SOKI'MEHN BANNER: JULY 23, 1SJS. [ Atlanta Constitution.) The Jones Case. Report of Auditor J. M. Pace— , Full Statement of the Debits in the Cask. To the Four Winds—Heaven Help Them! The report of the auditor, Hon. J. M. Pace, in the case of the State va. John Jones, late Treasurer, cov ers sixty densely written pages, and indicates a minute and thorough in vestigation into the accounts of the Treasurer. The report debits Jones Five weepihg children were left, orphans the other day by the death -of tfvej* tnqthpr, 4. widow who lived onfro^MBo^ afreet. The father waa kille d at pipeKif-the depots about two years ago, and since then the mother had kept the family together by hard days' work. Lack of food, exposure and worry brougltt on an illness which terminated fatally, and the children prior to January 1, 1872, redeemed by Henry Clews & Co. with moneys of the State (arising from the sale of gold bonds of the State, known as the seven per cent, gold quarterlies), with $149,250 State bonds, matnred .huddled together in a corner of the and subsequently paid by Treasurer} and held a whispered conversation. Jones, carelessly and negligently. $2,500 State bonds, redeemed by the Fourth National Bank of New York (the financial agent of the State in New York) during the term of An- gier, Treasurer, and improperly cred ited to Jones, November 80, 1874. $27,500 State bonds redeemed by Fourth National Bank in the early part of 1873 by exchanging for softie other State bonds, issued in 1872, and not charged to Jones on his accounts with the State. For this $27,500 credit was. taken 1 by Jones, and the amount is, by the auditor, cliarged back to him ou his account. On the foregoing bonds, interest paid, or claimed to have been paid by Jones, amounting to about $25,000, is denied by the auditor as a proper credit to Jones. In addition to the foregoing items of debit, the report farther de bits the ex-Treasurer with about $40,000 in gold coupons, paid by the Fourth National Bank in 1871, and improperly credited to Jones in 1874. Sundry items of credit claim ed by Jones, tis not embraced in credits had to him in his accoants with the State at the time of his re moval from office, are denied to him, but for the most part allowed as right ful credit. The total indebtedness ot the ex-Treasurer at the time of his removal from office, November 25, as shown by the report, is about $250,000. room feeling awed* and frightened, but yet unable to realise that death had nuide them waifs.

Theodosia Burr, the idolized daughter of the first conspirator against the Republic, comes to the front as regularly as the “ Man in the Iron Mask,” the author of the letters of “ Junius” or the writer of “ Beau tiful Snow/’ The story of her loss on her passage from Charleston to New York in .1812 has often been told, but the mystery sut rounding her death has never been, solved, un less a recent discovery may do so. All that was known was that the ship on which she sailed was lost and never afterwards heard of. No one knew whether it foundered at sea or was wrecked on some part of the coast. Colonel J. II. Wheeler, in an address before the Carolina II s- torical Society, has perhaps thrown light on this interesting subject He stated that an “ exquisite photograph of the original painting of Theodosia Burr’’ was in possession of Dr. W. G. Pool, who resides near Elizabeth City, in Eastern North Carolina, and who accounted for its possession bv remarking that eight or ten years ago he visited a family near Cape Hatteras and observed hanging on the wall an “ exquisite oil painting of -a beautiful woman.” On inquiry he was told that it had been discovered by the roan of the house, then eighty years of age, with other articles, when a youth, 011 a vessel that had been wrecked near Cape Hatteras iu -a furious storm thfit occurred iu the Winter of 1812 or 1813, and in which a|l on board were drowned. The portrait thus saved, and from which the photograph has been ta ken, from its resemblance iu a stri king degree to Theodosia Burr Alston, is believed to be that of Burr’s ill fated daughter. It has since been sent from North Carolina to a gentleman iu Washington. And thus the mystery of her death, it is thought, is at this late day explained. It is known that the unaccounted loss of his daughter greatly afflicted and depressed Burr in his later life.

As none of the poor women seemed prepared to take •o young a child, a girl not over ten year* old, dressed a little belter than other children there, crept into the group, reached out for the babe, patted his white head, kiss- d him and •aid: * , M .I will take thuione 1 I have no brother, and «n» and pa will let me -keep him.

M Come, hubby— yoV»re mine now!” called the girl, and he laughed as she put her arms around hint and tried to lift him up. By and by a woman said: Child ren, yon have ueilher father, mother nor home. You must be divided up or go to the poor-house. Kiss each other, poor orphans, and all kiss the baby!” They put their arms around him, and hugged and kissed him, mid th-y went oat from the old hbgso to go in different directions and perhaps never again to meet all together..
