They are ! in want of education, and ignorant of the I tilings that arc uoue agaiust tliciu by li hose'clected to take care of their interna.

Why are our colored people till ?o poor, walking about in rugs, livng in small cabins that scarcely cover hem from the rain, and unable to buy hemselves a home. Why is this? because of the enormous amount of noncy drawn out of them every year, low is it that there is such -a difference letwecn the stinic two men in one year, f von out. one of them in the Legislature mil leave one of them at home? The nan in the Legislature only gets bix lundred dollars, and more than half of his he has to pay for bourd and other sxpetise1, even if he is of sober, te petite habits. How, then, can he, doing tothinz else, afford to sport a gold watch ind chain, worth a couple ot hundred lollurs, a magnificent diamond ]>in, vorth ]>robably a thousand dollars, a fine infringe and a pair of horses, worth two bousand dollars, and, besides that, give ioe suppers and receptions, and band >ut any quantity of wine atid cigars? It nnkes no diffetcnco whether the man is ilack, white or yellow, qr whether he he )eniocrat or Republican, the question is, vliero docs the money come from, nnd tow does he get it? It comes from the icople, and he gets it out of the public reasury. Now, this thing cannot last Hie people cannot he deceived all the inie. year in and year out. Wo are not lie slaves of any set of men. Slavery is lead, anil it the people arc not able to K*e all these things, there are some of hem who are.

It is a noteworthy fact that numerous ndiausfrom the western reservations, rom tho CVoeks and other tribes, that \ did not originally belong to Florida, may be found there now, having been tempted to its luxuriant regions by their abundance and freedom from paletace molestation. During the stay of tb-: hunters upon the banks of Luke Kissimmo, nn old Indian chief with his daughter and Mm- , in-law took-tea with them. Tlie daughter is said to have bepu an Indian beauty, formed after nature's, best model and fashioned in perfect mold, according to the account of one of the party, who may regarded as good authority uprn the question of pretty women, while the son in law, the proud limband of this young and lovely princess, was a mo t magnificent specimen of Indian manhood. _ The execution of Wallace, the Arkansas desperado, on Friday last, was a fitting eud tS a.staitli ig career of crime. Although but 22 years of ago, Wallace had murdered no less than five persons in a comparative short period. lie began kir oki\Atimr a \foiiinku ilniiutiii)!* tviitiix] I>ickey without any provocation wba:evcr, and after this he shot a physician of Clarksville, named Ward. Shortly after the death of Ward Judge Mcers w. s shot and killed, and the circuuistanc 8 uudcuiably pointed Wallace out as the mudercr. He was convicted and sentenced to hanged, but after being in juil but a short tiuie he-managed to capture his guards, four in number, disarm them and make ready for an escape. A crowd assembled at the jail to prevent his escape, and in the struggle Wallace shot two men who stood in his way. The citizens having placed four kegs of powder under the jail informed Wallace of the fact, and of their determination to blow up the building if he did not at once surrender. This had the desired effect, and he was soon firmly secured. When at last he mounted the scaffold he expressed no fear of death whatever, and stated his confidence of being borne away to heaven by angels. If turned loose, he said, with a couple of good six-shooters he thought he could get away with a good many of his cnimics, but he said they were afaid to m? et him. They weie a pack of cowards, who had sworn away his life, became they were afraid of him. Wallace was related to one of the oldest and best farnilies in Johnson County. His father, prior to the war, was a member of the Legislature, and a prominent uu'thodist divine. 1*840." 1874' PADT--KILLEE. TJtF. Git I. AT Family Medicine of the Age.
