also been received. The is argentferous car
Donate of lead found in Davidson county, North Ca
rolina and the proprieors of the mine seem conf
dent that it will be largely productive.
At the New Orleans branch mint, the coinage IN
lS41 amounted to $780, comprising So5, 200
in gold and 1855 900 in silver coin, and composed OF
1868 100 pieces of which 2 822 500 were dimes and
half dimes.
The branch mint at Charlotte received during the
year, deposes of gold to the value of 1872 $685. and
its coinage amounted to Sl33,037E composed Of
81 ACT half eagles, and 1921 quarter eagles.
The branch mint at Dahlonega received deposites
of gold to the value of 1874, and coined 80 495
half eagles, and A. Ga quarter eagles, amounting to-
gether to Sl62 1885,
The Mint established in 1893, since which time
it and its branches, up to the year lS4l, inclusive
have coined 257 864 1886 pieces, amounting In value
to S86,33I ,486 rs.
The principal Mint and its branches have been all
in good condition throughout the year, and there has
been unusual interruption in their operations; but
owing to the small supply of bullion, they have been
only partially employed so that the amount of work
done by them has fallen far below what they are able
to execute. The whole coinage of all the minis was
less than two and quarter millions, while the Phila
delphia mint alone is capable of coming twelve MIL
ions, and in 1886 did actually coin more than seven
land three quarters.

The resolutions of Mr.. CLAY will attract your at
tention also. The debate upon them embracing, as
they do all the questions which agitate the public
mind, and which divide the two parties) will be the
great debate of the session. Mr. CLAY will lead off,
and WILL no doubt, make an able speech upon the
subject Washington Correspondent Of Baltimore Pat.
We have heard all along ever since the commence
ment of the session, and weeks before, that Mr. Clay
was to make grand effort in the speechmakng line,
which would utterly annhate the President The day
has been appointed, by the Courier Enquirer's let
ter writer, for his resignation, but no one has said
,chen his I" able speech" is to come He has made
grand Hourish-this he has done hundred times
but the grand speech has not followed as usual. But
it matters nothe people will lose nothing more than
they have been in the habit Of losing by the loss
of it.

recommendation by the Executive is sufficient
motive with him for opposition. Take, for ex-
ample, the nomination of Major Barker to the
Office of First Comptroller, to supply the va
carey occasioned by the appointment of Mr.
Forward to the head of the Treasury Depart
ment. In this case there could be no reasons
suggested by any views connected with the in
terests of the nation to induce the opposition
1t was the simple nomination of gentleman,
whose fitness, we believe, is indisputable. No
injury could have been done to the country by
confirming it. And yet in matter merely per-
sonal-where the conscience of the statesman
was not implicated, we find Mr.. Clay manifest
ing his disposition to support the Administra-
ton by voting against the recommendation Of
the Executive. Is the opposition justified on
the ground that Mr. Barker ranked among the
Democrats2 This Should not be a sufficient
reason with any, who think that the doctrine of
Jefferson is the true rule Of conduct in making
appoinments-or does Mr.. Clay repudiate that
doctrine? AT all events, if Mr.. Clay was sim
cere in the declaration, that he would support
the Administration, shis was one opportunity for
him 10 prove it.

UNITED STATES MINT.

The Report from the Directors of the Mint at Phi
ladephia shows the operations of that institution and
its branches for the year l04l.
1t is stated in the Report that the coinage executed
at the Mint in Philadelphia in 1S4l, amounted to
81 ,3O4 ,l99, comprising S70 AIS gold s57775O in
silver, and 1888 in copper coins, and composed OF
5.O5I 1871 pieces, as follows-Gold Eagles 63, l3l !;
half Eagles, $685. Silver Dollars, i730oOi half
Dollars $40, 900; quarter Dollars 100000 dimes,
,6225'O; half dimes, 1,l50,0C0; copper cents,

The depositcs of gold at Philadelphia within the

TUMBIING DOWN.

The editor of the Columbus Freeman has struck
his flag, on which was inscribed the name of Henry
Clay for the next Presidency He says that ne
placed the of that ilustrous statesman at the
head of his paper in the hope of being instrumental
in rallying the Wing party on Wing men and Wing
principles but that hope has proved vain and illuso-
ry. All the great leaders of the Wing party, he
says, are at swords points. Its principes-who
tell what they are: Its measures, defeated and
repealed by its own instructions and its own votes =
Exchange paper.
If the Columbus editor had waited few weeks
longer on MIR. Clay, he would have had new princi-
Piles enough to huzza over for four more years. We
allude to the "grand dourish' few days since in
the Senate.

