| SECRETARY BOUTWELL, ON THE SYNDICATE.
E1-Scesctary Boutwell, writes to the Boston Daily
4ddueTtiser in answer 10 the criticisms which have
| recently been mnde so freely nbout the relations
| between the Government und the Syndicate. In
| defending Secretary Sherman ex-secretary Bout
well defends himself from, the present Secretary
inhcriting his policy Mr. Boutwell, recalls the ILL.,
success OF bis efforts in 1870 and 1871 to offer the
5-per cent bonds to the public through the officers
Of the Treasury, and without the Intervention Of
| Syndicate. There was IN offer Of what is
| now termed q popular loan. Special and
persistent efforts were made to Sc
| cure subscriptions In the end, and after
every means to advance the undertaking had been
exhausted, the subscriptions amounted to about
sos, 0O0 900, and Of this than $50 ODO 600
were taken by the National Banks. Further than
this the department wus unable to proceed, and,
after considerable dclay, an arrangement WAS made
with body Of bankers for what remained Of the
drstoIer Of $500. 900, 600 OF 5pcr cent bonds This
plan was successful, and from that time forward
there has been essential changes In the mode Of
managing the business.
Dir. Boutwell, claims that the fact that five sccre-
tarcs Of the Treasury in have employed
tho Syndicate is good proof that there was no bet
ter plan.
''Thc truth is, - he says ''thnt no great 1oan,-
O loan Of S1o0, 600, GOO, has ever been taken BY
any people, except under circumstances widely
different from those czistins in the United States
at the present time. The French loan, Of which so
much has been said, was loan bearing per cent
interest," and it was sold at less than SO cents the
dollar, II the people Of the United States should
otter per cent bond Of indefinite lime, at IS per
cent Of it's par value, the subscriptions would be
equal to all the available capital OF the country;

''Thc boys'' on Change arc laughing at the
dilemma OF the man who bought wheat at 81. 20 to

wheat has declined In the nciglborhood OF 10 sh1-

Of the Board nre even yet emurrirg under losses

Wheat for August delivery has declined about
SC during The past week, and there is reason to
believe that most Of 1t is due to the men who arc
usually regarded rs bulls. They were Obliged to
scll being unable to carry any longer wheat which
had cost them great deal more money. Ono OF
them sold 500, 600 bu early in the week, which was
taken hy the shorts. The longs have recently done

The inspection Of wheat for the first eleven tinys

Of State and War, at n conference over
The matter, agreed that there was as yet
no evidence inculpating Diaz in the law

New Orleans is much excited and is

Excitement also runs high in certain
Arcles here; and the occurrence is re-
garded as very likely to lead to open
hOstilities should the Mexican authorities
show disposition to support the mob.
