Tlio elegant and fast new freight and passenger steamer, the "Chesapeake," re cently brought down from the Ohio river to run on the St. Johns, is now making her regular runs from Jacksonville to Sanford, The Chesapeake is a new craft, with all the modern improvements of a first-class steamboat. Uer passenger accommodations are excellent, and the cabin is illuminated with a "Swan elec tric light," and her sjieed is very fast. She is the largest loat now on the river, and her freight and passenger rates are as low as any other line. The I kvU con nects with the Charleston line steamer "City of Palatka" and all railway routes for the north, east and west. She leaves Jacksonville for (ireen Cove Spring, Pa latka, Astor, Sanford, Enterprise and all way landings on signal or notice, at 4p.m. Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays, re turning on Tuesdays. Fridays and Satur days; making the fast schedule of three tripsaweek, connecting with the rail roads up the river. This steamer is the first of a new line that will lerun on the river next season, and she bids fair to le as popular as any boat that ever run on the St. Johns. Edwin F. Maddy is the captain and manager, and Mr. IJ. O. Hammond, a popular and well-known Putnam county gentleman is the purser. Mr. H. Gilliard, also well-known in Pa latka, i the freight agent at Jacksonville, and Messrs. Leve & Alden are the tourist and passenger agents. In Favor of Dougherty. A correspondent of the Starke Tele graph has this to say of Mr. Chas. Dougherty's candidacy for congress : 'Of fine iK?rsonnel, forcible and fluent in debate, unquestioned integrity as a man and democrat, he would be the peer of the representative of any other dislrict, in this or any other State. Added to all this, there is not a gentle man in the whole district more person ally popular with the masses, and his nomination would be equivalent to his lection. I allude to and have attempt ed to ,describe, in this paper, Charles Douglierty, Emj., of Volusia county," FROM PENSACOLA OVER THE LAND THE WELKIN' RIXGS, FOR PERRY AND MARRY. TOO The Palatka Xows and its- Rooster Sings, Cock-a-tloodle Doo! Harmony the Presage of Victory. From our seeial despatches of the 2.ith the readers of the News learned of the enthusiastic reception accorded the menders of the convention by the citi zens of Pensaeola.. We got fuller par ticulars from later telegrams to the News by a delegate. The permanent or ganization was completed by the election of lion. James M. McClellan of Jackson to the chair. In the (Committee on Cre dentials, lion. W. II. Cook, of Pomona, represented Putnam. The two-thirds rule was adopted, and nominations were declared in order. J. B. Johnson of Alachua nominated Gen.

Mr. Church Croom of Her nando nominated Hon, Samuel Pasco of Jefferson amid great applause. When Walton was' called Col. McCaskill nomi nated Gen. Wm. D. Barnes of Jackson. The first ballot showed Miller 11, Perry 08, Pasco So 3-5, Barnes 782-5. In this Putnam gave Perry 5, Pasco 1, Barnes 1. The second ballot stood Perry 100. Pasco 98 1-5, Barnes 89 1-5. 3rd.

The rest of the tale i told in our last despatch. To The Palatka News : Milton S. Mabry of Sumter is our Lieut. Governor. Enthusiastic addresses were made by Perry and others, and ad journment was taken till 8 p. m. The whole convention is invited to make an excursion on the bay.

This is a high compliment to Mr. Harnett." Mr. 11. S. Mooney, the undertaker and embalmer, has an advertisement this morning, to which attention is called.

Captain Delahanty thought he would make Pa latka in seven days from Bath, but olf Charleston he struck a dead calm and outside the St. Johns bar a rough sea, that delayed him several days. "Ma," said the small boy, as thev were taking the train out of town, a few days ago, "you'll see somothin' funny when we get back." "What will it be?" in quired his mother. "Why, all thebuild in's will Ihj a different color."

The .loffersoiiiau Democratic Club. Norwalk Ela., June 2o. 183-1. Editor Daily News. At ft meeting of the Jeffersonian Dem ocratic club held June 19th, 1884. the following resolution submitted by R. W. Bard was adopted. Resolved, That it is not the mission of the democratic party in the coming campaign to review the administration, or settle the personal difficulties of Trew or Bloxham, but rather so to direct its energies that a nominee who will unite the entire vote of the party shall lead the ticket. That while w lelieve them both to have worked for the public good, we cannot afford, nor will we enter into a personal squabble by recommending the nomination of either of these gentlemen. Resolved, therefore, that we recom mend to our delegates to the slate con vention to drop the names of Drew and Bloxham, and urge qon the convention a name that will ensure harmony in our ranks and cause great victory at the polls. William II. Peck. Secretary. H Bothered the Doctor. Dr. McCosh is celebrated for egotism, and the lest of it he is never conscious of it. He has a broad Scotch accent, and the habit of gnawing at the joint of his thumb when busily thinking. Some years ago he was lecturing ln-fore the senior class in Princeton college. He had been discussing Ieibnitz's view of the reason of evil to the effect that man kind was put upon the earth because there was less evil here than elsewhere. One of the seniors inquired: "Well, Doctor, why was evil introduced into the world?" "Ah!" said the doctor? j holdingup both hands, "ye have asked ! the hardest question in all feelosophy. j Suckrates tried to answer it and failed; j riato tried it, and he failed; Kahnt at- tempted and made bad work of it; Leib- nitz tried it, and he begged the whole question, as I've leen tellin' ye; and I j confess," gnawing at the thumb knuckle, "I confess I don't know what to nrake of it myself."
