Hidden Wealth in Egypt.

Letter to London Times.
For many years past it has been known
that large sums of gold are lying hid in
Egypt 1t is calculated that about 10000
600 in bullion has from time to time been
imported into the country. About f6, ,OO0,-
0G0 of this is in circulation, and it has re-
u .tlv transpired that during the Viceroy-
ally OF Ismail Pasha, another &c, ,OOO. 600 was
secretly transported to Constantinople This
leaves EOS, ,000 600 unaccounted for, and this
sum must either have been absorbed in the
gold ornaments of the country or must be
hidden away. Should good government
bring peace and security to Egypt this or
considerable portion of this sum will return
into circulation and assist in the develop
ment of the country.

you like the snub given the colored people
at the convention the other day?"
He replied that he did not consider it any
snub.
"You furnish three-iourths of the voters
and surely should get some of the benefits
of the party" we again said to Joe
His reply was: "That time is coming; it
would not be prudent TO put us colored peo-
pie on the ticket now, because it would
drive good many Democrats away who
have an idea Of voting with us. As soon as
we get enough Democrats over with us to
make the party solid then we are going to
run for and fill the county offices"
All of this was said in sincerity, Joe little
knowing what injury he was doing his party
by such disclosures.
Mark this, Democrats of Montgomery
that the white Republicans are working
with duplicity when they ask you to separ-
ate yourselves from your party. They pre-
tend that the Democratic party is corrupt,
and they ask you to assist them in reform.
