TuE YoUNG MEN.-Parton writes " If
you look into the early life Of truly helpful
men, those who make life easier and nobler to
those who come after them, you will almost
inyariably find that they live purely in the
days Of their youth, In early life the brain,
though abouuding in vigor, is sensitive and
very susceptible to injury, aud this to such a
degree that comparatively brief and moder-
ate indulgence in vicious pleasure appears to
lower the tone and impair both the delicacy
aud efficiency of the brain for life This is
moi preaching, boys; it is simply the truth of
science."
That is true. Taking the lowest view Of
lie and character, the iolles of youth per-
nanently affect the mind. 1t is true also in
th higher plane of moral life. Our sins
make impressions upon US, giving direction
teour thoughts and shape to our purposes
'ht will be visible even long after we have
repcnted Of our sins. 1t is pernicious max
lm that young men "must SOW wild oats "
ltls false aud ruinous theory Of life that
'rents immortality in early life as a matter OF
difference. Ify you would be pure, noble,
Win men, be pure, honorable and useful
Mle young men.

POLITICAL.
General Grant Gives his Opinion of
the Tenure-of-ofico Act-What He
says about his Cabinet.

An interview took place on Thursday morn
ing at General Grants headquarters, between
the President elect md some gentlemen from
New York interested in the banking institu-
tiona of that city. In the course of the con-
yersation one of the gentlemen remarked that
the people looked forward to an economical ad-
ministration of the government during the
time to come. In reply, General Grant said
ssIt is my desire that the affairs OF the country
should be conducted as economically as possi-
bls, and shall try to have IL 80"
Hsre the General hestated for moment,
and then continued as follows: "We all know
what the Tenure.of-of law was enacted for.
1t was passed to prevent an Executive from
using the Office at his disposal for corrupt pur-
Doses. but from what they didin Congress yes
terday am disposed to think that the Senate
will desire to bo the judges as to what I shall
don Another pause. "Well, il they do not
repeal the law, certainly cannot make any
changes. cannot remove man without
making charges of character which would
blast his reputation, and that would not be
very agreeable, you noT; ana , inc result sui Will
tlnue to hold them until the end Of the terp',
no matter what nv desires may be. OF course,
this will save me all this ofhce-hunting bo-
ring" A gentleman, interrupting, 'That will
be Tery agreeable, no doubt" General Grant,
continuing, "Yes; but have no doubt that
there are in Office those who should be remov-
ed from the offices which they now hold. II it
is tho wish to economize, however, the Senate
evidently desires to be thejudge OF my actions,
and I shall have to bo the judge OF theirs" A
gentlemen, THAT will throw tho responsibility
Grant continued: 81 don't know; at any rate,
I shalI do the best car." Visitors were an
nounced, and the interview ended. The Ie-
marks of tile President were delivered with q
pleasant, smiling mapnor, but with evident
torethought. -
Alexander Mcclure, OF Pennsylvania, called
upon General Grant. a few days ago, and after
INQUIRY if il Is true that Pennsylvania is to have
member of the Cabinet. and receiving an
affirmative answer, he inquired it Governor
Curtin is the man. General Grant very
promptly said, "No; he is not" MIR. Mcclure
then informed General Grant that the Republi-
can ,arty would not bo satisfied with the NOM
ination OF any but prominent Radic,l who
had been identified with the party. Such q
man as George H. Stewart would not answer.
General G ant replied by saying, g! would like
10 know what loyal man cali object to MIR.
Stewart, or where there can be found better
or more worthy man."
A party of New Workers also made an effort
to draw from General Grant the name OF the
intended Cabinet officer to come from New
York, but he merely replied that tho nominee
would be satisfactory, no doubt.

General Grant opposes unseating the Gcor-
gia representatives, and the postponement Of
the Georgia matter by the Reconstruction
Committee is attributable to his influence.
General Young, member Of Congress from
Georgia, who has warm personal relations with
Grant, had an interview with him last night
regarding Georgia matters. General Grant
said that Congress could not get around recog-
nizing Georgia as State in the Union, and
that he himself was opposed to interfering
with her at all.
Grants visit to Boutwell, this morning grew
out of this interview.
The clerk of the House has not yet made the
roll of the next House. The recent statement
that he ha omitted Louisiana, and Georgia are
at least premature. In fact, but few credea-
tials have yet been presented. In regard to
Georgia, it seems to be understood that il the
certificates from Bullock are in the usual form,
the names will be placed on the ROLL but if the
Governor makes the certificates the vehicle Of
argssment or explanation, the clerk will hold
them for the consideration of the House.
