Washington, March 25;?The Attorney
General has written a letter to the United
States attorneys having control of the
suits against parties charged with fraud
in connection with the operations of the
Preedman's Bureau, requiring them to
promptly and'thoroughly investigate the
alleged frauds, and to institute proceed?
ings in all cases where they are satisfied
that frauds have been committed, and to
make ah early report to the Department
of Justice in detail, giving the name of
each case and whatever action has been
taken.
Senator Robertson did not sever his re?
lations with the Republican caucus, but
attended all its meetings. He refused to
vote for a resolution recognizing the le?

voted for the resolution approving what
was termed the President's protection of
the people of Louisiana from domestic
violence.
It -was finally decided in the Cabinet,
to-day, that Louisiana can have no Fede?

confidently asserted that the announce?

Tbbntok, N. J., March 26.?The pro?
prietor of a billiard saloon here was ar?
rested for refusing to allow negroes to
Slay. The United States Commissioner
isoharged the prisoner and dismissed
the complaint The Commissioner says
it is true that the public may visit a bil?
liard saloon as they may go to a store;
hut every one cannot play there, as
every one cannot buy in certain stores.
The store-keeper may select his cus?
tomers. 1 - Briery place which is accessible
to all is not necessarily a place of public
amusement To say everybody can go
to a billiard saloon, does not determine
its character, nor does the fact that a
license is required moke it a place of
? publio amusement A license is taken
out for a peddler's wagon, but it does not
thereby become a place of public amuse?
ment; there is nothing in the license
idea by which we can determine the true
nature of the place, j A licensed place
may still be so regulated as practically to
exclude the publio.. It is asked, what is
a billiard saloon, if it is not a place of
amusement? I answer at best, and only
in a limited sense, or in a qualified man?
ner, can it be called unlace of publio
amusement,^ It is the private business
of a private party, conducted as it suits
the keeper; it is no more a place of pub?
lio amusement than a drinking saloon.
Evidently, into the latter no man has a
right to go and take a drink without
leave of the proprietor. The applicant
may be refused, and driven away, for rea?
sons best known to the owner, and which
he is not bound to disolose. Tho Civil
Bights Bill has nothing to do, and was
intended to have nothing to do, with
such places.
Baltimore, March 26.?Col. Richard
Thomas, generally called Madame So

the residence of his brother, James
Thomas, in St Mary's County, Maryland.
Col. Thomas became very conspicuous in
tho early part of the late civil war by tho
capture of the steamer St Nicholas. He
took passage in the steamer at Baltimore,
disguised as a French lady, and at night,
assisted by a few of his men on board,
arrested the captain and officers of the

