MR: BOUTIVELL'S .REPOR7 (From the Anglo American Times.) The Treasury Report, which we publish to-day, is the document next in importance to the PRESIDENT'S Message. The first portion has reference to the Department itself, the force employed, the manufac ture of paper, engraving and printing, and the ad visability for increasing the salaries of underpaid officers, more especially the appraisers, which Mr. BO UTWE LL thinks would rather increase than de crease the revenue. Ile observes that these im portant posts do not furnish their incumbents in some of the large cities with sufficient means for the suitable support of a family, and that the Govern ment not without responsibility when it so places its officers that they have to choose between disho nesty and penury. The main interest of the Re port. in Europe will centre in the Debt, the re sumption of specie payments, the funding of the Five. Twenty Bonds, the National Revenue, and the Banking System. Mr. BOUTWELL observes that the currency is depreciated from two causes, an excessive issue, and a want of faith in the Govern ment. To ascertain the force of the first, the full extent of the second must be known. The amount of currency necessary for the business of the country cannot now be fixed accurately, but the Secretary points to a circumstance exercising, and likely to exercise, a considerable influence. When issued, the currency was confined to the Northern States, but the South_being included since the close of the war, much has flowed into that empty reservoir. - The Pacific Railroad is substituting paper for coin on the Pacific Slope, and the demand is estimated at $30,000,000. This dissemination of the currency into new channels has the same effect as curtailing the volume; hence the appreciation of the legal tenders, which are further affected, so far as the Pa cific States are concerned, by the transfer of the coin there in use to the Atlantic States. This means, when effected, more gold in New York and less currency, almost as much so as if the Secretary had sold $30,000,000 of gold and locked the green backs up, which, probably, is the main reason for the late steady rise in greenbacks towards their par value with gold, Mr. B 0 UTIVELL attaches great im portance to the development of the American com mercial marine as a help to specie payments; in deed, as it appears to us, an undue importance. The ability to resume, as he says, will not be due to any special legislation, but to the condition of the industries. The ocean carrying trade, though an important interest, is but one, aid that one most dependent on the others, for there can be no carrying-trade if there is nettling to c wry. The Union presents the finest field for industry in the world, but the oceans which lave its shores are as open to the other countries on which they touch. If a considerable portion of the citizens take to the sea in preference to home industries they do no more than the English, the French, or the Chinese can do; hence, except under special privileges, which in the ocean carrying-trade cannot be accorded, au American citizen abandons the blessings PROVIDENC has given in the more productive industries, to com pete with foreigners not so fortunately placed in their home advantages. In a word, Mr. BOUT WELL proposeS to legislate men from a more profit able into a less profitable pursuit. There may be special reasons, such as the necessity for trained sailors in the event of war, to which we will refer hereafter; but we may here observe that science is superseding seamen, and the war vessels of the future will need gunners, engineers, and stokers only. When the exports are as valuable as the imports, specie to equalise the exchange will not be needed, except when the Bonds held abroad are sent home for sale. This contingency evidently weighs on the mind of the Secretary. What he says is that Five-Twenties are chiefly held by the speculative classes, American credit not yet having been fully established in Europe. These would be ready t.) sell freely whet, sufficient inducement offers; or on political or financial disturbances causing a demand for money. He estimates that from seven to nine hundred millions dollars of bonds are in European hands, and in the event of such a panic as that of 1866 the amount returned to America for sale would embarrass business if specie payments had been re sumed, and force the Banks to suspend. Hence the necessity for first funding the Five-Twenties upon terms and conditions which would make them permanent investments. Resumption, in itself, is not difficult, but the problem is to effect it so'that it will withstand periods of excitement and peril. Every measure should have a tendency to raise the value of greenbacks, and for this purpose the Sec retary suggests a gradual withdrawal of currency, the amount not to exceed $2,000,000 in any one month. This, with the other causes at work, must tend to equalise greenbacks with gold, when the resumption could be effected without any disturb ance. Mr. BOUTWELL gives a powerful reason why the States should not be permitted to tax the Bonds of the United States. The amount imposed by the local authorities will be added to the inte rest the Federal Government has to pay, whereby the National Exchequer will be taxed by the local authorities to supply them with funds. Another reason is that the ability to borrow, under certain circumstances essential to the existence of the Go vernment, should not be qualified by any concession to the States of the right to tax its means, a course practically an infringement of its sovereignty, which the National Government should never surrender or qualify. These are the points in the Secretary's Report which will most strike our readers, as many of the other propositions are already known, but there remains a bold and remarkable statement on the