Gen. Grants Speech.

The response of Gen. Grant to the com
mittee, notifying him officially of his
election to the Presidency of the United
States, which will be found in this paper,
will meet with the approval of every pat
riotic citizen. An economical administra-
ton, and strict integrity on the part OF
the subordinate officers of the government
is what the people deem Of vital impor-
lance, in the present condition of ourpub-
lie affairs. The people will rally to the
support of such principles, as Gen. Grant
has indicated, to be the governing policy
of his administ ration. His expressed pur-
pose not to make public the names of
those, whom he will call for his Cabinet
advisers, until he enters upon his official
duties as President of the United States,
will be regarded as a wise and judicious
determination. The plain, business-lke
character of his speech, viii commend
itself to the country.

Posi- OFFICE Quite a lively time is
being had in many localities, over the
new Post office appointments, which are
expected to be made on the incoming OF
the new administration. The GAINESVILLE
Gazette, says the contest for the Post Office
in that city, sis already red hot, and get
ting hotter every day" Things are run
ming pretty much the same way in
many other places. In this city there is
no special excitement, and the canva 8 is
proceeding rather quietly.
Since the foregoing we, learn the
people of GAINESVILLE, have had an
election to express their preferences o
the different candidates. Miss King q
long time clerk in the Post office, received
43 votes over the next highest candidate
1t is alledged that some Of the candidates
having dubious prospects, cast their in
fuence for Miss King, for the purpose o.
defeating the most popular male competi
tor for the Office.

Compulsory Education.

A short article has been going the
rounds of the newspapers, which seems to
be regarded by some as complete extin-
guisher of the theory of compulsory edu-
cation; 1t first appeared in the Janeville
Gazette as a Madison correspondence
of that paper, and the aVidiry with which
it has been caught up by other journals
indicates its being looked upon as a rare
specimen of argument.
As stated in the TELEGRAPH o few
weeks ago, Mr. Bingham in the Assembly
at Madison introduced BILL compelling
children of q given age, to attend school.
The article to which we refer, denounces
the bill of Mr.. Bingham, as adapted to a
"barbarious people" tyrannic and degrad-
ing The only attempt at argument is
the following
"As q proper sequence to this BILL there
should be another, for the compulsory
training of everybody's child i'll useful
trade and labor, and then where should
legislation stop?"
No logical sequence" of this kind, can
be drawn from the premises. The state
has never undertaken to make general le-
gal provision for training children to "use-
full trades, but it has undertaken and does
make specific provision for the common
school education of all the children in the
state, of given age. For the accom-
plishment of this object, the State raises
means by taxes, and appropriates of the
public funds: it provides for the building
of school houses, the employment OF
teachers, and prescribes what branches
shall be taught in the schools. In short
the State makes all needful provision fol-
the support of schools, and for all the
necessary machinery, with the intent Of
imparting to every child of suitable age
the benefits of education.
The State holds the education Of the
rising generation, to be public necessity
for the protection and perpetuity of oul
free institutions The question now pre-
sented, is shall this patriotic and good
intent be defeated, OF only partially secur,
ed, because multitudes obstinately refuse
to be educated! The rightfulness of the
State to provide the means Of education
to the extent it does beng admitted, the
matter to be determined Is, shall compul
aory education he resortad to az a further
means of attaining the end the State seeks
to secure? Shall the blessings of educa
ton tail to be made general, because o.
the perversity of the idlers and the indo
lent? This is the true issue, and nc
amount of talk about compelling children
to learn useful trades" or to do certain
other things, has any relevancy to the
question whatever.

Unmarketed Wheat.

Some of our exchanges in the interior
of the state, express the opinion that not
over forty per cent of the last years crop
of wheat, has been sold by the producer
Whether farmers ought to sell now OF

probabilities of loss or gain have doubt

~- Everything at Madison. indicates an
early adjournment of the Legislature.
The present prospects ale, that the SEES
sion will be the shortest one for several
years past. The Madison Journal of Mon
day, speaks of the business of the Legis-
lature, as follow9:-
From present appearances the grist
ground out by the present Legislature will
be much smaller than those of its recent
predecessors, whereby the public will not
be sufferers. The number of bills intro
duced in the Senate thus far is 176, in the
Assembly $40, with only one memorial to
Congress in each House, which is much
smaller amount of business presented than
last year at this date, and the number Of
resolutions is also unusually small. The
aggregate will doubtless be largely in.
creased tonight, as this is the last day
for the introduction Of new business.
Thus far 80 bills have passed both houses,
81 originating in the Assembly and 81 in
the Senate. Most Of them however were
concurred in during the last day or two
before the recess, and have not yet been
sent to the Governor. The total number
of bills memorials and joint resolutions,
which have received the Executive APP
prevail, is only 20.

MULLINS, of Tennessee, is the newest
style of orator at Washington. Don Piatt
describes him as something wonderful.
He spoke last week on "Lo, the Poor In

volcanic eruption of tropes, figures, met
aphors, poetry, statistical facts, and insane
middle of ideas. His voice is clear and
piercing-his flow of words perfectly in
comprehensive. No mill-race, full to
Overlooking from the ruptured dam, ever
poured. along such torrent as this orator
of Tennessee. Almost every member left
his seat, and crowding about him, they
laughed and applauded as he swung on,
picturing the woes of the red man, and
tumbling in the continent of America, up
on Asia, Africa, Arabia, and the Holy
Land, with passing glance at the starry
heavens, the terrestrial globe, hell and
the devil-in which last named he located
rebels and copperheads, leaving them tax
ing the oath. of allegiance, amid shrieks
of tends and roars of laughter from the
House. Imagine man OF medium size,
thin, angular, grizzly as John Brown, some
sixty years of age, swinging his arms like
wlndnills, with face aiame; veins on his
forehead swelled to whip cords, and q
voice pouring out this torrent of contra
dictory and impossible things, and you
have my Mullins.

CONGRESSIONAL ExcITEMENT.-On the
meeting OF both Houses of Congress last
week, under joint resolution to declare the
electoral vote for President and Vice Pres

out of Gen. Buffers objection, to the count
ing of the vote of Georgia. The pro
ceedings were tumultuous and discredita-
bic, lasting long time. Gen. But
Ter was particularly severe on the ruling
OF Senator Wade, the presiding officer,
and offered resolution of censure- The
counting or not counting of the vote OF
Georgia, was of no practical Importance
as it did not change the result. Alter
much rather acrimonious debate, the mat
ter was finally disposed of by laying the
whole subject on the table by vote OF

Democratic paper established last summer
under the leadership of Mr. Martin OF
Milwaukee, after struggling for life for a
few months, has been discontinued. Mr..
Martin complains of bad treatment from
the Racine Democrats he says they
promised him bonus of 81 900 to start
the paper. The money was raised, but he
was subsequently given to understand,
that it was only to be regarded as loan,
and obliged him to give a mortgage on
the office. Under this embarrassing be
ginning, Mr.. Martin stemmed through
nearly six months and suspended.
