WE most sincerely hope that we of the
present generation will live to see the
time when the negro is not the canse o.
our political contentious. The country is
becoming tired of it. The people who
gave to them freedom, cannot perpetu-
ally guard them like other citizens, they
must take care OF themselves. If they
had more pluck to resent insult and out
rage, if they would fight the outlaws who
make game Of them, they would win rec
ognition. As long as they are cowed
down. they invite outrage. Oakland

New DIES FOR TwENTIEs.-The Post
of Saturday evening says that the new
dies for double eagles, just received from
Washington by the Mint authorities of
San Francisco, are different in some res
poets from those previously used. They
are thus described "In the new dies
the head Of Liberty, which in the old
ones was leaning to the right, is now per-
pendicular. The outlines OF the face and
the hair are brought out more promi-
nently, giving to the coin the appearance
of being larger. On the reverse there
were on the old issue the words at the
bottom, Twenty D. but now the de-
nomination is expressed plainly, 'Twen
ty Dollars In the scroll underneath
the coat of arms, the words II Pluribus
Unum' are engraved much larger
Above the coat Of arms the upper row of
stars is thrown up il the halo, and the
oval disposition of the stars widened."
The same journal states that there is no
difference in the weight, ineness or size
of the new piece, the coinage of which
was begun al the Mint last Saturday
morning.

A COOL RECEP TION.

The Congressional Committee APP
pointed to investigate the election
returns in Louisiana were refused ac-
cess to the returns by the Returning
Board, who acknowlegs no power SUI
pererior to their own in the matter Of
summing up votes, and counting men
in and out. The members were
reported to the House, and warrants
were issued for their arrest anda ppear-
ance at the bar of the House to show
cause why they should not be COM
mitted fer contempt. Not being aware
of these proceedings the two white
members of the Board. Wells, and
Anderson, started to Washington with
all the returns of the State canvass to
interccde with the President in behalf
of Packard. They reached their des-
tination two days ago just III time to
save the Sergeaut-at-Ar Arms of the House
a trip to New Orleans, and were I'M
mediately placed under arrest. This
cool reception at the National Capital.
was entirely different from what
was expected by these distinguished
individuals, who showed their utter
disregard Of the Louisiana sovereigns,
by throwing out some $4,000 votes to
count in HAYES and Packard.

COUNTING THE VOTE.

The committees appointed by the
Senate and House of Representatives,
30 devise a method for counting the
electoral vote and settling disputed
points, have agreed upon report.
which is signed by both committees,
except Morton The outlines of
the plan have been made public.
The Senate and House will meet in
joint convention as prescribed By the
Constitution. Tellers will be appointed
and the President of the Senate open
the returns, and those not objected to
will be counted. The returns to which
objection is made by either House,
will be referred to q commission COM
posed of five members of the Senate,
five members of the House, and five
Judges of the Supreme Court, the
members to be chosen by their
respective Houses, and the Judges by
seniority on the bench. -Four of
the judges are named aud they
are to name the fifth one. The plan
appears to give general satisfaction,
and it is supposed that it will be read
lily adopted by both Houses.

A bill empowering juries in murder
cases to designate the penalty, and
determine by their verdict whether it
shall be death or Imprisonment, has
passed the State Senate aud will pro-
baby pass the House. A law of this
character is now on the California
statutes. and has been in operation in
that State for some time past. The
latitude given the jury, by enabling it
to fix the penalty. insures more con-
vioiions than under the old law. as in
cases where there are doubts, that
could scarcely be considered reason
able, existing in the minds of the jury
as to the guilt OF the person on trial. a
verd ct is frequently arrived at, by
fixing the penalty, which under the
present law in this State might result
in disagreement of the jury or
possibly verdict Of not guilty.
