ten per centum, nor why specie could not be safely resumed in three months from this date. The people have eonflder.ee In their Government', and have patriotism enough to sustain and defend It credit. It is not very easy to find a precedent, if we needed one, for such a policy as is indicated, for few nations have been brought to such a pas. We may mention one, however, which is Austria. That country, like the United States, has, for the past eight years, been using paper money, almost down to the last kreutzer.

The government is now replacing it with a silver ourroncy at a reduction of real value. No doubt the people are greatly pleased with the change. France, Italy, Belgium, and Switzerland have also lately reduced tholr lesser silver coins. This they dM, not to got rid of paper, to which they had not been driven, out because the relative value of silver had inoreased, so that they must either take that course or do without sil ANNUAL REPORT OF DIBBCTOB TOV- IjOCK OFBBATl'OKS OF THB INSTITO. TOIN BUHINO THB TEAR EN DIN JURB 80, 1869.

From the annual report of the Hon, James Pollock, the Director of the Uui ted State Mint, which, under the date 7 of Soptembor 29, has just been submitted to Secretary Boutwell, we take in- foresting extracts The operations for the year ending June 30, 1862, were as follows The deposits of bullion at the Hint and branches during the fiscal year were as follows Gold, $31,463,249.76 sil ver $1,790,408.49 total deposits, $32, 358, 703.55 From this total a deduction must be made for the bullion redoposited, bars made at one branoh of the Mint and redoposited in another for coinage Deducting the rodeposite, the amount will be $32,940,258.00. The coinage for the aamo period is as follows Gold coin, pieces, 1,181,801 value, $21,828,137.50 unparted and fine gold bars, $10,119,328.53 silver coin, pieces, 1,702,616 value, $840,746.50 silver bars, $734,190,67 nickel-copper and bronze coinage, pieces, 43,782,750 value, $1,279,055.00. Total number of pieces struck, 87, 666, 668 total value of coinage, $37,881,958.20 The distribution or the bullion re ceived at the Mint and branches was as follows At Philadelphia, gold deposited, 681,960.84 fine gold coined $3,178,637, 50 fine cold bars, $130,141.91 silver deposited and purchased, $503,840.89 silver coined, $434,746.50 silver bars, 02,090.12 nickel-copper and bronze coinage, value, $1,279,055.00. Total de posits of gold and silver, $4,185,801.23 total coinage, $5,114,671.03 total num. ber of pieces, 34,660,168.

At the branch Mint, San Francisco, the gold deposits were $17,717,393.81 gold coined, $18,650,000 silver deposits and purchases, $352,334.74 silver coined, $406,000. Total deposits and purchases, $18,069,781.55 total coinage, $19,056,000 total number of pieces, 2 006,590. The assay office in New York received during the year in gold bullion, $9,265, 068.83 siber bullion, inoluding purcha ses, $879,439.23. Totarvalue received, $10,144,608.06 number of fine gold bars stamped. 6.721 value, $642,100.55 to tal value of gold and silver bars stamped, $9,864,014,95.

At the branch mint, Denver, Colora do, the deposit for unparted bars, were, gold, $795,566.38 sUver, 54,828.63 total deposits, $850,395.01. The deposits at this branch for the fiscal year, ending June 80, 1868, were, $863, 017,79, show-ins an increase of $487,377.23. Prior to and since the recent act of Congress changing this branch from a mint to an assay office, it has been engaged in melting, assaying, and stamping sold and silver bullion, returning die same to the depositors in the form of unparted bars, bearing tha Government stamp of weight and fineness. Asanas- say office it will meet all the demands of the miner, and promote as effectually the mining interests of the region as a mint for coinage could possibly do. At the Branch Mint, Charlotte, North Carolina, the deposits have been very limited, but are increasing.

