Becrotary Scnorz has, after hoaring argn- ment from the railroad companies intor. estod, nfflrmed hik declsion made in July that all the lands granted by Congress to the saveral Prcific Rallroads, and pot sold by thoso milrond companies within three years after tho completion of tho roads, are now opon to privale entry and pro-emption at tho rogular Government prica for publie lands of $1.26 per acre, The soveral grants provided that these Iands should bo open to privato entry and to pro-omption unloss thoy were *‘sold and otherwise disposed of "by tho raflrond companies within the timo limited, Inrome ceses, ns in cortain Town ronds, the railroad compahies sold their lands in bulk for cash to land compauies, oand patents therofor were, fssucd by the United States, and such lands have been held as private property, and regularly taxed by the Btate and local nuthoritics ns other lands pntented Ly tho-Govern- ment, Inthe othor cnscs, the companics exccutod mortgages of the Iandd, or convoy- ancos of the lands to truatees, with power to acll and give, title, and apply tho proceeds to the bonefit of the companios, Mr. Jenry Brack has glven an opinion that this con- voyauco of the land to trustees, to securs debts or liabilities of tho compnnics, tully overcomos the requirement of tho iaw that all such lands uot sold, *or otherwise dis- posed of,” shall be opon to privato entry, o hins declared that in his opinion the con- veyanco of tho laud to trustees to secure the poayment of mortgages was a *disposal” of tho property, in tho contemplation of law. Mr, Sonnnz, Lowever, takes n different’ view of ‘tho caso, Ho clatins that it has beon the uniform policy of the United States to avoid the crention of large estates, and to placo the public Iands nt such rates and in reasonable quantities within the casiest pos- sible reach of those seoking them for notual sottlemont. Tho accnmulation of lands in Inrde quantitios in a fow honds has al. wnys beon regarded with distrust, and as opposed o tho best Juterests of the country. ‘Whon Congress granted the inimenso quan. titlea of land to aid in the construction of tho soveral Pacific Railronds, tho policy of Hecuring the lands to nctnal sottlers at ron-’ sounble prices was not abandoned. The companies were required {o scll-4beir lands within throo yenrs at such prives as could be got for them, or tho land was to bo opened to private ontry at tho standard price por ncre, and bo open nlso to the right of pro- emption, This would open thom to all persons of limited means, leading to the enrly settlomont of tho lands, and farnishing cheap howes to the industrions. Mr, Bcaung docldes, therofore, that the only disposition of theland intended by tho law to take it ont of thd right of pro-omption and private purchaso is a bona fido wale of tho land wilbin the timo indicatod by law. He holds that a mortgago is n wmore sccurity, vesting | no tiile to the laud in the mortgagoo either boforo or after tho condition is broken, be- causo tho mortgage can bo discharged na woll after as ot moturity, The companies in nong of tho casea lave parted with tha title to tho property.. Ho thus dotormines the matter finally : While the companica hy tho terma of the mort- ages biad the right to well and dlapare of the lands, ho Trusicen were o recolve the uraceeds of all tated of lanis made.. Thls right of Tho compantos 10 ol lands baving coasod by virtuo of the third section of tho act. of July 1, 1802, tho security of the mortyagees will ba_subrogated by moneys aris. ing from sales whot made by the Government, ‘This decision stands as the law of the caso until reversod by the courts, In the mean- time applications have been mado at the De- partment for lands herotofore held by the railrond companics, aud now opeu to private ontry at $1.26 por acro, It this docialon, be aftirmed, it will lead to the sale, for cash, or substautially casl, of an immensa aren of publio lands along the Hnes of tho railroad, leading to the rapld ocoupation and suiile- ment and the filling up of tho country with n productive population. Wa havo no doubt that tho raitroads would profit largely by the immedinte sale of all their lands at .25 per ncro, aud its cultlvation by o permanent pro. ductive people. It would be more profitable to tho ruilronds than the holding of tho land indefinitoly, and the consequent postpono- meont of settlomont. ——— SPECIE PAYMENTS IN 8ILVER DOLLARS - RESUMED. Tho Treasury of the United States hag practically resumod spocio payments, be- ginning with silver dollarw. It hasat last rocognized the fnportant fact that o silver dollar {4 o standard ocoin of tho 'United Htates, and & legal-tender for all purposcs for which coin is a logal-tender. ‘I'ie Hec- retary of the Tronsury has issued his official viroular to all tho offlucra of tho Troasury to tho efect: . 