THE ATHENS GEORGIAN: NOVEMBER 14, 1876.
aharn,
*▲11 stand in
When the good cause seemed most forlorn,
He laughed the towards’ hearts to scorn;
When groping wide, they-could not see,.
-He rose and said;-Gome, follow me 1
The state is proud-that gave him birth :
His fame extends through all the earth;
Through all the HuionVi'breadth and length,
A watchword and a tower of strength.
-Corruption shrinks and stands aghast,
W hen’er she hears his -bugle ‘blast.
Ifou cannot break, you -cannot bond,
You cannot swerve him from his end.
The Empire State ley near to death,
When even the boldest held their breach;
In the dork hour of sorest need
He slew the giant robber Tweed.
Tire fetid slimo from whence there springs
The serpent brood «f thievish Kings*
How wise, deliberate aud slow
He waits, to strike the heavier blow.
Ho more is heard their fiendish mirth;
They walk no more the goodgreen earth;
By swamp and lake, in vale and hill, ‘
They lie entombed, and cold, rad still.
Ho seems most fit to lead the van;
In him behold the Honost Man
It seems that this centennial time
Had come to make the hour sublime.
The people’s heart toward him yearns,
Around him where the battle burns—
He cannot shrink, he will not fail,
He wears such shining coat of mail.
Through all the land wide rings his name,
Each stato has caught the patriot fame;
The north and eouth, the east and west,
He wears triumphant on his crest.
He gambling dens of stocks and cards
Comprise his friends and body guards.
He keeps bis post where’er it be ;
He never loiters by the sea.
From vaulted base to towering roof,
His treasury doors are burglar proof;
His only charm against mischance
Is bnt Eternal Vigilance 1
All hearts will welcome that bright hour,
When honest men, restored to power,
Will lead the way the Fathers trod,
To reverence Virtue, Truth, and God.
He springs from noblest Pilgrim stock;
He is the fortress and the rock,
The standard true, who holds the keys,
The Cato and Aristides.
Hail I to the year of jubilee,
The people shall once more be free;
They want no despot, knave, or sham,
But what they want is Uncle Sam.

Death of Santa Anna.
A great old man, whom the world
knows as Santa Anna, died in the
city of Mexico on the 28th ult. He
was born at Jalapa, in 1798, and first
became prominent in the war for
independence in 1822, when he ex*
pelled the royalists from Vera Graz,
'and was appointed to the command
of that city. The same year he was
deposed Dy the self-proclaimed Em
peror Iturbide, but young Santa
Anna raised the banner of the repub
lic in Vera Cruz, and a year later
compassed Iturbide’s downfall. From
that time until old age compelled
him to retire from active pursuits, he
was the one oonspicuous figure of
Mexican history.
He was a leader in every revolu
tion or political intrigue, and at dif
ferent times ruled Mexico aspresi-.
dent, dictator or soldier. His lile
was a scries of almost unbroken mili
tary successes until 1H36, after storm
ing the Alatno and massacreing its
heroic defenders, he was routed at
San Jacinto by the Texan army un
der Sam Honsto-* and takefi prisoner.
The year 1847 fonnd him provisional
president of Mexico and on his way
with twenty thousand men to meet
Gen. Taylor and defeated at Buefiji
Vista.. Gen. Scott defeated him again
at Cerro Gordo in the same year, and
■finally, Contre
ras, Chwubusco, Molinos dol Bay and
the ci’y -of Mexico, he was compelled
to wsigri tlio^ Executive Chair. Ihe
siege of Jhu'blo I'ollowea, where ,Gej»,
Lane forced him to retire, ahd in
February, 1*48, cojnsofflus that his
cause' was lost, Santa, Ann a obtain i*d
permission to retire Vo Jamaica. He
was recalled in 1853, after years of
wangles had fumed the eyes of the
Mexicans to Santa Auna as the one
man who could restore peace and
control the factions. He was declared
president for life,.but his rule was
despotic, and after two years of revo
lution, Geiy Alvarez forced him to
sign an unconditional abdication. A
few years ago, after residing in Ven-
zuela and in the Island of St Thomas,
he returned to spend his remaining
years amid the scenes of his former
greatness
A Robbers’ Romance.
From the S« Francisco Post, Oct J£.
