NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1869.-TRIPLE SHEET. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Sunpay, Feb. 21, 1869, There are few subjects which have engaged as deep thought and employed as profound miads as that of national finance. The art, or the science, ts one to which there 1s no royal road, as we may in- fer from the dliticuities which have always beset the Path of the wisest theorists. Ibis notas yet, what- -ever it may be in the future, @ science as plainly ‘Worked out as the probiems of mathematics or logic, At the time of Engiaud’s great monetary distress in ‘the beginning of the present century it was not her nistorical financier, sir. Pitt, who introduced the measures of relief, but a private gentleman suddenly called to the position of Chancellor of the Ex- chequer. Mr. Pitt hud filed this office for twenty- seven years, and despity bis acknowleaged abilitica | British finances continued plunged in seemingly | Nopeless confusion. {t was not until the year 1513, when specie payments had remained suspended about sixteen years, that a change in the adminis- tration of this branch of the government ‘was made. The new incumbent, Mr. Vansittart, at once adopicd a policy which startled ‘the frien'ls of Mr. Pitt with its very boldness and originality. He thrust aside the old theores and went to work upon entirely new ideas, with tae Tesult of re-establisuing specie payments in a com- paratively brief period. Tue fact and the precedent are interesting to us in these days when the fiuan- lal question cones home to every nan with more shan ordinary force. ‘he country is prosperous and going tobe more 60. The signs of it are all around as. The four years of war, which would have pros- trated the energies of another country for half a century, are gradually vanishing ta the dim past, so Yar as their effects upon our industry are concerned, Itistrue there are heavy taxes and heavy imposts for the general support of the government, put ‘wages and salaries were never so high, while labor 4m no part of ihe worl! 1s s0 amply remunerated as here. The capliatists of Europe are gradually in- vesting their wealth wiih us, There are numerous enterprises which are almost entirely their pro- perty. Some prefer this method of employing their means, but tne recent sudden appreciation of our national securities in the foreign market indicates that there are others again who are content to lend us the money with which to carry on these enterprises for ourselves, content with making six per cent Upon their investment, while we earn ten and twelve from the empioyment of their capital, The ship- ments of United States bonds and rallway stocks during the present mouth were hardly less than $30,000,000, The steady appreciation of this kind of Property during te expired portion of the year 1349, or perhaps since the election of General Grant, ie all the more remarkuole iroia the fact that during the past few days, despite a large decline in the pre- mium on gold, there was no retrograde movement an the stock market, but a teudeacy toward higher prices, The explanation of such inconsistency les outside financial theories. It is as curious as the fact cited in the begining of this articls. Can it oe that we are gradually gliding to specie payments with- out the terr.ble ordesi witch Eagland underwent, commercially a3 well as financially? And how pat at this moment comes in the decision of the Supreme Court on the lezal tender question—permitting, as it does, two kinds of money which shall be used har- moniously side by sie, apprvaching each other slowly and gently until in the future their difference shall cease! How fortunate for #he great debtor class that this provideatial ruling should be hit upon; for it is more like a matt r of chance and good for- tune, ali things considered, than the result of delib- erate wisdom, We have a vast currency when the figures are spread out before the eyes. Redundant as it is said to be, how is it that our money market 4s 80 often subjected to stringeacy and spasms, from the shipment of a few mi lions in this direction or in that? The South and West are clamoring at the doors of Congress for more greenbacks. 1fso needy of them now, what wili be the demand afew years hence, wien the thousand and one new enterprises, cotton mils, four muls aud manufactories are in fall oper: tion? General Grant in, forming his Cabi- net, wor (do wel! to bear in mind the fact about Mr. Put anv lect for the national Treasurer a man who 1s not a 1 2¢ theorist. Tue great “inanifest destiny’’ of the repuviic needs a practical common-sense man Uke Grant hin and not a professional financier, The week In \vali street closed upon a very eaay ‘money market—*oo easy, in fact, to permit the be- ‘Hef that its condition is wholly normal and devoid of artidcial afueaces, Tue change from seven per cent, gold, the rate of interest on Wednesday, to four per cent on Saturday is too sudden to be the result of Jegitimate abundance, although the number of offer- ings at low rates 18, doubtless, to be attributed to the desire to secure three days’ interest for the holidays to Tuesday next. ‘he real secret of the difference Mes in the wish of certain operators in bonds and stocks, who came near accomplishing @ panic the other day, to unload what they then bought at low figures. In the government market there has been a great deal of this speculation, and it 1s openly charged that prominent Cabinet oficials and mein- bers of Congress are leagued with Wall street gam- blers to work prices up and down the scale as suits their interests. Money ouglt to be pientiful at this season of the year in Lie metropolis, and the rate on cail loans should have gravitated to four or three per cent a week ago. Lut the seasons of Wall street, if they may be so styled, aro all backward this year, owing to the disturbances in the market at the close of 1568 and the postpouements consequent thereon. The weekly bank statement compares unfavorably with tis predecessor. The totals of the two weeks are as follows:— Fed, 13. Feb. 20, Loans Spi Circulation Net deposits Legat tenders. The changes in the ditierent liems are as follo Decrease tn loans Decrease in specie... Decrease in circulation. Decrea-e in depos: Decrease in legal tenders. It ts only proper to say that two different views are taken of it, and that by many it ts not regarded as very anfavorabie, tue Gecrease In deposits reduc- ing the liabilities and makiag ap for the unsatisfac- tory showing in the othor News, Chacun &@ son gout.