MIR. CLAY'S SUPPORT OF THE AID
MINISTRATION

Mr. CLAY declared in the Senate that ne and
his friends were disposed to support the admin
istration wherever they could. The declaration
is patriotic and magnanimous. But whenever
the Representatives of the Union assume
lofty tone Of virtue, our suspicious are aroused
and we cannot forbear from inquiring ntothe mo-
tive which dictated it, and from endeavoring to
discover the object which it is intended to veil.
A man of bis sel6shness and ambition does not
seek to obtain areputaton for disinterestedness
and moderation without the view of gaining
be Inexperienced. The country in state of
suffering, almost unprecedented, is anxiously
waiting for measures of relief from the action
of the Government. If the present session
passes without any thing having been effected,
Mr.. Clay prepares for that issue by endeavoring
to create, in advance, the impression that the
cupability must rest wholly with the Admins
traton, which perversely and obstinately refus-
ed to unite in opinion with him and his friends.
They merit no censure /; they were actuated by
no personal or partisan impulses; they would
support the Administration as far as their con-
sciences would permit. If the labors of the
session prove fruitless, and the interests of the
country are left in the state of prostration to
which they are now reduced, without an effort
having been made to raise them, the blame must
attach to the Administration, and the Admins
tration only.
But if happily the result should be different
if, amid all the conflicts Of opinion, the co-ordi-
nate branches of the Government should sue
coed in devising measures which will have a
sslutary tendency, Mr.. Clay will discover some
plea on which he can claim the Lions share of
credit. In either alternative, a large amount of
Official capital will be obtained towards the
next Presidential election. Defeated again and
again, he is still undaunted-he returns to the
fight with new forces as soon as the old ones
are annhilated He has already put various en-
gines in operation towards effecting the one
grand object, and the magnanimous declaration
we have mentioned, we regard as small lever
to be worked in combination with instruments
of more power.
Unfortunately for himself, however he can
not deceive any who choose to regard his
acts as well as his language,-who will
not take his professions on trust, but scrutinize
how far they conform with his practice. His
acts, at the present session, have been few, but
these indicate, if any thing, that instead of be-

CONGRESS.

On Thursday, the orders of the day were call
ed up few moments after the reading OF the
journal. Mr.. Bovine spoke against the recon-
menda,ions of the Committee, and was follow
ed, in reply, by Mr.. Milton Brown, Of Tennes-
see. The morning hour having expired, the
subject was laid over till tomorrow.
Mr.. Fillmore rose to move that the House re-
solve itself into Committee of the Whole, but
gave way to Mr.. Gushing, who said he was in
structed by the Select Committee on Finance
and the Currency to ask leave to make report, in
part, on the subject referred to it. The report
was accompanied by bill, which was read
twice and referred to the Committee of the
Whole on the state of the Union. Both were
ordered to be printed. A proposition was then
made to print $500 extra copies Of the report
and bill.
Mr.. Davis, of Kentucky, from the same Com
mittee, made a counter report, and moved that
the same disposition might be made with regard
to the printing Of it as with the other report. Mr..
Turney moved to postpone the consideration OF
printing the extra number of copies until Mon
day week. On this motion the ayes and noes
were ordered.
Mr.. Wise called for the reading of the report.
After some difficulty the reading was ordered.
When the Clerk had gone through few SEN
tences Mr.. Gushing, at the suggestion OF seve-
raj members, proposed to read it himself. MIR.
Andrews objected. The Speaker decided that
the Chairman of the Committee might read its
report. An appeal was taken, but the House
sustained the Chair Mr. Gushing then read
the report through and afterwards, the bill adopt
ed by the Committee.
The counter report-if it may be so called
being signed only by a single member OF the
Committee, Mr.. Davis was then read in part,
and the House adjourned.
The Senate passed the bills which were yes
terday engrossed for third reading, and refused
to entertain resolution submitted by Mr.. Sim
mons to postpone the Bankrupt law for one year.
