WASHINGTON, April 22.-The majority Of
the House Committee on Coinage. Weights
and Measures are strongly inclined to rec
| ommend that the Carson Mint be abolished
and its machinery removed to some point
in the Mississippi Valley. 1t appears that,
in view Of the urgent efforts Of the Repre-
sentatives Of several Western cities to pro-
cure the establishment Of a new mint at
some Of their respective localities, the
committee asked Director Burchard if any
| additional mint was needed. In reply he
| said the Government had already sufficient
coming facilities, but they we're seemingly
not we'll distributed, for he had found it
| impossible to obtain enough silver bullion
at San Francisco, at London prices, to keep
the San Francisco Mint running to the de-
sired capacity, and at Carson City he could
hardly obtain any bullion at the proper
prices. Thus it happened that, while the
Philadelphia Mint was crowded, the San
Francisco Mint was running at only half
it's capacity and the Carson Mint doing
nothing. The friends Of st. Louis ON the
committee then suggested that ii would
be a good thing to provide for the coinage
Of Colorado and New Mexico bullion at st.
Louis. by bringing to that point the Carson
Mint machinery, and Director Burchard is
not reported to have expressed any objec-
tons to the proposition, although, at the
same time, it is not claimed that he ex-
pressed himself in its favor. Representa-
tive Daggett, learning Of this movement
to-day, has demanded an opportunity to
be heard by the committee in regard to it,
and he and Senator Jones will of course
earnestly oppose it. Daggett has written
to Secretary Sherman a series of questions,
designed to elicit the reasons why the ex-
pertinent Of purchasing bullion at Carson
at San Francisco rates has not heretofore
been tried, and is entirely confident that
the experiment now ordered will prove to
be successful and satisfactory.
The Georgia Republican Row.
ATLANTA. April 22.--The Republican
Convention was in great disorder all day.
Several exciting scenes occurred and the
same confusion as yesterday continued.
The Chair appointed a committee to NOM
mate delegates to Chicago, in spite of the
protests of the Grant men. While the
committee was out, the colored leaders
raised an issue that they had not been &C.
corded their rights in the party, and car
ried a resolution that three-fourths OF the
Chicago delegation be colored, and that the
same proportion be observed in the Re-
publican patronageinGeorgia. The commit
tees report did not agree with their resolu-
ton, and it was therefore tabled until to-
morrow, when all but five men will be
stricken from the delegation. Grant may
get some votes, but the Sherman and
Blaine men have control of the conven-
ton.
Victims Of h Missouri Cyclone.
ST. Louis, April 22.-Telegrams from
Marshfeld announce that less excitement
is prevailing. The dead are being buried,
and the carcasses Of dead animals are being
hauled away. The best information is that
81 collins have been used, and there will be
probably four more deaths tonight. Lear
Evans. Cora Cripman and D. D. Smith and
his three children nave died since the last
report. The list Of wounded embraces
nearly the whole town, and so or more are
seriously hurt, many Of whom will die.
Many Of the dead are children and negroes,
whose names cannot be ascertained. The
State provides tents, and the towns Of Mis-
souri, and Texas send provisions enough for
the present. There are now 63 wounded
in the public school buildings, who are re-
ceiving the best care possible, but it is
thought they should be taken to some
other place, where they can receive better
attention.
The New York Split.
SYRACUSE, April 20.-The Tilden Con-
vention finished up it's work to-day with
an unfaltering Resolution, making no con-
cession to the anti -Tilden sentiment, not
withstanding it constituted strong though
powerless, minority in Its body. The Tam
many Convention was equally pronounced
in Its attitude, and it seems now inevitable
that II Tilden il nominated at Cincinnati,
the split which defeated Governor Robin
son last year will be continued through the
campaign. The Tammany Convention was
q fine bod. OF representative men, and
created q profound impression by the dig
nifty and force OF its proceedings. There is
no mistaking the fact that the Tiiden Con-
vention has been tame and spiritless, influ-
enced thereto by the apprehension Of the
mischief to flow from the bitterly uncom-
promising division in its party ranks.
Noisy Republicans.
sTAuNTos. Va, April 22.-The Conven-
ton reassembled ct 8 O'Clock. The fight

received So votes against So for Senator
Lewis.