Some would meng it here; others wouid puta patch upon it there. One would equalize the Aiuount of circulation between tae sections; another would oppose it—have it ailin the East, ‘and none in tie West.

It is related of a prominent journalist of tus city that during the exciting period of the war, baving received a telegram from a Washington correspon- dent communicating some startling intelligence, which began, “We live in an age of great events,” he immediately wrote back to the sender of the de- spatch to the effect that he certainly was correct in making such statement, but inasmuch as this was quite as easy of appreciation in New York city as in Washington, it was scarcely necessary to incur the expense of telegraphing the information from the latter city here. Now, it is doubtless a fact as clearly understood by the majority of our people that New York has reached a crisis in its history; but as such circumstance calls for ome comment, and is sug- geotive of certain duties pertaining thereto and de- volving upon us, we venture to premise with this assertion, The growth of New York city, beginning with the early settlement of our Dutch ancestors én the southern extremity of Manhattan id, has, up to the present tume, been inatrict obedience to the simple, or- dinary laws of developement, As the population of the infant sett‘ement increased by degrees the limits of the built up district were extended to embrace more and more of the surace of the ts!and, and year after year saw the gradual absorption of the green fields and woods which lay back of the town, and afterwards Lael a! into the paved streets of the growing metro] ‘When a certain int in this progression h; oak reached, and it had so far en- larged its area that the opposite shore of Long Island seemed nearer to the business centre then the then outlying unbuilt district of the city proper, colony was formed there, and Brooklyn, a3 an ad- junct of New York, set out on a similar path of dos and extension. Side by side the two cities ave since continued their territomal growth, unui we have now reacned o nt =when both of them embrace within their corporate and bulit up areaga district so oxtenstva that such serious inconvenience is felt at the loss of time occasioned in travelling to and from the present unoccupied ter- ritory of each and the trade centre as to require the application of some new principles in directing and securing tacit fature extension, All this, a, has been brought about in obedience to the im} uve demands of commerce and trade, against the severest struggie of increasing popula- tion to domicile itself convenient to its business m- terests, It is this struggle that nas cansed the erec- tion of those monster tenement houses where the artisan life of the metropolis has been forced to herd, as if no other spot on earth offered them @ resting place, which, ever objectionable, even in their earlier establishment, when less crowded than at presen are now so many breeding places of disease au death. Following te same rule of pi a which has heretofore marked the growth of New York and brooklyn, eee ig now no remedy for this, as appre: ciation, bg @ foreknowledge of great e iusere oe at the myer gone has pussed tess tenement honse districts and carried to so high a figure the price of the land above and beyond them on Manhattan Isiand, stil unoccupied, as to preclude all possibility of its ever beitlg turned to the uses of the workingmau. Nor can it be continued long; Jor the same prescience wich bas given euch value to these up town lots, already presents the spectacle of the whole of the lower portion of the island con- verted mtoa yast city of shops and warehouses, teeming with life and industry daring the business hours of the day, but left to the scarce occupancy of the watch at night. Here, then, is @ grave problem presented for our solution, the proper settlement = which invoives a crisis in the progress of our city. Where are we to find homes not alone for the vast number of those who will be thus driven from their preseat insuMctent domiciles, but the great army of new workers aa well which the future great needs of trade will draw hither. The problem fo this great age of steam and prodigious engineering achievements is easy of demonstration, if we be but found enterprising enough to avail ourselves of the means which the eniightened energy of this nineteenth century places at our disposal and possess the skiti and daring to utilize then t to thelr fullest extent. To begin, we must get rid of old fogyiem and of that nervous ap- ——— so ready to manifest itself of what might Jappen, but, Nevertheless, with proper precautions, need never ocour, We made a mistake when we turned the locomotive out of our streets and stopped if at the Outskirts of the city—a mistake which can- not too soon be rectified. Steam is the ouly motive power chat will supply. our present demand for rapid means of transportation from point to point; but of what littie use is it in connecting New \ork "with its outlying suburbs when miles of slow jocomotion stand between us and tts availability? We must have tunnels or ele’ railroads that will permit tue use of steam as a propelling power, and this ob- tamed, we have a limitiess territory where homes may be found for our working population. It ts gratitying to see, while a the same time It is significant uf the truth of these observations, how movements in this direction are in progress. Ali ex- perience demonstrates their ulumate profit, and even 4B near to us as on the lines of railroads which have their termini in New Jersey and are permitted to run steam cars to the river side.

