The OPERATION OF THE New Posr-oFFIcE Law

We are happy TO learn, we do at the Post-ofEce,
that yet there is but little if any falling off from
the immense impulse at given to the business of
the Post-ofice Department by the cheap postage law
which went into effect on the 1st instant The
amount of correspondence between this city, Boston
and Philadelphia, has become multiplied nearly five
fold and that between New York and all other points
has increased from three aud half to FIVE hundred
per cent in the number Of letters-The great differ
produced by the law in the postage of let-
tiers composed of more than sheet Of paper how
ever, occasions dIminution Of revenue which the
numerical increase Of letters great it IS as vet
fails to meet and vefy large deficit in the aggre-

SOUND THE TOCSIN!

Tuesday Morning. Yesterday the election in In
diana o and it has been remarked in all quar-
tiers one of the most quiet that occurred In
the State. Indeed, leading Wings here, have laugh
ed to see charges used By their friends in quarter
while the same charges were made more tangible by
the Democrats against the Wings in another-neither
of them worth mentioning at present. But our OBJ
ject is state what information have received in
regard to the election.
Without any effort, under the present judcious law,
combining voters to their own townships, the Democ-
racy in this 'citadel county, of whiggery has been
peculiarly triumphant.
Nearly every candidate the ticket has been elect
ed and erery would have easily been elected, had
profesSed democrats done what was but simply their
duty. Under present circumstances, can overlook
this matter now, and do nothing but rejoice
Mind this If the balance Of the State has done
well the Centre, we shall have a majority on
joint ballot in the Legislature Of 20 votes,
curing to US Democratic u. S. Senator, and tending
to prove how silly man looks for condemning in
Democrats course approved and advocated by wings
and especially by himself as leader.
We give the following coming near the official
result, which latter will be given in next The
Abolition vote is understood to be about 80 in the
County.

The Currency.

We copy. the following from the Money department
of the N Y News 1t is worthy of careful atten-
tion
In estimating the condition Of the United States
currency as affected by the banks in existence, some
difficulty exists from the want of regular and uniform
publications of their affairs a signal instance of the
inconsistency of those Legislators who contend for
paper currency, and the power Of Congress to "regu-
late it through the indirect agency of National
Bank, and yet deny Congress the power to compel
these currency furnshers to make regular and prompt
statements as TO the extent Of their issues. In de-
fault of such statements there Is resource but TO
collect patiently and carefully the isolated returns OF
individual banks and bring them together from time
to time in comprehensive table, that viii Indicate
the true state Of the currency. We have now leading
features from all the banks of eight States and these
compare in relation to specie and circulation with the
same States in 1885, as follows:

The MINT-The U. States have three minis for the
coinage of money. One at Philadelphia, in N.
Carolina and the other in New Orleans, and although
the two latter are called mints yet they may be
justly considered branches of parent institution
at Philadelphia established in that city almost imme
diately after the government established. The
coming of money not generally understood and the
Philadelphia Chronicle has been at some pains to col
ect account of the process "Bullion is brought
TO the Mint In every form; anal carnations from the
ORE plate, jewelry, and foreign coin All these pre-
sent great variety as TO Its quality. The Assayer
brings this heterogeneous into proper condi-
ton and neness for coming, and returns the metal
lngoS small bars. These bars, ingots, then
anneaed, soften them for rolling; when they are
passed through the rolling machine, worked by a
steam engine, and come out in long thin strips-of
the width and thickness convenient for use In
order to reduce these strips of metal to their proper
size for the press, they are drawn through nicely
graduated drawing dies" In the next place they
are passed through the cutting press, which is also
moved by seam the punch moves so rapidly that one
hundred and sixty pieces, average, cut in a
minute. The pieces thus prepared next put into
the milling machine which the edge to afford pro-
lection to the surface of the coin is forced up. In
this machine, hundred and twenty half dollars
five hundred and sixty half Dimes can be milled in a
minute The pieces of metal thus prepared are then
tested as to their weight, and, if found correct are
again softened for the dies. The stamping machine
Is moved, also, by steam power. The pieces are put
into inclined tube side of the machine from
whence they reach the coming dies in regular ORDER
receive the impression, and fall into box below
upon the opposite side perfect coin, ready for cir
culation. The presses of various Sizes to suit
the various denominations of coin. The usual speed
of striking is sixty pieces per minute for the hnlf dol
lar, seventy-fve for the quarter and ninety for the
dime The Mint with few additional hands. is
competent to coin ten millions half gold and half sill
yer, annually"

CAPITAL PUNIsKMENT.-The Nelc Hampshire States
man says: "No man who votes for the abolition OF
the gallows, will ever commit murder 1t is the
coward spirit that hates humanity enough to hang II
by the neck in cold blood, that will murder under
temptation. will trust my life implicitly with the
ten thousand in this State who for the abolition
of the gallows. Men too tender of human life, &c
hang murderer, will commit murder. Muir
derers never think Of the galows till after they have
killed, and then they afraid of themselves
than of that. They often to the galows for re-
lief from themselves and from murderous communi-
ty around them.''
