Senator Butler Intorviod. His OPINIONS ON FINANCE. "I judge from what you havo said thot tho (mancini question will not occupy BO important a position in tho approaching campaign ns thc political questions to which you have refcrrcd'i" "I do not think so. In my judgment the lladicals committed n great party Mun rder in not forcing tho financial question -upon tho Democrats, instead uf permitting tho Democrats to compel thom to meet issuos whioh they (tho Democrats) mndo on .the usc of troops at tho pulls,' nnd tho 'deputy marshals,' 'supervisors,' 'test oath,' i OvO., &o. True, thc Republicans were di vided on financial questions as well U3 the Democrats, but not so much PO, and if I hey had forced the tight on that issue at tho beginning of tho extra session, ond kept il up, the Dcmocruts of the East nnd West might havo been divided; but they did not do so, and the opportunity h?3 passed. J think thc differences of opinion among Democrats, on thc silver question (for that is now about the only financial matter upon whioh there is a dinVrcnco of opinion,) itt moto apparent than real, uud I hope and believe i li n t before the Presidential ou n vase opens all diff?rences will disappear and tho Democrats will be solid to go into thc light on thc consolidation doctrines of tho Radi c?is. I do not understand cither wing of tho Democratic party to bc opposed to silver nor to its equalization with gold." "What then is tho point of difference in tho Democratic parly on tho silver ques tion!". "As I said awhile ago, I think the diffe rence is moro uppureut than real. Nobody objects to silver as ti currency, and to its bciug made equal with gold, but tho ques tion is how this is to bo accomplished One set of Democrats, more notably thoso w..o favored tho 'Warner Silver Dill,' ns it was originally introduced, think that thc un? limited freo coi migo of silver by tho govern ment is tho best way to bring about thc equality-that is to say, if you havo 5520,000 worth of silver bullion, which is worth in reality but eighty-five cents in thc dollar of 412j grains, you shall bo allowed to carry thc bullion to u United States mint and hnvo it coined into standard silver dollars, so that tho moment tho Government stamp is put upon it that which was intrin sically worth but eighty- live cents becomes by this artificial appliance worth ono hun dred cenls. Ou tho other hand, there arc those who think that silver having boon fully remonetized and invested % with un limited legal tender power, it is best to limit its coinage for tho prcscut, nt least, and gradually rcstoro its equality to gold. They think that tho two metals if let alono, ia their present relations, will readjust themselves to each other, and to tho busi ness of tho country with, perhaps, such modifications as Irado and commercial intorcst and lime will dictate and justify. This is tho leading difference, only as to thc means to accomplish tho same result, nod I agree with those? who hold tho latter opin ions, it is a very difficult, complicated subject, one of tho mo*? difficult in govern mental science, is this question of lina nee, otfd very few men iu tho world understand it-, at least, in tho application of its princi ples to government. And yet you hear moo talk about it ns glibly and confidently os if it yyaro ns sim plo as 'Tho Rule of Troc' I confess, very frankly, that thero aro many branches of tho subject that I do not fully comprehend and grasp, but I. prefer in this,, us-upon all other questions, to toko a conservative position, and in tho moantimo givo tho subject oandid conside ration and tho excroiso of my best judg ment." "lu what rcspcot do thc advocntcs of tho unlimited freo coinage of ?iver olaim that it will benefioiol to tho people?" "Why, they say it will moko money more abundant, stimulate business, enhance prices, employ labor, und in that way roliovo tho pressure of tho times." "ls it your opinion thnt it would havo that effeott"' "No, not to any appreoioblo degree. I boin.ve that business will revive moro surely perhaps somowhot moro slowly, and roach a normal condition more certainly-that prosperity will bo restored in all parts of tho country upon a moro substantial and ho?lthful and "pormaticut basis if tho finances should bo lot alone, (save one change in tho systoui which I could suggest,) than by incessant tinkering, and tho prepa ration of ?uanoial nostrums at oaoh Benison of Congress. Monoy is tho most timid and conservativo of all tho olomcuts and instru mentalities of businoss, ami requires to bo placed upon a firm and certain basis, and then to dischargo its proper funotions. Tlioso who aro demanding moro money, an inflation of the eurronoy by thc unlimited freo coinago of silver, tho issuo of more greenbacks and such temporary make-shifts will not accomplish what