The natives houses are all so much

dried clay. Two rooms are usually
found, and in them black pickaninnies

in a common wealth of familiarity.

The ascent is very steep in places, but
the sure footed beasts are accustomed to
mountainous work. and they plod along
without stumbling. The path is S.
narrow that you brush the dew and

colored republicans Of Savannah have been
too timid in declining to sign petitions here
for candidates, and that they should not
hesitate to express their choice at the proper
time.
Rev. Snelson thinks the cabinet will be
decidedly Blaineish, but that Harrison will
be President and be led his hearers to infer
that the President and the preacher are en-
rapport. He gave the following inside
history of the Georgia deleg alton, telling
how a combination was made with the
Harrison mel in the Chicago convention to
shut out two colored contestants, /. NJ.
Dent of Pulaski and Ebert Head of Sum
ter. Head was one of the old wheel horses
OF Sumter contesting j. r. Dudley's
seat in the convention, and had been
elected an alternate by the convention
which had chosen Dudley. Dent was con-
testing the seat of a colored man by the
name of TAYLOR, of Sumter. The delega
ton wanted to shut Head and Dent out, but
the Sherman strength was not strong
enough. So a bargain was made with the
Harrison men that if they would help seat
Dudley and Taylor, their two votes should
be cast for Harrison until a break came,
and then if it was found Harrison had no
show, Dudley and Taylor could vote with
the Georgia delegation for Sherman.
1t appears that the compact was kept in
good faith. for Harrison got two votes
from the first from the Georgia delegation,
and this was the first break in the Georgia
boom for the Ohio iceberg. Then Alger
drew off three more votes. TIE Georgia
delegation from that time on fioundered
about, waiting to see which would be the
strongest side.
Rev. Snelson was the only one of the
delegation who had been elected without
oppos ton, and on his way to Chicago he
coralled about one-half of the delegation
and stopped off at indianapolis, where with
his brood under his wing, he called on Gen.
Harrison and exhibited his broken delega-
ton. He had been favorably impressed
with Gen. Harrison in the national repuo
lican convention Of 1880, and wanted his
colleagues of 1884 to see the grandson of
the hero of Tippecanoe and Tyler too. On
the way back home Rev. Snelson, with four
other Georgia delegates, stopped off at In
dianapolis to congratulate the general upon
his nomination.
The shrewd politician from Liberty, says
"they wanted me to go to Indianapolis since
the election, but | refused to GO" He said,
however, he will attend the Inauguration
with three or four others from his county,
and if lower rates can be obtained quite
number will go, but the best figures offered
them is SIT. He thinks there is no reason
why the fare should not be as low as from
Charleston, where it is but $l4. Rev.
SneIson will come to Savannah and 60 with
the Savannah delegation.

In his letter of Endorsement, written en-
Dec. last, Cardinal Gibbons refers to the
recent action of the plenary council of his
church and TO the movement, from which
the petitions now before congress have re-
suited, in the following emphatic language:
- am most happy to add my name TO those
Of the millions of otle VINO are laudably
contending az inst the violations of the
christian Sabbath by unnecessary labor,
and who are endeavorlng to promote its
decent and proper observance by
Legitimate legislat m. AS the late
plenary cou Gil of Baltimore has declared,
the due observance of the Lorl's day con-
tributes immeasurablv to the restriction of
vice and immortality, and to the promotion
of peace, religion and social order, and
cannot fail to draw upon the nation the
blessing and protection of an overrulng
Providence. If beaevolence to the beasts
of burden directed one days rest in every
week under the old law, surely humanity
to man ought to dictate the same measure
of rest under the new law
Whlle this movement is on the side of
true and practical religion, it has, as its
basis, Fundamental principle, humanity to
man." Respectfully,

ORANGES TAKE A JUMP.
What q Florida Fruit Man Says About
the Seasons Crop.

the Seasons Crop.
Oranges have jumped from 81 to 81 so
@S2 so box within the last few days. A
fruit dealer said yesterday that the jump
is nothing more than was expected. The
Florida crop will last only about fifteen
days longer, and the supply here is becom-
ing limited. Before the last box is sold it
is likely that fancy price will be asked,
and oranges will then be within reach of
but a few. When the Florida crop is in,
the market is supplied with Sicily oranges
until the season opens again for Florida
fruit.
A Floridian who is pretty well up in the
fruit culture of his state was in the CITY
yesterday. He said with reference to the
present season that so far as productiveness
goes 1t has been one Of the best the growers
ever had. The yield has been greater than
for several years and the fruit has never
been finer. Notwithstanding this, however,
he was inclined to the belief that the season
has been an Improbable one. What Florl-
da would have gained by the unprecedent-
eddy favorable season was offset by the
yellow fever epidemic The growers, he said,
were forced to let the drop oranges" rot
on the tree as they were unable to transport
them out Of the state. The drops" we're
finer this season than last, and brought
fancy prices in New York. Several foxes
were sold for S. and Sc. Not many boxes
we're shipped out Of the state though, be-
fore the epidemic was declared and all bust
ness destroyed So that. virtually, tne
drop" crop was an almost total loss. When
the quarantine regulations were suspended
the growers, in their eagerness to dispose Of
the large crop on their hands, glutted
almost every market, and their disposition
of the oranges placed them in little better
condition in pecuniary way than when
they we're prohibited from haadling them.
However, the growers hink that they
will come out even with the world
and are looking to the strawberry and
vegetable crops for their remuneration.
The prospects for a big berry and truck
crop are lattering. Already strawberries
are being shipped to New York and other
northern markets, and are bringing readily
81 and 50 so per quart. Beans are being
shipped in large quantities and bring S. per
crate. AS oranges go out, vegetables come
in, and it is thought good deal will be
realized.

CONSTABLE CoLLMAN's MAN.
Cicero Low to be Tried in the Superior
Court To-day.


Court To-day.
Cicero Low (colored), is to be tried to-day
on an indictment charging him with an
assault with intent to murder Constable
Charles Goldman in November last.
When the case came on for hearing few
DAYS ago Low, who was in one of the ante
rooms, called Goldman in, and after a con-
sultation said he was going to plead guilty.
and when the case was reached Goldman 8
counsel entered the plea Of guilty for his
client. Senten was not thea given by the
court, but "Wednesday night the court had
the prisoner called up to receive sentence,
when to the surprise Of all Low said that
he had not authorized his counsel to plead
guilty to assault with intent to murder, but
to simple assault and ba' terry.
The court then heard statement from
Officer Goldman and from the prisoner, and
decided that the case should be taken up in
the regular order and assigned 1t for hear
ing to-day.
The circumstances Of the case as detailed
by Goldman are as follows: The officer at
tempted to serve a dispossessory warrant
upon Low, who resisted striking Goldman
on the head vito a stick or walk
ing cane, and when the officer
sought to draw his revolver, Low
clutched him, and bit his hand so severely
that the officer dropped his weapon. Low
picked it up and vamosed with it, and it is
believed sold it up the country. Returning
to this city he was gathered in by the police,
and when Goldman was informed Of his
arrest he applied for him on a
warrant for assault with intent to
murder, but Goldman says the negro could
have shot him if be had chosen 70 do so. as
he was helpless after the blow, and that
Low appeared satisfied with the acquisition
of the weapon, and carried it Off without
continuing the assault.
