The testimony taken by the !Iouar
Commi;tco on Military Affairs regarding
the stolen documents Of the Buell. Curr,
Of Inquiry, and others Of still more int
portanco, has heen put in typo Mt the
Government Office.
The !act that several Government
clerks were used by General Badc"u
TO copy documents for him ior use in
his History Of Grant, has been already
published, bat that u Government CLERK

for tie publishers was not known. The
following Is from the testimony Ola man
named Chinn, who, at the time spoken
OF, was a clerk in the War Department:

County Newspapers.

The difficulties under which county
newspaper labors is sscnrcoly appreciated
by most Of the reading public In the
first place such papers are usually week
lies, and whilst the expense CT Il weekly
is less than daily, still the expense Of
weekly is much more than most imagine.
The paying Of rents, the buying of ink
and paper paying Of compositors and
other incident expenses, amount in the
course of year TO no small amount
1t is well known that county newspa-
per8 are generally published by men
who have but little in the way of money.
They arc therefore in the main, if not
entirely 80, dependent Ion the prompt
ness with which their Subscribers and
patrons pay up their bills. Either not
knowing, or forgetting this fact, many
friends OF newspapers fail to do their
duty in this regard. Such failure upon
their parts drives the poor printer into
perp'c&itics which arc not only painful,
but at times almost impossible to get
through with, Eut with the patience of
an OK nnd the strength of a hon he will
20 ahead and do the best he can.
There is still another difficulty in the
path of al county weeElies. 1t is this
,lost OF the matter prepared for lis next
issue is written perhaps several days be-
fore press day Atthe time written tho
matter may be entirely appropriate, but
before "preas day" something may have
turned up, or new information received
which would render it altogether out o
place and decidedly Objectionable
What's the consequence in such q case
The matter must come down, the type
must be distributed and new matter sc
up and inserted in its place All this il
double work for the printer without pa,
or hope Of pay in a amonied sense. Never
thcloss it must be done, pay or no pay
so far as the printer is concerned.
All this is truth well known to pub
fishers OF country newspapers, as it is {,
the publishers of the largest dailies il
tie world Vow the tearing down an,
putting up Of matter involves 10 smal
expense Ii costs time. labor and mon
ey. And yet the printer asks 10 pa
,or it,
We might mention great many 9TH
difficulties in the way of a county pape
but we stop. All that q printer want
is a prompt payment of what is due bir
and to SO conduct his paper as to nee
with the appreciation of a discernin
public. We commend these thought
to our exchanges.

Digging up n Chest OF Gold.


The fortune hunters Ui New Jersey
have some new discoveries to speculate
upon, and if the assertions Of some re-
cent finders Of coin arc to be lclovcd,
ono If their number has at last definitely
located the spot where the pirate Kidd
concealed his treasure From Cola
Spring, Cape lday County, comes nssoly
Of the discovery Of Il chest containing
:20,0UO, on the Dicl, Thomson farm,
near Fishing creek Two mcn, one Of
whom bears the name Of Nmret;son,
were digging bitches on the farm which
is Eow o"n Ly Harrcttson, when tiey
hauioi up the money chest. The coin,
they say, Is 50 old that it is scuraly pos
sbio for them to tell the GXpct v8,uo of
the pieces, but the larger part is gold,
the coins being about the size OF twenty.
dollar gold pieces. 1t is said, further
more, that Captain Kidd's j.amo was
found imprinted on the chest. There
has been a periodical excitement ior the
last forty years, and this report las
caused sensation that has allec' ed the
country for miles around. An oyster
man, named jeremiah Van Pelt, also
claims TO have found traces Of Captain
Kidd or somebody else, near Elizabeth
polt While dredging for cystola oE
the shore one day he raked up three sil-
yer pieces, the inscriptions upon which
are scarcely legible. Money has been
found at the same spot before, and about
forty years ago hundreds of treasure
seekers dug up the land before the aca
had enCroachcd upon it.

Never repeat story unless you arc
certain it is correct, and not even then
unless something is to be gained, either
of interest to yourself or for the good Of
the person concerned. Tattling is a
mean and wicked practice, and be who
INDUCES in it grows more fond Of It in
proportion az he is successful.
