TIE ADMINISTRATION.

Whatever the future may have to dis

THUR, there is one fact about which
none can have excuse Tor doubt. his
Administration will move entirely IN
the plane, OF what is significantly called,
practical politics. I's aolestar vii! be
party success, and TO that en- all It's
measures and actions will be boldly o.
recfed. The late President GAEFIEl
was an ardent politician, and usually
thick and thin partizan, but be was
wont, occasionally, to ascend some hill
OF observation and sinking the partizan
in the patriot, to view political issues
with a large and enlightened statesman

occasions were amazing to his party,
and sometimes inConvenient for him.

held sncn high language about public

Honest Indiana Republicans Dis
gusted.

The late Dorsey banquet in New York
city was the scene of much boasting OF
the Republican victory in Indiana in Oc-
tober last, and Vice President elect Ar
thur so far forgot himself, In his "after-
dinner" speech, as to practically confess
that his party bought the State. Indi-
ana. he said, twas really, suppose,
Democratic State" which was carried
by close and perfect organization and a
great deal of-(aughter.)" Such close
limiting at facts has displeased some of
the Republican managers who, whatever
they know of the methods of their party
workers, are always pointing to the or
ganization as one Of the purest ever
known. One of these men says; 81
was, of course, heartily glad that we
carried Indiana, for it was of great i'm
portance to the canvass; but it is not
dignihed or fit that the Vice President
elect, a great officer of the govern
ment, and possibly an actual President,
should speak in this manner of
things which decent men deplore, if they
have to tolerate them, and then should
go on to pledge his warmest friendship
and support. as he did to man Dorsey
to whose operations he ought carefully
to have shut his eyes" Still another
prominent Indiana Republican says:
Dorsey, whom none of US had ever
seen until he came to our State to man
agethe campaign, viii always be known
in my part of the State as the author of
an immense number of new two dollar
bills which got into circulation after he
came to Indianapolis, and of the over
abundance of which our banks now
complain. / understood at the time that
it was very difficult for Dorsey to get so
many new two dollar bills together, and
that in the end there was a subsidiary
shower of two dollar and half gold
pieces, but that fell in some other part
of the State, for our voting population
saw none of them"

The Florida Central and the j., p.
and M, Railroads.

Both of these roads, under decree of
the Hon. Joseph P. Bradley, were sold
at public cutlery in the city Of Jackson
vile, on the 25th day of September,
1879, by special masters appointed for
that purpose. Both roads were knocked
down to Adolph Engler, the representa-
tive of the complsinants in the suit. who
are commonly known as the Dutch
bondholders.
The highest bid for the Florida Central
Railroad was 1906, 900, and for the Jack
sonville, Pensacola and Mobile Railroad
was $50. 600. The first named railroad
runs from Jacksonville to Lake City, and
the other from Lake City to the Chatta-
hoochee river.
About ten days since, the purchaser
gave notice that he would move the
court in Jacksonville for an order con-
tirming the sales. This motion, it ap.
pears, has been delayed for the reason
that the case has been before the Supreme
Court of the United States. The opinion
of the court affirming the decree rem
dered by Justice Bradley has been made
public, but the formal mandate from the
Supreme Court to the Circuit Court in
Florida has not yet been issued.
All the parties interested, with their
respective solicitors and counsel, were
present; but the case assumed an unex
pected shape, owing to motion filed IN
the court by W. s. Chisholm, the coun-
sci and solicitor of Henry s. Haines and
associates, offering an advance of $685.
600 on the former bid. and praying a re-
sale OF the Florida Central Railroad, for
the reason that on the 25th day of Sep
TENDER, 1879, there was Of force an order
from Justice Bradley superseding his
decree Of sale, which with certain state
ments from one of the masters to the
effect that in his opinion there would be
no sale, deferred the movant and others
from being present and bidding for the
property.
The motion for confirmation was
Withdrawn yesterday, and, we under
stand, it will not Re renewed until after
the mandate from the Supreme Court is
fled in the Circuit Court. We have
heard that parties interested with Adolf
Engler have recently purchased the At
lantic and Gulf and Transit Railroad,
which runs from Fernandina to Cedar
Keys, and crosses the Florida Central
at Baldwin; and that if the sale of the
25th September, 1879, be confirmed. it
viii be their policy to runt he three
railroad in one interest.
We fear that such an administration
would not be favorable to our sister
city of Jacksonville, which is now so
hourishing and whose future promises
to be SO prosperous.
We would not wish TO have Fernan-
dina lose one dollar of her trade. but we
would regret to see check placed upon
the progress of Jacksonville, which is
rapidly becoming an important COM
mercial city and the fsvorite winter |
resort of the people of the United States.

