FRIDAY, JANUARY 9, 1880. "
report pf;tiie director of
tiiehiint.
Through the kindness of Col. C. J.
Cowles, assayerof the United States
BranclPMint, in Charlotte, we have
been furnished with a copy of the re-?
port or 'lion, Horatio C. Burchard,
director of the Mint, of theperations
of the mints and assay oflices of the
United States during the fiscal year
ended June 30th, 1879, and under date
of November 11th, 1879.
There are nine institutions subordi
nate to the control of the director, com
prising the four mints of coinage, at
Philadelphia, San Francisco, Carson
City and New Orleans, the mint at
Denver operated as an assay office, and
the assay oflices at New York, Boise
City, Helena and Charlotte, and the
operations authorized by law to be car
ried on at the mints are enumerated as
follows:
1. The receiving, melting, and assay
ing of gold and silver deposits, and pay
ing from Treasury funds in gold coin
or bars for gold deposits, and in silver
bars for silver deposits, at all the mints
and assay offices.
2. The parting and refining of gold
and silver bullion and manufacture of
fine I ars at the coinage mints and the
assay office at New York.
3. The coinage of gold and silver bul
lion at the mints at Philadelphia, San
Francisco, Carson and New Orleans.
4. The coinage of minor coins at the
mint at Philadelphia.
5. The manufacture of medals and
proof coin, and the execution of coinage-dies
for all the mints, at the mint
at Philadelphia..
During the fiscal year the total de
posits of gold and silver including
silver purchases amounted $71,179,
654.65, of which $42,254,156.80 were cold,
and $28,925,497.85 were silver.
Of the above amounts $38,549,705.89
of gold and $26,934,728.50 of silver were
of domestic production; $19S,0S3.17 of
gold and $10,607.79 of silver were Unit
ed States coin; $1,069,799.89 of gold and
$1,072,919.29 of silver were of foreign
bullion; $1,498,819.71 of gold and $698,
632.49 of silver were foreign coin ; and
$937,751.14 of gold and $208,609.72 of
silver were of plate and other manufac
tured articles.
Of this amount the assay office at
Charlotte furnished of gold $53,947.83,
of silver $497.21, or a total of $54,345.04.
During the year coins, to the value of
$68,312,592.50, have been turned out of
the mints, a large proportion of which
has gone into actual circulation, to
take the place of the fractional curren
cy, and small bank bills recalled. On
the subject of coinage the director
says : The actual use, &c., of gold as
part of the circulation, consequent up
on the convertibility of United States
notes into coin, it was anticipated
would create a demand for the smaller
denominations of gold coin, and during
the last fiscal year there has been a
larger coinage of eagles, half-eagles,
and quarter-eagles than in any preced
ing year during a period of sixteen
years. The coinage of eagles and half
eagles will be continued until the de
mand is satisfied ; but because the cost
to coin a given value of bullion is mul
tiplied by every subdivision, and on ac
count of greater loss by abrasion and
inconvenience in use in large transac
tions, it is not considered desiderable
to coin a greater proportion of such
denominations than actually needed by
the public.
The silver coinage has been almost
exclusively of standard silver dollars,
of which $27,227,500 were coined dur
ing the year, and the total coinage to
November 1, 1879, has been $45,206,200.
There was no coinage of trade-dollars
or subsidiary coins except the striking
of specimen pieces or proof-sets at the
Philadelphia Mint.
The total amount of subsidiary coin
issued since the passage of the resump
tion act has been $42,974,931. The full
amount coined was $93,994,931, but
$1,020,000 in dimes was recoined into
pieces of larger denomination, at the
mint at San Francisco.
It seems that the coinage of money
is rather a profitable business than
otuerwise to unciebam, ior tne gain
arising under section 3526 Revised Sta
tutes on the coinage of silver during
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1879, was
$3,287,446.09, from which $17,439.48 was
paid for wastage, $93,474.32 for expenses
of distribution, and of the remainder
the sum of $2,954,454.69 was paid into
. the treasury.
