Quincy Herald After reading the
report OF Commissioner >ebrlng, we
entirely dissent from the puerlie ana
sneering Tallahassee telegram which az
peared in the Times Inio,. Of the 10th
inst In our opinion, it l. an IN. ast and
unfair criticism. We believe that t1en.
Seibring has done more for Florida best
interests than the would be witty CORES
pendent, and Of the two would decidedly
select Commissioner Sebrlnr as repre-
sentative in promoting the prosperity Of
our beloved State In his report the
Commissioner is profuse in mentioning
The names of all persons who assisted IN
the Exhibit, and he calls particular
attention 10 the value Of their services
We again say the State owes a considers
Bile debt Of gratitude TO Gen. Sebing, as

The scurrilous reference to Commits
sioner Sebring's Report made by Talla
hassee correspondent of the Jacksonville
Times Union has been promptly CON
demned by sundry journals, and we ex-
pect to note like expression in many 9TH
ers. As to the opinion entertained 10y
Director-GeneralB Burke Of the character
and services of Florida's Commissioner,
we extract the following from Gen. Sc
brings autograph album:
The energetic. large hearted Commissioner
of the Land Of Flowers, has reflected credit
upon his State and goes from with the friend

The recent move for The construC
ton of = railroad north ward from Ia Ia
hassee to tap the Georgia railroad system
was the result of the popular conviction
that such road would do more than any
thing else poss bly, could do for the bene-
fiji OF this couutv-and that il would, IL
bevond question That the most feasible
way Of rHisli-g means TO ensure the COB
s;ruction of the road is by donation Of
lands, Was a conclusion which led TO the
appointment of trustees TO receive sut-
scriptions thereof. The situation Is there
fore, that what we want and how TO get
1t are speclhed-and the getting il IL quite
at our option. A small percentage Of
the lands Of Leon county would supply
bonus that will secure the building OF a
road which will enhance the value Of the
whole by AL amount greatly IN excess
of The valuation Of those donated This
il not disputed, and therefore it is reason
able 20 conclude that land holders viii
act for their own advantage. and give
what they will scarce miss 10 add value
70 what they retain The road would lit
orally open our country, for il is now prac
ticalIv shut ~ from the world. the onv
railroad connection being indirect, ex-
pensive and lengthy. Open this gateway
Of communication with the Georgia system
of railroads, and those with which they con-
meet, aud our country viii be brought near
to millions of people, and thousands viii
annually flock into this fertile and beauti-
full portion Of Florida TO sojourn for sea
son, or TO invest their means, make their
homes, and build up the country as
they have been doing in more accessible
localities Of the State for wears past
New markets of demand for whatever
our lands produce will be opened, and
new markets of supply whence merchan-
disc viii reach u al cheap rates Of
freight. We will be 8 out of the woods ;"
and into the world Of active life and pro-
gress Our lands will command the price
OF their real value, our city VIII grow, and
the pleasant BONES Of farmers throughout
the county will be multiplied as the DE-
mand for the products of their industry
assures continuous prosperity. Without
the railroad these things cannot be.
Therefore we must have it The sooner
We nave it the sooner the value of real
property viii be doubled, trebled, quadru-
Piled, and the prosperous destiny of this
section be fulfilled Even if the value Of
lands were quadrupied the price would
not exceed what was paid for much of
them in wild condition many years before

handsome properties.

There was a very fun vote polled 81
the Republican caucus in tliis township
last Saturday, being 1O5 votes cast
The meeting was called to order by the
township Central Committeeman, j. +.
Morse, and the call stated. ID. T.. Smith
was then elected Chairman and Judge
Pratt, Secretary. A motion was made
that the caucus proceed to elect I've
delegates and five alternales, to repre-
sent this township in the Republican
County Convention TO be held at this
place on the 5rd of OCTOBER also that
each voter place upon his ballot the
names Of the different gentlemen whom
he wishes to support for the various
Offices this fall An amend ment was
offered to this motion FIR a primary
election, as follows;-that a committee
Of FIVE be appointed by the Chair, to
make up a ticket of FIVE delegates and
I'VE alternates, which ticket should be
submitted to the caucus for approval or
rejection. But The voters present think
ing that they were as competent to
select a delegation while acting as q
committee of the whole, as they would
be by submitting it to select committee
Of FIVE, voted down the amendment, and
the orig inal motion prevailed. On mo-
ton the polls were held open two hours,
and when the Yates were counted 1t was
fouud that the following gentlemen
were elected delegates and alternates
DELEGATES. ALTEREATEs.
d l.. Smith, D. Close,
j. B. Woods, J.. W. Edwards,
j. NJ. Cox, Lee Scrivner,
F. B. Cannon, A, c. Bailey,
N. Polling. S. G. Cummings.
The delegates were instructed to sup
port the following gentlemen in tbs coun-
ty convention: For Register of D aeds,
B. E. Morton; for County Treasurer,
Phil. Townsely; for County Clerk, s.
j. Hartman; for Sheriff, NJ Osborni
for Coroner, DR.. 81. Wallace; for Sur
veyor, F r. Weeks; and for Commits
sioner of the Second District, H: Nc
DOweu
As there was a very full vote of the
township polled, as ample time was
allowed for every man to prepare his
ballot as he chose, and as each man
instructed for, received a majority of
all the votes9cast for that particular Of
fee, there is no just cause for the least
dissatisfaction. While the HERALD may
have had different preferences in some
ity in this township, and is glad to know
that all the delegates elected will stand
implicitly by their instructions.
