To Returning Californians.

We publish in another column an
article from the New York Tribune,
from which an idea may be formed of
the miserable tricks resorted to by the
Eharpers of the eastern cities and their
emssaries, in order to swindle the
|nnsuspecting of those who are return
Ing to their families from California.
II is we'll known that men who have
accumulated little gold while here,
bn arriving at New York, Philadel-
|bhia ar New Orleans, want it exchan-
|Sed for a convenient currency. If,
however, they apply at the mint in
Philadelphia or New Orleans, they
hust wait six or eight days for it to
be assayed and its true value ascer-
aimed. Not wishing to be delayed
% long, they apply to brokers,
yho offer as an inducement, all the
|old can possibly be worth, and some
mes so cts. on the ounce more than
hey can get for it. Many are deceiv-
Il by the trick, and are induced by
he two-fold prospect of getting their
ust turned into cash Immediately, and
b advance of 3 or A pei cent, to
AXE choice of this exchange. But
e consequence is, they are defrau-
ed out of three or four times as much
they had supposed they were going
be gamers.
We also see an advertisement in
le NJ o. True Delta, signed by two
Ulcers of the branch mint, making a
atement Of similar frauds being prac-
led in that city. They advise the
turning Californian in all cases, to
n at the mint before disposing of
cir dust, and if they cannot wait for
to be assayed, they can have it
Pighed, free Of expense, and some
ing near its value arrived at, by
bich mean these frauds may to a
eat degree, be avoided. In all ca
they will pay the amount in coin
soon as its value can be ascertain
correctly by assaying and testing
fineness. It would undoubtedly
well for those thus circumstanced
be on their guard, and if they can
get their gold exchanged at the
Mt, to avail themselves of the offer
its officers, to have it weighed corr
ttly or, where this cannot be done,
ply to some house where fair bu-
Jess is done where men of moral
rth and integrity have deservedly
IN name for themselves as being
istworthy.
This course would undoubtedly b.
, safer plan, and would in a majori-
Of cases, prove a material saving to
plders Of California gold dust. 1t i.
hard matter TO resist the temptation
hen we are offered little more than
2 believe our property to be worth
it the very fact that these men, who
rc well posted on the subject of mo-
y matters, offer a premium, is sufli-
ent TO justify suspicion, and demands
at they be strictly watched.

We take the following from the San
Francisco Ptcayune of the 9TH. We
concur with our cotemporary that
small gold coin is very much needed
as circulating medium in California
We have heretofore, however, been
so much swindled by the circulation of
private issues, which, after being set
afoat proved to be worth only about
500 on the 100, that it would not be
surprising if people should receive
them with reluctance. But if they
prove to be worth all they pretend to
be, as the Plcayune intimates they
will, their beneficial effects will be felt
by all.
Wass, NIOlitor & Co.'S, Coin.
We had the pleasure of examining,
h"ou SNCitnHs u f0TU uOto, W WIS
nifty, in the shape of parcel of new
and beautiful gold coin issued from the
assay Office Of Wass, Molitor & Co., Mer-
chant street, and which makes it's de.
but in the business world to-day. The
size, design of die and general appear
ance Of this coin, is very similar to the
American gold coin; though its bright
yellow hue, and distinctive marks of
manufacture, are sufficient to prevent it
from being mistaken for the mint issue
i The initials of the house, w. Al. g. Co.,
are substituted for the word Libs,ty, on
the head of the Goddess, and the eagle
is encircled with the words Fire dollars
IN California gold; instead of the words
United States of Amer,ea The pieces
are somewhat rough to the touch, as in
deed, could hardly be avoided, but their
general appearance is very creiitable,
both to the artist who designed and fin
ished the dies, and to the gentlemen
issuing the coin.
The issue now presented to the pub.
lie will be hailed as grea, and timely
relief. In the known ability and in
tegrity of the firm manufacturing this
new coin, we have an ample guaranty
that it will never be debascd; and, from
the fact that the bankers generally wi
receive it, tbs fair to presume that they
have examined the matter in all Its
bearings upon business relations, and
consider that public necessity requires
a resort to private coinage, for tompora-
ry relief, until the system can be super
seded, and the wants of the community
supplied, by the establishment of a U.
). mint.
We yesterday alluded to n petition at
the Commercial Ezchance, asking
Messrs. Moffitt s. Co., to issue, to the
amount of $500 1000, in small coin. In
asmuch rs this house has hitherto per-
emptorily refused to issue private coin,
in consequence of their existing contract
with the u. S. Government, the infer.
ence is, that this petition is to be seat
to the treasury, as the sentiment of
the people Of this city on the subiect,
asking the authority of the department
for the small issues. IL this be so, at
least three months would necc cessarily
elapes before we could have any relief
from this source, unless Mes>rs. Moffatt
Il Co., should at once annual their pre-
sent contract which they will hardly
do. The issue of Messrs Wass, Mslitor
& Co., is likely to be our only means Of
relief from the premium now charged
on American coin, and to constitute our
chief circulating medium for some time
to come.
