Spanish and Mexfcan small Coin'

We have noticed the movement among rctau
traders in New York, against the small Mexican
aud Spanish coins quarters. ninepences and six
and qrarter cents. We hope 1t twin become gen
eral, that the country win be rid of them alto
rether. and the currency brought completely 10
the simple and easy decimal system. There is no
law making these coins legal tender A law,
however, Is pending in Congress, the object of
which is to authorize their reception At the post
Office as fellows % cents, at 90 cents; ~ cents,
at 10 cents; and g. cents. at 5 cents. When once
in the hands of the government officers, they are
not to be re- issued but sent to the mint to be re-
coined Holders Of such coin. however, are not
compelled to sacrifice them for lees than their in
trinsic value. Whenever they are by common
consent es.imsted At the standard of our decimal
coins, which they exceed ia real value, of course
they will be gathered together and taken to the
mint, where they will be received by weight and
the due amount Of American coin issued In their
stead It would be well to get rid of the old worn
and defaced change which is now so abundantly
scattered through the country, causing much an
uoyance to the retail business.
