The Florida Republican Association met AZ
715 Second street northwest last evening, for
the purpose OF selectinga representative to
the Interstate transportation committee, which
meets at 700 Ninth street northwest this even-
ing. AT the outset the Independent movement
in tho first Congressional district was dis
cussed, all present seeming to favor 1t as tho
best course 10 pursue under tho circumstances.
The decision OF the leading Republicans there
cendidate for Ccneress, was regarded as a
pretty certain guarantee OF there being one
Bourbon less in tho Forty-eighth Congress.
Major Clarke and Messrs. De Leon and Smith
participated In the discussion. After desig-
mating II. 8. Smith, president OF the asssocia-
tion, TO represent IL on the transportation

Section 117i Of the Revised Statutes OF the
District of Columbia provides that informers

thorized TO pay the informers, but they are to

How Guiteau May he Hanged.

WASHINGTON, February "A ru-
NOR has been put afloat in connection
with General Buffers visit here. It Ia
unhappily spoiled by Mr.. Scoville's de-
nial, but 1t has nevertheless raised q
curious question of law, General Bus-
Ter several years ago defended District
policeman named O'Brlep, who was
charged with murder. A conviction re-
suited and U'Brien was sentenced to be
hanged. Pending the argument for q
new trial General Butler discovered
that the old Maryland law which had
descended from the English law and
which was still In force here contained
an unrepealed provision that o person
convicted of murder should be hanged
in chains. When the new trial was re-
fused, General Butler said he should
then insist that O'Brien be executed
strictly in accordance with the Law,
which did not sanction the custom of
hanging by rope.
o Brlen sentence was commuted by
General Grant to imprisonment tor life
SO that General Butler had no occasion
to follow up bis point. 1t was reported
that be intended while here to suggest
to ScoVille to demand an enforcement
of the law in Guiteau case. Mr., Sco-
vile says that the advice has not yet
been rendered and that he does not con,
slider it time to give his attention to
such matter. Legal opinion seems to
be that thepoint could be strongly urged
were 1t material how Guiteau was to be
hanged.

Descr iption of our saviour

The tolld wing epistle was taken by
Napoleon from the public records Of
Rome, when he deprived that city of so
many valuable manuscripts. Ii was
written at the time and on the spot
where Jesus Christ commenced His
ministry by Publicus Lentulus, the
Governor OF Judea, to the Senate of
Rome-Caesar, Emperor. 1t was the
custom in those days for the Governor
to write home any event of Importance
which transpired while he held Office !:
&c oNscRIPr FATHERs.-Thsre ap-
peared in these our days a man named
Jesus Christ, who is yet living among
us, and of the Gentiles is accepted as o
pl ophet of great truth; but His own
disciples call Him the Son of God. He
hath raised the dead, cured all manner
of diseases. He Is q man of stature
somewhat tall and comely, with very
ruddy counteaance, such as the behold
er may both love and fear. His hair is
the color of the filbert when fully ripe,
plain to bis ears, whence downward 1t
is more orient of color, curling and
waving about his shoulders In the
middle of his head is seam or partition
OF long bair, after the manner of the
Nazarites. His forehead is plain and
delicate; his face without spot or wrin-
kle, beautiful with q comely red; his
nose and mouth are exactly formed;
his beard is Of the color of his hair, and
thick, not of any great height, but
forked. In reproVtng, he is terrible ;
in admonishing, courteous; In speak
ing, very modest and wise; in proper
tion of body, well shaped. None have
seen him laugh, but many have seen
him weep. A man, for his surprising
beauty, excelling the children of men.-

SAMUEL OF PosEN' At THE GRAND
OPERA HOUSE TONIGHT.
Last summer Mr.. N. B. Curtis In his
cha acteI cation of samuel of Posen"
surprised the managers and critics by
playing three months engagement at
Haverly's Theatre, New YORK when the
thermometer was In the nineties and
Coney Island Ia full bloom. His houses
we're always crowced and his success
was enormous and unprecedented. Next
Monday he opens In New York again
and will certainly more than duplicate
his great success.
During this season he has played from
Maine to Texas and the record makes 1t
appear that he has never failed to draw
crowded and delighted houses at every
performance.
Tonight Mr.. Curtis will appear for
the first time in this city, at the Grand
Opera Honse, and no doubt every lover
OF novel and lauRhable dramas will be
on hand. From what the press If the
whole country say Mr.. Curtis Is q won
derful actor and bis depletion of the
peculiar characteristics OF the Hebrew
and the life and fun Of the drummer,
places him al me in his peculiar line.
There Is nothing offensive to any class
In the play and there Is certainly amuse-
ment for all, from the occupant of the
box to the urchin IN the gallery.
GALL THE RAGE"
This comedy, the newest on the st age
and the Funniest ever written, will be
presented at the Opera House on Wed.
nesday evening next, Feb. 9Th. The
New York Herald of January 9th thus
refers to 1t.
Mr.. William d. EatoB's four act farce,
"All the Rage" VIII Gu was SO fayorably
received in Wllliamsburgh last week,
took possession of the boards OF Haverlys
Brooklyn Theatre last evening. The
company Is an excellent one, and the
hearty laughter which greeted the really
humorous and mirth-provoking situa-
tions with which the play abounds, war
rants the assertion that their sojouFn In
that city will be attended by q success.
The veteran comedian, Mr.. William
Davldge, was warmly greeted by the
audience. Mr.. Frank Hardcnburg was
exceedingly amusing, and the other ar
lists In the cast did their share accepta-
