SATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 1859:.; To the People of the United Stages.- [From the National IntalHgenoer, of Thnraday.J 1 _ ( •' Our attontion has very recently-been the following letter from Balt Jones, Esq , on<f of tho delegates from Johnson county, in the Terri tory ot'Kansas, to tho Convention whioh framed tho Lecompton Constitution, one of its mdsfc arildpt advoontes, and also, as will appear from his own. statomont and tho returns, onoof tho judges of election of October, 1857, whole name purports to bo aflixed to tho notorious pretended returns fcpih tho prooinct of Oxford, in said oounty: J; . j ■ St. Loi/is, (M 0.,) November 23, 1858 V-1 To the Editoh op titr Demochat : Upon tbert- 1 turns of on election hold at tho Oxford precinct, In Johnson county, Kansas, in October, 1857,.my name appeared as one of the judges. I never put it there, nor consentod that any ono oho should do so. Tho first T know of it was from the’ Lawronco Ilf raid of t Freedom. I might hAVe made this statement soener, nnd probably 6houl<|, but for the persuasion of frionds nnd tho cxoifce* ! mont whioh prevailed at the timo of the tran«ro- I tlon. I did not cliooso to oxpose the - affair voluntary at the time; though I should n<ft have hesitated to have dono so if X hod beat ; called on by any tribunal having jurisdiction .sfj the mattor. In September last I oommunicated above statement, in substance, to tho St. Loabr'l Republican, from Westport, Missouri , to.u&p here to ascertain whether it had been reooive& but was nn&blo to do so. Upon calling upon of the editors of that paper this morning, he d|< clinod to publish any statements in the I therefore submit this statement in the erat, and trust it will receive, a plaoe in,its umns. Ido this in justioo, not only to myself* but to tho country. lam aware that my is blamoable, but would, nevertheless, have oase proporly understood. What tho threats and? cursos of my enemies in Kansas fail to obtaurjd' times of groat excitement. I now voluntarily gVffi. lam not dispoced to implicate others, 1 and not do s«> exoept it be in self-defence. ' ■ By publishing tho above you will do mo a favor. . /-jifc Itospcctfully, Batt Josis^ffb The extraordinary character of this lotter rally excited grave doubts as to its autbontiess|r but it is now ascertained and admitted to be geircfc' iao. • •;% It will be remembered that the roturns fromtb# Oxford preoinet were rejected by our joint proollfi,' mation, issued at Lecomptonon the 19th of ,b<w?; ; ber,1857 For this official aot wo were violently 4fe nounoed by tho groat body of that pbrtion of pross of the United States which sustained tho Looompton Constitution ; -an&Hftlef genuino character of the rojocted returns hemently assorted] on that occasion] both In. find: out of tho Territory. | Reference to the proolam&tion will show i these return a were rejected because they w'dte' | clearly illegal and invalid undor tho laws, and also bocauso they were, doubt, simulated and fictitious.” The legal hop jootlons stated were dear and obvious. Jraraf those roturns woro not authenticated by tbo.diiw£ of any one of tho judges or dorks, lawß of Kansas required such an oath to bo by alt of them as an imperative prerequisite isft£ valid election roturn. Scoond, the paper prpseqwfr to us and rejected wm not one of the original books requirod by tho law, bat a mere -statetfiSt; of tbo votes piotondcd to bo given. In our olamatlon we distinctly disavowed any auth(ra|j| to go behind tho returns, for thopurposoof judg[n£| the qualifications of voters,'or of purging the or of rejecting rcturns'Tormal ami valid on faao, for any reason short of actual forgery. ''«J?4 dor our respective oaths of oflioo wo might hasf*j; been constrained to reject the Oxford paporstf#- idfigal and invalid upon their face, oven If, iij: other rcepcots, they had boen correot and genuiz||V The “simulated and fictitious” these pretended returns was evident to us tipra iho (ace of tho papers; yet we doomed it in so gravo a matter, to visit tho Oxford preciatPpl and we thero ascertained, with positiye that of tho sixteen hundred and twehty*j4^^ : votes purporting to hayo been given, •had in-fact .been, .polled, VaMWuffiij K «noH.' Wo knew half dozen house?,' in a -preefnot'of. most' mongro population, could not have glvon ijCiS votes; and'our averments in ibat'rfcspect’are: conclusively proved by a censuv, since taken by authority of the Legislature, showing tl*e entire nurubor of votors in the precipot to have been .but forty-throo. At tho cleotlon hold in August last, undor tho auspices of tho present Federal Admin istration,'when tho whole vote given in