Orange, lime, ard lemon trees raised

$40 to $50 a trse. ssventy-dse trees be-
Ing the usual allotment to an acre.
These trees need constant irrigation.
They can be transplanted at almost
any age without injury but trees over
three years old arc seldom to be found

$500 to $1,000 an acre. They require
irrigation only In the uplands; In tho

the California olive crop will be Of

Rich SrRIxE.-The Salt Lake Herald
Of Wednesday says: We have seen II
private letter from Ophir to a gentle
man HI this city, WHICH announces
that within a day or two an extraor-
.dinarily rich strike has been made on
tho south slope of Silver Hill. below
the Tampico mine. The ore Is horn
silver. and Is said to exist In larger
quantity than the rich discovery In
the Tampico. The letter represents
a lively excitement as resulting from
the strike, and the writer is certainly
excited, for the letter calls for volun-
teers to dlspossess and barricade the

Tho experience OF earthquakes In
this section Is that they do not appear
to extend very deep into the bowels Of
the earth, merely condning THAR va

surface. The smartest shock Of mod
ern times In this region, occurring two
years ago. although strong enough to
shake down chimneys, fire walls, etc.,
and frlghten people from their houses,
did not appear to extend far down into
the bowels Of the earth. At any rate
1t was not noticed By minors gsneraiiy:
Tho station men In the shafts were
about the only ones who observed the
shock at all, and even they mention Il
as more like a sudden pun Of air re-
sulting from a blast than anything
else. According to the reports, miners
who were working three hundred feet,
or more, underground in Inyo county,
at the time Of the recent great earth
quake, were entirely unconcious that
there had been the least physicardis-
turbance In that region. ., Thus 1t
would seem that the earthquake phe-
nomena proceeds from a discharge Of
electricity from tho atmosphere into
or upon the earth, and not from

ings in Gold Hill and Virginia, yet

Grants Greatest Fault.

Speaking of Trumbull, Schurz, Sumner,
Chase, and Greeley, the Salem (Mass.) Ga
zette says: Here are set of men who, down
to the very brink Of their apostacy, were the
most insatiate radicals on the continent;
who assisted in moulding all the measures
that are most denounced by the Democrats,
and that are most offensive to the conquered
element at the South, and yet they are hold
ing Gen. Grant responsible for them. when
his only part in them was in accepting the
measures of the dominant party, and per-
forming his constitutional duty of enforcing
the laws as he found them. 1t is not any
thing that Gen. Grant has done that consti-
tutes his principal offense; it is that he stands
in the way of so many candidates for the
Presidency"

Senator Summers Position.

The Washington correspondent of the
Daily Advertiser says that ex-senator James
A. Shields, of Missouri, has been trying to
persuade Mr.. Sumner to adopt the course
which leading Liberals have urged upon him.
namely, to speak upon issues of the hour in
Boston, and then go through the West and
South. After hearing various arguments
which Shields presented, Mr.. Sumner replied
that, while ne had strong sympathy with the
Greeley movement, there was one thing
which caused him to hesitate, and that was
the probable treatment Of his colored wards
by the Democracy. For these he had moth
ing to hope at the hands of that party. and
for himself he had no intention of deserting
them. He could not see his way clear to co.
operate actively with the party that would
never accept the principles of his civil rights
bill. Last winter, when he, with some Of his
associates, were battling the Administration,
and his civil rights bill was pending, he went
over to the Democratic side of the Senate
Chamber and appealed to them there to vote
with him so as to give him chance to go
with the new movement so that he could
support it consistently, feeling that the rights
Of the colored race would be safe with the
new party. But in spite of his appeals and
his reasons no one of the Democratic Sena-
tors would vote with him. Now his ONLY
difficulty in joining actively in the effort to
elect Greeley was the refusal of his Demo-
cratic friends to give him the least assurance
that the rights of the colored men would he
respected. Shields in reply argued that
these Senators belonged to the dead past and
did not represent the Democracy of the pres.
ent, but Mr.. Sumner ended as he began, by
reasserting his doubt whether he could de-
pend upon the new party to do justice to the
negro.

Mrs. Mary A. s. Cary.

