. FLORIDA. Letter from the Capital of B the State. Effect of the Decision of the Flori. da Case, A Feeling of Bafety Exhibited by the Colored People. Congressman Purman’s Record’ at His Home. e Was Always Regarded as » Treach- erous Fellow. Special Correspondence of The Teibune. Tarranassee, Fia., Feb. 19.—The effect of the decision of the Electoral Commission on the Florida case was, to usc & common expres- sion, a *‘deadener?* on the Democrats here. ‘Soon after the dispatch was recelved some face- tious person entered the Assembly-Hall while that body was In sessfon and quletly announced that the Commission had. given Florida to Tilden. At sdjournment wes specdily taken, and the worthy Democratic mejority sallled forth with beaming countenances. Thelr happy tlioughts were dashed apon learning the truth of tho message, and they softly glided back to their varfous boarding-houses, and few wore seen again daring the day. TR NBPUBLICANS WRRE JUBILANT, and gathered in knots on the street to felicitate eath other on the good news. Colored people were fn ospecially bright spirit, in strange con- {rast to thelr morose and downcast expression sinca the foauguration of Drew. They bought the Sentinel, which contalned the intcillgence, freely, and, long cre the shades of Satur- day night sottled over tho ' city, every colored person for miles around had heard the news, and firmly believed that justice was agsin to prevatl, and that the time had not coma for the fron heel of Democratic statutes to trample them {nto a more abject alavery than that from which they had been emancipated. T have no doubt Lut some Democrats in Florjda honestly belleve this Stato went for Tilden: Lut they are few in number, Thelr oplofon, however, (s duly respected. Most of tho asscrtlons from this slde are made by those who know better. They TALK ABOUT REPUBLICAN PRAUDS o Alachun and Baker Countles, when a Com- mittee of thelr own, Investigating the Hon. L, G. Dennls, memberof Asrembly from Alachua, on this very charge, completely vindleated him; and when the Baker County returns wera finally counted under order of, and as dlrected by, the Supremo Court. Democrats, however, will not talk about fraudscommitted by their own party, low they stola Republican ballots in Jackaon County, and ndded several hundred fraudulent yotes to the Democrutic canvasses fn Holmes and Jackson Countles, by importiog Georglans ayd Alabamitans for the purpose, But to return to the decislon of the Com- misslon. It will have conslderablo RPFECT ON TIE LEGISLATION of this winter. Those effects havo already been made apparent. A bill under the saintly cloak of “An act to protect laborers,” but tho teuo {ntent of which might better be defined aa au act making It a misdemesnor for one colored voter to ask another how he is going to vote, has been killed In the Benate stnee the declalon, Auother bill, which makes the sclling of cotton at other times than between the hours of sun- riso and sunsct & misdemepnor, and also & bilt moking a larceny to tho Value of 10 cents o felony, will probably moct the sume fate, Btill another bill, which makes tho Bonrds of County Commlsaioners n Board of Registration for the connty, with power to crasc namos up to within a few days of the clectlon, and If an elector’s name {s omitted br erascd he must produce at tha polls thrce witnesses who will swear to thelr | own knowledge that tho applicant is qualified fu every respect, sud tho witnessca must bo satfs- factory to the inspectors! All these measurcs are dircctly alned agalost tho colored vote. A dozenother blllsmorvscveroin thisrespect,which have been prepared, will not be Introduced at all, unless more favorable intellivenco comes from Washington: andof this even the Dem- ocrats licre express Jittle hope, : A LARCENOUS TRAITOM.

It would seem from the conditlon of some of the tribes of Australia that man's first attempt at soclal organfzation was based on sex.