they desire, until ono and only one very important change shall havo been mado in our financial system. In tho silver war both parties aro fighting at a shadow, and I should bo tempted to road tho ?Comedy of Errors' to some of roy political friends, who havo gone daft on tho silver question, if I wcro not afraid of giv iug oflonco." "What is tho chango Which you would suggest ?" "Abolish thc national banks and repeal thc ten per cent, tax on thc issues of Stn la banks, and thc financial problem will bc solved, iu my judgment." "lu what way would that benefit tho country;" "In moro ways than I shall bo able to indicate at present. Ono thing, I thiuk, is clearly demonstrable, that tho unlimited freo coinage of silver will benefit no class of peoplo other than tho bullion speculators. They would make fifteen cents on thc dollar at tho present value of bullion on every dollar coined, and men like you and I would have that fifteen cents, to pay, and in an operation ot' two or three hundred mil lion'? it would amount lo something. .Silver bullion from alt parts of tho world would flood tho mints. Every government with a surplus would uuloud on us, (iiivo out gold, derange business, and whero would it go when coined? Into yours and my pockets? No at all, but into national banks in commercial centres. And how aro wo to get it out? No easier than wo can now got monoy, and no moro readily if there were two thousand millions of silver coined in tho next six months. Abolish the national banks, so that monoy can bo moro properly distributed for tho benefit of tho whole people, and then tho loosening of thc flood gates of silver coin would not do so much damage. l>ub turning in an increased volume into tho old cur rou bs would not benefit tho people at large. You must first cradioato tho evils of tho system, before attempting to build it up to a healthy, vigorous growth, by administering stimu lants," "Who In Congress is rcnponsiblo for thc agitation of tho silver question?" "Tho Western men, in n great measure They aro moro hugely in debt, 1 bclicvo than wo oro, and thc shrinkage of values and reduced price of their products, (c result which succeeds thc feverish, specula live character of values after a great wai such os ours, os inevitably ar? day followt night-wo havo felt it keenly at the South,' has diminished their capacity to pay, nm they naturally clamor for Something foi relief. Thcro is great force in their appeals but in my humble opinion, they arc no pursuing tho effective oourso to ovcrcoim tho diificultics which environ us. You sec, it is so plausible to say, as most of tho. free coinago men do say, 'that silver has bcci dogradod, and ought to bo restored to tin position it oooupiod boforo tho war,' 'tba it is tho "people's money and they waut it, 'that it was tho dollar of our daddies,' &e. &c. Now this all scorns very lair and rcas unable and proper, but those who claim thii for silver, forget, or overlook, tho chaugoi condition in tho commercial world. In tin ten years intervening between tho year 1852 und 1SG2, tho annual average plo Unction of silver throughout tho world wa estimated to bu only fiom forty to forty-fiv millions of dollaiu, uud very littlo of tlii from American mines, Whereas in 187? tho produotiotf throughout tho world i estimated to havo hoon seven ty-ii vc million of dolluis. Silver .has uoprcoiutcd mud moro than degraded in vulue, owing to th largo ndditioual supply produced by th American mines in rOo-cnt ycaro. Th entire revenues of India ero POW collecte in silver, and 1 commend to tho extrem silver men tho experience of tho India Government of Into years by reason of it Sho lost in exchanges in ono year ?l?,O0C 000, bcoouso of her having nothing bu silver. Besides Germany has demonetize silver. Tho Latin Union has suspended il coinage Engluud, tho great filiation ocntrc of tho word, adopted tho gold stan dard years ugo, and sho is to day tho riche: nation in tho world, with all countrios pay iug tributo to' lier sagacity and supcric iiuuncial foresight. Moreover, inter-oom municatiou in tho commcroiul woiM rd quired weeks and months, when oui minutes and hours uro now required sine the adoption ol' the submarino tclcgrapl Tho balance of trudo iu our favor for tli last fisoal year amounted to somo two hun drcd and fifty odd millions. I speak froi memory. Suppose this amount could t paid in silver at cighty-fivo couts in tl dollar-instead of gold-and you will btu Bomo idea of our immense losses. If thoi balances should bo paid ill silver, at i present value, instead of gold, our loss* would bo moro than thirty million dollar So that wo havo not tho same ennditions i when silver was ?Vie dollar of our daddies and it is much easier to talk about rcstorie it to itu former relation to gold und to tl business world, than