Federal Government, and thus gain influ-
ence and position for carrying out their
reasonable schemes, and further that ex-

Pierce, enclosing an extract from it, say

throw the government. Any information

Mr.. Pierce, in reply, expressed his sur

his general course as a complete reputation
of the SANDER, and remarks that he never
belonged to any secret league, society or

Secretary Seward, in reply, explains that
this was written by VIM. Howard, Chief

is of the finest Damascus steel, with gilt
cnasings, on which is inscribed the word

ture. In the back of the grip is niche,
representing canopy, within which stands
female figure, in frosted silver, repre-
seuting Liberty, holding in one hand a
sword, the point OF which rests in the
mouth of a dragon. Back of this figure,

with the letters ~. c. F." in diamonds
The medallion is supported by two little
figures of Fame. On the top of the hilt is
q figure of the head of Medusa, also of
