Plunder.

In June 1865, there were received at
the Treasury Department, three large
wooden boxes, said to contain valuables.
turned over by the War Department for
safe keeping. These boxes have since
lain in the vaults OF the Treasury, but
were to-day opened through the efforts
Of a United States Senator, some of
whose continents were supposed TO be
interested. A committee composed OF
officers Of the War and Treasury De
partments witnessed the carrying out ol
the joint order Of the two Departments.
The boxes were found to contain exceed.
ingly valuable invoices of diamonds,
pearls, necklaces, watches, earrings,
brooches, rings, chains, seals, and ali
manner of rare and expensive iewelry TO
the value Of many thousands Of dollars.
The most valuable property, however,
which the boxes contained, was a very
large amount of solid silverware, con.
sisting Of pitchers, salvers, spoons, knives
urns, cups, and all kinds OF plate, some
of which was thought to have been more
than n hundred years old One of the
boxes contained some very rich wearing
apparel for ladies-silks, velvets, laces
&c.-besides an incredible amount oi
Confederate notes and bonds, and notes
Of State banks. There was also a small
amount of specie, both gold and silver.
The boxes were about the size of ordi.
nary dry-goods boxes, and the value Of
their contents is variously estimated AT
from $1,000 to 100000. Many of the
articles contained the family crest, and
all were of the finest most costly descrip.
tion. The boxes were sent by the Pro
yost Marshal General of the Army o.
the Tennessee to the War Department
in this city, and Secretary Stanton turned
them over to Treasurer Spinner, subject
of future action. The Yaluables are sup
posed to have been taken possession o.
by General SherInan's men in Georgia
and other States, where they had been
abandoned by the fleeing inhabitants.
In some cases they were taken from
banks, which had ceased to do business
upon the approach of the Federal army.
The officers of both departments are un.
certain of their duty in the matter of the
disposition OF the property. Some hold
that it should he returned under proper
restrictions and proof to the owners, il
they can be found. Others believe the
articles belong to the Government under
the laws of Congress, and that they
should be sold and the proceeds covered
in the Treasury, while still others affirm
that neither the War nor the Treasury
Department has any authority in the
premises, and that special act of Con
gress should be called for Nothing as
yet has been done, and valuables are re
turned to the vaults of the Treasury.

A Remarkable Declaration.
The Pail Mall Gazette says:

Inc I1uH M0H Gdzette says:
"Count Bismarck, a statesman whose
foresight and thorough knowledge of
politics even his enemies do not attempt
to deny, made few days ago remark
which will appear surprising to most
Englshmen. Speaking to Russian
diplomatist, he said: Il do not fear your
armies; i fear the influence of your com
munal institutions on European society,"
Accustomed as we are to regard Russia
as the type OF despotically-covered coun
try, II may seem strange 10 find it looked
upon by great statesman as hot-bed of
communism. The fact is easily explained.
Cor nunal institutions, in certain sense,
have always been the rule in Russia.
The land surrounding each village is
divided among the families in proportion
to the number of members--a distribu-
tion being made every ten years--and
the villages, as n body, is responsible
for the payment of yearly sum to the
freeholder. Under such a system it is
evident that the industrious must pay
for the idle, and that incentive to indi-
vidual enterprise is very much weakened.
That the idle form the majority seems to
be shown by the following fact: Since
the emancipation law has been passed,
enabling the inhabitants of any village,
by demand signed by two-thirds of the
heads Of families, to become, on payment
of sum fixed by official valuation, free
holders of the land they occupy. In all
Russia such demand has not yet been
made. While the peasant was serf his
position was but little studied by for
eigners; but since the emancipation the
expopents Of the doctrines of commun.
ism have been watching with much in.
terest the trial of their principles among
a free peasantry. They have as yet de,
rived but small comfort from the con
temptation, the most noticeable effect
being an enormous increase of drunken,
ness" '''' ''' p" i'NN i-"'

1t is because Mr.. Beecher has so many
remarkable points and ways that people

"Is it true that Plymouth church is
about to be enlarged 2"
"No," said MIR. Beecher
"Do you, then, intend to build anew?"
l inquired.
"No," said he, "the project is broached

A SrRANGLED JoKE.-A young man
seated at dinner, the other day, said to
his wife:
''Ellen, if you are good at guessing,
here is conundrum for you: If the
devil should lose his tail, where would
he go to get another one?"
After some time spent in guessing, she
gave it up.
"Wen,h said he, "where they retail

Eager to get it off, she hastened to a
lady friend, with:
ooh, Marian! / have such n nice con.

know you can't guess it: If the devil
should lose his tail, where would he go

joke. - ,t,t-
