REPUBLICAN DEMONSTRATIONS.
Notwithstanding the compromising aspect Of
things there is likely to be decided Republican
demonstration here before mary days. There
woud have been a very emphatic expression Of
opinion by Republican Senator's on the day OF
Mr.. Stewards speech on the New-lork petition,
but for the fact that Mr.. Mason was awarded
the floor instead of Mr.. Fcsseuden. II cannot
be long postponed Gov. Chase arrived this

THE NEW-ORIEANs MINT.
Great indignation is felt at the seizure and
robbery of the Mint ia New Orleans by the Sc
cessionEts. Gen. Dix gave the Adams Express
an order ten DAYS ago to draw S35O,OOO OF
$3.50 90 Of silver bullion and coin in the hands
of the sub-Treasurer That officer feigned some
excuse for dckay, when the Express agent pro-
posed to take part of it at once, as the whole
amount weighed niuc tuns, and would require
five or six days for transportation. This sug-
gcstion was declined, and on Friday he was in
formed that the State authorities had appropri-
ated the Mint aud money Gen. Dix tclegraphei
to the Sub-Trcasurer yesterday, after receiving
this ntehgence, to have it verified officially.
There is no doubt Of collision between Federal
and State officers, ard the robbery is believed To
have been advised from here.
TIE REVENUE CCTIIRS.
An agent fiom the Treasury Department was
recently dispatched 10 Mobile ard Ncw.Orleans
with instructions 10 save the two Revenue cnt-
tiers at those pcsnts, if possible. The Lewis Cass
was at Mobile, and he probably reached there
too late, as she is reported to have been taken.
The Robert McCloliand, tie finest cutter in tie
service, was near Ncw.Orleans when the agent
aartcd. As no confidence was placed in her
captain, Gen. DiXs instructions required the
first lieutenant 10 assume command and ii the
the agent reached bis destination in time to com.
munnate wah tho cutter, she is probably saved
b. the G0enmeut, otherwise she has doubtless
been betrayed, AFTER ko example at Charleston.
TIDE DUTY IN SUGAR.
There is strong disposition 90 repeal the duty
on sugar, which gives twcnty.lour per cent pro-
lection TO State in open rebellion against the

n year or two, until Louisiana returns to her al
leeiancc. When this item was before the Special
TaHff Committee OF the Senate Messrs. Hunter
ard Owls who had not attended any of the meet
ings, were brought in by Mr.. Bigler and voted
10 retain the protection, though both are free
traders. Tie cOnspirators are for making the
most out Of The government they are plotting to
overthrow. This duty must be repealed

Col. lIayne made bis formal communication to
the President yesterday. So far from demanding
the surrender of Fort Sumter as the ultimatum,
the tone is quite pacific and conciliatOry. Gov.
Pickcns and the State authorities do not desire
collision, and have excrled their influence 10 pre-.
vent il. The outside pressure is for fight, but
this rcckessness has been restrained by those
who know that it would involve large loss of
life without accomplishing the object. Fort sum-
