would have the support of the peopl,
! of the nation, even including thos,
who differed politically from him il
administering the affairs of the Gov
ernmcnt.
Ga receiving the certificate O
election, General Grant said that
in accepting the office of Presi
dent of the United States. he
assured them of his determination tc
carry out faithfully the obligations OF
that Office, and referred particularly
to the necessities of an honest and
| faithful execution of the revenue
laws. He would call around him men
who would earnestly carry out the
principles of economy, retrenchment
asd honesty, which were desired by
the people of the country Shoald
the officers of the different branches
of the Government service not satisfy
him in the discharge of their official
duties, he would not hesitate a mo
ment about removing them, and
would do so just as quickly with his
own appointments as with those of
his predecessor. Gen. Grant stated
that he had not announced his Cabi-
net up 10 the time of the official de-
claration of the result of his election,
but had intended at that period to
make known the names of those
whom he would invite to become mem
bers. In the interval, however. he had
concluded not to make known the
names of the gentlemen whose SER
vices he would be glad to have In
this respect, even to the gentlemen
themselves, till he sent them into the
Senate for confirmation. The rea
son for this, Gen. Grant said, was be-
cause of the fact that should he do
so, q pressure would immediately
commence from various parties to en-
deavor to induce him to change his
determination; not so much, proba
bly,, from the fact of the opposition
that would be made from personal
motives. but on account Of the inter
est which the gentlemen may have for
their own friends. For these, and
other reasons, he had concluded to
make no public announcement OF his
Cabinet till the time mentioned.
Gen. Grant spoke without any re-
serve, and with the greatest fran kness
and courtesy. His remarks were re
ceived by his distinguished visitors
with every mark Of interest aud ap-
probation. The speeches were deliv-
cred more in a conversational tone
than in the formal set maaneF, and
the occasion was one of quiet and the
most intense interest. Members of
his staff were present. About twenty
gentlemen were present. including the
commissary and staff officers.
The committee. after leaving Gen.
Grants headquarters, proceeded to
the Capitol and waited upon Speaker
Colfax in his reception room, and pre-
sented him with a certificate of his
election as Vice President, signed by
the President Of the Senate, and then
seyerally congratulated him, to which
friendly expressions he responded as
follows:
GENTLEMEN: Please convey to the
Houses of Congress. my acceptance of
the office to which i have been elect
ed by the people of the United States,
and assure them / shall eudeavor to
prove worthy of this mark of conf
dence by fidelity to principles aud
duty.
The COMMITTEES then Withdrew.

Disraeli's wife.

Mr.. Disraeli has done wise thing and kind
thing In refusing peerage for himself, and ac-
ceptiDg one for his wife, who is henceforth to be
known as the viscountess Of Beaconsfeld. Mr..
time ago, took from him all hope of handing down
to posterity any hereditary titles and honors
which he might win for himself. Mr.. Disraeli
married in 1889, and, like many other great men
daughter of Mr.. Evans, an officer of the navy.
and the widow Of Mr.. W. Lewis, member Of
Parliament for Bucks county. She brought TO
Mr.. Disraeli fortune, of which he stood In no
little need. he hes rewarded her by thirty years
of chivalric devotion, and by making her share in
his honors publicly; and now he has crowned her
with dignity, to attain which there is scarcely q
woman in England who would not sacrifice every.
thing save her virtue or her beauty. The new
siscountess of Beaconsfeld is lady of great
amiability and kindness. As Mrs. Disrseli, she
has enjoyed q universal and welldeserved popu-
larity; and there will be few, even among her
own sex, who will begrudge her the great honor
which she now receives; Nothing Is so precious
in the eyes Of an English woman as rank and
what could be so fsttering to woman as to be
thus singled out for honor, as q reward for the
seryices and as an acknowledgment Of the genius
Of her husband? Had Mr.. Disraeli accepted a
peerage for himself his wife, of course. would
have shared his title; he refuses the honor for
himself, and asks the queen, who can deny him
nothing, to place the coronet upon the brow Of
his wife. 1t is q graceful and admirable act, but
it s also an excellent stroke of political policy.
The whole of Mr.. Disraeli's career has been
marked by instances of exquisite TACT but seldom,
if ever, has he done anything at once so graceful
and SO wise as this surrender of an honor for
which he cares nothing, and the possession of
which at this moment would only embarrass him.
1t Is remembered that on the occasion of the ban
quet given to MIR. Disrael last year in Edinburgh
he said, while replying TO toast to Mrs. Dlsrae,
II owe to that lady all that / have ever accom-.
plished, because she has supported me by the
sweetness of her mind and disposition. You can.
not please me more than by paying this compli
ment to my wife," But the time has not yet come
for Mr. Dsraeli to retire to that political extinc
ton which would await him in the House of Lords.
The belief that Mr.. Gladstone will not be able to
hold his party together and that the victory just
won by the Liberals at the polls will prove bar
rem one, continues to gain ground, and think
that bets could be obtained here to-day, at long
Odds that even If Disraeli retires from Office next
month. he will be in power again before the Easter
Letter.

SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 10, 1869.
The Firss Dnew-Fall.

The First Snowfall.
The snow had begun IN the cleaning,
And busily all the night
Had been heaping field and highway
with silence deep and white.
Every pine, and ir, and hemlock
Wore ermine too dear for an earl,
And the poorest twig on the elm tree
Was fringed inch deep with pearl.
From sheds new rooted with Csrrara
Came chandeliers muffied crow;
The stif rails were softened to swans down,
And still futtered down the snow.
stood and watched by the window
The noiseless work Of the sky,
And the sudden furries of snow-birds,
Like brown leaves whirling BY.
thought Of q mound in sweet Auburn
Where little maidstone stood
How the fakes were folding IL gently,
As did robins the babes in tho wood.
Up spoke our own little Mabel,
Saying: Father. who makes IL snowsn
And told Of the good All.father,
Who cares for Us all below.
Again looked at the snowfall,
And thought of the leaden sky
That srched DER our first great sorrow,
When the mound was hesped 80 high.
remember the gradual patience
That fell from that cloudlike snow,
Flake by flake, healing and hiding,
The scar Of that deep-stabbed woe.
And again to the child whispered:
" The snow that husheth all,
Darling, the merciful Father,
Alone can make it fall"
Then, with eyes that saw not, kissed her.
And she, kissing back, could not know
That my kiss was given to her sister,
Folded close under deepening snow.
