Wo GRANT WILL Avrowr.Thus ¢¢ some so-called “genteel” employment or
fur inthe selection of offices. General
‘Grant has manifested an earnest desire

honestly execute the laws, and in his . ,

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

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.”

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 .

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,

“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

To these should be added 35,000 of the

also the soldiers of Baden, Bavaria, and