tho Terri tory was larger by many thousands than at any preceding period, the .whole return from Oxford was bat 29, instend of I,G2S, as when rejeoted by us. A similar Insignificant result was exhibited at tho eleotlon in October, 1858, And, finally, to roinovo all doubt, one of the most aotive partisans of tho Lecompton Constitution, one of tho judges whoso namp purported to bo signed to tho pre tended letumß of October, 1807, after a silence of inoro than a year, now admits tho forgery and de clares that bis nnine was affixed to tho paper nei thcr by himself nor by his authority. • Tho calumniators who denounced us for reject ing these acknowledged counterfoils must now oithor retract tbo assaults made upon this ground, or by adherence to their attacks, or oven by silent aoquicsoonco, bocoino themselves accomplices in this nefarious transaction. Upon the face of tbo Lecompton Constitution it appears that this Oxford forgery was incorporated into, and mado a part of, that instrumont, by tbo legislative apportionment avowedly based upon it; while tbo schedule of tbo same Instrument prepared all tbo machinery, and provided all tbo weuns and appliances for repoating and multiply* ing similar frauds under th© proposed Btato orga nization, all 6f which wero subsequently provod to have been efficient for Iho purpose designed, by the successful perpotration of numerous gigantic frauds in tbo pseudo-Blato elections of and Dooomber following. From information reoently obtained (of wblch at th© Umo vr© hud no suspioionl wo do not now doubt that if tho committee of tbo House of Representatives had made tho investigation ordored by the resolution of tho Inst session, they would bavo disclosed tbo fact that the oon* fius and registration, purporting to haro been takon in tho Rftoon counties out of thirty eight which formed the sol© basis of representa- tion in the Convention, wore lorgoly contami nated with fraudulent and fiotltious names, de signed to givo control of the Convention to tho samo parties who wero tho authors, of the sub sequent frauds at Oxford, Shawnee, Dolawarc, Kickapoo, and olsewhoro, perpetrated under tbo Constitution il&olf. Indeed, th© failure ofsolaTgo a number of these registered voiors to exeroise tho elective franohi.o iu £0 many succocding elections, at which inuoh larger votes wore glvon, conclu sively confirms tbo information statod, that ainrgo proportion of tho names returned in tfcopretended registry, like those of Oxford and other places, was aimulatod and fiotitious. Now that thcßo truths bavo boon dearly do voloped, all candid men must admit thattho Le compton instrument, falsely called a Cunsiitutton, was itsoif rooking with fraud and forgery, and. in tho languago of tho recent speech of Senator Hammond, of South Carolina, “ ought to have boon kioked out of Congress.” What that SonatOT has already bad tho courage to oonccdo, wo can not doubt, will soon bo the sontimont of tbo whole country; and “the sober second thought” of tho peoplo of tbo South will eventually unite with the almost unanimous verdict of tho people of th© North and West in stamping this basocouater f©\t and imposturo with th© brand of infamy and exeoratiou. Sinco tho olection of August last, hold in Kan sas undor the auspices of the present Federal Ad ministration, when iho Locompton Constitution wasoondomnod by a majority of noar!y ( ten thou sand, wo presumo no man will assort that that In stTumont over was the choice of tho people of Kan sas; or that it was our duty to bo silent, with a full personal knowledgo of nil tho facts, when so atrocious a usurpation was attempted. Ilowovor much wo may regrot the appnront sanction given by tho South to these proceedings, wo thiqk the censuro should fall upon those who, with ample information on tho subject, tnd against light and Unowlodge, persistod in urging upon Congress tho adoption of tbis'inslrjimout; nor havo wo ever doubted that, with nr «qual know ledge of ail tho facta, tho South wield havo re jected tho Locompton Constitution with scorn and indignution. The imposing charaoler of tho re commendations with which it was presented to Congress docoivcd and misled ranay honorable raembors of both houges, who *now upon better information, would doubtloss unite with Sonutor Hammond in giving that instrument an ignomi nious rejection from the halls of legslation. Wo venture to hope that the biter vitupera tion with wbioh wo have boon nsiailed will be considered a sufficient oxcuse for this notice of facts lately developed, coming out at last to via dloato tho truth whiobhasbeen parially crushed, and to condemn tho wrong which h’»s boon accom plished or attempted. 11.

