-Ex- Governor Seymour's estimate of Conk-
lings resignation is that it will show the peo-
pie that twenty years of license has brought the
Republican party down to life and death fight
for few miserable Offices"
=" Ii is strange" says Professor Sumner, THAT
our people should believe that taxing farmers to
force the production of iron taxing farmers again
to force the production of ships out of protected
iron, and taxing farmers again to pay subsidies
to enable protected ships to do business, is way
to make this country rich"
The following is list OF the new post Offices
recently established in this State Citra, Marion
county, Conesville, Nassau county Hilo, Santa
Rosa county; HOmosassa, fernando county :;
Medulla, Polk county; Palma Sofa, Manatee
county; Panama, Duval county; Wildwood,
Sumpter county.
One of the correspondents of the Manatee
Nescs pants so ardently for fame that he sends
his letters simultaneously to the Nescs and the
Tampa Tribune. The theme of his doubled bar
relied epistle is high taxes" favorite one with
a certain class Of GROWERS; but he will have very
large sized hornets nest about his ears, if he
stirs up the matter of unequal assessments, es-
pecially concerning orange groves. The orange
grove owners would much prefer that the sub
ject be permitted to lie quiet indefinitely.
The Tampa Tribune of the 4th says o.
433 crates, amounting to 932, 7S5 oranges were
shipped from this port since the 9th of October
by the Tampa S. s. Co.'S vessels. A few ship
ments of oranges were made in other vessels,
the nunnhor We cor,Id MT obtain II ia fhnuOht
that double that amount viii be shipped next
season. The Tribune of the same date states: I'VE
have seen letter from the U. s. Commissioner
of lands in Washington, stating that homestead
ers who made their entries anterior to March,
1881, within the or Is miles limits of the Z. s.
lands to Mr. Yulee's road to Tampa, are not re-
Quired to pay $2.5 per acre if they commute,
and that the Gainesville Office in this State, has
been instructed to correct its errors in this re-
spect."

MIR. Howard, of Minnesota. has employed
number of Germans to work his land in Volusia
county. He has purchased 10000 acres of land
near Datonia which he intends to colonize with
Germans. Twenty three have already arrived,
and Mr. Howard intends sending TO Germany
for the purpose of bringing out more emigrants.
1t strikes us that this is the sure and successful
mode of colonizing Florida. Joint stock compa-
MES in colonizing are apt to end in swindles, the
leaders getting the money and the poor left des-
ttute. But individual enterprise, in building up
our country, will succeed The work may not
be done all at once, bat in time the country will
fill up with good class of laborers
