BADLY SOLD.

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Tribune tells the following story
Of the recent opening Of box of treasure
which has been carefully locked up in
the Treasury vaults for more than three
years in despite Of unremitting efforts on
the part certain sharp people TO get at its
contents. The story, as told, is as fol-
lows:
Several months after the close Of the
war a tin box was given TO Gen. Spinner,
Treasurer Of the United States 10y Mr.,
Stanton, thea Secretary Of War, for safe
keeping. The box was said to contain
about $4,000 in gold, and Gen. Spinner
carefully locked it away in the vaults Of
the Treasury. About a year ago a certain
National Bank suspended, with a heavy
Indebtedness TO the Government A United
States Quartermaster, who had got into
trouble in his official capacity, was Indebted
to this bank in the sum Of $4,000, and
the box deposited with Spinner was said to
contain that amount of money belonging
to said Quartermaster. The bank engaged
the services of an eminent lawyer Of New
York City as Its attorney, and he immedi-
ately began proceedings TO have the box
opened and The money taken GU. and
paid over to the Government, to
liquidate 4 part of the banks indebted.
ness. The attorney has been striving for
more than year 10 accomplish his object,
but il was not until to-day that success
attended his efforts. He had been to Sec
rotary McCulloch, who referred him to
Gen. Grant. Gen. Grant hadn't the author
ity, but thought Stanton was the person.
Mr.. Stanton referred him back to MIR. Nc.
Culloch, who asked him to consider
Several months thus passed, and Mr..
McCulloch laid the case before the Presi-
dent, and he thought it fit subject for a
Cabinet consultation. 1t was accordingly
discussed in Cabinet meeting, but before
conclusion could be reached the impeach-
ment complication occurred, and changes
were made in the Cabinet. 1t was then
found necessary to bring the subject before
the Cabinet again with its new members.
Thi4 was done, and it was decided that the
power TO open the box lay with the Secre-
tary of War. TO day the War Secretary
detailed Gen. Hardee of his staff to accom-
pany the bank attorney aud have the con-
tents of the box examined. They found
that the rules of the Treasury Department
required law officer of the United States
TO be a witness, and Assistant District At
rney Wilson was sent for. Gen. Spinner
hen summoned several of his confidential
clerks as additional witnesses, and the
whole party, headed by the hopeful and
triumphant attorney, went to the vaults,
The box was brought ont from a dusty
corner, for inspection. It was locked and
sealed but there was no key. After some
delay a locksmith was secured and the box
was opened, and found 10 contain an old

The Movement in Favor Of Female

Boston, Nov. 19.-There was a large
attendance on The re-assembling Of the
Woman's Rights Convention. Rev. jar
Freeman Clark advocated educating the
sexes together. Addresses followed by
Charles Barnard, Frederick Douglass and
Hon. w. Frank Bird, expressive Of sym
pathy with the movement 10 establish suf'
frage for women.
The following embraces the general scope
of the resolutions adopted: We invite the
Republican party 10 drop the walchWord
Of manhood suffrage, and the Democratic
party its metto of white mans govern
ment, and write in an amendment to the
Constitution extending suffrage to all men
and women, Is the inalienable birthright Cf
every American citizen.
Senator Wilson spoke and expressed
himself strongly in favor of female suf-
frage, but he did not want that or any
other question put forward till the Southern
question was fully settled.
He had no doubt Congress would au-
thOrize colored men to vote in every State,
but as some good men doubted, it was pro-
posed the coming winter to put forward an

the political dogma, that colored man has
the right to vote in every State. With 260
Legislators in our favor and against ua,
our success was probable. That done, the
female suffrage question would nave
clear sway, and be aided by the success of
the other, would stand better chance of
a speedy triumph, because men would not
feel prejudicial against their own sisters,
lovers, mother ard friends, as they had
against the Colored men. Therefore make
the c0lored suffrage sure first before taking
another stpp.

The Superior Court OF Wilkes county,

fourth Monday in September to second
Monday in November, met in Washington
on last Monday, Judge Gibson ofAugusta
presiding. The Grand Jury was empanSled
and organized, and having retired to their
room. sent in the following document to

JUDGE GIBsOS-Sir: The under

being present, hereby make known to
you that they will serve at the present
term if SO required to do. Yet they feel
bound to say to you that your presence
IN this county as judicial officer, to hold
a Court, Is not acceptable to the people.
The part taken by you, whilst hold
ing Judicial commission, in holding con-
vention at Chicago, in May Of this year,
and then, upon your return, csnvassing

This paper was signed by the foreman
and all the members Of the Grand Jury.
The Hon. William Gibson received and
real the little lines, but it appears he
could not see it, The form Of holding
the Court was gOle through with, but no
business was transacted, so fax as We can
learn.
There was never = more acceptableact
to the people Of Wilkes county, done by
a Grand Jury, than this. The body at
this term numbered twenty-three Of our
worthIest and most respected citizens.
They spoke a notorious truth when they
said that our people have lost their con-
hdence in the honor and integrity Of this
man who, by his degraded aud abandoned
polite, judicial career has soiIed the
robes OF justice, which in our county has
never before been worn by one Of such
stripe. We do not want him here to ad-
minister upon our rights, and it is well,
at least, that our thieves and felons
should 60 unwhipped Of Justice as that
he should be at large among Us. No
wretch can be lower than one who de-
grades high Office to partisan purposes.

1t is remembered that the new Con-

ence to the reconstruction measures of

pie, was voted down by crushing ma
jority. Nothing daunted, however, a

adoption of the new Constitution by the
people and proclaiming the Radical can

WAsHINGTON, Nov. IL, 1S6S.-Tke
report that Gen. Grant had gone to West
Point, to be present at an examination Of
his son, was tale cOncocted as a sham to
cover up and conceal the Generals real
movements. IL was certainly desirable
to get out Of Washington, and thus avoid,
at least Tor time, the hungry swarm Of
IoyaP' otdce-seekers now flOcking in
mere from all quarters Of the country;
ana It was also perfectly convenient to
visit West Point, and thus furnish a good
excuse for absenting himself from the
NATIONAL Capitol; bat it is well under
stood among his friends here that Gen.
dranps purpose in going North was to
ieei' ever so gently, the public pulse, and
particularly to consult with certain par>
ties IN the city Of New York, relative to
financial and ether matters before COM
mlttinS himself in any way to men OF
measures. As soon as the Radical poll
tlclans OF the country shall have assem-
oled here, tremendous pressure will be
brought to bear upon Gen. Grant to force
him into full recognition and endorse
ment OF their widest schemes, even be-
lore the meeting Of the electoral colleges
IN the several States, and should he fail
TO yield to their views, it is openly threat
ened to have the electoral vote cast for
schuyler COlfax for President. Gen.
Grant has become fully aware of the
designs upon him, and he is now absent
from this city preparing himself to meet
the issue.
There has been but little speculation,
for some days past, on the new CabiuvG.
1t seems 70 be conceded that SchofeJd
will hold over and that Farragut will be
placed in charge Of the Navy Depart
ment. The State Department. is gener-
ally assigned to Stanton, and the At
.orney- Generalship to Judge Holt. The
disposition of the Treasury Department
will probably be determined during Gen.
irants present visit to New York, popu-
ar opinion here being divided between
Mr.. Cisco and Senator Morgan. The
Pacific coast claims the Interior Depart
nent and will probably get it, while the
'ostotice Department may be awarded
o Massachusetts or Illinois. If Gen.
'chOiield should not be retained in the
'abinet, then it IS understood the port
bio of war will be rendered to Senator
wilson. Gen. Banks is spoken Of for