The profits on the minor coinage from
July 1, 1878, to June 30, 1879, were $31,-
292.33, from which $1,299.97 were paid
' for transportation, and $775.00 for wast
age.
At the date of the specie-resumption
act, January 14, 1875, the amount of sil
ver bullion belonging to the goverment
in the mints at Philadelphia, San Fran
cisco, Carson City, and the assay-office
at New York, approximated 1,750,000
standard ounces. This and the silver
subsequently purchased for the friic
tional coinage and for the standard dol
lar on hand and uncoined June 30, 1878,
amounted to 7,111,059.07 standard
ounces. From July 1, 1878, to June 30,
1879,the purchases,including silver part
ed from cold, were 21334,245.96 stand
ard ounces.
The amount consumed during the fte
calyear in the coinage of 27,227,500
standard silver dollars and $382.50 in
fractional silver coin, Including wast
age (14,987.05 ounces), was 23,403,928.07
standard ounces, leaving a balance on
hand June 30, 1879, 5,031,376.96 standard
ounces.
The average London price of silver
bullion from July '1, 1878, to June 30,
1879 was 50 13-16 pence Bntisn stand
ard, 925 fine, equivalent at average rate
of exchange, 488.04, to 1.00534 per ounce
United States standard fibo fine.
The average price of silver bullion
'. .naaA nrW the vear was 100.96
ant nr ounce standard.
The amount of silver bullion pur
uaA inrindine silver parted front
(JUOOW, - ,,t- 1 ,OTQ
gold deposits, from March 1,
September 30, 1S79, was 37,64,918.08
standard ounces, at a cost of $88,594,
435.89, being an average . monthly pur
chase of $2,031,286.10 worth of bullion.
The coinage of silver dollars for the
same period was 42,634,100, an averags
of 2,243,900 per month.
The Director in speaking of the as
say office Jit Charlotte, classes it with
the offices at Boise City, Helena, and
the mint at Denver, lie says the oper
ations of these institutions are limited
by law to melting and assaying gold
and silver bullion, and paying for the
same, from treasury funds. They are,
as thus operated, chiefly of local bene
fit to the mining sections by enabling
the miner to convert his bullion immedi
ately into coin. They are all in a satis
factory condition of efficiency as far as
their management is concerned.
As nearly as can be ascertained from
official reports and other reliable
sources, the director estimates the total
yield of gold and silver for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1879, at $79,712,000
gold, and 38,900,000 silver. Of this
amount North Carolina is credited with
$90,000, two thirds of which was con
tributed by the region of country con
tiguous to Charlotte.
In order to form some idea of the
importance of our coin currency, the
director states that there was in the
country, and most of it in circulation,
the sum of $286,490,698.00 in gold, and
$112,050,985.00, making a total of $398,-
541,083.00.
Since the close of the last fiscal year
and up to November 1, the imports of
gold at the port of New York alone
have been: United States coin, $7,141,-
164; foreign coin, $32,110,750; bullion,
&c, $12,S95,254 ; total, $52,147,174. Dur
ing the same period there have been
coined of domestic bullion $12,11S,G35
in gold and $9,405,370 in silver, which,
added to the $7,141,164 of United States
gold coin imported, makes a total in
crease to the coin of the country since
July 1 of $28,005,169. This, added to the
stock of coin in the country at the end
of the fiscal year, gives $305,450,497 of
gold and $121,456,355 of silver, a total of
$427,206,852, being about $9 per capita
of coin.
This exceeds by $S0,206,S52 the coin
in the country at any other period, the
highest previously having been in 1S63,
$341,000,000, and next to that in 1857
$315,000,000.
