CARSON CITY, July 81, 1874.
Mr. EDIrOR = This lovely town has been
much exercised during the present week over
certain removals, made by the Superintend-
ent of the Mint. Many of the good people
think an outrage has been committed, by this
act of the Superintendent. Upon making APP
pIication of the proper authority, I find these
removals were made for cause, and recon-
mended by the Treasury Agents, sent out from
Washington to investigate matters. The Chief
Clerk was not considered competent for the
position he held, being too old fogy, and lack
ing in business qualifications, thereby causing
delay and hindrance in Mint affairs.
The Business Clerk was charged with ma
ligning the character of one of the executive
officers; while the third person discharged was
guilty of characterization. This seems to be
as nearly correct an explanation OF the whole
matter as l can obtain.
While at the Mint observed that all the
operatives were very busy working from ten
to twelve hours daily. occasioned by the great
demand for trade-dollars. This state OF affairs
will continue for some six weeks longer.

sons employed in the various departments,

The Comptroller says: "If Congress
should provide for the Withdrawal of legal
tender notes, and the issue Of National Bank
| notes as needed in the place thereof, when the
amount of legal-tender notes should be re-
duced to, say, S300,000,0O0 the legal tender
notes would then be in demand, and in pro-
portion as they should be reduced in amount
the demand for them would increase, until
finally, when the amount of bank notes
issued should be largely in excess of
the amount of legal-tender notes out
standing, the National Bank notes would
| themselves be withdrawn at certain seasons
OF the year, on account of the difficulty or
expense of obtaining lawful money with
| which to redeem them. The gold coin of the
country would then make its appearance in
answer to the demand for an additional
amount for lawful money, and specie payment
| would follow. Redemption in the proper
sense implies the exchange of promise to
pay for the thing promised, namely coin, or
its representative, which is convertible into
coin on demand. The effect of such redemp
ton is to contne banks of issue to a legit-
innate business, which is the discounting of
commercial paper. If banks of issue are
obliged to pay their circulating notes once in
sixty or ninety days they must discount such
promissory notes only will certainly be
paid within that time. If the payment of
bank-notes be frequently demanded, banks
of issue cannot safely invest their capital in
real-estate loans, in doubtful stocks or bonds
IN accommodation notes which require re-
newal, or in loans on doubtful security, but
must have their capital at all times invested
in loans which will oe promptly paid at ma.
turity. Such condition indicates a health;
ful business, and promotes sound banking.
and the reduction of the amount of legal
tender notes, accompanied with such increase
OF National Bank notes as may be required,

render free banking practicable, and gradual.
~ restore specie payments without necessarily
decreasing the amount of the circulating me-
dunn
Several amendments to the existing banking
laws ale recommended, and the Comptroller
renews the recommendations contained
IN his last two reports for the passage OF an
act TO prevent the issue and circulation of un.
authorized currency, and requiring the words
counterfeit" ALTERED" illegal" to be
stamped on all counterfeit or unauthorized
issues; also his recommendation for the re-
peal OF the fourth section of the act of June |,
