A ROBBERS TREASURE.
Ten Thousand Dollars Barred by a
Partner of John A. Murrell.

A dispatch from Conehatta, Miss,
says:
From old citizens OF this county
it is learned that the $4,000 in gold
dug up on Conehatta creek last week
by Ezra Leech was buried there by
the notorious John Copeland, who
was at one time partner of John
A. Murrell. There is said to have
been quite romance connected
with the money, in which former
sweetheart of the robber chief play
ed prominent part. In fact, the
story goes that she had promised
to marry and leave the United States
with him when he had accumu-
lated a suficiency of this worlds
goods.
Copeland soon bad $4,000, but
not yet satisfied with his career of
crime, buried the money where he
could always lay hands on it at a
moments notice. The lady, howev-
err, died shortly afterwards, and he
soon grew reckless and dissipated to
such an extent that his men often
rebelled against the daring exploits
planned by his excited brain. The
man was a wonder, however, and al
ways managed to make good his es-
cape, soon rendered his name one of
terror to the entire people of the
Southern States. After the death
of his intended bride, Copeland
seems to have contracted mania
for buryins money, and is said to
have hidden enormous sums in DIFF
terent sections of this state. His
dissipated habits now render him
careless, and as necessary precau-
ton he gave the map containing
full description of where all this
money was buried, into the keeping
of his first lieutenant, James Null
lit. A few months later MULTI
lost the paper swimming the Tom
bigbee river, in making escape from
a sheriff's possee. This seems to
have demoralized the band, as it was
broken up short time afterward.
Copeland frequently allowed his
temper to get the best of his judg-
ment, and in a bar room fight in
1857 was so severely wounded that
he was easily captured. When the
day on which he was 10 hang arriv-
ed he told where his horses and
much other property, including a
large number OF negro slaves, could
be found, and also attempted to give
the location of his buried gold. He
is said to have mentioned the S1O,-
600 on Con ahatta creek, and it is a
we'll known fact that different par
ties have made influential efforts to
discover the money at divers times
before and since the war. From
the most authentic report it seems
that Mr.. Leech's lucky find was
purely accidental, and as he was
ditching in a reed break in his field
near the creek at the time.

the men whom he commanded, to steal
or forage" as they called it. on pri-
vate property.
A private named Hicks, on the march
to Gettysburg, remarked, chuckling,
to Q companion:
"There is nothing stuck up about
old Stannard. He is not ashamed to
converse socially with private"
"Has he been talking to you? What
did he say?"
"Told me if I didn't get out of them
cherry-trees he'd kill mel"
Another instance of STANDARDS keen
watchfulness is given by one of his SOL
diers. On the march to Frederick, the
General knew that an attack was to
be made on the regiment in few min
utes. The men were furnishing with
thirst, and coming to well, wished to
stop and fill their cantees. Stannard
set q guard over it and forbade them
to break ranks.
A certain Lieutenant Brown, who
had wounded comrade, disobeyed the
order, and going to the well, at the
risk of his life, brought his friend
some water. General Stannard put
him under arrest and took his sword
from him.
When the regiment reached Gettys-
burg, Brown, foreseeing a fierce con-
flict, asked the General to suffer him
to carry his sword for the day, to be
returned at night. It had, however,
been sent with the baggage to the
rear. Brown procured tomahawk
and carried it into the battle, and did
such good service that General STAN
nard at night, though badly wounded,
sent for him, gave him his own sword,
and told him he richly deserved to
carry it.

The alliance on labor day in Topeka,

TIME FOR A HALT.

When the debts of the country ex-
coed the assessed valuation, it is about
time for the people to begin to look
out for the means of payment. This re-
suit has been secured by capitalistic
control of legislation on the subject of
finance. The monopoly schemers who
have controlled our financial legislation
have brought the producer of wealth
out in debt to the non-producer. This
state of affairs admits Of but one reme-
dy. The people must control the dis
tribution of the medium by which their
debts must be paid. In other words,
the establishment of a debt-paying
system of finance, or, as expressed IN
the alliance platform, the issue OF
money by the government to the peo-
pie without the Intervention of banks.
This is the natural, peaceful, and legit-
innate means Of removing the vast bur-
dan of debt that has been imposed on
the people by our debt-creating system
OF finance. Debts cannot be paid until
the debtor can control the medium by
which they are paid. As long as the
creditors, % class, control the debt
paying medium, the great mass of the
people will be debt slaves, and the lior's
share of the wealth which they create
will go to pay interest. In the present
condition Of affairs, this question Of f.
nance is the labor question. Without
financial reform. all tho other reforms
demanded are but the merest patch

The Alliance in New York.

NEW YoRK.-The farmers alliance
movement which has created so much
CONSERVATION in political circles in the
south and west, has reached this state
and dispatches say that largely at
tended convention to organize state
farmers league opened at Altamont,
near Albany. In the call for the gath
ering it was set forth that the unifca-
tion of the organizations and the weld
ing of the chain of relationship with
the body of farmers of the state were
of paramount Importance at this time.
The need was urgent, prudent council
desired, efficient, practical and disinter-
ested direction demanded. In union
there was strength, and in complete es-
tablished and harmonious union there
was power for good.

National Bank Profits.
True Commonwealth.


The profits of national banks are
enormous. The government loans them
money without interest, for tho per
cent they pay for their currency is
simply to cover cost of engraving and
printing the bills. They loan this
money to the people at an average of 8
per cent year, compounded in most
cases every ninety days. Then the
people, following the example Of the
government, lend their money to tho
banks Gin the form of deposits) with
out interest, and the banks loan these
deposits to the people, at an average Of
8 per cent. For example: ''The Mer-
chants National Bank" of Chicago, ac-
cording to the report of its president,
borrowed, last year, S450,00O of the
government, and S3.711,OOO of depos-
itors. On this 81, 200 this bank re-
ceived from the people, in interest, the
sum OF 1851 ,231, which is just 10 per
cent on this enormous capital which
this bank gets without interest.
Every dollar Of this money came di-
rectly from the producing classes.
When We remember that there are about
three thousand national banks in this
country, it is not difficult to tell where
a large part of the profits of labor go.
If the people did their own banking
through the government, they would
save this large sum, and times would
not be so hard. Vote for no man for
congress who does not openly promise
to do all in his power to repeal the ma
tional banking law.
