TIIE HAN FRANCISCO BRANCH MINT.
Mccu excitement has been occattlouod In Cali
fornia, and tho nel(hborhiK gold-bearlni? Slates,
by the removal of the operative ofllcers of the
Branch Mint at San Franelbeo. The Chamber
"of Commerce, compowd of the most Influential
and prominent gentlemen of San Franelceo, has
memoralized the President, urging him to with
hold the comraiwions of tho newly-appointed
ofllcers, which he has done; bo that, for the
present, tho old officers at that Important
branch of the National Mint will continue to dis
charge their respective duties. The policy of re
moving Intelligent, skilled, and faithful ' opera
tive officers in the Mint and its branches is
fraught w ith evil, and nothing else. In this opinion
nine-tenths of our best citizens, without distinc
tion of party, agree. The scientific and me
chanical operations connected with the coining
of money are of too important and delicate a
nature to be entrusted to new hands at every
turn of the political wheel. At tho Miut in this
city there has been, with but one or two excep
tions, no change in the operative officers, except
by death or resignation, since its establishment
by law in April, 1792. The same may be wild
of the branch at San Fran
cisco until the recent wholesale
removal, which embraces in its sweep one or
two officers who have been officially connected
with it since iU organization. The citizens of
California seem fully aroused to the danger that
threatens, and is almost sure to follow if not
immediately, at some future time from this in
novation upon the safe and well-cstabUfhcd cus
tom that has hitherto prevailed. Their protest
and appeal is earnest, and we hope may effect
not only its immediate object, but serve to
awaken and direct public attention to the
supreme importance of elevating, as far as may
be possible, our national mints out of the rota
tion policy which has of late years, unfortu
nately, become the rule of political action.
The importance of preserving tho character of
ur coinage must convince every reflecting man
that if we must throw all our other offices into
the whirlpool of political strife, as rewards for
party service, our Mints at least should be kept
aloof. As all the patronage of these institutions
rebides by law in the superintendents, who are
the executive officers, it may be, and doubtless
is, proper, that they should represent the politi
cal views of the administration in power, so
that the minor appointments may be given,
when it can judiciously be done, to its party
friends. But it should never go beyond this.
These observations are made from a deep
sense of the importance of tho subject, and as
the result of ft conversation had a day
or two since with a very intelligent gentleman
from the Pacific coast, who has been long
familiar with our mints, and who states that
from telegraphic information in his possession
he is convinced the feeling in California is
almost unanimous in opposition to tho removal
of the officers before referred to, whom he
characterizes as excellent gentlemen, as well as
skilled and faithful officers. The removal
of these gentlemen, and the appoint
ment of their would-be successors, was
doubtless accomplished in the whirl and
excitement of the closing days of the Execu
tive session of the Senate, at a time when the
President and beads of departments were per
fectly overwhelmed by the rush of "place
hunters." We cannot bring ourselves to believe
that it was done after mature deliberation. If,
on tho contrary, these valued and trusted offi
cers were knowingly removed, then we must
say that the advisers of the President are in
entire ignorance of the aims and purposes of the
intelligent and controlling clement of the Re
publican party. We claim to bo a great pro
gressive party, with noble aims and praiseworthy
purposes, and we cannot afford to belittle our
professions and stnltify our declarations by
ignoring eminent fitness, long service, and lofty
integrity in these offices of peculiar trust,
and hand over to the politicians,
as legitimate party spoils, places of
sacred vrust, which even Andrew Johnson, in
his wicked apostacy, had not tho courage to lay
his hands, upon. The intelligence, virtue, and
manhood of the Republican party protest
against tho whole thing. The applicants for
these California offices or their friends doubt
less trumped up charges of ''sympathy
with Johnson," or ,lwant of hearty sym
pathy WHU lue uepuuiicau party. mese
charges are easily made, and indeed are
the common stock in trade of hunters for office
at the present time, who do not hosltate oft-
times to denounce men "whose shoe latehcts
they arc unworthy to loose." All this is de
plorable and demoralizing, and those in power
should see that nonorawe men are
not stricken down by falsehood and slan
der. To General Grant and his Cabinet
the country looks with confidence. Mis
takes of tho kind herein referred to are doubtlc-MS
unavoidable, and yet we have felt it a duty to
direct attention to it, so that a healthy public
sentiment may be permitted to manifest Itself,
Beln" in entire ignorance of the influences that
produced tho result that has been so much de
plored, no reflections are inteudod, of course, to
be cast upon any particular person. From Pre
sident Grant, and Mr. Boutwell's well-known
desire to promote the best Interest of the public
service, there can be no doubt thut if a mis
take has been made, they regret It as much as
anv member of the 8an Francisco Chamber of
Commerce. The President has shown this by
his Dromot assent to their wishes, and we hope
he may see his way clear to restore the old offi
cers to full possession of the places they have so
loug held with houor to themselves and advan
tage to the Government.

