to discuss for the edifleation Of his colofcd
hearers tho comparative merits 81 the two

gEEDI,ESS ORANGES.

seedless oranges arc something Of novelty,
In this locality Mt least. We have received N
few beautiful specimens Of this peculiar ma
certainly very desirable variety o. orange
from Major Austin w Roundtree Their flavor
Ia vory delicate md delicious. and 1t Is claimed
for them TINT they keep much longer than
any other orange known. Most 81 Thorn are
entirely devoid OF seed. md Major Roundtreo
informs us that 1t often happens that there
Ia not more than ono seed found In two or three
hundred of this fruit. This variety WINS pro-
cured originally from the Imperial Botanical
Garden at Rio JanoIro. and was taken TO
Florida, where II was found to thrive, and
from whence tho present trees on Major
Roundtree's place over the river opposite
Cnrrollton were obtained. They have proved
to BIO excellently we'll adapted to our climate,
and being very prolific we suspect they will
soon be largely substituted for tho varieties
now raised by those who cultivate this golden
and luscious fruit.

contact hns been aware Of his identity nnd OF

majority OF instances MI. Carroll's business
has required him to indulge In Islander
and misrepresentation. and very often
It has been only too cloar that
Mr.. Carroll conducted his business
with MI enthusiasm which seemed To betokon
entire coDgeniulity. Nevertheless Mr. Carroll
has been treated In Now Orleans with a frank
and genuine cordialty. lIehas been made at

have boen quick To recognizes tho necessities
or his case, and have Rood-humoradly set
their hosptabIe Instincts above any little re-
sentmont they might have felt at seeing

his signature. There may have been some
| contemptuous recognition OF tho rathor un-
usual practice among gentlemen OF accept

mission and. apparently, his pleasure to
mallgn and injure; but 1t was facility ageed
that II Mr.. Carroll coul bring himself to do
these things, they could afford torefrnln from
any open protest.

do not allude to Mr.. Carroll's letters with

THE RADICAL CRUSADE.

Though rather late In the day, a few stall
warts from the North have started out into tho
parishes on Radical crusade In the interest
of tho candidates nominated by the Sherman
and Custom-House Convention held In this
city, and with tho view also Of ascortaining
II 1t be feasible thing for Northern Radicals
TO travel through this State and say precisely
tho things they would say at home. without
being molestod by those terrible fellows, the
bulldozers, who have served 80 long as scare
crows for the Republicans. The telegraph
informs us that yesterday the town OF Amite
where the bulldozers, according to Northern
accounts, have been wont to congrcgate for
purposes detrimental to the success Of Radical
schemes. was honored by the presence Of that
distinguished staIWart Ex-Governor and
United States District Attorney of New York
Stewart H. Woodford and Hon. John FL
Beadte Of Indiana whoever he may be, to
say nothing of such small fry as the vera
cious (2) correspondent Of the New York
Times, who, In the dispatch which we publish
in another column, and which evidently
emanated from him, declares that Mr.. Carroll

We are Informed also that the speeches of

to address an audience In the piney woods Of
Louisiana It was an occasion to make a
brave man quake with fear. There were the
threatening tall pine trees, which might at
any moment topple over on and crush the
speaker. there were at least a half dozen
Democrats, who might rise up at any minute
and assume the shape OF bulldozers; and
with all these frightful possibilities there
were no troops nearer than New Orleans to
come to the rescue In case of trouble It was
critical moment and one that called for the
exhibition OF the most sublime courage The
etalWarts to their everlasting credit be 1t
said, were equal to the trying occasion. They
not only spoke, but spoke "boldlY,' and we
are therefore not surprised to learn that the

A PAIR OF DAISIES.

| or course, the whole collection Of Kellogg
witnesses before tho Senatorial Committee
| now sitting In Now Orleans may be described
as bright and beautiful and fragrant bios
SONS, but 1t seems to US that at least two OF
them deserve especial mention. We refer to
DIckerson and Swazle. In speaking OF this
gang ono feels like paraphrasing the rural
editor at the local concert and remarking that
where all arc so nasty 1t were invidious to
discriminate. Nevertheless the claims OF
DIckerson and 5wazle are SO transeendent
that we arc bound TO take the chance or being
invidous- painful as 1t would be to discover
that we had overlooked real mcrit among the
others.
The fact Is, however, that Dlckerson np-
pears to have suffered greatly. He has been
beset by sllver-tongued Mephlsto-so he
says-in the person Of Tom Murray. This
beguiiing person has piled the Hurried but
impregnable Dickerson with temptations or
the most uprooting nature. In fact, he went
80 far 10 to represent to him that he (Dcker
som Ind O chance to give himself a national
reputation; that now was the opportunity to
concentrate upon his manly form the admir-
Ing gaze Or the country And all these tre-
tho simple and artIess feat Of telling the whole
truth, just once. Dickerson complains that
this agtateh his mind to very great extent
and otherwise subjected him to intel
lectual wear and tear of highly de.
structive nature. Dickerson, 1t is need
less to mention, Is q colored statesman
from st. James, to whom the temptation OF
becoming national character must have
been very fascinating and upon whom any
mental agitation or moral strain must have
borne with distressing severity. Yet when
we say that Dickerson nobly turned his back
upon this seduction, turned deaf and monu-
mental ear to Nurray's Establishments, al
lowed the anguish OF an unwonted upheaval
to rack his mind, and refused heroically re-
fused to tell the truth; when we make this
thrilling statement, we confidently expect
that the world will give Dickerson proud
prominence in the galaxy of the Kellogg wit
nesses.
AS for Swaze, one is necessarily struck
with the sharp contrast he presents. Unlike
Diekerson, Swazie can tell the truth or lie
with equal facility and In such rapid and be-
Widering confusion that the listener cannot
tell which one OF his twin talents Swazle Is
exercising at any given moment. This natu-
rally impairs Swazies value as witness, but
II very greatly magnities his proportions as
Q moral spectacle. We were struck
with swaze's testimony on Wednes-
day. He first stated that he was
not one OF those fellows who thought 1t right
to tell q lie for the sake Of his party. In the
next breath he admitted that he had told all
sorts of lies to Major Burke for the purpose
Of getting ticket to Bayou Sara. To be
sure, i is easy enough to keep up with swazie
here Clearly, when he declared that he was
not one of those who would lie for his party,
be was lying; and, evidently, when he said
that he had told dozen different lies to
Major Burke, he was telling the truth.

When 1t ls possible to get and keep your
bearings on SwazIe. you can obtain
a good deal of information. The trouble Is,
however, that, once fairly launched. SWazie
Is such u lightning charger as TO bnille tho
