lAFlo (uT VOL. X. NO. 26. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JULY 30, 18G9. DOUBLE SHEET THREE CENTS. I Pa A. FIRST EDITION LAND SWINDLES. I.wa In a Pnd Odnr-Ilrnvy Invent went In lld-CRl Krai liNtntc. The Chicago Tribune has tho following: Tlic Tribune's late article upon tho Iowa land fwlndle has caused a irrenter flutter In real estates circles, not only In this city, but elsewhere, than they have experienced for n lontf time. Larijo numbers of people have (jot to comparing notes, and the consequence Is that the developments of the land-swindlinir operations in Northwestern Iowa have hcun to assume elephantine pro lortions. One old gentleman, residing in the southern jart of this cilv, In reading over the abstract of title published'with the former article in this paper, ".as forcibly struck with the similarity ol the numbers of some of the sections mentioned there with others of those in the same locality which for a long time he had imagined to bo his on possessions. An investigation followed, w hich ended in his being shown that tho larger art of t'.O.OOO acres of land, which he and his son had lately purchased from agents, at rates Mirj iiif; from 75 cents to 3 an acre, was a bogus purchase, from which they would not rea lize one-fiftieth part f the money Invested. In another instancr, on Wednesday of last week a banker on Dearborn street was Instructed to make certain purchases of Iowa lands. The banker was shown one of the attracts of title, which arc generally exhibited on these occa sions, and, without any hesitancy, paid over his counter In the neighborhood of 10.000 for certain tracts which were therein de scribed; and only had his attention called to h'm worthless bargain by the publication of the swindle in last week's tribune. There are scores of other just such eases in this city, and each day adds to the list of people who have found themselves victimized in the most complete manner. As the ease at present stands, even those who have unquestioned titles to Iowa lands do not ecem to feel satisfied until they have made "assurance doubly sure," and had their titles to the lands legally investi gated. These swindling operations have not been con fined to Chicago. There is every reason to be lieve that duplicates of these abstracts have not only been used in the principal Western cities, but as far east as New York. There Is no esti mating the number of times that these North western Iowa lands may have been sold and re Bold, or the number of people that have been swindled OHt of their money by the transfers. Already parties In Detroit, Northern Michigan, and Milwaukee arc writing on here to find out what further developments have been made. No arrests have as yet been attempted, be cause of the exceeding ditliculty there would be in proving a case of fraud. As a matter of law, no party can be charged criminally In these transactions where it appears lie has a color of title to the warrant. The abstracts which are used here by the pretended agents of the pre tended owners of the lands are perfectly legiti mate on their faces, and whatever criminality there Is in the business can easily be shifted upon the county ollicers of the localities in Iowa where these lands are said to be situated. It behooves the proper Iowa authorities to look after this matter. If, as it is charged, all the county ollicers in the northwestern couuties of that State are elected in the interests of speculators, and to further just such swindles as this, the sooner they are removed or indicted the better will it bo for the hitherto fair reputation of that young and growing State. As the case now stands, the market, in this city at least, for lands in Northwestern Iowa, is exceedingly dull and flat. There are no trans fers being made whatever. HILDEBRAM). The Latent Efforts to Secure the Notorious JMiHNOiirl Outlaw. The citizens of St. Francois county, Missouri, have been roused to vigorous measures, offen sive and defensive, against the notorious and apparently ubiquitous llildebrand. At a mass meeting in the court-house of Farmington, on the !22u instant, the Governor and many other State officers being present, the following reso lutions were unanimously adopted: "That we deeply deplore the situation of our county, infested with the desperado and outlaw, Samuel llildebrand. "That the Governor of the State be and he is hereby requested to appoint ten special deputy sheriffs, under the provision of an act of tho General Assembly, approved March, 18liti, to bo continued in service as long as the Governor shall deem proper. "That inasmuch as said law does not provide a euillcient compensation for said deputies, tho county court of this county, now in session, make at once the necessary appropriation for their pay in addition to that allowed by law. "That we, the citizens of this county, will proceed at once to organize, In each township, companies of which not less than ten shall at all times be in readiness to act, which organizations shall respond to the call of any one or more of said deputies, at any time, when called upon to execute tho law. "That it is tho duty of every citizen of this country to give all necessary information as to all persons charged with the commission of crime, and to render all the assistance In their power to arrest such offenders. "That we brand as bad and unworthy citizens all those who fail or refuse to perform the duties aforesaid. , "That we, the citizens of St. Francois county, pledge ourselves to carry out the foregoing reso lutions in good faith, and to a faithful execution of the laws throughout said county, irrespective f 'l'hat the companies of ten be left for the se lection of the ten deputies which are to be chosen by the Governor." LAWLESS. The Troublea nt Fdjteficl.l, H. :.