inc that statement of the Director deliberate
isisehood uttered through the gentleman from

for fear il might not be available while the ques-

amendment. which was decided in the afiirma-
tive-Ayes 70, Noes ~. So the section was
amended by striking out Newly ork and inserting
San Francisco; and this section was then stricken
out-Ayes 81, Noes "a. Several other sections
succeeding were stricken out. 60 the New York
Mint part Of the bill was destroyed. The Califor-
MA portion now remains
Mr.. SCBEECK made an Intellectual motion to
amend, leaving it discretionary with the Secreta
ny of the Treasury to establish the branch at san
Francisco or some other point
MIR. CHANDLER would say in reply 70 Mr.. Briggs,
who had charged the Director OF the Mint with
telling ialsehood, that the Director has never
volunteered anything by post Or by telegraphie
communication. All that he, (CHANDLERl had
read Or shown, was in answert to letters which he
had written to the Director.
On m otion Of Mr. THOMAS the remainder OF the
Bill was stricken out
MIR BAYLY offered a substitute for the amend
ment % Mr. Chandler which he said would meet
the whole emergency OF the case. By law OF
last Session, provision was made for cutting the
gold ssssyed in California into bars or ingots,
Treasury might adopt. The Secretary has sent
out assayers, with directions to cut the gold into
pieces worth fifty, one hundred and five hundred
dollars u be received in Oregon and California
for five airs for all Government demands, but
the law provides no punishment for counterfeit
ing ard punishment of the assayer who makes
way with gold. The substitute remedies the de-
feet OF The law, and will meet the whole emer-
gency-
he enumerated the advantages of such regula-
tons-such as safety of transmission and counting.
Mr. WRIGHT offered few remarks in favor OF
a Mint il California, when the question was ia
ken on Mr.. Bayly's substitute for Chambers
amendment, heretofore offered and twas agreed
to-Aycs lOl, Nays %.

of M. Bayly for the bill
Mr. STRONG moved to lay the bill on the table,
and afterward withdrew bis motion, and it was
renewed BY Mr. Gable of Ohio.
The question was decided in the negative
