Cftjit. J. 8. Conner, who waaegecially
coajmlfisioned by Governor Batapton
to arreet ex-Gov»BOor £. J. Itoses, Jr.,
in New Tork, on a requteUion upon
the Go vernor of New York, tbarglug
him wibh ewInclHng Mr. Jaa. Allan,
jeweller of ibis city, by means of a
forged note of ^osephue ■’tVoodruff In
January, 18TT. returned to tbk sDy
from New York on Tuesday morning,
by tbe steamship Atlanta, but failed
to bring with him the native young
Governor. —
During an Interview yesterday Capt.
Conner informed a reporter for the
News and Courier of all the Interest
ing circumstances of hte trip, and the
tetsons why Moses was not brought
to Charleston In his custody.
He says that he went to New York
on purely flnancial business connected
with the purchase of a steamboat.
When he reached New York, Sheriff
14ow#n, who went on t'Bo"’9ame train
with him from Charleston, handed him
thf requisition from Governor Hamp
ton, and ?or the first time notified him
of bis appointment as special agent of
the State of South Carolina to make
the arseat.
Shortly after resotving his coramis-
kfoaaitfbhe warrant of arrest from
Sheriff Bowen, he was met by Detect
ive Larrigau, who for several weeks
had Wh apedally delilied to watch
Moses and who had him spotted and
knew his every movement. After a
consultation with Sheriff Bowen Capt.
Conner was placed in possession of all
necessary inforuiatJon, and- o» Sunday
night two weeks ago Detective LarrU
gan arrested Mokes cn thf, street and
conveyed him to the central police sta
tion, and handed in tbv requisition to
Superintendent Walling.
On Monday morning o& returning
from Jersey City, where he had spent
perlntendent of pollde to taks the err
ing Governor to the Tombs, aod have
him coin ml tied' there. This advtoe
was followed but tbe justice at the
Tombs refused to receive the prisoner
on the ground that he bad! no. power
to do so,.but informed Capt. Conner
that tbe sheriff of the Eldrldge street
jail would take charge of Mose* If he-
would pay bis board. Having no Bunds
of his own to spare and- having receiv
ed no authority to draw Upon any one
in South Carolina^ Capt. Conner saw
nothing to do but to take charge of
Moses bimeslf. He accordingly took
his prisoner with him to the St. t>en-
nig Hotel,, and kept him In sight for
the balance of that day. finding It
too expensive &a operation to enter
tain his e*-Excellency at tbe hotel, and
having no moans of procuring any
funds eicopi by borpofrtoff oa. bis own
personal nota, Capt. Conner pat Moses
do his parole and gave him a dollar a
day to support himeelfi with.. Moses
reported to him dally, gab his money
and went off, until Saturday Ntst*.when
Capt. Conner told him to pack up bis
trunk and come back to go with him
on board of the steamer Charleston,
which left at 3 o’clock that afternoon.
Moses expressed every willingneka to
go, and Webfc &£ to get bis trunk ; but
he did not return, and Capt. Conner,
being pressed for time, was compelled
to take tbe steamer and leave Moses
behind. < 4>
Capt Conner describee Moses as be
ing In a very pitiable condition, with
out money, without friends, and even
foraaksb by the woman with whom he
has been living for some time In New
York ct'jt. 2e says that the legal
points havieg all been settM, it will
be an easv mattes fob any one who is
furnished w'th tbs means by tns State
to go to New York now and. take Mo
ses, as tha requisition la in Albany,
and the warraet of tbo Governor of
New York Is at police beadqua?te.’a-ln
the city of New York. The cost would
be very small, and he is of the opinion
that Moses would be glad to get back.
Tbe whole difficulty in the case ap
pears to have arisen from the fact that
the State of South Carolina furnishes
no means to execute her own warrant*,
and the parties deputixed to make the
arrest very naturally refused to un
dergo the expense themselves, with
the uncertainty of ever being refunded.

Statlsn. He reached therb about 1
o'clock p. m., and found that Mbses
had employed counsel, bad secured a
writ of habeas corpus, and was td be
brought before Judge Donahue the
next morning at 10 o’clock. Finding
that a$a<E* bad taken thle turn, Capt.
Conner that evening left New York for
Albany, and saw the Governor the
next morning, and secured from him a
wjfraei! of arrest in recognition of the
requisition from Governor Hampton.
Before lO.o’fclock a. m. he telegraphed
the superintendent of police In New
York to hold Moses, and that bs had
securml the Qovbrnor’fc Warrant., The
next day (fTuesday) he reached New
York again, and found that the super-
iatsndeat of police had received bis dk-
patch in time, and that the hearing of
Moses’s case had been postponed until
1 o’clock p. ra. of that day. At that
hoax the case came up, bnt was post
poned until the following Friday. At
that tims It was postponed until the
following Monday* and then there was
another postponement until last Tues
day a week ago.. At that time the case
came up togethref wkh a similar case
of a raau named White from Massa
chusetts before Judge Lawrence, who
annwunced that he Would render his
decieinu on Tuesday last, the 28d lost.*
In the meantime Moses was turned

