VELoCIrEDEs CONDEMNED BY a PHYSICIAN.

says
1.-The severe jar upon the small hard seat
brought in contact with one of the most tender
portions of the anatomy, while sustaining the
whole weight OF the body, would be liable to
infict injuries under any circumstances. But
while the mind is absorbed in propelling, guild
ing and balancing the MACH ne, this is not per-
ceived, and often not until the injury is intict-
ed. Severe and obstinate cases of dysuria,
strangury, Inflammation Of the testes, and dis
ease OF the PROSTATE gland, traced directly to
to this source, have occurred in my practice.

Gen Grant Officially Notified of His
Election. What he Said.

On Saturday Il committee os CGnure~. mep
waited on the President elect, to pre- sent him
with the official certificate. The Glowing Is
the report OF the Interview
| Gen. Grant. receiving from senator Morton
the certificate of his election, assured them OF
his determination to carry out faithfully the
obligations of that office, and referred par,ic-
ulary to the necessity of an honest and faith
ful execution Of the revenue laws. He fwould
call around him men who would earnestly car
ry out the principles OF economy, retrenchment
and honesty which are desired by the people of
the country. Should officers Of different branch
es of the public service not satisfy him IN the
discharge Of their official dhty, he would not
hesitate 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 Cabinet up to the time OF the official de-
ciaration of the result Of the election, but had
| intended at that period to make known the
names Of those whom he would invite to be-
come members In the Interval, however, he
had concluded not to make known the names
OF the gentlemen whose services he would be
glad to have in this respect, even to the gen.
tlemen themselves, until he sent them into the
Senate for confirmation. The reason for this
determination Gen. Grant said. was the fact
that should he do so, pressure would mmed-
lately commence from various parties to en-
deavor to induce him to change his de,ermna-
ton, not SO much probably from the fact that
opposition would be made from personal mo-
tlves, but on account OF the interest which
gentlemen may have for their own friends.
For these and other reasons he had concluded
to make no public announcement of his Cab
net until they were nominated
| Afterwards Mr.. Pruyn, Democrat, OF the
committee addressed Gen. Grant very briefly,
to the effect that while the party with which he
was identified differed politically from the Pres
ident, he desired to assure him that his admin
istration, in carrying out the principles which
he had mentioned, would have their hearty sup
port and cooperation.
