The United States District Court for the
Northern District of Florida having al
lowed Francis Vose for expenses, costs
and charges, in his suit against the Board
of Trustees an amount, which, with prin-
cipal and interest, reached the enormous
sum of one Hundred and t,oenty thousand
dollars, the Board appealed to the U. S.
Supreme Court, and employed Senator
Jones to represent the State before that
tribunal. At the request of the State the
case was advanced on the docket and ar
gued by Senator Jones in March last.
Yesterday the Supreme Court gave its
decision, reversing the judgment of the
court below, and cut down Mr.. Vose's
cost and charges sirty thousand dollars,
thus saving the Fund that amount. Well

The Charleston Necs and Courier
warns the Northern Democratic members
of Congress that unless they stand to
their colors as staunchly as the Republi-
find it exceedingly hard to hold their
own this autumn. The Republicans are
losing ground rapidly in the North, as
well as on the Pacific slope. Their only
hope of getting majority in the next
Congress is by stealing Congressional
Districts in the South. The prosecutions
for imaginary election offences in South
Carolina have the same end in view
President Arthur is kicking out respecta-
BILE postmasters all over the South with
the same object. The Administration
organ in Washington bids high for
Southern Democratic support, and hints
that Administration Democrats in
other States will be treated as generously
as Readjusters are in Virginia. Under
these circumstances any failure on the
part of the Northern Democrats in Con-
gress to stand shoulder to shoulder with
the Southern Democrats, at all times, will
weaken the party here in the South, if it
does not knock the bottom out of the party.
The Northern Democrats, the Mesos
adds, banker after the Independent vote
in the North, and have good chance Of
securing big part of it next November,
but that vote will cost more than it is
worth if the price paid for it is the sur
render of the Congressional districts in
the South which the Republicans claim
as their own. Southern Democrats will
not consent to be ground to pieces be-
tween the upper and neither millstones of
National Republicanism and Northern
Democracy. The South il the backbone
of the National Democracy. Break it,
or even weaken it, and there will not be,
in our day, another Democratic President.

Monticello Constitution. May Al
Independent Candidate for Con-

The Pensacola Commercial of the 28th ult
contains letter from Colonel d. l.. McKinnon
wherein he announces himself a candidate for
Congress from this district, independent of
party, believing that the evils complained of
cannot be remedied under the leadership of
either of the old parties"
We concede to Mr.. McKinnon and all other
men the privilege and right to place themselves
forward as candidates for any position their van
ity may suggest they are capable to discharge
the duties of, but they have no right, in any
effort to court public favor, to traduce and ma
lign the character of any one or more of their
fellow citizens. And this, we claim, Mr.. McKin-
non has done in his letter proclaiming his candi-
dacy. He says:
The false axiom, that e. the end iustifies the
means" adopted and practiced by the machine
politicians has destroyed the purity of the ballot
box, and, rs q consequence, the spirit of ex-
travagant, class and partisan legislation has 90
seized upon the leaders of the party that, rot
fearing removal from their positions so long as
they can control the power of the balIot-box
they have become so bold and audacious in the
wanton violations OF law, and so INSCRIPTIONS
In their defiance of public morality rs to force
the courts of justice. rs well as the defrauded
voters, 10 bow In silent acQuiescence TO their
high behesls."
Mr.. McKinnOn should be more specific he
should state when and where " The purity of the
ballot-box" has been defiled by the leaders of
the Democracy; he should specially designate
the parties who have been guilty of swanton
violations Of law" and who it is that has bid
"defiance to public morality" and forced even
the courts Of justice to acquiesce in such out

Hon. Alexander n Stenbens 10 m

Hon. Alexander H. Stephens is quo
ted by the Washington correspondent of
the Atlanta Constitution as stating that
he is in receipt of great many letters
urging him to become a candidate for
Governor of Georgia, in order to avert
threatened discussions in the Democratic
party of that State In reply, Mr.. Ste
phens has written that public man ought
to be at all times at the command of his
people, if it lay in his power, and that
with his present state of health there is
no imperious reason why he should not
enter the gubernatorial canvass, provided
there is general wish in the party that
he should do so. 1t is known that Gov
ernor Colquitt, ex-senator Gordon and
and Senator Brown have been urging Mr..
Stephens to accept the Democratic nomi-
nation, and it has recently been given
out that ex-Congressman FELTON,, the
leader OF the Independents, would be
glad to fall in line with Mr.. Stephens as
the candidate. General L. J. Gartrell,
however, says he will be an Independent
candidate for Governor, even should Mr..
Stephens be the Democratic nominee.
