Kimball, director of the mint, has sub mitted to the secretary of the treasury his annual report for the fisoai year ending Jane 30,1888. While the volume of work executed at. the mints during the year was greater, he says, than tha. of the previous year, the expenditure has been less by 1197.099. The total earnings of the mints during the year amounts to $6,032,680, of which $5,783,851 consisted of selguoragc or silver dollars. The total expenses and losses of all kinds amounted to *1,429,691; value of the gold deposited during the year was $49,608,534, of which $32,456,- 493 was of domestic production. The value of the silver deposited and purchased computed at its coining rate in silver dollars was $37,917,026, of which $32,454,644 was of domestio production. The coinage of gold during the year was $34,077,380, against $24,881,123 in the preceding year; $27,080,000, was executed at San Francisco and the balance at Philadelphia. The silver coinage amounted to $30,022,317 against $28,848,959, in the preceding year; $29,838,905, consisted of silver dollars, and the remainder of subsidiary coin. The silver coinage was executed lit, the mints at Philadelphia and New Orleans. In addition to the gold and sil ver coinage offl,706.651, minor coins were struck off to the value of $1,737,765. The total coinage was $38,384,022, and the pieces of the value of $64,117,105. In addi tion to the coinage value of the gold and silver, the bars manufactured during the year amounted to $27,268,032. Deliveries on the puroha.se of silver bullion for the mandatory and coinage of silver dollars, amounted during the year to 5,211,836 standard ounces, costing $23,446$Wt THE PRESIDENT PLEASED. He f.ookii Upon Judge Pecklism’s Victory u * I’crKonel Triumph. Washington, November 5.—President Cleveland believes more than ever that he is a man of destiny. He is so well pleased over the election of Judge Peck ham in New York that he does not take the loss of democratic votes in the house of repre sentatives home to himself. He attributes the falling off there to the democratic K ill congress that failed to carry out ggeslions relating to the revising of the tariff. He is so well satisfied with nis personal triumph in Judge Peckham’s election that he gave very little attention to election returns, and issued an order similar to the one which he issued last year restricting ‘ visitors to the white house, so that he can have his time to bimself much as pos sible between now and the meeting of con gress. The best estimates here place the democratic majority, jn the house at ten. This may be cut down four of five votes,an, even up to this evening, tho reports from olose districts are conflicting. AH ' the re publican headquarters to-night a' demo cratic majority of uiue ia the house is cou- „„ Wad. At the BamoarAtic. h^glquartara this morning. No damage reported, no estimates are made on account of the ' uncertainty. It is positive that there will be an unusual number of contested election cases on account of the closeness of many of the contests. Democrats here believe that Judge Peek- ham was carried through solely by the kindness and magnanimity of Governor Hill. If it had not been, they say, for the personal appeal of Judge Pecikbam to Gov ernor Hill he would have been left far be hind. The eor elee Earthquakes Are Terrifying the People , Again.

Charleston Felt It. Charleston, November 5.—A light but marked shock of earlhqunke occurred in Charleston at 12:28 this afternoon. This was the first shock in a week and lighter than that of October 22d. There was no damage and no interruption of business. CHILDREN HURT UY THE EARTHQUAKE. The schools were in session at tho time of the shock, and one pupil in a colored school was crushed in the panic of the pu pils and several pupils in the Shaw school, colored, were injured by falling plastering. No one was seriously injured. There was the severest shock felt at Sumter at 12:25 to-day, and a severe and continued shock at Greenwood, 9. C., at 12:33 to-day, perhaps the second seve.est yet felt. A severe shock was felt at Chesterfield, 8. C., at 12:25 this evening. The same shock was felt at Laurens, 9. C., and was the heaviest experienced there since Au gust 31. Special despatches received to-night from Walterboro, Greenwood, Chester field, Laurens, Abbeville and other points in the state indicate that the shock to-day at those places was more severe than in Charleston. At Walterboro it was so se vere as to make people rush into the streets and to cause tne circuit court to adjourn without ceremony. To-night all is quiet in Charleston and confidence is restored.

GEORGE NOT UNHAPPY. Mr. George was asked by a reporter last ) evening whether bn would accept, a i nomination for the scat in congress now held by Mr. Heivitt. Mr. George said: I "I do not want to go to congress. I I would not accept tho nomination of either | of tiio two old parties were I offered it.” Dr. McGlynu added tlmt. Mr. George jire- j furred the grander occupation of teaching I Congressmen social aud economic truths to being himself in congress. , The law committee in Mr. George's can vass will meet in the Colonnade Hotel at 4 o’clock this afternoon, and nil persons having complaints to make are asked to prosent them. Mr. George said that he did not vote on Tuesday wholly ns was reported, but ho Would not tell for whom he voted, for he believes the ballot should be secret. His canvass, he said, did not cost him a dollar. The Central Labor Union Campaign Com mittee, James P. Archibald says, Hpent be tween $5000 mid $6000.

