The prOprieJy Of increasing the amount
OF ten-dOlia- gold pieces IL sug gested for
the consideration Of the secretary Of the
treasury. The director sDeaBs 1t length
of the course Of gold and silver during
the last three years, s=ying that mOBe-
tsry troubles have not been caused by
insufficient supplies OF gold, but by its
having been withheld in large sums
from circulation, and the diminished
use OF silver IS money. The new coin
age system of Germany is mentioned as
one of the chief causes, and the delay in
its completion is attributed mainly TO
nelghbOring countries, or practically
closing what is expected would be the
best and largest marRet for silver. The
manufacture of the new standard Of "a
tlonal coins has already amounted to
about S2S5 600 600. The coins, however,
have not gone into the general cirCua-
ton to thu extent originally expected,
for the reason that the old standard OF
silver coins, which are inferior in value,
continue, under the provisions Of the
new monetary law, to be effective
money in payments. Gold has, there
fore, to large extent been held in the
vaults OF the imperial treasury, minis

into effect throughout the entire empire
on the first Of JsnusTy, 1876, in accord
ance with an imperial decree of Seytem-
Der p, 1875, which would appear to indi-
cate the employment, at an early day,
more decided measures than heretofore
for the withdrawal of depreciatsd legal
tender silver coins. When the complete
withdrawal Of these deprecated silver
coins shall have been accomplished, gold
will enter freely into the channels of Cir
culatiOn, and money affairs resume their
usual course. The sooner the German
monetary reform now in progress is
completed, and the Bank OF France re-
sumes specie payments, the better it will
he for Germany, France and the United
States. The time fixed for resump-
ton in France is January, 1878,
but it is probable it will take place be-
fore the time specified. Whenever the
German empire shall have its great
monetary reform well under way, and
France sets free her immense specie re-
serve, the active demand for gold will no
doubt cease, and the United states may
then safely undertake the acquisition of
q sufficient stock Of coin for the resump-
ton Of specie payment.

A Funny THING.

The organization, or reorganization OF
great political party, or branch of it,
is a funny thing; a good joke, you know,
something TO laugh at as you do at the
quips and crSuks Of the Big Bonanza.
And yet, funny as some folks think it,
il is g serious business st last, at least in
its results to the people. So many of
them think, judging by the frequency
with which they indulge in it. The
Democracy Of Memphis are just now
seriously contemplating that sort of fun,
and SO do the Republicans Of. Indiana, as
we infer by a telegram from Indianapo-
lie, which says that at a meeting Of the
Republican State central committee, on
Tuesday evening, held in that city, the
following official call for a Republican
State convention.wss promulgated:
The Republicans of IRdiana are invited to
meet in delegate convention in the city of In
dianapOlis, at the Academy of Music, at ten
O'Clock, tuesday, February 2, 1876, TO give eX-
preston to their political faith and purposes,
and TO nominate candidates tor governor
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, secretary, auditor and
treasurer Of state, attorney-general, four
supreme court, and superintendent of public
instruction, to be chosen on the second Tues
day IN October, 1876; also, to select delegates
20 the next National Republican convention,
and fifteen Presidential electors, to be chosen
on the first Tuesday in November, 1876.
That may read very funny to some
people who care nothing for principle or
party, but 10 us it is very'serious mat
ter. Instead of exciting a laugh, it
prompts Us TO renewed energy for the
party to whose support We are pledged,
because it is the only psrty to which the
people can look with certainty to defeat
the Radicals and third.termers. The
Republicans Of Indiana are early in the
field, but that will count rather for than
against them, and, we hope, will serve
the good purpose to put the Democracy
Of all the States on the qui ViUe for the
supreme moment" in 1876

Annual Report of Director of the Mint.
WASHINGTON, November PA

WASHINGTON, November 24-rhe
annual report of the director Of the mint
shows coinage of gold, $33, 553, 1865; sill
yer, $4,000, 1858; minor pieces, $3.50 375 /;
total S43 S54, 70S. The deposits were
gold, S3S, $50. 1913; silver, SIS, 070, 626. Adj
ditiODsI vaults are required in the tresS.
uTy offices in the various parts OF the
country for the storage OF silver coin. In
view of the contemplated resumption Of
specie payment, an addition to the
assaying facilities of the New Orleans
mint, is suggested. The director says:
The two year's yield of the mines will,
it is probable, furnish sufficient silver to
manufacture all the fractional currency
coin that can be advantageOusly used ia
the country. After the redemption Of
fractional notes by the trade, dollar
coinage should be continued, If for no
other purpose than to make local mar
ket for silver. The purchase OF silver
bullion from January IA to October
81, 1875, amounted to S., 349, 747, at an
average price, with the refining charge
added for done bullion of one dollar,
eleven cents and four mills per ounce;
standard coinage rate OF fractional silver
coins being one dollar, twenty-four cents
and four mills Iper. standard ounce. The
seiginorsge or gain on its coinage will be
thirteen cents per ounce, or about twelve
per cent. Total expenditure attending
the manufacture Of the coinage Of the
last fiscal year (S43, S54, 708,) was
$3.50, so, or about 80 per cent. of the
expense OF maintaining the fractional
currency. In this estimate the seigniorege
realized on the silver and minor coin
