OUR CHRISTMAS NUMRII4a.
We shall issue on Wednesday our annual
CHRISTMAS EVENING ThILLETIE. It will con
tain seventy-two columns, comprising, be
side the large space necessarily devoted to
the advertising of Christmas and other goods,
a great variety of original stories, pbems and
other literary matters appropriate to the sea
son. As the CHRISTMAS EVRNINO BULLETIN
must appropriate much of its columns to the
literature of the season, we wouli suggest to
our numerom advertising friends the necessity
of an early application for such space as they
may desire for that day. Unwilling to dis
appoint any, there is a limit both of time and
space which our best intentions towards our
blends will not permit us to transcend.
TUE WOILLSiALLERS OF OR &BM
The scheme to forestal General Grant's ap
pointments has apparently failed. Its prompt
exposure in this and a few other journals has
fully aroused public attention to it, ani it has
,been made so evident that the popular will
is opposed to any such manumvre that there
~ is little prospect of any of the recent nomina
tions to important offices being confirmed by
the Senate. The character of these nomina
tions and the nature of the scheme itself have
combined to defeat the plans so cleverly laid
and so vigorously engineered. It is under
stood that Mr. Rollins has come to the rescue
and agreed to protect his important office by
`holding on until General Grant's inaugura -
Ilea. Even the Press, which last week
lauded the nomination sent in by Andrew
Johnson, as that of a "faithful, energetic
and honest" officer who would be "heartily
,aopported by many prominent Republibans,"
• to-day says that Mr. Rollins will retain his
r ' office "unless President Johnson makes bet
ter selections than. he has heretofore." We
Lust that the forestalling scheme is effectually
t , done to death. No man worthy of office
Would accept it under such circumstances,
and it would be a grave error indeed if the
t the Senate should lend itself to a trick so
obvious, especially when it was proposed to
carry out by instrumentalities so very differ
eat from those by which the people of Phila
delphia desire to see the public service
administered.
UONWIS /0 LIVING WM.
General Thomas has set an example
worthy of all praise and of all imitation.
Ilaving been tendered a place among the pub
lic men whose statues it is proposed to place
around the base of the national monument to
Abraham Linceln,General Thomas positively
serum Lie proffered honor, and, in doing so,
adds new hono: tz.• his distinguished name.
°*"./ The position which this hero of the late war
takes enables us to say a word by way of
protest against the whole plan of decorating
•' ' Abraham Lincoln's monument with the
Statues of living men. A number of the most
,
distinguished soldiers and civilians of America
_
JIM been named for this purpose, and con
io-", ~eiderable amounts of money have been sub
.!-oelibed by some of their friends to defray the
„
.txpensee of these statues. But the prin
triple la wholly wrong. It is no dispwage
xnent.of the eminent men who have been
I Tied to grace or to be graced, by the
:' monument of the Martyr-President to say
that no man's record can be made up until he
is dead. The brief history of the United
Otates gives us many instances of public.. men
who have risen high in the popular esteem
_by great services, or • brilliant genius, or pa
;1;0!- triotiC silt devotion, and who have talon
;~ .
froin tbeir-bigh pinnacles of fame; or have
bad the hrstre of their bright record obscured
by some newly-risen star before their mortal
career has been fully run. We are not proph
alb* such a fale for any of the honored
names which have been chosen for the Lin
coln Monuinent. /t is a very linprobable one
for any of them; but it is not impossible. No
man should live in marble or bronze, until he
has died in the flesh; and not only be
cause we cannot foretell the future career
of any man, but because there is something
invidious in the selection of half-a-dozen
living men, who, great as their services may
have, been, have,atter all, only marched in the
front ranks of an army of patriots whom no
man can number,_at least in the order of
their sacrifices or their good deeds, these pro
posed statues will be out of place.
But there is yet another strong reason why
General Thomas's example deserves com
mendation and imitation. Abraham Lincoln
stands absolutely alone before the American
people and before the, World. So he will
stand in history, and so he should stand on
the national monument which Is to aid in the
perpetuation of his great name. The figures
of other men, added to his monument,
will borrow_ from, `not add to; his glory;
while all that they borrow will not be enough
to lift them up from the subordinate places
which they occupy. Let Abraham Lincoln
stand grandly in his sad, weary, faithful soli
tariness. IVo American ever presented such
individualities as marked both his character
and his great career; and it belittles the design
which would • immortalize him, to sell out the
niches of this monumental pile, even in
tribute to those who are to-day the foremost
of the American name..
Od taste, past experience and reverence
for Abraham Lincoln all , unitel to plead
against.a plan,-which, although prompted_by
a laudable desire to 'reward =good and great
men,may some day cause nothing but regret,
and which is, at the very best, premature in
its operation, and tending to detract from the
chief purpose of doing honor- to the man
who, in his character and hale:work, must
stand alone in all coming time.
Our. respected contemporary — the North
American has informed the public of cer
tain white - and glittering objects of surpassing
beauty which, it said, were specimens of 5
and . 3 and 1 cent coins, which were proposed
to be issued to replace the medley of small
coins which now confuses the uninitiated.
The whole article was so much in the style of
"Surely never lighted on this orb a more en
chanting vision," that we were half inclined
to suppose that our venerable contemporary's
eye-sight had been tickled by the display at
an old-fashioned quarter dollar; but our in
eredulity has since vanished, for we have our
selves seen, with these eyes,a set of the spec!-
men coins in question, and are prepared to
endorse nearly all that was said of them by
the North American. We say advisedly
"nearly all," for our contemporary says these
coins weigh L grains, 3 grains and 1-3
grains. It is however as clear as mud that
it we are to go shopping—that is if our wives
Old daughters are to go shopping—with
coins weighing only so many grains, we shall
have to provide those dear creatures with sets
of magnifying glasses, and the Director of the
'Mint is too sensible a man to bring that ca
lamity upon our heads in the present high
price of optical instruments. What the North
American should have said is that the coins
weigh 5 grams, 3 grams and 13 grams re
spectively.
The regular readers of the BULLETIN do not
need to be informed what is the difference
between a grain and a gram ; but for the
benefit of those outside barbarians who see
our paper but occasionally, we will explain
that the gram,or gramme, is a French weight
about equal to 15.43 grains, and related in a
mysterious manner to the earth's quadrant.
' The coins, as they really are to be, will
give ue a homogeneous and systematic series,
doing away with all the copper, bronze and
low nickel alloy in the easiest possible man
ner, and with the least possible departure
from what already exists. In the first place,
all are to be of the same material—the rich
nickel alloy of nickel fl copper, which the
experience of this country in the present 5
cent and 3 cent coins, and that of Belgium in
her entire set of small coins, have shown to
be so eminently suitable for this use.
Secondly, the weight of the five cent coin
remains unchanged at five grams, and that
of the three cent coin is altered but little, only
enough to raise it to three grams. The .k
cent coin will now for the first time be brought
into accordance with the other subsidiary
coins, but the proportion of weight was not
adhered to because ono gram appeared In
practice to be rather too light. For the con
trary reason it was decided not to issue a ten
cent coin of this alloy, since a coin of ten
grams was thought rather too heavy for con
venience.
ERRE
GRAIMS AND OBELINS.
Thirdly, the devices of the present three
cent coin have been adhered to for the entire
series, those devices being perhaps the hand
somest that have yet been engraved at our
Mint, and equal to the best produced any
where, both for design and beauty of execu
tion.
The new coins are to be redeemable by the
Government, and any of the old coins are to
be taken in exchange for them. They are
to be legal tender for all purposes to the
amount of ono dollar, except for payment of
duties on imports.
It may not be generally known that nickel
approaches so nearly to the precious metals
in its chemical properties, that some distin
guished chemists, writing shortly after its dis
covery, or rather after its production in the
metallic condition, claimed that it should
be ranked among the precious me
tals ; and though that claim has
been exploded, its whiteness, unalterability
and beauty give it deservedly a high rank
among'_the metals. Its market value is nearer
to that of silver, than silver is to gold.
Having begun in jest, we will conclude in
earnest by saying that the new coinage has
our hearty approval, both for itself and as an
evidence that our house is beine set in. order
for specie times.

Family In 'Frondle.
tFroM the Colurnbus (0). Journal, Dec. 18th.]
About four weeks ago, Rev. F. Nominee, of the Dutch
Reformed Church, came to this city from Albany, N. Y..
to act here sre the District Secretary of the American
Colonization Society. lire wife was in poor health, and.
i s her relatives feared, -'partially insane. It was thought
the trip and change of scene would benefit her, and she
accompanied him, as did his tivo children, one girl about
fourteen years of age and four boys, younger. They lo
cated in a house on Town erect, juit beyond Sixth. Be
fore their furniture was in place, the four boys were
taken sick with the outlet fey r, and the youngest died
with this dhease on Friday las Mrs. Nominee became
worse, ant Mr. Herniate. with nnstant watching, became
ill. The family were strange in the city , but their tale,
1 attunes made thorn taarrY . [fiends. who gave all possible
attention. The remains of the boy were interred on Mon.
day, and • the sadness of the home. with husband
and father prostrated, and three boys deneoroutiv
