The Daily Transcript, "NEVADA CITy, CALIFORNIA. ! Sia : TWESDAY, MARCH 16, 1869. Wo GRANT WILL Avrowr.Thus ¢¢ some so-called “genteel” employment or fur inthe selection of offices. General ‘Grant has manifested an earnest desire ~ 40 secure such as will faithfully and honestly execute the laws, and in his . , ~ judgment he has § shown that he not only possesses a thorough knowledge of tent corps of Federal officers for each ~ qwill amiile at any attempted. dictation ' ‘will most “ia tang sustain the new President, and his Administration ~ ‘nounced him incapable of intelligently _ Stuffing and moun altering the shape “the qualifications ‘of those who have held positions under the national gov_ “ernment, buf that he is also familiar to ‘some extent with State politics, and that by the aid and advice of those who are by their positions as Representa— tives entitled to advise, he will succeed in providing a more honest and compeState. Harper’s Weekly, speaking of this matter, says: “That the new President will wear no man’s cullar we most gladly and wholly believe. That he from those who call themselves the “leaders” of the party we have nodoubt whatever. That some other credential for office than mere party service will i by him we most sincerely hope. “Party relations will not, of course, be disregarded by him; for he ds pre-eminently a man of sagacity, and he knows that in our political situation the results at which he aims can be ‘achieved only with party support. But that regard to party alone cai secure “those results “he is doubtless wholesomely skeptical. Capacity, knowledge integrity, experience, prudence, sagac~“ily, are quité as essential in all the offi. ‘cos of Administration as “claims” founded upon “doing al] the dirty work of __ the party.” _Cliquesand sings and fac~ ‘tions in the Republican party, asin all other parties under the same circum. stances, will doubtless be disappointed and disgusted by the conduct and the appointments of the new Administrafion. But there is not the slightest m todoubt that the great mass of the party, its intelligence and character, . will unite and strengthen it.” Al-though party managers and the rings which have existed heretofore will probably be disappointed, there will be rio ground for hope to the Democracy, and all the predictions of Grant will fail so far as they have prophesied a division in the party or his desertion of ‘its principles. They predicted during the war that as a General he was a failure, and as a Presidential candidate they proexpressing his opinions. Both these statements have already been proved _ false, and their hopes that Democratic ‘ doufort will result from Grant’s admin. istration has already vanished, Joun M. BINCKLEY.—“Notes” of the Alta says of the notorious Binckley,;— “His-life-and adventures would be a most diverting history if they were truthfully edited, for lie has been through more vicissitudes and ups and downs, probably, than any man living. A soldier of fortune, a genuine Bohemian, he has been by turns a type setter, reporter, war correspondent, claim agent, lobbyist, lawyer, pension agent, Internal Revenue spy, Assistant Attorney General, Assistant Solicitor of the Treasury, and was at one time Acting Attorney" “General of the United States. Gifted with considerable natural abilities, to which is added an iron clad audacity, which is unparalleled, Binckley deserves credit for having . fought his way from the depths of pov— erty and obscurity to the bad eminence ~0f the boldest charlatan ‘in. the United States.” A DoBUQuvE miilliner has achieved a real triumph. She has engaged the services of a taxidermist, who prepares the skin of # prairie chicken as if for then by tle the fowl becomes a hat for a young lady, and no trimming is hecessary. a It is stated that a Parisian glass tiianufacturer has-produced glass threads,so . flexible and tenacious that red hare } thachines, . the case when the Clerk is fortunate ) No-father,no mother,no relatives should } The Philadelphia Ledger justly remarks that the present generation of young meni seems to have, a strong aversion to every kind of trade, business, calling or odcupation that requites manual labor, rand an equal strong” tendency toward profession. The result is-seen in-a—su_perabundance of elegant penman, bookmenpers, — berks er kind who sb-theie roe in pr ca nk of what is not to be had; and—a-terrible overstock of lawyers without practice and doctors without patients. _ The_passion on the partof the boys and young men to be-clerks, office attendants, messengers, anything, so that it is not work of the kind that will make them mechanics or tradesmen, is a deplorable sight to