EDITORIAL LETTER.
Wasmxo'rox, March 19th, 1876.:
Dan: (lrznrrs; tlastuwe have had a
sensation celipsing 1 schemes and results of
I '(‘ongressitmal irwe‘s‘tigation-the New Hamp-
shire election: ‘ The result of that contest
was as great a surprise, in its extent. of victo-
ry, to our Republican friends as to our Dem-
oer-atic adversaries. Nobody expected it.
The. most sanguine and hopeful did not con-
template more than a close. triumph. When
the telegraph informed us that both Houses
of the ~l.egis1ature were ours and the State
ticket elected by nearly thirty-jive Inmdréd
majority, enthusiastic Republicans queried-
what. could have so roused the honestych
ruanry of the Granite State, and demoralized
Democrats raved and swore that Ben Hill's
cursed lack of discretion was what did it. A
knot of doleful ex-Confeds was discussing
and cussing the returns, the morning after the
election, in the 1"‘t11‘ of the seats on their side
' of the llous‘c, when one remarked, “Well,
past. half century.
we’d better just shut up this mill, and go
home, for if we run it. on as we have done
there wont be enough left of the party to
tunninate a candidate, by midsummer." ,
l‘afiing the desk 01' our ever-genial Senatoi'
Eaton, the same morning, we awakened his
interest by asking the current conundrunr,,a§
to whether he had heard from New Harnxi,
shire. His reply was instant and character’-
istic, “Well, I’ll_ swear, if we should detect
Grant in some disgraceful rascality I believe
you’d carry Connecticut." We assured th *
Senator that one more investigation in the
Belknap style would undoubtedly give us the:
State. In a more serious mood, he admitted
that. the want of sense displayed, and the an;
rebuked exhibitions of a disloyal sentiment
on the part of Democrats in Congress, had no
doubt alarmed the people of the North, and
the New Hampshire election was its natura
fruits. . g I t
The greatest possible interest is now felt iii
the coming contest in Connecticut. Our op
laments will redouble‘their efforts and doubl‘?l
their “contributions," hoping to measurably
regain their lost prestige in New Hampshire,=
But. their frantic efforts will be futile, if only
our Republican friends wake up to a full ups;
pr:ciation of their grand opportunity. They,"
hope to keep Ben Hill still. But Ben -Hill is
an honest and Outspoken Democrat and will
not be gagged! He is no hypocrite and will
deal in no duplicity, even to [save Connectii
cut to lrisg'party. He believes in all the logic
of Democratic State rights teachings for the‘
He will not admit that
Rebellion \vas a crime. He believes, more-
over, that the Southern gentleman—if he be
a democrat—was borri to rule, and sees no in-
congruity in removing the maimed soldiers of
the. l'nion army to give place to_ Confeder-
ates. Such Democrats as came here for
House positions, from the North and from
Connecticut, know by their own person-
al experience that a Northern Union
Democrat stood no such show in procuring a
place as did an ex.rebel. From clerks to
sweepers, with few exceptions, the South has
the subordinate places. Of course the same.
is necessarily 'true of the clerks to Commit-
tees, for all New England has note single
Chair/724172.01 27p accorded to it by Speaker Kerr,
while North Carolina and“ other Southern
States has ruore than one.
All De'firocrats even, are not fools. Longz
suffering and patient they may be, but there;
is a limit to their endurance. New Hamp-‘
shire has just proved it. Unless the Demo-
crats of Connecticut are not the dumbest sortj
of dumb dogs, they will resent the insult put
upon their own Representative Barnum,who,
now on lristenth year of service in the House,
éafterhaving been pledgcda Chairmanship,
was at the last moment thrust aside to give
to Missouri ,herfifth Chairmanship. Speaker
Kerr‘s rnak-up of his Committees was enough,
to totally annihilate any party north of Illa--
son & Dixon’s line. ' '
The investigators are still at work, but not
with their tails as high in air as formerly.
It has been proven by the testimony of Gen,
Boynton that. Marsh had quite as substantial
evidence against “Gentleman George H. Pen-
dleton” as against his friend and old college-
mate Belknap, and that by Mrs. Marsh he
could have proven Pendletou’s complicity
with Airs. Belknap while she was the widow.
Bowers. It is true Peudletonhas cautiously,
sworn he never paid a dollar toany relative of _
the “'ar Secretary. Mrs. Bowers was at that.
time a sister of a deceased wife of ‘Mr. Belk‘
.nap’s and not technically his relative. But-
then leading Democrats of ‘ the House do be-
lieve that he paid, Mrs. Bowers, the aifianeed
of the Secretary, $25,000 for her influence in
getting the'Kcntucky Central Railroad claim
passed through the War Department. And
among the Democrats who are reputed to
so believcis the nth. Hilariter Clymer, who
let Mrs. Marsh, the only" witness by, whom
the facts can be proved, escape with her hus-
band to Canada. . ' ‘ ’
Attorney-Gen. Pierrepont- is endeavoring
to induce Marsh’s return, and it is to 'be
hoped he may be accompanied by his good
lady, and this latest scandal and mystery thus
cleared up. It is a significant and suggest-
ive fact that turn up a peculating Republican
wherever you will, you find from one to a'
score or more Democratic scamps behind him.
The House is now varying its bad financial
schemes by a scientific examination of its de-
fective ventilation and foul air. It is singular
so small a Democratic majority should make
the breathing of the present House so deadly.
Congressman Hays, a Republican Congress-
malr, but a native Alabamian, is caught in a
very disgraceful cadet appointment transac-
tion, but up jumps at Washington Democratic
broker who‘ swears he lied to and fooled
liayes, and pocketed all the swag. The last
part of his testimony is generally credited.
The Connecticut electors, resident here,
convened last Friday evening and formed a
Republican club. About fifty will cast their
votes at home the coming election.
Hallet Kilbourn has been committed to jail
because he won‘t exhibit expose thé pri-
vate papers and affairs of his business. The
Democrats have a suspicion that the Presi-
dent was .. interested in the real estate pool,
and to satisfy that curiosity have imprisoned
a man who shields himself behind an express
provision of the Constitution. He refused
and went to jail on' .the advice of that old
Democratic war-horse but clear-ltcaded-law-
yer, ex-Judgc Black. Mr. Alexander Ste-
phens. (let-lured in the case of Irwin that the
House had exhausted its power, and was
bound, by a law enacted by itself to provide
for a similar case. to turn it over to the courts
for trial. Mr. Stephens, who was in (lon-
gress when the law was passed, insisted that
its purpose was to supersede peremptory pro-
cecdings for contempt and to provide for
their punishment by a judicial process. Mr.
Stephens said : “Mr. Speaker it is your duty
under that act to certify this case to the Dis-
trict Attorney that the grand jury may intRct
him, and that be may have a. regular lrial like
all other persons accused of crime. We have
magmas power to, plinish in the way pro-
posed. . We are as much bound by law as
other people. ‘ ‘

