The California Mint Bill.

The Bill to establish an U. S. Mint in
this State, besides encountering consid-
cradle opposition in Congress, from the
usual sources of dislike to everything
Californian, and from political specula-
tors, who look to q change in the specu-
lation, and would fain make capital of
this m measure for another Congress, and
also from those members who, even when
favorable to bill, always give their
voice and vote grudgingly-appears to
have run against another difficulty, and
no less an one than the everlasting and
omnipresent plea Of expense. This ter
rible bugbear has presented itself with
every proposition that has como up for
consideration in Congress, providing for
the wants of California, and has nearly
frightened several members out of their
wits. 1t appeared to one Senator during
the discussion incidental to the intro-
duction of the Navy Yard Bill, as we
mentioned in our remarks on that SUBJ
iect yesterday. In connection with the
claim which has been urged by the
friends of the Mint proposed for New
York City, this question of expense is
likely to prove injurious to our bill.
By our last adyices from Washington,
we are told that the probable great cost
ola Mint in this State, is to form one
grand objection to it, and it is so consid-
cred by the friends Of the New York
Mint, and will SO be urged They say
that it would be great saving to have
California bullion coined after its arrri-
val in New York, besides being equally
convenient to the remitters Of gold, and
the returning 'Californians,' to Mint
on our shores. They also urge the fact
of the coinage at New Orleans the past
year, having cost the Government two
and q half times as much as the money
coined at Philadelphia. But we deny
the justness Of the argument that it
would be equally as convenient to the
people of this State, whether transient
or permanent citizens, to have the coin
age of our gold done in New York
Aside from the evident propriety of hav-
ing Mint where all, within fraction,
of the gold of our country is found, both
travellers and remitters viii appreciate
the convenience Of being able to afhx
a certain value to those remittances, be-
sides that, many of the toiling labarers
will be enabled to realize at the Mint
the intrinsic value of the fruits Of that
labor, and thus obviate the necessity Of
share Of their profits to
the banker or other purchaser Of the
dust,if indeed they be not doubly taxed
by paying premium for Bills on New
York And moro than this, it may not
always be Convenient for the Govern
ment to advance ,as it does now, the val
ue Of the bullion, which may arrive in
New York, the state of the Treasury be-
ing alone the guide or authority for
these advances, and it has happened,
aud may happen again, that the Treas
ury may be without surplus.
1t certainly would seem plain to men
of the most ordinary intelligence, that
with a mint no nearer than New York
State, our citizens are still compelled to
transport their bullion 6OOO miles, at a
heavy cost of freight and insurance, and

to get it back in the shape Of coin they
must pay still more, besides submitting
to, vexatious delays, and being other
wise incOnvenienced by time, distance
and trouble. Turn il in which way we
will, this is the naket fact. As to the
comparison of expense between New
Orleans and New York, tho premises are
untenable. Any large working estab.
lishment, whether mint a rnanufacto-
ryor sugar estate, will always be main
tanned at greater pro rata expense, ,ac-
cording to the diminished amount of
work performed. The salaries of the of-
6cers, the buildings and the machinery,
are very much the same at N. Orleans
as they are at the Philadelphia Mint,
and give the same quantity of tcork, and
the expense viii be nearly, n not quite
equalized. To men Of discernment, this
matter should be very clear; but it is
not so 10 the advocates of the New York
branch. If there be any advantage &C.
cruipg to the community in which such
an ablishment is located, it should be
awarded to that State whose crop is pro.
duced' consummate in the birth. Alta

hm Stuuk on uhc otuss wary
am sitting on the stile, Mary,
Where we sat side by side
On bright May morning, long ago,
When first you were my bride.
The corn was springing fresh and green,
And the lark sang loud and high,
And the red was on thy lips, Mary,
And the love bright in your eye.
The place is little changed, Mary,
The day is bright as then,
The lark's loud song is in my e'r,
And the corn 10 green again;
But miss the soft clasp Of yonr hand,
And your breath warm on my cheek;
And l still keep listning for the words
You never more may speak.
'Tis but q step down yonder lane,
And the little church stands near
The church where We were wed, Mary,
sec the spire from here;
But the grave yard lays between, Mary,
And my steps might break your rest,
For Eve laid you, darling, down to sleep,
With your baby on your breast.
Pm very lonely now, Mary,
For the poor make no new friends,
But, oh they love those better, far,
The few our Father sends;
And you were all | had, Mary,
My blessing and my pride,
There is nothing left to care for now,
Since my poor Mary died
Yours was the good brave heart, Mary,
That still h sept hoping on,
When the trust in God had left my SOU,
And my arms young strength was gone,
There was comfort ever on your lip,
And kind look on your brow;
Oh bless you for that same. Mary,
Though you can't hear me now.
thank you for that kindly look,
When your heart was fit to break,
When the hunger pang was enawing thee
And you hid II for my sake
bless you for the loving word,
When your heart was sad and sore -
Oh Pm thankful you are gone, Mary,
Where grief can't reach you more
Pm bidding you long farewell,
My Mary. Kind and true,
But I'll not forget thee, dfrling,
In the land Pm going TO;
They say there's bread and work for all,
And the sun shines always there,
But I'll not forget my native land
Were It fifty times as fair.
And often in those grand old woods
I'll sit and shut my eyes,
And my heart will travel back again
To the place where Mary lies;
And I'll think see the little stilc,
Where we sat side by side,
And the springing corn q. bright May morn
When first you were my bride.

Dear Brother It's lonely night
The stars pursue their march on high.
A nd the pale moon, with silver light,
Moves on in silent majesty
And softly through the shadowy trees
I hear the whispering Of the breeze.
At such an hour as this, love
To muse upon the days gone by:
And oft, on Memory's wing, rove
Back TO the time when thou weri nigh
And other loved ones, TOO. were near,
Who now no longer linger here.
Those cherished ones have passed away,
And. brother, thou art far from me,
Yet some sweet spirit seems TO say,
g Perchance he's thinking now of lnee.
Perchance he too is musing e'cr
The JOYS that may return no MORE"