those who have full opportunities to see the distressing effects of it in the struggle for such employments by those unfortunates who . haye put it out of their power to do anything else by neglecting to learn some permanent trade. or. business.in -which trained skill can always be turned to account. The applications for clerk. ships and similar positions in large es tablishments are numerous beyond aaything that would be thought Bo those who havé no chance to witn Parents and relatives, as well as. the boys and young men themselves, seem to be afflicted with the same infatuation, To all such we say, that the most unwise advice you can give to your boy is _to encourage him to be a clerk or a bookkeeper. At the best, it is not a well paid occupation. . Very frequently it is among the very poorest. This is enough to be employed ; but if he should happen to be out of place, then comes the weary search, the fearful struggle with the thousands of others looking for places, the never-ending disappointments, the hope deferred that makes the heart sick, the strife with poverty, the humiliations that take all the man. hood out of the’ peor souls;"the privations and sufferings of those who depend upon his earnings, and who have no resource when he is earning nothing. wish to see their boys and kindred . wasting their young lives in striving after the genteel positions that “bring such trials and privations upon them-in after life. How do-these deplorably false notions as to choice of occupation get into the heads of boys? Why do they or their parents consider it more “genteel” or desirable to run errands, sweep out offices, make fires, copy letters, éte. than to make hats or shoes,or lay bricks, or wield the saw or jackplane,or handle the machiniat’s file, or the blacksmith’s hammer? We have heard that some of them get these notions at school. If this be true, it is a sad perversion of the means of education provided for our youth, which are intended to make them useful, as well as intelligeut members of society, and not usel drags and drones. Should it be so, that the present generation of boys get it into their heads that, because they have more school learning and book accomplishment than their fathers had, they must therefore look down upon the trades that require skill and handicraft, and whose productions make up the vast mass of the wealth of every country, then it is time for the centrollers and ‘the directors to have the interior walls of our school houses covered with max. ims and mottoes warning them against “he fatal error, oa 8 DEATH oF GuTHRIE.—The death of James Guthrie, late United States Senae tor from Kentucky is announced.

District Attorney. ° “THE military organization of Prussia is said to bé so complete that a single telegram from Berlin will call out a million of soldiers. The regular troops consist of 325 battalions of.infantry, 268 squadrons of cavalry, 11 regiments neers, embracing 410,000 combatants.— To these should be added 35,000 of the Saxony, Brunswick, Mecklenburg, Strebattalion of engineers. Then there are also the soldiers of Baden, Bavaria, and Wurtemburg, who are under the orders of the Chief of the Confederation by military treaties, In addition, Prussia has 148,000 rqperve troops, and 200,000 in forte and garrisons. Ail this list is independent of the officers, the workmen, teamsters, and special bodies of different kinds. Reena patch to the Union, of yesterday says “The impression was obtained that there are a great many wild cat companies rations.’ We should think so; hen companies are incorporated for $1,500,000,-that have only a twenty foot shaft
sunk, as exempt from silver indications as an iceberg; when companies representing $100,000,000 of capital have been organized in a district. that does not employ 150 men, it does smell of wild cat, : ‘ TROUBLE.—The Directors of the €alifornia Pacific Railroad, says the Reporter, are having some trouble with parties near Davisville, over whose land the survey of the road passes. Suit has been brought against D.C. Haskin, the Superintendent, and Jas. M. Lemon, contractor, by R, 8. Cary, for non-comcompliance with the law in entering his premises. Lemon and some of his hands have been arrested by the Sheriff of Yolo county. MUSICAL Propicy.—Migs Kellogg has been haunted from town-to town out West by a stage-struck young lady who wanta to-be a prima donna. In Chicago Miss-Kellogg took pity on the girl, permitted her to show off her voice, and discovered a musical prodigy. The successful debutante is a Miss Abbott, and. her patron has promised to sce her through. LESLIE'S MAGAZING FoR MARcH.— March; has-been received by Géorge RCrawfork.