1. That silver dollars mny bo obtained from any publio dopository in exchange for greonbacks, Theso dollars will ba pald out in exchange for greenbacks in wums of $1,000 aud not over $10,000. All that the holdor of tha grocnbacks has to dg s to do- posit them at any Bub.Treasury snd apply for tho sllver and oblain it. This is ro. sumption in fact, as well nain law aod in theory. It will at once put $10,000,000 of eilver dollars in circulation fu addition to the greenbacks., It wiil vindicate the ability of tho Government to keep the greonbnoke at par with coinj it will vindicate the wiadow of tho remonetiza. tlon of silver ; and it will uliow tha resump. tion of spucie payments instesd of contract- ing the cyrrency will emancipate about $200,000,000 of coln fow locked up, sgd add it tothe gongral currency of the o'unnm . 2. The Sceretary gives notice that all Na- tional Bank notes sunt to tho Treasury for redowption, iustead of being redeemed, as heretofore, in greenbacks, will bo redeemod horeafter in silver dollars, Thus it will bo woen that the whole paper curroncy of the United Btates 1s now redecwable, on demand, in coin.' Bpeclo payments aro an accom. plisked fact, sud justead of thero beiug any coutraction of the currency tho volume of the currcncy is lucrensed by tho addition of the cuin to the mouney in circulation. ‘The nomingl differcuco of one-balf of 1 per cent botween gold and greenbacks yiust uow pass away. It @i trus that the silver tollars arc payable at the Treasury for ens. Inrgely returned to tho Treasury, tien silver ho thero will of conrso bo no premium on it, The troublo is not that there is too much silver, but that thero is not onough, The business of tho country can now absorb There is uso for the coin in overy vlllago, town, and city in the country, Thore is use for it in every mining district, in overy lumber region, nnd in every workshop, The scan- dalous fraud practiced fn the circulation of tho trade and the Mexican dollars-can now bonbolished. No man ought to receive any of thoge coins, So long na thoy nre kopt in ciroulation they will be pushed to tho exclue sion of tlio standard dollar. With tho stand- ard dollars in abundance thoy will become the most popular of all forms of monay among those whose oircnmatances require its 76,000,000 mora of silver dollars. expenditure as fast as roceived. Thisaction of tho Secretary in resuming specio payments in silver dollars places the greenbacks at par in exchango for 4 per cont bouds, Any person having $50, or $100, or nny other sum, in paper will now be able to exchinnfo thom at par for silver, and with tho silver purchaso a 4 por cont bond, This plncen those bonds without cost for preminm on gold within rench of the wholo peoplo, As fast ny tho silver shall be roturnod to the Tronsury In exchange for bonda and in pay- ment on dutios, the Bucrotary can direct its repayment in exchiange for interest eottpons, tho great mass of which, it {s now ns. cortained, are held in this country by our own people. Tho interost paid out aunually is mbout 00,000~ 000, and the sum recoived foy duties about $123,000,000, Coin ia noeded for these purposes throughout the yonr, the Interest on some portion of the bonds being payabio on the first of overy month In tho year Thua the Scorotary, even if ho liad four times the amount of silver dollnrs at his dlsposal that ho now has, will always hnva the menus of pnying out the silver dollary, &, fost.ns, they may be roturned’ to himw Each conpon. on evory 100 4 per cont Londueallnforone | dollar, and a coupon 18 pfiyn’m‘é_‘bv\i ithio firit ¢ of Jnnuary, April, July, add’ Uétober; oiloh: coupon on the 8100 4} per cent bond calls' for $1.12}, and oue is paynblo on tho flrst doy in ‘every March, June, Beptomber, and December; and oach conpon on the 3100 » per cent bonds calls for $1.25, and ono falls duo on the first of overy February, May, August, and November, TInterest paymonts, therefore, on these bonds are-in sinall sutns, only payabla in silver, and silvor ia capeenlly availablo {o redoom all these sinall coupons. Undor theso circumstances thero need b no trouble apprehended in keoping the ailver in éirenlation, and the colungo of silver dol. lars to the fall limit authorized by law may therefore bo safoly prosecuted. Whon the country is supposed to be clamoring for nn. limitod enrroncy, even in the shapo of fint paper, thers can bo no danger that the people will complain of a surfeit of silver dollnrs, and ‘the minta may therefore be allowed to coin to the full axtont of the law. We submit tho queation o the deluded people who aro clamoring for flat paper, whother tho issu of ellver dollars, and thoir exchango for greenbacks, and the usa both of tha paper and the silver Interchangeably, is lilely to Injure the country, Hero is tho nation actually pdying out silver dollars to all who want thom in cxchauge for groon. backs, aud who is or aan Ve injured by the operation? The whole silver colnage ia now ndded to the general ourroncy of the coun- try, aud never in the Liatory of the natlon was thero an equal number of paper and coin dollars, of an equal valuo, in gencral circulation. cab s YELLOW-FEVER TREATMENT, Tt fs somewhat remarkable that, while tha principal cities of the Southwest ave full of yollow fovor, nnd their peoplo, black and white, are dying off by hundreds overy day, tho phyaicians of that seotion cling to old remedies, the inofficiency of which is shown by tho increasing mortality pad the utter do- spair of the physicians themselves that there cau Lo nuy reliof until frost comes, nud re. fuse to givo new remedios any sufficlont teut.

