Very proper, too. But we should like to know the
vote. Can ne tell us Again. what would they In
dict fo;1 Because we published correct abstract
from public document-of the proceedings in a
court OF equity and justice II this is crime, it
would De Deter to strike out OF existence all the laws
and constitutions Of the land-and let us come back
to the dark ages, when the strong man preyed on
the weak-and deeds of rapne, blood and plumber
we're the every day auusements of society The
credit system has absolutely demorallz ed the whole
country, and produced the same effects in society as
the fe2dal system. Is there to be no remedy
Ia fact there is none but free and independent
press That can alone correct the evil DESTROY
such press, and anarchy would prevail
THE CONCERT At NIBIo's The grand concert in
which Mrs. Sutton and the Brahams will appear, is
given this evening by Niblo in his splendid musical
saloon Mr. Braham does not go South, but is
obliged, in consequence OF letters received by the
the last steamer TO return to Europe Immediately
He will probably go in the packet Of the first of next
month. The present is therefore the last, but one,
occasion on which the admirers of this great vocal
list can enjoy an opportunity OF hearing him. BY
the programme il will be seen that the concert to-
night offers extraordinary attractions, and as the
price Of admission is so low, an overfewins house
must be the result.

WASHINGTON, Saturday night, Dec. "a
The Report of the Secretary OF the Trea-
sury.
AS both Houses have adjourned till Tuesday next,
and there is nothing else of interest stirring to-day,
send you the Report of the Secretary of the Trea-
sury, of which | obtained an early copy (and as
think exclusively it being quite wet from the press
when receivedit.
You have before published brief abstract OF 1t,
but must repeat two items, and add the fol-
lowing condensed statement, which / made after
carefully going the Report and as it is docu-
ment that reaches the hands of very few, and as a
clear synopsis of the way in which the money of
the people is annually spent, must be interesting to
all, think the tables | have prepared will be read
with interest There are some curious items in
them. We generally see eight or ten millions OF
dollars ,,ut down annually the gross expenses,
each, of the Army and Navy, but very few see the
various items showing in detail what those sums
are paid for !; have gone through about twenty
pages of the report giving the expenses of the Army
and Navy, and have condensed the same into Just
forty lines, stating the various different purposes for
which the money Is expended
The receipt into the Treasury, from Jan.I,
to Sept. 80 l542, were S26, 6l6 ,bo3 7S
The expenditure for the period 26,a64ssa 30

There are $685. Ala O3 of outstanding warrants,is-
sued prior to Jan. l, 1912 but it is thought like
sum will remain out on JAM l, 1913; if so, there
was balance of over $3.50 900 in the Treasury last
JAN lst, 1t is expected there will be at least Z25,
600 balance in the Treasury the ls Of next January.
This is really the substance IF the whole report for
the year 1912.
In order that the public may see how their money
has been expended for the last nine months, have
prepared the following tables:-

CHATHAM THEATRE-Mr. Edwin Forrest, the
great American tragedian, makes his appearance
this evening in the celebrated tragedy of "Jack
Cade." 1t is unnecessary to say aught respecting
Mr.. Forests impersonation of this famous charac-
ter. 1t is of the best in his whole line of per-
Torrance, and being ably supported by the strength
of the company, it will be produced with brilliant
effect Go early and secure Seats for doubtless
there will be tremendous rush A day perform
ance is announced for this afternoon, commencing
at halfpast one o'clock, and the grand romantic
plays of Hell on Earth" and the "Forty Thieves"
are offered for the occasion.

sequence ofs chespness had for several years largest
circulation in New York This circulation from obvious
causes, has diminished very much of late and is now
hardly half OF what II has been in former years As a
ural consequence its advertising patronage has diminish
ed in like ratio may be by looking at its columns
The evidence ofhe decline in circulation is exhibited
in the contract with Mr.. Butler published by Mr. Beach
himself contrasted with contract made with Persse
Brooks Now, Mr.. Butler, like Persse Brooks is a
highly respectable man. and good paper manufacturer
although the paper he furnishes the cheaper
and course worse quality than what have invaria
bly, used orthe Herald 1t is evident from contrac u.s.
that about onethd paper per meek than
Mr. Beach Of the sun and accordingly circulation is
in the ratio extensive. The nature of this cir
cuation is also different.
The sun circuates among the poor principally but
among the higher and educated clssses-partcu
larly the clerical financial, literary, and commercial
Our ads esng patronage has also increased much-as it
must naturally do among business and intelligent peo
pie capable OF seeing their best and ruest interests BY
inspecting the SUM- will be that whole columns
consist Of old advertisements stuck in to fill up space
while other columns contain silly love stories instead Of
theimpoant of the day, which they seldom publish
till the day AFTER
These are the facts-but do not blame Mr. Beach for
this decay. Necessity compels him-and necessity has
no law He has neglected his newspaper entirely for the
lsstwo yoarand has turned his attention probably to
what he thought better business. His place has been
changed into brokers' Office for shaviHg Jacksonville
notes Ulster notes and Malone notes all known under
the Of Beach leaves" He has also united with the
business ola money changer" that of small shop for
the sale Of the cheap literature of the day Probably he
has run into these two kinds OF business in anticipation of
the setting Of the sun, which has suffered awfully of
late from the combined energy of the other penny and
wopenny press, in collecting early These facts
present the state of the the public There
can be mistake in the documents OF Mr.. Butler and
Messrs Persse Booksand henceiorh the public will
know the cause why the Herald has become the principal
organ for the cash business advertising in New York.
We leave all the credit business the WALL press
For the favors we have received our thanks
and hope by industry and independence to merit
tinuance hereafter of the like kindnesses always with
thsoash in advance merry Christmas to all

SANTA ANNA AND THE AMERICAN MIN
LISTERS.