It is now in operation as an assay office, deposits being received assayed, and returned to depositors in the form of unparted bars. The deposit for unparted bars were, gold, $3,160,40. v- The branch mints at Dojikniega, Geor gia, and at New Orleans, fcSisiana, have not been In operation. Beccessity now exists for their continuance, either as assay offices or branch mints. The branch mint at Carson, City Neva, da is rapidly approaching completion.

Tha machinery is nearly all in place, and operations will commenced. Orders were issued to complete and put in oper-atioia as prompt as possible the assay department: This will be dene. Ths 8u- peiiBtendant of this branch reports that they will be ready to open early in September and this will probably be the ease so far as the general operations are eonoerned but the mere complicated details, in reference to the furnaces, as say apparatus, etc, will require some weeks longer. From the peculiar oharacter of the bull ion that will be deposited for fine bars or coinage, the eperatlve officers of branch should practical experienced, and scientific men. The deposits will generally of mixed "bullion, with a gold fineness of two and one-half to forty thousandths silver, 940 to 960, and a small percentage of base metals, etc.

This bullion, whether deposited for fin bars or coinage, must be refined, or refined and parted, according to the condition of the deposit. It does not seem that much, if any parting will be done at Carson. The bars of mixed bullion being officially stamped with bath gold and silver proportions, will be a saleable as if they were parted. I regret that I am not able to report progress in the erection of the new branch mint building at San Francisco. It should be commenced at once, and prosecuted without further delay, to final completion.

The redemption of nickel.copper cent vaa continued during the fiscal year, payment being made therefor in three and five eent nickel coins. The amount thus redeemed was, in pounds, 103,636 value, $101, 465.23. The redemption for the fiscal year ending June SO, 1868, was iu valne, $200,482.04 a decrease of 150 per centum. This marked decrease indicates that the redundancy of these small coins has been greatly diminished and that the amount now outstanding of the one and two cent pieces was but little, if any, in excess of the aotual demand for them. Existing laws provide for the redemption of the three and five oent nickel copper coins.

Ko consideration of public interest or private convenience demands the redemption of the bronze one and two cent or the substitution of a nickel one cent piece for the bronze coin of that denomination. I cannot concur In the recommendation of my predecessor for the reduction and redemption of the inferior coins by creating a fund for redemption out of profits of such coinage heretofore paid into the Treasmry of the United States. Tha net profits of the nickel copper and bronze coinage, and paid into the Treasury of the United States during the fiscal year, were seven hundred and fifty housand dollars. if si rum VKWH I fi' ANOTHER GRAND fJPMINO AT TUN A I. 23 li YG D'n ll US E.

This demonstrates our ability to provide for tho payment of the expenses of the Government, tho interest, and even the debt itself, without encum bering a single acre of the land of the State with taxation.

rl Blair, who may bmenJ bored as for the Democratic JSaudidu tlio for the VJ Presidency in 1868, Uate: made a Democratic snech in NowJYori City. Thlsfwas not very i cmkatlc, ai Genartii given to and for the last two years to making them in the interest of the Democracy, or of thoir erring brethren of tho late Confederacy, IU thinjc tlia pairiocfatio party are on the high road to victory. whieu may be truu or may not uo. i lie General was sadly deceived abou(; a year since, when he flattered himself wtyh tho same Ho admits his surprise when he heard of tlio New ork election, but we presume was because his vanity roude him think, that if tho Dem ocracy epuhl n't win with, him, it had no show whatever, when lie was not in the field. lie feels that the triiunph'pf tho Democracy was not apartizan one, which may be a mild way of saying flint the Democracy is no party.

Tie hopos that It will maintain tho purity of its princi ples, which would not bo difficult to do if the principles aro what Mr. Blair said they were, before ho became a member of the party. We doubt if they could bo even sullied bv him. Mr. Blair pays somo hi'li compliments to the President.

He sees very little in his message to object to, and thinks that General Grant has more ability than the the Democracy credit him with. He thinks, however, that he is stubborn, ambitious and exceedingly dangerous. The Democracy are advised to quit scof fing at the President and to commenoo watching him. -He also think that while Grant is given to enjoy himself on all oc casions, there are times when he oan attend to business with more industry than is agreeable to the country. Mr.

