A BIO SPECULATION. The purchase some time ago by a Philadelphia company of four millions of acres of land in the State of Florida, at the rate of twenty-five cents an acre, was one of the largest land specula tions we have heard of for some time, and is panning out nicely for the par ties interested. They have since sold to ah English company two mil lions of acres for as much money as they paid for the whole tract and now have two millions left to operate on for profit. The programme of the English purchasers is to construct railroads through their territory and then estab lish colonies, and as they are men of large capital it is likely they will pur sue operations on a grand scale and make a handsome thing out of it. The Philadelphians in addition to these four million acres purchased have nego tiated for another vast territory large enough to make two or three fair sized states which they propose to drain and improve, giving the State one-fourth of the property improved. To carry out this scheme they propose to organize a stock company with $10 shares, and as an inducement to take stock they pre sent every one who subscribes for ten shares with a fee simple deed to forty acres of such land as he may select. They have gone into this in a business-like way, and are now sending their circulars containing their propo sitions and plan of operation broadcast over the country, and the probabilities are that thev will be as successful in working up this scheme as they were in the management of the first pur chase. They are business men, of un limited capital, and know what they are doing. With the money derived from sales of stock they propose to dig canals, build railroads and do such other work as will develop the property and fit it for agricultural purposes, to which much of it cannot now be de voted on account of inaccessibility and extent Of swamps But with the swamps drained, which it is said can be done at a comparatively trifling cost, they will have the most fertile lands in the world, on which may. be grown sugar, cotton, coffee, tobacco, tropical fruits, in fact almost anything which it is desirable to cultivate. We call attention to these specula tions to ask the question if private individuals could go into the State of Florida and discoder in these swamp lands such a field for profitable opera tion why could not the State of Florida have done something of the same sort herself? It is somewhat remarkable that she never made any effort to turn to account that vast region until a few " Northern capitalists came along, made an insignificant bid for it, which bid was accepted without much ado, and these few men became the purchasers of One of the most princely domains under the sun, and from which they will in time derive millions of wealth. It is true Florida will be benefitted thereby, too, and largely benefitted, for every acre redeemed and peopled, and every mile of water-way or railway which may be constructed will add to her sources of income and wealth. But for this she has, practically speak ing, given away a territory larger than two or three of our smaller States, sim ply because she did not know the value of the land she parted with or would not incur the expense of developing and utilizing it. In Louisiana, Mississippi, and other Southern States, and here in our own State, are .extensive tracts of land, known as swamp lands, which are ex ceedingly rich, but now valueless be cause a portion of the year subject to overflow, and yet many of these are so situated that they might be reclaimed and become magnificent farming sites. We hear of no single instance where the State in which these lands are situ ated is making an effort to reclaim them, each waiting probably till some shrewd capitalist comes along, offers a nominal price and has his bid accepted, then dig some ditches, opens up some water courses, and makes millions. This is business and shows shrewdness on the part of the men who go into it, but not much on the part of the States which pursue this short-sighted, give away policy. The States can and should develop all such property themselves ; if they cannot, then perhaps it is well enough to give it to some one who can, " but it is no credit to a State to confess that she can't do what a few level headed individuals can do, and it is still less creditable to her to never have tried it. I with its many predecessors to make up the history of the past. It is said that the future can only be measured by the nast. because we have no means of knowing what is ahead of us. With the exception of the unprecedented drought which fell to eur lot last summer, the country has been reasonably prosper ous, and the indications now are that with ordinary seasons in future we are approaching a period of extraordinary prosperity at the South. Commenting on this subject the Baltimore Sun says: "Everywhere and in all States'" of the Union is heard the hum of labor in furnaces, forges, mills, factories and workshops, with steady employment and good wages to" all who have the will to work, and with opportunities for saving to those who are frugal and thrifty. Never were our material pros pects more assuring than now. The country is being covered with a perfect network of railroads, and the millions to be expended on them must neces sarily carry with them a vivifying in fluence through