A singular discovery of treasure-trove
has been made on the sea-beach- midway
between Seaton Barew and West Hartle-
pool England. I'm eonsequeIice of "a very
boisterous sea rolling on the coast, all the
snrface sand, has been washed from. the
beach forupWards of a mile on the West
HartlepOOl sands, and layers of peat and
gravel are now exposed, in the midst of
which the discovery has been made. On a
Sunday afternoon, a fortnight ago, some
workingmensgere walking along the beach,
and being astonished at the unusual ap-
pearance of the surface by the deposit of
such a quantity of peat, curiosity prompted
them to turn over a portion of it with their
walking sticks, and they disclosed several
coins, which were embedded in the peat
The coins were quite black. but on being
subjected to little rubbing they discovered
they were Spanish silver dollars, about the
size Of an English Gro own~piece. A further
search was made and large number were
found, but as the tide approached the scene
of their labor they had to desist until the
water reeeded. In the meantime a report
of The discovery spread about the town, and
Hundreds of persons hocked down on the
beach to- search for the treasure. Some
persons are reported to have obtained ninety
or one hundred of the dollars.
Altogether several hundreds, ifnot thous-
ands, of the coins have been recovered, but
as persons are generally not over willing to
acknowledge the number they have fou nd,
proper estimate cannot be made. The
coins are of the reign of Carolus the third
or fourth, dated from 1920 to 1904, and are
4 in good stateof preservation. Some gold
coins, gold erucifix, aud gold ring have
also been picked up embedded amongst the
peat. The deposit of so many coins at this
place is accounted for by the fact that in
the year 1929 vessel called the Duck" OF
London, came ashore at this particular
spot. The wreck was purchased by Messrs,
Sheraton, Whitelock and Thompson, and
when it was broken to pieces about three
hundred pounds worth of Spanish dollars
were found concealed in the timbers of the
ship The vessel had formerly been engag-
ed in the slave trade, and belonged to a
Spanish port, but she was captured by an
/ English rnan-of-war, and afterwards sold
to gentleman at Woolwich.

THE Democracy have charged Butler
with being wholesale spoonthief and the
impeachment has been indorsed by a loyal
member of Congress bingham, of Ohio),
upon the floor of Congress. The Democ-
racy have also charged upon all concerned
in the execution of Mrs. Surratt, that her
trial was mockery, and her strangulation
murder! This was most damning accusa-
ition, but it has been fully sustained by a
subsequent decision of the United States
Supreme Court, and reiterated by Butler
on the floor Of Congress But the most as
founding fact connected with the whole
matter is, that of all the unserupulous liars
whom the AbolitiOnists have sent to Con-
gress, not one has yet had the ''cheek" to
make public denial either of the allega-
tion that Butler is thief, or that Mrs. Sur
ratt was deliberately murdered in cold
blood! This is infamy, prompt, paIpable,

RANDOM THOUGHTS No. 40.
BY TIE EDITOR.

Next Tuesday will be the election. Are you all
ready to vote7 I am. l shall vote for every man
on the Union ticket because believe they are
oil worthy men, and true representatives Of the
principles which believe to be correct. be-
lleve the spirit of rebellion and secession Is not
dead especially among the leaders OF the north
ern Democracy. They desire to put in office

tion under Government which they fought TO

LAST WORDS.

The last words We have to say TO our
friends are these: Gs TO the election
edrN. Vote for every man on the tick
ct. Vote for the amendment. At two
o'clock in the afternoon, commence
sending for those who have not arrived
at that hour. Bring in the aged and
feeble, Send buggies for them. We
need tr0y Union cote in Jackson county,
especially for State Senator. Let not
10 good a man Gen. Jones be defeated
by such man Jim. Emmitt. We must
secure the election Of J. Edward Jouea
and Gen. Wells S. Jones A vote for
DUNCAN or Emmitt is vote for Vallan-
digham
Let every naturalized citizen take his
papers with him. They must be pro.
duced if demanded. Keep out fraudu-
lent votes. Ever since the Kansas
frauds, the Democracy have been trsach-
erous. Have your best men to watch
the polls, and challenge all strangers.
Have your trustees we'll posted, and the
election laws open before them. Do
your duty, and all will be well.

PENETENTIARY RTRDs.