- The Negroe Mill ill I'OMHfHHiOII. From the Awjuxta (Wo.) Sentinel, July 26. The negro militia, who captured tho town on last Friday morning, are still in possession of Edgefield Court House, S. C. Their commanders now are the notorious State Constable, John B Hubbard, better known as one of tho witnesses against Mrs. Surratt in the military murder of Iw, and two or three others of Scott's myr midons. A heavy guard is still posted around the jail, in which two or three prisoners are con fined on suspicion of having been "Uebel bush whackers." The negro militia are armed with splendid weapons, the same shipped to them from Columbia by Governor Scott on last Friday. The weapons are t itles, of the kind known as tho "Winchester make," and shoot sixteen times w ith great accuracy. It is confidently expected that the negro mili tia will be further reluforced by the arrival, in a day or two, of one company of United States Infantry, which, it seems, the people are taxed to support in order that it mav travel through tho country onpressinir tho innocent inhabitants. Among the numerous evils which have resulted to the people of Edgefield from tho Invasion of the county by the negro militia has beeu the de sertion of tho fields by tho negro laborers. Many of the planters have employed negro laborers for the year, and contracted to give them a portion of the crop made instead of waires. As soon as the eapture of Edgefield Court House by tho negro militia was heard of, nearly all these farm hands left their employers and crowded into the town for tho purpose of Iolnlnir their colored military comrades. Many farmers are thus left high and dry, so far as planting is concerned, and many of them are without a single hand on their plantations. THE TEXAS FLOODS. The Intr(U Pptnlln I-o of the Corn Crop Kf t form lo Mecure a Cotton Crop. Our Texas exchanges continue to furnish de tails of the damages by the recent freshets in that State. The Houston Telegraph publishes the following from Columbus: In all there were but three lives lost as far as we have heard about town. From the country or the bottoms we cannot hear, as tho water is yet very high. All the plantations on the river are literally ruined, though some of tho planters have still a hope of making a fair crop, pro vided the plants are not entirely killed, which cannot be told yet. So far ns heard from, the negroes are hard at work trying to save the rails, and w here the water has gone down they are building fences and trying for a crop any how, at least cotton; as for the corn, that Is all gone. The Austin (lazette has the following: About nine miles below us on the river, In the neighborhood of Mr. Coalson, a widow lady, name not remembered, with six small children, driven from her house, which was swept by the high water, took refuge in a tree with all" her little ones. As the Hood brought along fence rails and drift wood, she caught them and con structed a sort of ratt around the tree, so that when one of her children slept and fell, It was caught by the platform below. Here the heroic mother, with ajl her precious treasures, re mained for twenty-four hours, until Mr. Coal son constructed a boat and took them all safely to the shore. The Victoria Advocate savs the loss in the valley of the Gaudalupe will be very heavy, though cotton only partially submerged seems to be still growing. It Is thought the cotton worms in the valley were drowned out. While Mr. Whitney and two negroes were attempting to cross the river, the boat capsized and one of the negroes was drowned. The Helton Journal reports that some planta tions on Little river had been submerged, but the danger is comparatively light In thatcouuty. The Hastrwp Advertiser gives the names of about a hundred planters In that county who have lost from 500 to 15, 000. The Advertiser savs: The destruction to property has been great; many farmers have been stripped of cotton and corn, thousands of rails, some few houses, and any number of cabins. Furniture, clothing, provisions, and valuables of all kinds followed in the wake of the resistless tide. Hundreds of freedmen were forced to take refuge in trees, and children were lashed to trees, in which con dition they remained for twenty-four hours or more before assistance was given by pr.rtics with skiffs. Hut it would fill the columns of our paper to recite half that has been told us of the thrill ing events connected with tho llood that occurred in the river bottom. In conclusion, however, the same paper says; We confidently believe that the crops have not been cut short "more than one-half, and possiblv not more than one-third, of what thejr would have been had this