having sent a special message to Congress
accompanying the Report of Gen. Grant, in
relation to the freed men of the South
Senator Sumner stigmatised the message as

Franklin Pierce, in regard to the Kansas
atrocities for which he was severely hand
led by several Senators. Sumner is one OF
those impractical men always varying on ex-
tremes. His learning and literature enables
him to indulge in and make some show in
political vagaries, but he never was safe

Letter from the Director of the
Mint TO the Secretary Of the
'u'Vensupry

The Director of the United States Mint at
Philadelphia has sent to the Secretary OF the
Treasury several specimen of coins, with
new motto thereon. Accompanying the
coins the Director sends the following let
ter
"PuuApEIrHIA, Dec. 10, 1865.
"SrR: By the fifth section of the act OF
Congress, approved March 8, 1865, entitled
an act to authorize the coinage of three cent
pieces, and for other purposes, it is enacted
that in addition to devices and legends upon
gold, silver, and other coins of the United
States, it shall be lawful for the Director of
the Mint, with the approval of the Secretary
OF the Treasury, to cause the motto. In
God we trust to be placed upon such coin
hereafter to he issued as shall admit of such
legend thereon. In pursuance of the an
thority | directed the engravor of the mint
to prepare dies with this motto, for such
gold and silver coin as would admit the ad-
diton. The execution of this order re-
CURED time, care and skill, and now for
ward to you specimens in copper of double
eagle, eagle and half eagle gold coins, and
dollar, halEdolar and quarter. dollar, Of
silver coins with the motto, "ln God VIC
trust" on the reverse of each coin, for your
approval or otherwise, as required by Jaw
small to receive the motto, so as to be lcgi
bic. The existing legend and devices will
not admit of a greater prominence being
| given to the motto on the coins, but the ad
dition, as now presented on the specimens
add much to the appearance of our coinage
should you approve of the specimens sub
mitted will at once cause to be struck off
with the worth of the gold and silver coins
/ the denominations rpurpScntpl bV the sDeCl
mems. propose to direct the engraver tc
revise and remodel dies for the gold anC
silver coins, so that, by retaining the lega
devices and legends, he may, by the chang
of size, position, SC, give to the coins with
the motto more artistic and elegant ap
pcarance. l think it can be done. If sue
cessful, l will submit them to you for you
judgment and approval. For this purpos
no additional legislation is required.
Yours, respectfully. '

e4s" MODERN DEMOCRACY. 1t is curious
to look into many of the country journals
which continue to call themselves demo-
cratic papers. In them, It is in vain to look
for word of COMMUNICATION for any man
who has not byen rebel traitor, or sympa.
thizer with secession. While they dare not
openly approve of the assassination Of Lin
coin, they rather sympathize with, than
condemn the authors of this horrid crime
One would suppose that these papers could
have little or no influence, nor have they,
except among the ignorant and crcdulous,
who are even now made to believe that the
rebels were right in fighting for the con-
federacy, and justified in their attempt to dis
solve the Union, that the most distin-
guished democrats were the leaders of the
rebellion in the South, and those who as
sisted them in the North. In u neighbor-
ing journal we find copy of the pro
spectus of a semi rebel magazine published
in New York. Of the nine contributors
named, all are noted for secession proclivi-
ties. One of them having been an officer
in the rebel army. Among the prominent
features of this journal, the editor promises
steel engravings and sketches Of all the
leading Confederate (not rebeD Generals
In another column the editor announces the
sale of the portraits of Gen. Lee" and
other leading Confederate Generals. He
also announces, in the same column, Mr.
Buchanans new book, the history of his
administration. Happily, the portraits OF
works of Washington, Jefferson, Jackson
and Madison are not referred to, as they arc
not only unnecessary, but out Of place in
what constitutes modern democracy.

The Frced.Aer, in North Carolina.

Gen. Howard, commissioner OF the Freed
mems Bureau, has just received report
from Col. Whitlesey, assistant commissioner
for the State of North Carolina, in which he
represents that acts of violence and serious
difficulties between the negroes and whites
were very rare. None deserving mention
have been reported during the first month.
Destitution is not so great as was anticipa-
ted. but there is reason to fear that it will
increase before spring, In the western dis
tricts, he states that the treedmcn are begin
ming to look for homes, and that contracts
are made for next year at fair wages, and
many are renting lands on liberal terms.
The greater part OF the blacks understand
that they must work, and are willing to do
so. The temper of the better class of whites
! toward the blacks is good. The commits
sioner gives the number of schools in the
State as slAty-seyen, the number of teachers
as six hundred, and the number of scholars
! 1888. The namber OF hospitals has been
diminished to twelve.

This is the title of Mr.. Buchanan's new book
just issued by his publisher in New York
price $3.50 per copy. Some of the old
politicians who still cling to the fortunes
of the old Public Functionary, have consti-
tuted themselves agents for this work, and
will, no doubt, distribute a goodly number
among the faithful, at the exhorbltant price
named. If the book was one. of more than
ordinary value or merit, it would be well
paid for, at half its cost, but to tax the
ignorant, the curious and the unintiated
$3.50 for small volume of little value, and
less merit, is making the purchasers pay
entirely "too much for the whistle"
