A recent dispatch from Washing ton to the Philadelphia Press. runs as follows A large number of rice planters arrived here to-day from South Carolina and Georgia to help defeat the Morrison Tariff bill. They will urge upon the Rep resentatives of those States to vote against the consideration of the bill, being loud in their protests against any reduction of tariff rates. They say that the passage of the Morrison bill would ruin their business, and threaten that if the Morrison bill is not defeated that they will go over to the Republi can party, no matter what may be the effect, socially or otherwise, of such action. It is a matter of bus iness with them and not of sen timent, and they will not, they say, any longer support a party that will adopt measares detrimental to their interests. This may not be strictly true; but, it cannot be denied that some important southern industries are afraid of the Morrison tariff bill. The democratic rice planters and sugar producers of the South, as well as the republican iron men of Pennsylvania, want protection; and they will battle against anything that savors of free-trade or a radi cal reduction of protective duties. We do not sympathize with these protectionists and friends of pro tection, for we do not think that local and private industries should be supported at the expense of the public. We are in favor of a ta riff that will bring into the public treasury just enough money to pay the expenses of the government; but not one farthing more. It is unjust to put high duties and, con seqMently. high prices upon the necessaries of life, in order to pro. tect individual enterprises; and we should be glad to see the infamy of protection blotted from our Stat utes and swept out of existence. In spite of all this, it seems to us very foolish to make tariff re form the leading issue in the com ing presidential canvass. We do not believe it possible for the D)em oeratic party to succeed on any leading issue on which it is not p)ractically a unit. On this issue, Southern congressmen disagree with Southern congressmen, and Southerni industries with Southern industries. The same state of things exists at the North. How then can we hope to win a presi dential election, on the tariff issue? We have failed when we were united, anid we might fail now on any other issue; but is success possitle when we are fighting in our own raniks? FiHE NEGRO. We are satisfied that crime is not increasing in our county, and we hope that it is not increatsing in the State. The fact that the num b2r of convictions at our spring term of court in 1884 exceeds the number in 188.3, does not, we think, prove that crime is increasing. Nor does the fact that the majority of the convicts are "educated" ne groes, that is, able to write their names, prove that education will not make the negro a better citi zen. Most of the young negroes can sign thei r names, but we have never yet heard it insisted that the ability to read and write should cure all defects of character. We have not tried sufficiently to as certain whether education will make the negro a better citizen. We are told that he does not im prove his advantages; by-this we suppose it is meant that he has not come tip to expectations. But his tory proves that we must not expect too much of the first, or even the second generation of freedmen. History also proves that no race ever improved more in a given space of time than the ne groes of the South. Those who are disappointed that the negro has not ascended to the moral and intellectual level of the white man, and who are astonished that most of the convicts of the State are negroes, should remember that the advantages of the negroes do not extend over a period of twenty years. Prior to 1870, his school facilities were meagre and he lived was immoral and debasing in all its tendencie-. The political training of the negro has been bad and his scho .l teachers, are, even now inefficient. We know that the negro might do better, and we hope he will; but we must admit that he has done remarkably well, considering his surroundings. Six, at least, of the thirteen negroes convicted at our last term of court, could not write their names; we do not know whether the 6thers could-but this little learning should not be ex pected to work miracles. Mrs. Chapin came to Newberry last Friday and spent three days in our town, during which she de livered three lectures on the subject of temperance. Her lectures were excellent in themselves and admir able in their influence. Seldom have we seen the people of a town so thoroughly aroused on any sub. ject in so short a time. Women and men are talking temperance, and we are confident that the efforts that are now makiag, will bear fruit. God grant that we may soonl have prohibitory laws. We are told that prohibition is not good philosophy; but facts are better than philosophy. The world has tried philosophy nearly two centu ries, but good people are sick of it. It may be good philosophy to teach your children to shn a ra bid dog; as a fact it is both wiser and safer to kill the dog as speedi ly as