Ceremony OF the Pyx.


Among the many curious old official oh
seTVanees eXac5cd by the English Govern
mcnt, is the ceremony OF the pyX, or box,
which WAS duly enacted on the 10Th ult.,
in the presence OF the Lord Chancellor and
other high ttnctiOnaI les of the Office of the
Controller General, in the palace yard, Lon
don. Il or many years this has been done
simply because If is an immortal usage, the
reason ior which it was Instituted having
long since passed away. The box is a plain
iron safe divided into three compartments,
two for silver and one Tor gold. 1t is Sc
cured hy three intricate locks, each of
which is opened hyta different 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 a Year The method of examination is as
follows;
The mass of gold and silver coin is rolled
under heavy pressure into two ingotS, the
metal of each being completely mingled and
welded together. A piece is then cut OFT
from the end of each iugot, and rolled into
long and marrow plate about the thickness
Of Il shilling. A number of small pieces are
then cut from each plate, and carefully
weighed. Zach piece is then placed i'll a
small bottle fixed in hot sand baths, and
tiIled with acid enough to extract and dis
. HOlNt tlit AMY. ltt lliIC SpIu dtiiu OH
yer remaining is then accurately de
termined, and thus the alloy i'll the whole
coinage OF the realm determined. This trial
is CONDUCTED before jury, summoned by
I the WaglicnS of the Goldsmith's Company
in presence of the Queens Privy Council
and other Ggnitaies, The jury having
witnessed the process. take time to consider
and deliver taeir verdict on the succeeding
evening, in the Goldsmith's Hall. The time
has been when all this cumbroiis precaution
had some show ofrraS0u. In the days when
he tests oi alloy and the air of coinage were
less perfect than at present, and when the
mint master may have had some temptation
To dc5aSe the coin it is probable that the
solemn oath Required Of the juryInau aud
the strict observance of-ths examination
were not ont of place. The custom is grad
ually wearing out, ami though like most
,fhscFvanceS out of which the real signiH
c;ulca has gone il dies hard, few more
years viii GoahtlesS see it abolished The
iiI~; statutory mention IN regard to it is an
act of the first year OF Edward III, which
diryc;sit to be done according to ancient
ciatom" The last observance prior to this
ri the 10th uIt." was in 1851.

The Presidents Veto-The Opinion o
the Press thereon.
New. YORK. March 9$

New YORK, March 2S.
In commenting upon the President s
veto, the Herald says: Its objections
on constitutional grounds exhibit this
Civil Rights Bill as involving the most
fragrant devices for overriding the reser-
we'd rights of the States in their Legisla-
lures and judicial tribunals ever attempt
ed in Congress. We had supposed this
bill in anew shape, sort of reproduction
of the old fugitive slave law, but under
the searching analysis of Andrew John
son, it appears a hundred times worse
than the Freedmen's Bureau experiment,
and nothing less than bill OF unconsti-
tutional aboRiination from beginning to
end. The objections submitted against
the first section of the bill, however, are
those which marx the impossible barrier
between him and the ruling radicals OF
Congress. The veto is in fact an emphat-
ic declaration of war against the Radicals
and Their reconstruction system, root and
branch. Henceforward there can be no
party endorsements Of the policy of Con-
gress coupled with professions Of adhe-
sion to the policy Of the Administra-
ton"
The YriJanc says: I" Let US thank Mr.
Johnson that his veto is SO sweeping.
lie might have phrased it more cunning
ly, but he has chosen to let us know that
it is not this particular bill that has pro
voked his opposition, but that any meas
ures whereby Congress shall attempt to
protect the Southern blacks against white
abuse and oppression must encounter his
determined and deadly opposition
The Times says: but we venture to
think that few state papers have ever been
given to the world that will so thorough
ly compel the attention of thinking men.
The analysis of the details is Of SO keen
and searching character, the logic so ir-
resistible, that we should hope even the
strongest advocates of the measure will
see how vastly important it is that such
important constitutional power should be
entrusted to President endowed with
Judgment, discretion and uncommon cour-
age"
