The Foreign Gold and what is done
with it.

The New York assay Office and the
Philadelphia mint are engaged in "nat-
uralizing' the English sovereigns re-
Gently imported into this country.
Up to Friday evening the New York
office had melted into bars Of bullion
G635, 900 sterling of English sovereigns
the average value of which was 81 S44,
and netting in our currency So, ,O76,575
gold. The aggregate weight of this
gold was six tons, all of which was
melted in FIVE days. Parties deposit
ing this gold received returns from
the assay Office, and the Sub-Treasury
cashed checks for the same THUS
the bullion becomes the property Of
the United States and is sent to the
mint to be coined in such pieces as the
Government may elect, after which
the coin is sent to the New York Sub
Treasury. The Government has ar
ranged to coin these sovereigns as soon
as received, and the system of giving
checks for value received is ascertained
to be great convenience to parties
receiving this gold from the other
side. 1t is estimated that at least S.
100000 of English gold is now on the
way, and it looks as if more would
come, as England must not only have
her supply of cotton, but large sup
ply Of grain, as some Europ can count
ries, usually supplying her deficiency,
are this year short England, indeed
needs more grain than can be trans
ported by water and rail from the sea-
board, or by the available tonnage
across the ocean.

The McCOOk Murder.

YANKToN, Oct. 22.-The Grand
Jury in the Territory District Court
for this county, returned an Indictment
this morning against P. P. Winter
mute for the murder of Secretary Nc
Cook, charging him with manslaughter
only. The friends Of General McCook
are very indignant, and do not hesi-
tate to say that the members of the
Grand Jury have been corruptly in
fuenced, as it is understood that Win.
termute has been using money freely
wherever it would do the most good
The course of the jury has been the
source of general scandal for some
days past, and their action, and the
probable result of their investigation
have been freely reported on the streets
from day to day. As result of this,
Judge Barnes censured the jury when
che indictment was presented in the
most severe terms, and in closing told
them they might return, but not with
the thanks ofthe court. It is understood
that several members stood out siren.
uously for an indictment for murder
until they fouud they must take man.
slaughter or nothing, the vote stand
INC evenly divided. Tt is understood
that the next move of the defense will
be for bail, and then delay and con-
tinuance. This may be found an un-
wise course at present, as the feeling
is very deep, and many regard the
course of the Grand Jury as a confes
sion of fear to submit the question of
the murder to q petit jnry, and when
the impression shall prevail that just
ice is to be baked by the use Of money,
or otherwise, serious results may follow

ended her labors in this city Monday
night last Although it is claimed
that through her instrumentallty some
fifty souls have been made to realize
the duty they owe to their Creator,
still it must be admitted that the re-
ported successes usually attending upon
her misistrations have not marked her
efforts in this city. Why this is the
case, we are unable to explain, unless
it be that the people of this city are
not so susceptible to the influence Of
her peculiar style as those in other

ally crowded; yet no enthusiasm was

CHARGES AGAINST Col. GLLEM.-Our
readers will remember this officer as the
one relieved from command Of the forces
acting against the Modocs, by Gen.
Davis. He now stands charged with I'M
pardonable neglect, in that he failed to
send necessary relief to Major Thomas
while surrounded in the lava beds, and
also that he refused to have the wounded
cared for until thirty-six hours had
passed, thus causing indirectly the death
of Lieutenant Harris, one of the victims.
Intense Indignation exists among army
officers against Col. Gillem, and they de-
mand his trial by court martial. II
guilty he deserves punishment to the
full extent of the law.

IMMIGRATION.

An interesting article appeared in the
Sacramento UnioA last week regarding
the number Of ~emigranfs coming TO the
United States from European countries,
which contains many features Of interest
and information. 1t is asserted that in
one week the imports of foreign mer-
chandise at New York were valued at a
little over So, OOO, 900. During the same
week 10000 foreign emigrants were
landed at Castle Garden, being the largest
number landed in the same space of time
since the foundation of the Government.
A noticeable feature among the new ar
rivals is that they all seem to be of a
better class than has been the case here
tofore. An estimate made shows that
each emigrant brings somewhere in the
neighborhood of $3.50 coin, which would
make So, 600, 900 among the 40, 1000 ar
rivals. This amount will compensate for
three-fourths Of the gold sent away to
pay for foreign imported articles during
that week. When one regards the con-
slant stream of emigrants which is flow
ing into the United States, and allow
each individual to bring $3.50, the aggre-
gate will foot up into the millions and
as the money is used v%ariously by its
possessors, immense wealth is being
constantly added to defray the outgoing
specie used in trade. From the figures
of Raymond, the Commissioner of Mines
and Mining, the amount of coin actually
brought to this county through the
means of emigrants will fall but a few
millions short of the whole estimated
yield Of our mines of precious and other
metals. In 1872 there were 300, 900 peo-
Pile of all kinds added to our population
this year it will exceed 400, 000, and it
can safely be estimated ut 500. 600 for the
coming year. 1t is a gratifying fact that
the thousands who have emigrated thither
and become permanent residents are 30
well pleased with their change Of con-
dition that they are constantly inviting
others to come. Then, as shown by
and estimates, the class Of mr.
are improving in character, being
from the higher classes of mechanics and
trades-people Of the old world. There is
certainly room enough for all who desire
to embrace and improve the advantages
held out by u Government, and the
times look forward to a great scarcity Of
the bone and sinew in monarchical and
despotic countries, and q consequent lie
crease in prosperity. The broad policy
adopted by our forefathers is reaping its
fruit, and ere long the United States of
America must take rank as the great
est nation the world ever saw.