possible. The whiskey traf fic is the dog. Fon TuE HERALD. ANOTHER FLORIDA LETTER. A New Town-A luge Uennery-lospita bie People-Large orange Groves Worth $50.000-Emerald Isle Church-Col. Sligh's Large Hotel-The Ladies One Man Washing Clothes Few Snakes-Half Dozen Musquito Bites, &c. On Steamer "City of Palatka," April 3d, 1884. EDITOR HERALD : Only a few minutes ride from Leesburg and we arrive at Lady Lake, and were met at the cars by our genial friend, Mr. Samuel Teague, and are soon seated in his land Agent's Office. Lady Lake is a new town of some two months growth, and from the stores now built, the new lumber seen, the ring of carpenter's ham mers, the buzz of two new saw mills, the vast number of lots sold, together with the vim of the -origi nal owners, will soon make a town of considerable size. Friend Samuel Treague proposes to take us out to Col. S. P. Sligh's, as he seems to know the wants of Newberry people, and he furnishes a turnout of the very best, and on we go, viewing the many fine lake fronts, soon to be filled by fine res idences. We arrive at Sligh's P, 0. kept by Mr. Kiiiny, and here we are shown a beautiful grove and nursery of 2 year's growth, showing what an energetic man can do, this~ -gentleman escorted us to his poul try yard, where I saw 800 fowls; how I wished for the editor, as some of the chicks were large enough to make a square meal, one hen car ried as many as 150 chicks. After leaving this beautiful place we next arrived at Mrs. Melvin Sligh's, and there met Mrs. Myrant, of S. C. Next we saw Mr. Sam'l Teague's fine grove in the most flourishing condition, having a beautiful lake front ; on we passed to the home of Col. S. P. Sligh's, who is a brother of Rev. J. A. Sligh, of Newberry, and are met by our friend, who was suffering from Neuralgia, but withal entertained us with the hos pitality of a true Floridian. Mrs. Sligh soon greeted us with merry words, and made us feel quite at home. Here we met Prof. C. C. Peck and his kind lady, who will soon complete their house near by and begin the culture of the orange. Col. Sligh has the largest grove seen in Florida, some 15 acres graded ycunger, just think of 27 acres in oranges, when tihe fruit often brings in a return of $10 to $50 a tree, then tell me there is a profit in raising cotton ? if so then how much greater and pleasanter in oranges. Col. Sligh's mansion is in proportion to his grove, in fact the largest and best painted house we have seen in Florida, some of the Palatka hotels excepted. Col. Sligh has refused filty thousand dollars for his grove; he has some 4.000 acres land besides his grove, and being from our county originally can offer rare inducements to New berrians who may cast their lot in Florida. The hour for retiring ar rived, we enjoy a good night's sleep, and Sunday dawns here as in Carolina. After a sumptuous break fast, prepared by the madam as the very wealthiest ladies do their own cooking, we sat in an arm chair, in the parlor and listened to some ex cellent sacred music by little Mol lie and brother, apparently 6 to 8 years old, these children are gen iuses and possess a rare musical talent. As no preaching is near, being the 5th Sabbath, Mr. Jeff Sligh proposed we go to church at Emerald Isle. and soon we were at his large wharf in front of his house, and of his many boats se lected one, and soon we were on Lake Griffin, Capt. Jeff at the oars. After a leasant ride of some 3 miles we landed on the Isles, a fer tile hammock fitted with beautiful o ange groves and pretty residences and kind and hospitable people. We were soon in church, and beard W. S. Turner on "Faith," after ser- I vice we were made acquainted with the Parson, and invited by him to dine, which we did, and such a din ner we- have not seen in lo these many days, few wedding dinners equalled it. We met Mrs. and Miss Furner who entertained us with much grace. Qaptain Jeff announcing he would soon sail, we b.de adieu to these kind new made. friends, and glided safely over the lake and arrived in due time at Col. Sligh's. Next morning we had to bid these friends good-bye, as we could not stay longer, though they insisted that we should remain with thiem a week, but our little widow in New berry calls us home and soon we arrived at Lady Lake, and were met by our good friend as usual Sainue Teague, and shown around the town, noticing especially the large hotel of Col. S. P. Slighs, not yet completed, which is up on an elevation, near the depct, will be finished soon, and fitted ip in mo dern style. Beautiful orange trees will extend over the long piazzas and its yellow fruits and flowers in endless varieties will lend a charm to be deck the beautiful walks ! large arm chairs, and all con veniencies will add to the many com forts of Hotel de Sligh. Friend Teague and mnysel f stopped at the elegant Park Hotel kept by Mr. C. W. Jenkins., o you see La dy Lake is a town sure enough. I hear the train coming, so I had to tell him good bye, and soon I was viewing the beautiful scenery of Lake Weir, and here were shown the lands of 'Dr. James McIntosh, and Robt. Leavel, and told of