IAN Important Movement"

We refer to correspondence elsewhere
printed under above heading. The
thoughtful enterprise of Captain Chipley
in this matter, seconded by the efforts of
State Superintendent Russell, will proba-
bly, result in the assembling of several
hundred teachers, to constitute the grand
est Institute" ever held in a Southern
State. An event of such magnitude will
certainly be productive of great good
not merely because of the instruction that
will be impaired, but because an assem-
blage 80 numerous will impress upon the
public mind and upon the teachers them
selves realizing sense of their import
ance, and their responsibility as servants
of the people entrusted under the govern
ment with the duty of carrying out the
educational work of a commonwealth
Assembled in an army, 80 to speak, the
soldiers of enlightenment and progress
will feel their strength as whole, and
when again scattered at their posts of
duty will battle with better heart and
larger hope against the enemy-the igno-
rance and prejudice which they are en-
listed to overthrow. Though single
handed at their stations, each may feel
but as one of many fighting in common
cause, and accomplishing great good at
large though individual results may seem
small-a noble aggregate made up of
many contributions to the educated

Judge Mcclellan.

The appointment of the Hon.. James F. Nc
Clellan to succeed Judge Maxwell on the bench
ofthe Circuit Court is now a fixed fact Before
our next issue goes to press it is expected that
he will have made his debut upon the bench. No
better selection could have been made out of the
bar of the whole State for this high and honor.
able position. Mr.. Mcclellan is widely known
and universally respected In Florida. Nor is his
reputation confined to his own State. But his
fellow-citizens of jackson county know him
best Though native OF Tennessee, during all
the years of his active manhood, he has been a
resident of this county. And it is here, where
he is known, that he Is most admired and e..
teemed. Only his intimate friends are aware of
the lofty and solid character of his intellect and
the kind and generous qualities of his heart. His
legal learning, his keen discrimination, his facil-
ity in perceiving and applying general principles
his readiness in seeing both sides of question,
ft him admirably for the position upon which
he now enters. The Colonel "a title, by the
way, ofno buncombei" origin, but earned by
arduous and honorable military services-is just
where his admirers have long desired to see him.
We congratulate the Slate and District on this
accession to the ranks Of our Judiciary. Mari

Oranges.

We protest against Middle Florida be-
ing ruled out rs an orange producing
section. 1t is true that some years ago
most of our orange trees were killed
back, but so we're vast numbers hundred
miles and more farther South. There are
orange trees in Leon county that have
borne fruit regularly for nearly fifty
years, and great many that were killed
back four or five years ago are coming
into bearing. There are many localities
in this section where the chances of trees
being badly injured by an exceptionally
severe freeze would be reduced to mini
mum, and the risk in planting them would
be no greater than the farmer takes when
he puts in cotton to feed possible cater
pillars. Regular orange grove business
would not be prudent" too many eggs
in one basket but the chance of profit
favors the planting Of a considerable
number of trees on every farm. They
might be killed back in few years and
they might escape to bear many crops.
Enough of them might live to supply
home consumption every season, or
enough to make considerable shipments.
The cost of planting and caring for small
groves would be trifing, for heavy ex-
pense in fertilizing would not be neces'
sary here as in some parts of the orange
belt" An understanding of local condi-
tions of "protection for orange trees
would doubtless enable the selection of
many tracts where they might live to a
good old age-profitable to owners and
attractive to travellers. Such protection
is sought by grove planters in parts of
the orange belt" proper. Everybody
who comes into the State must see an
orange grove, or depart with felt want
untitled. Therefore we should have some
orange groves SO that the gentle tourist
may not be obliged to leave Leon county
to find one. If the trees scattered about
Tallahassee were all together there would
already be very sufficient grove, and it
is easy 10 plant as many together in
protected" places and have sundry
groves. If not, why notp

tain at an earlier age than any other OFF,
Ger of the regular army. He resigned
from the army ia 1887, engaging in rail-
road work, and on the breaking out of
the civil war was commissioned Major
General of Ohio volunteers by the Gov
ernor of that State. After the defeat of
Mcdowell, at Manassas, General McClel-
Ian was commissioned Major General in
the regular army and appointed to COM
mand the army of the Potomac, and on
the retirement of General Scott, in No
vember, 1861, he was made General-in-
Chief of the Federal army. He devised
the peninsula campaign, but was forced
back after the seven days desperate fight
ing in front of Richmond. In September,
1854, General Mcclellan received the
nomination for President by the Demo
cratic Convention at Chicago, but was
defeated by Lincoln. A few days after
the election he resigned his commission
in the army and went to Europe, where he
remained until 1868. Returning he became
a citizen of New Jersey and engaged in
engineering. In 1877 he was elected Gov
ernor by the Democrats of New Jersey
and reelected in 1879. General McClel-
Ian was offered the Russian mission by
President Cleveland, but declined because
of business engagements, and was to
be offered place in the Civil Service
Commission. On the announcement of
his death orders were issued from the
Executive Office and the War Depart
ment, and the following message of con-
dolence was telegraphed by the Presi-
dent:
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. 1885.
To Mrs. Geo. B. Mcclellan Orange, ~ IT,

