Great complaint has been made Of
the treatment of county prisoners.
The county contract system is not
properly guarded, and it is charged
that in some localities prisoners are
kept over their time, not furnished
with proper clothing, are abused, and
it seems that no one is required by
law to look after these matters. The
attention of the Lessees was called
to the law providing that convicts
whose terms of sentence exceeded ten
years should not be worked outside
the walls Of the prison. The Lessees
claimed the right to employ them on
public works, and the question was
submitted to the Attorney General
who gave the opinion that they had
the right to. employ convicts on works
OF Public Improvement outside the
prison walls.
With an acknowledgement and a
due appreciation of the uniform cour-
tesy and kindness extended to me by
your Excellency, am,

We publish this morning the bill
introduced in the United States
Senate on December 4th, by Gen.
"Cerro Gorda" Williams, providing
for the pensioning Of the surviving
Mexic,n war soldiers, or the widows
of those who died before the Gov
ernment saw fit to recognize and re-
quite their services and valor
1t will be observed that the bill is
SO drawn as to avoid the objections
of those to whom ex-President Davis
is constant night mare and terror
at bis own request-and provid' .
for pensioning only those who are
not under the political disabilities
imposed by the fourteenth amend
ment to the Constitution Of the
United States" /
Mr.. Davis though entitled to as
much credit for the results of that
glorious war as any man who partic.
ipated in it, is not in need Of a PEN
sion, and pstriotically insists upon
the bill being SO framed as to ex-
plicitly exclude him from its benefits,
in order that no further pretext can
be urged by self gloryfying hypo
c-its for denying their rights to his
brave comrades in arms.

CONFEDERATE TREASURE.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
ATLANTA, Dec. 28.-Wilkes county, in
this State, is in great excitement over
the discovery Of large quantity of Con
fedsrate treasure, about which 40 much
has been said and written. During u
storm this week small oak tree was
blown down about nine miles from
Washington. Mr.. John Frank, while
riding by, saw something shining us be-
passed, and examinei the roots Of the
tree. In the hole left by the tIee he
found almost peck of gold and large
quantity OF jewels and precious stones
Among the latter were diamonds, rubles
and pearls, and many pieces of exquisite
workmanship, the value of which has
bsen placed by several connoisseurs at
$40 200. The belief is expressed by all
who have seen the treasure that it il q
lot lost by the Confederate Cabinet dur.
ing the fight through this section. as the
road upon which the treasure was found
was the same upon which the Confeder.
ates retreated. 1t is supposed that the
person who secured this part of the
treasure, being unable to carry it off in
safety, hid it for st ourity, and either died
or was killed soon after, and cons quent.
ly the treasure was never unearthcd.
The grent quantity of jewels and pre-
cious stones suggests that it must have
besn the mysterious jewelry box en-.
trusted to Mrs. Moss, and taken from
her shortly sfterward by a stranger.
While retreating through the country,
President Davis and his Cabinet, TO.
gether with a number OF distinguished
Confsderates, stopped ut the resld-ncs
of Mrs. Moss, an aged widow, where it
is believed the last council Of the Con-
federacy was held. When the meeting
was about over Gen. John G. Brecken-
ri &c called in Mrs. Moss, and handing
her box Of quaint device, told her it
was OF great value, as it contained rare
jewelry which had been pawned by
ladies' Of the Confederncy for the benefit
OF the cause, and desired her to secrets
it until some one with proper authority
should return to claim it. When the
party had resumed its retreat Mrs. Moss
examined the contents of the box, and
was dazzled by the brllliancy which met
her gaze. For several weeks she kept
her trust profound secret. and guarded
it from hundreds of men who were
searching the country for remnants of
the robbed treasure trnin. One night
horseman rode up to the residence, and
alighting, called Mrs. Moss aside, and in
whispered words told her thnt he was
the accredited agent Of parties who had
left the jewelry-box in her possession,
and that he had been instructed to call
for its possession. Completely deceived
by the mans assurance and appearance
OF honesty, she placed the box in his
hands, to see him disappear in darkness,
and to realize next dny that she had
been cruelty imposed upon She died
month later. The fact that the jewels
Just found ale of such quality and guam
tity, and correspond so well with the
contsnts Of the mysterious box. lends
color to the supposition that it is the
same.

Industrial Schools for Indians

The Catholic Archbishop of Mani
toba, British America, is arranging
for the establishing of industrial
schools for Indians al. over that ter.
ritory. That this scheme is NOT
chimerioal the experience of the
Jesuits in Mexico and Lower Cali.
fornia amply demonstrated; for the
Mission schools and villages estab.
lished by those glorious pioneers not
only resulted in winning the savages
of those regions to ways of industry
and the worship Of God, but in edu.
eating them in the laws of letters,
morality and accumulation. Spain
in the hour when her purse was un.
able to meet the demands of her
ambition or the agonies of her de.
fence, found these missions rich in
supplies and monies, and mercilessly
robbed them for the maintainence of
her armies aud navies; and when
Mexico threw off the Spanish yoke
she not only initiated the mother
country in her exactions upon the
missions, but by depriving them of
the vast estates they had converted
from deserts into fertile fields and
gardens, starved out the mission
schools and factories; drove the good
missionaries back to Spain; scattered
the industrious Indians to become
again savages or vagrants, and left
the noble temples and churches they
had reared on outskirts of civiliza-
ton to crumble and decay while the
once rich fields reverted to the wills
derness. The problem of civilizing
the indian was we'll understood and
thoroughly solved by the Jesuits.sn
we have full faith that in Manitoba
the Industrial schools will effect re>
suits that we Of the United States
have sigpally failed in accomplishing
through alternate applications of
ratiops and bullets.