other Newberrians who had land here. Soon I landed at Ocala, and found the prow old city being rebuilt, as she was almost consumed by fire during 1883, spending awhile here I started for Palatka arriving in safe ty. Now I have said but little of the ladies, but I can no longer refrain mentioning that Florida is noted for its beautiful women, and what beautiful silks and charming cos tunes we see in all directions, and such sweet music, as greets our ears, almost makes us think that with this balmy atmosphere we might stay almost forever, and never tire of mild Florida. Now for the lands, they are all kinds and for any price one wishes, from 10 cents an acre to $125, for unim proved lands and 10 miles from rail roads near the stations they are from $15 to $100 per acre unim proved; groves, &c., sell for $1,000 and upwards per acre, few or none to be had as parties prefer to hold rather tban to sell. Labor $1,25 per day to $3.50, but few get less than $1 per day. Flori da is certainly the place for the hard working man who can in a few years be-au independ.;at man. We now liave beans, in fact they begin to be most plentiful, also Irish p)otatoes, squashes, peas, cu cumubers and watermelons, all these can be grown to p)erfection here before many plant them in New berry. T1he objection to Florida is the ladies have to work hard, and the mcen do not hellp them as much as they should, why I have seen on ly one man wash clothes for the family as yet, and the way lhe did handle the battening stick was fun for a dozen to look at; he acted as if he was killing a snake, no dloubt he was a kind hearted man, to perform this duty. I have seens but 5 snakes in all my rambles on the rivers and lakes, and have not been bit ten by half dozen mosquitoes as yet.' As some new rail roads are now surveyed and will be built in a short time a fortune can soon be mrade by purchasing these $125 lands, as they will soon be worth $10 p)er acre and upward. Possj bly somie or many of your readers may tire reading a long letter and I reluctantly halt. As we leave the wharf, the string band strike up '-home sweet home," and by the time your readers peruse this letter we will be at our own little home. As ever, NEwBER1RIAN. Kineaid, Noxubec County, Miss., April 9'th, 1881. DF.A R HER.ALD.-Since I wro:e be fore, Spring "with etheriali mildness'' has supplanited .sternu, vigorous wvinter elothing the bare, hard, crusty forests with tender verdure and the softest foliage aw akened the feathered song eters which make the "pathless a oods" and( the sunny air vocal with their glee fulinotes, and the ploughman with his plodding oxen stirs the fertile glebe giv ing to the landscape the cheerful asp)ect which the turning of the.soil in prep arat ion for planting in Spring always imparts after Winter's stern reign. The green turf is bespangled with flowers of every hue and the grand forests in the low lands of the Noxu bec river wvhose bottonms or swamps extend fromt thrte to five miles on both sides nowv begin to look like lof ty pillared tetinples with their "dimn re ligious light.," andinm the autumn this is more espeially the case with the gor geous colorings and varied hues of the 1-11.$e. Trh woods on this river are though:t by some to compare ot uni favorabl'r with the tree- of? Califoria ini some, ias which the writer has not vet s-:en. Yelluw creek which lws thro.igh this laniitationi and is in view of the nouse is the~ most sinuous, tortuous si re:am. and with its nunmerous bends is constantly forming the let ter S, with a scries of peninsui.irs and promoteries on iits deep high bauks. it is certai:ily miiie.died as the waters inre a c-r pale blue or green, xep infrsht when it is a p::le yellow. The bamnks are covered with a thick growth of cae a0 this place which is invaluable as a pasture. In other places. there are immense forests ams on the Noxtubee river. O;me iuile above this plaice there are high sloping bluils which form wide amiphitheatres in which the n imlting streamn pursues its rippling courtSe amuoug the giant trees that in winter look weird and spectral, but in summter the foliage obstructs the view from the top of the bhuifs. The sport of hiunting the wvild turkey is now in full seasoni and the proprie tor of this place brought in a large obbler this morning. He-gets tip be Tore dawn to pmrsn4 this ann,-t nnr 'rotm "early morn till dewey eve- with iis practised wiles and cruel strategy he wary bird is victimized in spite > all its extreme caution and shyness, rotia being hunted so much about here. A few days ago he brought in a fine >lump hen whose extreme wariness iad foiled him for some days. le hadi >aited a certain spot with corn, and vatched for his game which approaoh d once when he was off his guard and -etired upon seeing him. He made a lind the next day behind which he )laced hii.;elf with his gu on a rest ud though the turkey approached vith extreme warine;s ste at length ast away surpieion and fell to eat ng the c)rn and he shot her in the iead. A young hunter near here late v killed six turkeys in two shot- by aiting inthis way, three at each