Florida?its Great Advantages in
Productions, Climate, &c.
A recent visit to South Florida, and a
personal investigation into the apparently
wild arid j fabulous stories that I had
heard about the attractions of that sec?
tion! arid; tho enormous profits to be
derived from raising oranges, lemons,
times, bananas and other tropical fruits,
proved so clearly to my raina the truth
of all I bad heard, that I have been in?
duced to go back, with a view of going
into the fruit culture, and with a view of
inducing some of my friends to join
with me in investing a little capital in
the business. I propose to draw their
attention to it in this way:
Until the last four or five years, less
has been known of Florida, to' the gene
nd public, than, perhaps, uny other
State; but it is now become tho great
thoroughfare for Northern visitors, who,
driven by the cold of the North, flock
in thousands to tho bright and balmy
skies and truly delightful climate of tho
"Land of Flowers." it is the great re?
sort, not only of the invalid, who goes to
recruit, in its temperate and delightful
nir, his suffering and exhausted frame,
but the pleasure-seeker here seeks and
finds never ending attractions in the
beautiful scenery of the St. John's and
Oclawaho. When basking in the Trich
mellow warmth of a January sun, and
breathing air fragrant with fruits and
flowers, he may well forget tho cares and
trials of a business world, nnd dream
that he is truly in fairy land. Tho
sportsman, too, here finds ever varying
scenes of pleasure and amusement. The
lakes and rivers are teeming with fish of
every imaginable kind. Game of all
kinds is abundant?deer, turkeys, ducks
and small game of every kind abound.
Tho health of Florida, as shown not only
by the experience of those who live
there, but by the medical statistics of
the United States, ranks pre-eminently
ahead of that of any other State. I
know a contrary opinion has existed, and
that Florida has been supposed to be a
State of chills and fevers. This is not
the case. On tho contrary, with tho ex?
ception of a few locations, near the
swamps, and on a few exceptional water
courses, the health of Florida is as good
as that of the mountains of South Caro?
lina
An article I lately read from the pen of
Edward King, says truly of Florida:
"What poet's imagination, seven times
heated, could paint foliage whoso splen?
dors should surpass that of the virgin fo?
rests of the Oclawoha and Indian Rivers?
What 'fountain of youth' could be ima?
gined more redolent of enchantment
than the Silver Spring, now annually
visited by fifty thousand tourists; the
subtle moonlight, the perfeot glory of
the dying sun, as he sinks below a ho?
rizon fringed with fantastic trees; the
perfume faintly borne from the orange
grove, the mumerous rfiusio of tho waves
along the inlets and the mangrove
covered banks, are beyond words. Its
heats are tempered by the Gulf of
Mexico, on the one hand, and the Gulf
Stream, which flows along the Eastern
coast for three hundred miles, on the
other. Over the level breadth of ninety
miles, between these two waters, blow
odorous and health-giving ocean winds.
There tho Northerner, wont to boast of
the brilliant sun-sets of his own clime,
finds nil his past experiences outdone."
The climate during the winter months is
too well known for it to be necessary for
me to allude to that; but the summer is
proportionately temperate. The peculiar
shape of the State is such that every
Eart of it is visited by the breeze, either
?om the Atlantic or the Gulf of Mexico.
The nights are always cool and pleasant,
and tho extreme heat in mid-summer
never reaches as high us it does further
North. Outside of the city of Jackson?
ville it is a very rare thing to see the
thermometer reach ninety degrees, and
there it only does when caused by reflec?
tion from the sand and water.
It is impossible for me, in this brief
article, to more than allude to the cha?
racter and nature of the fruits of this
section. In extreme South Florida, in?
numerable tropical fruits flourish, many
oven growing wild? oranges, limes, ba?
nanas, cocoanuts, pine apples, gnavas,
and many others. About one hundred
miles South of Jacksonville - is culled
South of the frost line. 'Tis here where
the principal efforts are being made in
fruit raising. Tho whole country seems
adapted to the growth of oranges, lemons
and bananas. Fine apples, cocoanuts
and gnavas are not so successful, unless
in the extreme Southern portion of the
State. In choosing a location, accessi?
bility is the main thing, where shipping
can bo got, without too much inland
transportation. Locations near the navi?
gable rivers and lakes nre, of course,
more valuable than in the interior,
where miles of transportation would he
necessary by wagon. The rapidity with
which tho desirable places are being
purchased and taken up, has increased
the price of lands very much. Many
places that could have been bought live
years ago for fifty cents to two dollars per
acre, aro now worth fifty dollars to ono
hundred dollars. Still many good and
desirablo places can still bo got at from
ten dollars to twenty dollars per acre.
Many Government lands are reserved for
homesteads, and can be had by bona fide
Bettlers for merely tho fees of entry.
Theso lands, after being occupied five
years, are transferred in fee to the settler,
who also has the privilege of commuting,
as it is called, for them, after six months
occupancy; that is, purchase them at
one dollar and twonty-five cents per
acre. These lands cannot be purchased
in any other way.
The section of Florida that is being
settled up moro rapidly than any other
is, perhaps, Orange and Volusia Counties,
along and a few miles from tho St.
John's River. Orange County five years
ago had less than one hundred voters;
now it has one thousand, and rapidly in?
creasing. Between Mellonville ana Or?
lando, the County scat, a distance of over
