The LAsT-The last number of the Wash
ington Democrat, issued or to be issued, unless
peradyenture the publisher is reimbursed by
his patrons with a fresh supply of spondulx, "
comes to hand in the form of half sheet, da-
ted July 10th. From it we learn that the out
standing and unpaid warrants upon the Terri
torial Treasury, amount to about $4,000 or
$40, ,OOOj and that the revenue, this year, if
properly collected, and paid in, will amount to
near $l5, 600. Between $40, 900 and $l2O 900 is
reported due from the several counties, which
with the revenue would nearly relieve the Ter
ritory from Indebtedness.

DON'T SEE IT.-We frequently hear per-
sons, while deploring the dull times on the
Pacific, asserting that the States is now
the place to make the money" Don't "see
it," When the immense army is turned
into producers instead of consumers-and
that rs being done as fast as possible-goods,
produce and manufactures must come down
to the lowest possible figures, while there
is more probability of an increase than de-
crease in the rates of taxation. The pres
ent rates will not more than pay the inter
est on the debt twenty-five years ago, it
will be rendered, during reign Of very low
prices for produce, it was almost impossible
for the farmers of the Middle and
Western States to make their +" ends meet"
and pay their then very moderate taxes.
With prospect of Just as low, if not lower
prices fot produce hereafter, and with taxes
increased almost an hundred fold, we can't
by any system of mathematics prove where
the profits arc to come from to the people of
the States Those who can "see it, will
probably tryft, but for our part we'll take
Pacific coast ''in ours" for century or two
yet Down South" is now the land of
golden promise to the imaginary many
both here and in the east, and just for that
reason %20wn South" will be the burial
place of their golden dreams. The tide Of
emigration is already setting thitherward,
and fora while all'~ill 20 on swimmingly,
and thetfew who arrive first will no douot
"realize" handsomely in the beginning, but
the reaction that always follows " rush"
must come, and with the overstocked mar
kets and surplus of laborers will come the
"collapse," such as every one who has OBJ
served the ovestrained business of hundreds
of miaing camps on the Pacific coast has Of

POWDER HoUsE.-In accordance with the So
licitatons of some of the merchants of this City;
the City Council are making arrangements pre-
paratory to erecting small building outside
the city limits for the storage of gun powder
a building Of this kind is badly needed and it
is subject Of wonderment that one has not
been erected ere this. A large amount of pow
der is kept IN the various stores in the City, and
in case fire should at any time break out, great
danger to life from explosions is apprehended;
and from the fact that explosions are likely to
occur in times of fire, and danger therefrom i'm
minent, it is urged, and with great plausibility,
that it would be impossible to get men to work
at such times in the neghborhood Of buildings
containing large amounts of powder, and thus
; the town nigh: be given up to the ravages of
fire In view of these things, it is proposed to
establish a powder house, to be built and held
by the City, for the storage of all powder above
n certain amount, say 20 pounds, which speci-
fed amount may be allowed by ordinance to be
kept in each of the several establishments that
deal in the article. For storage, small sum
will be charged, payable monthly or quarterly
to the city, to defray expenses for such storage.
By this means all persons within the limits of
the City, who deal in gun powder may be re-
strained by ordinance from storing inside the
corporation quantities dangerous to the lives
and property of citizens. The building for this
purpose will cost but trife and viii probably
be constructed and in readiness for use by the
middle of next mouth, and in the meantime it is
70 be hoped that the merchants will store their
powder in as safe places as they can find con-
yenent.
