On motion of Mr. BRIGGS the House went INTO
Committee on the hill establishing Branch Mlnts
in New. York and San Francisco, apprOpriating
two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars
toward buildings for the first and three hundred
thousand for the latter.
Mr.. BRIGGS said that this bill passed the Senate
on the 3lst of May last, by very large majority
after undergoing long and earnest deoate on It's
merits. The Committee on Commerce OF this
House at the close of last session, reported,
through his honorable colleague, Mr. Phoenix, a
member of that Committee, most fully and
ably mass of statistical facts. all having
a direct bearing on this measure, and as he doubt
ed not the facts were still fresh on the minds oil
gentlemen, it would be a wanton waste OF time
Tor him to recapitulate them. This was no new
question TO the House. In the XXlXth and
XXXth Congress, a b i'll to establish Mint In
New. York was passed, but he believed for wantot
time il was not considered in the Senate Ii there
existed at that period a necessity for Mint, at
time, too, before gold TO any extent had been ac'
ouired from California, how much greater all must
admit did the necessity exist for increased iacl-
ties for the coinage of the large amount OF dust
constantly arriving at New YORK from the Pacinc
coast and which, in all human probability, would
continue to arrive until the end OF time. de read
various statistical statements, and earnestly ed'
vocated the passage of the bill. He said that
New.York at no distant day would be the mon
eyed and commercial center Of the civilized world.
Mr.. CHANDLER offered q substitute for the Dill
establishing a Branch Mint at San Francisco, and
an Assayers Office in New York. IL was read
and the Committee rose. 80
On motion of Mr. BRIGGS the debate on the bill
was ordered to cease on Friday at IL o'clock, and
the House adjourned.