the better for tho people of Montana, aud for

TIIR COLLECTORS APPOINTMENTS.
Tun new Collector of the Port of Philadelphia,
Hon. Henry D. Moore, ha now got his offloe
into working order, and his course thus far
gives us promise of an honest, capable, and
satisfactory administration of the affairs of tho
Custom Houso, such as will be popular with the
merchants and advantageous to the Govern
ment. A few tried and valuable attaches of the
Custom Houso have been retained on account of
their long experience, and without regarj to
other considerations not affecting their effi
ciency? but the majority of the offices under the
Collector have been irlven to new men. Tn
milking his selections Mr. Moore has been care
ful to take only good men, who can be relied
upon to do their duty faithrully; and his ap
pointees arc all Republicans whoso loyalty,
under all circumstances and at all
times, has been proved, and a large proportion of
them are men who have served the country with
credit to themselves as officers and private
during the Rebellion. This class Is too often left
out in tho cold when the distribution of offices
takes place; and while a comH'tent civilian
shoidd not be thrust aside for an incompetent
soldier, tho inon who fought the battles or the
country hare the flrttt claim to the offices In the
gift of the Govemment. Collector Moore de
serves credit for recognizing the claims or these
men in spite or the pressure brought to bear
upon him by the mere wire-pulling politicians,
and an inspection or the list or his appointees
will show that he has taken especial pains to
obtain competent and reliable assistants. With
such a beginning as this tho new Collector ought
to gain tho regards or the best aud most influ
ential portion or the community, and wo have
no doubt but that his administration will be
creditable to hlmseir, aud demonstrate tho wis
dom or his appointment by tho President.
FREE CUBA.
The great meeting at the Academy of Music last
evening to sympathize with the efforts of the
Cuban patriots to liberate their beautiful Island
from the despotism of 8pain, was such a demon
stration, with regard to size, enthusiasm, ond the
character of tho participants, as cannot fail to
make an impression in all parts of tho country.
The names of many of our most esteemed citi
zens figure in the list of officers, and the speakers
were gentlemen of influence, whose eloquence in
such a cause as this cannot fail to oxcrt a pow
erful effect. The demonstration proved how
warm are the sympathies of the citizens of Phi
ladelphia for tho Cubans In their present struggle;
and if it is followed by similar meetings in other
great cities, and the voice of the whole American
people is heard, it will undoubtedly cause a miti
gation of Spanish cruelty and encourage the
patriots to persevere in their efforts, in spite of
every disadvantage and defeat.
Mann on Miskoktune. Mr. William B.
Mann, the late District Attorney, advanced some
very queer notions yesterday, in conducting the
defense of the young druggist's clerk through
whose carelessness in compounding medicines
Mrs. Hecht met her death. Mr. Maun asserted
that it was not the custom of Christian commu
nities "to repair one calamity upon one family
by visiting one upon another." We think
it was a great pity that Mr. Mann did not at
tempt to save tho neck of Twitchell by a similar
argument. If it will hold good in any one case
where the calamity happens to be the needless
death jpf a human being, it will hold good in
every such case, and may bo legitimately ad
vanced in every murder case that is brought
before the courts, In enforcing his calamitous
theory, the ex-District Attorney compared the
case to that of a mother who. aroused suddenly
at night to attend a sick child, in her anxiety
and agitation administers the wrong medicine.
But District Attorney Shcppard soon demolished
this illogical structure, and the jury returned the
verdiet'asked for by the prosecution, that of in
voluntary manslaughter, accompanying it, how
ever, with a recommendation to mercy. That
the case of Mr. Bower is a very unfortunate one,
we will not attempt to deny, but the safety of
the community demands that something shall bo
done to prevent the future occurrence of just
such ' calamities."
A claim agent was recently entrusted with
$1H0,000 to be paid to tho members or an Indian
brigade which served during the war, this being
the amount of bounty aud back pay due. The
agent very kindly turned over to the Indians
one-third of the money, and kept tho remaining
!rl20,000 for his services. It is needless to say
that ho is not a Quaker. While such scoundrels
represent tho Government in its dealings with
the aborigines, we may anticipate an occasional
skirmish on the plains.
A repokt comes from Washington that Rose-
craus, the ham-strung diplomat, is negotiating a
treaty with Mexico, which provides for tho ces
sion of a portion of her territory to the United
States, in return for a money consideration. It
would be a good thing for Mexico if she could
dispose of every acre within her borders In this
manner, but we are not quite positive that the
purchase would be a more profitable one than
that of Alaska.
The Irish Question Both houses of the
British Parliament were engaged last night in
discussing the recent disturbances in London
derry and Cork. The opposition, of course,
endeavored to make it appear that tho chief re
sponsibility rested with the Government, because
it had not announced a decided policy on the
land question. The Government ministers.
however, maintained that religious persecution
was at the bottom of the trouble, aud that tho
position already assumed by the Government
and the majority iu Parliament was an earnest
of the inteutiou o measure out full justice to
Ireland.
