SPEcULATIoEs BY GOVERNMENT OFFICERS IN KAN
sAs LANDs.-Tbe reply of the Secretary of the Int.
ror to the House resolution of inquiry into certain
squatter settlements made the lands of the Dele
Indians and others. in Kansas territory exhibits
cases OF great injustice to those Indians, and a
plIcity of government officers in the nefariOus
actions. Gen Whitfield, Indian Agent, in a lett +
10 the commissioner of Indian Affairs, dated Nov
9Th, refers to a visit of Gov Reeder to The Pottowa
tonne nation, where he remained q week and then
adds:
During that time he was engaged in purchasing
Kaw half breed claims at less than half their value
say So so per acre, taking their deeds, and giving
notes payable when the President confers the title in
addition to that he has thirteen claims made on this
land, (paying SIS for each foundation). His having
claims located has induced other officers 10 follow the
example of his exoellency and al this time suppose
every foot Of this land is taken Now sir, the first
wrong is he is cheating the Indians out of than
$1,000 on each claim; secondly, it is certainly bad
example ter the Governor TO be setting Instead of
maintaining the President in treaties that have long
since been made, he is the first give hin rnu-
ben
Gen. " also states that private individuals would
have given 81 500 more for each claim than Govern
or Reeder gave He concludes by expressing the be
lief that the President will refuse 10 confirm the con-
tracts.
In alIuding to this letter of Mr. Whitefeld the
Commissioner OF Indian Affairs, in his letter to the
Secretary of the Interior, remarks:
| HIC. upon lnsPectl( Il OF the memorials WIlCn
accompany these agreements, (contracs,) that they
are all in what appears to be the handwriting of Gov.
A. H. Reeder, of Kansas Territory; that Sanders
| w. Johnson, associate Judge of Kansas, is the
purchaser of the three first named reserves and
half of the other, and that Gov. Reeder, Hon. Rush
Elmore, another associate judge, and A, J. Isaacs.
Esq, o. s. district attorney, appear among the wit
nesses.
The fact that the agreements with Judge john
son were all acknowledged on the same day, I5th
December last) strengthens the impression, arising
from The internal evidence which they present: and
from information received that the purchases are
the results Of systematic plan to forestal competi-
! ton by The purchase and monopoly at low prices,
of these reserves, and that too, by gentlemen whose
official position gives them opportunities, "hich
few private individuals possess to Gull the best tracts,
/ 1.-THE improperly and indelicacy of those trans
actions will be still more strikingly manifest, when
it is considered that if questions growing out Of the
sale Of one more OF these reserves should become

Value OF Foreign Coins.

From a report of the Director of the Mint, trans
mitted to the Senate Saturday by the Secretary
Of the Treasury, gather information Of
general interest as to the value of foreign coins.
The gold coins of Great Britain if not less than
9158 housandths fine receivable at "a 6-l0c. per
pennyweght the gold coins Of France, not less
than S99 thousandhs, at o. 90 cents the gold
coins of Spain, Mexico and Colombia Of the fineness
of 20 carats 3 carat grains, (Which is equivalent to
$50 14-lOO thousandths,) at 80 910 cents and the
gold coins of Portugal and Brazil, not less than %
carats, (916 % thousandths,) at "a $40 cents.
Of the above only the coins of Great Britain and
France fulfill the terms of the act OF Congress, and
there is upward tendency in the fneness Of Br-
fish coins; but neither class has been received here
for re-conage for than years past, except
in trifng parcels owing to the Of trade which
has cut off the importation of foreign gold coins.
The standards OF gold coinage in New Granada,
formerly State of Colombia, are so entirely altered
to render the act Of Congress obsolete in respect
to that coinage The fneness Of the doubloon has
been raised 40 ut 894 housandhs, but by decrease
of weight it has fallen in value from about SIS so to
$l3 80.
Of silver coins, the dollars OF Spanish American
coinage, and those re-samped into reiS of Brazil as
also the fvefranc pieces of France, made eceiv-
able at certain rates By the Of Congress- but
these coins purchased at the mint for re coinage
at premium, the provision for making them current
may be considered nugatory and obsolete
In general, the halves quarters &c, Of these
dollars are very in fneness the whole piece,
but the public informed that the half and quarter
dollars of Bolivia commencing with the date of $50,
and those of South Peru of 1885 TO 1888 greatly
debased in quality, and worth only about three
quarters of their nominal value. Such pieces are
occasionally seen in circulation. The fractions
of q dollar coined within five years in Central
America, rather in Costa RIGA, still more
deprecated, and very IRREGULAR but II II mi~~hapen
appearance will exclude them from CURRENCY ,,:r.

The Director of the Mint repeats the suggestion
contained in his report of the 28h January last that
the laws which legaIize the circulation of coins of
these countries longer necessary expedient
In other nation, he says, is this mixture of legal
currencies admitted or allowed Whatever necessity
or expediency there at the time they were
executed, has now ceased to operate, when our
annual coinage is scarcely inferior to that of any
other nation. If this suggestion should be approved,
and the laws in question repealed, it will be proper

mentioned, but those also of Germany, Sweden,

Lord Raglan might in September have taken
Sebastopol duly and truly;
But the weathhr the raves about weather y
was warm,
And he wished to take it-coolly.
SO he made what was, indeed. to our foes,
a diversion quoth he, I'll oon it
Awhile, and in the mean time keep
My weather-eyc upon it."
October, November, December came on,
As if missioned his army TO kill Off:
The weather is now too cold" quoth he,
I'm take it--with the chill OFF ~
For three months more dispatches he wrote
In the meteorological form,
Til the storms had passed. Its too late
now."
Quoth he, "too take it--by storm :"
Thus, whether the weather be foul or fair,
Sebastopol sc apes the blow
Then. down with the weatherglass give us
man
Who will take it-whether or no
