CALIroRsIA Coins AsD ISeoTs.-Mr Eckert,
the Director of the Mint in PHILADELPHIA, in com
munication to the Philadelphia press in which he
explains why the Mint refuses to receive the coins
and ingots stamped by MofTatt Co, Of San
Francisco, Gays:
"In order to justify public officer in accepting
c)in as money, somelaw is necessary, making the
same legal tender Of payment 1t is sufficient,
therefore, TO state that the issues OF Moffitt Co..
and others in California, utterly uureco gnsed
by law, TO show that there no obligation what
ever on the United States 10 accept the same.
There Is n Government assaycr in California,
Mr. Augustus Humbcrt, who IL authorized TO
stamp the hnencss and value Of bare and ngots
for the owners of bullion. But even hcso nre not
made money, or a legal tender. and the Govern.
mcnt Il under no obligation TO receive them. !
understand that MofIatt < Co., under the superyi
sion Of this assnycr, manufacture the octngonal
ingots which he issues; bot for tho coins OF that
house he assumes no responsibility whatever.
1T Is not correct 20 say that no difference is ap
parent between the private coinage referred to and
that Of the United States; for on the diverse the
name of hlofist & Co is distinctly substituted for
the word Liberty on our own coin, while ON the
reverse we have -. NJ V California Cold ia
place Of tho words United States Of America. >
Nevertheless, the close imitation Of the devices on
the national coin by the private mints OF Califor.
MIA is very inconyonicnt and apparently in con.
travention OF law"
