a great deal of nonsense hes been
written in regard to President Grant sp-
pointing relatives to office. So much
has been bsid, and said so loosely, that
peop.e nos posted would suppose that a
large portion of the offices were filed by
the relatives OF tss President Such,
however, is not the Ease. But very
few OF Grants relatives are in office, and
those who ars thus fortunate are fully
competent for the positions they hold.
In these discus s.ions, the press has
shown itself very iilibersl. We have
get to ses one paper that opposed the
relatives OF Grant % any other ground
than that they we're relatives. Not sne

power of conceivine time and space and
of the forms which underlie mathemat-
ical science, and of the distinctions be-
tween right and wrong. Natural selec-
ton could never lead to development OF
no vers so far removed from the material
necessities OF SAVAGE men, and which
even now sppear to have relation rather
to the future Of the race than to its
actual status.
None of these endowments confer any
immediate advantage, but they are all
necessary for til. full development of

lacs draws from them il, THAT superior
INTEL gence has guided the development
of man is dssnite direction and for a
special purpose, just as ma guides the
development of many animal and veg
eIable forms.'
Such an inference, by q cautious
scientific observer, brings 5. s.ientiiic
teaching into a close harmony with
revelation, and leads to belief in that
special Providence over mans advent
on earth, and his advance in civilization,
which the Bible makes known.

WASHINGTON, Dsc. Il.
Ths President said yesterday .hat the
1missio q to make any reference to the
eubject of amnesty in his annual mes
AZ wsa accidental. Hs intended 10
have -tated his views frsely upop the
question, but in The harry of making
Up the document in time 20 send it t.
Cougre.s, he csaitted &c do so. His pur
ose wss to call attention, in the fret
placeto the general misrepresentation pre-.
valent ia the untry, that large num-
ber of people sIe disfraGchised IN the
South by the Fourteenth Amendment
and by ths legislation Of Congress. This
!3elief, which has been fostsred by the
Democratic newspapers, is wholly All
aEroT, for in fsci TO Tlsn hss be. q depriy
a'i Of the rig ht 10 vote by the action of
Congress or by the force ofA CoRstjtu
.ionsl 2maniment. All disiTzu mise
-nent has been by virtue of tia laws
enacted by the Southern STATES them
selves, through their Legislatures, for
which Congress is in no way responsible.
This fact, the President thinks, ought
20 be iaors generally understood.
lie proposed, in the second place, to
lave discussed the propriety of remov-
ing tie disqaa!iiications from holding
office imposed by the Fourteenth Amend
lrrn.. His view Of the matter is that
the people of the South ought first to
accept the Fourtesnth aud Fifteenth
Amendments is, and give evidence that
they fully acknowledge their validity,
before asking FOR Amnesty nudsr the
provisions of rhs first of these Amend
mei,ts. The only power Congress has
10 grant etureStY Is is rirtus OF the
sut b0s!iy conferred by the Fourteenth
Amendment, and so long IS the Demo-
crats at the South resist that Amend
.alelt sliI deny It's validity, Il Isl mani
festiy inconsistent for them to ask for
removal at dis4ua!iGcStions undsr It's
provisions. Until these amsndiOsrts ts
are acknowledged and respected as

ssntiinxnG OF ths country viii be sverse

titude OF the late rebels changes in this
respect, he believes thai a sweeping

a Maxim of Washington

Labor TO keep alive in your breast
that little spark of celestial fire, con.
SCIENCE" was one of a series of maxinis
which Washington framed or copied fol
his own use when boy. His rigid adj
herence TO principe, his steadfast dis
charge of duty, his utter abandonment
of self, his unreserved devotion TO what
ever Interests were committed to his
care. attest the vigilance with which he
obeyed that maxim. He kept alive that
spark. He made it shine before men,
He kindled it into fllme which iIIu-
mined his Whole life. No occasion WAS
so momentous, no circumstances 80
minute, as to absolve him from fo"ow-
ing its guiding ray. The margina ex-
planation in his account book, in rcs ard
to the expenses of his wife's annual isit
to the camp during the revolutio ary
war, with his passing allusion to he
"self-denial" which the exi:eneie of
his country had cost lin, furnishes q
charming illustration of his habitual
exartness. The fact that every barrel
of-fnur which bore the brand Of George
Washington, Mount Vernon" was ex-
enp'ed from the otherwise uniform ill.,
si'ection III the West India ports-tha;
name being regarded as an ample guar
anty of the quality and quantity OF any
article 10 which it was aifixed-s supplies
a not less striking proof that his exact
ness was everywhere understood.
