JApANEsE CURRENCY.

The OILY matter in which the japanese Embas-
sailors appear to have been authorized to act be-
yond bare exchange of the Publications OF Mr.
Townsend Harris's treaty, was to obtain some
cfical information as to the relative intrinsic
value of Japanese and American coins. With
view to satisfy them on this point, various assays
were made at the Mint-but we do not see how
much assistance can be derived in that way toward
the settlement Of the question of the relative value
to be given to Japanese and American CONS In the
WAY of trade-a matter which, in spite OF the sey-
eral attempts hitherto made to arrange 1t, still re-
mains the occasion of much dissatisfaction on the
mart of foreigners. There are three difficulties In
the way. In the first place. gold has much less
value put upon it in japan, in relation to silver,
than it has with us; in the second place, both
metals have, compared to other commodities,
special Japanese value; and, in the third place,
the coins of Japan, both gold and silver pass at an
artificial value largely above that Of the metal of
which they are composed, considered only as bull
lion. The Government enjoys at present very
high profit on coinage, and all the existing coin,
whether in the hands of the Government or OF indi-
yiduas shares in the artificial value thus produced.
All contracts and prices are regulated by this ari-
fetal value. But if the japanese Government are
to allow foreign coins to pass weight for weight with
their own, or are to be obliged to exchange
weight for weight their own coins for such foreign
coins as may be rendered to them, this artificial
value cannot long be maintained. 1t can only be
kept up by limiting the issue to the actual crcua-
ing requirements OF the county. To confer on
foreigners an unlimited power of coinage-which
would be the practical result of either Of the con-
cessious above referred to-would soon equalize
the value Of coin and bullion. If to this were sud
denly added new standards for estimating the val
ue of the precious metals as compared with each
other and with other commodities il is easy to see
that the monetary affairs of the Empire might be
throw into great confusion.

CONSULAR JURISDICTION.

There is in one respect marked difference as
to the position of citizens of the United States IN
those Pagan or Mohammedan countries with which
we have treaties and the position which they Oc-
cupy in foreign Christian States. In the latter,
while resident there, citizens of the United States
are subject not only to the laws but to the trbun-
ais of those countries, and that not merely 10 GRIM
ina but in civil cases also, including contrOyer-
sizes between themselves, well as with the native
inhabitants. In Pagan and Mohammedan countries,
the case is different. In the treaties which we
have formed with such nations, our citizens resi-
dent among them have been specially exempted
from the Jurisdiction, whether civil or criminal, OF
the native tribunals. The important duty of hear
ing and deciding all complaints against them,
whether of q civil or criminal nature, has been
conferred on the United States COnsuls. Our
treaties with Turkey, TripOG, Tuns, Morocco,
Muscat, Persia, Siam, China, and Japan, contain
provisions Of this SORT 1t has been principally
in China that occasion has been presented for
the exercise of this jurisdiction. But great
impediments have arisen for want OF
means of executing process, and BY reason of
doubts ms to the rule of decision which these Con.
sular Judges were to follow. An important act of
Congress, designed to remove these difficulties,
was passed at the late session. 1t extends
over American citizens resident in the countries
above enumerated the authority of our American
laws, including the common law, equity and ad-
miralty, ard il authorizes the President to appoint
Marshals for the execution of process-four for
China and one each for Japan, Siam and Turkey.
The same act makes the murder of any OF the
native inhabitants, or the joining in any issurrec-
ton against the Governments of those countries,
an offcnse punishable with death.
Similar judicial authority over American citizens
is also conferred upon Consuls and commercial
agents resident in countries with which we have no
treaties.
1t is to be hoped that this increase of their
authority will lead to greater caution in the
appointment of these officials than has been exer-
cised hitherto.

! CHESTER LocALs.-Since the New leal
comm, need, our Chester Ia lies have started
up in earnest, and with the liberty Of leap
year, have taken hold first, to start life
into the people generally, get them out OF
their own houses, and together have a So
cial time, I'VE see their motive aud shall
guard ourselves accordingly. First, the
Ladies of the Baptist Society call on all in
rcrested TO meet weekly at their respective
residences to spend an tvenihg in chatting
and sociabiliiy, and "ast but OF least" to
bring their chdnge with them and contribute
Their mite" toward a fund to be appropriate
ed to the purchase of near Bel for their
Church. The present enc has been cracked
for many years and twill give pleasure to
the senses of all TO hear the clear tones of
new bell pealing forth TO call them to the
house of worship.
Still aaolh.r Society has been started by
the Ladies, not TO exclude any one, but to
nvire all to assist them at their weekly
meetings in forming various articles for
Fancy Fair, TO be holden at some indefinite
future time Their object is TO assist in the
purchase of Fire Engine for the village
use in case Of need. This is as it should
be, we need and should have some protection
against fire. Perhaps many of our citizens
feel secure because the town has been so
free from fires for years past. This should
not be carried too far, we should remember
that we are liable to have occasion TO use
fire engine, and perhaps at first il may save
property enough to pay for itself many
times. We think none will decry this object
or refuse to respond literally when the La
dies call.

enjoy themselves.
