Moving for the Railroad.

The cambridge Democrat, in its last is
sue, had a column of "Railroad Rumb-
lings," from which we extract the follow
ing:
From the foregoing it will be seen that the
points Of importance south Of Columbus are
waking up again to the urgent need of this road.
and, catching the spirit Of the movement, the
City Council of cambridge, at a special meet
ing held on Friday evening last, took action as
follows:
Whereas, The Chattanooga, Columbus and
Florida Railroad Company desire the right-of-
way through the city of Bsnbride, Ga. for the
purpose of laying the tracks of said road through
the city; and whereas, the corporation of The
city of cambridge deems it advantageous to the
city to have the road built therefore,
Be it enacted by the Corporation Of the City
of cambridge, Ga, in Council assembled, That
from and after the passage of this ordinance,
the Chattanooga, Columbus and Florida Rail-
road Company have authority tn build and use
a railroad through any streets of cambridge in
the east or western part of the city, with all the
rights incident 10 and usual for railroads to have
in order to carry on railroad traffic, and that
said railroad shall lie exempt from all city taxes
All laws in conflict with this Ordinance are
hereby repealed
Passed in Council and approved September 6.

j. NJ TERRELL, Clerk OF Council
hssoloed By the Corporation Of the City Of Balm
bridge Ga, That said Corporation tender to the
Chattanooga Columbus and Florida Railroad
Company all necessary depot grounds ii may
need in said city, not to exceed eight acres with
ell rights incident to corporations using sucli
grounds. j. NJ. TERRELL, Clerk.

Aesvs Ediiors: Two years ago for the first
time in twenty years the property-holders and
white people Of this county had In the Legisla
ture member to raise his voice in their behalf
Il is true this representative got their by the aid
OF Republican votes, bat how else could be have
gotten there with q Republican majority in the
county OF between one aud two thousand! Our
present worthy Democratic Mayor of Tallahas-
see and Democratic City Clerk and CouDcilmen
were also elected by the aid of Republican votes;
but this does not decrease their usefulness neith
er did the like fact affect the usefulness OF Hon.
ID. 8. Walker, Jr.. in the Legislature and Con-
stitutional Convention /: he did his whole duty.
Could anybody have better represented and
protected the interests Of this county in the Con-
ventidn than he did He retains q popularity
which will ensure his election he has been pro-
posed for the Senate by some Of the best Dem
ocrats in the county, and the Republicans decline
to make nomination against him.
1t seems TO be the unanimous sentiment of the
county that Mr.. Walker should be elected to The
Senate. Let him be sent there in Q way that
will enable him TO do most good for the county.
l want then 10 suggest. that when our county
Convection meets, let all personal feelings give
way to the good Of the county, and without
wrangling endorse or nominate Walker, and let
him take his seat in the Senate, with nothing
to cramp him, tor We know from the past what
he can do. JUSTICE

(From the Palatka News.)

This gentleman made The Ners Office pleas
ant call yesterday, and in the course OF an inter
view with him we learned that the Prohibition
movement was not making rapid strides, SO to
speak, but gong rather slowly. Only twenty
two persons have been enrolled in this county.
One clergyman only, we believe in the city, is q
member Of the party.
We confess to some disappointment in Judge
Norment He is pleasant. and a gentleman Of
good manners and address, but he is fanalcal
He has made the mistake of all other men who
have hobby" He speaks of his opponents
as saIoonists, and predicts that it will not be long
before the preachers of Palatka will be found
walking arm in arm on the streets with whskey
sellers This is bad language and not in good
taste. Because people do not rush pel nell into
the ranks OF the Prohibition party, it does not
follow that they are "saloonists" The Judge
is disappointed and sore. His third party move
ment is failure. He himself is not the man to
lead a movement that requires 50 much skill in
its management. He Is not born victor"
He said TO US that he believed the reason that
J. Woffcrd Tucker did not join the Prohibition
party was because he Is an aspirant Tor public
Office. When we suggested that that could
hardly be (Mr. T. being one OF the purest and
nObest temperance workers and citizens in the
State, he doubted it, and said he was invcstgat-
ing the matter and would be able TO soon report.
This shows how deeply chagrincd the Judge is
al his meager success and how irritable il makes
him.
The Judge returned home from here He evi.
IDENTIFY has no heart for further work. 1t is up
hill business. Not that there are no temperance
men in the district. but because there ARE 50 few
ProhibitiOnists. The Judges course is almost
sure u result in the defeat Of the Nineteenth
Amendment. He has already disguised hun
dreds OF temperance men In the State.

