The proposed bill authorizes the issue, as at pre-
sent, of the three and five cent nickel coins, and in
addition a one cent piece OF the same material.
These coins made redeemable in lawful money
in sums of fifty dollars, and are legal tender in
sums of twenty cents in any one payment. The
proposed cent coin will be one and one half grains
in weight, little heavier and little larger than
the present five cent silver piece, which, together
with the three cent piece, is discontinued. The
copper and bronze coins, heretofore authorized,
are exchangeable for the copper nickel coins.
They will, therefore, gradually pass out of circula-
material and of uniform value A suggestion was
made to authorize the issue of but single coin in
addition to the gold and silver coinage now in exist
ence, that piece to be Of one cent, into which all
other token coins should be exchangeable; but the
present copper nickel coins are con convenient and
them, but to provide for their redemption, and the
discontinuance of the issue when redundant
The present law authorizes allowance to the
melter and refiner of two ounces of wastage on
every thousand ounces of bullion manipulated; to
the coner, one and one-half ounces on every thou
sand ounces of gold, and two ounces every thou
sand ounces of silver manipulated. In the pro-
posed bill the allowance is reduced nearly one
half the melter and rener being allowed one thou
sandth on gold and one and one half thousandth
on silver; and the coiner, one-half of one thou
sandth on gold, and one and one-half thousandth
on silver. Experience in the mints and assay
Offices for some years past has shown that the pre-
sent allowance is excessive and that not one-tfth
Of the amount is required. The propriety of a re-
duction is therefore evident.

Secretary in the year 1866, which exhibited large
differences in the accounts of the coiner and the
treasurer, which could have easily been traced TO
the responsible party, If the different cers of the
Mint had been required, in their transfers of bull
lion, TO take and receive the ordinary receipts
required in business transactions.
During the present year the examinations which
have been made by direction, into the affairs
of the branch mints at San Francisco, at Denver,
and of the assay Office in New York have disclosed
other Irregularities, resulting in large losses to the
government, which might easily have been pre-
vented by periodical examinations conducted by
competent persons.
IL is not proposed in the present bill to increase
encourage the refining of gold and silver bullion by
private parties, and to authorize, under proper
regulations, the exchange of impaired bars for
fined bullion, thus reducing the expense and un-
ayoidable wastage consequent upon that process.
1t s well understood upon the Pacific coast that
private parties can refine bullion at much less
rate than the Mint. This is owng in the first place.
TO the fact that private parties can use the sui
phuric acid process, which Is much cheaper than
the nitric acid process of the Mint and, secondly
chiefly in gold when 1t Is absolutely necessary that
there should be two parts of silver mixed with
part of gold in solution, in order successfully to
part the one from the other The Mint must,
therefore, purchase silver to be used for this
pose, and use, at a loss, "a much larger amount of
acid than is necessary for the manipulation of the
bullion deposited. Private re6ners have too much
silver, the Mint too little; exchange can, there
fore, take place beneficial to both parties, without
the slightest risk to the government, and with a
contingent benefit TO the miner and the depositor
a few examples Will demonstrate the fact that
bullion is, as have before stated, of greater
mercal value in our markets for export, than for
coinage at the Mint. An imported stamped bar

Fourth EpistIo to Paul.