In addition to the stock of gold and
silver coin there was, on October 31, in
the mints and the New York assay of
fice, bullion awaiting coinage to the
amount of $49,931,035 of gold and $4,
553,182 of silver, which, added to the
coin, would give as the amqunt of coin
and bullion in the country October 31,
1879, $355,081, 532 of gold and $126,009,
537 of silver, a total of $4S1,691.069.
Should the unprecedented How of gold
continue from foreign countries, un
checked by its reaction upon prices
here and abroad, the metallic circula
tion of the country at the end of this
fiscal year will have swollen to over
$600,000,000.
Under the head of statistics and cii-
culation the director foots up the aggre
gate circulation of twenty-four States
(including most if not all the European
governments) with a population of 446,
699,890 : Paper,'$3,30G,480,l 51 ; gold, $2,
685,691,372; silver (full legal tender,)
$S13,912,303; silver (limited tender,)
$310,247,960; total, $7,1 16,331,7S6, which
shows a per capita circulation of $15.93,
of which $7.40 is paper and $8.53- me
talic. The per capita circulation of
gold is $6.02, of full legal-tender silver
$1.82, and of limited tender silver
$0.69.
Concluding he asserts as prices have
not advanced above those of fifty years
ago the annual supply of the precious
metals, although increased five-fold, is
not excessive nor more than sufficient
to satisfy the world's present needs for
coinage and manufactures. The larger
production has been absorbed and re
quired by the growing wealth, com
merce, and population of civilized na
tions, and lias not inflated prices by de
preciating the value of money.

F0RTY-SIXTHC0XGRESS.
SYNOPSIS OF THE AY?S PRO
CEEDINGS Washington, January is. House.
A resolution has been adopted directing
the committee on appropriations to in
quire into the causes and extent of the
probable deficiencies in the postal star
service for the fiscal years 1879-80. The
committees are now being called for re
ports. At l :40, the House went into com
mittee of the whole on the report of the
committee on rules. Reagan, of Texas,
spoke in opposition to the proposed rule
which, provides that the committee on
commerce shall report the river and
harbor bill merely for reference to the
appropriations committee. He thought
that the latter committee, burdened as
it already is, could not give the subject
proper consideration. lie objected to
the plan of making one committee
merely a clerk or amanuensis for an
other, and declared that the commerce
committee had always acted upon the
river and harbor bill with faithfulness
and efficiency. After some further dis
cussion, in which Garfield and Hooker,
of Mississippi, participated, Randolph
disclaimed, on behalf of the committee
on rules, any intention of abridging the
powers or any House committee, or or
saying one word derogatory to any
committee, but tne river ana naroor
bill had steadily grown year by year
from two million to eight million, and
he thought it time the House be warn
ed that that bill should have fuller con
sideration and be less excessive. Furth
er discussion ensued ending in an anima
ted personal debate between Randall
and Oneil.ot ra., which was tne occasion
of much laughter and confusion, but
which had little to do with the suDiect.
Pending the discussion the committee
rose and the House adjourned.
Senate. Wallace presented a peti
tion of Drexel & Co., and others, of
Pennsylvania, for the withdrawal of
the legal-tender quality of the treasury
notes. In doing so he desired to say
that the gentlemen signing the petition
represented the leading commercial
banking and shipping interests or Penn
sylvania, and their opinions on the sub
ject were entitled to attention by the
ken ate.
The sergeant-at-arms brought to the
bar of the Senate L. T. Smith, Levi
Wilson and E. B. Purcell, to answer the
charge of contempt in not obeying the
summons to testify in the Ingalls case.
Mr. Smith made a statement to the
effect that he sent a telegram to the
committee saying he knew nothing
about the election of Ingalls. A discus
sion took place as to accepting the wit
ness' explanation. Saulsbury, chairman
of the committee, was in favor of dis
charging the witness upon his appear
ing before the committee and testifying.
McMillan and others objected to keep
ing the witness in custody, claiming
that no lawful summons had been
served on him.
The Senate in executive session to
day confirmed the nomination of J. D.
