circulation, has been the large pur'
chases of silver bars at from three
to seven per cent. discount, deposit
ing the same for coinage, and put

general circulation throughout the
coast. To prevent such specula-
tons the government might pur-
chase bullion and coin trade dollars
ON governme mt account in the same
manner as half dollars and dimes
are now coined. Probably the best
way to meet this question would be
for our merchants ia declare that
silver shall be received as legal
tender in any amount, thus making
our product the legitimate circulat-
ing medium of the coast.

CARSON, Feb. 9.-In the State

Board as regards paying the expen-

At one o'clock the Board took a
recess. On reassembling the ex-

What the South Intend to Do.
COMMUNICATED.

NoMhoSASAAHD'
1t is no doubt the intention of the
South to endeavor to get majority
in both Houses of Congress to elect
q Democratic President and to abro-
gate the reconstruction laws, make
payment of the rebel war debt, and
practically re-enslave the negro by
rendering infamous the idea Of
negro citizenship.
The North thoroughly under
stand the present drift of things,
and is not so abject as to permit it,
as was seen in Blaine's recent speech
upon the amnesty question.
We are told all this is mere SEN
sationalism; that we must take these
Southerners at their word; that we
should set quietly with folded
hands and closed mouths while they
proclaim their determination to re-
verse the decision of the war, and to
gain, first the power, and then by
"blood" or Legislation to compel q
return. to the constitution of our
fathers and to force the ruin. finsn-
,ially of the North. One thing is
morally certain, We must either sub
nit or protect ourselves at the ballot

CIR SAN FRANCISCO LETTER.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 8.

DAN hh[NNAoto1 - W.
DEAR TIMEs:-The weather is fine
and things look up little. Stocks
however, hang their heads ard prob
ably will till spring, when the hope
full say they will 60 up booming;
but as forlorn woman who has no
stocks, and who doesn't want any,
let us venture an opinion. If
WILLIAM RALsTON
Was living and money plenty, It
might be that the Bank of California
would offer facilities to manipulators
to start things going. As it is, too
MANY have been involved in pecuni-
airy difficulties by this failure to
make them anxious about anything
but extricating themselves from their
present dilemma, and are trying to
turn around, to the neglect OF stocks.
When they will be tolerably easy in
their minds in regard to their own
condition, then look out for smiling
faces and big bonanzas.
The rumor Of the sale of the
PALACE HOTEL
To Flood and O'Brien was currently
reported without, it seems as yet,
foundation. The fact that Sharon is
selling off his other real estate has,
perhaps, given rise to the rumor' but
it is more probable that he has done
so to raise funds to carry on the
Palace than anything else. This in
stitution is now paying expenses and
interest, i1 is said, there being on an
average about six hundred steady
residents.
SNOWFLAKE
Is to be continued another week at
the Opera House and Mrs. Waller
appears in Macbeth "Romeo and
Juliet" and other performances of
kindred nature at the California.
There is dearth of private amuse-
ments in all directions, everybody
taking advantage of the dizziness of
the times to avoid the expense as
we'll as trouble.
People are looking forward to the
Centennial Ball as we'll as to the ac-
tual coming Centenning at Philadel-
phia by way of diversion. The ball
was gotten up by committee of
ladies to advance the cause of Cen
tennial stock selling, which had
come to standstill. They had be-
come responsible for considerable
stock, and having disposed Of but a
small quantity, concluded upon Civ
ing ball to assist them. The stock
is $40 a share, in greenbacks, and
the tickets are $40, in gold, the diff
ference between the gold and the
greenbacks to pay the expenses of
the ball without supper, which is to
be extra, and each holder of ticket
is to have share of stock and a GER
tificate.
THE EASTERN LADIES
Have managed to sell a good deal OF
stock for the benefit of the woman's
department of the exhibition, and
the California ladies are not willing
to be behind them. By the ball they
are in hopes to sell about $4,000
worth of stock, and if the stock does
not result in bonanza to each hold
er Of shares, it will at least express
patriotism through the certificate
which can be transmitted to the hold
ers of the same for the next Centen.
NAL if no other result is obtained
from it.
THE ELEMENTS OF UNTRUTH

MINT MATTERS.


ON Appropriations contemplated
urging reduction of the number of
U. 8. MINIS throughout the United
States instead of building a new one,
or adding to the coming capacities
of those desiring such additions. In
fact, they deem two MINIS, one at
Philadelphia and the olher at San
Francisco, as sufficient to de all the
coming necessary. We are OF the
opinion that this is retrenchment on
the "penny wise and pound foolish
system, and as the committee are re-
ported to be composed Of principally
hard money men, an incongruity APP
pears to exist between their preaching
and practicing. One of the reasons
they give is that the coming capaci-
ties Of these two Minis (the Phila-
delphia and San Francisco) are
$125, 000,O 900 and the capacity of the
country is but $50, 100000 This we
deem false estimate as regards the
mineral production or capacities OF
the Pacific coast. The yield of gold
and silver in California for 1875 was
800, 900, 900, while the coinage of the
San Francisco Mint for that year was
$50, 089, 900. According to the most
reliable data at hand, the yield of
Nevada for 1875 was $40,479,369,
making total Of the two States, not
including the Territories, Oregon,
British Columbia or Mexico, OF
$3.50, AIS, $685., 479, 1853, beyond the
reputed capacity of the two MINIS
mentioned. This, we believe, is SUI
fcient to prove their mistake as to
the yield of this coast, and also
shows that the desired enlargement
asked by Superintendent Crawford
and LAGRANGE is based upon actual
necessity, and to abolish our branch
Mint would be greater stroke Of
folly than has yet characterized the
present Congress, whose principal
features have been loud talk and
misery foolish rstrenchn,ents. The
necessity for our Mint will steadily
increase year after year. The eastern
portion of Nevada's immense mineral
belt has never appeared as promising
as at present /; explorations are
being conducted more extensively
and systematically than before, and
we may expect large dividends
from that section during the present
year. In 1875 the Eureka CONSOLE
dated and Northern Bell paid in
dividends 800, 900 and the Con.
Virginia s12, 300, 900. while the
amount calculated as our State
yield for 1876 is $50, 1000, 900. Ex-
perts estimate there being within
the limits Of the California mine
100000, 900. This does not in
clude the many mines with pros
pective dividends, and we are as
sured that ere 1877 dawns several
will be added to the list. In our
own County of Lyon there is
shipped to the Carson Mint on an
average SO. 500 in gold every month,
and We have q hundred undevel-
oped mines which only need energy
and capital to bring them to the
front. The Buckeye, Cosmopoli-
tan, Silver City and others. have
Yielded handsomely in that precious
metal, and will do SO again, when
the proper machinery is erected
and developments made. We have
NO space to further argue this sub
iect, but We believe enough has been
said 70 prove the actual necessity Of
the desired enlargement of our State
Mint, and we sincerely hope Supt.
Crawford will succeed in establish.
ing our claim TO all We want.

THE ELEMENTS OF uNTRUTH


Are evidently at work somewhere in
the church called Plymouth, whether
in the teachings of the pastor which
have corrupted his congregation or
in the pastor himself. Good seed
bringeth forth good fruit, and after
q long and laborious ministry, if
nothing better can be found than
fraud and conspiracy as the results,
it is time Mr.. Beecher retired from
his labors and gave someone else the
chance to re-convert those who have
been his converts and make them
into honorable citizens, if not good
Christians. In either case, in our
opinion, it is time Mr.. Beecher
stepped down and out.
