vindication of Florida Omcnls.

Ransom, the w ashington correspon-
dent of the Jacksonville Times, telegraphs
to that paper on Saturday, as follows:
WASHINGTON, March 25.-The Secretary Of
the Interior has transmitted to the Senate a let
ter in response to the resolution of inquiry intro
duced by Senator Jones, of Florida, on the 9th
of January, regarding alleged frauds in swamp
land transactions in that State.
Soon after the converting of Congress- there
appeared various publications in the newspapers
TO the effect that million or more acres of agri-
cultural lands had been patented to the State OF
Florida in 1879 as swamp lands. 1t was openly
charged that the State officials had bribed the
special agents of the United States Land Office
to make false reports of the character of the
lands examined by them, and that by reason of
such action on the part of the agents, the Gov
eminent was defrauded
Senator Jones' resolution called for any infor-
nation in the possession of the Secretary of the
Interior relative to the alleged frauds and for an
expression of opinion whether the facts warranted
an investigation by the Senate.
The Secretary's communication embraces the
report Of Colonel Childs, special agent who
was sent to Florida to inspect the work of the
agents who made the examinations and reports
upon which the patents 10 the lands were issued.
Colonel Chlds' report differs very little from
those of the original examiners, for out of 341
100 acres re-examined, he finds only 3,64O acres
4
by stating that the original land lines could not
have been known to the first examiners because
he himself was only able to find them after a
careful and laborious survey, method not con-
templated in the instructions given to the first
examiners.
Colonel Childs declined to examine the re-
mainder of the four million acres because they
were so VIGOROUSLY swamp and overlooked.
The Commissioner Of the General Land Office,
in transmitting his answer, says the information
received by him is not of such a character as to
warrant any further investigation of any kind.
The Commissioners reply will fall like
a cold shower bath on the heads of certain
parties in Florida who have been secretly
at work for some time endeavoring to
blacken the character of certain OF our
State officials insinuating fraud and bribery
and throwing obstacles in the way Of the
settlement of FIorida's claims at Wash
ingtOn

Boston Herald March nth:

Boston Herald March 18th: at
may be impossible to gauge the temper
ate instincts of community by the alb
sence or frequency of those places in
which liquors are retailed, though usually
this is test applied in arguments on this
subject. When one is told that place
abOunds in grog shops, the inference that
the people are not as moderate as they
should be in the use of liquor is irresist-
ible. Taking this as a basis, it is curious
to notice the proportion of retail liquor
shops in the several states as compared
with the number of inhabitants. If the
territories are excluded, there is one of
these establishments to every 800 inhab-
itants in the country at large. In the
territories the need of additional facilities
seems to be strongly felt. Thus, in Ari-
IONA and Montana there is a liquor shop
to every ffty-one inhabitants, and in
Nevada the ratio of shops to people is as
one to sixty-6ve. We venture the opin-
ion that, if the question were put to many
persons in this city: In what part of the
country would you expect to find the
largest number of liquor shops in proper
ton to the inhabitants ? they would re-
ply that, outside of the large cities, the
South would have the greater number.
We have somehow formed the opinion
that the Southerners are terrible drinkers,
and yet the official statistics, made by the
government, show that it is in the Northern
States where grog shops are chiefly found.
With the exception of Louisiana, there is
not State in the South which does not
have less than its average of places of this
kind. Thus, while in Connecticut there
is one liquor shop to every 235 inhabi-
tants, in South Carolina there is one only
to each 91O inhabitants. This last-named
State is, in this respect, the banner State
of the Union. Even in Maine there is a
place where liquor is retailed to every
19l inhabitants, and several of the States
make better showing than this While
AaeSdcnuseCCs uOes not make the worst
exhibit on the list Of States, it must be
confessed that, as compared with our
Southern countrymen, the facilities we of.
fer for drunkenness are not to our credit.
In the year 1881 there were in this State
1870 retail liquor shops, this being an
average of one to each 245 of our inhab-
itants If the census OF the previous year
is taken. To make the comparison in
another way, there was last year substan-
tally the same number of liquor shops in
Massachusetts, that there was in North
and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
and Florida combined, although this vast
t~--itery JontAlned population nearly
three time as great as that of the Bav
State"