misfortune not have befallen us. Let us be hopeful, and thankful that our condition is uot worse. TENNESSEE. Sentcr ltesionl to n Serenade ami Do linen Ilia Position. Frem the Xashville Union, July 25. A large crowd of the friends of suffrage and Senter, accompanied by the Rock City Band, last night visited the rooms of tho Governor on the Square, for the purpose of attesting their appreciation of the bold, fearless, and effective manner in which he has borne through tho State the standard of free principles. After several stirring pieces by the baud, Governor Senter made his appearance. He said that he had just arrived from Gallatin, where he hnd been in conflict with the "Uald Eagle of the Mountains," and felt too weary to make a speech If, indeed, it wouhl ue lair to do so in he absence ot his competitor, ite could not. however, he said, allow the occasion to pass without expressing his thanks to his friends for the houor they had done him personally, as well as the zeal they were manifesting In support of just principles, uovernor senior saiu mat no had now traversed the greater part of the State, meeting General Stokes In discussion before the people, and felt sure that ho had not labored in vain. Upon the support of the franchise, the popular heart was beating in unison with tho principles he had avowed in tno commence ment of the canvass. Even amid the blue nioun- ains of East lenncsseo, where It was thought his position in regard to enfranchisement would uot be popular, he iound the honest masses sus taining his views, and confidently expected to obtain a majority of the votes cast in that division of the State. He had driven his competitor to the wall, and iuteuded to give him no chance to escape. Assuring his friends that "the work was going bravely on," aud that complete and glorious victory was certain on tho 5th of Au gust, the Governor again thanked his friends, and retired amid vociferous cheering.

The talk was all fight, there was no cud or wagers, but no takers. Hennessy proposed to stake 1000 to $000 that Allen would not win both matches with Gallagher and McCoole, and deposited 100 with McCoole as a forfeit, to bo covered within ft week. McCoole offered the same odds. Tom Kelly, McCoolc's trainer, was present, and speaks in the highest confidence of his man. During the evening's conversation, a friend or Kelly's offered to make a first deposit of 500 that he (Kelly) could whip any mnu in the coun try at 150 pounds weight. There was a lull of conversation for a moment, when a casual visitant, who kuew little of the mettle he was opposing, expressed a quasi dis position to produce au opponent, but of whose exact weight ho was not confident. Says O'Baldwin: "Bring on your man; be he big as a bull, or small as a terrier, wo will ac commodate him." ..... t McCoole is in much better condition than when he encountered Allen.

A petition for divorce in tho Chicago courts the other day has developed the following curi ous history: In the year 1859 there lived In a Swiss valley an interesting family of wealth and culture named Junod. Monsieur Junod found his sole happiness in a lovely daughter named Lucie, who was the most admired belle of that portion of the canton. The father, a man of stern, soli tary nature, the descendant of a long lino of mi n who hnd exercised the rights of lordship over all the beautiful vineyards that bloomed beneath them, though somewhat fallen from the state of his forefathers, still nourished feelings of ancestral pride. In some ot the merry-makings peculiar to the w ine-bearing districts, In which, by the time honored requirements of tradition, all ranks meet together in a common jubilee. Mad'lle 1 ucie met with a young man named Gustave Flotrou, of person handsome And attractive, and by trade a watchmaker. The abnegation of everything like social distinction enaiiled Flo trou to approach the lady with a familiarity to which he would otherwise never have presumed. The lady fell blindly in love with the humble watchmaker, lie, flattered by the preference, dazzled by her beauty, and, not improbably, still more" strongly attracted by her fortune, ardently reciprocated. The first meeting was followed by many others, of course clandestine. Her fancy, united to the inexperience of girlhood, gave him every oppor tunity to press his suit, aud he became her ac cepted lover. The father still supposed that his daughter knew no love but the affection of a daughter to her father. The day of awakening came at last, and the daughter was forbidden, under the severest threats, again to see the audacious iwpirant. The conflict between love and duty ended as such warfares commonly re sult Cupid carried the day. The lady was'pos sessed of a fortune of seventy-five thousand dol lars in her own right, which made her compara tively easy. . So one night she made a moonlight flitting with her swain. To avoid the unpleasant cir cumstances of living in a country where all the facts were known, where she might auy time meet her offended father, they determined to come to America. Nine years elapsed, and the man for whom she gave up all, instead of being the devoted, affectionate husband she expected to find, proved, according to her allegations, to be a brute