TROUBLE AT THE MINT AMONG THE REPUB-
LICAN OFMcTAIs.-We hear Of another row
at the Mint. 1t appears that Mr.. Cheesman
the Sub-Treasurer, claims the authority to
make certain appointments which have
hitherto been under The control Of the Su-
perintendent. One of these appointments
is that of Cashier, trust of great response
bility and importance. Yesterday, TO the
surprise of every one, two sets of officers
stared each other in the face, with no um-
pire nearer than Washington TO settle their
conflicting claims.
The advent of the Republicans TO power
in the Mint has been anything but auspi-
cious The unseemly quarrels which have
occurreeblre 10y no means favorable augu-
ries of future wise management of that
institution. Did we not know that the
leading appontees are men of position and
responsibility, we might very naturally be
led TO suppose that neither Of them had ev-
err seen a twenty-dollar piece before in his
life, and was suffering from undue excite
ment while gazing at the glittcring treas
ures, almost fabulous In amount which lie
on deposit subject to his care. In the mat
ter Of the little embrOglio Of yesterday, Mr..
Stevens, the Superintendent of the Mint, is
clearly in the right. The law is on his side
and his action is in accordance with in-
structious received from the last Secretary
of the Treasury, aud Col. Snowden, of the
Mint at Philadelphia. 1t is his imperative
duty to make the appointments, for the Of
flee is, in part, intended by the law TO be a
check upon the other.--[S. f. Herald.

ALPACAs FOR CALIFORNIA.--A California
agriculmrist cOntempates importing a
number of Alpacas into this State which
are to be located on ranch 10 Napa county.
The originator of this idea is confident that
the animals may be successfully reared in
this climate, aud that the same soil and cli-
mate which is advantageous for sheep will
be favorable for the Alpaca. The animal is
a native Of Bolivia and Peru, where il is
used as a beast Of burthen. but is especially
valued for its long wool, from which is
manufactured the alpaca cloth II the raw
material can be produced here, it is the
first step towards manufacturing it, which
may thus add another important branch to
our industrial pursuits. If the project
should prove successful, it cannot fail to re-
suit in a great benefit TO the State. II is
more likely. however, that the wool will be
shipped to England and the Eastern States.
The Alpaca is hardy, patient and beauti-
ful animal, and might be eventually used
for packing in the upper and more inacces-
sible Sierras.-[ Alta.