A great howl was raised about Ssna-
tor Wade saying in his speech at Ports
mouth, that when a person looked upon
one of the repudiating Democracy, he
looked upon Penitentiary bird. Wade
was right.
The Chillicothe Advertiser says that
Mr.. Bundy said in speech at that place
that bonds were in the market, and if
they are good thing, why do not peo-
pie go and buy them. In answer to this
the Advcrdser says that when men have
nothing to buy bonds with, how can
they buy themi Now the same argu-
ment holds good as to every other kind
OF property, the farmers horse, for in
stance, as we'll as his bond. The man
who would want to rob the holder of a
bond, would steal his horse, if it were
not for fear ofthe penitentiary. Verify
Mr.. Wade was right when he called
these fellows penitentiary birds.

THE AMENDMENT.

We are satisfied that if the friends
Of the amendment will do their duty
that 1t can be carried in Jackson county
by a handsome majority. Let us all
work for this. If yeu want to make
those men rejoice who rejoiced when
the Union armies were defeated, vote
against the amendment you want
TO make the same men rejoice who re-
jOiced when they murdered President
Lincoln, then vote against the amend
ment
But if you want TO do what will be
pleasing in the sight of God and all
good men, vote for the amendment
If you want to do unto others as you
would that others should do unto you
under like circumstances, vote for the
amendment. If you want to adj a
few thousand votes Of good loyal and
true men to your party, vote for the
amendment. If you want to perform
duty which you will never regret
vote for the amendment, and urge your
nSighbor to do the same.

demands of the white man as to intel
ligence or moral character, and seeing
as we do every negro with a book in
his hand or pocket, wa must not plead
the unfitness Of the negro for citizen
ship because of his want of education.
No man intelligent enough to be a
reader Of the Western, will confound
the question now submitted to the peo-
pie with that other one of social equali-
ty, nor will he see in the adoption of
the amendment any particular danger of
amalgamation. The bleaching faces
of the race of slaves at the South, and
the rarity in the North of intermarriages
between the races, or even of illicit CO.
habitation between them, show that as
we give the colored people their right
ful place in society miscegenation de-
clines, and all liability to It.
We speak to Christian men, not in
the interest of party, but for the sake
of God and human rights. We plead
for the amendment as we believe in Di-
vine sovereignty and the inevitable evil
consequences Of Withholding what is
due to the injured African. We speak
for ourselves as much as for them, be-
lieving the woe that will follow the
loss of this amendment will he far
heavier to US than to them. Can we
not be wise in time A.? or must we pay
the last farthing, shed the full measure
of tears and blood in expiation of our
long continued wrongs, before we shall
believe there is Divine earnestness in
our present discipline7 1t is possible
there are men who can go from their
Bibles and their knees to the polls and
deny the colored citizen his rights, but
they are few. From prayer to the
polls, then, and the golden rule will not
be crucifed by prejudice or party. The
Church of God has it within its power
to speak Ohio free on the second Tues
day in October, Upon her will rest,
then, the responsibility of defeat, and
she will be accountable for all the con-
sequences, as will every individual
Christian aud philanthropist to the ex-
tent of his influence in the premises.
We wait in hope, but yet with trem-
bling.

COMMON PLEAS JUDGE.

We see in the Portsmouth Times that
Mart. Grain of Portsmouth is to be run
by the copperheads of this District for
Common Pleas Judge, against Judge
johnson. Grain is one of the Ports
mouth turn-coats. During the war he
got big pay for doing nothing at Camp
Portsmouth. Now he is a copperhead.
1t is only necessary to warn Union
men of this sly trick. See that the
name of w. w. Johnson is on your
ticket. He will be elected.

YAILANllIGaHAM.

The great Vallandigham will be in
Jackson to-day, Thursday Demo
Gratis in the country are trying to deny
that he is the great leader of the party.
But it will not do. He is the candidate
of the party for United States Senator.
This day the Democracy will come in
by thousands to see their great leader
the man who desires to have the consti-
tuition of the United States so amended
that the country shall be divided into
four sections, and making secession a
constitutional provision-the man who
boasted that he had said he never would
vote one dollar to put down the rebel
lion, and who never did so vote. The
same man who was sent across the lines
during the war-the same man who was
defeated for Governor by majority Of
over one hundred thousand
Soldiers, do you want this man sent
to the U. S. Senate, to effect by legisla-
ton what his friends failed TO effect by
warf Ifyou do, vote for Levi DUNCAN.
