Aspecial Washington dispatch Of the
9th to the World says: Mr.. Call's
Senate resolution, deelaring that tn good
faith of The Gcyernment requires the e.
ecution 81 the obligations imposed By ths
treaty With Spain in 1918 towards tie
people of Florida, has set Senators look
ing back into history. The story is very
simple, and after Mr.. Jones had followed
Mr.. Cab on Tuesday inFeliipgit to the
Senate, several Senators evinced good
deal OF interest in it aud assured Mr.
Jones that upon his presentation the cases
demanded that relief should be no longer
delayed, and gave him to understand that
he might expectitheir cooperation when
ever he might choose to press them. In
1912, having reason to fear that the British
might try to possess themselves Of East
ern Florida, then Spanish province,
this government sent troops there who
remained until after the war. They
looked for subsistence to the inhabitants
during most of that time and the country
was despoiled and irretrievabIe ruin
brought to many estates. Florida was
ceded by the treaty of 1918, which
provided that the citizens who had suf-
fered should be entitled to relief upon ap-
plication and proof of claim before
United States Court. The cases were
not all disposed of until 1884, when, in
view of the time that had interviewed since
the losses, the DEGREES of court allowed
each claim to draw interest at FIVE per
cent. from date of loss. When the claims
were presented at the Treasury for pay
ment Secretary Woodbury. drew his pen
through the interest accounts, handing
over only the principal. The act was
wholly arbitrary, and was condemned
then as such, and afterwards, so long as
the matter kept in public recollection.
Lawyers, from Brewster to MIR, Evarts,
have given opinions for the claimants, but
until now no effort has been made to seek
relief through Congress"

Conkling goes exclusively among poll
ticians here, and it seems to be his only
social amusement to consider political
revenges and chances, writes Gath to the
Cincinnati Enquirer. The miserable man
has thrown away all the courtesies and
cOnsorts of life for politics, and does not
know what else to do, though he puts on
little appearance of being lawyer. 1t
is apparent to any man who watches
him that his heart is in politics, and he
has cowardly hopes-now flushed, now
fat-of becoming Senator again by some
miracle, or Governor of the State, or any
thing to keep him in the notoriety he has
had in the past. In the meantime, every
effort his coterie makes 10 expunge Gar
field from public admiration has been q
greater failure than the previous one.
The present ebullition in favor of Sergeant
Mason is only another proof that Gar
field needs only to be stamped on enough
to stand as high as Lincoln.

Am Enormous wave of Immigra-
flOm

The immigration during the next six
months promises to assume phenomenal
proportions, says the Chicago Times.
Already emigrants destined for the West
and Northwest arrive in great swarms
The immigration business this year has
opened a month earlier than usual, and
the month of March promises to show up
better than April did last year. The
movement is particularly heavy from
Canada to Manitoba and the Northwest.
1t looks as if the Canadian provinces were
to be en- tirely depopulated. The Michi-
gan Central alone, since March /, has
brought here over 1000 Canadian immi-
grants, and it is estimated that during
the year no less than $4,000 Canadians
will leav e the Provinces and seek homes
in Manitoba and the Northwest. The
European immigration has also aleady
assumed formidable proportions, and
promises to be heavier than ever before.
Nearly all the Western and northwestern
land grant roads have agents in Europe,
who are making the most strenuous
efforts to get all the people they can to
come to this country. Lectures by prom
inent pu bile men are being delivered in
England, Germany and Scandinavia,
dwelling upon the advantages offered to
emigrants in this country, and especially
to the farming classes. The Scandina-
vians, ike the Canadians, prefer to go to
the Northwest, as the climate there cor
responds more nearly with that of their
own country than that of any other Sec
ton in America. The Germans, English
men and other Europeans go to any sec
ton in the West where they find good
opportunities are offered for establishing
their new homes.

The Legislature Of New York having
passed resolution requesting the Presi-
dent to modify the sentence of Sergeant
Mason to o removal from the army"
why not, asks the World, request the
President to modify the sentence to pro-
motion in the army? This action of the
Legislature can only be pronounced a
most unwarrantable- attempt to impugn,
out of Difference to hasty and inconsid-
crate public clamor. the justice and recti-
tude of the military officers upon whom
the trial of Mason was thrust by the civil
authorities at Washington. If Mason
committed any crime against military law
at all, he committed a heinous crime
against military law, and in that case it
was the duty of the court which tried
him to infict condign punishment. If
he committed no crime against military
law, why should he be removed from
the armv?"

A Richmond dispatch of Thursday says
that the Readjusters received severe
check in the defeat in the Senate of one
of their chief partisan measures, the bill
reducing the Judicial Circuits of the State
from eighteen to twelve, which would
have turned out all the present Circuit
Judges and necessitated the election of
new ones. The vote on the passage of
the bill was 1s yeas to 20 nays Three
Readjusters voted with the Democrats.
The bill had previously passed the House
by large majority. The Democrats are
greatly elated over their victory, and ex-
press the Belief that other extreme meas
ures urged by the Readjusters will share
the same fate in the Senate The effect
upon the Readjusters was to make them
call caucus.

The weekly Floridian. [volume] (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1867-19??, 1882-04-04

From Topics Of the Times in Century Magazine for
April.
1t seems now to be doubtful whether the chief
practical result achieved by Senator Malone
and his followers is not simply and solely new
demonstration of the fact that the negro vote
can be used by INSCRIPTIONS leaders who know
how to influence it, no matter what their objects
may be. It hardly needed readjuster party or
the reputation of Southern debts to teach US
this, for the carpet-bag governments set up
throughout the South at the close of the war
had proved it already. The demagogues of the
reconstruction period cast the negro vote as
they pleased, and they cast it, too, for purpo-
ses as directly antagonisic TO the true interests
of the blacks as any for which the Bourbons
since their disappearance have used 1t. 1t has
now been "voted" by Malone in Virginia in
precisely the same way.
The importance of the Malone movement lies
in the fact that it will probably be followed by
other movements of a similar kind in other parts
of the South. Mahone's imitators will not nee
essarily make use of his cry, for in most of the
Southern States reputation is a dead question.
But almost any cry will, for the reasonslwe have
mentioned, do equally we'll.
But it is evidently the intention in certain
quarters at the North to utilize such movements
for purpose which Republicans have the right
to consider good in itself, but which can only be
advanced, in this case, by means full of danger
to the country. The purpose is to strengthen
the Republican party at the South; the means,
the use of Federal patronage in aid of any indie
pendent movement that may be started
1t is now proposed that in Georgia, or South
Carolina, or wherever an Independent leader
shows any strength among the negroes, this
scandalous abuse of power shall be repeated,
and that the custom-houses and post-offices OF
the general government shall be converted into
local political machines to stimulate the move
ment.