Cheap Bibles* “ How long havo you had this book ? - “ Why did you not bring itto us before ?” Sueh are said to havo been the intorrogatorios of the Feojoo Islanders addressed to the missionaries on roceiving the Bible. In India and Japan the natives, in many oases, on receiving and having unfoldod to thorn tho Scriptures, oxpross their sur prise and regret that Christians should so long have boon in possession of tho Book, in which alone is found the way to etornat life, without' bringing it to tho perishing of heathen lands. To tho Christian world theso foots nro suggestive. They almost demonstrate tho lessening of tho eost of the Bible to be the most efficient help in evan gelizing the world ; by whioh we moan, instruct ing all men in tho Gospel, and not in any particu lar oreed. That cheap Bibles aro important to insure their widest circulation is woll established in a few his-' tone facts. For example, it has boon ascertained that in one of our American cities—Chicogo—out of over thirteen thousand .families visited, nearly four thousand wero without tho Bibio, thoir cost being mainly given in excuse; and this, too, when the humblest laborer oan buy at least two Bibles for the sum ot a single day’s wngos. In tho thir teenth century; the price of a Bible, with a com mentary, fairly written, wo are told, was thirty pounds ; and that at a time when tho wages of a laboring naon were suoh that fifteen years of steady toil would have bcon required to cam the price of a single oopy of the Soored Volume! The progress thus mado within the last six oenturioa toward the universal circulation of Revealed Truth is marvellous; yet, as there aro still millions to whom the Gospel message has never been sent, the cheapness of its production becomes a matter of tba greatest Importance. Certainly, if tho man who touches the world how to make two blades of grass grow where ona grew before, may bo called a bonefaotor to his raco, the man is no less so who suocoeds in producing two Bibles for what ono oost beforo. * . It is a ploasing rominlscenoo that among tlio first • nota of tho Amcrloan Oongross tv as the adoption of ~a resolution whioh had for its object tho .wider cir > filiation of tho Saored Sorlptures. Toward the close of the Revolutionary war, a memorial was ; sent to Congress by Mr. Aitkon, a printor in this city, asking tho consent and encouragement of ; that body to his undertaking to print an edition of , tho Bible, in oomplianco with whioh tho following ■ resolution was adopted: “ That the United Statoß, in Congress assembled, highly approve tho pious •and laudablo undertaking of Mr. Aitkon, as sub servient to tho interests of religion ns well as an Jnstanco of tho progress of arts in this country, and being satisfied front the report of tho committee ‘of ,Ws oaro and accuraoy in tho execution of tho work, they reconhnond this odition of thoßibto to tbo inhabitants of tho United States, and hereby ■authorize him to publish this recommendation in '■the maimer he shall think propor. ; .'A Pheasant and Trovitable Resort —Wo Jhave heretofore omitted to speak in detail of tho Thoms of the Young Men's Christian Association, now located in the seoond story of the largo brown front building, Nos. lOOfiandlOlf Chestnut street.

It was stated in tho report of last yoar that lm- Srovemcnt bsmds amounting to $144,000 would fall ua April Ist, 1353. These were promptly paid at maturity, by taking the revenue in anticipation of funds to be roaluea from a new loan payable July Ist, 1881.

