OUR BRANCH MINT.

Having learned from Washington, that seriou.
charges of extravaganza made against our
Branch Mint by the Locofoco and Wing parties in
Congress, in the debates upon the Appropriation Bill
before the House of Representatives we took the
pains yesterday to call at the Mint and make maui
ries. The books were readily shown to us, contain
ing the items of all the outays since the day the Mint
opened, and 10 and behold the only items of ex-
pendture which the accusers have alleged against
this establishment, are viz
Seven baths erected Dec. 9Th 1885, under the SUI
Of Mr. Bradford and necessary for the
health and comfort Of the workmcn at cost of
Sl7O0.
One Brussels carpet for the superintendent room,
and one Ingraham carpet for the Treasurer's room,
bought by Mr. Bradford, March I'd, 1888, at a cost
of 1887 rs, and these carpets are necessary orna-
ments for these offices.
One lngraham carpet for the Coincr's room, bought
by Mr. Kennedy, Both September, 1910, at cost of
S47 25 and the same may be said of this office.
The story, about the pianos and costly household
furniture paid for at the expense of the Government
as alleged by the Washington Correspondents Of the

Locofocos, Is all coinage Of thesb politicians

We have thought this exposition of the true state
OF affairs in this matter, to be demanded by the ext
gehcies OF the country, for great efforts are
making by the Wing Congress to destroy our Mint,
by refusing TO grant the necessary supplies for
l642.
The utility Of Branch Mint in this city is becom-
ing more and more obvious daily and hourly. II is
true, that, hitherto, il has been poorly managed but
large infusion OF new materilI among the officers
Of this establishment will have the effect of placing
it, side by side, with the mother at Philade-
phia. This has already been DONE in some measure,
by the excellent appointment Of Mr.. Caldwell as Su-
pertinent and we have doubt, but that the Presi-
dent will follow up work, well begun, until he
shall get officers who will exert themselves to raise
the character of the Mint to the highest pitch of
promptitude and ability
The movement in the House of Representatives to
strike out the appropriations of Mint is silly in the
extreme. Members ought to know that, by the terms
of the contract, the moment the Mint is abandoned
the square Of ground on which il stands will revert
TO the donor the city of New Orleans. The build

Total number of pieces, 1888, 100, and total
coinage s640, 200. The total expenses for the year
were 50,397,65, which, when compared with the
coins turned out is utterly unworthy of being taken
into consideration.
During the first quarter Of the present year, more
industry is observed in the management of the Mint.
The number of pieces coined in those three months
are ,773, $685., 900, at cost of $4,000, more
than half Of the whole work Of lS4l, and the
establishment worked to its full capacity, it could be
made equal to the Philadelphia Mint. The total
amount of specie received for coinage in the first quar-
ter was $4Sl 600
The advantages to this section of the country OF
this Mint are immense. We have now specie cur
rency of small change, which, under no other cir
cumsta noes, could have had. 1t remains in circu
laon, because it is less in value, by small fraction
than Mexican dollars. Thousands Of dollars of gold
and silver used in articles Of luxury will be melt
ed up, and already large amounts have been sent to
the Mint for coinage, to meet the exgences of the
times
We earnestly hope that Congress will pause and
reflect before they do away with our Mint. 1t is a
popular institution. All that is wanting make it
universally liked, and to make it the most valuable
institution the South are efficient officers all the
departments which confident the President
will take care to name to the Senate for confirmation

has contributed to ruin them. Of abusing the
good fortune which has befallen ourselves
But let Us teach them better. They have new
er been able to retain power, partly because
they have won it by such disgraceful means;
and partly because they have never known

They rush on for measures, for which not even
their own allies were prepared. They violate
their own professions. They clutch the spoils
Of victory with an Unsuitable avidity. Their
aspiring leaders cannot quietly wait for the
possession Of high offices-but they fall to
strife, for the qualification Of their own ambi-
ton. They are hoping that we shall fall into
the same blunders which have assisted to ruin
them. They are. anxiously waiting to see Us
rushing into excuses, abusing our prosperity,
forgetting our principles, dividing on certain
measures, or distracted by the competition OF
ambitious leaders. We must avoid all these
rocks. We mnst cherish s'our Union for tho