moRE MODOc TROUBLE.

The late news by telegram from the
Modoc country is full Of interesting de-
tails Of the murder. Of several Indian
captives while in charge of James Fair
child who, it appears, was escorting them
to a reservation. The attack was made
by two men disguised, who ordered Fair
child to stop the wagon in which were
seventeen captives, including Shack Nasty
jim, Bogus Charley, Tehee Jack, Pony
and Little John, and immediately CON
menced firing on the Indians, killing
Little John, Tehee Jack, Pony and
Mooch, and wounding the squaw of the
former. While we cannot recognise the
right or justice in this slaughter, history
tells us that such treatment has been the
custom of savages toward the whites for
time immemorial. The determination of
these warriors will have the effect, a. in
deed it appears already TO have had, to
excite the fury of the remaining saw
ages and their Indian allies. We are
told that General Davis invited several
persons to visit his camp for the purpose
of identifying members of the Modoc
band who were principals in a massacre
committed last November. While par
leying with them, two women, Mrs.
Schiera and Mrs. Boldly, made desperate
attempts to kill Hooka Jim and Steam
boat Frank, and were only prevented by
the interference Of General Davis in per-
son, who himself received a cut in the
hand from a knife in the hands of an in
furiated woman Who can blame these
when it is known that these two
wretches murdered their husbands and
sons, drove them from their homes which
they robbed and plundered? In this
late intelligence we can see the strife that
must ensue between the settlers and the
remaining members of Captain Jacks
band. The military authorities will
scarcely be powerful enough to protect
their captives against the fearful indig-
nation of the relatives of the victims of
previous depredations, massacres and as
assinations, and the laws of the State of
Oregon can never be carried into execu-
ton while such bitterness of feeling
exists among the settlers. 1t is all very
well to speak enthusiastically of the nobil-
ity and courage displayed by Captain
Jack and his associate warriors, but the
sentiments of d~etestation and bitter
longing for revenge which must exist
among those who have suffered from
their t~reachery, will scarcely recognise
aught but the savage nature which
prompts the Indian to acts Of murder
and pillage. |EEs=

brother of Charles Flynn, alias Morti,
mer, has recently visited San Francisco.
where he interviewed some of the de-
t~eetives with a view Of ascertaining more
of the history of his brother. 1t is re-
ported that Frank has made the tour OF

gathering data from which to publish a
true history of the noted criminals career.
Would it not look more brotherly to
strive to bury the past history Of the I'M
fortunate man, than TO speculate upon

A RAN UNDERWRITING.

The Viceroy of Egypt seems to be :
ruler differing widely from his effeminats
predecessors, and one realizing the on
ward march of improvement apparent
everywhere around him, while his own
kingdom remains supinely in the sloth
and mire of ignorance and h~eathenism-
In the N, Y. Herald we read a lengthy
and interesting account of a proposed
railroad, which will be called the Sou
dan, trayersing the entire length of
Egypt, opening up to the natives OF the
world some Of the finest and most arabic
land found in any country. The river
Nile will be assembled with steamers 10
the first cataract, where the English en-
gineer in charge of the grand work pro-
poses to haul all classes of vessels, from
light steamers te heavily laden ships,
over an inclined railway by hydraulic
power, a distance of 1867 yards, when
they will be launched again into the
navigable river. The stupendous under
taking will cost, by estimate of the engi-
neer, $36, 274 per mile, or $40, GIG, 800
for the entire distance, and will be one of
the most remunerative enterprises of the
age. Mr.. Fowler says
Assuming the working expenses of the Soudan
Railway to be 80 per cent. of the gross receipts
(which is seven per cent. higher than the aver
age working expenses of all the Indian ~railwaysl
1t can scarcely be doubted that the traffic from
the local and through sources enumerated will
yield u satisfactory return upon the small cost
Of the proposed railway. Under any circum'
stances a large Increase of the national wealth of
Egypt must necessarily follow such an opening
up Of its undeveloped resources. One of the
national benefits which will be conferred by this
great work will be the facility of transporting.
under proper regulations, the surplus labor
from Equatorial Africa to the cultivated dis
tricts OF Egypt.