to accomplish it. Ki tho lifo of mc, I do not comprehend ho noy man who has a pound of cotton to soil oou dcsiro uuy other than a gold standard. Tho pi ?cu of cotton iu this country ls rogu ! lated by tho price, tn ffold, in Liverpool. Why then should I bo required to tn ko for [ my cotton n ourronoy which is depreciated in England ns well as America, when I ought to get tho best prioo in tho best currency? Let us seo how it affects tho chief market crop of tho South. Tho va I ti o of unmanujaclurcd cotton cxportod by us for tho tou mouths onding April 80, 1870, wus ono hundred and fifty million eight hundred and eovcoty nine thousand thrco and forty fivo dollars, (8150,870,845). Run fifteen cents iu tho dollar through that sum, ("and I merely adopt that to represent tho depreciation of silver, by way of illustration -it may bo more or less) and tho measure of loss to tho cotton producer may bo op prosimatcdi This, of course would not happou if wo could control tho prioo o? silver in Fnglaud, France, Germany oud other countries with which wo havo com mercial transactions, hut wc cannot make eighty live coats' worth of 6ilvcr worth ooo hundred oonts iu Englnud by placing thc government stamp on it os wc oati at homo, for when it gets to Kn gland it rates sim pl j as bullion, and passes there only ut its bul lion value." ?.Do ? understand you, then, to favor t bioglo standard of coin currency?" "No, not absolutely; I think that il I was wiso and proper to remonetize silva I and to limit its coiunge, as I believe, wit! proper limitations upon tho coinage of silvci to bo regulated by circumstances, tho tw< co us might bo made to supplement ead Other, nod op?rale harmoniously. Whereat thc unlimited free coinage of silver, at malters now aland, wou'd have tho effect o driving gold out of ibo country and entail iug grout losses upon our people, as Phavi endeavored lo illustrato by tho losses er cotton alone," "Recurring to your suggestion about th* National Hanks, would not their ubolitior tend to unsettle business und produce confu sion in monetary circles?" "I thiuk not. The repeal of tho provi sion of tho National Hank Aot, which im poses a tax of 10 per cent, on Stato issues would settle tho troubles, at least so far a; wo in tho South aro concerned. Tho com paratively small amount of Capital in vesta in South Carolina iu National banks wouh bo trunnterrcd, no doubt, to institution organized under State authority nu bank of issue, and become much more satisfactor; to investors in bank stock. Wo shouh then have a currency answering oil th purposes of our people iu their ousincs operations under State banks before th war, and would bo all tho bettor by beim kept ut homo if such should bo its fate Our merchants and business tuen wouh have no difficulty in arranging their ex changes with New York, Baltimore, c oven with Europe, as they had nono bofor tho war. Thc government issues of green backs would remain in circulation. I hav no doubt of the ability of tho govcrntnon to maintain resumption upon tho presen amount in circulation, or perhaps on larger amount, in tho progress of the de velopment of our increased 6pecio poyin onpacity. Tho reopening of Stato bank would aid resumption oud supply tho dc mund for moro currency, bcoauso it won! bc moro generally and equitably distributo thou is tho case with thc National bau currency." Against Mormonism. TUB ADMINISTRATION TAKES A DECIDE STAND-NO MOUE MOUMON EMIOUANTS. WASIIINOTON, August 8.-Tho Mor mon question, like u great uiuny other c our political nut! social questions, has riso to international importuueo. Tho lette prepared by tho Secretory of Stato, pro testing against tho condina uf tho Govern incuts of Groat Britain, Germany, Norway Sweden and Dcuinurk in continuing t allow their subjects to leave for tho Uuito States as Mormon emigrants, was road t tho Cabinet meeting to-day, and copit sent by to-night's mail to our diplomat! representatives in these countries. Til letter, it is understood, is an energetic prc saltation of thc views of thc Administra tion on tho Mortuou question, and tit determination on its part to mako tho inst tution of polygamy as odious ns poesih under existing laws, it begins by sottio forth that under our statutes bigamy is orimo in any ono of tho Territories of til United States, and that mon or women dei tined for Utah go thoro with tho intcntic and for tho avowed purpose of violating th law. Tho lotter then rooitcs that by tl uct of July 1, 1802, every person having husband or wife living, who marries anothc whether marriott or single, in a Torritory i other plane over which tho United States hal exclusivo jurisdiction is guilty of bigam und shall bc punished by n lino of not mo than 8500 and by imprisonment for a ter of not moro than live years, and that und' ibis