FROM THE CAPITAL!


CARSON, August Is, 1874.
EDITOR TIMES Not anything OF
moment has transpired in this quiet
town for the past three weeks, if l
might except the semi-judicial trial
of the present Meter and Refiner OF
the United States Mint.
1t appears that Andrews, the late
Meter and Refiner, preferred
charges against his successor, which
were of such serious character
none other than that of stealing,
that the Secretary of the Treasury
delegated a Treasury agent, now
here, Professor Schiermer, of the
Denver mint, to investigate these
allegations of fraud.
The examination was had before
Judge Hillyer, of the United States
Supreme Court, and resulted in a
complete failure of Andrews to sub
stantiate his charges. The whole
matter seems to have been originated
by recently discharged employees,
circulating malicious reports OF
peculation, using Andrews as their
cats-paw. Upon the conclusion Of
the examination, the Professor de-
cided that no fraud existed, nor was
even attempted, and that the present
Meter and Refiner's department
was as honestly and well conducted
as any in the United States.
We learn, to-day, of the resigna-
ton of Superintendent Hetrick, OF
the Mint, and the appointment of
Jim Crawford, of Dayton, your
neighbor, clever man and deserv-
ing. As Senator Jones was at Clev-
Gland yesterday, and will arrive here
in a day or two, we shall learn as to
the truth fulness or otherwise of the
report.
Politics are boiling somewhat, and
there is the usual pulling and haul
ing for the lucrative positions.
With the exception of the writer,
all citizens | meet with seem willing
to serve their dear country.
Sharon is expected from the lake
this evening, when probably some
things will be lively. His chances
are certainly stronger here than are
those of any other person as yet
named. He has probably the ablest
workers enlisted in his favor that
can be found anywhere, and nay
impressions are, they will carry the