all the multitudinous channels in which trade and labor flows. The opening up of the South, with its splendid visible and latent resources, is like the opening up of a new world. Its mountains and valleys and plains are now being linked together in bonds of iron and steel, while in the current year, and still more in tbe years to come, it is destined to receive steady accessions of population from without, until ultimately its material prosperity will compensate it in , manifold ways for the sufferings it has undergone and the losses it has sustained in the past." We are no longer interested in the past except as a matter of history, and where the events of that past serve to furnish guide boards to direct our course in future. In the South this means a great deal at this time. Catch ing the inspiration of the hour our course is to be marked by a system of political economy such as has not been seen in the past. The development of our country, long delayed, will soon be come an accomplished fact, and in the near future we hope to see our old State more than ever cut up into rail road tracks, our mines developed, our education advanced, our agriculture improved, our manufactories touched into new life, our commerce extended, and in fact a new life dawning upon and brightening up everything and everybody. But aside from these things there is a moral aspect that religiously belongs to the beginning of the new year. Each individual i3 a member of the body politic, and he must need3 first regulate his own conduct. "Every first of January that we ar rive at," wrote Chas. Lamb, "is an ima ginary milestone on the track of human life, at once a resting place for thought and meditation, and a starting point for fresh exertion in the performance of our journey. The man that does not propose to himself to be better this year than he was last, must be either very good or very bad indeed. Only to pro pose to be better is something ; if noth ing more than an acknowledgment of our need to be so, which is the first step toward amendment." Detective Dor H Every Stp Ready to Catch the Cranks, Washington Dispatch In the St Louis' Republican. The president and his private secre tary left for New Yrk on the morning train, accompanied, it is paid, but; with out General Arthur's kno wlege, by three detectives, who had been sent over from New York at the instance or friends oi the president, to guard him from the at tack of any crank. It is not generally known, but detectives have watched General Arthur to a greater or less ex tent ever since he was inaugurated as the president. On the day that he was driven to the senate to take the oath of office in the vice-president's room the two most skilful detective officers in Washington accompanied his coupe and guarded the door and approaches to it until he was safely lodged in the Gray House. It is known that the presence of the officers to the extent that General Arthur has known of it has not been pleasant to him,. They have been de tailed to accompany him at the instance of friends, some of whom have thought that at least until the Gniteau trial is ended it would be well to be prudent President Arthur, however, rides about Washington freely without attendance, and is known to have said that nothing that he could do or that any man can do can save a life from assassination. There is no reason to think, however, that there is anyone who wishes to do personal harm to President Arthur, and the presence of these detectives is due only to the officious zeal of certain friends. Galveston News: The census re turns show the necessity for more school houses and compulsory educa tion. The facts are developed that the illiterate class produces, on the average, thirty times as many paupers and ten times as many criminals, according to their number, as the class having a reasonable common school education. The only way to communicate these facts to the illiterate is through the school house. GDITE.AV HOLDS A BCCiPTiON. The telegraphic dispatches of last nigut inform us that Guiteau held a new year's reception in the jail yester day, and that about two hundred people called on him, a large proportion of them being ladies, which adds another strange chapter to this strange man's strange history. Whether these people went there to see and talk to the repre sentative assassin of the age, actuated by mere caprice, or to pay him a tribute of respect we are not told, but it pre"? sents itself to us none the less as a re markable incident in the career of this remarkable individual. A few short months ago the land was in mourning from one end to the other over the re mains of his victim, and the belief was prevalent that nothing but thiek walls and ever-wakeful guards could protect bim from the swift bullet of the aven ger, but he has since from day to day gone into court and there in the pres ence of hundreds .of people sat more likf a prosecutor tbanjone who was on trial for his life, while these same peo ple, composed we are told of the select of Washington social circles, seem to be entirely oblivious of the fact that he was the slayer of the man over whom they had shed their tears, and joined in the mirth that his insane ravings or smart remarks provoked. Athens honored her illustrious citi zens and sometimes gettiog tired of honoring them ostracised them. The Athenians