But, iu order that there should be no possi ble contingency about it, we havo made a con tract with parties of the highest responsibility in tho country to toko, at 9o per cent., whatever ba lance thore may bo, if any rom iining, required to liquidate tho old. It is hardly probable, how ovur, as tbo second sories of improvement bonds does not fall due till May 1.1863, that we Bhalt find it nooossary to place any more than has now been disposod ot\ This road, after many revorsos and struggles, may now confidently be rankod among the roads that are cortain to pay dividends of six per cone, annually, with the necessary appropriation to tho sinking fund ond a handsome surplus for contin gencies. Its position Is a strong one, and its strength and onaractor will annually improve, as its ability to mnku dividends and lay up a surplus is more fully demonstrated. Its policy should bo to miiko no larger dividends than it can beoertAln of maintaining, together with tbe appropriation to tbe sinking fund, and also a surplus sufficient to provide for all reasonable emergencies. A proper ty thus managed, and thus productive, must evory year gain in tho confidence’of the public. NEW IRON AND HEW WORK. Within loss than eight years the wholo track between Philadelphia and Baltimore has beon re laid with various kinds of X iron, of both English and Amorioan manufacture. With a view of os- oortaining the average durability of these various hinds, wo have had every bar on the whole road examined by an experienced ’ inspector. There is no question that the raila manufootured in Ehg the early days of railroads, were the bolt that have ever - been laid down; but ns the demand on tins Bide increased, and the prioe diminished by strong competition, the English iron rapidly degenerated, till finally many lots were sent here that were not worth the expense'of laying down. For two or three years we have laid down wholly Amenoon iron, either from the Montour works, or from the establishment of Reeves, Book * 00., weighing fifty pounds per lineal yard, in-* stead of iron of sixty and sixty-five pounds per yard, as formerly. We save in the material, and consequently in first cost, twenty or thirty per oent. The guality and the manufacture of the light iron is , superior to the heavy iron, and thus a more uniform rail is seoured. • This iron has not been laid sufficiently long to enable ns to estimate, with entire aoouracy, Jts durability. A fair, eetitpato of the average durability of tho iron,.based upon the experience of this road, is ten- years, or in other words, we must lay ten miles 1 of new track annually.to keep the road up in astute of entirely roll able ofßoiency. This will require about eight hundred tons of new iron that can how be obtained in exchange for,old, a a diflerence of twenty dollars per ton. The aver age durability of cross-ties is about seven years*’ The track requires, if laid with light iron, ahou,t 35,000 cross-tics per year on our road, and if laid with heavy iron, about.lo,soo peryoqr. These are now bought at an Average of twenty-seven, and a half cents each- The ossfc'of relaying one mile of traok is four hnndrod dollars. Cost of spikes and joint fastenings, castings, and switches, six hun dred dollars. Thecost of these several items per.year would be, at present prices, $30,450. The cost of labor -iv J ust * D B* ditching, inspecting traok, together with all other items not enumetateif above, will be »aboot two bundred and fifty- dollars per mile, or about $25,000 annually. An expenditure, there fore, in labor and hteterials, of $01,450 annually} should keep our traok in a state of high repair and efficiency. _ . • , .» » In the year 1852 the relaying of the entire track between Wilmington and Baltimore was'com-* P‘®ted» Bo that tho year 1853 was commenced with T rail for tho enhre distance between Philadel phia and Baltimore 'The distance botweon Wil* ?L l c T !5 to « Philadelphia was laid down prior t<j 1852. For the last six years, or since the T rail track was completed, there has been expended on tno track an average of $64,210 annually, ora sum, os will be seen from the foregoing, amply sufficient to provide far repairs, depreciations and renewals. / 19,884 70 The other new work finished during the year has boon the abutment of Port Deposit''stohe ai Qr&J's-Ferry bridge, shortening the south span to 90 foot; anew .track scale at Philadelphia for weighing heavy articles, such as loaded cars, loco* ™° tlv cs 5 Ac.; new pit in the engine house at Philadelphia; a new cattle yard at the Bell road, occupying four aores, with a aiderline 1.300 feet long, and ample pens for the accommodation of a large trade; an iron bridge over the deep cut near Gray’s Ferry; thirteen new. oattle.guards, and small oulvoris on different parts of the road: a large culvert of two spans of 11 feet eaoh ; the front of the freight-house at Chester- has been taken downand rebuilt with a .new foundation; a small station house at Holly Oak, with the ne cessary platforms; an additional building for the accommodation of the grain business at Elkton'.

At Perryvillo the old bridge over the railroad has been takon down and replaced by onfc of shorter span. Extensive repairs have been made to the locks on both sides of, the river.. At Havre de Qraoo the old truss bridges ovor the rail road have been rebuilt. Bush and Gunpowder bridgog have 'been carefully examined»and re newed whereyer found at ail defective. Thefdeoks and other wood work on the iron ferry boat have been thoroughly overhauled and renewed when ever found defective. The engine house and ma chine shop at Baltimore, spoken of in the' last re port, have been finished. ’ ' ! 45,814 22 cans and engines,- etc. : Since .out. last report there, have been added to the stock of cars, two eight-wheel baggage cars, two eight-wheel market cars,‘four eight-Wheql freight oars, and two four-wheel road carq, and there have been brosen up, during the same tlmi, as unfit for use, four old passenger cars, and seven freight oars. The engines are in good order, and ample for tho work of the road, for; the present. They, have performed their ■ service the lait vear in a manner that challenges comparison.

