Effect Of Gen. Grants Speech.

Washington and New York specials, of the 18Th,
to the Louisville Courier-J Journal, say:
The speech Of General Grant to day on the oc-
casion OF receiving the certificate OF his election
as president has created decided sensation
among the members Of the Republican party,
especially the senatorial wing.
His declaration that he viii not make known his
cabinet until he dominates them respectively to
the senate on the 5th proximo, is accepted by
Radical senators as fair notice that he will listen
to no advice on the subject-a notice that is not
even received with concealed regret by promi-
nent members of the party, but with openly ex.
pressed dissatisfaction, In that the course be in
tends 70 pursue Ia contrary TO that pursued iby
Lincoln and previous presidents, and betrsys at
once reflection on the Senate for its virtual re-
fussl to repeal the civil tenure of Office act.
The Pacific railroad and other Hobbies are
startled at his expressed determination to insure
economy and retrenchment, and look upon II more
seriously than as the usual cstchwords Of political
professions. -
1t has thrown the ofice-seekers also In q COM
motion, scores of whom he refused to receive to-
day, and opened their eyes to protracted hotel
bills and other heavy expenses incident to great

terest than any Of Gen. Grants previous DECLARE
tons.
But, notwithstanding his retcence, nearly every.
body feels assured that he will retain General
Schofield as secretary of war, and nominate E. B.
Wsshburne, of Illinois, 90 minister to France.
The especial friends of Gen. Grant are alarmed
and Disguised with the discovery that the princi-
pie of the tenure Of Office law has been injected
into great variety of laws regulating the appoint

oths Honorable the Common Council of the City of New
Orleans:
Gentlemen-At meeting of this board held on
the 2lst January, the following resolutions were

impracticsble the adoption of any general or eff
cient system of drainage for the city OF New Or
leans.
Resolred further. That the drainage of the city
into said canal, provided the right could be OBJ
tanned from the corporations to do 80, would con-
vert the same into cess-pool injurious to
health and destructive of the value of property.

of Mr.. l.. Surgi, city surveyor, on the same sub
ject, was also unanimously adopted:
