HON. D. B DoUTIIETT, a farmer legis-
lator from Butler county, whose honesty,
brains and marked ability as logical
speaker won him hosts of friends in our last
Legislature, is, it is said, likely to be re-
nominated without serious opposition. A
we'll known Chester county granger, who
spent considerable time on the 'HilP last
winter, says: II the voters OF Pennsylva-
MIA would continue to send such able, hon.

Douthett proved himself to be, the farmers
and workingmen would soon notice an i'm
provement in the character of laws which

OVER TWO YEARS.
The Coinage OF the seigniorage WIN Prove
Sow Work.


WASHINGTON, March l9--Should the
Bland seigniorage bill, which has now
passed both the house and the senate,
become law, the coinage of $50, 900, 900
Of silver bullion will have to he done
at the mints at Philadelphia, San
Francisco and New Orleans, which
are in fact the only mints of the
government now in operation. Exclu-
sive OF other necessary coinage the
Philadelphia mint, it is thought, could
turn out about 81, 900, 900 per month,
the San Franciseo mint about the same
amount, and the New Orleans mint
about $500, 600 per month. The san
Francisco mint however, has only
about $40, 600 900 in silver bullion on
hand and the New Orleans mint only
about s9,5OO,O00. So that after the
supply now on hand at these mints had
been exhausted the remaining $50, OOO,,
600 would have TO be coined at the
Philadelphia mint alone. The whole
time, therefore, which would be neces'
sary TO coin tho seigniorage would be