NEW RAILROAD CONNECTIONS'. During the lost year the connection to Memphis, by way of Lynchburg, Virginia,has been finished, nod an extenaivo through-ticket system has been devised by the different roads, to go into operation ns soon os the necessary arrangements can be made. This system commences at Now York and Phila delphia andostondsto New Orleans, and all inter mediate points of magnitude. At New Orleans it will connect with California by the Tehnantopoc line, lately opened, and will ultimately command a large travel from that direction It extonds also south to Charleston, South Carolina. Augusta and Atlanta, Georgia, and Montgomery, Alabama. From Charleston it will extend to Havana by stoamcr. Within the coming yoar a railroad from Fer nandina. on tho Atlantic coast of Florida, to Cedar Key, on the Gulf of Mexico, will be finished, which, by being connected with Charleston, by steamer, will form a very desirablo route to Ha vana, to Aspinwall, and ail tho Isthmus crossings, and to Mobile and New Orleans. There Is also & railroad in a state of forwardness from Mont gomery, Alabama, to Pensacola, whioh will com mand a largo Northorn and Southern travel and trade, and whioh will connect with nnr road by way of both Lynchburg, Virginia, and Wilming ton, North Carolina, a portion of the great tide of travel which has hitherto gone seaward, will, by these roads, bo turned upon tho land. As these connections are perfected, and made certain and reliable, and as tho country is developed and Im proved, a large and constant increase of business mvf be safely calculated on. Nothing has been done on tho Pert Deposit Branch Ruilrond this year. The Susquehanna ferry is fully competent for a much larger business than at present. Not ft trip was missed during tho year. . 45,814 00 20,813 97 TIIE CONTRACT SYSTEM. This system 13 still in operation, and continues to work with great satisfaction. It is bolievod that a good deal of the regularity of our train*, and freedomfrom accident, is duo to tho Individual re sponsibility that is brought to boar upon ail tbo departments of sorvice. Tho fact is undisputed, that individual responsibility contributes more to sucoe93 than any other clement in tho business of corporations. The report then proceeds with como general re marks, aqd otoses as follows: Though wo would not advocate any policy which encourages business by doing it at cost, or less than cost, wa would not hesitate to establish, by cost rates of freight to begin with, any now branches of industry on oar lino, which would add to tho population and wealth of the country, dud thus to our future profits Such a lice of policy will often bo tho turning point in deciding the lo cation of large business communities. That rail road which attracts to itself such communities will, in the end, bo a far more successful enter prise than tho ono whioh refuses all business that does notcoweup to an arbitrary and fixed standard of tariff. Such a tariff can bo advisable only when the country has attained Its maximum of business, and when population and productions havo becomo stationary. Wo havo the ability to do a much larger busi ness than we are now doing, and wo think wo Bhould befalso to the trusts reposod In us, wero wo to noglect an opportunity to attract businsrs by pursuing a policy auoh aB wo havo indicated.

The Tiuongh-ticket System# Philadelphia, Jan. 14,1859.. Editor op This Press—Dear Sir : I regret to boo an article In your paper of yesterday, ac companied by a letter from Col. Samuel Tate, of Memphis—beoanse X think it bad policy to,bring up an old matter of controversy, after it has been oompromis&d and settled, and because the public cannot understand the merits of such a controversy, unless they can devote more time to its considers* tion than is at their disposal, and can understand more of the faots than can bo stated in a newspa per communication. „ ' It is entirely trno, as Cot. Tate says, that a Con vention was oalled at Washington, on or about May 20th; bat, at the samo time, it is equally true that the Convention was afterwards postponed • till May 27th. It is also trne that both Coif Tata . an j supposed that arrangements had been _ made previously for a through-ticket, at pro. rata per mile, over the Richmond, Fredericksburg, and f Ptomac road., I had agreed to such a ticket, arid supposed it was well understood by all parties, nut learned, just before-leaving for Washington, on or about Miy 2Btb, that there was some diffi uity with the Richmond, Fredericksburg and f»« :?i 8C ? 0fl(1 * took* particular pains to have Tftn,i !i !f r7 * ew parties representing that nil A 2 t 0 and'reconciled Wa fl S«^ Cn -, Uie3; 80 that ’ 1 at . r D ?° n ' Iwm prepared to make in behalf of “'Si mako a throogh-tioket from both Philadelphia and New York, - at ??„« rata p ? r mi . ,e; Thm I-™ prepared ont > and offered to carry ont, tbs ’"J' nf tko Biohmond. = 0 .

