Hon. Thos. Hind, of Georgetown, was

ted il. Bisbec is entirely ont Of the field.
Mr.. Hind is an Englishman and thinks
Gladstone will fail in his Irish bill in
the present House Of Commons: but that
his measure will ultimately triumph, af-
ter the submission of the question to the
country. Blaine, in Mr.. Kinds opinion,
is the only prominent candidate on the
republican side for president, and that he
will, in all probability, be nominated.
Mr.. Hind is ready to throw up his hat
for him. Relative to state and county
matters Mr.. Hind had little to say. He
thought the new constitution would be
adopted. lie will vote for It il only to
secure the adoption Of the clause in it
providing for future amendments of the
same.
Mr.. Hind reports everything in the
way of business at Georgetown as being
in fair way, and cheerful state of
feeling existing. His grove is looking
well, with fair promise of fruit this
year. But diversity Of employment is
the great necessity of Florida to-day, in
his judgment, and our people will never
become rich and prosperous until they
settle down to that idea and practice it.

in good condition and aS comfortable as

the number Of occupants.
The Jail is in dilapidated state, but
we are glad to know, that we are to
have new one in the near future. How
ever, we see no reason for the present
uncleanly and filthy condition Of the
present building. Aud would rccon-
mend that for humanity sake it would

We have examined the books of super

iifty-seven schools reported. The at

are fourteen of these houses condemned.
This is Il serious matter, and should be
looked into by the proper authorities.
We iind the warrants of the teachers all

The tax collector brought his books
before lis, and we found them kept nice.

with the law a, to the duties Of his
office.
We learn from good evidence that the
county commissioners did not sit as n
board Of equalization for the year 1855,
greatly to the annoyance Of many Of the
tax payers, and we would ask that the
attention OF the county board tc called
to this fact and the evil rcmelled
We find on looking over the books Of
the treasurer and clerk of the board OF
county commissioners that there is nc
itemized statement of the expenditures
OF the county money. We consider i,
one of the most important duties Of the
county board to make such an exhibit
and have it published in the newspa-
pers of the county, that every tax payer
of the county may SEQ for what purpose
the moneys are paid out and We ask that
the county cause to hc instructed that

Of receipts AMI disbursements ready for
