HOW GIRo LOOKS.

The man Giro is about five feet six inches high
and of slight, spare build He has narrow face,
with brown mOustache. What there is of his hair
* of the same color. He is bald from the forehead
pearance. dresses in the height of the fashion,
and seems to be a favorite with the ladies. AL
though Mrs. ChriStlancy was i'll the room part of
the time while Giro was teStlfying she did not no
tce him on entering the room: neither did any
recognition pass between them while there.
:" Mr. Oliver, were those jewels really valuable?'
inquired THE REPUBLICAN.
''They have been appraised by an expert in the
employ of Messrs. Ball 4 Black, OF New York and
he values them at $685."
"What is the difficulty about their ownership"
"JuSt this. Last summer Dr.-C L. Blood Wassent
here by Giro to see Mrs. Christiancy. He had an
interview with her at her house and once acct
dcntally at my Office. That was the extent of the
mountaineering. He brought letter from Giro
saving that he Blood was his most intimate
friend on the earth and the only man that he
knew in this country that he could trust.
Subsequently, in order to get the ewery back into
the possession of Giro, Mrs ChrIsiancy sent it to
Dr. Blood. The latter said and claimed that the
ieWelry originally belonged to him, and he loaned
it to Giro, who sent it to Mrs Christiancy. When
Dr. Blood got il into his possession he kept it and
still holds 1t. Some time in the month OF Novem-
Der last Blood and Giro had falling out, and
Blood was arrested on a warrant sworn out by

that he had been twice arrested i'll New York for
disolderly conduct. He is now under bail for an

A Rsme Breaks Up In a Rew-A Big
Haul.

On Saturday night, shortly before mid
night. information was received at the bar
racks that there was considerable excite
ment on East Broad street, near Eastern
Hall. Sergeant Harvey with detail OF
FIVE policemen at once started for the
scene, and on arrival found large
gathering Of negroes greatly excited
and the street in an uproar. II sp-
peared that Major Hayes, colored indlVid-
ual, had, in violation Of the city ordinance.
inaugurated a rattle at his domicile, and
this was the origin Of the disturbance, there
being some dissatisfaction az the result.
HAYES was at once captured and marched TO
the barracks and the police detaii
swooped down upon the disorderiF,
boisterous negroes, who were kicking
mn a perfect bedlam, and arrested
the following: Cooper Mells, Jim James,
Charles Behrens, Smart jenkins, VIM. Max-
well, Jake Stevens, Wn. jackson, Adam
Wilson, Aleok Haney, Nettie Maxwell
MinDie Haney, Flora Wells, Lizzie May,
Bessie Nell, Lucy Ann McDavidsOD. Mary
Hayes, Eugene HaDey, Rosannah Greene,
Bessie Henderson, Rena Mallory, Richard
Maxwell and Sinda Graham, all colored.
The females were, If possible, more bolster
Gus and disorderly than the men, and Tor
time pandemoDium reigned In
that locality. The entire party
were formed in line and marched
under escort to the barracks, where they
were comfortably housed for the night.
Several Of the prominent actors In the row
managed to escape, but the vigilant police
man got q clue TO them, and Yesterday
morning arrested Watt Malloy, Mike Kelly,
Charles Norson, Monroe Thomas, BERTHE
Readick and Wesley Snipe, who were
trOtted TO the barracks to join the other
gang. The raffiers and rioters will make an
imposing appearance at the matinee to day.

A CoIored Orphan Asylum.

A numb er Of respectable colored citizens
have organized society in this city to be
known as the Colored Orphan Asylum Of
Savannah, the object Of which is to care
for the helpless colored orphan children,
ard endeavor to bring them up in q proper
way. The officers Of the society have Issued
an appeal to churches, societies and indi-
viduals, which we hope may elicit liberal
response, as such an institution might be
Of great good. The officers make the fol-
lowing statement in their appeal:
"The subjects for whom we now appeal to
your charity are those who are to be the
future men and women OF our race. At
present many Of these germs Of future man
hood and Womanhood ara left parentless,
untutored, uncared for and unprotected.
The girls are exposed TO all the baneful in
fuences Of wicked city, while the boys
are being fitted to iii our prisons and to
ornament the scaffold. These may not be
our kindred blood, but they are closely allied
to us by a common interest as our common
people; unlocked after and uncared for,
they become to US like mistletoes to the
oak, and stone tied 10 the talons OF an
esgle-When we would grow they prevent
US, when we would sore aloft as race thev
draw US down.
ave desire to establish home where the
orphan can beicared for, reared and educat-
ed, and though parentless, be fitted for fu-
tuTe usefulness and not left TO be a curse to
our race. Through the assistance Of a gen
erOus public we hope to consumste the
purpose of our organization. We earnestly
trust that the worthiness of the cause will
incline everyone to whose knowledge this
appeal may come TO do something, be 1t
little or much. All contributions made to
the society viii be acknowledged by the
Secretary and receipt given for the same"
In another column appears the constitu-
tion of the proposed Society, which we
we commend to the attention of our philan-
thropic citizens.

The rnrnentIne Farms,

We continue to receive reports Of the
great damage done the turpentine farms in
this vicinity during the late hurricane, and
It would seem that the first accounts were
not exaggerated. Along the Ogeechee, in
Bryan and Liberty, the destruction has
been very great, aud most of the farms are
considered utterly ruined.
Messrs. Smith s. Watson had all their
trees blown down and their farm ruined.
They were working twenty crops Mr..
Terry's farm also consisted OF twenty
crops, and he Jared no better. Mr..
VIM. Letford worked twenty crops and sus-
tanned heavy damages, and will have to
erect new works. DIR. Cuts lost fifteen
crops. Mr.. Thigpen lost eighteen crops
and will have to start a new farm.
Mr.. George Hayman, who had recently
started new naval stores farm in Bryan
county, and was working eight crops, was a
very heavy sufferer.

RuOvssRepIaeed.

The steam lighthouse buoy tender Allan
thus arrived here Saturday. She reports
having had all the buoys off this port,
Charleston, Port Royal and Edisto in
position, also Martins Industry
light ship, and the light ship Rattlesnske off
the port of Charleston. Thirty-six buoys
In all were placed in position, which is
pretty prompt work, when it is considered
that all Of them were dragged from three
TO six miles from their proper position.
The whistling buoy off this port, which
was dragged three miles out of its position,
had an anchor attached equal to those used
by one thousand ton vessel. The officers
Of the steamer state that there
was a tidal wave during the
storm, as nothing else could
have moved this buoy, so secured,
from its position. The steamer sustained
but little damage, but when the wave came
both anchors were dragged and she was
driven up against the bank of a creek where
there was plenty OF water and lay there
during the storm, thonping against the
bank, but not being materially damaged.
