FLORIDA FUAUDS.

BABCOqETS B-AIiAIBQANZ A. The .President's Pet: Dispensing - Sinecures to Southern ; . Carpet Baggers. ' TROPICAL PLUNDER. ' 'DONALD'S HELLKWVrLLK BUBBLE- HOW XT "WAS DrVXLOPBD UKDKR SUN ST OFFICIAL BKILKS AS ISVKSTIOATlOIf IN ORDERSeveral day a ago the Sentinel contained ie shadow, the ghcsi as It were, of ceitiln crooked facta in the offlcial caresr of Babcock, the president' pet. At that time it was impoesible to secure the desired responsible name for the story, or to air . -more , than the vaguest out line of . the charge. But tno good work has ' gine on hour by hour. The citadel ba been besieped and bas finallv surrendered to repeated attack?, and now the panorama with all i:a tropic attraction of landscape od back ground ot eorrap.lon Is at the service of our reader. To begin with, then, the worst animal the most ferocious and the barde-st to deal with, is rbe carpat-bagger. ITe infests the Southern fields irom Texas to Florida, and always can be found with the same villainous propensities. They mark him like so many user ttripe. A rare specimen of this animal was John McDonald. He was born in Canada, graduated from ' the northern lumber regions before the war. fit into the late strife, and. shortly afier the war, dri:t?d to Florida, wher-J he at once began to use his claws on the down trodden people ot the flawery kingdom. lie ottained the rraUion of azent ot the United States timber oflice, on the ground or being a m partial surveyor. HE 6UBVKTED THE GROUND WELL. The governmect, it must be known, has Ions had a reservation in that region of fine pine and live oak lands for the benefit of the ship building interests of the navy, and while the duties ot McDonald were ostensibly to watch that no one trespassed on these fields, what he really did, it appears, was to famish poachers with a dark lantern, and then make them wnacK up on the spoils. For this unselfish werk in guarding the naval stores o timber, and for occasional odd lobs in furnishing the navy department with plats of tie lands, (always forgetting to designate the acres which had been rilled,) he received the snug income of $l,'ioO per annum. which, in that land, is next thing to fortune. Soon his aspiring soul grew sick of all this, and he turned him about to discover new methods of increasing his revenue. It so happened that two men oi st. Augustine bad, in the year 1S7J, aur veyed considerable lands on contraot with the state, and had taken their pay In a tract of 1,200 acres situated about six miles from Mellenville along the banks Of the fragrant and flower lined vYekivs. It was a garden spot of moat beautiful glories, rich in timber of great value and blessed with luxuriantly fertile soil. The land rolled In moss winsome undulations, from gently elevated bills of pine to the river bank on one side and the margin of fairy lakes on the other. It seemed, in short, A PARADISE OF POSSIBILITIES in the eye of the gilted land glutton Mc Donald, and he took measures to call it his own. He began negotiations with the two men of St. Augustine, and they con sen ted to sell and told him he might aend on the money offered at once and then obtain a deed from the state land department. . Now it bad been providentially arranged bo that the state landein: and the national jana office were together in the basement ot the same building, and the clerk of one department had the laculty of knowing the other fellow's business and looking Into bis band. Accordingly McDonald made ont a check, drawn on the bank of Jack sonvllle. forwarded it to the land owners. and then bad the deed made over to him in his wile's name. This precaution was taken to secure the property in the family, when those St. Auguitine fellows should find out the check was worthless. They ot course took measures at once to get their rights, and filed papers in prosecution in the Orange county courts, but at last re ports the suit bad not come to trial. Once in possession of bis paradise, McDonald began to devise meats of reaping bis bonanza. The tract was subdivided into 120 ten acre lots. Then came the trouble of getting up a pool to dispose ot the lands. McDonald roped In about five men oi Tallahassee, who SNUFFED SPECULATION IN THE BREEZE. But without somerjforelgn Influence from the departments it would not be bo easy to place the sew found stock where it would do the most good, that is, in the North. So a letter was addressed to the private secretary. It smelt of orange groves and banana fields, and was tinged with the golden hue of tropic speculation. The Southern ring meant well, but was poor. Money was needed, and influence much mors. In December, 1873, a letter came rom O. K. Baboock to McDonald, containing assurance ot id and comfort. The writer bad no money to Invest in exactly that shape, but he had done the next best thing and placed McDonald on the pay roll at Washington as clerk ot some minor bureau at a salary ot f 1,000 a year. All be bad to do was to visit Washington every quarter for the salary, and In the meantime count Baboock in on the speculation and keep him - posted on affairs as they unfolded. The scheme was thus practically fostered by a direct and corrupt contract with the president's private sec retary. The paper on which Babcock'a letter was written bore the assurisg seal of the executive mansion, and under these sunnr skies the plan went out to perfection. M'DONALD MADE OUT PLATS OF THE LAND, the beautiful Southern Eldorado, fur nished with marginal notes in the poetic language of the real estate market, describing that such and such dots, profusely scattered over the surface of the map, meant oranse groves, and such and such lines were intended to stand, like pronouns, for luscious rods of banana fields, and thus convey to the cold Northern heart some lalnt nation of the tropio splendors on the flowery banks of the Wekiva. When the purchaser came t ) Inhale the lazy and delirious oder ot Paradise. It required the concentrated Juice of forty acres of orange groves to stain bis handkerchief and the bananas from the . whole patch would hardly overcome the taste of one dose of Florida whisky. As the Dutchman aald. however, after a few months the

