weather for December in his predic-

4 FLORIDA ELECTION.-Any one
who fancieS that the late attempt at
an election in Florida amounted to
more than farce, let them read the
following extract of letter just re-
ceived in Washington City, from Il
reliable source, and he will be con
WINGED that no legal election has been
held in that State: "Well, we have
had high old time here in politics.
Florida has united her fortune with
the Solid South and did it with
snap you can guess little about.
There has been no more election here
than there has been in Timbuctoo.
There was day for election, and
that is about as near az you can come
at it. A few days before the election
the Democrats saw we had them
beaten, and they prepared for the
day with the deliberation that gem
eral does for battle, and the result
was a fraud SO great that to call it an
election is absurd. We are entitled
to the Governor, two members of
Congress and Senator, We have
nothing. And so it. turns out, and
Florida is now part of the Soil
South, and Republicans here are
butchered in their own houses"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1881-01-01

dent. Murray Vandiver, if elected
to the House, will endeavor to be its
presiding officer. 1t has been decid-
ed that, if the dominant faction will
be in the majority in the next Dem
ocratic State Convention, Colnptrol-
Ter Heating will be renominated.
The opposition to the managers
propose making contest against the
ruling powers in their party's ranks.
They are now discussing project of
electing rival convention, to man
age the affairs of that wing of the
party. This is to be done by the
election of five delegates from each
ward, to compose a convention,
whose duty it shall be to take action
for the nomination of a mayor, sher-
if. and delegates to the legislature.
The mevsrs in this matter are i'm
pressed with the fact that it will be a
success but as it is a merely tempo
rary expedient. it may be doubted
whether it will be able to hold its
own against its older and stronger
brother, the regularly elected Demo
cratic City Convention. The oppo.
sition is composed of men who be.
liave in the divine right Of boiling,
and seem to glory in the name of
"bolters." They stillthink they are
strong enough to secure the defeat Of
the ring faction. but a few of the
members are rather dubious about 1t.
They propose to make trial of the
comparative strength of the two fac
tons, and this they will have an op
p0rtunity of doing before many
months.
When that is made there will be a
rapid exodus of Office seekers to
come over to the winning side,
whichever that may be. There will
be no Democratic patronage to be
given cut at Washington, and the
dozen or so or Maryland OhcehOlderS
at the Capitol, who have been living
off the fat of the land since the
House of Representatives became
Democratic, will soon have to fall
back on the State or city govern
ments for Office. The question of
party ascendancy is no small matter
to them. Some of them have al
ready picked out their places in the
State House at Annapolis, and are
in hopes that the Offices selected may
be of more value to them than those
they had chosen for themselves under
the general government prior to the
presidential election.

One Of the most troublesome an
noyances and drawbacks to good
neighborhoods is the practice of.sone
farmers in permitting their stock to
run at large upon the public roads !;
the object being, generally, to enable
them to crop the grass growing upon
the sides of the roads. If this was
the only cause Of complaint in such
cases, fOrberance would be justifiable;
but the greater evil is found in tho
fact that if gate is left open whole

There comes from Harlem a story
about an old man, which probably
the doctors will not believe. The
old man was suffering from rheuma-

taken internally would relieve him.
He swallowed a wineglassful, and
soon feeling better, filled his pipe for
comfortable smoke. AS he lighted

lieves that but for his presence of
mind he would have met horrible
death.

Temperance Union of Maryland to

the attention of cur Sunday School
officers and teachers to the import

the scholars thorough total abstinence
principles, and of illustrating the
same by personal example.
Second, That we recommend the
organization of Juvenile temperance

IMMENSE lMMIGRATIoN.-U 10
Tuesday morning the number of inn
migrants arriving at New York since
January !, 1880, was 31S,937. In the
live days that remain before the year
closes il is expected that the aggre-
CRATE will exceed 100000. By COM
parison with the totals of previous
years these figures are interesting to
contemplate. Take the statistics fer
1854 as an instance--the year that is
noted for being the one in which en-
igration was enormous, and whose
record has not heretofore been beaten.
Then immigrants came by sailing
vessels only, and some days small
armies of them were landed. On the
9Th of June thirty-fiYe ships brought
in II, 800 Storage passengers. At that
date the bureau of emigration was
not established at Castle Garden, and
vessels, put passengers ashore at their
various docks. The statistics for the
year show that the number of for
eigners landed in the port of New
York was $40, 223, but this Number
included steerage and Grst and second
cabin passengers. OF Storage pas
sengers alone 1880 falls but 2S6 be-.
hind, and several steamships are due
with their quotas between now and
Saturday.

converts, and last ye only $4,000.
In every church nine tenths of the
members are asleep. He referred
particularly to Pittsburg, Cincin-
natl, Louisville and Lexington,
among other Western cities requiring
awaking up. He found beautiful
churches everywhere, raptrous music
and eloquent ministers, but the old
work of saving souls had gone out
of fashion. There are churches
enough in this country to save the
whole land in FIVE years, but no
practical result from the costly ma
chinery. If John Knox, he said,
could get the lever of prayer under
Scotland, he thought the ministers
could get the pry under this conti-
nent, and shake il from the Atlantic
to the Pacific.

School children in the latter church,
the pastor. Rev. ]. S. Lefsyre, was
made the recipient of valuable
gold healed cane by members of his
congregation. The emily feature on
Christmas that tended to mar the
general enjoyment. was the large
number of drunken men and boys
on the streets. There appeared to
be spirit of rivalry among large
number of our young men, as to
who could get the drunkest and be
the most Noisy and disgusting.
