The 'Lant.e Treasure.
UNEARTHING THE LoNG-BURIED Dors.
Looms OF THE GREAT
GULF PIRATE.

The Galveston News says tin box
containing letters written. in Spanish
was found in an old deserted building
in that city about the first of last Sep.
TENDER. The letters, it is said, re.
vealed the locality Of treasure buried
by Lafiitte, and led to the fitting out o
an expedition, which departed from
Galveston in search of the valuables
on the night Of the 26th of last month.
The report given of the contents of the
letters, and of the result SO far of the
expedition, follows NJ
They proved to he a letter written
by Pedro DeQuinla at New Orleans,
bearing date of March IS, 1920, inclos-
ing two others, dated March 6 and 10
the last two seeming to have been
written by members of LafIitte's band,
though the names were SO indistinct
thRtthey could not be made out.
The pnrport Of the letter of the 2stl.
was, that the band we're TO have a
final meeting at Bayou DeLargc, ON
the Gulf coast, and in case OF a failure
to reft an expedition, they were to
proceed to the Island near Galveston
where the treasure was lid, and there
to make a fair division of it. On the
back Of one of the letters was found "a
well-executel plan of the Island in
Question.
The word tTreasure'' was written
across the plan, and a cross was made
in the center of the word treasure, ms
though indicating the precise locality
of the buried gold. At the bottom, in
one corner, the wo: Il, Laf,itte was
plainly written. The whole thing
created such a fever of excitement in
the minds of the gentleman and n few
friends to whom he showed the docu-
ments that a secret expedition was
fitted ont and visited the spot, which
was found without great amount Of
trouble. Then followed the expedi-
ton Of the Goth of last month.
sa4Af ese e9s # sa s''f Ras,r aa Fl.
among other things he brought with
him, were quite a number ofdoubloons
and a small diamond cross, the jewels
set in silver.
These were found in making ex-
cavations, and had evidently been
placed in wooden box when the
treasure was hid. A ships compass
and q number Of tools for digging have
also been fonnd. We are in honor
bound to stop at this point, bnt hope,
within the coming week, to give the
full result Of the expedition. Suffice
1t to say that the indications warrant
the prosecution of the work.

CHARLESTON, S. G., Sept. 7.-Twenty-six
of the most prominent citizens OF Spartan.
burg county, Including the United States
commissioner, United States assessor, pro-
bate judge, sheriff, clerk Of court, and tho
county Representatives in both branches Of
the Legislature, publish over their own
signatures the following letter:
"SPARTANBURG, S. c., Sept. 4.
Hon. John Scott, Chairman Huklu1 Com.
mite, &C.:
We, the undersigned, citizens of the
said State and county, having seen through
the newspapers that you had received a
statement and aflidavits that outrages upon
various citizens had been committed In
this county since the committee, of which
you are chairman, left the said county, and
that YOU had thereupon recommended the
proclamation of martial law In this county,
feel constrained to make the following
statement:
We have made dillgent inquiry, and have
been unable to hear Of single outrage
having been committed in this county since
your committee left it. On the contrary,
the county is in state of profound peace
and quiet"
The Spartan, q county newspaper, In
publishing the above, says:
"This statement ought to be sufficient to
prove to the mind of Senator Scott that he
has been imposed upon by the communities
tons and atdavits upon which he POUNDS
his statements made to the President and
his recommendation that martial law be de-
cared in the county.
Furthermore, we learn that leading Rad
icals here admit that no outrage has oc-
CURED since the kukluX Committee was
here"

The New York City Financial Inn.
brOeilO.

NEW YORK, Sept. Large numbers Of
citizens assembled this morning in the SUI
preme Court chambers, Judge Barnard on
the bench, as it was understood that an ap.
plication would be made on behalf Of John
Foley, as q taxpayer, for an injunction
to restrain the Mayor, Comptroller, &c.,
from paying out money for the expenses of
the city and county government, except
out of the balance left OF the appropriation
of the last Legislature, after paying the
State taxes and public debt, principal and
interest, due in the current year.
Ex-Judge Barrett made lengthy argu-
ment in support of the application, claim
ing that the state Of affairs required this
action.
At the close of his address Judge Barnard
said: "You are entitled to your order,
sir ;" thus granting the relief asked for.
The executive committee of citizens anu
taxpayers held second meeting to-day
forty members present. After some discus
sion motion to make the sessions of the
committee private was adopted, and the
reporters were bowed ont, the chairman
informing them that the secretary Of the
committee would make all communications
necessary to the public press.

ALEXANDRIA, VA, Sept. 6, 1871.

Editors Dispatch,-I see al article going
the rounds OF our state papers, credited to
you, touching the terms on which bank
rupt discharges can be obtained. You say,
after quoting the amendment Of July 14!h,
1870:
"Thus it will be seen that fifty cents on
the dollar will only be required 70 be paid
on deLts contracted since January 1, 1867,
and that for all debts contracted before that
time the bankrupt can have full discharge,
even though he be able TO pay no per
centum whatever"
AS this is not strictly correct, allow me to
say that the law, as amended, does not re-
quire the bankrupt to PAY fifty cents on the
dollar of debts contracted since January l..
1869, but only that he surrender assets equal
TO fifty per centum Of debts so contracted
wherein he is q principal (not security
debtor, and which are proved against his
estate. You will see wide difference prac-
tically between assets equal to 90 per cent.
and cash payment Of fifty per cent; also,
between the principal and the security
debts of a bankrupt, as we'll as between
debts proved and not proved. The condl-
tons of bankruptcy are easier than your
article teaches.
Yours respectfully,
CHARLES WHITTLESEY.

tee appointed for the purpose at previous
meeting, and earnest speeches were made
by Maj. Hill. G. W. billiard, Esq. and
others, in which the vital importance Of the
proposed route to the interest OF the CON-
munity was fully set forth. After which,
the resolutions were unanimously adopted
as follows:
1St. That we request the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad Company to survey tho
route north Of james river for the proposed
" straight shoot" from Clifton Forge to
Richmond. as we believe that an air line
between those points would net run south
Of said river, and that this locality affords q
practicable location eighteen or twenty
miles nearer than the prevent indicated line
10y way Of Lynchburg, as well as saving the
expense Of two bridges across the James.
I'd. That we believe that along this line
the country is much more densely popula-
ted and productive than the proposed
South.side line, aud that the increasing
prosperity and growing population of this
great valley will require railroad at no
very distant day, and that the wants of the
people will constrain them TO build one
through this section should the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad Company decline this
route, and when built from its locality, 1t
will command the travel and frelghtS OF
one OF the very best sections OF Virginia.
Sd. That if the aforementioned survey
Is made we promise cordially to render
whatever aid we can, and to extend the
Inequalities Of our section TO the engineer
ing corps; and we believe that if this route
is selected the people along the line will
readily give the right ol-way through their
lands.
4.h. That notice OF this meeting and
copy of these resolutions he forwarded to
Gen. Wickham, vice-presdent Of the Chcs-
apcakc and Ohio railroad the Richmond
Dispatch. ScottsYille Register, and Char
loticsvllc Press. j. {. HILL, Chm'n.