'Good faith and honesty demanded, under the circumstance?, that l'shoutd stand by our cmkage ment with the Biohmond,' Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad, and that I should do so. though a through ticket was never sold.” X nse a quota from Colonel Tate’s letter, only sohstiniting the Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potozrfao Bail- It a rX ol v tlle Orange and Alexandria road, to show 5* t were under obligations to keep- l{ shod faith and honesty,” I was, no less .than he, .under the same obligations to another real—with "only this difference in my favor, that my obligations were to the short and direct Tonte, while his obli gatioas.eompeUed him to send the travel forty Or miles farther than by.the direct route. The public, therefore, who travel would receive “® n efifc if l could reconcile matters, whereas, y I failed, the traveller would be obliged to ride forty-five miles further than was necessary; Had the; Richmond and Fredericksburg Railroad, in tue Convention on the 271 h of May, refused to come in to the- through-ticket on a pro rata. basis, then I should have been prepared to join Mr. Tato and make a through-ticket- or* r yj® Orange and Alexandria road; but -'they did not so refuse. On the contrary, they pro posedd to make the ticket and, to come in pro rata. Under these circumstance?, 'I should I have dose violence to my sense of right toward* imy associates, and should have been wise to'thkt faith and honesty which keepthelr compacts, had I then yielded to an exclusive ticket over a much longer route, and one which, up to this time, bad not even been recognised by any one' of the roads as a part of the through line. Good faith required me to keep my compacts,even at the expense of disa greeing with many of my. associates in the through line until I could harmonize the conflicting ele ments, and thus be relieved from my. obligations by those toVhom I was bound in good faith be coming party to the compromise. Th*§ compromise t have accomplished after more than six months incessant labor, by both personal interviews and correspondence. lam free, however, to acknow ledge that in this compromise there were others who-entered-with as much zeal as myself, and without - whose Important aid I coaid have done nothing. Among these gentlemen, I mention with great pleasure Col. Tate. , , \ I can only say, in ‘conclusion, that this road lias never been a party in any way*to any discrimina tion against Philadelphia; hut, on the contrary, it has constructed, almost entirely from its own re sources, the Delaware Railroad, which has de feated the air line from New York to Norfolk, and brought the trade and travel of that line to Phila delphia, instead of allowing it to go, as it would have gone, to New York by crossing the Delaware seventy miles below Philadelphia. This road had no.part orparcel in what appeared to favor,New York.' The New York and Memphis travel’paid precisely the same priceto this road as the Phila delphia and Memphis travel. -This road will over be ready, to. promote the trade and prosperity cf Philadelphia, and the country along and tributary to its line, by affording at all times a safe and re* ; liable .transit foy both freight and Und by fomißbipg’gtich f*rilfaeyift>r ti»vel Aa- shall * ’Swjinß —__ ly yoors, S.

W. and 8., Railroad The Gold op Pike’s Peak.—Speoimens.of gold from the Nebraska and Kansas mines, from no particular locality, but from tho diggings along the Platte river and Chferry creek,'above the town of Auraria, in Arap&ho county, in Kansas, em bracing the country for ten or fifteen miles around, have been analysed at tho Philadelphia mint. The result of the assay Is a*,follows: Fineness, 96S thousandths; value, for ounce troy, alter melt ing, $2O 01. Tho loss in melting was very small; but in ordinary oases, a deduction of two per cent, from the above may be made in stating the value of native grains. A recent assay of a sample of 'sold, from tho same region, gave a fineness of. 964 thousandths, and n consequent value of $l9 92 per ounce, after melting. Theso results seem to con firm the oharaoter of the Kansas and Nebraska gold, and show it to be of very high fineness—much above that of California, and equal to that of Aus tralia.
