PRESIDENT GRANTS CANNEL

(From the. Anglo-American Times.)
General GRANT made his longest speech--if
speech the conversational style of his remarks e3l/,
be called—to the Congressional Committee appOinte`h
officially to notify to him his election as President
of the United States. Senator MORTON, an 3
presentatives PR UTN, of New York, and WILS°,,N'
of lowa, comprising the delegation, were at the
Army Head-quarters at 10.30 a.m., 13th February'
half an hour in advance of the time appointed. the
General was in his office transacting army business
when those gentlen.eu were shown in. On Pre;
senting the commission as President of the uciteu
States for the term of four years, commencing fro:
last Thursday, Senator MORTON assured biro 13°h0
much his election gratified his countrymen, vi'
were convinced that he would exercise the duties °f
his distinguished office with the energy, integrity'
and patriotism which had always characterized bi)►
and he concluded by asserting that he would bane
the support of the people in administering the 60,
vernment, even where they differed politically fro
141
him. On receiving the certificate, General GO N•
remarked that he accepted the office with the deter
ruination faithfully to fulfil its obligations, Oro--;
ally in an honest and conscientious discharge °f
Revenue laws. He would select officers ears
desirous of enforcing economy, retrenchment, stifle,
honesty, which the people of the country Inestis,
sired. Those who did not satisfy him in the u'te
charge of their duties he would not hesitate
to remove as quickly in his own appointnien.a,
as in those of his predecessor. He bad j
tended to make known the names of the urea
he desired to form his Cabinet when officially In,
o
formed of the result of the election, but after °it°
sideration had induced him not to do so, eyeueot
the gentlemen selected until the names were sure
to the Senate for confirmation. Thus a press
would be avoided, which could not fail imn3eclia, a
b'i
to commence from various quarters to indllee .ogo
to change his determination-, the opposition heissi
perhaps prompted, not so much from Pert
motives as on account of the interest gentle''eo
ber
naturally took in their friends. For this and °t y
reasons he had concluded not to announceb
Cabinet until the time mentioned. He °P°
ge
openly and without reserve, and was listened
with both interest and approbation. Mr. glir be
then, on behalf of his party, assured him tbsbtios
would have Democratic support and co.operai so
in carrying out the principles he had announced,
assurance the President Elect received witiia
smile. In all, the number present did not occvwb
twenty, including the General's staff, and nithlo
the three or four reporters differ somewhat 014.
the words used, they all agree as to their purple g
GRANT'S attitude throughout the whole election
added materially to his strength, as it coramo:
people's confidence and support. He is Pe ;0.
neither to party nor to politician, being ehkeaes
trammelled by promises to wire-pullers or pled on
to policy. Never since the days of Washilthe
will a President less carnmitted have enteral
ono
White House. He cannot therefore be ter-
, he
" traitor," as was ANDREW JOHNSON, iltiag
shows a Conservative inclination in Ea —lOO
up his Cabinet, approaching the boundary
which separates the Democrats from the 1i413,0,
licans for the material he uses. As pßsoptits
the Constitution invests him with the Ereielltitiet
power of the United States of America. Cabinet
nd
officers are not charged with any of that power' re•
even their opinions are only to be given When gto
quired by the PRESIDENT upon subjects reintifioS
the duties of their respective offices. The Politic •
too
have managed to vest in the Secretaries (10 3 and
rity wholly unrecognized by the Constitutinei
hig
in a late instance a Secretary actually held the
office, as our readers are aware, in spite 0

PRESIDENT, so fortifying himself there as to sta

i
ing the fact that that proceeding was not only s ore
highest degree improper, but illegal, and Pe°l)o the
now awaking to the kno ivledge that even
" cussedness" of ANDREW JoHNSoN did ot-d @e
it. Congress is not likely to try that little the
with GRANT; still it is impossible to say; thlgt

We wait, however, the list of the Cabinet do to

press, but in this we have been disappointed'