Money is made of gold ond silver; “ita’ volunia affocts prices, and through prices tho welfare of every~ body, Tho produetlon of the raw material of moucy bas sensibly diminishod of Inte yoors; 1t onco rénched $223,000,000 a yoar, but is now only $170,000,000. Of " this' “product, It is estimated 40,000,000 go into tho orls and industries, 830,000,000 to make good the wenr and tenr in the world, of toin, 850,000,000 into Asia, and 40,000,000 are left for money. This ox- plains the trouble Germany is having 1n ra- plnolng lier silver with gold, and proves that tho Uuitod States could never have resumed specic-paymouts on hg, gold bnals, tho Inst twenty years thera has been au extraordinary growth of international trade, ‘That of England hne increased 07 per cent, of. Frauce 164 por cent, of Belgium 277 por cont, of Tussin 269 per cent, of Austria 215 por cont, and of Italy 501 per cent, ‘Tho commeree of the wholo warld, according to the Economist Franeai's, hns in- crensed 140 por cent. Bills of exchauga set- tlo tho most of tho balances, but coln los tobo used, The political changes in Bouth- castern ' Europe, and_the: yond, bridge, and railwoy building operat of Russia'in tho Balkans and Roumanta, of Austrin in Bosnin uand Uerzogoving, and of England in Cyprus, will draw millions of coin inta thas' region, A wido belt of - Asiatic and Europienn terri. tory is shown by Orterz Lesute to bo omerg. ing from barter into counnorce. Thia chango 1a still in progress in Bweden, Norway, Rus- sin, Huugary, Spalu, Ttaly, Tarkey, and all through Asin, with rising pricos and an im- perativo call for moro coln. Oredit is used as never befora in trade, it s true, but orodit must hiave o cein Lnsle, Here is proof not to bo gainsaid: England employs crodit moro and 1 more forms than auy other country, In tha lnst thirty yenrm its atock of spcole has more than doubled, rising frem H250,000,000 in 1844 to £600,000,000 in 1877, Wauren Baoeuor, the foremost En. glish financwl writer, slways insistod En. gland wns on tho verge of ruin beonuso its credit systom was too hoavy for its coin re- serves, ‘Whon Bacrotary BovrwerL was in London solling United Statos bonds, he had ou doposit ot the Bank of England about 224,000,000, He was notified by the Dank not to withdraw that sum in spealo, but. to'take bills of oxchange; otherwiso the bank would use its vast power to closo the London market against his bhonds, Tho Beorstary of courso hid Yo yield. When tho British Government had the 15,000,000 of the Alnbama indomnity o puy to this country, tho commeralal and financial ocircles of London petitioned the Govornmaont not to miske the settlement in coln. Dy Laverere deolares that Europo ought to blesa the United States for having spared [t tho frightfal financial crisis that wonld have beon caused .by the withdmwal of gold to resuma specle-payments with the gold standard. ‘Tho conclusions of Burss In hia book on the Fature of Gold, which has boen fully roviewed by Tur Tamuxe, are approved by Dz Iaveizve. It is a geo- loglcal fast that tho produotion of gold Is deorcasing, aud it Is a flnancial foct that the demauds of commerce snd credit for coln are incrossing. This nscortalned, the quostion of discontinuing tha use of ailver bocomes simply a question whether it is best for the world to have n large or smal} stock of colu. Homz, In his essay on Money, gives tho anawer whon ho shows Low, in o community where monoy (uot credit) Legins to ciroulate moro froely than Lofore, trade and Industry start forward, and the merchaut, the farmer, And the manufucturer rodouble their efforts, The American Mone- tary Comulusion, fu thelr repoyt of 1877, In the ohapter called * Bhrinking Money Fatal to Labor,” havo glven*many proofs of this great truth.’ The prodigious davelopment of trade and production that fullowed the gold-liscovaries of Oulifornia and Austre. inaro proof cuough. Tho Ilslland Monet tary Commieslon of 1878 admirably desoribed the good effucts of an abuadance of hard money: ‘There are two countries before us that illustrute the whole wmatter. Gormany, by driving out silver and suppressing small bauk-notes, Liss wade money scarce. No country has suffered as much as Germany In the provalent worldwide distress. France, besidos o large bank circulation, possosses aelock of coin money that iy continually added to by its forelgn trade.
