The Will of the People.

The triumphant election of General
Grant is not only the ratification, but it
is q final interpretation of the war. From
the moment that General Lee surrender
ed to General Grant in the field, there
has been loud debate as to the real
significance of the war, and what was
actually settled by it. The Democratic
theory was that othing had happened
but riot DUNG which slavery had ceas-
ed to exist in the old form. The Presi
dents theory was partly this, and partly
som ething else which was not very intel
ligible. He declared that the States
were suspended, lying in kind of polit
ical catalepsy, from which he proposed
to awaken them by assuming absolute
power, which he did in his North Caro-
lima proclamation. This was, of course,
hopeless confusion, and gradually the
President has disappeared in the Demo
cratic embrace. The Republican party
have contended that with slavery fell
everything that sprang from slavery,
tice and honor, but reason and common
sense, indicated equal suffrage in the re
covered States as the only security Of
order and of the restoration Of normal
situation under free popular govern
ment. +a Ls. Gotta -z9 zs4-1.
- The election was joined upon the is
sue The Southern leaders returned to
the Convention at Tammany Hall, and
took their old places at the head Of the
party. They repudiated everything in
the Republican policy of Recon struction,
declared for the national dishonor, and
nominated candidates that pleased them.
The consequence was that there has
been no obscuritv as to the real point Of
the canvass. Shall the general Con
gressional policy of reconstruction be
sustained or abandoned? was the ques
ton. Are the people of the United
States resolved that they will reconstruct
the Union upon principles agreeable tC
them, or do they prefer that the late reb-
e shall reconstruct it as hey prefer?
Are the people afraid of negro suprsma-
CIV, or do they believe with Gen Long
street, and with the testimony of all ex-
perience, that the cry of negro suprema-
cy is the mere cat call of a canvass?
Do they think that they cannot constitu-
tionally say aword upon the subject of
reconstruction, or is their authority, un-
der the circumstances, supreme? Have
they learned that the Democratic cry of
ssnigger,' which has been sounding for
generation, is merely noise to con
fuse the public mind that it may not see
that ignorance and injustice of every
kind mean endless agitation? Is the
North resolved that its idea shall gov
ern the country as the idea of The South
has governed it for many dreary year?
These were the questions, simple,
sharp, clear, and the answer is tremen-
duous A futile effort was made to OBJ
scure the real point, and to fix the pub
lie attention upon financial questions,
but every man instinctively knew that
the political interest necessarily takes
precedence at such time az this of tie

A new constitutional amendment has
been introduced in Congress which pro-
poses to make Suffrage in the United
States, universal. It is backed by petit
tions bearing nearly one hundred thou
sand names. This amendment will
probably come up for discussion in
few days. II it passes both branches Of
Congress BY a tgo thirds vote, it will
then come before the State Legislatures,
and will require the assent of three
fourths of them before it can become a
part ofthe Consultation. Tue tendency
OF currents points to an early agitation
of this great question. The amendment
as proposed. includes women aud negro
suffrage. It may be doubted whether
the measure can be adopted now, but it
is certain to be one of the prominent
questions before the American people
for years to come, and may eventually
be adopted 62t cE t!8 ssazss

One can find in all large cities with
little trouble, shoemakers with brains,
who work upon principle, who use their
intellect. We know scores OF such; but,
alas! we are obliged to acknowledge that
we know hundreds, who have never car
ried any real brains into the profess
sion. Such men would do TO work by
the rule or sle scale, purely mechanical.

sSierstadt, the renowned painter, meas
uring by compass and foot.ru the per-
spective of his landscapes, or Rosa Bon
heur, mapping out her cattle and horse
scenes at SO many inches per animal, as
a good shoemaker resting satisfied with
his preliminaries for perfectly fitting,
easily worn, and durable foot or shoe,
with merely getting the latitude and
longitude of a pair of feet. The tread
of the subject is studied. The peculiar
method and manner of planting the foot
upon the earth is ascertained by the old
and ill-ftting shoe or boot, and the man
of science corrects and perfects. OF
late years all first class boot and shoes
makers have plaster casts taken Of the
feet of their customers, and then last
made to perfectly harmonize in all par
ticulars with this cast, such men are
sure to turn out good work, aud these
artists give character to the profession.
Thought, mind, the necessity of stud
ying anatomy, led to the idea of the
plaster cast, and since this step we have
heard much less of corns and bunions,
and much less Of tight boots and the ag-
ony resulting when worn at an evening
party where one is expected to trip the
light fantastic toe with thermometer ut
eighty degrees. Who of US in times of
old, before the man of science was
found in the ranks of the shoemaker,
has not suffered? If, however, we suffer
to-day, it is our own fault, for shoema-
