Editor of the Floridian: DEAR SIR notice
in yesterdays Union your remarks on their local
OF the 4th In relation TO The Carp" also their
reply. Now, while their statement does look
little whaleish las they spout and blow OCCASION
ally,) still think we should allow IT, We all
know that Jacksonville is the largest and fastest
growing city in the State. She has the largest
and finest hotels, and-the biggest blowers
Why then should she not have the finest fishf
Besides, the Doctor who is noted for his skill in
toning and invigoratiDg the human system may
and probably has applied his skill TO the Carp,
and it may be that be had the India Rubber or
Leather Carp. / supposed till read the article
that Ihad the largest and finest Carp in the State.
1 know have the Oldest as procured them from
the U. 8. fish commission in the fall Of 1879. and
they have been regularly fed and attended to
daily ever since, coming for their food, however,
without the aid of either cane or spirit-rapping
but would not like to assert that either of mine,
though year Older than the Doctors, would
weigh much or any more than the Union says
his weigh, and consider that mine have made a
remarkable growth. The Black Bass, miscalled
here trout, will not develop half as fast. AS to
their qualities as food l cannot speak from ac-
tual experience. All, however, who have eaten
them speak highly of them; and there is no
doubt but what they are especially adapted to
our climate and inland lakes Mine are now
over two years old but have not spawned. They
thrive best in shallow water Astounding in vege-
table growth, as this is their principal food. not
feeding upon other fish like the Black Bass and
Pike. All other 6sh. turtles and frogs, should
ifpossible be kept out of the ponds inhabited by
the Carp, as they will destroy the spawn. for the
Carp do not bed and protect their eggs till they
hatch, as some fish do, but deposit them in almost
numberless quantities among the bushes and
water-grass and leave them. They hatch in a
short time and the young fish take care of them
selves. GEO. c. RIxFoRD.

Benz. Bird, colored, convicted of the
murder Of Policeman Nelson, colored, on
the 25th of June, 1880, during the mill
riot in Jacksonville, was executed at
noon on Friday last in the Jail yard in the
presence of about fifty persons. A short
while previous to the execution he made
confess ion of his crime to the sheriff and
others, b ut while on the gallows protested
his innoc ence. The trap was sprung and
Bird fell, but as the moose had not been prop
erly ARA ged the end slipped out and he
fell to the ground. He got up with the
sherif's assistance and again walked upon
the trap. The rope was properly adjust
ed and he was launched into eternity.
He fell about seven feet and died from
strangulation. His heart ceased to beat in
II minutes and he was cut down in 81
minutes. Everything passed off quietly.

The failure of the Trustees to reserve ALSO
lutey the right TO sell TO those of our people who
have settled upon lands which may come within
the limits of Disston's selections, al the schedule
price, was negligence of the very gravesi char
acteT, and a great injustice 10 large number
and good class of citizens. Governor Bloxham,
in his recent conference with Disson il is report
ed, tried 10 remedy this defect by obtaining an
agreement from him. ainescile Sun and Bee
Gov. Bloxham tried to remedy no de-
feet of the kind-as there was no such de-
feet existing. The Trustees never surren-
dered the right to sell any of the selected
lands until after Mr.. Disston had paid for
them. Our esteemed contemporary falls
into the error that all lands seIected by
Mr.. Disston are Withdrawn from market
as soon as selected. Again from this
standpoint, his conclusions are necessarily
defective,
What Gov. Bloxham did do, was to get
from Mr.. Disston, in accordance with q
former understanding between them, the
right for actual settlers to purchase their
lands at the old prices-even after Mr..
Disston had paid for the same. His let
ter to tia IT effect has been published. We
hope it will be extensively circulated so
that all actual settlers can understand it.
There has not been negligence of the
gravest character" or "injustice" done to
anyone. The trouble has been want OF
information by those who discuss the
nnoafior

The Pocket Pistol.

The Macon Telegraph draws distinc-
ton between the use of personal weapons
in settled society and society in forma-
tive state. Commenting on the statement
of an East Florida paper that the pocket
pistol is a serious obstacle to the rapid
population of the South by immigration,
it says that doubtless it is an obstacle,
although every part of the United States
in course of rapid settlement abounds in
the pistol and its work. Look at Texas,
from whence we have daily from three to
six reports of pistoling. These come
about as regularly as the sun shines, and
when omitted it is not because they do
not occur. Colorado is also a bold place
for pistoling. The miner requires his
shooting irons more than his pick. In
short, the pistol is the favorite toy of the
new country = even more in the West
than in the Sonth.
In the West the first building they put
up is grog shop and the next is q gam
bling house and shooting gallery; and
the shooting don't hinder immigration,
because Of the two classes of immigrants
- one thinks shooting .fsAs, and the
other knows howSt escape it by keeping
clear Of the grog shops.

A New Scheme for Sending Money
hV Mail


Postmaster-G James has devised
plan for sending small sums of money
through the mails at cheap rate. The
device consists of card having three
columns representing dollars, tens and
cents, and the amount to be drawn is
designated by punching out figures. Two
denominations will be issued, one for all
sums within $3.50, and the other for all
sums within $5. The orders will be pay
able to bearer, and the post-office will not
be responsible for their safe delivery any
more than for fractional currency, for
which they are substitute. The orders
will be finely printed on bank note paper.
The postmaster will sell the $3.50 cards
for two or three cents premium, and the
IS cards for four or FIVE cents premium,
and will himself punch out the amount
paid, and the buyer will simply inclose
the card in his letter and the receiver
can cash it at any Office. The postmas-
ter will enter the amount of the order on
a stub, which will be the only check the
department will need, as the name of the
sender and payee are not entered. In
order to prevent the use of the postal or
ders as currency they are to be redeema-
BILE only for three months from the date
of issue

until the loss of leg disabled him from
further service in the field.
Since the war he has been close stu

written several law books which have

This is an entire mistake. The lands
selected by Mr.. Disston are still on the
market at the same price as before the sale.
Anyone desiring to purchase can do SO,
by sending the price to the Land Of
fee in Tallahassee, and if the land has not
been disposed of to other parties, titles
will be given. Lands selected by Mr..
Disston are being sold every day at the
regular price. We hope our southern ex-
changes will let this fact be known-if it
is not already known in their sections
We supposed all knew it, as it has been
repeatedly published.
There are something over 200, 900 acres
already paid for by Mr.. Disston that are
temporarily 'cittdra'on to be graded as to
quality. AS soon as graded, they will be
at once placed back on the market. Mr..
Disston does not propose to keep any of
his purchase out of market.

General Fitz Lee, of Virginia, is quoted
as saying: al see no indication of a
breakup or Encouragement of political
parties. Here in Virginia we have had
always two parties, the Democratic, or
Conserv alive, as it is locally called, and
the Republican. The former consists
principally of the white taxpayers. the
latter principally of the colored people,
with a smaller number of whites; the
whites hold the Offices and the blacks do
the voting. Latterly we have had in our
midst what has been termed Readjus-
ter party 1t was at first distinct from
the other two, but the distinction will
not be durable. In Virginia, as else
where, there will soon be but two parties,
and l can see no sign of breakup in
either"

Misslssippi's Democratic Candl-
date for Governor.

The Washington Star says that Gen.
eral Robert Lowry, of Brandon, Rankin
county, Mississippi, who has recently been
nominated by the Democratic convention
for governor of Mississippi, was briga-
dier-general in the Confederate army and
is a lawyer with lucrative practice. He
was candidate in 1870 on the celebrated
Dent Conservative Republican ticket for
attorney general, but was defeated with
the rest of the ticket. He was also can
didate four years ago for the gubernato-
rial nomination and went into the conven-
tion with the highest vote, but Stone was
nominated after twelve or fourteen bal
lettings. General Lowry is friend and
admirer of Senator Lamar's, and said re-
Gently, in letter to the press declining
to enter the gubernatorial race, that he did
not sympathize with the crude attacks "
that were being made upon the Senator by
two or three papers in the State. General
Lowry is man of commanding presence
and has the reputation of being one ofthe
finest orators in the State and popular with
the masses. 1t is generally understood in
Mississippi that State Senator Ben King
will be the nominee of the independents,
and that he will be Endorsed by the Green
hackers and Republicans and will make
pretty strong run.