death, and, while know how futile are all hu-
man efforts to console, must assure you of my
deep sympathy in ysur great grief and express
to you my own sense of affection at the loss oil
so good friend GROVER CLEVELAND.
In Europe, where partisan feeling did
not affect opinion, General McClellan's
reputation as a soldier was of the highest.
The following is from an eulogistic article
in the London Standard:
The death of General Mcclellan removes an
other prominent figure of the civil war. He
however, was not fortunate. He had the ill-luck
to be politically opposed to President Lincoln
and therefore did not receive the necessary sup
port. McClellans glory was short-lived Grant
was certainly not such a master OF the science Of
war. Long before the civil war Mcclellan was
an experienced soldier. His soldiers loved him

Hon. b. Lsois. oaairs GU Cbsssa.
Ip compliance with yuur request tr iuforma-
matida as to cost, &c, e vksss wbskA 4 would
suggest the following ssa3lan Of such works:
Isl. Two cisterns at che City water lot, with .
capacity Of not len than twenty thousand gal
Ions each. These woald be used principally a.
setting Tasks. ana coald aso have filters At
tached 10 them ~ f+S s*8
%; q powerful pump g be located at that
Sd. Piping, &c, about one mile, s $50 feet of g.
inch pipe and about II, 900 feet Of finch pipe.
The finch pipe running east and west on alter
nate streets would afford sufficient protection,
and the system could be easily and cheaply ex.
tended. About Is hydranis, New York city pat
tern and such gates to regulate pressure In lower
parts Of city as should be necessary. A brick
pump house. Boiler for pump to be Of kind
known as quick steaming, which should make
plenty of steam in six minutes from cold water.
4th. tank, capacity of not less than $1,000
gallons, to be located upon an elevated tower at
some high part Of the city. Bottom Of tank to
be not less than 80 feet above surface OF earth.
This should throw stream of water as high a.
any building Ia the city, except probably the
Capitol This would afford fire protection in
case OF emergency. A good fire stream would
use from 1900 to 5000 gallons per hour. In
case of fire pump would force water directly into
the main.
This system would be firstclass, and with 700
feet of hose, hose pipes, &c. hose carriages could
be put in for $4,000.
The city would, of course, expect the contrac-
tor to guarantee the work and its results.
Since first investigating this matter, have
come to the conclusion that the main pipe should
not be less than ialhesand the laterals inches.
Such of the laterals as are not likely to be ex-
tended could be safely terminated with 3-inch for
short distance only. The friction of water in 3.
inch pipes, as compared to 6-nch, is as 131 is to
.05, or about 90 times as great.

our deliverance from the shock and danger of

Il
Thsre were elections in nnnber of
States. Tuesday, bat public interest was
almost engrossedby those in New York
and virginia- which went all right !
The Republicans had high hope Of carry
ing New York, and tie Democrats were
very anxious--but the Empire State went
all right The mongrel hordes of Ma
hone were fighting desperately in their
last ditch in Virginia, cheered on by rad
calleaders from other States-but the Old
Dominion went all right! 1t was feared
by some that because the mugwumps OF
New York were paid off with few Of
tees for their services in making the ma
tional administration democratic that the
Democrats of New York would rebuke
the Presidents policy by detection from
the party standard, but they stood to
their colors, showed that they could carry
the State without mugwump assistance,
and gloriously endorsed the administra-
ton. So far as known at this writing the
Democrats carry New York by a much
larger majority than last year. So too
in Virginia-snd these events do not in
dictate that the National Democratic par
ty is divided and weakened as has been
croaked by the croakers, but rather that
it has been solicited and strengthened,
and will retain control of the Federal
government at the next election.
In Mississippi there was no opposition
to the Democratic State ticket.
The election in Connecticut was for
one-half of the State Senate and members
of the House of Representatives. The
Democrats gain six Representatives and
one Senator, but the Legislature remains
Republican by small majority.
In Maryland the election was for
Comptroller, Clerk of the Court of APP
peals, members of the House of Delegates
and one-half the Senate. Returns indi-
cate Democratic gains, and working
majority in the Legislature.
In New Jersey the election was for part
of the Senators and members of the As
sembly. The Democrats gained several
Assemblymen and the Republicans two
Senators.
In Massachusetts the election was for
Governor and other State officers and the
Legislature. Robinson, Republican, is
elected Governor, as was expected, though
Prince, Democrat, carried the city of
Boston by about four thousand majority.
The Democrats gained members of the
Legislature in several districts. The re-
turns are quite incomplete.
In Pennsylvania the election was for
State Treasurer and Directors of the Poor
and Jury Commissioners in the counties.
The returns for Treasurer show Republi-
can gains, and the candidate of that party
will be elected by fair majority.
In Iowa the election was for Governor
and other State officers and members OF
the Legislature. The returns are meagre,
but indicate that each party about held
its own.
The election in Nebraska was for Su.
preme Court Judge and Regent of the
State University. The returns are scanty
but indicate Republican success by about
the same majority as last year.