Blairbas made many worse speech es than tho one we have just sketched, both for himself and the Democracy. His insane threats of revolution when a can didate did him little although they did some good incidentally in helping to defeat the Democracy. The Campaign of 1861, has brought him some thing, and we are inclined to believe has done the Democracy some good. Thoy have at least realized that the peo ple ar not to frightened by silly threats of revolution, and appeals to their baser prejudices into placing the Government in the control of those who devoted their best energies to its destruction." If Mr. Blair shonld live three years longor, and the Democracy again give him a nomi nation on the national ticket, he would doubtless make himself less offensive than he did a year ago, but would scarce ly be more Buccessfull.

He would how ever have no hesitation in taking the nomination. The Harrisburg Patriot complains of ths Sinking Fund Commissioners thus The proposition of the Commission ers of the Sinking Fund, in August last, was to redeem Use Million Dollars ol the State debt. Now Governor Geary issues a proclamation setting forth that Three Hundred and Sixty-two thousand, if)l8M Hundred and Eighty-one Dollurt and Nine Cents the entire amount of the debt extinguished during the year ending November 80, A. 1869, or a Uttle more than one-third of the sum which the pre-election proclamation induced the public to believe wculd bo can- colled Perhaps the innocent lambs of tha radical press, who pulled the wool over the eyes of verdant pumpkins dur ing the late campaign, will look a little sheepish brought to face this se quel of their enthusiastic praises of Governor Geary's administrative capacity, Perhaps, too, the promises of radical offi cials, even if stamped with tho solemnity of the broad seal of the- Commonwealth, will in future be received by the public with a grain of allowance." We confess we can't see that tho case is quite made out. It was undoubtedly advertised that the State was able and willing to pay its obligations bofore they came due, but we know of no power in the Commissioners or the Governor to compel those who held the loans to pre sent them for payment.

Persons holding the obligations of the State could present them or not, just as they choso. If any were presented under that advertisement and refused, then there was bad faith and mismanagement; if not, there is no grouud of complaint. If there had been ome twenty millions overdue, as thore were under Democratic rulo, it might have been easier to get a million of bonds in, than it is now, when the State keeps faith with its creditors. The fact that the holders of our State securities do not presont them when paymont is offered, is about as sure evidence of the State's good credit as we oould reasonably ask. Mr.

Mackey is abundantly able and willing to redeem all the bonds ho advertised for, and if our Demooratio friends have any-bonds due in June, 1870, that they do n't like to keep, they can decrease the debt by presenting them. 1 i We have two journals now before us each containing the actions of medical gentlomen in Chicago, with regard to the case of Dr. Schcsppe. Iu one instance a number of these gentlemen sign a call for a meeting to secure tho intervention of tho Governor "in the ease of Dr; Sohcappe now under sentence of death at Pittsburg for the murder of hit teife." In the proceedings of another meeting the chairman is reported as stating that the celebrated chemist Dr. Doremut had analyzed the tontenti of the ttomach of the woman laid to bepoieoned by Dr.

ScJiceppe and had publiely declared that it contained no poieon whatever." We make no comments whatever, but merely quote these statements to show how easily, even as intelligent gentlemen a compose these medical societies may be imposed upon, and hew likely they are to act without much investigation of their subject. The Now York World asks who can deny that where the Democratic party rules, virtue and morality prevail?" Will the World please give the Democratic majority of the Five Points District in its own city, and then write out a tolerably fair description of the morals of that locality Its question could be answered more satisfactorily after such information. The Supreme Court has granted with the consent of the Attorney General, a writ of error in the case of the Common wealth vs. Dr. Schceppe and made it returnable on the first Monday in January.

