Judge Dunno, of Chicago, who Is here
making arrangements for colony of inn
migrants to Florida, has just received a
letter from one of his colleagues in the
work at Siou x City, Iowa, from which we
are permitted to make the following ex-
tract: " wrote you from St. Paul, Mimi,
the 18th inst; since then We have made
a visit to Duluth, thence to this place
We return TO Sioux City, go thence to
Dubuque, Iowa, and then start for Flor
ida. have no doubt of the success of
the colony Numbers Of persons have
met at every place we have visited are
anxious 10 go TO Florida. The Disston
Purchase has had the effect to stimulate
capital everywhere for investments in
Florida as well as to bring prominently
before the public the desirability OF Flor
ida as place for permanent residence
From different sources of information /
am confident there will be an immense
immigration to that favored climate the
coming Fall and Winter. A number of
my personal friends, who have become
favorably impressed with the fattering
prospects of the real estate movement in
Florida, and who cannot go this Fall,
have requested me to make selections for
them, as Investments to which they can
go next year and make improvements
upon We are counting the days for our
departure, as l am DESTROYS to get to
work, feeling, as l do, that the colony
will be a success"
There are many people in the North
who desire to know all about Florida.
We would urge upon the people of the
different co unties the importance of for
warding to the Commissioner of Immi-
grafton at Tallahassee facts and figures
for the fort booming pamphlet, to be pub
lished about January next, for general
distribution in the United States. The
time is ripe for the work, and delay may
prove loss to the State of the advanta-
ges already accruing from the "Disston
Purchase"
Let the people of every county see to
it that the ir claims are properly repre-
sented in the new pamphlet, by organizing
and preparing, without delay, suitab
matter descriptive thereof to be sent to
Commissioner Robinson. There's mil
lions in it."

The President.

On Tuesday last, early in the morning,
the President was carefully removed from
the White House to Long Branch. Spe-
cial appliances and conveniences were pro-
vided, aud the removal was effected with
out the slightest mishsp or untoward cir
cumstance. The patient suffered very
little from the fatigue of the journey, and
was safely settled in the Franklyn cottage
at Long Bra hch in the middle of the after
noon. His condition since the removal
has continued to improve, far beyond the
anticipation of his physicians, leading
them on Thursday to declare him conva-
descent, and doing so well that the services
of Messrs. Barnes, Reyburn and Wood
ward, of his medical staff, and Mrs. Edison,
the nurse, could be dispensed with. The
latter Withdrew at the instance of the
President himself, he desiring only male
attendants, outside of his family, and DIR.
Bliss states that the physicians named also
withdrew at the request of the President.
All later reports are encouraging, and
indicate the entire recovery of the Presi-
dent, it being declared to be "only
question of time"

The Florida Transit Railroad have acceded to
propositions made By the Chairman of the 3D.

work and energy into the State exhibit and the
amount Of expense to which they have already
been and must assume In the perfection OF their
plans and contracts they win contribute toward
making one grand exhibit by and under the au-
thOrity OF the State OF Florida In considera-

mel ID. II. Elliott, in the management and ar
rangement OF the exhibit Both OF these gen.
ilemen pledge themselves 10 the very best inter-

This relieves US now of any discOrdant feeling,

each county may enter that noble rivalry, or
rather emulation, as TO which can make the best

The Chairman Of the Supervisory Committee
confidently expects the Committee TO endorse
him IN making the above arrangements as the
very best for all parties concerned, and certainly
OF the State.
Mr.. Place will now cooperate with Colonel
Elliott 10 any and all the counties OF the State,
and will come to or write any one who may
call upon him, 10 regard To any exhibits they
may desire TO make.
And now, iellow-citzens, let US go 70 work

her exhibit where we may heat the room and
maintain u temperature natural to our fruits we
may have actually growing at the Exposition,
such as bananas in all stages, oranges from the

prompt and liberal contribution forwarded to
Mr. j. NJ. Schumacher, treasurer and president of

Time is short, yet we can get it up if we will.

will make the very best arrangements he possibly
can.
Let every patriotic citizen and every man who

Chairman Supervis

The question of the rights of the u
S. homestead settlers on lands in South
Florida granted to the Transit Railroad.
is still being agitated and commented upon.
In June Mr.. Yulee addressed letter to
the Commissioner of the General Land
Office, stating that the company would
relinquish to all such settlers the claim of
the railroad company to such lands, and
accept III lieu thereof other lands of the
United States. This REIMBURSEMENT, as
stated in Mr.. Yulee's letter, which was
published at the time, extends to all actual,
bona tfde settlers who made improvements
prior to the 10th day of March, 1881. 1t
may serve to more certainly settle all
doubts in the matter to refer to the Act
of Congress authorizing the action of the
railroad company, which is as follows:
An Act for the relief of settlers on railroad lands.
Be IL enacted By the Senate and House of Repre-
sentGtices ofNe United States of America, in Con-
gress assembled, That in the adjustment of all
railroad land grants, whether made directly to
any railroad company or 10 any State for rail-
road purposes, If any of the lands granted be
found in the possession Of an actual settler whose
entry or filing has been allowed under the pre-
emptiOn or homestead laws of the United States
subsequent to the time at which. by the decision
of the land Office, the right of said road was de-
clared TO have attached to such lands, the grant
ees upon proper REIMBURSEMENT of the lands
entered or filed for shall be entitled to select
an equal quantity of other lands in lien thereof
from any of the public lands not mineral and
within the limits of the grant not otherwise APP
propriated at the date OF selection, to which they
shall receive title the same as though originally
granted Prorided, that nothing herein con-
tanned shall in any manner be so construed as
to enlarge or extend TO lands reserved in any
land grant made for railroad purposes And
preceded further, That this act shall not be con-
strued SO as in any manner to confirm or legalize
any decision or ruling Of the Interior Depart
ment under which lands have been certified to

Under the above caption, the Lake City
Reporter makes eomplsint against he
State authorities for not having the rail-
roads taxed, as required by recent sets Of
the Legislature. Our friend Of the Re
porter is little too hasty. We are adj
vised that the necessary steps have been
taken to have every railroad in the State
assessed. and that at the proper time, and
in the proper manner, legal proceedings
will be had to determine the question of
their liability to taxation, as required by
the resolution adopted at the last session
of the Legislature.