and a sot. His lavish expenditure and reckless pursuit of all kinds of pleasure gradually dissipated the noble fortune she had brought him. Valuable silver plate w hichshc had also possessed was conveyed bv him to the silversmiths, and converted into funds to pamper his appetites. The wile's wardrobe and private jewels, even, were appropriated with brutal disregard of the feelings of her who had sacrificed everything to his pleadings. One stroke of ill-treatment fol lowed another in swift succession, until Mrs. Flotrou, outraged beyond endurance, and fear ful of personal violence to herself and her child, a lovely little girl of eight years, was forced to have recourse to the final remedy. And thus, yesterday morning, only a day or two after tho anniversary of her marriage, nine years ago, a petition for divorce was filed in this city. WITH THE INDIANS. lteturn of nn Ohioitn alter Sojourning Thirty Yenrs with the ItedsliiiiH. From the Sandusky Ohio) Register, July 28. Thirty-three years ago there lived in Lcwlston, Logan county, a farmer by the name of Harris Hopkins, who had a child, a boy, between three and four years of aye. One day, while the farmer was at work in a field soino distance from the farm-house, tho boy started from the house across the fields to see his father. The last seen of the little fellow was when ho left the house. Hundreds of people turned out to search for the lost child. The river was dragged, the woods searched, rewards offered, but all to no purpose. After days of weary and anxious search, the little fel low was given up by the parents and sympa thizing frisuds. The few Indians living lu that neighborhood were friendly aud peaceable, and no suspicion ever attached to them, and tho affair was forgotten or only talked of as a mys terious disappearance. The Hopkins family at length left their old homo aud settled in Illinois, and up to ten days ago none of their old neigh bors in Logan county had expected to see any member of the family again. The astonishment of the old settlers in and about the neighborhood can be conceived when, the week before last, a tall man, browned by exposure to the sun and storm, and speaking the broken English of the half-cftilized Indians, made his appearance at Lewiston, and claimed to bo the child missed thirty-three years ago. He stated that a Cliero kee 'Indian, wandering through that section, had enticed him from the field as ho was going in search of his father and had carried him to the Far West. The old chief had treated him as liis own sou, and having been taken away at so early an age, the memory of his parents and former life had faded from his mind. For thirty odd years he lived as an Indian, and supposed that he was the son of the old chief who claimed to bo his father. A few months since the chief, then high in rank In the Cherokee Nation, and very advanced in age, found himself on his death-bed. Shortly before he died he called his adopted son to his bedside and informed him who and what he was. As soon as the old chief was dead and burled, Hopkins came to Logan county in search of his parents, whom he found had moved to Champaign City, 111. He, however, remained during last week at Lewistown, to gratify the curiosity of the old settlers, who had aided iu the search for him thirty-three years ago. His reappearance has caused quite as much ex citement In Logan county as did his sudden and mysterious disappearance a third of a century "g0 -,. ANOTHER FOlMiERY. A Sharper nt the Hub Secures $N000. The Boston Journal says: A very bold and successful forgery was per petrated In this city on Tuesday, which resulted in a present proflt'of $8000 to the forger. The circumstances are substantially as follows: Some time duriug Tuesday a check for $8000, bearing apparently tho signature of Messrs Brewster, Sweet A: Co., bankers at No. 40 State street, was presented at tho Second Na tional Bank, corner of Slate street and Merchants' Row, and was cashed- The check was written upon a blank similar to those used by Brewster, Sweet & Co., fint the imitation was so imperfect that the clerk of Brewster, Sweet Si Co. detected the forgery in an instant when he was making up his accounts yesterday morning. The signature of the firm was an excellent for gery, and might have deceived had it been written on oue of the blank checks used by the firm. The checks are made payable to the bearer or order, and In this instance tho name used upon the face aud indorsed upon tho back of the check when It was presented at the Second National Bank w as that of C.

Brewster, Sweet & Co. do not know, except that a medium-sized man bearing that name brought some gold to their banking house on Monday, and it was bought by them, a cheek being given for It. Tho iitn wanted tho money immediately, and ono of the firm accompanied him to the Second Na tional Bauk, where the check was cashed. He was accompanied to tho bank because Brewster, Sweet & Co had a definite understanding with the National Bauk that their checks for more than a certain amount should not be cashed un less the bearers had special orders from them or w ere personally indorsed by the firm. In the case of the payment of the forged cheek there were no such order or indorsement.

