The London Spectator Of September
lth has an article ON Speculation 10

ays: He ives the most munIicent

t may have been, was the result OF dis

marks. WAS assailed with savage cal
umny, but his only offrnse was engaging
in productive enterprises. with the full
OF the vast majority Of people
who dealt with him. The Spectator adds
that there are two considerations which
may diminish the severity OF the con.
domination. In the first place the people
OF the State of California who were de-
positors and shareholders 10 the Bank,
cordially approved aud sustained what
may appear to us the reckless action OF
the President; but further, he and they
appeared to be justified in their conf
dence by the experience Of financial
methods which. though condemned by
European maxims OF business. had al
ready brought in an abundant harvest Oh
gain, both to the individual SPECTATORS
and the community" The article also
saws that !" the position Mr.. Ralston had
attained in the State commercially, polit-
ically and even socially, had made birn
many enemies. and they, taking advan-
taee of the drain of gold and OF the ordi-
nary demands of tho harvest time,
organized run ON the house. which
compelled the suspension OF payments.

A Washington dispatch of the 9th
says: .a.a '.-
DR.. Linderman, Director OF the Mint
has just returned from his annual tour OF
inspection of the various Minis and
| assay offices, and also Of the inspection
of sites for new Mint to be located
somewhere in tho valley of the Missis-
sippi. He gives good account OF the
various MINIS and the working OF the
various gold and silver mines on the
Pacific slope. His report on this subject
will be very interesting and its prepare
ton will be commenced early next week.
He does not indicate his preference for a
site for the new Mint, but speaks in high
terms Of those sites inspected at Cincin'
natl, Chicago and st. Louis. In his re-
port to the Secretary OF the Treasury
relative to his tour of Inspection, he will
recommend the selection OF site at one
OF the aforementioned places.
If iron was to be coined, Cincinnati
would be eligible, If copper. Chicago
would not be out of place, and If lead
was to be stamped into coin of the realm
a st. Louis Mint would be most enin
emily proper. But gold and silver vii
