oyER.spEcuLAToN IN WESTERN LANDS.

Many persons are disposed TO believe that over
speculation in western lands is one of the principal
causes of the present financial crisis Our respected
contemporary of the St. Louis Republican treats this
belief as one unworthy of serious consideration
will be seen by the following article which appears
in his issue Of Saturday last
.swe know of nothing more ridiculous and niounded
than the attempt everywhere made TO create the impress
on that enormous investments in lands have brought
about the present disturbances in monetary affairs The
statements of the proper Office at Washington show, that
the total receipts from the sale OF Pupc lands during
the fiscal year ending with June last did not come up to
81 900 900 and Of this sum- may be safe to say that
onehaf of il did not belong to the West at ALL but
brought from the old States for speculative purposes
Very little money has been, in TRUTH taken from the
regular channels of business for Investment in lands )
and the farmers who have all been successful in what
ever they have undertaken for several years past and have
by their industry and enterprise created their wealth,
have been justified in purchasing land to add TO their
farms and to provide homes for their children If they
have made no OF their money than this they
are not of censure do these specuaons in
land afford any adequate reason for the present state OF
affairs 1t must be found In some other cause.
Many sales have been made of private property, and
at seemingly high prices We now in the second
year of payments upon them and we have had some
iosty to know how they were met On inquiry yester-
day told that OF about hundred notes given
for lots In one of the additions to ST. Louis (which notes
are falling due) not more than three or four had
been left unpaid and these probably because the makers
did not know where find them So that these specu
ations have not turned bad that the purchasers
not ready and willing to pay for them.
The truth u.s. there ought to be cry OF hard times
in the States and If the farmers will only go to
work and pay their merchants either in money or pro
duoe and the merchants will do their duty to the city
wholesale dealers by paying their indebtedness there will
be no for croakng at the end of forty days This
what must continue to urge the farmers and country
merchants to do at some sacrifice OF their time and
comfort

FROM UTAH TERRITORY.

A letter. dated Fort Kearney, September 5, receiv-
ed in this city yesterday states that party of re-
turning Calfornans who passed through Salt Lake on
the 25th of July report that the evening before they
left that city the Mormons arrested Mr.. Wilson,
whom the late Surveyor General Burr left in charge
of the Office, and with rope around his neck and
pistol at his breast compelled him to several
questions which they propounded about Bell, Mogo,
and others. Mogo was connected with the surveyor
generals office. The Mormons made Wilson prom
Use to bring Mogo to them during the next day be-
fore they released him. Mogo obtained information
of these proceedings. and Immediately quilted the
city, leaving his wife behind, precipitate his
retreat They went in pursuit of Landon and the
other clerk, but Landon escaped by jumping out
of second-story window. He went that night some
where South and the report is that he overtaken
and killed. AS these Californians made but brief
stay they were unable to ascertain what became of
Wilson.
They also say that the Mormons were making
preparations for fight, and did not conceal their
hostile intentions. Elder Kimbal in his harangue in
the Tabernacle, laughed at the idea of sending Uni
ted States troops to Utah, and said he could take
MS wives lthry or lorty Vi tnelHl anu Wnlp the
twenty five hundred troops, and come back and do
good days work afterward." He further said
that provisions for the army would come into the
valley, but the troops would never enter Salt Lake
City
Two companies arrived at Fort Kearncy on tho
5th of September, en- route for Salt Lake. and the
fifth and tenth regiments of infantry were at that
time at Fort Laramie for the same destination
The writer of the letter says that Col Hoffman had
seized five hundred kegs Of powder in the Mormon
trains.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO AMERICAN SHIPPERS TO
FRENCH PORTS.

FRENCH PORTS.
We find the following notice in the Courier des
Etats Uns of Tuesday last doubtless inserted by
der of the consugeneral of France. resident in New
York:
Several American vessels recently arrived at French
ports arseilles among the rest after having landed
portions of cargo at ports of stoppage, intermediate
ports have claimed the benefits of the treaty concluded
between France and the United States on the Gath of
June, 1922
According to the French customs regulations these
benefits only extended to vessels arriving directly in
French ports, and without intermediate stoppage
We are therefore, requested to give public notice that
although these benefits have been accorded exceptionally
by the in the above stated American
sells cannot unless under stress Of weather put into
intermediate port without losing their arrival in
France the benefit of the treaty in question
This rule Is, moreover, indiscriminately applied in
France the shipping of all foreign countries which have
treaties Of navigation with France
If any Misunderstanding has existed in reference
to the matter which forms the subject of the forego
ing notice, it must have arisen from the ambiguity
and not frequently the contradictory terms of the
DEGREES and ministerial decisions by which tempo
rary relaxations and notifications are announced
from time to time in the tariff and customhouse reg
ulations of France. The order which allows slight
modification in our treaty stipulations with France
relative to the direct trade, to which doubtless the
above notice refers is entitled Ministerial Decision
of December II, 1851. Circular No 2474, and is
as follows
American ships laden with cotton and proceeding
from ports in England for France without having broken
bulk shall be admitted to the benefits applicable to d
rect voyages provided they shall exhibit certificates from
our consular agents ateng that such vessels transacted
commercial business at the port of stoppage"
We trust the Courrier's notice is not intended to
abrogato this ministerial order, as much inconve-
nience would be the result

OPERATIONS OF THE PHILADELPHIA MINT.

OPERATIONS OF THE PHILADELPHIA MINT.
According to recent act of Congress- the annual
turns of the Mint made to conform to the fiscal
year of the treasury and consequently the returns Of the
present year only the six months ending on the
3Oth of June 1t became necessary for ascertain the
business within that period and the director politely fur
nishcd with the following figures
Coinage of the Mint and branches during the first six
months of 1857

Gold bars ---------------s------ 9,37l,5l5
Silver bars --------------------- 1864
Total gold and silver r-------------- 2G, 794, ,782
This exhibit shows falling off as compared with
the previous year. Recently however, the coinage has
increased and to contribute relief in the present stringent
currency, the director has wisely employed the whole
force of the Mint night and day to provide the smaller
denominations of silver coin especially. About three
hundred thousand dollars Of gold and silver stamped
daily.
AS the Secretary of the Treasury has manifested com
mendablc disposition in this crisis to adopt any useful and
practical proposition within his discretion would su
gest the expedency Of increasing the coinage Of gold dol
lars and reducing the number Of $40 and $40 pieces The
latter readily handled and counted at the sub
treasury, but the additional labor ought not to be re-
garded in comparison with the public convenience All
the small denominations of gold and silver will be in
QUESTION the country and be abundant
supplied.
