AVERSION TO MANUAL LABOR.

AVERSION TO MANUAL LABOR.
For years past, our boys and young
men have exhibited a growing aver
sion to honest, manly toll, to manu-
al labor, or productive industry of
any kind.
In many of our counties it is be-
coming a rare sight to see a young
man, possessed of an ordinary school
education, with perhaps a term or
two at the academy, engaging him
self in any kind of sober manual
labor.
If he does remain on the farm, in
large majority of cases, less of his
time is spent behind the plough,
than in a trotting suiiy-more of it
is devoted to training fast nags than
to training steers and farm wagons
are less to his taste than spider
wheels and skeletons.
Speculation. mining, petroleum,
patent rights-any thing that de
mands travel, and produces excite
ment, has a fascination for the young
man that seems irresistible.
To be in the great busy world, and
Of it; to talk familiarly with bust
ness men, of thousands, and tens OF
thousands, nd hundreds of thous
ands Of capital, with which SELF is
in some way, connected, has charm
for the young man, who seldom re
members the vast multitude that
sink to ruin while struggling fol
prizes that only one in a thousand
can, possibly, obtain.
Commercial pursuits are over-val
ued, because they lie more upon tn,
surface, and are open to obsesva
ton; but from statistics OF only {
very few years ago, and probably
correct now, we know. that our an
nual growth of bread stufis, is three
to four times the aggregate value o
all our imports aud exports com
bined.
But it is not alone the young maj
of some pecuniary means, that leaveI
the farm to engage in some doubt
ful, yet exciting enterprise, that vii
bring wealth without tabor; there i
scarcely day that passes, in villag
or in country, that some stout
healthy young man is not met, can

The majority Of the present Mas
Sachusotts Legislature were elected
on the license question:. How they
appear in public may be seen from
the following extracts:
The Greenfield (MasS.) Gazette
says of the legislators who visited
the Hoosac tunnel last week and
stopped in that village over night,
that some of the license law men
got quite jolly, and some slept so
hard after it that they missed the
morning train. y woman also
writes to the Gazette, from Charlie
mont that the bottles circulated free
ly as they rode up the valley; and
the boys hootcd at them and com
mented on the sight as evidence
that the ''liquor law had passed.

GEN. GRANTS liABITs.-lhc New

Law Olmstead's letter to the Nation
proceeds to relate another story of
the same kind, as follows:
While Grant lay before ViCks.
burg Il letter came to this Office from
respectable and generally trust
worth person in Western city, an
ardent Unionist, and II man of in.
fiucnce. in which we were told, as
positively and undeniably true, that
on u certain occasion Grant and his
staff went from Springfield to Cairo
in the ear of the President of the
railroad: that on the way the whole
party, with one or two exceptions
got uproariOusly drunk, and that
Grant was the worst of the compa
ny. This the writer said he knew
To be true, and on this and other CIV
ldenee he desired the Evening Posi-
to demand the removal of Grant.
by a singular coincidence, Mr.
Osborne, then President Of the Hi
noiS Central Railroad, happened tt
come into this office while the lcttc'
we speak Of was under discussion
and of course he was asked abOu
the story it told. He replied a

Impeachment.

According to the latest dispatch
es from Washington the present
aspect Of the impeachment case is
not particularly gratifying to those
who are waiting to see whether A.
j. is to be allowed to run the whole
machinery cfthe government, While
Congress and the people stand
back to give him full sway.
After hearing all the arguments
in the case the Senate adjourned
last Thursday till Monday, and
the time for taking the final vote
on the articles was set tor Tuesday
When the Senate met on Monday
and commenced its deliberations il
soon became evident that several OF
the Republican Senators who had
been counted upon as in favor OF
conviction, would vote for acquitta
on most Of the articles. The iriend
OF impeachment, however, think
enough Senators will vote guilty
on the second, third, eighth ant
eleventh articles to convict thu
President. According to the cdecI
list made up on Monday there were
80 for conviction, IS for acquittal
and ! doubtful. One Of the Sen
ators- Howard Of Michigan-was
very i'll, and in his absence Is could
defeat the conviction OF the PreSi-
dent. The names of the following
republicans are freely given as vot
ers against the articles Of impeach
ment: Grimes, Henderson, Trun
bull, Van Wrinkle, Fowler, Boss
Anthony, Fessenden and Freling
hysen. \ dispatch from Washing

the opinion seemed general that the
President would be acquitted.
From the above statements Whicl
we gather from the Boston Jomndl
it seems that the conviction of TIL,
President is doubtful, and Andrew
Johnson may yet prove master o
the situation. If such should b,
the termination OF This affair, WI
think the Senate had better inyitt
Mr.. Johnson to designate what law
he intends to Violate in his futur

may be repealed, and thus proven