From the above figures the reader will
readily observe that for the last three
years of Republican rule the aggregate
assessed valuation of property for State
taxes was 81, 567, 1885, on which the people
were assessed $32,65O.e6, while for the
last three years under Democratic rule the
aggregate assessed valuation is $s,62I,-
424, or $685., 289 greater than the valua
ton for the last three years under Repub-
lican rule, and on this the people of Put
nam county have paid only $35, 433.es,
notwithstanding the largely increased
valuation under Democratic rule.
To show the actual saving to the peo-
pie Of Putnam county, we will take the
valuation for State taxes for the last three
years under Democratic rule, and the
rate for State taxes which prevailed
during the last three years of Republican
rule Had this rate prevailed for 1883,
1884 and 1885, the people of that county
would have paid State taxes to the enor-
mons amount of $1O3,457Os instead of
the $35, 4336e which was collected from
them for State taxes for the three years
named, and making the actual saving in
State taxes for three years $68,O23.-
40, equal to about $40 for every man,
woman and child-white and black-enu-
merated in the census of Putnam county

There are probably more romantic associations
attached TO this oil home stead than any other in
Florida. Prince Joachim Murat, the dashng
calvary general and field marshal of the Great
Napoleon, was rewarded for his iilus,rous SER
vices to the Emperor, by the hand of Napoleon's
youngest and most beautiful sister, Caroline,
and the diadem of the throne of Naples They
had an only son, born while they yet occupied
the throne, Prince Joachim Napoleon Achlle
Murat. After the fall ot Napoleon, and the depo-
sition and death of Murat, Prince Achille came
to America with the Lafayette colony who set
tied upon the Lafayette grant-upon which Tai
lahassee now stands-given by Congress to the
illustrious French patriot in recognition of his
services to the cause Of American Independence
Prince Murat married grand niece of General
Washington, and here on the old homestead
they passed quiet life, and now in the old
oak shaded cemetery, in sight OF the home they
loved so well, the descendant of the Bonapartes
and his Virginia bride lie calmly sleeping side by
side. After their death the property was sold to
Hon. w. ID. Blnxham, Florda's honored son and
Governor, and from him has passed To the pres
ent owners. Nature could not have prepared
more lovely spot for these romantic associations,
and we predict great success for these cnterpris
ing young gentlemen, in their public spirited
undertaking

Business Revival.

If present signs are worth anything,
says the Boston Herald, they point to
the conclusion that the business depres-
sion oftbe past five years has thoroughly
exhausted itself, and that the inevitable
reaction has set in. How long this will
continue, or to what extent it will be
carried, the wisest would be powerless to
predict. Before it is over, we shall, no
doubt, have prices inflated TO an extent
almost, if not quite, equivalent to their
late depression; but it is to be hoped that
the tendency upward will be less sky
rockety and more permanent than that
which first made itself felt in the summer
of 1879

We are now in the midst of political
campaign. On one side are the demo
Gratis and on the other side are the repub-
licans. We have often heard Of half
way house, but have never seen any one
who had stopped there over night. Those
who start there generally keep on going
until they get into the republican camp.
Democrats should be careful to keep on
their own side of the fence; if they try
to straddle they will be apt to fall over

We are pleased 70 note that the Com

The primaries precinct elections
win be held on Friday, the 9Th of October,
and the County Convention, at Tallahas-
see, on Tuesday, the 18th.
1t is not necessary for as to suggest
that the Democrats of Leon elect their
best men As delegates to the County Con-
vention-they will do that without ad-
vice from any source.
However, full delegations from every
precinct are desired, as the work for the
Convention to do is of more than ordi-
nary importance in its bearings upon the
present and future interests of Leon
county.
Let the Democrats of Leon come to the
Convention determined to nominate q
good ticket-a strong ticket-and, having
nominated it, resolve to elect it. The
enemy is disorganized, demoralized, and
many of them thoroughly Disguised with
their would-be leaders and their pranks,

crats If we are ever to divide the col
ored vote, and elect Democrats to repre-
sent Leon county in the Legislature, we
need not look fol- a more favorable OPP

task. Let every one come forward, put

Radicals assessed the people $3.50, s7s.ss
for State taxes During nine years of
Democratic rule the increase in valuation
was 80, 756, o05, making the assessed val
uation for 1885 $7O,667, ass, on which the
Democratic government collected only
$271,77064, or $lO2, s07.74 less than the
Republicans wrung from the people of
Florida for State taxes when they owned
upwards of forty million dollars less of
property.
If The Republican rate of taxation for
1876 had prevailed in 1885, the people Of
Florida would have paid the enormous
sum of $s4s, OO9.49 for State taxes, in
stead of $277,77O.64, collected under
