We have been unable to find any re-
port of sales of 1859. The figures given
for this year are the balance of funds on
hand December 81, of that year. The
figures given for the year 1871 to
1873, inclusive, are the gross sales. We
do not find what the expenses of manag-
ing the Fund during these years were.
During some of these years, there are re-
ported as sales by the land department
certain coaUeyances made to land agents
in compensation for selecting swamp
lands, and also c0nUeyGncss to the Flor
ida Land and Improvement Company
and the Southern Inland Navigation and
Improvement Company, which convey
ances we're set aside by the courts. None
of these conveyances are included in the
above table. In years subsequent to 1878
conveyances were also made to land agents
for selections, and are reported as sales
by the land department, but all of these
were likewise excluded from the above
table.
1t should be remembered, moreover,
that during the greater part of this period
of twelve years, in fact from November
A. D. 1870, the Fund was in litigation
and the proceeds from 1872, as stated,
were paid into the hands of the receiver,

There are in the hands of Mr.. Dogget
as Master in the case Of E. c. Anderson
and others, in the u. S. Court, tl03, 900
bonds, to-wit: $96, 500, P. IL g. bonds,
and 46 500 of Tallahassee Railroad bonds
These bonds Judge Settle decided in
June of the present year, should be can
celled and applied as q credit on the
Schultz decree of May Slst, 1879. Hence
it is that only $S05, $50, principal of P &
g. bonds have been actually paid by the
Trustees, and hence also it is that only
$7l4, ,l02.78 were received on the +. Il G.
part of the Schultz decree. Adding the
4SO5, ESQ paid and the 496, 500 in Dog
gett's hands, and the %, $50 held by pri-
vate parties, we have the e4l2, 400 p. 4

in 1859 accounted for. Besides the es 500
Tallahassee bonds, thus held by Mr. Dog
gett, there are e44,275.S7 principal Of Tai
lahassee bonds in hands of private par
ties, and they will be taken up with pro
ceeds of the Tallahassee part Of the
Schultz decree of May slst, 1879, appli-
cable to payment of principal Of the
bonds. Should Judge Settles decision
of June, as to the 4lOs 900 Of bonds, be
reversed by the u. S. Supreme Court, where
it is now on appeal with supersedeas and
where it will be tried the coming winter,
as all cases of the fund are advanced on
the docket, of course the balance of the
decree of May, 1879, viii be enforced

but should the June decision be affirmed,

JUDGE JEFFORDS
Likely TO be the Republican Candidate
for Congress In the Third Dis
trfef, Mississippi

Special Correspondence of the Appeal
GREENvILLE, Miss, May 30.-The Con-
gressional Committee of the Republican
party of the Third district met here to-day.
There was quite full attendance of mem
bers, and a number of prospective candidates
and their friends looking about aud watch
ing each others movements. The committee
called a district nominating convention, to
meet here on the 11th of July, 10 which the
claims of the numerous aspirants for the
nomination will be submitted, and their fate
thus far decided. The prospects are that
there will be pretty lively tussel for the
nomination, it being very generally believed
that the nominee of the convention will be
elected. The impression seems to be rather
favorable to Judge Jeffords, OF 1sssquena,
being the candidate, and his being backed by
Governor Alcorn, of Coahoma, gives strength
to the impression and adds great weight to
the balance in his favor. Judge Jeffords is
thoroughly sound on the river and levee I'M

member for the district. / have heard no
mention OF Democratic candidate yet, but

Literary Notes.

Mr. Darwin, as already announced, has left
an autobiography behind him. Another lit
ersry treasure found among his papers is a
sketch of his father, almost a. long as that OF
his grandfather which was published some
time ago.
Mr.. H. NJ. Stanley, the discoverer of
Livingstone, is now in command oil the
Belgian West African expedition. He has
again surrounded the Congo Falls and
reached Stanley Pool, where he is building a
Belgian station.
Rossetti, in the days of his impetuous
and joyous youth, need to scornfully call an
eminently respectable painter of former
time Sir "Sloshua" Reynolds. His talk was
buoyant, brilliant and poetic, and he taught
all the young men about him the greatness
of Shelley and Keats.
Mr.. Bancroft, the historian, has been forty
eight years writing the History of the United
States, and yet it is only brought down TO the
election of the first president, 80 careful and
painstaking is his work. Like Gibbop, he
is said to frequently rewrite whole sections
which do not exactly suit him. Though now
eighty two years of age, the venerable his
torian is still at work, and hopes to bring his
history down to the time Of the Mexican war.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

CALIFORNIA AS 1T Is. Written by seventy Of the
leading editors and authors of the Golden State
for the Weekly CdH. Third edition. Published
by the San Francisco Call Company, 520 Mont
gomery street, San Francisco, Cal.
This is the most complete work on any of
the States yet given to the public. Every
county is described, and its statistics of popu-
lation, trade, commerce and manufactures
and its agricultural resources grouped and
presented in the best possible way by writer
identified with it, and who therefore has the
strongest reasons for doing his work well.
That this spirit has guided all of the writer's
is evidenced in the fact that this work is now
in its third edition, and is likely soon to go
to a fourth. We commend the plan Of it to
publishers DESTROYS OF getting up work on
this any of the contiguous States.

any dime novel or yellow-covered sensation

acter with air of romance and adventure
that cannot be too severely condemned. 1t is
to be hoped its circulation will be restricted,
and that the book may thus fail of its pur-
DOse.

WHAT THE TIMES SAYS,

The Times, referring TO the action of the
English and French governments in ordering
reinforcements TO their fleets at Alexandria,
says: at is to be regretted that the demon
stration should not have been originally
made in force, as whether it influenced
Arab Pasha or not, it would have prevented
panic in Alexandria. 1t can hardly be sup
posed that the conference alone will meet
the needs Of the moment. The conference is of
no use while belligerents are actually in the
field. The pressing question is What is to
be done to get Arab Pasha out of the coun-
try 1t is temporary but not an ultimate
solution of trouble which is important at
this moment. Ii the instruction is subdued

THE HOUSE, by its vote on Wednesday
giving Mackey d bibles scat, disposed Of the
fourth of the six contested election cases be-
fore it. In The case of Campbell Us. Cannon,
from Utah Territory, the House declared
neither g, n.leman entitled to a seat In the
case of Lynch Is. Chalmers frtm Mississippi,
they decided in favor OF the former; and in
the case Of Buchanan rs. Manning, also from
Mississippi, they declared the case had no
merit, and allowed Manning to retain his
seat There remains but two CAGES on the
Speakers table awaiting the action of the
H)use-namely. that Of Bisbee rs. Finley,
from the Second district of Florida, and that
oil Lowe q. Wheeler, from tie f ghth dis
trict of Alabama. In each of these cases
the majority report of the Committee on
Elections recommends that the contestant be
seated. The contested case of Smith u.s.
Shelley, from the Fourth district of Ala
bama, is now before the full Committee on
Elections, aud will be the subject of tn ir
next report TO the House. The contestant
being dead, the majority report of the COM
mittee will recommend that the seat now
occupied by Mr.. Shelley be declared vacant,
thus illustrating the thoroughly partisan
purpose Of the Republicans TO enlarge their
msjority in the House by any and every
means possible.
