The Formal Announcements

of the election of General GRANT will be
made to him to-day by Senator MORTON and
Representatives WILSON and PRuYS, who
are appointed committee for that purpose.
We suppose this will be considered the first
"order," and under it General GRANT,
soldier like, will go more directly to the
business of preparation for the assumption
Of the duties of his high Office. AS it will
be necessary that he shall have the advice
of the gentlemen he may select to form his
Cabinet, during this period of preparation,
it probable he will soon make their names
known and call them to Washington. From
to-day, therefore, it may he said the new
administration begins work-preparatory,
indeed, to the commencement Of its official
term, but none the less important for that.

The Kick at the Senate. y


We publish to-day pretty full reports of
the debate in the House of Representa-
tiyes on BUTLER's resolution-his move
ment to kick the Senate 1t is q
spioy affair. 1t developes feelings and
mutual dislikes which have been, proba-
bly,, long in existence, and throws some
light upon the revolution of party relations
which has been going on for some time,
and will be more positively demonstrated
after the 4,h of March. The three Gays
fight In the House of Representatives has
been a bitter one but it was not upon a
direct issue. II was more like skirmish-
ing for position.
The fact 10, the conflict of Wednesday
and its prolongation in the House. was upon
n sort of mixed issue. First, there was d
spite against the Senate on the part OF the
House because the Senate was IN posses
sion Of s power over the Executive which,
while It increased the consequence Of the
Senate by comparison, dwarfed the House.
The House forced that power upon the
acnate but, naturally, that only increased
the bitterness of the House-its spite to-
wards the Senate being aggravated by the
reflection that it had committed the folly of
comforting power upon that body which 1t
was unable to take away. In this feeling the
moderate Republicans sympathized. But
when it came to indulging this spite
in the attempt of BUTLER to over
awe The Senate and disregard the
decisions of the President of that body,
of course there was another side to the
question. 1t became on issue between de-
corum and violence, order and disorder.
The liberals then came out from amongst
the ultras, and went over to their oppo-
nents, or, rather, gathered upon platform
d Of their own. We cannot judge exactly
how far the feelings of the two sides in this
last division may be Influenced by DISPOSE
tions towards the incoming Administra-
ton but we will venture to say that while
friends of General GRANT may be on the
side of BUTLER, we feel satisfied that those
who oppose him are oil for GRANT save the
Democrats, and they will throw all their
weight in favor of him upon al questions
the liberal side of which is the GRANT
side.
In short, we believe that the angry scenes
of the week have facilitated the separation
and reformation of parties in Congress
upon national questions.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1869-02-13

and that nothing could be done until the
House got rid of "these interlopers' =
pointing to the senators-was one OF 'ho
rarest specimens of "politeness that nave
been witnessed in this day Of rare things
Imagine BUTLER with his eye in q " me
phrenzy rolling" darting those rays sasur-
nine which, in excitement, that eye always
sends forth, gazing at the senators anu
shaking his finger at TRuMBULL ana hs
sEspEN, and DooLITTLE and WADE "A
SIMMER, and calling them "lnterlopei''
The scene could not be e1ceiied lor ora-
m attic effect.
Is this display of personal wrath and in
sulting insinuation, such as the nero Oh
Fort F;sber uttered towards Messrs. WADE
and CoLrAx, to end with the alteration in
tho House 1t had 30 much the appearance of
irrepressible rancor one could hardly sup
pose it would die so soon. 1t ought to grow
romantic, for WADE Mt least is g man OF
ferocious resentments and we had i'm
agined that, after Wednesday, he could
hardly ever meet BUTLER without taunt-
ingly inquiring, DO you cock your eye at
me, sir ?" This piquancy, however, Is
estopped by the caving in Of BUTLER; for
on Thursday he declared that he " loved "
and " respected " Ben. This is worse than
Fort Fisher. We have no idea that Ben
WADE reciprocates these kind expressions.
BUTLER may 60 on respecting and loving
or let it alone but neither will alter his
position. WADE and CoLFAx have the bet
ter of him, and will likely keep it.

INHUMAN.
An Example of "TOfaI De-
pravily.
A Father Murders His Step
daughter.
He is Arrested and Sent TO Jail.

We take the following from the
Athens (Ala. Post Of the 9th inst: In
the quiet n~eighb0rhood of Gilbertsbor-
rough there lived an industrious negro
family, some time ago, named Roberts,
consisting of father, mother and two
daughters, the eldest OF the daughters
about fourteen, the other a mere infant.
They were Woodworking, religious peo-
pie, and were universally respected, and
bid fsir 500 to get above want by their
industry and economy. Just as the fu-
ture vas looking so bright, the old man
sickened and died. This was q heavy
blow to the little family, but death
wouldn't wait, The widow shortly after
eonsoled herself by marrying a square
piece OF ebony named Alexander
Gilbert, a meaner, hsng-dog looking
niger never freed 8 pOss0m or robbed g
%hen.roost. Eliza soon learned that she
had put her fool In it, or, in other words,
had made e bad bargain of il, for, in
stead OF finding her Alexander a loving,
doting husband, he proved to be g cruel,
merciless taskmaster. The once happy
cabin, from whence formerly arose the
devout morning thanks and the grateful
evening hymn, was now the scene OF
fighting and bitter blasphemy.
The latest and most atTocI0us of his
crimes was thai, committed q few days
since, OF beating the youngest OF his
step-dGaghters, only nine Years of age,
to death, for some trivial Offense. He
was arrested and, after an examination,
was sem to Jail at this place, ;and will lie
tried at the next term Of the Criminal
Court,

The NeU Eclectic The first number
Of the new magazine, formed by the fu-
sion Of the Land We Lone and the NeaO
Eclectic, comes to US a decided improve
ment on both. All that was good in
each has been retained, and thst which
Was not so, has been carefully Weeded
out. As the magazine nov is, we will
match it against the best that is
issued from the Northern press
either in point of elegance of makeup
and appearance, or the tone and chaTac-
ter of the original or selected articles.
Gen. Hill, the former editor of the Land
We Love, remains at Charlotte, n. G.,
but all communications intended for the
magazine, or other business with its ed
itors, must be addressed to Baltimore.
The GGiGIy.-The April number con-
tains a confirmation OF Charles Resde's
novel, Put Yourself in His Place, an
article on the Great Danger of the Re-
public, by Professor Darwin Smith,
To Marry or Not to Marry, The
Exile World Of London, etc. The
Miscellany, Drift Wood, Nebu-
len, " are interesting ola pOdrtdG Of tie
world Of literature and art. There is
also q supplement to this number, con-
tanning the finale OF Cipher.
OaUdrd. This nice little magazine
for good, puritanicsl little Yankee boys,
whom their Christian parents wish to
rear up in tina good old creed OF hatred,
malignant, deadly hatred toward the
South and her people, is among those
that the mail has brought us for the
month. We recommend it to those
Southern parents who wish to teach their
children to despise them.
The Little Corporal is full Of interest
ing snd entertaining reading matter for