Washington, July !10. The grand row be tween the rivul factions In Mississippi Is still in an inextricable muddle. Judge Dent, It appears, has written a letter defining his position and policy, in which ho says that ho Isa National Re publican, opposed to the extreme ptoscriptive measures of the party, and places himself un equivocally upon the Walker platform of Vir ginia, advocating universal amnesty and uni versal suffrage. In all these positions he claims to bo in unison with the President. On one hand, it 1 claimed that he will persist in being a can didate for Governor of Mississippi, while on the other It Is asserted that, in deference to President Grant's wishes, ho will retire from the contest. The extreme radi cals of the State, however, appear determined to head him off if tbe thing Is possible. R. C. Powers, chairman; General J. Tarbell, secretary of the Executive Committee of the Republican party of Mississippi; Judge Gillenwaters, of Corinth; and Mr. George B. Jonas, representing the straight-out Republicans, are among those who arc now here for the avowed pwrposo of inducing the administration to forestall him, and to set before the President and tho Cabinet what they claim to be the true condition of affairs iu that State. The Republican party of the Stale is, according to their statements, united, and it is asserted that the .real Republi cans who have given support to the Dent move ment can he counted without much difficulty. They seem to think that they have the best of it so far. The Indian Committees. The special Indian committee appointed by the President to visit Kansas and the Indian Territory, in the double interest of the Indians and the Government, have arrived in Kansas aud have already commenced their investiga tions. Tho committee appointed by the Phila delphia Quakers to look after and assist their brethren in Nebraska have reached their desti nation and are at work.

The i:crntlon of John (irlllln, nt Hamilton, Ohio -The Crime mid Trial. A despatch dated yesterday from Hamilton, O., says: John Griftin, tho murderer of Uriel TrUkctt, was hanged to-day iu the jail of this place, at precisely ten minutes after As this was the tirst execution in tills county, the people from the surrounding country flocked to the seen In large numbers. On the morning of June IS, 1S3, Uriel Priekett, a professional wrestler of somo repu tation, was shot dead in a saloon known as the "Hole-ln-the-Wall." For some days after the murder no clue could be obtained to tho perpe trator of the deed. But at length, after con siderable inquiry and search, John Griilin, George N. Shedd, Joseph Kelly, and Thoiius Connaughton, Jr., were arrested on suspicion of being implicated in the murder. None of these suspicions, however, were positive. At the Coroner's inquest the jury found a verdict against Grifliu as principal in, and against the other three as accessories, to the murder. After many delays and postponements, John Grifliu was tried in the Circuit Court in this place, Judge Gillmore presiding. Kelly turned State's evidence, and swore positively that Gritlin was the man who fired the fatal shot. The jury, alter a short absence, returned with a verdict of "Guiltyof murder in the first degree," and the prisoner "was sentenced to be executed on the !ith of May last. An application for a writ of error was made to tlie Supreme Court, and tlie execution of tlie sentence was suspended until a hearing could beobtained. Tlie Supreme Court refused to grant the writ, and tixed the day of execution tor the 'Jllth instant. On tlie XJlst int. four desperadoes confined in the jail attempted to release Grifliu. They at tacked the turnkey and tried to possess them selves of the prison key, and might have been successful had not women who were passing at tlie time given tlie alarm. During tho nieleo Griilin stood at the cell door, but did uot utter one word. When his would-be rescuers were secured he remarked with au oath: "Tho next time vou undertake to get me out 1 want you to do it." After this ho relinquished all hopes of a re- prlve or pardon, aud prepared himself for his approaching doom. Ho litis been visited con stantly by Rev. Father Hone, tho Catholic priest of Hamilton, who has administered to him tho consolations of religion. Griilin slept well on tho evening preceding his execution, and arose apparently cheerful and happy. But as tho fatal hour approached ho lost his self-composure, and turned deadly pale. He recovered somewhat, but thereafter con tinued to tremble and shake fearfully. On the scaffold he protested his innocence, thanked his friends for their kindness to him during his in carceration, aud forgave his enemies. Every thing being in readiness, the drop fell, and John Gritlin had terminated his earthly career. His neck was broken by the fall, and death was almost Instantaneous.