The late arrival at New Orleans brought the ad
dresses of Mr. Ellis and General Thompson, and the
replies of Santa Anna They are courteous through
out, and express an earnest desire for the mamie.
nance of friendly relations between the United
States and Mexico. In his reply to MIR. Ellis, Santa
Anna says:
81 always ardenty wished that our sister, the
great Republic of the North, should preserve ana
cherish the most frank, sincere and friendly reia-
tons with Mexico, and with deeds of reciprocal be-
nevolence"
We annex his reply to General Thompson
feel truly grateful that your Exceilency, when
presenting your credentials, as Envoy Extraordina-
ry and Minister Plenpolentiary of the United States
Of the North began by manfesting lively interest
in the health of my Spouse in sentiments alike deli
cate and appropriate. Surrounded by domestic
cares and public business still feel pleasure in hear
ing your Government renew its protestatons OF that
frank and sincere friendship which should be eternal
between the two greatest Republics in the world.
1t is certain that do not want for inducements
to cultivate the reciprocal Importance of such a
union and cannot but be anxious that the serious
questions under discussion may terminate in con-
ciIiatory manner; one that may establish the best
feelings between the two countries.
81 congratulate your Excellency on your arrival
in this Republic, and it will give satisfaction to
know that your residence here proves agreeable and
fortunate.'

The spread of this singular deluson is one of the
most remarkable signs of the times What the sign may
denote beyond an extensive degree of credulity in
poor human nature, it is not for to say. The ex-
tension of this sect is proceeding rapidly not only in
the West, but in the very centre also of the most
populous and educated portion of New England In
Boston, it is stated church established in March
last numbering thirty converts it is now filled with
large congregation From this point they have
radiaed throughout the neighbourng towns. In Chel
sea, Medheld, Midway and Salem the foundations of
Mormonism have been laid. In the last named town
nearly seventy have been baptized into that faith
They have extended themselves also into New Hamp-
shire At Peterborough twenty baptized in one
day, and the church in that place numbers over one
hundred members.
The great head establishment of this sect is at Maui
voo the State of Illinois. They have there laid out
the plan of city vast scale, and are proceeding
in the erection of magnificent temple. From what
learn of their system of operations in their
Element, it appears to be marked by orderly arrange
men and perseverng effort strong military organ
izaton is prominent feature of their policy and
with this the elements of religious and municipal gov
eminent intimately united. We saw it stated re-
Gently that the martial force of Nauvoo consisted of
two thousand men, fully equipped and well disciplined
Whether this statement be exaggerated not we
cannot tel-but so it goes.
OF the religious tenets of the Mormons we cannot
speak from accurate knowledge They professs to
ceive the Bible both the Old and New Testaments,
but claim also to have additional revelation This
it is declared, into the hands Of JOE SMITH, their
chef prophet in the form of book with golden leaves
which he afrms that he found in retired place.
From this book, styled the Book of Mormon the sect
takes its name. They however, call themselves the
"Later Day Saints" 1t appears that JOE has lately
taken the benefit of the Bankrupt Law but whether
the debts from which he seeks to be discharged
due to his own people, to the surrounding strangers,
we do not know. If all accounts are true he has
practised the grossest impositons upon the faithful
with degree Of imperturbable GOODNESS which none
but prophet could hope TO initiate.

BOZ ON THE STAGE.

The leiges of Montreal had most delightful en-
tertanment last week in the way of private theatre
Gals. The performances took place in the Theatre
Royal, with Mr.. Charles Dickens as stage manager,
who, with his lady, sustained leading parts in the pie
ces selected.
Soon after the doors were opened, says the Mon
trea Herald the boxes and pit well filled with the
beauty and fashion of the city, and the gay uniforms
of the officers of the different regiments in the garri
son nterspersed with the costly dresses and eweled
brows of the ladies fayre, presented beautiful
scene Among tie audience were his Excellency Sir
Charles Bagot and SUITE
The first play in the bill of fare was " A Roland
for Oliver" in which the following were the dra-
mats persona:
Mrs. Selborne, Mrs. Torrens
Maria Darlington, Miss Griffin,
Mrs. Fixture, Miss Ermatnger,
MIR. Seborne, The Earl of Mugraye,
Alfred Highhier, Mr. Charles Dickens,
Sir Mark Chase, Hon. Paul Methuen
Fixture, Capt Willoughby,
Gamekeeper Capt. Grenvile.
The Herald says the performers elected thunders
of applause and Of laughter from all parts of
the house.
The laughable interlude of "Past two o'clock in
the morning. followed, which was sustained by the
following characters:
The Stranger, Capt. Grenville,
Mr. Snobbngton, Mr.. Charles Dickens.
This was the performance of the evening, and was
most admirably acted. Mr.. Dickens SO disguised his
person and voice, that time had elapsed after
the play began before he was recognised.
The closing piece was the farce of Deaf as a
Post" in which Mrs. Dickens played the part of
Sophy Walton"
