Fonte to be Super- Intendent of the New Urleans Mint, tn place of ex-(or. Habn, who was appointed to that posi- tion last sprin and has since been fulflling Its duties, Whatever may have been the reasous for the removal of Hahn, serious objections undoubtedly would have been urged tothe nomination of Foute. The latter is the nated ex-Eenator from Misstssippl, who has been upon the political stage for more than half n century, He is in feeble health and advanced {n aue, and fe not u resident of Laulsiana. Senator Kellogy, fnexpressing hissurpriseat theappointment,said he wondered the President did not send in the Ringt of Kamschatia for the place, snd charsc- terized Footc as an lrascible old gentleman, who would tend to make trouble. Kellogg bo- iteved that ho could not be confirmed. The Louisiana people pav Hahn lost his placs be- cause ho helped whitewash Ackfen. HEWARDED, Mr. Bonzane, of Louisiana, nominated to-day for Refiner of the Mint at New Orleans, held the position fn the Mint In 180, and upon the Ureaking out of the Rebellion he took possession of the dics, brought them North, and delivered them ta the Government.
