Thus It appear: that for paving and q digging the
ward. ,ijc walk. &c, and for Baths water closets,
& =, there plid the OF sixteen thousand eight
hundred aud Ihir,y-nine 1ollors, and twenty eight
cents.
Upon m eSAminat on Of the accounts OF tie Trea-
surer OF this BSanch Mint, the conclusion is otced
upon the minds OF the Commitice that the officers "
this establishment, from the Superintendent down
10 the loves, Clerk, not only supposed their bust
to Coin money" but 20 spend it as fast as
coined and that they were sent there TO live IN a
pa ace and indulge IN the mos, unbounded luxury
The Committee have appended TO this report (see
appendix e. copies of some OF the vouchers ac-
companyins the of the Treasurer settled
at the Treasury Department which will give some
idea OF the luxurious tastes md their dsdaniu dis
regard Of that humely virtue, economy, on the part
of the Officers OF the Mint. Indeed, the Committee
can hardly suppose any further proof Of their un-
bounded extravaganza Is wanting than the fact THEY
have already shown, namely that some ten thousand
dollars we've expended by them IN the erection OF
those panees OF Eastern luxury, la'hs and their
appurt.narccs. The Committee are fully aware
that these gentlemen did but follow in the footsteps
OF illuslrous predecessors" that some OF the En-
perors OF Rome expended immense sums IN the cree.
ton OF Baths in the eternal city" But, if they do
not greatly in their historic rccollections, these
luxurious buildings the growth OF the En-
pre-, and no; Of tho Republic OF Rome; and
erected by the masters, and not by the servants OF
the people.

she begged some bread saving sustained life up TO
this period by sucking plies of ice; but no attention

NORTH CAROLINA SENATOR.

Henry Haywood, junior, has been elected
succeed Mr.. Graham, whose term of service ex-
pires on the 18th March next. Although Mr.
Haywood is one Of North Cardinals noblest sons,
yet, until the result was announced, no one in
this city, we believe, was aware that his name
was to be put in nomination. We are glad that
he is elected, because underst aBd it is com
promise between the rival houses of --, and
because the State contained no better man
