SHOULD GRANT BE MADE PRESIDENT
WHAT THkHt

Senator Davis of Kentucky, speaking in
recent letter, of the extraordinary means
which are appealed to for making Gen Grant
President, remarks that when he is thus
elected and inaugurated, then will the revo-
luton of our government be complete and
permanent and long, dismal night of des-
potism will brood over our country" The
Radical politicians are, perhaps, for the
most part too much preoccupied with des-
perate expedients Tor keeping the opposite
party from power, and for protecting them
selves from the just resentment of the people,
to calculate the eventual effect which the ac-
eession of such a man as Grant to the su-
preme executive power would have upon the
general political situation. Many of them,
however, suspect that his elevation to that
position would be the prelude to such
change as took place in England when
Cromwell dispersed the Rump parliament,
and in France when Napoleon dispersed
the Council of Five Hundred. These have
become SO vitiated in their political
ideas and so envenomed in their par
tisan animosity that they no longer
cherish the muniments of free government,
and are willing to lay their own hber-
ties at the feet of an autocrat, if by so
doing they may defeat the hopes of their
political opponents and force them to the
level Of a common degradation. An analysis
Of the acts and words of Gen. Grant within
the past two years, will result in this conclu-
sion-that he is not satisfied with his present
position; that he is not satisfied with the con-
dition of the country; that he has set his
head on being President, and something more;
that he despises the political coterie which
processes to have him in its keeping, and in
tends to use it while it thinks it is using him;
and that, when once seated as President
dictator or imperator-he will not be content
with a merely partisan or merely sectional
support, but will lay hold of all elements that
may be combined to strengthen his tenure
and to universalize his power. In accepting
the Republican nomination he expressly re-
served the full discretion of shaping his policy
to suit future contingencies. There is vast
import in such a reservation by such a man.
The Radicals fatter themselves that he will
be impelled by gratitude to sustain the Radi-
cal theory of government, whatever that may
be. Sheer delusion! Gratitude has nothing
to do with such coalitions. As appositely re-
marked by the Louisville Courier, if he be-
comes President, "he will hold a terrible and
dangerous balance of power between them
and their opponents. If he should then
threaten to carry out the Radical idea of gov
eminent, their intended victims preferring
the despotism of one man to that of cruel
and corrupt faction, would be in condition to
accept the relief which he could Offer and
which would be acceptable, because his ac-
cession to unlimited power would involve the
Radical and Southern man in the same fate
precisely. The power conferred on him as
the tool of vengeful and despotic policy
could be easily allied with the resentments of
a desperate people and thus become the step
iDg-stone to an imperial throne"

"A. T. Stewards up town dry goods palace,
at the corner of Broadway and Tenth-street,
New York, is now by far the largest and m most
magnificent establishment Of the kind III the
world. The employees number about two
thousand. OF these considerable number are
women, whose especial duty it is to attend
upon the lady customers; and it may
be of interest to ladies' to know that
one may enter this establishment in
any costume whatsoever, and emerge
therefrom fashionable city lady, completely
reftted from head to foot, with the exception
only Of her shoes. Dressing rooms are provi-
ded. where the old may be laid aside and the
new put on-both undergarments of every de-
scripton, ready made, ard outer also, includ-
ing even q bonnet, for the millinery department
ls large. For the convenience OF the ladies in
particular, elevators on either side are provl-
ded, by which they cap ascend to or descend
from the different stories at their pleasure.
Among other things in this mammoth estab-
lishment, no small attention is paid to uphols-
terry, and hotels, steamboats, and private houses
are fitted up at d few hours notice. This re-
tail store is more than twice as large as any in
Europe or on this continent.

The Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more Gazette writes under date of November
Is:
The report that General Grant had gone to
West Point, to be present ut an examination Of
his son, was tale concocted as q sham to
cover up and conceal the Generals real move
ments. 1t was certainly desirable to get out Of
Washington, and thus avoid, at least for o
time, the hungry swIrm OF 'loyar ofice-seek-
ers now focking in here from oil quarters Of
the country; and it was also perfectly con-
venient to visit West Point, and thus furnish O
good excuse for absenting himself from the
National Capital; but it is well understood
among his friends here that General Grants
purpose in going North was to feel, ever so
gently, the public pulse, and particularly to
consult with certain parties in the City OF New
York, relative to financial and other matters
before committing himself in any way to men
or measures. AS soon as the Radical polti-
clans Of the country shall have assembled here,
a tremendous pressure will be brought to bear
upon General Grant to forco him into q full re-
cogntion and endorsement of their widest
schemes, even before the meeting OF the cleo
toral colleges in the several States; and should
he fail to yield to their views, it is openly
threatened to have the electoral vote cast for
Schuyler Colfax for President. General Grant
has become fully aware of the designs upon
him, and he is now absent from this city pre-
pairing himself to meet the issue.
There has been but little speculation for
some days past on the new Cabinet 1t seems
to be conceded that Schofeld will hold over,
and that Farragut will be placed in charge Of
tho Navy Department. The State Department
is generally assigned to Stanton, and the At
torney- -Generalship to Judge Holt. The dis
position of the Treasury Department will pro-
baby be determined during General Grants
present visit to New York, popular opinion
here being divided between Slr. Cisco and
Senator Morgan. The Pacific coast claims the
Interior Department and will probably get it.
while the Postoffoe Department may be award
ed to Massachusetts or Illinois. II General
Schcfield should not be retained in the Cloinet,
then it is understood the portfolio of war will
be rendered to Senator Wilson. General Banks
is spoken Of for tho Mexican mission.

ports. When they looked further they found
that the Commissioners of Elections are also,
when duly organized, to aggregate the votes.
Taking these managers, then. as provided for
by the law under which this MuniclI al election
was conducted, they would probably find that
if they were taken up where they were left
by the general law, that there certainly must
have been some omission in not providing to
whom they should make their reports, and
who should make up the aggregates.
There certainly seems to be no such
provision. There is not one word say
ing the Mayor shall aggregate the returns. 1t
does not say who shall do it. There is no
doubt in my mind but that the reports should
have been single. That is my view of the law.
With q view, however, to obtain all possible in
formation on the subject. lie would suggest
that they should hear the opinion of the City
Attorney tomorrow, and then proceed to bu-
siness.
Alderman Olney moved that the board do
now adjourn.
The motion was agreed to, and the board
then adjourned. W. II. SMITH,

NEED OF REsT.-Head workers need moro
rest than hand-workers. The old saw precise
ly inverted the proprieties of the case, so far
as it involved them, declaring that, Seven
hours sleep suffice the student, eight the To-
boring man, and nine the fool" Three hours
of hard brain work destroy, as before observed,
more nervous tissue, and cause greater sub
traction of The phosphates from the system
than an ordinary days work at mere mechanl-
cal labor the proportion in grains (of weight
being as 86.T. Above everything else;
brain workers need sleep, early sleep and
lato sleep, and enough in the middle
to feel "real stupid" at the end OF
it. Stupidity is precisely the condition into
which this class of toilers should manage and
devise and strive to get themselves for q time,
longer or shorter, each twenty-four hours.
Nothing rests the brain and the whole worKlnS
system like it. Narcotic stupidity, the pr, 'duc5
of ale, tobacco or wine, is not the thing referred
to-though in emergencies this may perhaps
be had recourse to rs medlclne-but tne
quiet, reposeful readjustment of the nervous
conditlons and the recharging with vital force
of the nerve batteries, the contacts not yet
closed. the galvanic currents, therefore, not
vet set in motion, but only filling up the sys-
fem with a blind, tiffused feeling OF healthy
sensations and reserved efficiency.
