out. To make a long story short, only one
man reached New Orleans. His compan-
Ions died one by one in the morasses. His
trials after reaching the Crescent City have
already been told.
The directors of the exchange are evidently
inclined to look upon the scheme with some
favor, chimerical though IL may be. The
proposition OF the merchant is to pilot a
searching party to the locality where the
treasure is buried, and then. with the as
sistance of charts and instruments in the
hands of scientific men, to locate the SPOT
and unearth the treasure He does not pro-
pose to surrender his claim TO the wealth.
but. being without the necessary means TO
prosecute the search. he will surrender one
half Of all that is found in case the mer-
chants individually or collectively. conclude
to furnish him with the means necessary TO
carry out his plans.
That the pirates in the early days OF the
republic concealed along the coast vast
sums of money and precious stones of I'M
told value there Is hardly a reason 10
doubt. Florida, at the time referred to
was inhabited by wealthy Spaniards. and
the ships that visited The coasts brought
with them cargoes Of immen.,e valre. and
carried away to the old world the riches
of the purchasers. At st. Augustine the
oldest city in the United States, the peo-
pie still talk about the depreiatious of the
pirates, and they firmly believe that there
is treasure of almost fabulois Value buried
somewhere along the coast not far from
the city.
OF course the directors as a body canno,
go into the scheme. IL must be put 10 a

wanted more information before he would

great tribute to Colonel O'Ferralls re-

Three-fourths Of the cities and coun-
ties of Virginia have already chosen
their delegates. There will be about
$50 delegates chosen this week and
Monday, August 7. OF this number
Colonel O'Ferrall will receive over 70
per cent, putting Richmond aside,
which will give him his majority with
out Richmond. But Richmond will give
him a surprisingly big vote.
From Monday, August :, till the elec-

POSTAL CLERK BURTON ARRESTED.

Highly Respected in Lynchburg and
Twenty Years in the Service.
r. S. Burton, of Lynchburg, who has
been chief clerk of the railway mail SER
vice From Lynchburg to Bristol for
nearly twenty years, under both Repub
lican and Democratic admi nistrations,
was arrested in Lynchburg Sunday by
Postal Inspect tors Maxwell and Griggs,
who at once placed him in Jail to await
examination under bond Of 50 500.
For long time there have been com.
plants made by people in this section
of money being lost in the mails, and
the department. has been watching the
railway mail clerks between Lynchburg
aud Bristol with close surveillance.
Decoy letters were placed in the mails
and 1T was soon ascertained that Burton
was the guilty patty. In the fireplace
of Burton's house u large number of let
tiers were found some rined and others
unopened.
Upon arrest Burton broke down and
made full confession of his crimes
His populations have not been very
great, but will amount to several hun
dred dollars at least. Burton comes of
a good family and has large mum Der

Important Meeting of Colored Men to be
Held Next November.
A call for conference of colored men
in this city on September IL has been
issued by the committee in charge of
the matter The movement is prompted
by consideration of the present pre-
carious condition of the race and a
desire to discuss and adopt the best
methods Of improving that condition.
The call states that 1.-THE chief object
of the conference will be to fully and
carefully consider the many opposing
influences which retard the develop
met of the educational, moral, financial,
industrial and political interests of the
race, especially in those sections or dis
tricts covered by the call. Also to
effect, if possible, a general organiza.
ton with such local organic atoms as
may be necessary to a united and con-
tiuuous effort to advance the material
prosperity Of colored American citi-
zens."
Delegates will be chosen from the
Fifth, Sixth, Ninth, and Tenth Con.
gressional districts of Virginia, and a
very large attendance is expected.

POLICE COURT.
Six Hoodlums Fined For Indecent Conduct
In the City Cemetery.

In the City Cemetery.
a long line Of lawbreakers came be-
fore Judge Pole in the police court yes
terday morning and the proceedings
we're more interesting than usual. Six
young men, John McAbee. w. c. Nc
Abee, H. E. Swarizer, I. f. Payne,
John Equire and &. c. Crump, were
arraigned for swearing and using in
decent language in the City Cemetery
Sunday afternoon. The evidence went
to show that the behavior was very un.
becoming and that party Of ladies and
gentlemen were forced to leave the
cemetery on account Of the conduct of
the gang. Judge Pole, after carefully
inquiring into the facts, very properly
showed the city's disapproval OF such
rowdyism by fining the offenders So
each
Mary Wade and Martha Saunders,
both colored. were charged with loiter-
ing on the streets without company"
Sunday night, but as they claimed they
were going to church they were re-
leased.
The case against A. j. Hawkins and
Jake Mays for fighting was continued

conduct S.. Joe Adams, for being dis.

Virginia Campaign.

From the Washington Evening News.
1t will be good news TO the many
friends OF Colonel O'Ferrall that he is
ahead in the race for the Virginia
governorship and is likely to be made
the nominee of the Democratic State
convention. Colonel O'Ferrall's chival
rous fighting qualities have made him
popular in Washington and among his
associates in Congress, and he has lost
nothing of this popularity because he
has dared to do right when his convic-
tions ran counter to the views OF other
party leaders.
1t may be necessary with a certain
class of voters to make apologies for re.
porting in favor of a Republican con
testant whore he seemed to have a clear
legal right, and for other acts OF per-
sonal independence, but no apology Is
needed for such acts among those who
place principle above party and believe
that the truest courage is shown in ad-
herring to honest convictions.
The contest in Virginia will not be a
close one on election day IL the Demo.
cratic organization is as compact and
strong as it was last autumn. There
are some indications, however, that the
usual indifference of an off wear will
diminish the Democratic vote. and that
the opponents OF the Dem ocratic ticket
will seize the opportunity to do their
| utmost.
Colonel O'Ferrall's popularity would
be sufficient protection against such a
danger under ordinary circumstances,
but the agitated condition of the country
may make the elections vent for more
OF irritation and independent voting
than is usual even in an off year. The
present Administration may we'll claim
that existing evils are the legacy OF
Republican legislation, but the voters