law, which has becu declared oonr.titt tiotial by tho United Slates Sapromo Cou upon II test caso, George Reynolds, a eiti/.t of Utah and a mouibor of tho Merme Church was convicted of bigamy, and now 'serving a sentence of two years iu tl Ulah Penitentiary; and further thut it the purpose of this Government to pros? cute every person in tho Territory again whom evidence eau bo obtained cf viola tic of this law. Our ministers aro instructed to lay copy of tho letter boforo tho govcrntnon to which thoy uro accredited without dela and to represent io tho moat friendly man ner to theso governments that it Would thcrcforo bo on aot of justice toward their subjeota if tho latter could bo disuaded from accepting tho inducement!* hold ottt by tho missionary agents of tb? Mormon Church to settle in Utah. lieferenoo is nott mudo to existing obli gations on the part of tho governments of thdsO countries not to allow persons to depart from their Jurisdiction for tho United States Who aro knowtl to havo criminal in tentions, and further explaining that all who como to this country for tho purposo of afliliatihg with tho Mormon Church do so with tho avowed iotention of becoming criminals and subjecting themselves to thc penalties of tho criminal laws. Therefore tho United States will consider it a friendly act on the part of tho governments of theso nations if they will also regard tho matter in this light. Attention is called to tho largo number.of women who aro induced to becomo omigrants, and who therefore aid and abet tho crime of bigamy, and to tho principles of tho Mormon Church, which requires u plurality of wives. Our minis ters arc instructed to call upon our consuls in theso countries without delay to assist them iu gaining information as to tho mao*; ncr in which tho ranks of tho Mormon Church aro recruited, and to forward thc information as speedily os possible to Wash ington. A member of tho Cabinet said to?night that tho administration did not now con sider Mormon emigrants os any more enti tled to respect than so many persons who had been convicted of felony, and that tho purposo of scuding tho letter is to cnutiou tho pcoplo of tho countries where this class of emigrants is mostly inado up, and to waru them what they moy expect if they go to Utah. "If this friendly request of tho Govern ment is disregarded, then," continued the Cabinet officer, "wo will bo in a position where weean refuse them entrance into our pori.-, and forbid vessels landing them. It is hardly possible that our consuls will uot bo able to ascertain ovcry utteiupt made to ship this class of pcoplo to tho United States, and tho Administration recognizes tho responsibility of tho duty which tho law imposes upon it to prevent lawless pco plo from landing on our territory." [From tho Boston Sunday Herald ] Mineral VVoaltk of tho Blue Ridge Country. Ono of tho wide-awake men of tho doy is Col. Chas. W. Jeeks, of this city, whom I first met a day or two ago. He tells mo that thero is unsurpassed mineral wealth io the Bluo Ridge country. "It is a genuine terni incognita" bc said, and added: "tho only scientific man who eyer made a thor ough exploration of tho country was Prof. Groy, of Harvard, who went ibero botuuiz<< ing. Colorado, Nev?du, Montuna and Idaho have ull boen tramped over, and yet, within throe days of Boston, is a country almost unheard of, certainly quito unknown, und offering great inducements for dbe prospector." Col. Jeoks gavo ma some how ideas ie?< garding tho mineralogy of thc Bluo Ridgi country, which contains gold, silver ooppor, iron, mioa, marblo, corundum, por eelain clay, soapstone, etc. Some of these minerals aro being profitably worked. Tin discovery of corundum in this region it quito u mineralogical romanee. Col. Jcuks, whilo roaming nod prospecting through thc mou u ta ins, discovered unmistakable indica tions of this remarkable mineral in a North Caroline mine, whero tho corundum carry ing veins show the mineral in massive and crystal fornis. ALI, TH K OK M 8 OF THE OltlENl1, This mineral is remarkable for tho gem. which it can ?es. Col Jcoks says that ir this Blue Ridge mino thero have beer found the oriental sapphire, ruby, asteria emerald, topaz,, amethyst, girnnol, chatayant and white or colorless sapphire, this lusi often used in place of the diamond'. "Here," suid the colonel, taking o lumr of mineral as big us ono's fist from his table .'hero is embedded a ruby, and al the oilier end is a sopp'.iire. If theso coule bc got out perfect, they would bo worth t good sum of money." Tho corundum eme raid is thu rarest of all gems. Tho eme rald of cotnuierco, from Peru and Bogota is softer. Prof. Warrington W. Smythe, of tili London Sohool of Mines, says of this Nortl Carolina mino, that, wcro it his property, le should confidently expect to take