The Hyer Case.

The recent sale of the Hyer stable, in Orlando,
for nine thousand dollars, makes total of fifteen
thousand dollars realized by Judge Speer, the
trustee, from the property placed in his hands
by Mr.. Hyer to meet the deficit in the accounts
Of that gentleman while he was tax collector
Less than one-third of the property has been
sold. Every sale has brought more than the
appraised value, and as the total deficit was not
much over twenty-five thousand dollars, il is
now certain that every dollar will be paid to the
State and county.
The result, then, so far, fully justiaes the &C
ton of the Comptroller and County Commits.
sioners in acquiescing in the trust executed by
Mr. Hyer to Judge Speer the moment the deficit
was discovered, and the taxpayers of Orange
county will thank both for their business sagac-
ty, and Judge Speer for accepting trust of q
most delicate nature, which required capacity
and nerve to execute, as we'll as sound manage
ment and discretion.
\
And go far as Mr. Hyer is concerned, there
has not been single act of his that has not
been In vindication of his personal integrity,
since the deficit was discovered. We shall not
attempt TO defend his manner of conducting the
business of the collectorship. That he was
careless; that he did not give it the personal
attention he should have; that he is to be
blamed for not personally supervising the COL
lection of the revenue and its transmission to
the State and county authorities, his warmest
friends must admit. But these acts of omission
do not constitute crime. Had he been crimi-
nal, he would nOt as soon as the deficit was dis
covered, have turned over his entire.peoperty in
trust TO make II good. He could have put away
the property and left the State A few hours
travel would have placed him beyond the iurisdic.
ton of any court in the United States He re-
manned in Orange county, with all his property
untouched, because he was ignorant of any de-
Acit IN his Office. This is the whole story, the
unvarnished truth. If the public were surprised
BY Its discovery, they were not any more 30
than Mr.. Hyer. Within few months his per-
sonal integrity will be indicated before the
proper tribunals. Meanwhile the papers that
are prostituting the mission of the press by en-.

their pains Every abuse OF Mr.. Hyer only
creates sympathy for him now

The fernando Neacs is the title of
new and neat paper at Brooksville, pub
lished and edited by Pratt Bros. & J. G.
Luning, very competent and experienced
journalists. The Pratt Brothers were
reared to the business in the office of their
father, the venerable and esteemed editor
of the Palatka Herald.
AS an evidence of the longevity of
the life of the grape in our climate we
may state that we are informed, on good
authority, that an Israbella vine planted
thirty years ago, at Magnolia, is now in
most iourishing condition, although no
attention has been given to it for many
years past. Another in the same vicinity
is supposed, on very good evidence to be
seventy years old. Both these vines have
attained an immense growth, and give no
signs of decay Green Cove Spring.

E. G. Weed. The Bishop impressed all
who heard him as being an earnest and
able man, and with an aim single to the
cause to which he is consecrated. Like
good Bishop should be, he is man of
business, too, and the material interests
of the church will no doubt experience a
new prosperity under his guidance. There
will ever be warm welcome in Palatka

1t reported in Empire that all the con.
csntralors on the Carson river, except those
in use at the Mexican mill, will be closed
down and full force OF men put to work.
The ore will be worked by the old process.
Whether the concentraturs are failure or
not is not stated. 1t is more than probable
that the richer ore now being extracted can
not be treated probably by COMMENTATORS,
owing to the large percentage Of chloride it
carries. 1t has never been claimed by the
inventor Of the Commentators in use ON the
Carson ryer that chlorides could be saved
by them; hence the suspicion. The treat
ment Of ore under the old regime will give