If the Supreme Court, on the hearing should discover error, it will correct the law as hjid down by the Court below, and the case will be tried again, if not, the record of the conviction and sentence will remain. In the meantime the death warrant wfll be withdrawn. Have our Democratic friends beard that elections took place recently in Mis sissippi and Texas er do n't they care about noticing these little occurrences? ut of at its It It of in of SALE OF Tuudav.

TM World pays a high compliment to Goneral Grant for his nomination of Judge Woodruff for Ciroult Judge of New York. TM World ought to know that Grant makes good appointments generally.

The Triiune says that the expense of living of Secretary Fish at Washington, are $25,000 per year, and that no man is freer from ostentation or love of display than is the Secretary of State. Either of these assertions may be true, but we doubt if both are correct. Governor Baker of Indiana, has re ceived a draft from the Government for over $4,000,000, the tenth installment of the Indiana war claims.

Pennsylvania would release in full for that amount in cash. Hon. Richard J. Haldoman, of this district, a member of the Census Com mittee, made a speech last week in Congress. He advocates the taking of a full and complete census, and intends proposing a return of weekly incomes from wages, salaries and professions.

The speech barring what wae political was good one. print to-day the message of President Grant in full. Tew documents have emanated from tha White Heuse, which have given so universal satisfac tion. Those whe feared that Grant was only a great soldier, may now dismiss that apprehension. Tht Day finds fanlt with Attorney General Brewster for his recent action in the Schcsppe case.

When he gave his opinion on the case to the Governor, it also denounced him. It is exceedingly difficult to determine what course of pro cedure would satisfy those journals that have volunteered as a high court of errors and appeals in this matter. We arc sometimes tempted to believe that if Governor Geary were to pardon the Doctor now, he would be denounced in most unmeasured terms for his failure to carry out the law, and by those who arc now urging the pardon. Justice Grier of the United State Supreme Court has resigned his commission, to take effect on the first day of February 1870. He has been a member of the Supreme Court for nearly twenty live years, and he retires fall of years and honors.

POSTMASTER GENERAL'S SB- PORT.

As many of our readers may not have the inclination or leisure to read the whole of the report of Postmaster General Creswell, and as almost every one is in terested in postal affairs, a brief extract may be acceptable. The roport is able, as concise as possible, and exhibits the affairs of the department in a favorable light There has been, under Mr. Cros- well's management, improvement in both income and expenditures. The revenues were $18,144,510,72, and the expenditures $22,730,592,05, an increase of the former over 1868 of 12.59 per cent. The respecj.

tivo revonuos and expenses of the fiscal year ending June, 1870, are estimated at $20,878,691, loaving a deficiency of $4, 702,132. The sales of postage stamp and stamped envelopes were $15,078, 001, an increase of $1,214,907 over the preceding year. The number of mail routes is stated at 8449, making an ag gregate of 228,721 miles, and in annual transportation of mails 90,728,409 mile, at a cost of $11,681,728. Of these routes 29,587 milra are by rail, and 80,770 by steamboat. The increase over the pre- cmng year has been 6,903 miles, and in annual tranapertatien 6,499,078 miles, at an increased cost of $140,445.

The oost of transit has been 11.41 cent per mil Dy railroad and 17. 89 cents by steamer. lhere are in the United States 27,106 postmasters, an increase during the past year of 625. Of these 980 are appointed by the President and Senate, and the re mainder by the Postmaster General. During the past year there were received at the Dead Letter Office 3,952,862 let ters, 'the money order system has been a gratifying success.

The business has grown from $1,860,122 in 1865, to $24. 848,058 in 1869, and the last year paid a profit to the department of $05,558. I fie on Foreign Mail Service 688, 858 letters sent from and received in the United States, ex clusive of Canada, of which, both ways, tho number is estimated at 2,000,000. These figures show a decided increase. The total cost of ocean mail service was $1,143,141 78.

The Postmaster General in this connection alludes to the humiliating faot that not one steamer carrying the European mails bears the American flag, and suggests the encouragement of American shipbuilding competition, and the authorization of American registers to foreign built steamers puchased by Americans. uarrttburg Telegraph.