The resources of the banks are not favora ble to the expansion of loans, but, generally speak ing, customers of good standing can obtain limited amounts at legal rates. The range for loans on call is (n 8 per cent., but the large ollerlngs of good ami prime mercantile paper forced upon outside leaders gives an appearance of Irregularity to the discount market which makes It diltlcult to quote. The range for the same class of notes is 8(ia per cent., accord ing to circumstances. Gold Is only moderately active in our market, hut quite strong, opening at 138 and closing about noon at 13tiJ. Iu Government loans there Is very little anima tion here, but in New York the transactions are very heavy, aud prices have advanced over closing quo tations of yesterday. There was a good business effected in stocks this moruing, but prices were weak, state loans wer dull.

"There was a pause in the speculative feeling to day, which led to a rattier dull market lu the earlier hours of business. At the morning sessions of tho stock and Government hoards there was little move ment outside of the few leading stocks which hav been the chief features of Interest during the pas fortnight. The money market exhibited a little more activity, and iu loans on pledge of stock and mis cellaneous collaterals the prevailing rate was seven percent. There were, of course, many except ions ak six, w hich was the general rate on Governments, the transactions ut live on tho latter securities being also more exceptional, it is dlillcult to say why there should tie these little variations from day to Ihv In tlie late on call, but the local money market contains w ithin Itself many little currents which go to alU ct its general character. New York city Is an empire In Itseir, and the movements of funds up ami down town, from one bauk to another, or from one kind of enterprise to another, doubtless cause the tlurtuattotis. Again, the speculation ill stocks to-ilay was, in the mum, a rising one that Is, there w eie more buy-cos than sellers. Tho desire to en gage lomls whs therefore more general. For the future of the money market little concern is felt. The banks have been gradually increasing their n sources, and the Government bond pi I re liases of yesterday and to-day will assist their easier con dition. Tlie Treasury has disbursed within the two days nearly live miliums of currency, one-half In legal-tenders. w hlch, In going to increase that Item of the hunn,will swell the llgiire of legal reserve. Fo reign exchange was quiet and steady nn tho basis of 1 lo ', for prune honkers' no day sterling bills. Very 111 tie was doing, however, the remittances finding ail outlet in produce and cotton bills or in bills drawn against bonus. "The range for hankers was from 109 'i tolioy. For sight the quotations ranged from 1 10 V to liojj, the former being the ilgure for net transact Ions with brokers. Commercial putter was in fair request, the demand Increasing each day, now that it is certain the ride lor money cannot go almve seven per cent. For prime notes of long and short periods the ex treme rales were eight to twelve per cent., with sales ut the Interineiiiate liuuics Tlie circumstance which gave tone to the later speculation of the day, and i lumped tin; dullness Into c m para live activity, was a report Unit Secrelioy Itnuuvcll wouhl purchase liltecn millions of bonds during the mo'dli of August. Whether the report is ti ue or not ami In the absence of the press despatches from Washington it Is as vet indefinite it whs siiilleit nt to create considerable excitement In the Government market, where the li'.'s advanced to 124 , and 67s lo 121 7. The pur chases were made pi ineipiilly on account of promi nent steck In uses" who seemed conlldent of the tiuth of the intelligence. Now If there has b"en another "leak ' in the Tn a-mry Department, Mr. lioutwt 11 should make a rigid investigation. Yes terday he clesed up the purchases outside of the sinking fund, and the public were natu rally anxious to learn his policy for the ensuing month. If his decision is to continue these purchases then the spocula'ors have got the inside track again. It was Mr. Koutwell's order that no news of Treasury operations should lie com municated nntll uftcr banking hours. Yet to-day, at. tlie session of l lie Government board.whieti meets at a quarter past two o'clock, there we'e plenty of "orders" to buy on the strength of a report that he intended purchasing llfteen millions of bonds dur ing August. The coupon ten-forties were active and sold at 11274", and the currency sixes at 109 ','. The market was easils susceptible of an advance, owing to an Improvement hi London, whence tlie price ciime S3,',. The bonds purchased for the sinking fund were In the lots and at tlie prices following: 1864, registered, 120-i!5; 152, registered, 120-15; 1865, registered (new), 120-22, ls2, registered, 120-21; 1868, coupon, 120-33; ls2, registered, 119-87; 1802, registered, 120-07; 1865, registered, 120-08; 1864, registered, 19(1 -09; 1S68, coupon, 120-33; 1864 (new), registered, 120-32; ls87, registered, 120-22; 1805, registered, 120-25; lst4, registered, 12025; 1867, registered, 120-25; 1S6S, registered, 120-25."
