About five years ago Alonzo Philips,

search, which was at length rewarded
by the discovery of the convict hoard;
estimated all along from $500 to $780,
900. The tirst-named is the correct
amount. The lucky inders did not

who recently called upon General
Grant NJ 1T. McGregor and had a
long chat with him, IS at the Filth Az
e6us G0fGI' Ent viii Return 10 his
home in Kentucky tomorrow. Gen.
oral BucRnur has hitherto persistently
declined TO make public any part Of
his interview with Genera!
Grant, on tho ground s!aat
it was private and p0rsoual. Gen
oral Bucknor was 3 ciHssmata
oil General Grant 80 West Point, and
served with him through the Mexican
war; ana their iriendly relations were
never weakened, Notwithstanding
they FOUGHT on opposite sides during
the rebellion. After IN ature consider.
alton, and becoming satisfied that
General Grant would not object, Gen
eral BucEner yesterday decided
to give to the public the
only portion OF Tbs memorable
interview which, IL his opinion, is OF
interest TO the country NJ large. He
handled Tho littla slips of paper on
which General Grant hsd written al
most RS though thGy were sacred. Cen
eral Bucbner said:
"We had some general converse.
tion, which was Of interest to no one
but ourselves. Ia the course OF it,
however, General Grant wrote one
paragraph which l regard as of
great inheritance, and which the
public have right to read. Here it is
in full, just as he wrote it:
Il have witnessed since my sick
ness just what 1 have wished to see
ever since the war-harmony and good
feeling between the sections. l have
always commended that if there had
been nobody left but the soldiers, we
would have had peace in year. There
are only two that / know of who do
Southern side. We have some on
ours who failed to accomplish
as much as they wished-who did not
get warmed up to the fight until it was
all over-who have had quite full sat-
isfaclion. The great majority, too, of
those who did not 20 into the wal, have
long since grown tired of the long con-
troversy. We will look forward to
perpetual peace at home and national
strength that will screen US against
foreign complications. I believe my
self that the war was worth all it cost
US, fearful rs that waG. Since it was
over i have visited every
State in Europe and a number in the
East. know now, as did not before,
the value of our institutions.J
"Those," said General Buckner, "are
noble sentiments of genuine patriot
ism, and / think the general public
ought to share with with me the know
ledge that General Grant holds such
views. They show he has only the
good of the country at
neart in the last moments
of his patriotic life. The
names OF those which left blank are
those of ex-Confederates still living,
and 1 don't feel at liberty to make
them public. Beyond this sentiment
there was nothing whatever in the in
terview that is of interest to anybody
except General Grant and myself"
