Nations do not readily part with the tokens or their

the present time overlooking the great fact that the mint
is national matter and not New York matter We
have not yet arrived at that point when it may be said
that New York is the United States it has been re

this bill fairly, and give it the which bills
generally take but he did not desire it to take pre-
cedence OF those bills which appeal to the justice
as well the patriotism of the House, and which
eau lot deioeration and action. Many gentlemen
in the last Congress would recoect the arguments
would remember the outcry, that the mint in Phia-
deha incompetent to the coinage of the gold of this
country apd to dispose of the gold dust of California He
at that time replied that the mint at Philadelphia was, in
all respects able and the directors wiling to meet all
emergencies and that s10O 900 of all denominations
sanctioned by law, could be coined in the course of
year All he then promised had been amply fulfilled.
But no man or set of men, the government itself

in the great metropolis of the Union. If should
open the Treasury of this nation, there would not
be money enough to crafty the rapacity exhibited
at the period 10 which he referred He replied to the
gument OF the vast Inconvenience and the excessive
pense of conveying gold from New York to Philadelphia
for coinage, and propounded the inquiry how New
York 10 be the recipient of the gold dust of California;
The answer was the beraty OF other States and that
OF this House, and she makes of this argument
that we should pour everything else into her lap She
takes the avors without thanks, and males this motive
for asking further assistance The expense of conveying
gold from New York to Philadelphia and back when made
into coin involves premium of S25 900 for hundred
millions twice that at the risk of persons who
transport the money, who furnish ample security The
question then is not of danger and the two cities
only three and half hours apart. All the wants ofcom
merce ana business fully satisfied by the mint at
Philadelphia, and than satisfied by the addition
OF the branch in California Gentlemen do not sit
here to egsate for British brokers and London
bankers, who send their gold dust from New York
Philadelphia to be coined thence to be taken to England

mint is demanded by all interests in the community and

absence OF mint forced to pass their gold into the
hands OF bullion brokers' who charge them from four

get their gold coined.
Mr.. CHANDLER expressed his thanks to the gentleman
for giving him a breathing SPELL
Mr. FLORENCE (dem ofPa, begged to state to the gen

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT BILLY BowLgGs
AND HIS TRIBE TO LEAVE FLORIDA
The SPEAKER laid before the House several communca-
tons, among them one from the President of the United
States ansmittng report from the Secretary of the
department to induce the Indians in Florida to migrate
the country assigned to their tribe west of the Mississippi
have been entirely unsuccessful The only aterna-
tive that now remains, the President SAYS. Is
either to compel them By force to comply with
the treaty made with the tribe in May 1882 by which
they agreed to migrate within three years that da
to allow the arrangement had with them in 1872 by
which they to remain in the temporary occupation
OF portion Of the pennsular until the government
should see fit to remove them The President observes
that cannot be denied that the Withholding of large
portion OF her territory from settlement is a serious in
jury to the State OF Florida and although since
the arrangement above referred to- the Indians have
manifested desire to remain at peace with the whites
the presence OF people who may at any time and upon
any real fanced provocaon be driven acts of hos
ty is source of constant anxiety and alarm to the
inhabi'ants of that border There can be doubt,
also, that the welfare of the Indians would be
promoted by their removal from territory where the
frequent collisions between them and their reIMu M
other hand there is every to believe that mani
festaons of desire to remove them by force or to take
possession the territory allotted them would be mme-
datcy reated by acts of cruelty the defenceless
inhabitants The number Of Indians now remaining in
the State Is is true, very nconserabe not exceeding
it is believed five hundred but owing to the great extent
OF country occupied By them, and ts adaptation to
their peculiar mode of warfare force very dspropor
tonate 10 their number would be necessary TO capture
exp them even to protect the white settlements from
their incursons The military force stationed in
that State would be inadequate TO these objects and if it
should be determined to enforce their removal to
survey the territory allotted to them, addition
to il would be necessary, the government has
but small force available for that service. Additional
appropriations for the support of the army, would
IN that event be necessary For these reasons, the
President has deemed it proper to submit the whole
matter to Congress- for such action as they may deem
best.
The message was referred TO the Committee on Military
Affairs

to former letters addressed by him to the Department OF
state the same subject, and earnest wish ex-
pressed that final settlement of this long pend
ing claim should be made The tone Of the letter from
Manuel Bertram De Lis is somewhat more peremptory
than could be wished but this circumstance will not
probably prevent Congress from giving the suggestions
the attention to which they may be entitled
