th certificate Of his election rs Presi-
drnt of the United States. In response
&C. Senator Morton, Gen. Grant said
that il accepting the high Office con-
ferred upon him by his oountrymen, he
desired to assure them that he would
call around him men who would carry
out principles which the country de-
sired to be successful, which were
economy, retrenchmeot and tho faithful
collection Of the revenue, and if these
persons did not perform their duties,
he would not hesitate to supply their
places with those who would perform
their duties faithfully. He would re.
move his own appoiusees 4, soon a
those Of his predecess
He had not announced his Cabinet
up to tho present timo, but had intend
cd to do 30 after his official notification,
but after careful consideration
he had come to tho conclusion not to
make public the names Of those he
should choose, not even to tho parties
selected, until he should transmit their
names to tho Senate, because there is
not man in the country who, If named
for Il position in tie Cabinet, would
MT be assailed aud a great pressure
brought to bear by tho friends of va
rious parties. If not satisfied with his
first appointment, he would not hesitate
to mako a second one.
The Committee then waited upon
Speaker Colfax, who replied
GENTLEMEN PLEASE convey to the
Houses Of Congress my acceptance Of
the Office to which ] have been elected
by the people of the United States, and
assure them that I shall endeavcr to
prove worthy Of this mark of conf