shot, xhil.4 the turkey were eating elose I :ogether. A brother-iin-law of the writer Capt. C. who lives ott hier Aee killetd six turkeys at once in this wav and wounded another, hut that w:is twenty-five years aao when he and :>ther~relatives first cane to this coni trv whon wild turkeys and deer as well a wolves and eataniounts were rather ahda.It.: One of the latter was killed by the owner of this pLie a few months ago,quilte unexpectedly to him 1-; well as the a.iunal, as his young pointer dog was chasing it in the eane brak" whilst he was hunting birds. Strange to s:y it was the first he ever saw in eh:.se though he had seen sev eral after they had been killed by Mthers. He thought it was a large wild -at and so (lid the writer but it was pronouneed to be a catamount by oth ers and the description of that animal in a book of Natural history hero cor responded with the appearanee of this mnimal. There is abundance of other "tine such as partridges, rabbits and squirrels which supply the table in de fault of poultry. The squirrels are mining out now again after hyberna ting or emigrating elsewhere, and they make a delicious stew when sea soned highly with red pepper, which was a suggestion of the writer. remen bering how an old colored woman on his father's plantation usei to prepare then for him in his boyhood days when he caugirt rabbits on Saturdays. His suggestion was adopted by the lady of the house and her cook and all the fam'iily now prefer them in that way to any other except perhaps ma king them into a pie with hard boil(-d eggs sliced into it. The severity of the .wi:ter following upon the long drought of last ;-muer which caused such a failure in the crops and con equently of forage for cattle caused great loss in cattle throughout this country everywhere. Every one lost more or less, some all, sonie half, tliers a fourth or less. On this place the owner and his colored tenants lost fully half. Capt. Calmes, whose large stock farm a.joins this. lost many but not as heavily as others in proportion to numbers. and the mor tality now is over with the Oleparture of fatal march. Yours &c., S. P. Mr. Guerry's Portrait of Enoch Pratt. The commis ion given to Mr. Albert Guerry some two months ago for a full-length portrait of Mr. Enoch Pratt, to be placod in the Enoch Pratt Free Library, has been completed, and the work has been on view for several days past in the stndio- of the artist, No. 6 Franklin street. Mr. Pratt is represented itanding in an easy attitude, with a grave attention on his face, as if listening to some thing of interest. Not only the features, but the impression of the countenance and the look of the eye have been exactly seized No draperiles- or other accessories draw off attention from the tigure itself. A background of soft, warm color, skillfully graduated, gives projectIon to the figure and gains the effect of air and space. The dress of black cloth, while really painted and not blurred over, is still kept subordinate to the face, on whicb the artist has lavished all his skiil. In these latter-days a sort of fashion has been sent by a'rtists of tbe lmaginative school which treats all subjects In a deco rative sty le, and which would seem t.o stg gest that their pi.ctures aim less at present Ing faithiful resemblances of the objects de pictedt than at producing pleasing hbaruonuies of color and gracetnl combInations of lines, while the perspective aind solidity that would detach them from the background Is care fully avoided and a general flatness assidu ously cultivated. How far this practice may be sound in imaginative paintIng is a ques tion for art critics to decide, but there is a; leaat oL.e branch of the art about which the lAity may be Judges, and that Is portrait painting. While in may be readily admitted that a mere likeness does not constitute a portrait, it can hardly be denied that the main oi'ject of a portraIt is to perpetuate the features and form of its subject; to tell pleasntly it it may be, but a; all events faithfully-to those that come after, 'Here, as far as brush and colors can go, is the man as lie lived and moved among us." if this be the true aim of the portraIt-painter, it is not of'.en that that aim is so succesafta' y attained as in this portranit of Mr. Pratt. -Baltimore Sun. Ameriean Newspapers In 1884. From the edition of Messrs. Geo. P. Rowvel &.Co's Anmeuican Newapaper Directory, now in press, it appears thtat the newspapers and ped odicais of nil kinds at presen t Issued in the United States and Canada reach a grand total of 13,402. This is a net gain of precise ly 1,600 during the last twelve months, and exhibits an increase of 5,018 over the total number pnblishedi just ten years siirec. The increase 'n 1874 over the total for 1878 was 493 During the past year the dai!ies have increased from 1,138 to 1 254; the weeklies from 9,062 to 10,028, and the monthlies from 1.091 to 1,499. Tlhe greatest increase is in the Wesera States. Iltinois. for instance, now ..hows 1.00'. papers in place of last year's total of 904, while Missouri issues 604 ins steadl of the 523 epored in 1883.
