last for Washington, carrying with him
the record of an investigation which has
been going on, night and day, for more
than a month, al the mint, during which
many curious facts came 10 light. Mr..
Shdell conducted the investigation ON the
part Of the Government, Judge Woodruff
and William ID. BOYLE, Esq. ON the part
OF the superintendent, and his party, and
Jacob Barker, ESQ. On the part Of some
OF the other officers.

sharp shooting between the counsel as we'll

salion are OF nature nnpcaching the
characters of most of the officers in the
mint, for honesty, ycracity, and fitness for
their stations. We do not know what dis
position will he made by the Government
