BURGLARs.-Several of the light
fingered gentry have been operating
in Lancaster during the past week
On Friday night the dwelling of Mr..
Addison Barber was entered and sew
eral dollars in currency taken. The
same night they went through mer-
chant Lewis cellar and helped
themselves to oysters, bread and milk
otc. On that night also, some one
twisted off door knob at Gen. Cal
lis dwelling, which was probably
done in attempting to effect an en-
trance there. No further thefts OF
molestation have been reported. II
is hoped that the law may reach
them.

We Want More Money.

The barrier heretofore existing between the
sections east and west of the Rocky mountains
was broken down by the completion of the Pa
cifc railroad. Other transcontinental railroads,
north and sou b, will complete the work of its
removal. Hereafter old-style California ways of
doing business WON'T answer, for we are in effect
but short distance removed from the monied
enterprising East. Our isolated provincial sys-
ten is played out, and brought face to
face with the great commercial world. Seven
thousand men said TO want employment in
San Francisco, men who live by their labor
alone and are desirous of work. Now what is
the matter? 1t will not do to urge that Chinese
labor has supplanted them. The ignorant and
prejudiced may believe this, but the facts don I
show it, The population of the State has in
creased and the amount of taxable property is
much larger. Our exports and agricultural pro-
ductions are in proportion. Why then does such
an apparent slackening in the demand for labor
manifest itself? 1t is because the capitalists and
the mechanics of the Pacific coast encounter
competition with Eastern capital and workmen
One of the principal causes of this state Of things
is the high rate of interest, owing to limited
specie currency. Paper money facilitates trade
and in all civilized countries is found essential
to commercial progress. The iron coin of Sparta
requiring two yoke of cattle to haul moderate
sum of money was specie currency carried to an
extreme and efectually accomplished the object
sought by Lycurgus of preventing the Spartans
from becoming trading people. In trade gold
must necessarily yield to paper as a generally
circulating medium, because of the greater con-
whence in handling it. Here, liz California, we
pay dearly for having metallic currency, and
have but little of it at that. Why is there such
an universal stress upon the public for want of
means to pay their debts? 1t is not because of
lack of property that is abundant; it is the
want of money. Our circulating medium is
insufficient for the requirements of business
There is not enough hard money in the country
1t is matter that will regulate itself in time,
and one in which all are alike interested. The
experience of mankind has pronounced always
in favor of a mixed currency, and the sooner we
adopt it here the better for US all. Through an
exclusive specie currency, worth more here than
anywhere else, mOnopolists have been enabled
TO control every branch of business 10 this State
and in this alone lies their power San Fran
cisco is losing the best of her trade bebause she
is behind the times in this respect, and the pub
lie generally are much poorer for the same
reason. Whatever may be said by the advo-
Gates of hard money the facts are palpable and
stubborn. The change must come.

KEEP INTERIoR CAPITAL AT HoME.-There is
one evil from which the Interests OF the interior
have long suffered, and which the present dnll-
ness in city real estate will be likely to cure.
We allude to The practice of residents of the in
terror bringing their surplus money here to in
vest in city property. There is no speculation
in our land, these dull times, and therefore the
inducement to bring outside capital here is at
least temporarily removed. The papers of the
interior have for years complained of the selfish
ness of San Francisco capitalists, in refusing to
aid the development of the State. This charge
ought to have been made against the merchants
and rich owners of the country as well as against
San Franciscans. Persons now residing in the
interior of California own fully 100000, 900
worth of city real estate. Had this money,
which they took away from the country where
they made it, been kept at home il would have
opened dozens of mines, built up many a new
and needed home mandatory, and extended
farming and substantial Improvements. Nevada
county especially has suffered from the with
drawal of home capital which WAS brought here
to increase that which certainly needed no out
side stimulant-we mean city real estate specu-
ation. The present dullness is largely due to
neglect of the country, and an attempt to place
the city and land speculation ahead of those sub
stantial landed, manufacturing and like inter-
ests, upon which the prosperity OF this city, as
of every other city, depends If every large real
estate man here and in the interior Will make it
his business to invest at least FIVE per cent. of
his capital in some enterprise that will make CAL
fornia independent of the outside world, he will
be adopting the best possible plan of removing
the present real estate duluess, of building up
the State, and of making still more valuable the
land which lie already ownse-.San francisco

THE FINANCES OF THE PoPE.--The ways and
means of the Pope, says the London Daily NewS,
have long been the wonder of Christendom and
just now they are more marvellous than ever.
For the last five weeks bishops have been arrv-
ing at Rome from all parts of the world, and
nearly every one is the bearer os the offerings of
the faithful. bishop from the Pacific coast of
South America brought $4,000 in coin. The
editor of Turin paper presented $50, ,OO0 col
lected from his subscribers. These gifts have
arrived at their destination, but not all. Two
reverend gentlemen had conveyed precious
freight to the holy city, and were in the act of
alightng at their hotel, when the driver of their
vehicle suddenly lashed his horses and got away
with the box which had been guarded with so
much care. The Pope's revenues just now,
like his expenditures, extraordinary. But his
ordinary income is very large. According to
the Roman Observer, sum equal to "a 900, 900
sterling has been cast into his lap during the
last ten years. Yet the deficit is double the
amount of the annual revenue.
