JACKsoNvTLLEs BALLOT LAW.
The Quo Warranto Proceedings End In
Victory for the Incumbents.

Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. 13.--The quo
warranto proceedings in the supreme
court against the Jacksonville city coun-
Gil terminated to-day at Tallahassee IN a
victory for the present municipal officers,
the supreme court deciding that the Aus
tralian ballot law, under which they were
elected, was constitutional. This law ap-
piled only to Jacksonville, and was the
first Australian ballot law adopted
by the Florida legislature 1t pro-
vides for printing the names of all
candidates in single column on one
ticket; the names of all candidates for
each Office being arranged alphabetically
and without regard to party, under the
title of the Office sought all names printed
IN the same kind OF type, with dash not
less than quarter of an inch in length
Immediately to the left of the name, upon
which dash the voter indicates his choice
for officers by making a cross or check
mark-X; No person can be
voted for whose name is not
printed on the ballot, but every name put
in nomination by any convention or mass
meeting or by petition of 10 per cent of
the voters must be printed on the ticket,
unless the nomination is declined Each
ticket nominated can name one inspector
and one watcher at the polls. Ballots
must De marked by the voter personally
and secretly in a private booth, unless the
voter is blind or otherwise physically un-
able to mark his ballot. The law now
sustained is pronounced by persons
familiar with the Australian system in
other states the fairest and most complete
so far adopted in America, effectually
preventing bribery and intimidation and
constituting complete educational qualifi-
cation. The law gave such perfect salts
faction in this city and Pensacola, where
1t has been since adopted, that it will
doubtless be made universal by the next
legislature. The fight on the ballot law
was made not so much out of opposition
to the law itself, as because the present
city council were preparing TO issue
100000 in bonds for public improve
ments. The city had voted over
whelmingly in favor of the bonds and the
officials were preparing to issue them
when the quo warranto proceedings were
sprung. The decision to-day will enable
the city 20 issue the bonds Immediately,
and an era Of public improvement will be
begun. The city will he thoroughly
severed, the streets will be paved, the
water system ex tended, and the electric
light plant purchased by the city and en-
larged. The progressive element of Jack
sonville is jubilant over the outlook.

GEORGIA AND THE TARIFF.
The Delegation Divided on the Hold
ing ofa Caucus.

Washington, Dec 13.-With the excep-
tion of Representatives Russell and
Black, the Georgia members of the dele
cation are very pronounced in their opin-
ions of the democrats caucusing on the
tariff bill. Representatives Livingston
and Tate were among the forty who
signed for the caucus, and both claim for
their action that caucus means party
unity on the question. Representatives
Lester and Turner are opposed
to it. Representative Lester says that
the caucus is not binding. Under
the rules only nominations in caucus hald
the participants. If the caucus does not
concede the demands of the few who are
dissatisfied, they will still be dissatis-
fed and if itdoes, all those who
want tariff reform without reference to
whose industry is effected, will have just
cause for complaint.
Representative Maddox favors the
caucus. II will support the bill as it
comes from the caucus,n he said. II be-
heve it to be the only way TO pass it,"
Representative Cabaniss says, "as a
rule ! am iu favor Of caucus action,
but in this instance fear the
result. I will support the bill, as il comes
from the committee"

GOV. JONES THREATENED.
The Identity of the Man Who Sent
Him the Letter Discovered.

Montgomery, Ala, Dec. 1S.-Gov.
Jones some weeks ago received an anony-
nous letter, purportiug to be from an or
ganization known as the Peoples Aveng-
ers, and threatening to end his life by
shooting, poison, or otherwise, in case the
election managers next year were not
appointed in such way as to please the
purported organization, or at any time
they might conclude to kill
him, and that they had
men on his track night and day The
governor took steps to find out the author,
and he was discovered to be one A. l..
Griffith, of St. Clair county, a former
East Tennessee republican and now
populist. The governor, instead of insti-
tuting criminal proceedings addressed
him a letter, acknowledging the re-
ceipt of his communication and read
him a lecture as to the impropriety
of his conduct and the evil conse-
quences that might follow from it. A
postoffice inspector took hold of the mat
ter at once, and his clew was forwarded
by detective who happened to be in the
state seeking to ascertain the extent of
the cotton gin burning business. There
is no credence given to Grifith's vapor-
ing about any extended organization to
commit murder,

Washington Dec. 13.-Ex-C Commissioner

the Georgian is staying quietly at home
looking after his farm. Some of the men,
bers of the upper House are calling for
his condemnation. To-day his defense
began. Senator Vest, of Missouri,
showed iu pretty clear terms the constitu-
tionalty of his appointment, which had
been questioned by Senator Hoar and the
superior judgment he displayed in
his investigations of Hawaiian
matters. In the long fight to come there
is no telling whether Commissioner
Blount will be sustained or not, most likely
he will be, but so far his vituperation
comes from the republican side of the
Senate alone, and the sentiment in the
House is rapidly shifting to the support
of the administration in the Hawaiian
