A HIint in New.York.


A FLINT in New.York.
Mr. BRIcos, tho Telegraph informs u.s. has sub
ntted his bill. on notice, 70 create a brunch Mint
in this City. and it has been duly referred. We
presume it will in due time, be reported and prob
ably pass the House-and that we apprehoud,
will be the end of it We do not believe IT can
be carried through the Senate. Such was the case
last year. and suspect the prospect is no better
now.
We must not be understood as questioning Mr.
Briggs tact when we say that our experience
confirms Our original impression that while this
bin must fail a better ono might be carried Mr.
H. is in the House n Representative, and he acts
as he has been responsibility counsoed and advised
from this City As new Member and rather an
unpresuming one, ne has very naturally fen
Obliged TO pursue the path marked out for him
Yet " are not the less confident that another
path is the right one. There ought 70 be Mint
here. but whenever there shall DO one thorc viii
be no use for one at Philadelphia To establish
one here. by an outlay Of hardly less than One
Million Dollars. lit 10 idle to Jungle about it and
create new cortege Of olicias-superlntendeni,
Amayer, Treasurer, SC, &c.-yet leave another
Mint and another set Of officers completely ashore
a, Philadelphia, will never prevail. The Philadel
pha local interest if less open. is not less deter
mined and active ia opposition than II would be 1t
the measure proposed were an open and blunt re
moval Of the Mnt-!or to that complexion It must
como at last A Mint IN NewY Kills that IN
Philadelphia Then why not say so at the outset
and provide for the removal OF the present machl-
merry and officials TO this City, selling the present

City Delegation was equally divided in politics,
and, though the Members enjoyed very unequal
popularity, each one had different circle Of friends

Der will OF course do his best. but a vote Of two
thirds to put such bill forward out Of order Is

the House--we recall three at this moment who
all live East Of our City. and by no means un.

Il hear all you have to say, but you cannot move as
from this position" We laid that to heart
The right bill would provide for the abolition Of
our present Branch MINIS at Charlotte n c. ard
Dahlonega Ga. and the transfer OF their machinery
officers, &c. to San Francisco. along with the re
nova Of the chief Mint from Philadelphia to New
York That would reduce the whole number Of
our MINIS from four to three, located at New York
New Orleans and Sau Francisco respectively,
which is Just where they are wanted. The sale Of
the old Mints would deiray good share Of the osl
Of the new Ones while there need be IN increase
Of officers or annual expense. That 1t is best 60
attempt all this. we 10 not say but that 1t is N
every way polite 70 strike at once for the removs
Of the Mint from Philadelphia ~ New York We
cannot doubt