were fickle; but the Athe nians have their counterpart in the sovereigns of America, who a few months ago would have gibbeted Gui teau on sight, and now not only have forgotten the enormity of his crime, but actually do him the honor to make a New Year's call on him. No wonder the man believes that the "Deity," as he phrases it, is taking care of him. The Plymouth Riot Ended. Raleigh News and Observer, 1st The promptness and extent of the measures taken for the repression of this riot showed good results at once. Yesterday we were able to publish news from the "scene or. the conmct which showed that the troubles were virtually at an end. Yesterday evening a telegram was received from Governor Jarvis, at Plymouth, in which he stated that he arrived there at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon; that in Saturday's fights and rioting four men were wounded, one of whom has since died. The posse of Sheriff Spruill had made the arrests before the troops reached the scene. The telegram further states that every thing is now orderly and quiet, and that the troops will at ones return. It was thought here that the bulk of the negro rioters would take to the swamps around Plymouth. One of these, Peacock Swamp, is within a mile of the town, and is said to be well nigh impenetrable. It was also thought that the troops would hunt out the offenders. Quite a number of Raleigh people know Plymouth well. They are old soldiers and they were down there in the year of grace 1864 when the famous Confederate ram, "Albemarle," made things lively. There was then hard fighting in and around the town, and an old campaigner yesterday remarked that he had seen more dead men lying around the court house there than were apt to be killed in a dozen later campaigns. The Norfolk papers give but little news of the affair, drawing upon us for most of their information. Many of the rioters were disarmed. The five ringleaders were sent overtoEdenton on the steamer Juniata. But Matt Wilson, the leader of the rioters, is vet at large. Mack Butler, the wounded man who died, had his skull crushed with a club. The rioters, it is said, made threats of burning the town and of taking the lives of prominent citi zens. The following is a copy of the tele gram calling out the Washington Light Infantry, of Washington, Captain D.N. Bogart, commanding : "Take your company to Plymouth at once and report to the sheriff or mayor. Use such force in restoring peace and law in aid of the civil authorities as may be necessary. (Signed) Tuos. J. Jarvis, Commander-in-Chief." L,lquer Traffic aad Legriltlon Washington Corretpondenoe Baltimore Ban. The House select committee on the alcoholic liquor traffic is composed of nine members, of whom seven are un derstood to be in favor of prohibitory measures. The National Temperance Society has been endeavoring for years to secure restrictive legislation from Congress on this subject. Two or. three times bills with this object in view has passed the Senate, but have not met with a favorable reception in the House. In all the votes and debates in the two Houses it has been seen that the republicans were almost solidly in favor of restrictive legislation and the democrats almost solidly opposed to it. The democrats being in the majority in the House accounts, therefore, for the failure to act on the Senate- bills sent to that body, or on bills introduced by individual members of the House with the same object in view. Now that the republicans have full control of the House and practical control of the Senate, those interested are expecting that the House committee above allud ed to will soon report a bill to provide for a commission to investigate the whole subject of the liquor traffic, with the ultimate object in view of adopting such legislation as will, so far as was Sossible for the National Legislature to o it, tend to suppress or reduce the traffic, and as the two houses are now constituted there is thought to be a strong probability of the passage of such 8 bill. Whether Congress can really enact any legislation effectual enough to abate intemperance and re duce the enormous traffic in alcoholic liquors admits of much doubt, judging from the experience of local legislation. Where Congress would find the sources to supply the enormous revenue re ceived from distilled and fermented spirits, amounting for the last fiscal year to $80,000,000, is problematical, although, as contended by the advocates "of suppression of the traffic, it may cost the people of the country many times that amount in industry, in health, in length of life, in taxes, in the maintenance of the law, in provision for poor-houses, penitentiaries and hos pitals.

The weather to-day was everything that could be de sired, clear, cold and bracing, and the custom of New Year's calling was very generally observed. The fact that it was President Arthur's first New Year reception it attracted a full attendance at the White House. All the foreign delegations were represented and the usual programme was carried out. The decoration of the White House was less profuse than in former years, because of the recent death of President Gar field, only plants and flowers being used and these in moderation. Even Guiteau held a reception in the jail and probably two hundred people, a large proportion being ladies, called on him.