The services have been continued at 4:45'
“p. m. and in the evening. Rev..Mr. 3013
brook continued his labors during the first
. of the week, preaching his farewell on Wed-
nesday evening to a very large congregation.
At the close of the service sixty-nine came
forward either as inquirers, or to give testi-
mony of new born souls. One said, “My life
is dearer, my family is dearer, because
Christ is my all ;' another, I know that I am;
saved from sin ;. another, I can testify that
I have had more comforts and true pleasure
in the lusty two weeks, than in. all my life

cortinues his faithful labors with the Pastor,
Rev. Mr. Simonson. Services have been
continued every evening, attended by large
and in some instances by crowded audiences.
The Pastor and his people, with the new con-.
verts, are doing richly in striving to bring
othersuuder the sound of, the gospel, and
succeed in inducing many, very many of the
adult-population to come .and...listen to h. the
call of God to repent, a call to which so
many have, given heed and are now rejoicing.
On every occasion Iwh'eu the . invitation I has
been given, for all who desired to seek Christ,
to kneel at the altar, many have found this
firét step to be salvation to them, for they
then came to Christ. The . Sabbath evening

,gati‘on. , . 4 , .
Afternoon and evening services have. been

able party was given-by Mr. W. L. Burr at
the msitfluce of Charles Scribner, Esq, on
Saugatuck Hill. Notwithstanding the, snow
‘storm‘ guests began to arrive about 8% o’clock
from neighboring towns, also a number from
New York. Good music was in attendance
and dancing was the order of the evening,
until supper was announced. A bountiful”

