size tea-cheSt, bat built OF cast IRON. When
found. il was lying ON its side, buried in
about lour feet OF mud, on a deck next to
the one where it stood when the ship went
down. lsust has eaten through it in Sey-
eral places, and there is IN opening on its
side about three inches wide, caused it is
supposed, by the explosion OF y torpedo,

the track of It's ascent from the wreck to

silent in regard to It's contents, and are
not likely to tell the amount OF It's treasure

banking account has been Increased about
80 600 in gold. Fully this amount has
been expended in various vain cndcavors

for the spot where he Supposed the safe to

Minnesota Democratic State COnver-
ton.

ST. PAUL, july T. The Democratic
State Convention spent most of the alter
noon in discussing the financial plank Of
the platform Finally the specie payment
men prevailed over the eXpansionist5 by
a large majority.
The following platform was adopted:
Resolved. That the adoption of the 1lth,
10th and 10th amendments to the cOnsti-
tuition closed a great era in our politics
and marked an end forever of human
slavery and OF struggles that grew out OF
that system These amendments have
been accepted in good faith by all political
organizations and the people OF all sec
tons. Hereafter all parties must stand
upon them and politics must turn on the
questions for the present and future and
not upon those of settled and final past.
Second, that the national government
is one of limited and delegated powers,
supreme within its sphere, while the great
bulk OF rights the people must find Their
safeguard in the States, and in the people
themselves
Third, that we are opposed to all at
tempts to limit the freedom of the press
OF the country.

The n. Y Sun has the following upon
Blaine and Wilson:
The rock-bound region which contains
nearly one-tenth of the population OF the
Union, and much larger proportion OF
its wealth, will press hard for the nomina-
ton next year; and if Wilson's health
holds out, the contest between him ana
Blaine may be lively. Blaine has used his
position as Speaker to this end lie IS
shrewd, rich, and boils over with energy,
He has done good deal to explode the
third-term plot, and doubtless the recent
expressions by the Republican Conventions
of PENNSYLVANIA and Ohio We're in part due
TO him. Thouqh he ircS IN d ha1tl -noneu-
State, he IS fe1ible on the greendach qates-
hon, and hopes thereby TO co,aciliatc the
West andMe South. Wilson, too, is tire
less worker. and has been successful in
making his political combinations.

Attempted Express Robbery.

TERRE IIAUTE, Ind, July 9. The at
tempted robbery of the Adams Express
car, on the Nandalia road was by two
men who jumped onto the engine in an
out OF the way place, called Long Point.
They made the engineer start the train
and then shot him A confederate had
previously detached them from the train
and the robbers ran the engine and ex-
press car two miles, when they stopped
and demanded admittance to the express
car, which Burke, the messenger. refused,
threatening to kill them. They then
emptied several revolvers into the car,
but none of the bullets hit him. The con-
ductor OF the train and others arriving
the robbers fed without securing any
booty. Parties are searching for them,
and if caught their trial and execution
will not be expensive to the state.

Southern Ideas of the Currency,

1t is generally supposed that in the
South both parties are demoralized with
the rag-money and initiation hereses
Doubtless this is the case with the carpet
baggers and the freedmen. The former
naturally favor Il policy of swindling,
while the latter are mostly altogether
ignorant, and look at the greenbacks as
the symbol of their emancipation and ele-
walton to political rights But it is not
the case with a majority of the Southern
Democrats, although there is considera-
Of the party. The more intelligent south
erners, however, have had a sad expert
ence with confederate paper currency and
are aware that it is only with honest mon
ey, not with an abundance of broken gov
eminent promises of payment, that a new
prosperity can be secured to the country
at large, as well as to their section. The
New Orleans Times, the leading democra-
tic journal OF Louisiana, emphatically de-
ClafeS LnaL the DelleI which the nOfIn en-
tertains that the south is in favor of infla-
| ton is "a most extraordinary and unpro-
voked humbug' On the same subject the
Times says:
| "The south has given no manifestation OF
| such sentiment; and for the best reason. She
| has passed through the whole course of the IL
nancial disease plethora the fever, the eX-
| t.,,tif
| and emaciated, but convalescent She feels
| already the steady, normal pulsations Of re-
| turning health. and does not long for a relapse
| to fever and chill and derium. She has only
! now to exercise ordinary prudence to regain a
| usty health. We think this feeling is wide
| spread and represents the intelligent sentiment
of the south. Our people know very well that
| there is no want of currency to meet the de
| Inands of trade, since the banks are fall of it,
! lying idle. What we want is more trade to
| give employment to currency. and our people
| do not look to inflated prices and unhealthy
| speculation as the proper means 10 deNelope
! trade. If the currency inlationist9 look to the
south for aid and comfort we fear they are
doomed to disappointment"

The telegraph lines We're on Friday
burdened with the Wollll PARAGRAPH

burdened with the Wolul paragraph
| Capt. Bucking, late of the New York heavy
artillery, shot Frederick Lubon through The
head last evening in Harlem, for paying atten-
| tons to "A widow against the wishes of Bucking.
There it is again-a catastrophe with n
| woman in it. This retired son of Mars
had his inilammable heart fired by spark
from the widows black eyes, and became
sudden and quick in quarrel, He warned
every other man off the premises The
heavy artillery would brook no rival BY
a shot through the head the presumptuous