twenty miles, one is scarcely out of Bight
of a house the whole distance. Settlers
are pouring in on ovory boat, every State
being represented. California, in the
early days of the gold discoveries, did
not show a moro varied or excited popu?
lation than is now seen in tho golden
fruit hearing Counties of Florida. Here,
however, seems ono region, where trou?
ble-brewing politics has no place. The
people all are intent on improving their
condition and reaping a golden reward
for their labors. The orange is the fruit
that is being most generally cultivated.
This is of slow growth, as it takes eight
to ten years before trees planted from the
seed are fully bearing. This is short?
ened, however, by putting out trees of
one to four years old, which aro obtained
at a cost of twenty-fivo to fifty cents
each. The plan now being generally
adopted is to set out sour or wild orange
trees and bud on them. In that way
they are made to bear the third year, and
by the fifth are fully benring. Mature
hearing trees produce 2,000 to 3,000
oranges each?some trees even 5,000 to
8,000. Counting sixty trees to the acre?
most of the old groves have 100?would
give, say 12,000 oranges its a crop per
acre. Counted at ?20, a very low price,
we have $2,400 as the proceeds of the
crop. This may be said to be net, as
crops aro usually sold on the trees and
gathered by the buyer. The general
price paid, too, is $2.50 to $3 per 100.
The demand for Florida oranges is such
thnt years and years must ensue of most
successful cultivation before the supply
can reach the present demand, to say no?
thing of tho increase. At present the
home demand consumes all that are
raised. Few, if any, are sent off for
sale. Northern and Western merchants
are compelled to bo satisfied with the
inferior imported orange, which is as
much inferior to the sweet and jucy
orange of Florida as is our acid, Bour
wild grape to tho cultivated Isabella or
Black Hamburg. Prices of Florida
oranges arc much more apt to improve
than to decline in the next few years.
Now, as an 'investment, where can or
how can money be invested as safely or
as profitably as in raising oranges? $500
invested in that way will certainly, in five
or six years, yield ten-fold. The crops
are certain; not subject to the doubts and
uncertainties of the planters of rice,
cotton or sugar; but can be relied on as
regular and certain. It is true, several
years must elapse before any material re?
sults can be had; but the time is not
very long, and the results proportion?
ately large. The country is one pleasant
and delightful beyond" description to
live in; living is cheap, and, while it
may be an El Dorado for the poor man,
it has charms and attractions that wealth
can make no place surpass it. A compa?
ratively small investment, that promises
such brilliat results, is in the reach of all,
or most of us, and should not be ne?
glected. Deflecting over this, and know?
ing at the same time how difficult it is to
make up our minds to move to a new
section, breaking up all our old ties and
associations, and also how useless is an
investment entrusted to ordinary agents,
and at a distance from our own ininiedf^
ate supervision and attention, I have de?
termined and hereby propose to act as
agent for such friends as are able and
willing to invest in this business of
planting out orange orchards, taking
charge of the business and giving it my
personal attention; doing all this on
shares or for one-third to one-half of the
property improved. The cost of plant?
ing an orange grove is about $100 per
acre, exclusive of the land. I propose to
choose a desirable location, with special
view to shipping facilities, pleasant and
healthy location, and in the line of the
present wave of improvement This I
would improve as rapidly as possible,
planting it out, with special reference to
dividing up in a fair and satisfactory
manner amongst those interested; giving
it my personal earn and attention, until
such time as tk~. property begins to pay
a profit, or the different interested ones
take charge themselves?I taking one
half of the property for my work, care
and attention, and turning over half to
those furnishing means for investment.
In this way, parties with but small capi?
tal can secure a valuable property, free
from the heavy and uncertain expense of
keeping a regular paid agent, whose
annual expenses would exceed the first
cost of the property. La this way,
parties investing, say even $200, would
receive, say one acre of an improved
grove, worth, as soon as it begins to pro?
duce, or anywhow in five years, $2,000
to $3,000, and, in ten years, $10,000.
These figures may look excessive, but
they are not an aco below profits that
have been made in this business within
the last few years. I propose to make
improvements in such a manner as to
enable each and every person interested
in it to take possession of their portion
at any time they may so desire; planting
out the groves in such a manner as to
make divisions practicable and easy for
each and every one, and also with a view
of giving a desirable location to those in?
tending to make it their homes. I rely
confidently on tho knowledge that my
friends and the people generally of South
Carolina have of me, that not only with
anything entrusted to my care be pro?
perly attended to, but that the same real
energy and attention will be given to
their business as if it were exclusively
my own.
Any inquiries or further information
that my bo wanted, will be promply fur?
nished by addressing mo at Quincv,
Florida, or to the care of Col. L. D.
Childs, Carolina National Bank, Colum?
bia, S. C. Partioa sending money for
investment can do so to Col. Childs,
Columbia. Any sums from $100 and up?
wards will be invested. It should be
borne in mind, nlso, that should at any
time, even after but one year, parties
wish to withdraw, it con be done at a
profit JAMES G. GLEBES.
