By the following from the Visalia
(Cai.) Delta it would appear that
the business of oranges and choice
grapes in Tulare county is about to
be entered upon largely:
"a gentleman we'll known in this
county is prospecting along the
foothills for suitable place to
establish an orchard and vinyard on
a large scale, the specially to be
oranges and choice grapes. The
scheme emanates from a San Fran
cisco capitalist, the land not to he
less than 160 acres. The location
will be chosen, if possible. where it
will be absolutely safe from frost.
and the whole tract will be planted
once after the location is decided.
1t is an enterprise that will prob
ably. if at all successful, lead to
others similar, and SO promises to
be productive of material wealth.
The gentleman has found a locality
that was not touched by the late
frost, though they were more severe
than has been known for many
years 1t seems that there is a
thermal belt along the line of the
foothills at an altitude of 400 or 800
feet above the bed Of the valley,
where frosts are seldom or never
met with \ slight frost is by no
means fatal to orange Culture Any
climate where the thermometer
always ranges above % degrees
Fahrenheit is we'll suited for that
business"

CnNErING AND sHERMAN.

The speeches made and published to
the country by the great leaders of the
Greeley and Brown movement have
aroused the Grant men to an apprecia-
lion Of the situation, and they are
speaking in answer thereto with
little reason and less discretion.
The speeches which we publish
this morning as received BY telegraph
prove that the few who remain to sup
port Grant in the United States are re-
markable rather for zeal than good
sense, and that they are determined to
bolster up the character of a man who
long since lost the little he had in pur-
suit Of his personal and family aggran-
dizement at the expense of the
people of the United States.
Neither Conkling nor Sherman are the
men to sustain bad and failing cause,
The record Of either in the United States
Senate is not of the sort that would lift
them to party leadership, except in an
emergency ike that now upon the Rad
icals, when they find themselves with
out the talent, as without the hon.
estv that characterized Sumner,
Sehurz, Trumbull, DOolittle, Graft
Brown, Koerner, FentOn, and
Others who are now acting with US
in our efforts to elect Greeley and
Brown. They haye no claims 70 states
manship, but belong to the class repre-
sented by Murphy and the gift-givers
who manage Grant, and through him
seek TO shape the destinies of the coun-
try. Thinkers,.they are not, either; only
sp0uters Of words, mere words, as barren
Of ideas as Grant is of purpose be-
yond the qualification Of his own
whims and fancies as a lover of
horsefesh and bull-pups. And yet they
are the best he has in his Radical shop.
As such, and having only so much char
acter, what they have TO say is 20 be re-
ceived as the best that can be done for
Grant, who has need, indeed, to be de-
livered from his friends.

A LIE OUT.
Grant Squirms and Demands Schurz's
{ Authority for his Charge. a.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The charge
made last evening by Senator SchuFz,
in his st. Louis speech, to the effect that
he had been offered official patronage
by President Grant, or his friends, to
vote against his convictions of duty in
regard to the annexation Of San Domin-
20, was laid before the President BY
Secretary Belknap on General Grants
arrival this morning. The President
pronounced the whole statement, as far
as It attempts to reflect upon him, as
absolutely false in fact In no way was
any one ever authorized to tender to
Sehurz, or any other Senator, the
control or use Of any patronage
for his approval of the San Do
mingo annexation policy, or any other
measure of this administration, The
President expresses his earnest desire
that Sehurz win at once publish the let
ter, which he claims to have, in relation
TO this pretended profer, in order that if
any one has lInpoSegt 1pou the Senator,
it may lead to full exposure Of the dis
honest nature and character of such per-
