Changes in the Treasury Department.
The Washington correspondent OF the Boston Jour
nal says:-
Secretary Boutwell, has perfected his arrangements
for a complete reconstruction OF the bond, bank
nOte and currency printing of the Treasury Depart
ment. Heretofore the paper has been prepared, the
printing has been executed, and the seal has been
affixed all in department OF the Treasury, afford
ing facilities for defrauding the Government by a
collusion of employees Now there is a wide division
of labor, afTordng opportunity for checks by the
department on every thing that is done. The paper
is to be made at mill near Philadelphia under the
supervision of an officer OF the Treasury and Will
bear the Government water-mark, to counterfeit
which will be felony The paper will also contain yell
low gloss silk, which when photographed will appear
black. An express company will take the paper TO
New York, giving duplicate receipts for it, one of
which will he given to the paper-maker aud the
other sent to the department here. At New York
the gTeen-colOred portions of the notes will be
sponsible for the return TO Washington Of every
sheet OF paper received either printed spoiled.
When received here the other portions OF the note
will be printed, and the perfect notes, with the
spoiled sheets, will be handed over to another de-
partment of the Treasury to receive the impress of
the seal, which mparts the value Government Will
thus be enabled to trace every sheet OF the paper
manufactured for its use, and Secretary Boutwell,
perects this admirable plan by requiring the printing
and delivery to the Treasurer every month of all
paper manufactured for this printing during that
month. There had been no settlement of the print
ING accounts for years until Secretary Boutwell, Or
dered them all to be balanced. 1t is not probable
that this new plan of printing Will be more econo-
mcal than was the Old one, but the additional eX-
pense will be small and the security gained in
valuable,

Movements.

What the Mexican Minister Says of Political
Movements.
The following is an extract from a private letter
received in New York from Minister Romero:-
MEXICO, Wednesday, April 2S, 1S69.-As know
you would like to hear from Mexico give you the
following news:-Politica affairs here continue to
improve, although slowly. We are now on the eve
OF our elections TO Congress. and the canvass Is
nearly as lively as IL is in the United States on SINH
lar occasions. There is however, no well founded
rear OF any public disturbance, whatever may be the
result of the elections.
There is not Sufficient confidence felt yet on the
part OF the business class of the community In the
consolidation OF our institutions and the maintenance
OF public peace to encourage them TO invest their
money IN enterprises OF public good. Ihe result Is
OF course, that business is parayzed, and that bhe
material development of the country does not go ON
as rapidly as we desired. Otherwise the condition OF
things is satisfactory.
1t has been rumOred here that a revolution took
place near Acapulco, under General Alvarez. Ihls,
am glad to hear, is not correct.
Most truly yours, M. ROMERO.
Mr.. Henry Clews, New York city, N. Y.
Another letter from M. Romero, addressed to
bankmg-house in New York and dated ON the 81 lnst
contains the folowng:-
| avail myself Of mail which leaves mere TINS
evening Tor the United States to inform you GhaU we
nave Just heard that both the Snal0a reOelloh ana
the Guerrero affair have been ended with Je success
OF the national government.
Congress is discussing the appropriation law, ana
matters AT large look more quiet ana brighter than
they ever were before.
Most truly yours, M. ROMERO.

KANSAS SETTLERS,

The commission appointed by the Governor OF
Kansas to audit the claims of settlers for losses
tier in the years 1867 and 1868. have made their
port. The whole number of claims allowed up to
ants are divided among the following cOunties:-
Saline, Ellsworth, Wallace, Cloud, Mitchell, Lincoln,
Mcpherson, Ottawa, and Riley. There are still n
large number of claims held by citizens of Marion
and Butler counties, and the commission will there
fore meet again at some future tme for the purpose
of considering these. The claims are principally for
the losses from robbery and destruction of house
hold effects by the Indians, the capture of stock
burning Of hay, destruction of farming Implements
as the following:-
"Husband Killed, property stolen and destroyed,
August 13 and IA, 1865 Husband killed, daughter
captured, and property destroyed August ID, 1865.
Brother killed and stock run OFF, August 10, 1865.
Wife captured and ravished by about sixty Indians,
and property stolen, August 10, 1865. Husband
killed and house robbed, August IA, 1865. May, 1868,

men killed and driven from home, June and july 1865
-Four men killed, one wounded, and one woman cap
tured, April 2S, 1867"
The Commissioners say
'"The wanton cruelties and barbartes Of those who
come among the settlers under the guse Of friend
ship call loudly for measures to prevent any and
all Indian tribes from coming within the borders. AS
long as they are allowed to at will those
portions of our State egitmately opened for settle
ment there can be no permanent feeling OF security
on our frontier-the settlements must necessary be
slow and hazadrous, and, as now, the settlers viii
not feel it safe to go for bucket OF water without
carrying arms for sell DEFENSE"

Money matters continue steady and rather quiet.
Borrowers comparatively scarce, especially In the
open MARKET but former rates for call loans and dis
counts remain unchanged. To-day is a rather busy
one in New York. since the Secretary OF the Trea-
sury makes his weekly purchase Of a million United
States bonds on Wednesday. The plan, not
withstandng the strong opposition 1t meets
with on the part OF some who regard 1t as an act
OF useless extravaganza to redeem at a premium OF
10 per cent notes that will not be matured for some
years TO come, seems to work well far, though it
may perhaps be improved If Mr. Boutwell,, instead OF
announcing the precise amount, would vary IL every
week. as to prevent the Wall street gamblers from
limiting his purchases to between half million and
i've Millions il is expected the speculation to which
the present plan gives rise may be prevented. Is is
not to be denied, however, that our financial cond-
on is very sensitive, and that IL is mach easier to
criticize bad plan than to originate an improve
ment
Government bonds opened and continue strong
The Gold market Is rather weak to-day so far,
opening at 142, and quoted at noon at 141H.
There was quite an active business to-day I'm Rail-
way shares at full prices City and State loans were
about steady. Reading Railroad advanced and sold
as high 4s3S.
In Pennsylvania Railroad there was considerable
movement, and 1t changed hands at 579(; Mnehill
Railroad at 5416, Little Schuylkil Railroad at 48s[
Camden and Amboy Railroad at t2S%, Northern Cen
tra Railroad at 4SA, and North Pennsylvania Rail-
road at 3513, b. O.
In Canal shares but little done and no chanoe IN
record in prices. Sales OF Lehgh Navigation at 341
In Bank shares there were sales of Farmers and
Mechanics at 1201(. J
Coal and Passenger Railway shares attracted little
attention. E46 was the best bid for Chestnut andWal-
nut; 27 for Spruce and Pine; 6i for West PhiladeI
Hestonville.
