DANGEROUS MANIFESTO.


| Address Adopted by the Socialistic Convention
BALTIMORE, December 29.-A proelama-
ton to the workingmen of America was
adopted at the late session here of the Social
! stic Convention and ordered to be issued
Immediately all over the country. 1t urges
workingmen to organize and send their own
| representatives 10 legislative bodies. 1t fore.
shadows revolutionary measures as follows
Fellog Workmen: You see everywbe ere
employers violate most brutally even the
civil rights of the employed. You see how
they compel workingmen to give up their
own organizations by threatening them with
all the terrors of hunger and misery; how
they frequently try to SOW bloody dissensions
among workiDgmen themselves and oppose
their just demands with force of arms. You
see, Furthermore, how in all these excuses
they are supported by the Government that
to. day exists only in the interest of ruling
the masses by police and when necessary by
military power. You know also how these
classes, we'll trained to all the tricks of po-
litical corruption, have always been known
to faisify the alleged will of the people, ex-
pressed at the polls. Under these conditions
we must expect that our enemies, when they
see how their power is increased In legal
way and their approaching victory, will on
their part become rebels, just as once did
the shareholders, and that then the time
will come for the cause of labor, when that
old prime lever of all revolutions, 3 force
effective as long as mankind is still In half
barbaroas state, must be applied in order to
place the working masses in control of the
State, which, then, for the frst time, will be
representative, not few privileged classed,
but Of all society.
The Socialistic Labor party has for years
recognized and proclaimed this development
of affairs and it Is highly satisfactory that
other organizations are embracing these
views. We surely do not participate in the
follies of those men who consider dynamite
bombs the best means of agitation to produce
The greatest revolution that ever transpiIed
in the social life of mankind.
Fellow workmen, the way 10 our end is
not an easy one, but there Is no other, and
there is no hope for you and your children
attain your ultimate goal you can improve
your condition, or at least prevent 1t from
growing worse. We address these words to
you at momentous time. All signs tend to
show that terrible crisis Is again approach
ing-a crisis which will rage frightfully In
the ranks of workingmen. Do not hesitate;
lose not moment, ere the deepest misery
destroys you or saps your vital strength, rem
dering you helpless for any resistance. Mis-
cry and oppression threaten you more and
more every day. That is certain, but only
your own power will save you.

TREASURE TROVE.
Missing Money and Jewels of the confederacy.

-
New YORK, Dec. 29.-Times Atlanta, Ca,
special Wilkes county is in great excite
ment over the discovery of large quantity
of Confederate treasure, about which so
much has been said and written. During a
storm this week, small oak tree was blown
down nine miles from Washington. John
Frank, while riding by, saw something shin
ing, and examined the roots of the tree. In
the hole left by the tree he found almost a
peck Of gold, and large quantity of jewels
and precious stones. Among the latter were
diamonds, rubes and pearls, and many
pieces of exquisite workmanship, the value
of which has been placed by several connois-
seurs at $4,000. The belief expressed by
all who have seen the treasure Ii that it is
part of lot lost by the Confederate cabinet
curing Its flight through this section, as the
road upon which this treasure was found
was the sane upon which the Confederates
reiterated. The quantity of jewels and pre-
cious stones suggests that 1t must have been
the contents Of the mysterious jewelry box
intrusted to Mrs. Moss and taken from her
shortly afterward by stranger while retreat
ing through the country. President Davis
and his cabinet, together with number of
distinguished Confederates, stopped at the
residence Of Mrs. Moss, where IL IS believed
the last council of the Confederacy was held.
When the meeting was over, Gov. Brecken-
ridge called on Mrs. Moss, and handing her
. box Of quaint device, told her it was of
great value, as 1t contained rare jewelry
which had been pawned by ladies of the
Confederacy for the benefit Of the cause, and
desired her to seerete IL until some one with
proper authority should return to claim 1t.
When the party resumed Its retreat, Mrs.
Moss examined the contents Of the box, and
was dazzled by The brilllance which met her
gaze. For several weeks she kept her trust
. profound secret, and guarded II from hun
drecs Of men who were searching the coun-
try for the remains Of the robbed treasury
train. One night q horseman rode up to her
residence. Alighting, he called Mrs. Moss
aside, and In whispered words be told her
that he was the accredited agent of the par
ties who had left the iewelry box in her pos
session. Completely deceived by means Of
his assurance and appearance of honesty, she
placed the box In bis hand, to see him dis
appear In the darkness and to realize the
next day that she had been cruelty imposed
upon. She died . month later. The fact
that the jewels just found correspond 50 we'll
with the contents Of The mysterious box,
lends color TO the sapposition that they are
the same.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN AMERICA.


Special 20 Salt Lake Tribune
ROME, Dec. 30.-An influential dignitsry
| of the Catholic Church writes: "The Amer.
lean bishops have been very busy here, pre-
pairing for The National Council that was to
have taken place shortly after New Years.
The Council, however, has been postponed.
As the Presidential election takes place next
year, IL was deemed wise To wait, and thus
avoid the possibility Of exciting public opin.
ion at the most susceptible moment. Man
ager LepaicI, who was to preside at the Coun-
ell aud oil the functions Of Apostolic Vicar,
will not leave Rome as Early as he expected.
The bishops have certainly labored with the
greatest zeal and enthusiasm for the ergani-
cation Of their young and brilliant church,
so full If hope, yet surrounded by difficulties
Like all newborn religious structures, the
the church in America has not yet been
adapted to the true juridical existence. The
Church of America has not yet been firmly
established on a solid basis or the paramount
excellence Of ecclesiastical traditions.
1t Is to mould 1t gradually but surely,
and thus institute it TO the exigencies
of the Canon law and of Catholic Jurispru-
dence that the Episcopate has consecrated
the lsbors of the last few weeks. They have
been weeks filled with the most numerous
and happily the most fruitful deliberations.
The bishops have agreed upon the following
points: First, the bishops are 10 organize
by the Council of Trent; second, the paro-
chial schools are to be established, and IN
doing So, the principles Of the first period of
the Middle Ages are to be borne In mind;
third, the commissions are TO be appointed
for the administration Of ecclesiastical prop.
erty; fourth, for the nomination of curates,
the system observed in France to be adopted,
with the adoption Of n course of co-opera-
ton Of the State, which unfortunately In
This method of nomination is point of the
utmost importance, for this question bristTes
with difficulty. Fifth, the system of legis-
lation Is to be decided for religious marriage.
Such are the chief resolutions that have
been adopted by common accord. There is
every reason to hope that the National
Council will consecrate those principles by
their final and solemn sanction. You thus
see that the future of this grand aud beau
tiful church Of America opens with the most
brilliant and assuring prospective"
