| VINO WILL HAVE INFLUENCE WITH GEN
GRANT ?-There is great deal of specu
lation on this subject just now. Some
people think that Mr.. T. B. Washburne
will control him some say that he is
in frequent and confidential correspon-
dence with Mr.. A. T. Stewart, the dry
goods man some say that Gen. Rawlins
is all powerful with him, and others
that Gen. Badeau yields n wonderful
influence. We have been frequently
asked what we think of the matter, and
to save the trouble of further inquiry
we may as well state our views. On
one occasion, when Gen. Grant was
riding with us behind Peerless, he
quietly remarked: " Ishould Ike to take
hold of the reinS." Now, we rather
think Gen. Grant will hold the reins
himself the next four years. He has
been elected President and he will be
President. 1t is true that he has said
that he should only carry out the will
of the people as declared by the laws
of Congress, but then he will carry it
out. We shall have an administration.
He will do his duty, and men under
him will have to do their duty. There
fore we conclude that the most infuen-
tial man with the administration for
the next four years will be Ulysses s.
Grant.-[N. Y. Ledger.

The London Spectator devotes care
full article to the speeches, letters, and
characteristic sayings of Gen. Grant, of
which The Monitor published a collec-
ton Just before election, and remarks
concerning them that there revelations
are "at least as important to England
as the ideas Of the Emperor Napoleon. y
The Spectator thus sums up its judg
ment
"Gen Grant comes out in these let
tiers, and orders, and-no, not speeches
sayings, a soldier politician of the
best sort, man gentle, kindly, and
considerate, but with q vein of wrath
in him a man who surveys politics as
he would valley, without seeing every
tree, but missing no strategic point q
soldier who is aware that there must be
force somewhere to keep society to-
gether, but Il politician who is deter
mined that that force shall be the Law,
framed and modified by the represen-
tatives of the people. We congratulate
the United States on Premier party,
and will put down murderers even when
they plead the sovereign rights Of
States.

OUR NEW CITY COUNCIL.

In just one month the new City
Council will be organized. Already
there is considerable "button holing,"
but the foe Republican members look
indifferently upon the estate of affairs, y
i. e. the filling of the offices, feeling
that it matters but little what course
the majority pursues. We are satisfied
however, that next year the majority
in the City Council will be very eau
tious how they act, more economical in
the expenditure of money. This will,
in part, be attributable to the increase
of the number of the Republican mem
bers, and to general desire to so con-
duct the affairs of the city as to retain
possession of the government for an
unlimited number of years to come.
We have faitA in the integrity and
honesty of the gentlemen composing
the City Council and trust they will
act in an upright aud conscientious
manner. 1t would be difficult to find
in any city, Il better class of men, than
those who will compose the next Board
of Councimen. They appear to have
been especially selected and elected for
their probity of character, and for the
legal and business qualifications which
each member possesses.
Not being within the pale" of
course we cannot be expected to know
exactly what will be done by the ma
jority, but we infer that the presiding
officer of this body for the new year
will be the same gentleman who has 50
ably condccted its deliberations during
the past. Mr.. JAMES T. WILEY, ac-
cording to the usages of the Democra
tic party, will doubtless be unanimous
" reelected, and we incline to the
opinion, so generally expressed, that a
more worthy or faithful public servant
cannot be found. Ever present at the
meetings of the Board, presiding with
becoming dignity, thoroughly atten-
tive to the interests entrusted to his
care, impartial and yet just in his deci-
sions, he has won an enyiable reputa-
ton, not only with his own party, but
even his political opponents do him the
justice in giving him the mode of praise
so justly due.
The present City Clerk will, we were
about to say, never have a competitor.
Mr. JACOB SEIPLE is necessity. AL
ways at his post, like faithful soldier,
precise and punctual in the discharge Of
his manifold duties, he has become so
thoroughly conversant with the books
of the city by long years of the hardest
kind of service, that we do not see how
he can be dispensed with. Mr.. Seiple
will be reelected, and the city benefit
ted thereby.

A NEW ERA in the history OF Austria is
marked by the final passage of the Civil Mar
riase bull by the Austrian Reichsrath. The
oill approximates the marriage laws somewhat
to the system that prevails in this country, and
takes the entire control of the subject out of the
hands of the clergy. II makes marriage a civil
as well IS q religious ceremony, and, in fact,
leaves the religious element a matter of choice.
1t transfer the custody of the village and town
records from the clergy to the civil authority,
and permits divorces under circumstances that
are absolutely forbidden by the Catholic
Church. This law, taken in connection with
the laws for the secularization OF education in
Austria, is severe blow at the hitherto all
powerful influence Of the Catholic clergy and
was warmly resisted by them as tending TO di-
mnish their prestige and authority among the
masses OF the people II also received the decided
opposition Of the Pope and his Holiness was
80 offended that he refused to receive the Aus
TRAN ambassador, who was sent to smooth over
affairs, and negotiate for a revision of the Con-
eordat. The Pope even threatens to withdraw
his Nuneio from Vienna, and transfer him to
Berlin. Ii Is certainly one of the strange
whirligigs of modern times, that Protestant
Power like Prussia, represented too by Bis
marek, should supplant Austria in the favor of
the head of the Catholic Church.

ALEXANDRIA AND VICINITY.-We clip the
following from the Gazette Of last evening:
A Black Nan Killed.-We understand that a
disturbance occurred at Orange Court House
on last Monday, court day. which resulted in
serious injury to Mr. Robert Richardson, and
the death Of a black man. 1t is stated that the
negro was very dlsorderly, and that the Sher-
IN ordered his arrest, which was undertaken
by Mr.. Richardson, who was knocked down
and inJuren, but who, in the strife, drew a
knife. with which he inflicted wound on the
negro, from the effects of which he died in a
very short time. Mr.. r. gave himself up to
the auth critics, and the case will be inyestl.
gated.

impossible TO make any change in the time and

ago for Boston, in charge of twenty young
colOred women, who have determined to seek
their fortunes IN more northern climate.

JoHS BULLS COTTON BoNDs.-The holders
OF the Confederate cotton loan have applied TO
Lord Stanley, begging him to insist upon their
right TO be paid by the United States. The
English Secretary for Foreign Affairs replied
- very eoldly to the memorial, stating that if a
mixed commission for considering the general
CLAIMS of the two countries should be set on
foot, the petitioners, if they saw proper, could
submit their demand. These bondholdeIs. who
admit that their object in lending to the slave
holders was to make fortune out of the high
price Of cotton, present an argument which,
no doubt, is highly satisfactory to them
selves, but which cannot for a moment
resist the force of an intelligent examination.
They attempt to draw a parallel between Prus-
STA and the Confederacy. but there is no law of
nations recognizing the principle that the pa
rent State Is responsible for debts of de facto
government established in portion of it's ter
ritory. The doctrine of principal and agent,
also adduced, Is an abstraction, and, in fact,
the whole ground taken by these Justly defeated
spectators Is untenable. They staked their
money on the success OF the Southern Confed
eracy and lost.
