COMING SILVER.

What VIII BE Done Under the Bland Bill.
Dr. Linderman director of the United
States mints, has been questioned by a re-
porter in regard to the capacity of the minis
to fulfill the requirements of the Bland silver
bill. He thought there was little doubt the
bill would become a law, and said he had
consequently been taking measures in ex-
pectation of its enactments. The three
mints of the United States, he said, at
Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Carson
CITY. would probably be able to run out
$4,000 i'll the new coins during the first
month after the passage of the bill. In the
second month the number of dollars coined
would probably be increased to S2OOO,OOO
while thereafter a maximum rate of coinage
of S!,OO0,O00 month would probably be
reached.
During the first year $3O,00O,000 of the
new dollars could be coined. The necessary
amount of gold coinage could be combined,
and the subsidiary silver coins also be got
out as rapidly asshitherto. Between SD, O00,-
600 and 5000, 900 in subsidiary silver coins
are still to be produced under the order is
sued by the secretary of the treasury during
Grants administration.
Two designs have already been made for
the new dollar. Both are very pretty, and
the few coins that have been struck in the
mint for the benefit of the Congressional
committees are exceedingly attractive in ap-
pearance The diverse of one of the de-
signs, which, with few alterations, will
probably be accepted, has beautiful head OF
liberty, a firm and expressive profile, with
Iuxuriant hair crowned with the traditional
cap and coronet, with shafts Of wheat
Above the head is the motto: "E Pluribus

New Orleans Democrat.l
On Monday evening Attorney General
Ogden was visited by one of the talesmen in
the returning board case now being tried in
the superior riminal court who informed
him that person had called at his place OF
business for the purpose of Offering him q
bride to stand by Tom Anderson, in case
he was accepted as juror on the trial of the
case.
Mr.. Frederick Hollander is the Juror who
was sought to be purchased. Mr.. Hollander
is merchant of this city, where he has been
doing business for many years as dealer in
lager beer, ales, &c. Mr.. Hollander said
that it must have been at dinner time
about 3 o'c lock-on Monday afternoon, while
he was absent from his store, that an in
dividual called there and, not finding him in,
| ventured to propose to his brother-in-law
| (who is bookkeeper) that if Mr.. Hollander
should be accepted as juror he would be
paid 81 900 to acquit Tom Anderson; that if
that sum were not sufficient, it would be in
creased to $4,000. In fact, that Mr.. Hol-
lander might name his price.
ION returning to his store after dinner, the
fact was communicated to him by his broth
er-in-law, who was instructed by MIR. Hol-
lander to say to the individual who had pro-
posed the bride that if he, Mr.. Hollander,
found the evidence to be against Anderson he
would vote to convict him: otherwise he
would vote for his acquital, but that there
was no money in New Orleans to purchase
his conscience.
'Then the proposition was not made to
you directly?' we asked.
Mr.. HolIantler-No. sir. would spit in
the face of any man who attempted to offer
me bride.
'.Do you know the man Mr.. Hollanderr'
Mr.. Hollander-Oh, yes; know him when
I see him, but | do not know his name.
''Can you describe him?'
MIR. Holland =r-Well, not exactly. know
