20, repeats after October, taxes on sales i'm
posed by present laws, except on tobacco,
cigars, spirits and wines; also, repeats the
tax on legacies and SUGGESTIONS. All the
stamp laws left as at present, except that
stamps on promissory notes, receipts for
any amount, and canned and preserved
fish are repealed. The income clause is
amended so asto exempt actual house rent.
The changes are very many, reducing rev.

tariff to nearly its present rates.

A PROSPECTIVE SPLIT.
The Breach Between Congress and
the President.

the President.
W, shing o dispatch to the Cincinnati CONNER
eiall Gays:
There is a good deal of comment on tho
message tonight, and there is no miStak-
ing the general temper which it has engen-
dered, and the current o%ffeelin & is against
the President in this undertaking to die.
tate thu action Of Congress. This is the
more apparent when it is considered that
the question comes up in the House to-
morrow, as the special order, by arrange
ment made some time ago. II is held
that the message might have been proper,
had it been sent weeks ago, but the Presi-
dent is censurcd by leading Republicans
in both Houses for the uufairneSs in at
tempting to force his opinions upon Con-
gress at such an inoppOrtune time, being
the day preceding that on which action is
to be taken. Both of the Foreign Com
mittees have considered the subject care
fully, for many months, and have had bet
ter facilities for knowingthe facts han the
President has had, and there is no doubt
that some Of the strongest men in both
Houses are greatly incensed, and it is not
unlikely that this feeling will find en-
phatic expression at the proper time, in
both Houses.
There is certainly much ~outspoken dis
satisfaction, tonight, from the members
and Senators, who are not in the habit Of
jumping at conclusions, or of giving ex-
preston to their feelings without any cause
whatever. The effect the message will
have upon Congress can not be now fore
shadowed.
Many hold that the position the Presi
dent has assumed is ~impregnable, while
his judgement of the proprieties is MOI
commended by any, except, it may be, by
Mr.. Sumner and few of the other ex.
treme partisans.
The debates upon the subject will be
extremely interesting, in any event, and
the Democrats will throw the weight Of
their influence to produce the breach be.
tween the President and Congress which
is beginning to be feared byjudicious men.
The attitude which the President has
assumed in connection with the San Do.
miDgo question will not tend to strengthen
him in bis Cuban policy, but rather to
weaken hin, and those who feared that
Grants administration would not be pos.
tive enough, are fast changing their opin-
ions. There is a strong party, especially
in the Senate, who have taken direct issue
with the President on the San Domingo
subject, and this party, added to that
which disagreed with him in his Cuban
policy, will develop a strength which will
at least compel the country to contemplate
the dublic condition Of affairs with earn
estness and deliberation.

The Buried Treasure and Archives
of the ConfederaCy,

The Theta Delta Chi Fraternity, which
met at the AstOr House, New York, in
February last, listened to an grafton by
Wm. L. Stone, who, in the course of some
interesting reminicenses of the rebellion
spoke of David Tilghman as tho officer Sc
lected by the Confederate Government to
take charge of its treasure and archives.
On the morning of Mr.. Davis capture,
says Mr.. Stone, Tilgman waited upon him
at his bedside, and said: "Mr. Davis, by
this map you may see hat the enemy is
here such and such is the situation of
the roads. If you come with me you will
be able to leave the country in safety. If
you donot, you will be captured in five
hours" To Mr.. Davis replying, CURLY,
that he "knew his own business best"
Tilgman continued. every we'll, sir
have been entrusted with the treasure and
archives, and propose to secure them,
even at the peril of the loss of your favor
and of my life. | shall start at once by
Itheroute [ have marked out"
The result is we'll known. In less than
five hours Mr., Davis was a prisoner; but
the archives were safe. When, a few
weeks after, in the recesses of the forest,
Tilgman learned that all was lost, he alone.
and with his own hands, buried the treas
ure and archives; and unless, during the
four days that elapsed between parting
with me and his untoward death, he re.
vealed the spot, The secret as to the where
abouts of the archives is forever buried
and as long as they shall be kept from the
pen-of man so long shall the story be q
monument to our brothers answering f.
deity. This is the true history of thu
archives of the Southern Confederacy
although rumors are from time to time
set afoat of their being now in the vaults
of this bank, and now Of that.

