the young men at Hampton, Virginia.
Paul has n ever been either at Hampton
or Carlisle, but solely since he left the
Fort: under the care and training Of Dr.
Caruthers. He has in every respect full
filled the expectations of his friends, who
have brought him to St. Augustine, in
the hope Of benefting his health which
was injured in an ice cold stream when
over-heated. He is entirely fitted and
hopes to return to his people as mission
airy or teacher if his health is restored, and
would have done so before hal it not
been mpaired.-.S. augustine Press.

lptely as long as they can, with the view
of securing just recognition of their

President Arthur, indeed, can settle the
point at once by declining the autocratic
functions thus thrust upon him, and an
nouncing his intention to give his casting
vote only upon such questions as are
properly within the jurisdiction of an ex-
scutive session. 1t is probably expecting
too much from him to look ter any alb
stention as this, however. The Dems-

ton to say or to deny that there has been

that it was ever in the contemplation OF
the constitution TO give to an officer OF

Windows Plan.

to retain them until further call at the
rate of 81 per cent. interest, by which he
hopes to obviate the evil consequences OF
the defeat of the funding bill has received
great deal of criticism, favorable and
unfavorahle. 1t has been commended by
many that the Secretary is usurping legis-
lative powers in undertaking to enter
into any arrangement to extend the
loan beyond its limit by the act of issue
The Attorney General has however ex-
pressed an opinion favorable to the lsgal-
ity Of The exercise of this power by the
Secretary under the circumstances Mr..
Window hopes and it seems has every as
suralce that by this arrangement he will
he enabled to con inue the greater amount
of the skies from July until Congress shall
make some other disposition, at the re-
duced rate of 8! per cent interest. 1t is
said that many of the large banking cor
psrations have expressed their willing
ness to retain their bonds at the pleasure
of the government, upon the reduced rate
of interest mentioned. The Republicans
hope by this stroke of policy ts extricate
themselves from the very unpleasant pre-
dicament in which they were left by the
veto of he funding bill

numerous, being from this District, Maryland
Virginia, New York, and some from Nova
Scotia. The prices were remarkably elose-ss
much SO as the require close analysis by the
engineers in charge-and it will be some days
before the award will be made known. The

Balls FOR THE ROAD South OF BRANDYwINs,
The company has many thousands of tons OF
iron in waiting to lay down when the weather
and condition of ground will admit of putting
workmen on the lower section of the road, the
most part of which is already graded and
ready for the laying of ties. The company is
now collecting both skilled and common la
borers for vigorous prosecution of the enter
prise, and the managers have great hopes Of
An early completion Of the entire line. They
are enthusiastic over the prospects generally,
and of the great Importance Of this road to the
lower counties af Maryland and connecting
direct with the Chesapeake bay and the nu-
merous Potomac and Patuxent river landings
and by ferry, with the counties in Virginia bor-
dering on the Potomac river.

The detection of Senator Malone and
his desertion of the party under whose
celors he had been acting has given the
Republicans in the Senate an equal num-
Der of members with Democrats, and Vice
President Arthur accordingly has the cast
ing vote. But that casting vot the bal
anciBg forces on either side being elimi-
mated, removes the present officers OF the
Senate and appoints others in their stead.
None will deny the right of Vice-Presi-
dent to vote in such a contingency, but
equally none will pretend to assert that
the constitution contemplated the Presi-
dent OF the Senate being placed in posi-
ton such as to enable him, without ap-
peal, let or hindrance, to weld all this
great power of patronage, covering the
appointment of officers and employees
whose annual salaries aggregates be-
tween $780, 600 and $4,000. The Pres
idsnt of the United States has no such
power, for he can only make appoint
ments with the advice and consent Of the
Senate, but the presiding officer of that
body, in ths case Of tie vote, is ar6iter
d;etum. It is evident from this that the
present position of the Democrats in the
Sapate is not q factious one, and they

Sound Doctrine.

The Calvert Journal Of the 9th instant
had the following we'll timed editorial
comments upon the agitation which has
been threatening the unity of our party in
the State, which We commend to the peru
sal of our readers. If our Charles county
Democracy will resolve upon the course
suggested by the Journal man, We believe
that We too. can, with equal confidence,
predict the election of the nominees OF
cur convention. The Journal said:
If there is anything under the wide canopy
Of heaven that we most ardently wish for pray
for il 10 the success of the Democratic party
Fer many good and cogent reasons, that appeal
to heart and mind, we desire to see it triumph
ant, everywhere in this land. Here, in South
ern Maryland, representing as il does nearl '
the entire worth and intelligence of the people
antagonized by an opposition foisied upon US
by brute force, our desire for its success is even
more intense, and if we shout for joy when vic
tory crowns its banners, We mourn, as hardly
ever Rachel did, when they trail in the dust.
Feeling as We do in this matter, We most sim
cerely regret that there should be q wish on the
part of any Democrat to SOW the seeds Of dis
cord in the ranks of the3 party in Maryland
There are undoubted indications of resort to
methods and means that can have for its object
but one result, the disil egrtion of the party,
and bitter factional fight. That those who
attempt this, will most signally fail we know
we'll enough. No matter in what guse or
under what specious pretext they wage the war
whether As Independents or what not, they will
90 down under the tread Of the true Democrats
of the State. What We wish to see is project
union and concord in our ranks, and to this
end we hope that our leaders and our wise and
loyal men in every part Of the State, will see
to it that before the forces," are set all fncied
or real differences are healed and that the COM
ing compaign will find the Democracy of Mary
landas always, band of brothers.
Speaking for the party, here, in Calvert there
will be DO division in its ranks. The local can
didates, we opine, will not be selected on ac-
count of their adherence to this man or that
man, but the selection will be due to the trust
and confidence of the people. The primaries
will be duly called, the convention duly held
and the candidates nominated, duly elected
Whether they like Mr.. Hamilton best or Mr..
German best will not be for us to inquire
There will be no doubt As to their Democracy,
no doubt lin regard to candidates for the Leg
islaturs) IS 10 how they will vote on the To-
bacco Inspection Law, and not the shadow of a
doubt AS regards their election. This wethink
is q programme that should commenced itself
to our sister counties of Southern Maryland.

Value Of Canals.

Commissioner Fink in lengthy letter
to the New York World, argues that the
canals and other waterways regulate the
commerce of the country and determine
railroad tariffs at all seasons. The Com
mereial Adrertiser accepts Mr.. Fink's con
illusions, and adds that 'if the antimo-
nopolists and anti-corporation members Of
the New York Legislature can ever get
the fact through their heads that every
improvement put on the Erie canal pio-
,ects the public, perhaps they will join in
the good work OF trying to make them
free
Those Of our Maryland people, who find
% much to condemn in the aid which the
State has given to the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal, may find some food for prof
table reflection in this.