Banking System. From it two evils arise requir ing prompt and efficient remedy by legislation ; first the bank practice of allowing interest on de posits, the effect being thatthe moneys of individuals go into the banks, instead of being loaned into regular mercantile and other pursuits, under the idea that if the security be not better repayment at least can be procured at once. Country banks hav ing received the deposits, tratisfer them to town banks at a slight increase of interest over that they pay, still on call. Eventually the accumulation is piled up in such centres as New York, where the money is lent, not to merchants who will not bor row large sums on demand, but to speculators. Thereby two evils are fostered ; the already too rapid depletion of remote districts with a consequent ple thora in great centres, and gambling, for as it must be loaned on call, the mercantile community is barred ' the use ; hence it can only be employed in large sums by speculators on margins of Government and other Securities. That it is so used, is shown by these facts. Upon commercial paper for legitimate purposes the borrowers pay three to six per cent. additional interest per annum over the borrowers for speculative purposes, while in October, 1868, 41 per cent. were call loans, and in October, 1869, 37 per cent. The remedy Mr. BOUTIVELL considers to be the passage of a law prohibiting, absolutely, , the payment of interest by banks upon deposits, limiting also their loans upon collaterals to an amount not exceeding 10 per cent. of their capital. The practice of certifying cheques being fraught with ' evil, ought, he thinks, to be entirely prohibited. In England we know such recommendations will find but few advocates. The evils are glaring, the had results so evident that they are seen and felt by all, but there is au inveterate British dislike on principle to interfere with. the free course of commercial affairs. The assertion is that the lenders and borrowers are not only the best judges of the terms, hut those alone capable of fram in g the conditions, and that any attempt to interfere will be by them defeated. Mr. BOUTWELL desires Con gress to specify the conditions upon which a citizen is to lend, and upon which the banks are to receive, but such conditions have never been observed in their integrity, an probably never will be, for they can always be easily defeated, although pater nal Governments have ofte n made the attem p t thus 1 1 to direct the action. of the governed. COUNTRY AROUND KANSAS CITY. (From the Anglo-American Times.) Hal we been discussing this subject 25 years ago our emigration centres would have been Chi cago and St. Louis, the first a point to the east of Illinois, the other a point to the east of Miszouri. Since then the flow of immiz,ration has passed these nearlycitits 500 miles beyond Chicago to Omaha, and nearly 300 beyond St. Louis to Kansas City, creating among others as it flowed these two grand towns. St. Louis is the great city of the Prairies and of the Mississippi, as is Chicago of the Prairies and of the Lakes. The English emigrant who im agines that these towns hundreds upon hundreds of miles in the interior of the continent are without ships and steamers would be surprised to see the vessels loading at Chicago, and the large ste3mera arriving at and leaving the wharves of St. Louis. The former looks over a lake to which the Irish Channel in comparison is but a pond, and the river communication of St. Louis is counted by its thousands of miles, not up and down one river only, but up and down a dozen. St. Louis be came great because it is just below the junction of the Mississippi and Missouri ; 174 miles down, the Ohio joins, and the Arkansas some 300 miles fur ther, each with its own navigable branches. The river narrows at St. Louis from the wide expanse above, and the city occupies two plateaux, the one abruptly rising from the river, the other gently ascending and expanding into a beautiful plain, seven miles long and three broad. On this grand site St. Louis stands, a city some confidently pre dict will one day become the national capital of the United States. The vast block of land whereof Kansas City may be considered the emigration centre, consists of the States of Missouri, con taining 65,350 square miles or 41,824,000 acres, of which 1,835,892 remained unappropriated in June, 4.367, and Kansas containing 81,318 square miles, or 52,043,520 acres, of which 43,148,874 rmnained unappropriated at the same period. Missouri is 318 miles long and 280 wide ; Kansas extends from east to west 344 to 403 miles, with a uniform breadth of 2QB, therefore the block may be put down as 700 miles long from the Mississippi to the boundary of Colorado, and 250 broad from the frontier line of Nebraska and lowa on the north to the frontier lino of the Indian Territory and Arkansas to the south. A. considerable portion of Missouri is embraced between the rivers Mississippi and Missouri, carry ing the same country as lower lowa down to the fork. It will readily be imagined that this tract between the two great rivers is about as rich as land can be, all rolling prairie or quite flat. The calcareous soils predominate, the substratum being chiefly carboniferous limestone, the district being remarkable for vast measures of bituminous coal. - lt is a singular fact that this beautiful and wealthy lloab, as it would be called in India, lying be tween the 38th ' and 40th parallels of latitude (the bend of the Missouri through the State being almost due east), should have extremes of temperature. The rivers for a period of winter are so frozen as to enable heavily-loaded vehicles to cross ; indeed, when the ice breaks up it is sure lo be accompanied with damage to the miles of steam boats laid by at St. Louis. But English readers must not associate the cold of England with that of the central portions of the United States, for one is a damp, boisterous, searching cold; the other is a dry, pure, and generally still cold—far more in tense, yet far less felt. The summer, on the con trary, is extremely warm, but the dry, pure atmos phere and the prairie breezes render the heat more endurable than elsewhere in a similar temperature. South of the Missouri, as far west as Osage, the surface is rolling, becoming hilly and mountainous towards the Ozark ranges. West of the Osage a vast expanse of prairie stretches towards the Pa cific. 