tion of it. As far as the town is concerned
of cbursej it is a very thip affair, consisting of.
some half a dozen houses imd “ clearings" in
the vicinity, together- with a few stores, and
the stereotyped “gin mills,” as usual. It is
the “county town”. of the county, and the
court house is here, with‘a jail and other pub;
lic buildings, You ought 'to see thenr.‘ They
are so vei‘y“"public" that you can comforta—
bly enjoy all that is going on upon the inside
through the cracks in the boards without tak-
ing the trdublc of entering the building.
The jail is about the size of a smoke house,
and.prisouers are stored away upon the inside
by ascendinga pair of stairs that runnp to
the second story on one end of the building,
and going down a ladder intt‘he depths be-
low, where they are left alone in their glory—
the ladder being pulled up and stored away
where no one but the “authorities" can get to
it. It would hold a northern burglar just
about as long as they were getting him into
it. They have a Mellrodistehirreh here, the-
church edifice being about the style and shape
of Charley Lockwood’s Fish Market. The
building is used during the week as a School
house. The dwelling. houses are constructed
principally :of pine logs,‘though an. occasion-
al pine board housefcarefullv and skillfully
whitewashed upon the outside, at least, may
be seen upon the outskirts. These belong to
the farmers who are the most thrifty of the
inhabitants. -There=are but very few negroes
here compared with other localities. ,
_ They have a ‘-‘ turpentine still” here of
considerable dimensions, which manufactures
quantities of f‘goodi'iiitheirline," and ship
them -_to the northern markets. ' I have been
quite interested in their. manufacture, and
consider it a‘ curiosity worth looking at. . The
pine trees for miles arouudthe camp are cut
into in'a peculiar manner, hacked and scari-
fied for a distance of two or three feet up
and down the- tree, with a little cup or basin
scooped out at thc'bottom to catch the juice
or pitclr- as it runs out upon. the surface. It
is surprising tosec; the quantity of raw ma-
terial a. single tree var produce, when treated
in.this way, without injuring it. The juice
obtained in this way is gathered by men with
paddles and scrapers, and put into barrels and
‘f carried in,” where by a simple process of
distillation, in a .mysterious'and monstrous
tyat provided for the purpose, it is transform-
;ed into spirits. of turpentine and uresiu—the
,latter being the refuse left in the vat after the
‘tlisfillationhas endedyéit. being drawn off into
barrels while in a liquid state and marked
according to quality. . Some of it is as white
and clear as window glass, and other samples
as brown as New ,Orleans molasses. The
lighter grades bring the largest prices, and
require cleanliness and skill in their manufac-
ture. Thereis also a steam saw mill of. large
capacity here, whiclL.turns-.‘.out lumber and
shingles at wholesale. The best lumber brings
only from. $10 to $12 per thousand, and a
good quality. can be bought at from $7 to $8.
The soil hereabouts is better than is gener-
ally the. rule in this portion of the state of
Florida. , It is sandy; to be sure, but- then -it
is a difierent-ldndlof sand; and-has the advan--
tage of being coated over to the depth of
three or four inches With a. genuine dirt,
which altersthe dppeamnce and condition of
things considerably. ... It" looks more like
home, more like living, with the “green grass
growing all” around,”"’and “ garden sea" and
early vegetables in profusion. Corn is up 'in
favorable places to the height of several
inches; new Irish‘potat'oes are dug the size of
hen’s eggs; tomatoe plants are up and about
ready to blossom, and strawberries are ripe
and ready for eating. Lettuce, beets, peas

markets. In fact this is the greatest trouble,
they send=everything out of town as soon as
it is ready to eat, and we don’t get half we
want of tirem. Roses and other flowers are
blossoming in profusion in the dooryards. We
are awakened 'every'inbruing“ by‘ the ' singing

with its searching winds and changeable
weather. The thermometer averages about
70° day and night, the middle of the day
of course being rather warmer, though not'as
yet exceeding 80¢. {Evenings are‘ wonder-
fully free from any chill or dampness, but
we do not allow ourselves to go out much af—
ter sunset. There is not that twilight here
that is mph an enjoyable part of the day in .
the northern states. Tire sun no sooner _dis-
appears behind' the tree tops (there are no
hills) than it is dark.=before . you are hardly
aware of it. Hay and oats and wheat are
not raised in this section of the state, the
farmerssaying that “ they do_uot do well."

but them-ops are neither large nor of a very
superior quality. A ‘_'"big thing" is usually

tities being started north as early as first. or
middflof May. ' Stock raising is entered
into to some extent, and the woods- or
“ ranges” are full, of wild. cattle and hogs,
each bearing the mark of its owner. The
cattle are terribly midway-looking creatures
—as thin as boarding house soup—very much
under size, and at-home would hardlybe con—
sidered worth their keeping. The hogs! Oh
horrorst—a grave stone edged 'up on stilts
with a plowshare for a head and a broken
corkscrew for a caudal extremity, woul at

before the vehicle, and in this saddle, with

There is no place in the world where fanning

seems to be here. 12min :soil is very light and
but little actual labor ‘fs required to till it.
The usual method of plauting, after. the land
has been prepared, is to,do it with the toe-and
heel, that is for the ordinary crops, corn, mel-
ons, garden vegetables, etc. The farmer
walks-along over his field, Scratches a little
hole in the ground with his toes, drops in his
seed, covers it up, pats'it down with his heel
and passes along-to the nerit, and so lmtil the
“ planting? is done with. It requres very
little attention after this, and if the season is
favorable and too much dry weather dpes not
ensue, it is astonishing what crops result from
it. It wont do to dig around in the soil too
deep, they say, for then you mix the sand
with the soil and spoil the land very quickly.
Oranges do well here, though there are no
groves in this immediate vicinity. Peach
trees also prosper, the fruit being. ready for