MIR. EDITOR: In my last promised to
inform my young friend Paul, who
thoughtlessly permits himself to be used
as the monkey used the cat, to pull the
chesnuts out of the FIRE, 10 show here
what ho calls the regular ticket was
evoked from the Convention of the 23d
and 24th July. But it will be better to
devote On epistle to an illustration of its
materials, before we proceed to the man
ner in which they were manipulated. AS
a specimen brick, then, of this puissant
body, we will select the delegation from
the Camp Ground precinct, about twelve
miles from Columbia. I state this upon
the authority of q gentleman of elevated
character, resident in the neighborhood,
an influential Republican, and q man
whose word or his bond needs no endor-
ser. Having consulted with the Repub-
licans of the vicinity, he informed one
Of the leaders of the Ring, in Columbia,
that they proposed holding their meet
ing at the Camp Ground precinct, for
the selection Of delegates to the State
Convention on the succeeding Saturday.
This was approved of by the individual
addressed, who promised that party
would attend from this city, accompanied
by speakers, music, Go. This was sup
posed to be the definite arrangement.
But two days previous to the time
designated my informant while riding
to the city, met o party of individuals,
among whom were those whose names
are now on. the so-oalled regular ticket
for Representatives. in the Legislature.
and ono other who expected to bo, who
were evidently making their way to the
Camp Ground. He was subsequently
informed by one of the parties that on
that occasion they had selected eight in
dividuals to represent the precinct in tho
Convention, and he ascertained after
wards that tho impression prevailed that
these political missionaries were acting
under tho authority of Council No. 10.
These gentlemen, thus authorized, ap-
pearcd with these credentials ut the Coun-
ty Convention, and were received into
full communion, and voted in tho form
alton of what is claimed as the regulo,
ticket and there is little doubt that every
precinct in tho county, except Colum-
bia and Gadsden. were represented i'll O
similar manner and by similar authority.
But enough for this epistle.

DEATH OF ROBERT LEBDY, NJ. D.-At
a late hour last evening we heard Of the
death Of DR.. Lebby, the city registrar,
who had for some time past been i'll with
typhoid fever. DR.. Lebby was an old
and well-known physician of our city.
He was for some years member Of the
City Council, and took espe ,ial interest
in the artesian we'll and the construction
Of the tidal drains, being, we believe. on
both of the committees appointed by
Council to take charge of these two en-
terprises. Previous to the war he had
been surgeon in the United States
army, and, at the time of his death, was
port physician for Charleston harbor.

EDITOR PHGN1x: The Republican has
q perfect horror of the old South Caro-
lima aristocracy, except in case where
q member Of the former aristocratic class
of the State happens to affiliate with the
radical party. in which case. the new con-
vert to radicalism is, rs q little five year
old of my acquaintance would express
it, "bunky hoody." It is greatly elated
at the political situation in Spartanburg,
rs represented by correspondent from
that County who takes cognomen from
the tail of the Greek alphabet Spartan
burg is to give majority Of $500 votes
for Scott and Ransier, which event is
unmistukably foreshndowed by the fact
that General Winsmith has given in his
adhesion to that ticket. Now, who is
this General Winsmith? Why, sir, if
the soil of tho Palmetto State ever gave
birth to an aristocrat, he is IN aristocrat
Of the first water. The son of one
who was q Judge of this State
when to be member of the
judiciary of the State meant some
thing worthy of the aspiration of
the States most gifted sons-this Gcno-
raj Winsmith repueliated the name
which he inherited from his noble sire,
and which that sire had never dishonor-
ed, for the simple reason, doubtless, that
the name was too pleabian-like, and pc
toned to the Legislature for the prlvi-
lego to consolidate two of the names
which his father had conferred upon
him, and thus make his namo Winsmith,
instead of simply Smith, that name Of ple-
blan caste and unpoetic sound. Now, sir, I
am not finding fault with the general (won-
der what brigade, division or corps he
commanded in tho late unpleasantness?)
for changing his name, for he had per-
feet right to do SO, after the Legislature
gave him permission; but I am simply
stating the fact, to show what tho gene
raj is in feeling, in order that tho public
may sec that the RepuJlicM, does not
object to aristocracy always, provided
the nristocrat does not happen to be an
opponent of radicalism. Who will sup
pose for moment that if ono of the
numerous John Smiths, with whom the
land abounds, had joined the radical
party the Republican would have said
q word about it? Even had the whole
batch who wear that euphoneous cog
nomen joined that party, we should
hardly have heard it from that organ of
the common people. But when General
Winsmith, who is really only Smith by
another name, gives in his adhesion, it
is heralded forth under the heading of
"good news from Spartanhnrg. The
general wants place "high up in
Heaven" politically speaking; but whe-
ther he will really Win or not. is n
mooted point. ALPHA.
