The Hrospect in Orange.

Tayares Herald.
We do not belive that General Perry
and his friends viii have cause to com
plain of Orange county. A careful study
of the situation satisfies us that Pope will
be beaten in this county by nearly 1000
majority. Many republicans will vote
for Pelry-so many, indeed, that our es-
innate of his majority viii be rather
found under than above what ii Will ac-
tuaIlv prove to be. There is not a part
of the county that does not reveal this
condition of affairs. We predict that
nearly, if not quite, twenty five hundred
votes viii be polled, Of which the demo-
cratic electors will poll 800 and the re-
publican electors 1000 General Perry
should poll /, ,750 and Pope $50. For con-
gress it is at present difficult to estimate,
but in any event Charles Dougherty will
fall behind the electoral ticket at least
two hundred.
But ON the governorship Orange will
give the banner majority Of the state, of
that we have no doubt Very few DEM
ocrats here will vote for Pope It follows
that if that gentleman is to be elected it
must be by west and middle Florida
votes One thing is beyond question,
and it is that he will not get any en-
c0uragment from Orange.

General Pem.v,s Position.

From his Speech at Vernon as reported IN the
Pensacola Commercial.
AS for himself, if elected, he had no
enemies to punish, no friends to reward;
he would be the governor Of the people
of Florida, and in his appointment of
county officers (Which power ne hoped
he would never have to exercise he
should try and select the best men with
all the lights he could get before him; ne
was the tool nor special friend Of no
clique, ring nor faction; he was the lega-
tee of no mans administration. Charges
were made of corruption on the part Of
members Of the democratic party who
had been or were still in power. There
were tribunals before which they could
be tried and punished, if guilty, and if
elected he would spare no means to bring
every guilty man to speedy trial, and
would show nomercy IL they were found
guilty He had been lifelong demo
crat, but not a politician; he was dem
ocrat because that party had always sus-
tanned the true principles Of republican
government: he was a democrat because
the party had always opposed unjustt tax
alton, and had always advocated taxa
ton for public purposes only.

Whore Hawthorne Died.

Plymouth IN. H. Letter.
"There, " said the clerk, ''if you care
to, you may sleep in the room where Ma
thaniel Hawthorne died"
We were all surprised, and showed it,
even at the cost of displaying our igno-
rance. The schooIma'am was delighted,
and blushingly begged the privilege
of taking just peep before took for
mai possession. We all went upstairs
together, AMI were shown into a large
airy bedroom, furnished about the same
as rooms in a good country hotel usually
are, with a big black walnut bedstead
and snowy white counteIpane and pill
lows. 1t faced the main street of the
village. The furniture in this room is
about the same as it was when the au-
thor of 50 The Marble Faun breathed his
last there, just twenty years ago. Haw-
thorne had been riding with eX-president
Franklin Pierce, with whom he had been
travelling in search of health He went
to his room feeling very much refreshed.
Mr.. Pierce found him the next morning
lying upon his side dead, as though he
had passed peacefully away in slumber.
Travellers who know the facts and stop
at the Pemigewasset House always ask
to be shown the room in which Haw-
thorne died

ia "ahasscc Floridian.
And now Mr.. Pope finds himself in q
very distressing predicament, and one
which he might have foreseen when he
pledged bimself to give one-half of the
offices to negroes il they would endorse
him ut the Tallahassee convention. He
secured an independent nomination at
Live Oak in order to obtain tie repebi-
can nomination at Tallahassee: but after
the independents gave him the nomina-
ton to secure the offices. he had to throw
half OF them overheard in order to pay
the price of the republican nomination.
Now the independents are abandoning
him, and the predicament he is in is that
if he would retain them he must ropudi
ate his bargain with the negroes, and if
hadoes that, he Ieses the support Of the
negro element. Consequently we find
him lodging the issue by equivocating
MISUNDERSTANDING that he has mot
promised ANY MAN an office, for which
we have his word; and we would also
have his word if he said that he had not
hargained that the negroes should
have half the offices. if he is elected; but
he cannot say that without throwing
away his chance Of their support, and in
viting such contradiction from those who
know the facts as would disprove his
statement. The New Era, however, bis
personal organ, denies that Pope prom
ised half his official patronage to colored
people. The fact of the business IS that
Pope is trying to carry water on both
shoulders and spilling from both. He
wants to please bo5h independents and
republicans, and pleases neither; and
neither side can t1ast him. They are not
foolish enough for that, although they
have both acted very fooIishly, they have
learned something from their own fool
ishness.

William E. Shaner to-day filed in tho
Orphans Court petition in the matter of
the estate Of the late William II. Belts.
The petitioner says that at tho timo ho
filed petition for letters of administration
on the estate and until recently he did not
know that the deceased had niece, and be-
lieves him to have died intestate.
lie was called upon to take charge OF the
remains. Circumstances required him to
take charge of what was on tho person OF
the deceased. He took diamond shirt
stud, S45 in money, a pocketbook contain
ing $500 gold certificate, q Smith & Wesson
revolver, cigar case, hypodermic syringe
and n silver watch.
These are tho only articles belonging 10
the deceased which have come into the nos

Out of the funds found on the body
OF the deceased were paid the funeral ex-
penses. On the 10Th day of August last the

for money disbursed on account of tho es-
tate, and tho diamond shirt stud were
stolen. The stud and Sli4 are now in tho
hands OF the Property Clerk, held as evil
denco against the party charged with the
stealing, and the petitioner cannot get hold
of them until after the trial in the Crimi.
nal Court.
Demand has been made upon him by the
widow of the deceased as administrators for
the articles received by him. The petit
TONER expresses willingness to turn over
to tho proper persons everything in his
