Among the many curious old official
observences exacted by the English Gov
ernment, IS the ceremony Of the pyx, or
box, which was duly enacted on the
nineteenth ultimo, in the presence of the
Lord Chancellor and other high func-
tlonaries al the Office Of the COMPTROLLER
General, in the palace yarJ, London.
For many years this has been done
simply because il is an immortal usage,
the reason for which it was instituted
having long since passed away. The box
is a plain iron safe divided into three COM
partmenUs, two Tor silver and one for
gold. 10 is secured by three intricate
locks, each Of which is opened by a differ
eut key. From each milling Of gold or
silver, specimen coins are deposited
through an aperture in the lid until the
box Is full. In former times this box
was much smaller than now, and the
ASSAY took place as often as four times in
year The method OF examination Is
as follows:
The mass OF gold and silver coin is
rolled under heavy pressure into two
mgots, the metal of each being COM
pletely mingled and welded together. A
piece is then cut of from the end Of each
ingot, and rolled into a long and narrow
plate about the thickness of q shilling.
A number of small pieces are then cut
from each plate, and carefully weighed.
Each piece is then placed in a small bot
tie fixed in hot sand baths, and filed with
acid enough To extract aud dissolve the
alloy, The fine gold and silver remain
ing is then accurately determined, and
thus the alloy in the whole coinage Of
the realm determined. This trial is con-
Quoted before a jury, summoned by the
Wardens Of lhs Goidsmith's Company,
in presence OF the Queens Privy Council
and other dignitaries. The jury having
witnessed the process, take time 10 CON
slider, and deliver their verdict on the
succeeding evening, ia the Goldsmlthis
Hall. The time has been when all this
cum brous precaGtiOn bad some show Of
reason. In the days when the tests Of
alloy and the art Of coinage was less per-
feet than at present, and when the mint
master may have had temptation TO de-
base the coin, il is probable that the
solemn oath required Of the jOurheyman
and the strict observance Of this examin-
alton were not out Of place. The custom
Is gradually wearing out and though
Ike most Observances out Of which the
real Significance has gone, il dies hard,
few more years will doubtless see 10
abolished The first statuaTy mention IN
regard 70 It is in an act OF the first year Of
EDWARD ia whioh directs IL to be done
according 10 ancient CUSTOM The

THE FREEDMEN's BUREAU ON TIIF
RAMPAGE IN EgENTUCUW


The Mercer Bonner Of Friday last cites
the following recent case of military in
reference with the civil authority oi
Harrodsburg: Mr.. Poor was few days
since arrested upon charge Of murder
He was brought before Hon. ThOs. Ed
wards, Presiding Judge of the Mercer
County Court for trial, on Friday, Feb
ruary the second. The Commonwealth
not being ready for trial, asked contin-
uance by its attorney, J. B. T. Daviess,
until the next day, Saturday, February
the third.
The Court met at ten O'Clock, Febru-
ary the third, to proceed with the exam
nation. The defendent having been
committed to the care of II. James, the
Sheriff of Mercer county, was brought
into Court by his Deputy. Just at this
moment Captain VIM. Go0dloe, OF the
1 Freedmen's Bureau, made his appearance
/ in Court, accompanied by an officer COM
mandiug a detachment of United States
colorad trOOps. A number of the troops
/ were left outside Of the court room as a
I guard. Captain Goodloe handed to the
officer commanding the detachment an
order, of which the following is copy:
HARRousBURe, KY, Feb. 3, 1865
Z officer Commanding Detachment, harTodsburg:
You will at once relieve the civil au-
thoritles of tisc person of James Poor, ar
rested by them 70, the murder Of a color
ed man on the line, or near the line, Of

ment at Camp Nelson. The charges, etc,

troops, and in a few moments he was on |
his way 10 Camp Nelson. So far as the /
personal conduct Of Capt. GoodlOe and 1
the officer commanding the detachment
IS concerned, il was unexceptiOnable.
The court having been relieved of the
person OF Poor, made no order in his case.
The whole amount of the proceedings
in this case is this A white man is ar
rested upon the charge of having killed
a negro man, and brought before the civil
authorities of the State for trial. Whilst
in the charge of the Sheriff, and in the
presence of the Court, he is, by order of
the Freedmen's Bureau, taken from the
civil authorities and sent TO Camp Nell

ever signalized his devotion 70 the Union

the contemplation Of common trials,
common victories, and national tradi-
