up two deck IianJi who bad been loft r-verboarj there rout lb "Hatlie JJaxksr," lo a bundle of hide! with them. " In the raorning we found ourselves In Lak George, a moat beautiful eh cot of water, and the largest lako en the Ht. Johns. Ticked up two passenger nt Orange Springs, one of whom was a northern man naiued Bridger, who had been there to bury hi brother who' had settled there about a year be fore. The other, a planter, brought on board a pair of beautiful red birds, which his son disired him to sell. The pilot bought them fur a quarter, and they were a poor ioreetment at that, as they escaped the same night. At Welaka, our friend Webster got off, to take a few days bunt We were sorry to part with him, as he was an intelligent man, and very pleasant company. . We arrived at Talatka about three o'clock in the afternoon. Saw here a park containing five deer, natives of Florida. These deer are considera bly smaller than those killed here, but their meat is the best we have aver eaten. Here we took on a couple of ' Pennsylvanians whom we had met at Sand Point, whom we dropped ngain at Tocoi. The most of this night we lay at anchor on account of wind, and lack of wood. In the morning, Mar. 3d, we landed and took on wood and venison, and shortly arrived at Green Cove Springs. The boat stopping some time here, ac companied by Bel dot:, we went up in to the very pretty little town to see the spring. We found it to be quite a . pond, about twenty feet in diameter, and some ten feet deep. The rocks at the bottom were covered with a light green substance, and the water boils up through tbern suffiicieutly to form a stream six feet wide by three deep. We tasted the water ; found it warm, and tasted strongly of sulphur. We thought of Sodom and Gomorrah, and , the lake of brimstone. At Maudarin, 12 miles from Jack sonville, the residence of Mrs. Harriet - Beocher Stow was pointed out to us, . She has a beautiful place to live, and undoubtedly takes Comfort. .Between bere and Jacksonville we ; were entertained by Dr. Gillespie, whose reuidouce, he claimed, was in N. Y. City. lie had been a very , pleasant companion up to this time, but, unsolicited by us, told us a string of the wont "cock and bull" stories we ever heard.. He had whipped man about twice bis size, at Sund Point, aud bad made another take . water. He had protected unsophisti cated travelers iu St. Louis, aud had rescued captives from Mexican ban ditti on the Rio Grand. He had scared a cut-throat almost to death, in Aus tin, and had killed a man, and wound ed a woman iu San Antonio. His meat was human flesh, bis driuk fresh gore, and his favorite mode of travel ing was on a blood-vessel. Oh ! he was a terrible man! The only thing . we feared, as he concluded, was that some one would give him a chance to how his prowess, when he would un doubtedlo have cringed like a whipped cur. He was tolerably safe, howerer, .. as he was almost gone with consurnp . tion, and a person would almost as oon pick a quarrel with a bed-ridden invalid. Arrived in Jacksonville just early enough to miss the train for Savannah, . which train connected with the North ern steamers. Found we could not get a boat before the next Thursday, nearly a week. Concluded to go home overland. That evening wo visited , Mr. S. H. Hookw, formerly of Rouse' ville, now in the furniture business in Jacksonville. He is a very gentle manly person, and is doing a good business. We also called upon Thos. .Wilson, formerly of Hartstown.Craw ford county, who served in the 10th Penna. Reserves, during the war. In company with a gentleman who bore arms on the other Bide during the war, he is running a large grocery, and saw-mill, and has a large schooner on the river, which sails between ' Jack sonville and Halifax, on the east coast of Florida. He is a fust-class man in every particular. In the morniug we boarded the train for Savannah. Our fellow-traveler, Belden, was on the tame train, on his way to Mobile, Ala. Duriug the trip be had the misfortune to lose his tick et, for which he had paid something over $30. He took bis loss easily, and . instead of changing at Jessup, went on to Savannah to make another draw cp his banker in Troy, N. Y. W.thinp in rrarlii'iilar lian'ieur-i from Savannah to Tionesto, except constant traveling. Vc paved through Ycsaince, Augusta, Charlotte, Dan ville, Salsbury, Lynchburg, Alexan dria, Washington, Baltimore, Harris burg, and Pittsburgh ; thence by the A. V. U. R. home. We had a busy journey, and were very much tired out wheu we reached home, but a few weeks brought us around all right. Our opinion of emigration to Flori da, is this: If a mau has a small capi tal, and ran make himself comfortable there at once, ho ould, in the course of eight or ten years make a little money; but we believe the day for making a fortune in four or five years in Florida, has rone bv. Last winter thero were millions of orange trees set out. hen these trees get to bearing, urnges will be cheap. A man who has no capital, we believe can live bet ter in this country. We are done with the record of our travels, and if our readers aro as tired of it as we are, it is high time. W. R. DUNN EDITOK. WEDNESDAY MOOING, IAT 1. 