Judgo Settle, now of Florida, and the candiente wlio ran for Governor against Governor Yance, of North Carolina, last autumn, says there is a strong Administration party growing up in Florida, and tbat it will be feit iu the elections this fall. The members of the next Congress who are capable of studying had better devote thouiselves to the study of the problems of revenue and taxation wlüoh will confront them. Theymay be quite sure that if they cannot improve upon the solution of thoso problema giren in our existing laws it will not be long before they are compelled to give place to men who can. - N. Y. World. No ; the whole southern queation has been settlod for good or for evil, and the party or politician that attempts to reopen it will be ground to powder.