“’0 are boardingwith a doctor here, a man
of considerable character and understanding,
and one’of the representative men of the
place. Tire doctor owns some 2,500 acres of
land, tills fifty of it, takes boarders to accotn
modate (there is no hotel) and practices med-
cine for a. living.‘ He owns a liittle drug
store (and such a drug store) which he uses
for an office, and seems to be in easy circum-
stances for this’ part1 of the country. His
residence is a pine board afiair, unpainted in-
side and out, and devoted principally to ve-
randas and porches, as all southern houses of
any pretensions. It is two stories high, nice-
ly shaded by trees and shrubbcry, and looks
as though it might be cool and' comfortable,
even in midsummer. There is certainly ven-
tilation enough if that is all that is necessary.
In the sitting room, the principal room in
the house, he has an immense open fireplace,
where, when the weather is cool, a pine knot
fire is built, which really makes it look home
like and cheerful. Evenings are spent with
the family circle about this patriarchal hearth-
stone, smoking, telling stories, etc. The di-
ning room is on the back porch, open and
exposed on three sides to the weather, find
the kitchen is some fifty feet in‘the rear of
the house, connected by a broad walk run-
ning through a little alley way. Access to
the rooms in the second story is had only by
a staircase running up on the outside of the
buildings Our room is’ in .the back part of
the dector's ,‘ofiice (they are all full at the

For a carpet we have old meal sacks cut open
and spread down upon .the floor; and for a
bed, a 3 mattrass filled with Spanish moss,
which curls up into knots as hard 'as'waterl,
melons. Our light is “the light of other
days"—a tallow candle stuck in an old irdn
candle-stick. It is rather nobby to be sure.
but as a luminary very much of a failure. I_
wont say anything of cracks and knot holes ;'
it wouldvbe a waste ' of paper. I willpllowi

have mice, rats, mosquitoes, sand flies, fleas
and bed bugs. Up in the crotch of the roof?
over our bed is a wasps’ nest, as big as a sidei
of bacon, but as the wasps scent inclined toi
letvus alone we are very particular not to dis-'
turb them. ‘ ‘ '
We have killed «two lizzards in our room,€
each about four inches in length, and ugly:
enough and‘saucy enough to be some near kin:
to an alligator. The office sits up from then
ground on four posts, about four feet in-
length, like a. corn c'rih, with neither slats nor,i
underpinning to fill up the space from the?
ground to the base cf the building. A117
houses are built here in that way to allow of%
“free circulation.” The consequence is the;
hogs, which run wild in the streets in every?
direction, rarely fail to get directly under-
neath our very bed at night, (a habit which .
they have of creeping under some place for
protection) and grunt and squeahrnd scratch
‘off flees,in a manner that is ,more poetic than
pleasing. You can imagine, therefore, the
difiiculties that beset us when we retire at
night for the purpose of sleeping. . Wasps,
lizzards, rats, mice. gnate, sand flies and mos
quitoes outside the bed to amuse us; fleas
and bed bugs inside to devour us, and hogs
and the mischief knows what, are underneath ‘
to carry out the programme and render our
bed a bed of thorns instead of roses, as
we had anticipated. These are some of the
diseomforts of Florida, but we meet discom-
forts in search of pleasure, always. Every-
body liVes in this way here, and so, of course,
it is not impossible to become accustomed to
it.

UNION SUNDAY-SCHOOL.
A GOOD ,FOUBDATION.
Glen Rose, county seat ,of 'Sotnerville
County, Texas, had a population of 200 clev-
er people, and many of them good working
christians; but they had'no church organiza-
tion, and no preaching, éxcept very rarely,
because, being of various religious opinions
they were unable to agree in religious work,
as they did in secular public enterprises,
having relation to the prosperity of their town-
and county; and so in morals and religion
they were behind.
A missionary of the American Sunday-
school Union visitedthem and organized a
Union ._Sunday-schcol. In this they could
unite, and they entered into it with commen-
dable zeal ; and they express the hope that
its formation among them, may prove a
foundation of other good institutions,‘and so
be a means of great usefulness.
The union Sunday-school is a nucleus
around which all the christianin there is in
a new settlement may crystallize. It isa