worth while to hear how such a fab

Seven yt-aia ago there were two lit
tle Irlshmdb in the city of Saa Fran
cisco keeping a drlnking-bar of very
modest pretentions* close to one- of
tho principal business thoroubfares.
Their customers were ot all kinds.
Among them, was aa unusually large
proportion, of stock and share-dealers,
mining brokers and the like* who, In
the Interval oS speculation, rushed
out of the neighboring exchange five
or six times a day for drinks. Whis
key being almost the religion of Cali-
ferula, and the two little barkeepers
being careful to sell nothing but
the best article their bax-room soon
became a place popular raaort.
And as no true Californian cotdd ever

circumstances without talking abort
silver-mines or goN-mfne* or shafts
in mines, k aeon fell out that, next to
the stock exchange itself, there was
Francisco where so

saloon of Messrs. Flood ft O'Brien,

Oe Irishmen. Keeping their ears

gossip that they listened' to every day.
money lying at theft 1 bapkert. 3d*
stead of throwing It away headlong in
wild extravagant ventures, which was
the joyous custom of the avarage Cai-
ifoanlan in those days, they let it lie
where It was, waiting, with commenda
ble prudence, till they knew of some
thing good to pat it Into. They soon
heard of something good enough. On
Fair’s advice they bought shares in a
mine called the Hale and Nororoas,
and where speedily taking out of it
fi/tsea thousand pounds sterling , a
month So dividends. This mins was
the pnoperty of i company, and
though at oxC time it bad paid large
and continuous dividends, it was now
supposed to be worked out and worth-
lees. Mr. Fair, however held a dif
ferent opinion ; and when he came to
examine it taocefully, ha found just
what he expected to find—a large de
posit of silver ore. 'Shsreupon he
and Flood and OfBrien- together
bought up all tbe shares they could
lay their hand* upon*, aad* obtained
complete control of the mine. It was
Immediately put under Fair’s manage-
ment, and It prospered, and tbs three
partner* waked very rich..
Mr. Fair* being-an experienced' and
eleven practical miner, spent most ot
his time dowi In the laying out
and directing the work for hia men.
It Was necessary that he should know
all there was to be known, and sea all
there was to be seen about the prop
erty ; and he made such constant and
thorough explorations of it, that he
very soon got It by heart. In a little
time there was not an inch with which
he was not thoroughly acquainted,
not a trace of mineral In shaft or tun
nel of which he was not personally
aware. By and bye, being a reflective
kind of man, who noticed everything
aad forgot nothing, he took to thlbk-
Ing over things and putting odda and
eada ot observation together, and
comparing notes, and rutemaglhg in
old oat-of-bhe-way corners of the
mine, abd making all sorts of examin
ations in all sorts of abandoned places,
and generally carrylf^on In a curious
way, antK he finally persuaded: him
self that somewhere near the Hale and
Norcroas, there ran a gigantic veto of
sllvet-beatibg ore, whose Value he
could only calculate In figures that
frightened him to look at. Week af
ter week he hunted for this vein with
out success, and under difficulties
that would have disheartened an or
dinary! man; but he stuck to tbe
search and ultimately found a clue.
He followed It up for ten days, and
then struct tbe Bonanza, a huge sheet
of glittering stephaoite, one hundred
feel wide, of unknown length and
depth, and of the estimated value of
six hundred millions of dollars—the
mightiest fortune that ever dazzled
the eyes of (kab. In a keek be and
his paotaer* were the absolute own-
era of three fourthe of it, the prospeo-
Uve possessors of four hundred and
fifty million dollars. Figures like
thebe stuo. the Pagination.
In the excitement caused by this as
tounding diateovery it is scarcely more
than &e hard truth to aay that San
Francisco went raving mad. The
vien in which tbe bonanza was found
was known to run straight through
tbe consolidated Virginia and Califor
nia mines, dipping down as It went,
and could not be traced any further.
But that tact was nothing to the peo
ple who *6re bent ori having mining
stock ; and vein or no vien, the stock
they would have. Consequently they
bought into every mine in the neigh
borhood, good aud bad alike, sending
prices up to unheard of limits, and
investing millions in worthless prop
erties that have never yiel&d k shil
ling in dividends, and never will.
When Flood had bought a large quan
tity of the bonanza stock, and had as
sured to himself and to hi# partners
the controlling interest to the mines,
As recommended all his friends to buy
a little end G’Btfon did the same.
Those who toeh the advice are sow
drawing their proportfonata share of
dividesda aamuotfog to. about two
miilion five hundred thousand dollars