Northerner had the experience and Mc

Donald bad the captal. The next thing In order now Is a congressional Investigation. .Tbe gentleman who furnished th'ss tact Is perfectly familiar wih Mr. lir cock'a Florida banana, and aaw the leltar mnferrine the sinecure lor purposes of pri vate gain, and he Is ready now, though a staunch republican to testily more drcum atantlallv against a man be has long re garded as a disgrace to ma party ana ine country at large, ileia unable to state from what department mis Mcuonaia arew THE 8IKCURKSAt.lBT. But infers he was on the rolls under Babcock's linmediats supervision and was probably one of the secretary's numerous private appointees, as he was blessed with many such. Let an , examination of the mil ha made at once under that date of December, 1873, and the committee n ay thus soon detirinineiust what the status of McDonald was. McDonsld was a moet unprincipled soar In everything, and in all hl Hhemea was atoea dv inuuence from Washington. For Icstai.ce, a lucra tive device of his, as herealter teiaceo, could only be accomplished through infor mation sfcretly furnished from tne in terior deDartment. When a stranger weal to Florida under tbe boapitabie terms oi the homestead law. be secured 160 a res for the nominal 6um of $11. lie had to bold at 1 improve It for five vears. Ireauentiv tne touaiiers wan: 10 sell at ' t'je expiration ol their homestead time, and w en this is done they must notify tue land cfli?e at Florida mal tuey want tbe entry cancelled iu i hair names. This infcrma'ionlsseDt onto WsalngtoD, and in due course ot time the order comes ba ' k to . declare the land vacated and ready for irtsi entry. lbs tiret maa who puts in a claim on tbe arrival of this tflicial decree is entitled lo the property. McDonald, by collusion with Dirties at Wabln2ton. knew lust when tbe document had been mailed and when thev would arrive. He was on hand to the minute, and pounce! onto the homestead tracts as soon as the notification bad been read. Titus he would often for $14 00 obtain the title to lands thus vacated technically for purposes ot sale, and frequently worth 2 000 or $3,000, after having been improved with boildlngs and cultivated. In case the purchaser bad Dald. he had no remedy. In either case McDonald bad thrown some unsuspecting mortal's fat In the fire. Let us investi gate. GOOD WORDS FOR TUE GOVERNOR THE NEWS MAKES A MANLY STATEMENT CONCERNING MR. HENDRICKS. The News of last evening editorially siid: The Journal Is inquisitive as to how Governor Hendricks müde his money, when be has been In public life so long. This is a mean way ot hinting or insinuating that be may have done something diebone st, or at least underhanded. If the; Journal knows anything to the dstrim&nt of tbe eovernor. let it name It. but such Innuendoes are unwortny of it. Mr. Ilen dricks has always been a bard-workirg, thrifty man. Ha practiced law for over twelve years in tbis city, and no mau in the etat9 had more business or got better fees. He has had land here acd donbtless shared tbe benefit of its appreciation with hundreds of others. It i easy enough to see where he has made money, and we suppose the reason he bas it is because be saved it. Governor Hendricks's personal integrity has never been lmpunged, and be bas been an exemplar of mo6t of tbe virtues tbst dignify and ennoble private life. The News can find much in bis public life to criticise and condemn, aDd there are weak nesses in his character which it does not like, but as a private citizen it sees in Mr. Hendricks very much to admire and com mend.