-THE FINAL BURIAL IN PoErs' Cor
NER-AN UNosrENTATIoUs FUNERAL
TIE MULTIrUDEs THAT FLoCKED TO
THE ABBEY.
LoNpoN, June l4.-At 6 O'Clock this
morning the remains of Charles Dickens
were conveyed from his residedce at Cabs
Hill by train, to the Charing Gross station.
There waited at the station a plain herse,
without the usual English trappings, and
three plain coaches.
In the first coach were placed the chill
dren of the deceased author, Charles and
Harry Dickens, Miss Dickens, and Mrs.
Charles Collins. In the second we're Miss
Hogarth, the sister-in-law, and Mrs. Aus
ten, the sister of Dickens, Mrs. Charles
Dickens, Jr., and John Forster. In the
third coach were Frank BOurd, Charles
Collins, Mr., Owery, Wilkie Collins and
Edmond Dickens.
The entire party were attired in deep
but simple mourning, without bands or
scarfs. There was no crowd at the Char
ing Cross station, and the procession was
driven at Once to Westminster Abbey,
where the remains were received by Dean
Stanley and other officials, and placed in
the Poets Corner, at the foot of Handel
and at the head of Sheridan, with Macau-
ley and Cumberland on either side.
The usual flowers were StreWn nnon tho
bier. Dean Stanley read the burial SER
vice, the coffin was deposited in its final
resting place, and the funeral of Dickens
was ended.
On the coffin plate we're inscribed the
words:

Amos I. Alderman is a native of New
Hampshire, but for the past thirty years has
been a resident Of Georgia. During the
war Mr.. Alderman was by no means I'M
favorably disposed towards the Confedora-
cy, but with the initiation of the Congreg-
sional schemes of reconstruction, took
sides with Ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown
in favor Of an acceptance by the State of
that plan, and a reorganization upon it.
On the assembling of the Georgia recon-
stIuction convention, he accordingly ap-
peared as a delegate, and was influential
in the deliberations of that body inside the
hall, as ex-governor Brown was outside.
Between the two the violent factionists Of
the convention were kept in check, and
the league of the carpet-baggers and ne.
groes, which in every other Of the recon
strastion conventions throughout the South
had full sway, was %overpowered by array
ing against it the home reconstruction, or,
as it is otherwise termed, the scalawag ell
ement.
On the Legislation OF the body, Mr..
Alderman exercised q marked influence,
and in some respects, the changes brought
about by him, in the constitution Of the

But few people have anything like an
adequate sense of the vast cumulativepow-
er Of compound interest. Some mathe-
matically inclined person recently pub
lished in u New York paper the amount of
a cent supposed to be put out at compound
interest at the birth of Christ and con-
tinued at interest up to 1870. The amount
thus stated was expressed by forty-fve
consecutive figures, which, however, even
at that, seems to be far from the mark.
Some one else has gone te the trouble of
making the calculation. and finds the
amount expressed in f~orty-eight figures,
thus: $2,O9S, 49,, 469, 72l ,77O,2sO,5l7,-
3S7,OO7,36l, 94l $4,000, 773,447. So or
nearly three times the amount given by
the New York paper. 1t is supposed that
the New York mathematician discharged
some of the decimals in the beginning of
his computation, for it is evident that even
the billionth part of a cent must produce
an sum at compound interest
during 1870, if in that time a cent would
produce an amount incomprchensible by
the human mind, and which the mathe.
maticians tell us would exceed the value
of seven quadrillions of globes of pure gold,
each of the size of our earth, and rating
the gold at $50 an ounce j.! The amount
of a cent at simple interest for the same
time, 1870 years, would be but $l.l2.