Boston, November 5.—Leopold Morse has at. last done what he has so long been ambitious to do. lie has beaten judge JUniiey for congress in the swell, aristo cratic,highly dignified,and proper congress district in Boston which Mr. Ranney lias so long represented. When, four years ago, Mr. Morse, to the iuteuse horror of little Zigzag Bowman und the astonish ment of the A, M.s and the A. B.s and the LL. D.s of Cambridge, stepped out ofhis big clothing store in Washington A root to contest tile district that had so much of the best learning aud culture and • navy yard in it, it was predicted that Mr. Morse would learn that there were con gress districts where a Washington street shopkeeper oould not successfully aspire to political hohors. When the votes woro counted it was found that Mr. Morse had successfully aspired. It was t hen said that Mr. Morse, having shown people who have been disposed to look upon him with ttic elevated lip of contempt because ho made and sold ready-made clothes, whose cut and curability they never disparaged, or who smiled upon him with the consum mate art of Boston condescension, that ho Was able to get himself elected to congress even in districts where the better element live, would be content and not seek again ■to go to congress. But Mr. Morse had another victim in view even so long as 1882. Precisely what .circumstance led him to determine to “wallop” Mr. Rauney politically is not kn wn, but it was well known to Mr. Murse’s intimates tiiat he expected sooner or later to give, as he said, Mr. Ranney a walloping. Some injudicious lriend re- S anted this to Judge Runney, und then iok back his half humorous, half con temptuous comment. Mr. Ranney is a very blunt man, and, as he is a very able one, he has been permitted to express -his mind pretty freely without much opposition, it is probable that he made some blunt re mark either tb or of Mr. Morse, and it is oertain that the merchant thought that j. Itannev was a little too comfescending d patronizing in his inunner. Mr. Morse the most HipTomatio of noliMciana. If judge Ranney did thus displease him, it is quite likely that, instead or betraying an noyance, Mr. Morse drew from ids pocket one of those remarkably high-flavored and delicious cigars which made him many friends in Washington, mid asked the judge: to have a smoke Mr. Morse is not only diplonmlio, but. he is shrewd. 11c ex pected in 1881 to go over into Judge it.in ney’s district and make the contest, but it was presidential year,tho republicans were making special efforts, and so Mr. Morse resolved to wait, for lie possesses that prime qualification for successful polities —patience. This year the omens were auspicious, and he appears to have per formed his long meditated act of wallop ing. Mr. Morse doesn’t care much about con gress honors of themselves. Washington I is something of a bore to him, and the i amount of personal favors tie feels called ’ upon to extend to his constituents is great- | er than any other congressman burdens himself with, except little Charley O’Neil Vp? ’ nrrived ut Colonnade hotel yesterday I of Philadelphia, who is the messenger of can^They use S al I i°° n ' Awaiting his coming were sev- | rand boy, hansom cab, general trotter, can cany ivi.issacnu.sc-us in ioao. inoyuse e ral men who were prominent in his cam- Massachusetts us an illustration, and com pare it with Indiana. Indiana, they say, has been given up to politicians. Seventy per cent, of the federal offices have been changed in accordance with the dictates of the party managers, and civil service re form utterly ignored. Yet the reports this evening place that state in dcubt. and the republicans have a chance for carrying the legislature. Congressman Bynum. the democratic representative of thb India napolis district, telegraphed here this af ternoon that he was elected, but tljat the state and the legislature were republican. This, if true, will lose the United States senatorship to the democrats, as the legis luture, which meets this winter, will elect a successor to Beil Harrison. Senator Voorhees, the personal representative of the administration in Indiana, who had the giving out of its patronage, has met with a signal defeat in having his candidate for congress, John E. Lamb, ex-United States district attorney, defeated. Another illustration of the weakness of the patronage element is shown in Michi gan. There the president gavo Don M. Dickinson absolute' control of the patron age of that state. He succeeded, however, in making such a factional fight among the democrats with his patronage that the state has gone republican, and the legisla ture, which is to elect a United States sen ator, has been lost to the democrats. This is the special prize for which Dickin son was striving, and he had assured tile i pre paign for the office of mayor These all seemed pleased by tho large vote he re ceived. Mr.Gcorge was particularly pleased He bad something to say about the meth ods employed to defeat him, and the po lice came in tor a share of his denuncia tion. Chairman McMackin visited Mr. George at the hotel ill the afternoon and had a long talk. He said that hereafter the la boring man would look after himself polit ically and let the two old parties shift for themselves. Dr. MeGlynn called to congratulate Mr. George on his large vote. “1 think,” said Dr. MeGlynn, “that the result is a wonder ful victory for the poor and lowly. Yes terday was the Bunker Hill of a glorious and successful revolution. While permit ting, perhaps, the wish to be father to the thought, I ventured to hope for an abso lute victory at the polls; yet the great suc cess obtained is little short of miraculous.