Cavanagh upon the construction of the Mining actof July, 1866, containing valuable information. He saye:--‘The act authorizes the issuing of patents only to claimants who have occupied and improved their mines according to the locat customs or rules of minerseand have expended thereon in actual labor and improvements an amount not less than $1,000, and it is sitogether tmmaterial whether the possessory title was acquired before or after the passage of the act. This is the construction given to this statute not only by the Courts of Montana, but of all other courts #0 far as this office 1s advised, in which they have but followed the rulings of this of- fice in giving effect to the express letter and une- quivocal meaning of the act. Prior to the passage of this statute considerable difference of opinion existed as to the propriety of selling the mining lands, many persons contending that the effect would be gradu- ally te take them out of the proprietorship of actual miners apd vest their titie in capitalista of the Eastern cities, who would control them merely for purposes of specuiation, greatly to the prejudice of ‘the interests dependent upon Gevelopment ofthe mines. This diversity of opipion existed im and out of Congress, and was only reconciled by the policy which was incorporated into the act of July 26, 1866, of granting tities only to claimants who previous to § plying for patents had occupied and improved eir claims according to the local mining customs, and 3 an earnest of their intention to continue im- proving and Rother 2 their mines, can produce satisfactory evidence of having expen on them tn actual iabor and improvements an ‘amount, Not less than $1,000, Jt is not the desire nor the policy of the ss to part with the ticle to its mining lands xcept for the purpose of promoting and stimulating the mining interest, and hence it grants titles only to those who are prepared to furnish the evidence the statate requires of such bona fide inten- tion, The same policy is observed in refer- ence to agricultural tracts under the pre-emption and homestead =, under each of which evidence must be — luced «before a patent can be obtainedof bona jide intention to im. prove and cnitivate theiand for agricultural purposes, such as the erection of a dweilin; house, continued ote ie on the land claime for a certain length of time, and the caitivation of a certain number of acres—circuimstances which are at least as conclusive of good faith on the part of the agricultural claimant as the expenditure of sic 000 is upon that of the claimant under the Mining law. The first section of the Mining act expressly recog- nizes the occupancy of the mines 2 mining pur- poses under the local customs, and if parties fer w continue working their mines under local mining regulations they are at a to do 80; the act does not compel them to appl; nts, ‘The ninth section of the vast contains no provision about tasuing patents and none could be issued un- der it. It simply legalizes rights to the use of water, which have grown up under local a 80 that if oients are issued for lands through which such ditches and canals extend they would have to be made subject to such prior rights to the use of the water and of the ditches and canals. ‘These canals often cost many thousands and even hundreds of thousands of doil to construct them.

Heretofore, the Central Ratlroaé Com- ny have been able to charge local rates on all Trelwuts shipped from Buifalo or Rochester for All or points east of that city. Now, we see it stated that the Erie proposes to carry freight to Albany at thesame rates as the Central via the Albany and Susquehanna from Binghamton. This will present an obstacle to the rise of prices on ee freights during the suspension of canai tation. The competition will doubtless be carried on in summeras well. Thus the Erie Canal will have two routes instead of one to contend with, and will need all the care that can be bestowed upon itin the way of cheapening transportation and keep- ing it in good repair in order to continue it a bies- sing to the State.—Utica (N, Y.)