Gladstone's measure of affliction is not
vet filed. The Irish trouble, three wars
in South Africa, fresh disturbances in
Afghanistan, and increasing infelicities
in the Eastern question. not to mention
numerous miner matters of gravity,
might be supposed to furnish woes
enough for the British Ministry. But a
fresh disturbance looms up at this
iuncture. The Highlanders of Scotland
are up and ready to spring to arms.
They have heard that tyranny is about
TO strike them in the shape of decree
that they must strip off their tartans,
and adopt the usual costume of the
British people. They have met in mass
conventions. They have resolved that
they viii never surrender. The Prince
of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh
have been appealed to for sympathy.
And Her Gracious Majesty has promised
to interpose her royal edict against the
outrage. Considered in connection with
the solemn facts of the British situation,
this ferment in the Highlands is like the
low comedian in tragedy.

The Hartford Times, commenting on
the project now on foot to drain Lake
Okeechobee, says: ''By thoroughly
emptying the lake it is believed that the
entire region of the Everglades can be
drained with it, and thus leave for SUI
gar cane, indigo, coffee, juts, etc., an
area of very rich land as large as Rhode
Island and Connecticut. 1t is practi-
cally below the frost line, and has for
many years produced bananas, pine
apples, cocoanuts, and other tropical
fruits, in places not swampy. A Loui
siana sugar planter is credited with the
declaration, made on seeing some sugar
cane from the Everglades, that it was
far ahead of the possibilities of Loui-
siana, and that the land which could
produce 1t is worth $3.50 an acre. 1t is
not impossible that the large region now
known as the Everglades may yet be-
come the garden spot of Florida and the
favorite resort of winter tourists from
the Northern States.

Highwaymen have SO often rifed the
bullion and coin-hearing Treasury boxes
of Wells, Fargo & Co., while in course
of conveyance through the counties of
Placer and Eldorado, in California, that
the company has determined to discon-
tinue its service in those counties, al
though it has been maintained uninter-
ruptedly since 1889. The worst infested
routes in the whole State are respectively
only sixteen and thirty miles long, and
branch out from the same place, the
small town of Auburn; yet, notwith
standing every precaution, robberies on
those roads have been of annual occur
renee since 1860, and, it is thought, must
have cost the company fully 500, 900,
and perhaps double that amount. But
the company has never allowed these
losses to interfere with the prompt pay
ment of every dollar due to those for
whom it was transacting business.

The Washington Star says there is a
good deal Of importance attached in
Democratic circles in that city to the
speech delivered in the Senate by Sena-
tor Mcdonald last Thursday. tits whis-
peIed that the Senator laid the corner
stone of new or rather reconstructed
Democracy, which is to be organized for
the political battle fields of 1882 and
1884; not that the Democracy contem-
plate abandoning either their name or
their doctrines, but that the policy of
wagering is to be done away with. and
the doctrine of free trade or tariff reform
is to become the shibboleth. The Sena-
tors speech was devoted to showing the
benefits of free trade and the evils of
protection, and those who assume to
know assert that the West and South are
to join hands in making free trade the
national policy.
