THE WORLDS EXPOSITION.

We print to-day letter from
Gen. Sebring, in which he promises
to visit us again to urge upon the
people of Putnam county the expe-
diency of taking action 10 ensure our
representation at the Worlds Expo
sition in New Orleans. Our COM
missioner has visited us already sew
eral times and found always that the
committee with which was left the
management of our county exhibit,
had done simply nothing. Several
of these gentlemen are now absent
from the city, and if our citizens
wish to make any effort in this di
rection they should remember that
the time for action will soon bepast,
and Putnam, so far as now deter
mined, has no share in q southern
exposition where Mexico and the Is
lands will compete for excellence in
the very products wherein Florida
easily holds the first place Putnam
should be in line with her sisters
our present prosperity was made
possible only by persistent efforts
to convince others that our state was
something more than waste of
damp Sand given over to the domi-
nance of alligator and mosquito.
Private enterprise has done much
for us, good government has brought
capital, our climate ensures q daily
advertisement from every physician
in the north, and our railroads have
made possible the distribution OF
our delicious fruits and early vege
tables, but those make a great mis-
take who now fold their hands an6
think all is done. If adequate rep
resentation can be secured at New
Orleans, we should not shrink from
an expense which is only bread cas-
ON the waters to be returned al
hundred fold Our absence will bt
much commented on our presence
is most desirable. Come and hea
Gen. Sebring and decide at one,
what we shall do.

Col. Watterson's New Ideas on Pro
lection.
From the COMPASSIONATE
The Courier Journal has always been
consistent opponent of restriction upon
the freedom of trade, but in the course of
human events it has transpired that for
patent and cogent reasons we have found
it necessary to except one product of
American industry from the philosophy
Of the operation of free trade and to in
sist that there should be imposed upon it
as high a duty as the traffic can possibly
bear. Without testing the pavement
any longer (as the French might saw in
our approach to the subject, we proceed
at once to demand the imposition of an
export duty on the American girl.
1t has become the fashion for Ameri-
can girls, when they can get possession OF
money enough to buy foreign prince,
count, marquis, or other titled vagabond
who has gone to seed pecuniarily. The
consequence is that the home market is
kept bare of matrimonial material most
eligible to American bachelors, and that
the American girl collects and exports
millions on millions of the domestic
stock of specie.
The only recourse is to impose upon the
American girl an export duty of 80 to u
per cent. 1t might be difficult to est
mate the value of this girl physically
psychologically, and otherwise, but thi:
is unnecessary. Levy the tax upon hel
wealth. If she be worth $500, 900, col
lect $3.50, 600 at the port of export; or, IL
/ g, 600. 600, collect S75O,000. The pro
ceeding should be very summary Nc
time should be wasted in useless formal
/ tiles, such as inquiring into her inten
/ tons, whether, like the whisl1ey men
she merely intends 10 export and REIN
port her wares without breaking the
original package, or whether she soc;
abroad for foreign consumption. 1t is il
all such cases a perfectly reasonable pre-
sumption that she goes in search of some
foreign aristocrat whom she can hire Il
/ spend her American fortune.

THE CHICAGO CONVENTION

Yesterday the interest in the Chicago
colvention reached its height and the
scenes arour1 tho HERALDs bulletin
beard, one Of which was In ir mt Of the
HsBALp building and the other in front OF
the Windsor, were rather exciting. When
the ,lloting began IL Increased and the
bu.lstins were surrounded by crowds com.
posed OF men OF every creed aud political
faith, all NJ whom we're apparently equally
interes. ed in the proceedings. In fact the
democrats exhibited more interest than the
republicans, and forgetting themselves In
the heat OF argument, would discuss the
merits OF the different candidates for whom
they would not dream OF voting. Blaine
was the fsvorite In betting circles. They
regard him as man OF nerve, y sort OF
game.cock, and when his nomination
was announced there was not
muoh surprise. The democrats regard the
ticket the easiest to beas that could have
been 90 ected by the repu bicans, and heavy
bets were waeered that Tilden would be
the nominee OF tho democratic party and
next president OF the United States. The
Arthur men vanished when the nomina.
ton was made known, and now IL is hard
matter to find republican who was not
Blaine man from the jump.
