We can not help thinking
our people did not act wisely
at the election last week in re-
fusing to allow the two
mills additional tax tor
school purposes. The primary
department was too full for ef-
fective teaching last year, there
being over one hundred pupils
in attendance. The probabili-
ties are that the Directors will
be compelled by necessity to
fit up a new room to accommo
date the increased number oI
pupils, when not having the
money, they will be forced tc
pay high prices and interest on
delayed payment. If a better
uuderst ding of the situation
had prevailed oil a fuller vote
turned out we have no doubt
the result would have beer
different.

. In closing the campaign we would make
. final appeal to u Republican friends

rally at the polls for the success of the
iisket. Nothing now can prevent a glo-
rious victory except our OWL negligence
in attending the election, or a failure to
secure united action on the part Of our
friends. The opposite party dispairing
Of success without aid from u party will
doubtless make many efforts to trade off

thereby hoping to elect at least one of

scorn. We have everything to lose and
nothing to gain by such an arrangement.
Vote the straight ticket. BY so doing
a success is beyond doubt.

They had evidently read the inscription
on the first stone right, as finding the
Second proved but now there stared them
in the face a numeral which, though PLAIN
in one sense, yet was as mystical as the
signs of the astrologer. The figure y
alone vas there. What could it mean!
In fact, what might it not, mean? Seven
miles, Yards, rod, feet-anythipg. In de-
SPAR they determined to move the rock
which, with the all of huge levers they
did-notbing but the hole rewarding them
for their labor. At last the happy
thought occurred to one of tllcu-why
not ~ feet? No sooncr was it express
ed than a shovel was brought into requisi-
ton, and down they worked. The sus-
pense they endured during the excavation
of those few feet of earth can better be
imagined than described. Hope, doubt
and fear alternately marked the faces OF
the party as in urn they toiled with the
shovel. The ring of metallic substance
suddenly brought all to the pit. and there
the person shoveling exposed to their gaze
a rusted iron ring, attached, as the hurried
efforts of the worker soon disclosed, to a
decayed wooden box about a foot square.
On hitting the ring it gave way, and they
did not raise their supposed treasure from
the earth until it was completely loosed
from its bed by the use of the shovel.
They found they had secu:ela box of
wood, decayed by time. but held together
by several iron hoops, and as was shown by
the decayed wood having been beaten off
in one or two pieces, lined with copper or
other metal. The weight satisfied til EN-
that they bad found a treasure, but of
what value they were now to ascertain.
Breaking the box open, there was brought
to ligh gold and silver coin and jewels.
the bulk being silver, and amounting to
about $500. The silver coin was most
ly Spanish dollars, with some few pieces
of ancient South American coinage; the
gold was in Spanish doubloons, and the
jewelry was of silver of no great value,
with the exception of one piece, which
contained diamond settings. Well pleas
ed with their adventure, the parties made
an equal division of the property and
came to the city Saturday to tell their
story. Some money is on exhibition In
the windows of one of our prominent
brokers on Front street, and a gentleman
who frequents First street, generally at
Green's billard-room, has the diamond
pin spoken of, which, by the way, is
worthy of further notice. The pin is in
the share ola leaf, made of silver. after
the old Mexican style, much corroded, or
rather blackened, by time, and contains
thirty-one diamonds, the largest worth
about $50. The diamonds are rose cut,
and of tie most exquisite beauty and
brill ancy. He gave 5000 for thu pin.
Antiquarian curiosity is rife concerning
who put the treasure there, and when, as
nothing to solve either question was found
in the box. May not the old Spanish
galleon, whose skeleton is rackcd by the
tides in the bay near Astoria, and whose
ribs suggest the spectre Of departed years,
have had some knowledge of who placed
the iron box in its bed in the wilderness
of Oregon?

Prosecutor.
C. &

To the Editors of the Banner:
Some mouths since there was no little
comment about my supposed connection
with what was then kno wn as the 'Beaty
bounty fraud" and though the subject is
not so prominent before the public eyes
now, yet the rumors then circulated are
not altogether forgotten. For the purpose
of my complete vindication from any re-
Election against me as a man or q member
of Congress, SO far as that matter is con-
cerned, 1 ask for this card a place in your
paper, and trust it may receive the candid
consideration of your readers. Itmay be
proper for me to say that from the first l
have intended to furnish the public with
my " statement of the matter, but have
waited until now in order that i might APP
pear, neither to argue my " case nor to
f~orestall public opinion until the courts
could give the charges complete investiga-
ton. Grave charges of fraud and con-
sp;racy were preferred against me, assai-
ing not only my reputation as a member
of Congress, but also my honesty and in
tegrity as a man, and in the public mind
have been exaggerated and added to In
the repetition of them by partisans on
both sides, prompted. however, by differ
ent motives. 1 know of no better yindi-
cation to myself and my character against
these accusations than to detail the facts
as they were and let an honest public
come to its own conclusion.
The prosecution for more properly the
persecution against me for an aliegedcon-
spiracy to defraud the Governments, only
served long enough to empty the virus OF
such an accusation into the public prints;
and without a trial was abandoned by its
fomenters. as an impotent, f~orlorn, but
cherished enterprise. But moro of this
further on. ] was arraigned on an indict-
ment containing eight counts, preferred
under the acts Of Congress of February
&c, 1858, which act is as follows:
"Any Senator or Representative in
Congress. who, after the passage Of this
act, sSal1 for compensation paid or to be
paid. certain or contingent, act as agent
or attorney FOR prosecuting any claim OF
