(Mr. Whitfield explains that there
was difference of 60 cents between
bis figures and those Of the Depart
ment).
Governor Jennings statements
that great things had to be done by
him to "secure" the payment to the
State of these moneys is the Verlest
bosh, But IL be had so much in
auence and power, why did he not
demand and collect interest upon
the above amounti According to
Treasurer Whitield's official letter
furnishing him with information on
the subject, he had full notice Of the
rights of the State in the premises.
That letter says;
"As a consequence, the amounts
mentioned above as having been
withheld from the State and not APP
piled for the benefit Of the State are
still due TO the trust funds of the
State by the United States, the same
being in the aggregate Sl3,2Ol.T,

est should be paid from the date Of

The Governor beats the world in
magnifying what he claims to have
done: but his "work" in collecting
the $I3, POI. IL, and failing to col
lect interest thereon, which Treas
urer Whitfield plainly and officially
advised him was a just claim against

"a State official, to discharge
properly the duties and functions Of

Live every possible moment of his

nefarious purposes at the recent

by pretending to "warn" them not
to vote in the primary for a conven-
ton, because, if they do, aud con-
vention is held, it will be the pur-
pose of that body TO destroy the
primary system. Could anything be
more outragcously insulting to free

AN ENEMY TO THB SCHOOLS.
In the Times-Uniou Of January
% appeared an editorial exposing
the false claims of Governor JET
lings to great credit for the collec-
ton Of the Indian war claim. Re-
ferring to the amount thus secured
for Florida, (through the action Of
the States delegation at Washing
ton, and in no sense through the
perfunctory official acts of the Gov
ernor), let us consider some of the
results.
The school fund received, from
the amounts which had been applied
by the department at Washington to
the interest due on Flonda's bonds
held by the Indian Trust fund, the
sum of ssO,O72,42, and from
amounts due the State which had
been withheld but not applied to
the interest account, the sum of
S. $500, making a total Of $685.
362,ll, which came, under the act
of Congress of ls4j, to the school
fund Of Florida.
The school fund was clearly en-
titled to interest upon this SUN, but

the State Board Of Education, OPP

to the school fund, and in bis mes.
sage utterly ignored this just claim
Nevertheless, the facts were set forth
so strongly and plainly in the report
Of the State Superintendent that the
legislature passed the bill allowing IL
and the governor was constrained TO
approve it, Notwithstanding his for

ties thus had 800 sos, 90 to be divi-I
ded among them for school purposes
which they would not have had If
the governors policy had prevailed.
