The relations between some of
the Georgia Democratic leaders is
anything but cordial. Gov. Brown
has charged that Gen. Gordon
sold ont the Democracy during
the progress of the electoral connt.
Gen. Gordon DEF led the charge,
and Brown has reiterated it. That
this issue should shuve arisen must
be deeply regretted, especially by
the people of Louisiana and S,nth
Carolina, whose interest We know
that Gen. Gordon and Mr.. Lamar,
of Mississippi, consulted when
they adopted their line of action
in relation to the electoral count
III anybody is 10 be censured in
this matter Gov. I'iiden and his
Eastern lieu.enants, with a. s.
Hewitt at their head, are the mel !.
The Southern Democrats, among
the most CONSPICUOUS OF whom were
Gordon and Lamar, won the Presi-
Dental election, bnt Gov. Tilden
and his Eastern chiefs were too
deficient in pluck and comm ID
manlluess TO maintain what wa
gained. Gen. Gordon. MS well as
other Southern leaders and papers.

no condition to institute revoln
ton, and they proceeded to make
with Hayes The best terms the,
conld fu the South, and the mosi
important Of their stipulations WIS
that Federal interference shonio
cease in the local affpirs OF Louis
lana and South Carolina. The
New Orleans Democrat was the
FIRST paper in the South to advo
cate this line Of action, and We
are entirely satisfied that we were
right. The people of the SontI I,
and particularly Of Louisiana ard
South Carolina, will regard the
attack of CIV. Brown upon Gen.
Gordon on this point as ins.igated
by political jealousy andambition,
There was no weakening Of th,
line of the Southern Democrat

TREASURE TROVE.
A Heap Of Silver Turns Up IN
an Old Cellar.

an Old Cellar.
New York World, JULY.
There were lively times about the
corner of Spring and Clark-streets on
Tuesday afternoon last when it was
discovered thatthe earth which an Irish
laborer was earring out in small doses
from the cellar of the house No. 226
Sprlng-street was full of coins. The
cellar has been hired by b. p. Schutt,
and in clearing a bank of earth was
found extending across the apartment,
about eighteen inches deep. Those en-
gagged in the work ofdigging into and
carrying out this heaped noticed some
coins and picked n up for close ex-
animation, but not being a h%ard-money
man, contemptuously threw the black
bit back, under the impression that it
was a valuelcss copper piece. Some
one else picked up a handful and
found them silver and when the secret
was blown abroad the cellar was
swarmed with explorers.
The pile Of dirt already out was in
the twinkling of an eye scattered for
blocks about, each treasure-seeker
grabbing a handful and then rushing
off to a safe place to inspect it. AS
the laborer continued his work of
bringing up the cellar diggings he was
set upon for the possession of his load,
and it was with difficulty that be
could hold on to his basket. In hand.
fuls, hatfuls and apronfuls the men,
boys and woman carried off the treas
ure-laden rubbish. When the cellar
had been locked up for the night the
search was not given up, the boys
breaking in. Two lads managed to
Fill their hats with the little black
metal disks. Again and again they
were driven out, but they managed to
wiggle in again to continue the
scratching and the finding. The
whole cellar is not above fifteen feet
wide, and the area of argentiferous
yield was not over l5x12 feet; but
out Of this it was calculated that about
$3.50 in coin was taken. Most Of it
was Spanish quarters, such as used
to be current in this country; there
was also a liberal sprinkling Of Ameri-
can half-dollars, the dates so far as
noticed ranging from 1902 to 1912,
the latter date on the American
pieces. Nor was the yield of silver
only; a few pieces of gold jewelry
were found; a cross of peculiar work
manship, and apparently of consider
able value, being among one boys
"fnd;" pipe bowls, a piece Of chain
and a carved fork were also discover
ed.
Some four years ago, in digging
over another portion OF the cellar
under the same house, $40 in gold
rolled up in cloth was found; and
with other coin carried off by the la
borers. None of those residing in the
locality are able to give any history
Of the house or its former occupant,
though the surmise is that the cellar
was made a repository for the money
and other treasures of a resident dur.
ing the war of l8l2-l4.
