The one hundred ard fifty-seventh ami
versary Of the birth of George Washington
occurs today, and is The f,resunner of the
last of our great centennial celebrations;
that Of tie inauguration OF Washington as
the first President OF the United States, at
Ne. York IN April, 1888. Phis day is,
Therefore, mere than usually significant
IL IS not the purpose to indulge in any re-
yie8 Of the life of Washington, or estimate
OF his character, or sketch Of his services to
his country. These ought TO be familiar
subjects to all Americans, and texts for
patriotic sermons that every true citizen
Should preach to himself

Gay that speaks less ofthemsn whose birth

estimate of Washington we should care
very much less for, than the great progress

CONSENT Of the governed.
To-day. above all others, it should be the
ans Of the parent to impress upon the
riad of his child that Washington was the
Instrument of spirit that is as cxsctine
rsw, IN behalf OF civil liberty and reigi-
ous liberation, as it was when the needs of
h country and the cries Of an outraged
pr PIE caiigd Washington to their ciiams

I IS gratifying Knowledge to knew that
n april the centennial Of Washineton's
Inauguration will be observed at New
Iotk with imposing ceremonial and that
the President of the United States and the
chief officinis of the nation and representa-
tiyes of the people will play an important
part in it. At that time The effort will be-
made to reproduce. very nearly, thescenesI
OF the first Inauguration, when the young
Republic showered such honoTs upon
Washington as have been accorded TO no
man since. The RECORD UNION will to-
morrow devote very much of its space tol

Of estimates of Washinetons character, an
account of his first tour as President and
other matter Of deep interest concerning
The illustrious man whose birthday this is.
The reading of the articles we shall pre-

much drank of American history 10 take
deeper draughts, to explore its literature
and learn from it truths that will endearI

men who laid the foundations of a nation

the Legislature give no signs to indicate
that they are awake to the demand, the
need and the remedy. The Federated

his post, however, was but temporary affair and
was not long maintained The country was unknown
to these traders and trappcrs and before building with
any view to pcrmanency, it necessary to determine
the most desirable location the that could be most
easily reached from every direction by the hores of
re-men that swarmcd the entire region. 1t soon
asceraincd that the mouth Of the Maras was not the
important and accessible point and the next move was
to Brulc bottom, few miles up the Missouri river
where the company maintained temporary Headquarters
for eleven years.
But Major Cubcrtson, who meantime had succeeded

inc Indians, was not content with the location and

Little Rocky to the "shinng mountains" &C could
gather to best advantage, bringing their treasures of
furs and pcltrics.
In this case Major Culbcrtson supplemented his own
judgment with that Of the Inan in such matters
rarely at fault, and in 1886 the eligible position was
found in of the most beautiful bottoms of the up-
per Missouri valley, where nature had made ways of
entrance and exit at every point of the compass and that
year the American Fur company firmly and per-
manently established when Fort Benton built-thc

Montezuma's Buried Treasure.

New YORK, Sept ga City of Mex
leo special says: Extensive eXcava-
tons are being made at the suburban
town of Cayocan, at place lying on
the outskirts of wilderness known
as Pedrogal, of stony ground which
in former years was noted as
the haunts of brigands and is
even now considered as re-
sort for dangerous characters when
pursued by officers of justice. The
object of the excavations, which are
being made by private association,
Is if possible, to srecover,.treasures of
gold and jewels supposed to be hidden
there by the Emperor Montezuma, at
the time of the Spanish conquest. Sc
nor Mercaro, one of the party engaged
in this work, is lineal descendant
of the last Aztec emperor, Guam temac,
whose statue adorns the principal
promenade of this city. Senior Mer-
card says he has in his possession
hieroglyphic documents, which con-
vince him it was in the P9drogal that
Monte.uma hid his treasures among
other things huge golden sun. A few
weeks ago valuable black pearl was
found and also an emerald, near some
skeletons, discovered in the subterra-
mean passage. Your correspondent has
visited the excavations and they are
certainly remarkable, having already
disclosed a subterranean staircase,
winding passages and vaults, jaw
bones and skeletons destitute of tusk
or teeth. According to Senior Mer-
card, it is beyond question that the
Indians there buried, were pure
Aztecs. He estimates the value of
the treasures at not less than twenty

Race War In Alabama.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. September s.
A saloon row between white men and
negroes Friday night at Howerton
store, Bibb county, resulted in the
killing of John Lawrence, by two
negroes and the lynching of the lat
ter Saturday. This has caused much
bad feeling between the whites and
blacks and murderous conflict may
be expected at any moment. The
negroes have massed in and about
Centerville, little village not far
Howerton store, and all are well
armed. Three negroes alone bought
ten winchester rifles in this city Sat
urday, while every white man in the
surrounding country is well provided
with fire arms. A Bibb county man
says, $50 great was the alarm felt,
that Saturday night two trusty citi-
zens were sent to Nashville, Tenn. y, for
500 stands of winchesters." He said
no work had been done there since
Friday and if conflict comes, every
negro in the county would be exter-
minated.
