meeting Of the officers Of the City Banks was
held to-day, at which Committee was appointed to
devise scheme for uniform certfcstion Of checks.
The Secretary Of the Treasury has given an order
which Ia our opinion conf IT'S directly with the aot
establishing the Assay Oice in this City, and likely
TO materially interfere with its efficiency. Through
the representations Of the officers Of the Philadelphia
Mint be bas been induced to order that all the gold
depoi itsin the Assay Office intended to be coined
shall be sent over to Phladephis a. soon as the vaue
is ascertaned and before tire bars are refined Con
sequently the Assay Office s reduced to mere melt
ing concern ard the whole force OF reiners is Idle
TIE tenth section Of the Assay Office law says distinctly
that the Secretary shall be authorized TO establish in
this CITY an office for the netting psrtiog, refining
"ard sssa,ipp Gold silver bullion, &C.. and the
eleventh section Gays that that portion deposited fyr
coin, after being sssayed, as ab0re PrOvided, shall
be se of to the Philadelphia Mint for coinage. The
case appears to be very plain one against the Sec
retsry. and Mr.. Bu.terworth, the Superintendent
of the Office has gone to Washington in order to OBJ
tain il possible, resembling of the order. The or
der has no effect in delaying payments for deposits,
which will be made in coin az soon as the value is
ascertsined before it only transfers the refining
from the Assay Office in this City to the Mint in Phila-
delphia.
An agent Of the State Of California-Mr. Wihslow
Pierce-s now in this City on bis way to Washing
ton charged with obtaining from the Secretary Of the
Treasury the amount Of the appropriation m ,de at
the last session of Congress for the payment of the
War Bonds Of California. The amount of the appro-
pratiop was about $3.50 Ooo and very large pro-
portion Of these bonds are held in the Atlantic States
this amount disgorged by the Treasury would assist
materially in strengthening the specie lines of the
Banks.
