The Dubuque Telegraph says:
"Thc Republican papers of Iowa
seem to be determined that we shall
belong to the Republican party" In
behalf of one of the papers alluded
to, we enter a disclaimer to this
egotistical assumption. We have
no anxiety in the matter. But five
may be allowed to express an opin-
ion, i is that Mr.. Mahony is making
hlmselfsupremely ridiculous by his
painful esorts to induce somebody
to invite him into the Republican
ranks. Like an aged spinster
whose charms have lost their
power, he is pcrkins and ogling, and
sending out coy signals, and by
every arti6ce of mature coquetry
trying to draw out proposal from
the Republican party, hoping that
the nuptials, like those of his friend
Gen. Jones, may 60 off with some
eclat. Still the ancient belle waits
and sends her unavailing signs up.

The next session Of Congress should
not como to an adjournment withsut
passing q bill for the appropriation OF
enough moneys TO make the requisite
extensions to the Carson Mint. The ca
pacities Of that institution ought to be
doubled. Indeed, four times the pres
emit capacity would be none too much.
The building Is not q monument to the
genius Of the late supervising architect,
Mr.. Mullstt. II Is cramped. inconveni-
emily arranged and not well adapted to
the handling Of the materials which are
used in the various departments OF a
Mint. In more than one case the work.
men OF one department are obliged TO
enter and pass through rooms set apart
for other departments In order to get 70
their work. The appropriations for this
Mint have always been dolsd out in drib-
blets. Here all hands are necessarily
ovsrworksd, for the dimensions OF the
building are such that the requisite
force cannot be maintained. In other
words, the Carson Mint is altogether too
small for the work that ID required OF II.
Here Ia q workshop for reducing the
