The English Language.

William Cullen Bryant gives a
young contributor to the Post, the
following timely advice, which ev
cry young lady or gentleman who
aspires to literary fame, would do
well to follow: ....
"My young friend, I observe that
you have used several French ex-
pressions in your article. I think
ifyou will study the English Ian
guage, that you will be capable OF
expressing all the ideas you may
have. 1 have always found it SO,
and in all that / have written I do
not recall an instance where I was
tempted to use a foreign word, but
that, on searching, I found a better
one in my own language"

~President Grant was present

phia. 1 have always been warmly

tifying manner than en- the present

Great complaint has been made that
the administration had discharged
all the capable men in the depart
ment, and appointed new clerks
merely on the score of politics, but
it appears that of the present Treas
ury force four-ffths are old EN-
ployes. No reduction has been
made in the Interior Department ex-
cept the discharge of forty tempo
rary clerks. In this department
there are about eight hundred
employees, one hundred and fifty of
whom are new. The force in the
War Department has been reduced
by about two hundred discharges,
and very few men appointments
have been made. There are also
very few changes in the State de-
partment, and no reduction. The
largest relative number of changes
has been made in the Post Office
Der artment, owing to the extrava-
gance Of Governor Randall in the
management of the department., and
the large number of employees whom
he employed contrary to law. Gen
eral Terrell found sixty female
clerks in the dead letter office more
than were allowed by law. 1t is be-
lieved that the saving to the govern
ment in department employees alone
will amount in the present year to
not less than two millions of dollars
much of which would have gone tc
the retail trade of Washington.

DISTASTEFUL.

We are not at all surprised that
the appearance of growing Rroos-
ters, or any other indications of
joy, in Republican papers, over the
recent brilliant Republican triumphs
in Iowa, Pennsylvania, and Ohio,
should prove so very distateful to
certain so-called Democratic edi-
tors and politicians. Every rebel
defeat, from the fall of Vicksburg
to the surrender of Lee, under the
lead of General Grant, has been a
terrible torture to their rebel hearts
and any Republican victory now, is
equally obnoxious to them.

ED. JEFF.-A little girl, about
four years old, daughter of Mrs.
Janurah Perse, living one mile west
of Cannonsburg, was fatally burned,
on Monday evening, October 25. =
She was left alone in the house,
while out doing the evening chores,
when her brother, about four years
her senior, coming to the house, dis
covered her clothes on fire He i'm
mediately informed his mother, but
by this time assistance was useless.
She was burned to ahardened black
crisp, from her knees to her head,
and after suffering great agony, she
expired about an hour after the ac-
cident. She was a handsome and
very promising child. The fire is
supposed to have been communi-
Gated to her clothes from the hearth
Of a stove in the room.-Hameock JEFF.

A CANDID LETTER FROM
PRESIDENT GRANT. ~-

The following letter of President
Grant to Judge Dent, now conser-
vative candidate for Governor of
Mississippi, has just been given to
the public:
LONG BRANCH, Aug. 1, 1869.
DEAR JUDGE: I am so thorough
ly satised in my own mind that the
success of the So called conserva-
tive Republican party in Mississippi
would result in the defeat of what !
believe to be for the best interest of
the State and country, that have
determined to say so to you in
writing. OF course I know or be
lieve that your intentions are good
in accepting the nomination from
the conservative party. l would re
gret to see you run for an Office and
be defeated by my act, but as mat
ters now look I must throw the
weight of my influence in favor Of
the party opposed to you.
earnestly hope that before the elec-
ton there will be such concessions
on either side in Mississippi as to
unite all true supporters in the State
of reconstruction and the Admins
tration together in support of one
ticket
Here followed passage of a pri
vate nature. The letter concludes
as follows:
I write this to you solely that you
may not be under any wrong i'm
preston as to what regard or may
hereafter regard as public duty
Personally I wish you well, ant
would do all in my power, proper te
be done, to secure your success
but, in public matters, personal feel
ings will not influence me.
With kindest regards,
! Yours truly,
U. S. GRANT.