Mr. Morse doesn’t take on the functions of the district messengers ns O’Neil does, but lie serves his constituents ns he serves his business friends in Boston, mighty well, nnd here is one groat secret of his success. He is personally one of the most popular men who ever did business in Boston. No body knows how many tottering mer chants Morse has boosted over the snags. He could ha ve been chosen mayor of Bos ton if he would, and they were anxious that he should run against.

In Wisconsin Delaney, who defeated Gen. Bragg for the nomination in the Fon- du-lae district, has been himself defeated. Mr. Delaney was the recipient of special administration favor. He violated the president’s civil service order openly, but he was notJpunished because previous to going into the campaign he had sent in his resignation as district attorney to the de partment of justice. The administration whipped the devil around the stump by not accepting the resignation. It was held in abeyance. The fact that Delaney is de feated is shown by a dispatch sent by him to the department of juaticu to-day, which read: “I am out of politics and wish to withdraw my resignation.” His example will afford a good precedent for the activi ty of future federal officeholders who arc- on good terms with the administration.

Cincinnati, November 5. — Speaker Curlislc is probably elected, but by a nar row margin, lie claims a majority of from 400 to 600. The official count begins to-day in the eight counties composing tho district. Unfortunately for those who are most anxious to learn the final result, the oounties whoso votes will decide the mat ter are inaccessible. Two of them havo neither railroads nor telegraphs, but it is probuble enough information mAy be ob tained during the night to furnish material for a decisive statement of tho result. The opinion here is universal that the cause of the surprisingly close contest lay in the fact tlmt nearly all of tiio democrats in tho buck counties were un aware of any formal opposition to Carlisle and thousands of democrats stayed at home. Boone county, which will Igive Carlisle about 500 majority, is democratic, by at least 3:500, and this is a sample of in difference. The 2000 majority for Tlioebo in Campbell aud Kenton count ies is duo chiefly to the largo number of Knights of Labor in Covington and Newport. The chances this morning are decidedly favorable to Carlisle. Cincinnati, November 5.—The official count, in the sixth Kentucky district was made to-day, but all tiio counties has not yet been hoard from. Enough is known, however, to make it certain that Speaker Carlisle is elected by a majority of 700 or 803. Curlisle was visited to-night by a re porter of the Associated Press, who asked him what, m his opinion, was the cause of ills comparatively small ma jority. He said: “If tho vote against me Inst Tuesday had been larger than the vote against me heretofore, some significance might he attached to it. Such, however, is not the fact. Two years ago my opponent received 9326 votes, or near ly, if not quite, twich as many as were cost against me Tuesday, aud yet two years ago my majority was nearly 6000. If it had been generally supposed that the oppoBi tion to me merely amounted to anything, I think my majority nt this election would have been 6000 or 7000. Outside the cities and towns adjacent to them it was scarcely known that I had an opponent, and in the cities and towns my friends attached very little importance to tlie opposition. They were thrown off their guard by tho fact that several times heretofore candidates had announced themselves in opposition to me and had received a very smnll vote. They sup posed it would be the same way tills time and therefore gave scarcely any attention to the election. Being asked if tiis views of the tariff affected the vote to any extent, Curlisle re plied: “The tariff question had no more influence upon the vote thia Mine than it has hud at. previous elections in this dis trict. Thera uro always a few who Vote against meson account of my advocacy of revenue refSrm, and I prosumo they did so in the recent election, but I have no reason to believe the nUinber was greater than usual. This coBWessiimal district is over whelmingly lffiifator of revision of the tariff and a Mtmcflon of taxation, and 1 no “nan who takes the opposite ground could, be elected on nny ticket. Of course a systematic at tempt will hi made to show that the losses sustained by tlie democratic party at the recent elections are duo to its position on the tariff question. But a careful examina tion of the returns will prove tlmt there is no foundation for such a conclusion; The losses arc by no means confined to st.iil.i ■ or districts wiioac representative^ voted to consider the tariff bill a 1 , the la.41. session of congress, and there is nothing in the result to discourage the advoeateB of a revision and reduction. ’ Many onuses contributed to tlie defeat of our candidates in different localities. Some of these causes were local and some general. It ia too early to attempt lo enumerate them, hut I think it safe to sav that localenusts have contributed far more to produce the result than general ones. At nny rate there in no just cause for alarm or despondency. The democratic party has survived many de feats which would have been fatal Lo nny othi r political organization, nnd this little repulse will only stimulate it to greater exertion in the future.
