the clergymen Of the vicinity; after each sermon
a prayer meeting, in which most of the praying
people of the village with ministers all unite as

Gen. Grants speech on Saturday, to the Con-
mittee that notified him Of his election-the
longest one, by the way, he ever made-pleases
sensible and fairminded men everywhere. Even
the Democrats profess to like ii, while shaking
in their shoes at the prospect Of an admins
tration so popular as TO be the death of the
Democratic party. The General announced, in
so many words, what the country understood to
be the case before, viz that he intended bis ad-
ministration should be marked by economy,
retrenchment, faithful collection Of the revenues.
and the payment of the public debt; further
more, that he was keeping and intended to keep
his own council, as to his cabinet, in order to
avoid the pressure of g sets and delegations, -
for and against particular persons. The an
nounoement does not lessen speculations about
the cabinet 1t is said now that the prospect
looks like Boutwell, for the Treasury, Schofield
for war, Porter for the Navy, AMI Mr.. Wilson of
Iowa, for Attorney General But whereas it
was believed, before. that nobody Except Grant,
knew, now it is knoIca that nobody knows, who
will compose the cabinet.