The Jacksonville Duly Times says the
Middle Florida Fair Association announce
that one of those pleasing and unique ex-
hibitions, originated by that society, and
known as their @Spring Fair" win be
held at the Fair Grounds at Tallahassee,
beginning May Sd. It will be an exhibit
ton of fruits, household products, vege-
tables and flowers, especially the latter,
and will continue, probably, for two or
three days. This will be an excellent OPP
portunity for all those who are interested
in that beautiful and fertile section to visit
it and examine its attractions. The newly
consolidated railway could not better Gel
citrate the uniting of the two old lines
into one, than by getting up giant ex-
cursion to the Chattahoochee river and
return for low round trip rate, and fix
the time 80 as to coincide with that of the
contemplated fair.

When the anti-polygamy bill was be-
fore the Senate such Democrats as VAst
= r4VISAm ana Beck, who were not
afraid of public sentiment when right was
on the other side, says the Montgomery
Adcertiser, denounced the bill in unmeas-
ured terms. It's unconstitutionality was
asserted, and the whole scheme was de-
nounced as star chamber proceeding
worthy of the best days of Buckingham
and Charles |. 1t was worse than a re-
turning board. The commission created
by 1t was to be judge, witness and jury.
Whomsoever it might declare polygamous
should be disfranchised without appeal.
Its word should be law and its law should
be elected under the fostering care of this
all powerful commission, the same omnip-
otence should be transferred to that leg
islature. The courts were to be so hedged
around that nine tenths of the people
should have no place nor lot therein. But
for an amendment brought in at the elev-
enth hour by Democratic Senator, men
would have been excluded from the jury for
opinions sake. On its final passage in
the House, the opposition of Morgan and
Vest and Beck was renewed by fearless
minority of Democratic Representatives.
The bill passed with forty-two votes in
the negative. They were nearly if not
all Democrats, and many of them were
from the South. The people of the coun-
try are opposed to Mormonism and its
teachings. The Democrats are not on
posed to polygamy as party, but as cit
liens of an enlightened country. There
is no party aspect about the matter. It
is condemned by all men and all parties,
by all classes and all professions.
The few who stood out against this
particular bill are minority in their own
party. To them the end does not Justify
the means. One evil should not be in
voked as an experiment for the destruc-
ton of an other. If polygamy be crime
it should be punished as a crime. If pun
ished as a crime conviction should pre-
cede the punishment. The province of
the grand jury and the petit jury is by
this bill transferred to a political com
mission. If anarchy should result, if the
evil should be augmented, no one will be
astonished. The commission will be
more of Republican returning board
than means for the suppression of polyg-
amy. No Southern Democrat, nor any
other for that matter, would vote against
just and feasible bill to put down that
horrible blot upon civilization. If

The action of any official Is a legitimate SUBJ
ject of criticism, and probably none is more de-
serving of critical review than that OF q Judge
when arbitrarily exercising the rights and pow
ers with which he Ia invested as a court. On
the second day Of the Spring Term OF the United
States Court here last week, Judge Locke issued
rule against General j. B. Wall to show cause
why he should not be stricken from the roll of
attorneys practicing In his court for counselling
and aiding in the unlawful hanging Of man in
Tampa, on the 9th inst. General Wall very
properly refused TO put Ia an answer to such an
accusation, but respectfully asked the court TO
waive the rule until after the Spring Term of the
State court In this county, which would be
holden this month. Ibis Judge Locke refused
to do, and last Friday issued an order disbarring
General Wall until further order of the court
In this act Judge Locke proceeded In man.
ner wholly at variance with the rulings of the
Supreme Courts of the United States and of Flor
Ida, as was plainly demonstrated by Colonel
Sparkman last Saturday in an argument before
his court on motion to vacate the order disbar-
ring Mr.. Wall, in not basing biz rule On sworn
complaint, which both these courts have ennun-
ciated as necessary and requisite before the issue
OF the rule to show cause, &C Instead or wait
ing for any such sworn complaint, Judge Locke
Issued the rule on hearsay, and day OF two sub.
sequently called on the United States Marshal Of
bis court TO testify against General Wall; but
even his evidence did not substantiste the facts
alleged In the rule calling on General Wall to
show cause, DC. This h f4iF statement Of the
case and the law points inyolved, but we reserve
our comments for another issue.
