REPORTS.
The Superintendent of Water Works
submitted bills for labor. &C., during
the month of December, amounting to
S5li 90: also, for sundries, $452 .16, which
were ordered to be paid OH recommends
ton of committee. The committee also
recommended that the applications OF
III. Shmulback, Frank Unruh, Antony
Kramer, Mrs. Wier and James Ferret,
for reduction of water taxes, be grant
ed, and those of +. Falloure, Johnston
& Gill and David Mas, be rejected
The report of the committee was
adopted.
Sometime was spent in discussing the
bill allowed the contractor for deliver
I ing coal at the Water Works and to the
poor. 1t was contended that the
amount reported by the committee was
in excess Of the contract price. 1t was
shown, however, that such was not the
case, and the bill was ordered to be paid
At subsequent hour of the meeting
Mr.. Hughes introduced a resolution that
the contractor be paid Sl.35 per lOC
) bushels for delivering coal to the Water
Works since the LIST of November, and
$3.50 per 100 bushels for that distribu
ted to the poor. This resolution was
amended by making the price Sl.35 IL
both cases, and adopted. In this shape
it was sent to the First Branch where
it was amended by reducing the price
to S1.00 for delivering to the poor, and
returned to Second Branch for its &C
tion. The Second Branch concurred
and the matter disposed OF.
, The committee on Accounts repor'c d
L. bills amounting to 1898, for the month
of December, which were ordered to bt
, paid. The committee returned the bill
of DR.. Mccoy for making out the month

Under these favOring auspices very graft iying
progress has been made in extending the railroad
track from both directions. Nearly 1000 miles
of the Main Line and converging Branches be
tween the Missouri River and the base of the
Rocky Mountains have been built within three
years. The CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD has
also steadily and successfully carried the Main
Stem Line from the steamboat navigation of the
Pacific to the summit Of the Sierra Nevada, and
into the Great Salt Lake Basin east of the Cali.
fOrnia line. Having overcome by far the most
difficult and expensive portion Of the whole
line the probabilities of the through connection
with the Eastern lines being effected in 1870
amount almost TO certainty.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13, 1869.
The President Elect Receives HIS Commits
sion-Honesty and Economy TO be the
Features of the New administration.

One of the most important ceremonies
that has yet occurred in connection with
the incoming administration was perform
ed to-day, when General Grant was Off
cially informed by Congress of his cleo
ton as President of the United States.
For the past day or two everybody has
shared in the general excitement created
by the discussion of and speculations upon
what Grant would say upon this interest
ing occasion. 1t was generally supposed
that he would disclose to the favored few
who might then be admitted into his pre-
sence not only the names of the gentle
men whom he had concluded TO invite
into hrs Cabinet, but that he would talk
freely of his plans and intentions concern
ing his approaching administration. Not
wlthstanding the universal interest man
lfested to learn these highly important
facts, however, there were but few peo-
pie gathered Aarmy headquarters when
the Congressional Committee arrived, al
though it had been extensively published
that the committee were to be received
at eleven o'clock this morning. About
half a dozen frequenters Of army head
quarters, principally officers in the War
Department., and two or three Newspaper
correspondents, were in waiting when
the committee arrived, which was thirty

say the country desires TO nave succeed
economy, retrenchment, faithful coll
lection of the revenue and payment
of the bubble debt. II I should fail in
making my first choice of assistants [
should not hesitate to make a second, or
even a third trial, in the hope that [
should at last be successful, in the matter
OF removals | will be governed alone by
the necessities of the service. [ should
just as soon remove from their positions
my W appointees as [ should those of
my predecessors. There is one other
matter it may he proper to mention here,
for it may be that something of the kind
is expected of me, that is, in regard 10
the composition of my Cabinets I have
always felt that ii would be indicate, on
my part, to announce those whom | in
tended to invite into my Cabinet, or even
to consult in regard to their selection un-
Ill | had been officially informed of my
election, but did intend 10 do so at this
time. Now, however, after observation
and reflection, | have come to the con-
clusion that there is not q IN in the
country whom | could invite to my Cabi-
net who would not, Immediately after the
announcement, be the object of all kinds
OF adverse criticisms, in the hopato pre-
vent his selection and confirmation, even
among my own friends and those of the
party which elected me. Many would
attempt to change my determination. [
have, therefore, concluded not to make
known, even to the gentlemen them
selves, the names of the Cabinet officers
unui | send their nominations to the
Senate. If [ should notify the gentle
men at all, whom [ may choose, in ad-
vance of their nominations, it would not
be more than two or hree days pre-
viousIy.
When the General stated that he
would as soon remove from office those
appointed by himself as he would those
appointed by his predecessor, the faces
of those present who were already in
possession of comfortable offices were
interesting to behold. The expression of
pure perpIexity depicted therein was
more calculated to excite sympathy for
them than commisseration. This was
evidently an enigmatical sentence to
them, and did not furnish any better clue
to the policy that was 10 govern appoint
ments and removals than existed before.
Did he mean that men now in office need
not anticipate a general removal, or did
he mean that a terrible onslaught was to
be made upon the appointees of his pre-
decessors? wrhat was a question just as
far from a solution now as it was a month
ago. When he said he had concluded to
withhold the names of the gentlemen he
expected to call into his Cabinet until
they were nominated to the Senate; Mr..
Morton nodded his head %approvingly,

The Book BUSINEss-But few persons
have any proper comprehension of how vast
is the book business in this country. Take
one item for instance, as illustrative; Mat
thew Hale Smiths Sunshine and Shadow in
New York. which is the exciting work of
the day, has already reached the enormous
sale of $4,000 copies within thirty days.
The publishers q. B. Burr & Co., Of Hart
ford, Conn use two tons of paper a day,
and run six large roller presses constantly to
supply the current demand. This is doing
a wholesale business with one book alone.
This is large work too, it must be remem-
bered, between seven and eight hundred
pages royal octave; and yet it is said to rival
in rapidity of sale Uncle Toms Cabin of