We were called upon yesterday by this
lady whom we knew of in former years as the
editor of a paper published at Toronto, and
afterwards at Chatham, West Canada, in the
interests of education among the colored peo-
pie of the Dominion. Recently she has been
successfully employed in teaching in WASH
ington city. She is a well informed, intelli-
gent, and worthy woman, and is spending the
period Of school vacation in efforts to extend
the circulation of the New NATIONAL ERA
published at Washington, edited by the cele-
brated Fred. Douglass, and published by his
sons, Douglass Brothers. The New Ma
TIoNAL ERA is edited with marked ability,
and is thoroughly Republican. 1t is designed
to make it useful as n National organ of Re-
publicanism, and to extend its circulation in
the North, and especially in the South, where
it is calculated to promote the success of
General Grant in the pending canvass. Mrs.
Cary is also authorized to receive contribu-
tons towards the expenses of wide, free
distribution for campaign purposes. We
commend Mrs. Cary to the favorable consd-
Grafton of those upon whom she may call, and
hope liberal responses will be made to her
mission. -PhtsbTg Gazette.

The Unjust Judges.

1t has been among the sharp lodges - of
the Fenton.Greeley faction to take up the
cry of Reform" and turn it to their own
dishonest purposes. They opposed Reform
when we were trying to accomplish it. Even
now they are in league with that very Tam
many gang which we have labored for years
past to destroy. Yesterday, great flag
was suspended in the City Hall Park, with
this inscription upon it: " Tammany responds
to the nomination Of the Baltimore Convention. !"
By orders of the Sachems," hundred
guns were also fred as Tammany salute to
Greeley. In the Tribune there appeared a
defense Of Sheriff Brennan, who is daily de-
frauding the city, as we have conclusively
proved; and boast that the blossom
Club" (Tweed's) anxiously awaited the
nomination OF Greeley. Here are evidences
enough for one day that the Greeley men are
identical with the Tammany gang-that they
are working hand in hand-and, no doubt.
it is considered by the combined forces an
exceedingly "smart +" thing to take the Re-
form weapon out of the hands of Reformers
and turn it against them.-N. r Times.

what the Ku. Klux Expect Of
Greeley.

A Greeley organ in Alabama, the Talla-
deya Ners, recently published the following
brutal account of the murder of two Union
soldiers while attempting to arrest man
who had been indicted for Ku-Kluxing !:
Last Sunday two Yankee boys in blue
visited the house of Mr.. MarOney in Shelby
county and near the county line of Shelby
and Bib, not far from the little village
known as Six Mile, for the purpose Of arrest
ing him under bill found by the Grand Jury
of the United States Court, recently in ses-
sion in Montgomery. Mr.. Maroney was i'm
plicated in the Coosa county affair. Under
this true bill found by the Grand Jury these
brave soldiers of the best Government the
world ever saw went with handouts for Mr..
Maroney. He welcomed them with hos
pitable hands to inhospitable graves-he
poured lead into one, and cold steel into the
other, whereupon both of these gallant SOL
diers gave up the ghost, and Mr.. Maroney is
still as free as the air which he inhales. We
gather these facts from a reliable gentleman
just returned from Shelby county We re-
greet. and condemn this occurrence, and call
upon our people to remain quiet-the old
white hat will make all things right.

Hacking Down.

To the Editor Of the Ne,o York Times. ,..
In last Saturdays issue of the New York
Tribune a challenge was published by Col. w.
U. Saunders, of Baltimore, inviting any col
ored man in the country, who sustains Gen.
Grant and the Republican party, to meet him
in discussion in the city of New York, or
elsewhere, in the month of August. In the
afternoon of the day in which this Wanting
challenge appeared carried in person an &C.
ceptance to the Tribune office, but up to this
date l have received neither notice nor re-
ply; but, nevertheless, L find in this morn
ing's Tribune, notice Of the acceptance of
Col. John Taylor, of Newark, n. j., to meet
Col. Saunders. Now, Mr.. Editor. will YOU
be kind enough to inform the public why Col
John Taylor is preferred to meet the supple
and valiant Goliath rather than your humble
servant, HENRY HIGHLAND GARNET.

A Bitter Assault ON GreeIeyism.

Judge Linton Stephens delivered long
and very bitter speech against the adoption
of Greeley as the Democratic candidate for
the Presidency, at Atlanta, Ca, on Thurs
day evening. We quote this paragraph to
show its general tenor:
"Why, am told, if the Democratic party
elects Greeley, he will be good to us. Give
us something! What is he going to give us .
Give us any principles? Where is the prin-
ciple he is going to give? He has not even
said that he is going to give US anything; but
the hope is that he is going to give some of
US who are willing to take it a share of the
plumber. Was there ever more proper APP
plication of the motto, Fear the Greeks,
when they are bringing gifts?' Fear the
Radicals when they are bringing Gifts and
1 tell you that radicals will never give YOU
any gifts, only to persuade you away from
your principles. Greeley wants you to swap
your principles for few pitiful little offices
for some people and don't know whether
some people will ever get the offices or not ::
and I would not care.
''Talk to me about abiding the Baltimore
Convention! l will abide by it in all oues-
tons of policy, but will not abide by that
convention, nor any other convention. that
bids me to depart from principle; and want
10 know II tnese gentlemen who say stand by
the Baltimore Convention whatever they do.
will stand by it if they adopt the Philadel.
phia platform and nominate Grant? The
Cincinnati platform is no better in principle
than the Philadelphia platform.
II will go for the maintenance of Demo-
cratic principles, and if can't get a man that
goes for all, 1 will take the one that goes for
some one of the vital principles of Democra-
cy. will take no subordinate rights, but
absolute State rights. The way to win is to
hoist your colors. don't mean any new
departurists l don't mean any Radicalized
colors I; but the true Democratic State rights
colors, that hold reconstruction and ali its
triumphs to be revolutionary, unconstitu-
tional, null, and void. We may not succeed
in electing President in this campaign, but
we can put the party on this sort of plat
form, and give it manly standard-bearers
who are in position to carry its colors. We
may not be in condition to carry the next
election; but, at all events, it will give us

DENVER, July Il, 1872.
TO the Eddo, ofbe Near National Era
Now that Horace Greeley is selected as
the candidate of the Democratic party for
President of the United States and put
squarelyi into the fieldagainst Gen. Grant, and
rs this will be the first Presidential election
which the colored citizens have been called
upon to take part in, and as the Hon. Cas-
sius NJ. Clay has been giving, in long
letter, his advice to the negroes of Kentucky,
urging them to vote for Greeley and Brown
instead of Grant and Wilson, and as he (Mr.
Co. has virtually thrown down the gauntlet
to Frederick Douglass, of whom he calls
- half-white man, denouncing Greeley and
Brown as pirates" Now, in view of the
foregoing, we would propose, in order to
elicit the mature judgment of the colored
citizens at the polls next November, that the
Hon. Cassius NJ. Clay and Frederick Doug
lass be requested to debate the relative merits
of the Presidential candidates before the
colored citizens assembled at such times and
places as shall be agreed upon, with such
equal protection to both. In making this
fair and honorable proposition, we conf
IDENTIFY believe that we reflect the sentiments
of the colored people Of the nation.
We would further suggest that in the pre-
posed joint discussion the following promi-
nent, well-known gentlemen be chosen as
moderators to preside: Alex. II. Stephens,
John c. breckenridge, and Wade Hampton
ON the part of Mr.. Clay; and VIM. Lloyd
Garrison, Gerrit Smith, and Wendell Phillips
on the part of Frederick Douglass, and that
their speeches be published SO as to be read

BOWERS HILL, VA, July III. 1872.

To the Editor ofHe Nc,c National Era.
The colored citizens ofthis place celebrated
the Goth anniversary of American Independ-
ence with much spirit. We assembled at
Bowers Hill about 10 O'Clock of that day,
with Mr.. John c. Burrell, President, and
Moses r.. Goodman, Chief Marshal, and
listened to an address by Rev. Eli Hall, who
spoke especially with reference to the Phila-
delphia Convention, claiming that it was
based upon the idea of the equality of all
men, that it was the first convention in which
colored men participated in the nomination
of President and Vice President. The speak
er did not forget to bear unequivocal testi-
mony in favor of the election of Ulysses S.
Grant and Henry Wilson, and he also spoke
his good word for J. H. Plat, the candidate
for Congress of the I'd District Of Virginia.