68 the itnge-
’cit^r,'Idaho,
to Corinne, Utah, was stopped By
five stage-ro'.bers, and treasure, in
trusted to Wells, Fafgo & Co. $' tj ,e
amount of 864,000, stolen." .The foot
pads divided the gold-dust and coin,
buried the hullipp, amounting to
about $50,000, near thp sbeno of the
robbery, ami then fled in different
directions, each one selecting his own
course. Ope of the rohhers, with the
design of treating his fellows, re
turned to the “ plant,” unearthed and
burled it about four miles distant, and
proceeded about his business. A few
flays after he was captured by the
authorities, and with two others of
the gang, who were subsequently
arrested, sent to the Nevada State
prison at Cars* u for eight years. It
seems that the robber who transplant
ed the treasure kept the secret for
some years, hut finally told his asso
ciates of the circumstances -of the
case, and later, when taken down
with a fatal illness, communicated the
secret to a guard in the State prison
who had been uniformly kind to him.
This guard endeavored to find u the
plant,” but the description of the
place of burial was so iuaccurate that
he was unable to find it, but after
several unsuccessful efforts to unearth
it, concluded to give the agents of
Wells, Fargo & Co. the benefit of
his information. The result was that
about a year ago Wells, Fargo & Co.
engaged S. Robertson of Oakland, to
“ work up ” the case, offering him a
handsome percentage of whatever
bullion he should recover.
Mr. Robert visited the spot where
the plant was supposed to be and
found conclusive evidence that he had
reached it, hut unfortunately for him
the plant had been raised and removed
to another place, evidently by the
foot pads who survived the original
mover of the treasure, and who, it
appears, a short time before Mr.
Robertson reached the spot, had been
released from the state prison. In
vestigation convinced the detective
that a portion of the bullion, amount-
i.ig to about $13,000 or $15,000, had
been disposed of in various places
around Virginia City, and it was
finally traced to the Carson mint,
where it was run into coin. The
robbers, alanped at the close watch
kept upon their movements, separated
and disappeared. In May last, three
of the robbers, without any prear
rangement whatever, and without the
iaintest suspicion that they were
within hundreds of miles of each
other, met in a saloon in Panainint.
None of the trio had a cent, and
while they were discussing the feasi
bility of stopping the Panamint stage,
one of the party said that if lie were
in San Francisco he could easily ob
tain the means to take him to the
spot where the “plant’’ was and
raise it, suggesting at the same time
that they had been away to long
from that section of the country that
the authorities had given up all hopes
of either finding the bullion or ob
tain evidence upon which to rearrest
them. To make a long story short,
they found the means to reach this
city.
As soon as they got here they
looked around for some oue to fur-
JMN >wW l?onejarqp
where the bullion was^ hid; and after
stone little difficulty managed to
arouse tire cupidity of Geo. R. Railey,
a young man doing business in Oak'
land. Ho. 'fuVui>lu*d ; them money,
and in Juno last tlev trareled:a<jross
the mountains and on their amaze
ment discovered that .the bullion had
been carried away. They spent a
week or so in a vain s arch for the
treasure and returned to this city.
Ou their way down they concluded
to swindle the outride partner.
They either manufactured or ob
tained possession of a bogus bar of
bullion, with a thin veneering of
rinmiimm gold. This bar they pro-
tended to have raised from the cache,
And it was turned over to Bailey, but
not nntil he had paid $775 in solid
t wenties for it. The supposed bar of
gold Briley kept hid away in the city
for several days, bnt concluding that
it would be safe in Oakland, put
it in a satchel .on the. ‘20th of July
last, and went on the Oakland boat
It appears the parties who had swin
dled Bailey, anticipating trouble as
sopn as the rascality was detected,
kept track of Bailey’s movements,
and, learning that he was going over
on the boat, dispatched three young
men to seize .the satchel and throw it
overboard. The programme was
followed ont to the letter. Bailey’s
attention was attracted elsewhere and
in a twinkling the satchel was
snatched from his hand and thrown
into the hay. It can he readily un-
derstrod vrtiy Bailey made no ontcry.
He carefully took in the bearings of
the spot where the satchel dropped,
and, falling to recover it, boldly pro
cured a warrant fer the arrest of the
parties, charging them w'th grand
larceny in stealing a bar of bullion
valued at $6,500. They were arres
ted last night in Oakland, and gave
the names of William F. Williams,.
HenryThompson and James Langley.
Thompson is'said to have respectable
connections. In the court to-day
the accnsed waived preliminary ex
amination for no other purpose than
to shut ont the facts of the case.
The cross-examination of one of
the, witnesses developed the fact that
the bar was bogus, which appeared
to greatly astonish the prosecuting
witness. However the counsel for
the defense said he wished to make
nq defense heforce the police court,
and would go before the grand jury.
The court held the parties to answer
in $8,000 hail each. The case is one
of the most remarkable which ever
came up in this city. What has be
come of the missing $35,000 is a mys
tery, hut it is presumed that in some
way the location of the bullion was
discovered, by some one coneected
with the state prison at Carson, and
removed.