1876. FOH PRESIDENT JOHN F. HARTRANFT, of Pennsylvania. If the Democratic managers have done nothing else since they obtaiued possession of one branch of Congress, they have attained undying infamv as the foulest slanderers that ever dis graced American politics. All win ter they have had tbeir paid strikers aud blackmailers at work in Wash ington manufacturing scaudal. Hope less of ever possessing the full control of the government through merit. their only hope of success lies iu de stroying the reputation of every Re publican leader. They have almost arrived at that point of desperation where assassination would be a natur al resort. The Hon. James G. Blaine is the latest mark for their mu i-balls, and they are bespattering him with wonderful zeal. Other candidates for President come in for a share ; but his conspicuous position as the Repub lican leader in Congress, as well as the fact that he is making rapid stride in popular favor by his successful ex position of ex-Confederate villiany, excites an extraordinary degree of ha tred. Like all the other Republican candidates, Mr. Blaine will come out of this storm of abuse unharmed as his explanation in the House indica ted. His integrity, bis sobriety and his domestic virtues are too well es tablished to suffer from this wholesale dirt throwing. Whether be shall be nominated for President or not we hope he will live long to confound the ex-Confederates; and if he shall be nominated, the spirit with which he will grouse the enthusiasm of the Re publican party and lead it to victory will explain why the Democratic man agers are so troubled about getting rid of him. - Our Washington Letter. Special to the Rcpi'bLicas. Washington, D. C, April. 28, '70 The great feature of Congressional proceedings this week was Mr. Blaine's short but exhaustive reply, made last Monday, to the charges and insinua tions against him. His statement in eluded the testimony of Col. Thomas Scott, President of the Union Pacific road at the time be was alleged to have fraudulently paid Mr. Blaine $64,000. Mr. Dillinn present Presi deut of the road ; Morton, Bliss & Co., through whom it was said to have been paid aud Mr. Rollins, then and now Treasurer of the company. They each and all positively and emphatic ally deny nny knowledge or the al leged transaction. His own state mcnt was equally positive and frank in regard to the Union Pacific story, and as clear aud specific relative to guilty pussesuion of the Arkausas rail road bonds, as the vogue character of the bints aud insinuations connecting him with the matter was susceptible or mutation, lie tendered his best efforts to facilate any investigation that might be ordered. The simulta neous appearance of this slander iu widely seperated sections of the coun try is decidely suggestive of concerted action in putting them out ; and the manly bearing of the ex-Speaker and bis torbearauce toward the conspira tors who have persistently sought his over throw, challenged the ad mini tion of every hearer of his speech, and will increase his popularity with the intelligent masses or the country irre spective of personal preferences for the Cincinnati nomination. Doubt re meo fa'ittais are tno out crop- pings of rebel vindiclivcncM, covertly aided and abetted by envious schemers for purposes of their own. Mr. Blaine is the granite rock against which the angry waves of unrepentent' rebel's hate. North, South, Fast, and West, have remorselessly beaten only to be hurled back into the seething waste surrounding him, ant! his prominence acquired during the past winter as the active and wary leader of the mi nority ; his success in staying the flood tide of democratic wrath which has been all the teesUn struggling for the mastery of the House; his signal abil ity as demonstrated in battling and exposing their machinations ngninst the liberty and freedom as guaranteed by the amended constitution of tho reconstructed Union, havo in an espec ial manner invited their envenomed attacks during the present session. Mr. Bristow is another target whereon has been concentrated tho poison arrows of their Ku-Klux ar chers but his coat of mail was uot vul nerable and tlir cnissils have fuller, harmlessly at hu feet. It was posi tively stated by Ueir organs at the time of Belknap's exposure that the committee investigationg Secretary Robeson had sufiicivnt evidence in its possession to show him up a very mon ster of iniquity bbside whom Belknap was an angel of the third heaven estate. This nauseous dose of their own mixing they Were obliged to swollow Ex-Minister Schenck was tho embodiment of every thing fraudulent "a man of low tastes," "a poker playing ruffian." Their investigation revealed the character of the witness, chiefly relied upon to make good the charges, in a very unenviable light. It was frequently stated by witnesses on the staud that thev would not believe him on oath that he was a very Munchausen. The zealous idiot who betrayed their party press into a pre mature expression of ecstatic delight over the information that tho President bad been couvicled of an infamous crime on tho testimony of ex-Attoruey General Williams is now painfully cogitating on the perils involved in running before he was sent ; and the democratic organs that raised such a howl of exultation over the informa tion, are uow engaged in trying to explain away the revalation of dem ocratic rutuanisra and frauds in New York City as set forth by Mr. Daven port. When that gentleman first went on the stand they magnanimous ly assured him he would be allowed to tell his story in his own way, sup- Eosing they would easily trip him. iut they soon learned to their dismay that he was a dangerous witness, that he had in his possession facts, which ifbronghtto light would inivitably prove fatal to their party. Now they insist on categorical answers nothing more. It is only another illustration of democratic duplicity and evasion to save the party from the conse quences of the storm of indignation and detestation that a knowledge of Its iniquities, murders, cool blooded butchieres, and mid-night assassina tions would provoke. There is nothing of speciul moment o'lier than that already given with regard to either the House or Senate. A dead lock on the appro priation bills appear almost inevit able. Judge Cartter has not yet ren dered his decision in the Ivilbourn habeas corpus case and it is awaited with very general iuterest. Dr. Nich ols has not yet made his defense be fore the committee investigating the a Hairs of the Iusane Asylum. But it docs not appear possible for bim to explain away the many evidence of his grossly incompetent and heartless nianagemect of that institution. There are no new developements in the Babcock case. His bail was fixed at $10,000 which was furnished by ex Governor Shepherd. Maxwell. SHERIFF'S SALE.
