NEW YORK MONEY. New Yorx, March(13, MANEY 3 GOLD a matter of justice as the depart- L’ e ment from which it eminatea had becn attacked yesterday in the sen- | N ate. Mr. Blaine sald he thought the secretary of the interior should be heard, but at the sams time the sen- ator from Ohfomust beaware of the fact that he was asking an extraor dinary privilege to have this docu- ment o printed. He reserved to himeelf the right to reply to it be. t, Ps cause the document was in reply to [ J what he said in the senste upon a recent occasion. Mr. SBargent opposed printing of the document in the Recordas a bad precedent, and not because the contents of it was so very creditable to its authors that he feared them. He argued the document was made up from statements of spies who followed men into their places of business and reported their conver- sations. He reierred to the action of Congress in abohshing spies in the custom service, and said con- gress then put the stamp of con- demuation upon using Fouche’s method of epies. After some further debate Mr. Matthews read the reply of theseo. retary of the interior as part of his remarks. The communication hav- ing been read, Mr. Blaine spoke at length on the sction of the secreta- Ty of the interlor. He said the sec- retary did not happen to be a native of this country. He could not help that, and he (Blsiue) did not men- tion' it as & reproach to him. He was born in the kingdom of Prussia, which was 15,000 square miles Jess in extent than Montana, d the secretary, perhsps, with the instinet of his boykood, applied the lapd laws of Prussia to Montans, and not the land laws which have peen used in sottling the United States. The Becreiary of the Interior forgot the mugnitude of our country, although he was charged with admiuistra- tion of that deparfmebt, which he should study carefully, and that the one dollar per acre stumpage exact- ed by him from the people of Mon- tana was excessive. The wood land ‘within sight of the spire of Trinity Church, New York City, would pot bring that stumpage which the secretary of the inte- rlor demanded of the people of Montana. It was a thing conceded Northwestern. T T e M———— Rook Trland e st.

This new departure is oased upon the decision of the United States Supreme Court in the Oaage land case. The court held that the road was not entitled to land indemnity in the lace of lands disposed of by the United Btates prior to the grant. This decision changes the previous practice in the land officc, and | greatly reduces the grants to many roads. The land office is now read- Justing the grauts to conform to this decision. Four western roads have been readjusted. The Wiscon- sin Central has already received 41,800 acres more than it is entitled to, and its grant is reduced from 750,000 acres to 587,000. The Hast- ings and Dakota road,in Minnesota, is reduced from 1,251,141 acres to 745,538, The readjustment will proceed until all reductions are mads, MGARRAHAN. Nearly every public man now here has during the day denied in poeitive terms all improper connec- tion with the McGarraham claim, and tbe latter still persists that the pretended stock list submitted by the counsel of the New Idria Com- pany is bogus, and some of the proofs he submits seem to prove his assertion so far as several of the names are concerned. His letters, however, haye killed his case be. yond redemption, and the general hope now is that the investigation will enable him to expose the New Idria Company and their part in lobbying operations here.

They state that the utmost limits of ita cpera- tion would be in the cities where the money order system is in vogue and, therefore, would meet the re- quirements and interests of but a very small portion of the popula- tiotl. The fisheriés question, when the subject of an appropriation to meet award comes fairly before Congfess, will lead to a controversy protracted and determined in Cougress, as well as in administration circles. The award is regarded as excessive, and while there is no disposition on the part of the government to avoid an honorable settlement, thers is Hkely to be a very thoroagh ventilation of the circumstances and irregularities attending the organization and de liberations of the Gommiesion, which may make its decision not as cred- itable as might be desired. —————— The_First Dotlar, Philade phia Spocial to Chisago Tribune. There had been no announcement of the trme for beginning the coin- age of the new silver dollars at the mint, so it was by accident that your correspondent, dropping in_at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, was the only press representative there to see the first of the new coinage made. The dies were finished soon after noon. and the first pair was placed in the largest coining ma- chine, used for the double eagles.

HAYES STIRS UP THE "ANIMALS AGATN. WASHINGTON, March 13. President Hayes cast another fire- brand into the senate to-day, in the nomination of Jobn W. Hoyt, of Wisconsiu, to be governor of Wyo- ming. This was unexpected to the Wiscensin senators, as they had never urged Hoyt's name in con- nection with the governorship of Wyoming territory. ‘they bad en- dorsed him some time go, and ad- vocated his appolnted to & gover- norship of one of the territories. Had they been given preference in the matter they would have urged anything but Wyoming, for the rea- son that Gov. 'Lhayer's term has uot yet_expired, and his removal will undoubtedly raise opposition to Hoyt's confirmation that would not otherwice bo the case. # Goy. Thayer, present occupant of the gubernatorial chair of Wyom- He sarved from that swate and is strongly backed by the biggest element known in his own state. No reason is agsignea for his removal, but, ta- ken in connection with the facts developed in the recent debate on the bill to amend an act of the Wy oming legislature which practically legislated Judge Peck out of office, Gov.Thayer's removal does not seem so surprising. It will be remembered Be:ator Davis, when dilating upon the unparalleled monstrosity of that legislative sct in virtually defying the President of the United Stafes by voting his sppointee out of office, said that he was surprised at the governor of Wyoming for signing the act referred to, and if he (Davis) was President of the United States, he wouid settie that governor in five minutes. Presidext Hayes seems to have acted upon this suggestion, and has made it an excuse for oust- ing one of Grant’s appointees. The extreme Western Senators, and especially Benators Paddock, Teller, and Baunders swear eternal ven reance on Haye=. Paddock says that when the time comes he will make the wolkin ring with his objections to Hoyt, and be. fore he gets through Le proposes to dish upa few passing thoughts as to what he thinks of Senator Davis. He says that no man, not excepting Benator Davis, would have acted otherwise than did Gov. Thayer in signing that bill; that it was the unanimous act of the legislature, which was largely democratic in both houses, and to have -vetoed it would’ bave been foolnardy, more especially from the fact that public clamor was loud on all sides for Judge Peck’s removal. This YIELDING Te PUBLIC CLAMOR against his conviction, or against that respect which a governor of a “Territory, who is a federal appoin- tee, ought to have for the President und Benate, is just what Benator Davis objected to.

On the other hand, Senator Cameron 8ys he Is & first-rate man and ought not to be rejected. - Tt must not b forgotton that it is the _duty of the district at the an- nual meeting to vote a tax sufficient to pay interest on all outstanding Londs, aud this tax should be re yorted to the county clerk with tho other levies. ‘This report must be made by the toard, and signed officially. e director should make his re- port to the county supermtendent within ten_days after the annual meeting.