out valua ble gems. Ono corundum gem, now it Europo, is valued at 8300,000. VAI.UK OF THE DISCOVERY. But, facinating aa is always ouylhiiq regarding gems, thc real value of thu oo rundum in tho Blue Bidgo conntry lies it its applicability to thc arts. It is uext t< tho diamond in hardness aud cutting power Tho Egyptians, Bays Col. Jcuks, aro sup posed to have employed it in outting bioro glyphio inscriptions on their obelisks. Nu polcon I brought on obelisk from tho bank of tho Nile, and placed it in tho Place d la Concordo. In thc endeavor to iuscrib tho dato of its removal upon its beso th Ki eneh work mon destroyed tu: vorn I sots o tho best Bteol tools, and oven thou failed i their purposo. And yot this obelisk wa lottorod ult over 3,000 year? ago by Egyptia workinon. A Worcester mau, P. Bi Norton; ha invented a wheel, which in made of uuurl pUl'O corundum. It outs oust-drou, soul steel, ohillcd iron, and any ulloy cusily. Tho voltio of tho metal iu the arts is inestimable. Hitherto, it hod boon brought ia small quantities from Ceylon abd liin doostan, where it was gathered in river beda abd mountain ravines. It hos never been mined for much beneath the surface All that hus como to this oountry has been in the sh apo of small crystals. European sci entists were astonished when Col. jenks showed them in London abel St. Peters burg thrj massive specimens from tho Blue Ridge. Amherst College has a crystal from thc niuo Ridgo minb five times larger than any corundum crystal yet uncovered in tho world, lt weighs 812 pounds; ot ono end is a sapphire and a ruby ot tho other. Ono of these days all America may bo getting its precious stones from tho Bluo Ridge. Tho colonel is quito an enthusiast on thc Blue Ridge country, aud regarding a proposed development Ibero of a ucw wool product. White Africans. Major Pinto, tho Portuguese explorer, who hos just crossed Africa, from Bcnguella Southwestward to Natal, describes a race of white men found by him uoar tho head* quarters of thc Zambezi. Ho says: "1 ono doy noticed that ono of tho carriers was a white man. Ho belonged to a race entirely unknown up to thc present doy. Aegroat while people exist in South Africa. Their name is Cusscqucr; they are whiter' than thc Caucasians, and iu plaou of hair have their heads covered with small tufts of very short wool. Their check bones aro prominent, their eyes Uko those of tho Chinese. The men aro extremely robust. When they discharge au arrow ut an olc plant tho shaft is completely buried in tho animal's body. They live ou roots and tho chase, aud it is only when these supplies fail that they hold any relations tvith tho neighboring race, thc Ambuclus, from whom they obtain food in exchongo fot ivory? Tho Casscqucrcs sro au entirely nomadic rooo, and never sleep two nights iu tho sumo encampment. Tiley oro the only people in Africa that do not cook their food in pots. They wander about, in groups of from four to six families, over all tho terri tory lying betwecu thc Cuchi and Cubango, lt would socm that from a crossing of tho Casscqucrcs with thc negroes of other raoea sprang thoso mulattoes of thc South) whom the b/nglish cali Bushmen. Tho latter, however, are better off than the Cossequeres and use pots in cooking their food whilo their dispositions arc good) though quite opposed to civilisation. Industrial Distress in Englandi Press reports from London state that la tho middle of July, there were ia Burnley 5,795 looms idlo out of 33,000, and 307, 870 spindles out of 000,000. In tho Blackburn district 11,300 looms were idlo of 62,000; 84,000 spindles were work ing on short time, and 48,000 had stopped altogothet. In tho Chorley district 1,000 looms, owned by two firms, wcro working on short time. Nearly twenty other firms were funning part of their machinery on short time; several had stopped theirs ea tirely. In tho Bury district both tho wool len nod cotton trades wore very dopressed. Tho averogo time of working in tho woollen ma IInfactories Wan only four days out of thu week, and 400,000 spindles ood 3,720 looma wcro working on short time In Stockport tho prospect, especially in tho weaving department, was said to bc almost hopolcsa. It was computed that only OOO, 000 spindles and 800 looms were working, against 1,195,000 spindles and 7,900 ioouis1 five yeats ago. In Roohdale, it was said, only live mills wcro working full time; 500 houses Ibero wero tcnantlcs3. Tho Mon? chester Guardian gave statistics to show that tho condition of trade in thc Rossen dalo district, where tho machinery of tho' factories is adapted for Indian cotton, was even worse. Out of 100 mills only six and these comparatively insignificant-wcro working full time; thirty five wcro entirely stopped, and tho remainder wcro only run ning on an average three und a quarter dayo a week.