'The greater portion of South Missouri is hilly and broken, but there are rich valleys among the mountains, invariably covered with white pine forests. The marshes of the south-east, when drained, will constitute the best farming lands of the State; the river bottoms are covered with luxu riant growths of oak, elm, ash, hickory, cotton woo 1, linden, white and black walnut, while heavy lorests of yellow pine, crab apple, pawpaws, hazel, and wild gripes, with white and pin oak, mostly cover the thinner soils. In the Osage district Kansas and the Indian Territory is entered, and the land there is of unequalled fertility, the great drift of settle ment being in that direction, an - I on Indian reser vations, which causes the Government some degree of embarrassment and trouble. Any one who took a compass, and drew a radius of 100 miles around Kansas City, would include as fine a district as the heart of man could desire. The town stands where the Kansas River enters the Missouri River, and - the Kansas Pacific Railway runs up the valley of the Kansas River, as does the Union Pa cific up the - Valley of the Platte, with this differ ence, that the former is described as one of the finest and most fertile valleys of the world. Gene rally it is about four miles broad, sometimes widen ing to double that, but behind rise what are there called bluffs, mere gentle swells, which carry the traveller to the plateau of the prairie. Manhattan is at the junction of the Big Blue river, of which we spoke in our former article as running through a valley from Nebraska almost parallel with the Missouri, the entire stretch between, being rich land. The valleys of the two rivers there combine about 118 miles above Kansas (qty, and extend over miles, with the great prairie around, the swells and ridges affording enlarged and magnificent views. Of these the most striking is Blue Mound, half a mile above the entrance of the river, rising to au apex about 100 feet high. This mound, as well as all the ridges, display limestone quarries, either on the surface or two feet below, suitable for building or fencing, and some of it makes excellent lime. Let us take this town and that of Junction City some miles further up, where the Republican River flows into the Kansas and Selina, as fair samples of what the emigrant has to expect along the best line of settlement now open in the United States. But little of the country is enclosed, so it is all commons for stock grazing, therefore men in the towns can keep cattle if they choose. The dairyman, supplies Manhattan with milk at 4d. a quart, who pastures his cows around the town, some thirty head of fat cattle, which are kept in a yard during thenight, and he buys hay, delivered there at 15s. a ton. A fine cow is worth about £7, such as in New York would sell for £l7. The animals are fat, and, as a general rule, fit to kill ; and this year it is said they will be corn fed, as the yield has been 40 bushels to the acre, and the demand, which formerly was great, has lately ceased. A. recent tra veller,walking in the neighbourhood,tells how he came on a poor cottage with its ost ner sitting at the door, who for ten years had been located in Kansas, hav ing come from New York. He thought the couns try the best he ever saw to get a start ; but he had a large family, and had never been able to get the start. "Ihave worked," said he, " during the war for two bushels of corn a day ; now I get four." " Why don't you take homestead land ?" asked the travel ler. " Well, the Indians have been troublesome, and there is no land good for much within 20 miles." Pointing to the rising land around, the rich valleys of the Blue and the Kansas,he added, "that of course I would not have." " What," asked the traveller in astonishment, " are these lands across the river homesteads?" " Yes ; and there a re thousands on thousands of acres ;" and in reply to the question whether a part was not good soil, it was acknow ledged i r n e e s r 2 k o s o ef r t 3 h o e finet h crops.wouldtay e 1 l e r ais raise s Here that are in theBo acres the Eastern for the information of Americans of interview, and it must be remembered that he was Eastern States, not for books on emigration . or to puff up land and railroad schemes to mislead in foreign countries : ~1 was never more astonished. There was the rolling prairie bluff land, which wou ld p roduce corn, go-d oats, first rate wheat, and excellent fruit, in sight of a nice town, or at least not dist:tut, that could be had in 80-acre and nobody to take it. I could take such a l t o ra ts et f , or S ti l ptit B, with forest and orchard trees. awl in rive years make a farm, on which I should be willing to die at some remote period. The ground is not as rough as many good farms on the Erie Railroad, and all through Eastern New York, while, having a limestone basis, the fertility must be far superior, and be retained for many years. I was told, beside, that within seven and eight miles there is fair homestead laud, and 20 miles distant first class. All this shows that the cheapest thing in this country is land. And it shows, too, that young men, and men of families in the city, who live on salaries and barely rub through from year to year, are, if they have a spark of genuine ambition, dreadful l y foolin g awa y their time."