V llson as postmaster at MurireesDoro,
Tenn.
After a long discussion of the case of
Smith, and other recalcitrant witnesses
in Ingall's case, they were discharged
from custody.
Jonas, of Louisiana, presented a peti-
tioffof ship-owners of Louisiana asking
an amendment of the law relative to
the forfeiture of vessels for violation of
the revenue laws. He also introduced
a bill to repeal the 22d section of the
act to incorporate the Texas Pacific
Railroad company, and to aid in the
construction of its road, and for other
purposes, and also to declare the rights,
privileges and lands granted in said
section to the New Orleans, Baton
Rouge & Vicksburg Railroad to be for
feited and to re-enact said sections in
favor of the New Orleans Pacific Rail
road company. Referred.
At 2:10 the Senate went into execu
tive session, and when the doors were
re-opened adjourned.
COMMITTEES.
The House committee on appropria
tions discussed at some length, this
morning, the request of the postoffice
department for an appropriation of
$2,000,000 to cover the increased ex
penses of the star service and decided
to report at once to the House a resolu
tion authorizing the committee to insti
tute an investigation of the entire mat
ter. The subject of the pay of United
States marshals was referred to the
sub-committee on deficiencies, of which
Representative McMahon is chairman,
with instructions to prepare a bill.
The army and Indian appropriation
bills were also discussed, and the sub
committees were authorized to prepare
and report them to the full committee
as soon as possible. It is believed they
will both be reported to the House with
in a week.
THE MAINE MIXTURE.
The End Not Yet -Both Panic Strug
gling for Supremacy
Augusta, Jan. 8. Both branches of
the Legislature assembled quietly at 10
a. m., in the presence or a much smaller
number of spectators than on yester
day. In the Senate Senator Ilobson
offered a resolution tor the appoint
ment of a joint committee of both
houses to investigate the charges of the
attempted bribery of members of the
Legislature since the receipt by them of
their certificates. Tne resolution was
opposed by the Republican Senators on
the ground that no bribery of Senators
had been charged. It the members of
the House had been bribed investiga
tion should begin there. The resolu
tion was, however, adopted and no oth
er business of importance was transact
ed.
In the House the records of yester
day were read and revealed the fact
that none of the officers voted for had
more than 72 votes.
Mr. Hale announced the presence of
sixty Republicans with certificates who
were ready to be qualihed. Acting-ttov.
Lamson refused to qualify them at pres
ent as he did not know tne extent of his
powers in that direction, but said he
would inform nimselr. The House
then quietly adjourned. The Republi
can members will probably be qualified
to-morrow. Mr. Spraul,of Veazie, who
is among the number, will act with the
Republicans, thus giving the latter a
majority in the popular branch should
the members from the five cities be ad
mitted.
Affair of the Late Bishop Purcell.
Cincinnati, January 8. J. B. Man-
mx, assignee of Archbishop i'urcell,
yesterday filed in a Probate Court a
schedule 01 the real estate which is
claimed to be liable to sale for the ben
efit of the creditors of the Archbish
op. The schedule covers all the prop
erty of the Catholic church in the city,
the cathedra, churches, parochial
school buildings and lots. The property
is to be appraised, but is now estimated
at over a milllion and a half. The at
tempt to make this property the assets
for creditors is to be bitterly contested.
A meeting of creditors is to be held to
day to decide on the proposed appoint
ment of JS. o. Troop, attorney tor bank
creditors, assignee, in place of Mr. Man-
nix.

for the Armory Fund by the different lotteries con

caution all purchasers of
BENSON'S CAPCINE POROUS PLASTERS
to see that the word CAPCINE on ach plaster is spelled correctly. Do not allow some other planter to
be palmed off under similar names, with the assurance that it Is the same thing or as good. Bear in
mind that the only object such vendor can have is the fact that they can buy Imitations at h;ilf the
price of the genuine, and they hope by this substitution to gain a small additional profit,
