AT the Cabinet meeting, held on' Friday ono week ago, the subject of the various official pwitigns, at home di andabroad,wasscassedatlength,for the purpose of deciding upon a gen end course of action in relation to pointments to office. The question . of removals was particularly eonsid-; ered, and the united opinions of the President and his constitutional ad visers was, .tbat no ;removals of Re • publican office- holders should be made, except for cause, until the ex-i l plration of their commissions. This. determination of the Executive and . his Cabinet is an important one, and wiU affect a large number of patriotic individuals—one chum' of whom de 'sire to retain snug, warm nests, and another that ate making . vigorous ef forts to get into them themselves.

Messrs. Logan, Washburn° (Wis.) and Butler were the principal sixxikerti in opposition to the amendment. It was charged that this wasa struggle for power he tween the Executive and the Senate. The bill had been passed for a special purpose-to curb a bad President= and the Senate now wished to hold In Its hands the power thus obtained. This ametahnent giveaup none of the power. The law has' answered its purpose. Let it be repealed.

S lea . :, AA Electric Clock Ibis been successfully put in motion, keeping cracurnte time with but three wheels and . a pendulum. Almost every body knows thd simple law op which clock movements depends— that a pendulum of a given length always occupies the hazne time in swinging.. ' If there were no friction at the point of suspension, and no air to retard its motion, the pendulum would. swing forever. As it Is, the friction and the. resistance of the air are very -slight in any. one stroke, and it is only necessary to• Supply at each stroke the iinperceptible amount of force thus lost to keep it swinging ' steadily. This has been accomplished by Mr. S. A. Kennedy, formerly an eleetrician of the Coast Survey, by . electrditk. .A very weak und small battery connects with two coils of Wire; Tocltween - which the pendulum "ball swings; with a small magnetic steel bar in it, so that, at end of each stroke, the end of the bar is just in the centre of the coil. By a simple pin at the top of the pendulum, the connection with either coil is cam-' pieta!, Just at the moment when the bar reaches that point; it Is repelled by the charge in the coil, and the ad ditional force thus given to its return is 'sufficient to drive it to an equal height on the other side. Thus the motion of the pendulum continues so long as the battery retains any power; A little button nt the top regulates tfie length of the 'pendulum, and, therefore, the running of the clock,— Tice upper end of the pendulum Itself gives motion to the wheels, only three in ,rm, necessary to communi cate this motion to the hands. Of course, the accuracy of the , clock de pends upon the perfection of this part of the mechanism, but we are assured thattherre now in use keep excellent time. The clock needs no winding; and a little copperas supplied to the battbry once in six ' months, and a small zinc plate renewed once In three years, will keep it running for an in definite time. 1 THE Island of Cubt is attracting a vast amount of attention at tho pres ent tittle. The rebellion or revolu tion, whichever the reader nay be disised to th at ti me At that time the revolutionists numbered only 127 , men, but they, "like the men of The - 1;11[10AM," made up their minds to "conquer or die," and to-day 147 towns; cities and vil lages of Cuba are . now in the poses sion of themselves and followers. Accessions to their ranks from the : native population have been rapid, while not a few of those who were engaged In our own: late civil war have gone thither to lend the revo lutionists a helping hand. The"moth er country"-,—Spainhas been for warding troops as rapidly us possible to quell the uprising, but the efforts in that direction, have thuS far, been abortive. Public syMpathy in this country is clearly in favor of the strug gling Cubans, and this fact in itself, induces us to belieVe that Cuba will soon be free4the grasp of Spain bro ken—and the "Queeen of the Antil les" become a seperate and distinct power among the nations of the world. As indicative of tke popular senti ment of the United States, we biro below the resolptiens 4 adopted in New York on last Friday night, at a Mem meeting presided over by May or Hall, and addressed by Rev. Hen ry Ward Beecher. They are its fol lows : Re*Olred, That the: present strug glee( the Cubans - for independance and self . gozitierninent; belongs in_the Same category with the American Reirolutiton of 1776., it should excite the sympathy of all !Rends of popu lar progress, and deserves every kind of assistance that other nations may be able to render. Resoleed, That the Cuban cause Is just turd that the wrongs against which the Cubans have revolted are such av td arouse the indignation of mankind, including us they do taxa tion without representation the fored of the institution of Slavery; the exclusion of all natives of the Island from public service, the denial of the right to bear arms, and of all the sacred privileges of citizen ship and nationality.: Rao( ced, That in prcichilming the abolition of Slavery; the, patriots of Cutli have given conclusive evidence ,that they share the most substantial 'deli; of modern democracy, and that their political principles are in unison With those which Inspire and govern the profoundest thinkers and statesmen of the age.' Resulted, That while frog_ men of all countries must view with inter est the uprising of Cuba, we, as Citizens of the Republic' of North America and hair neighbors of thelsland, reiwgniie a special ob ligation toward the patriots who are toiling and lighting for its enmncl pation front European tyranny. Rejoiced, That in our judgment it is the ditty of our lloverninent to recognize the belligerent rights of the Cubans at the earliest practicable moment, and thus to Show the World Gat this ration is always on the side of those who contend against des-, potisna and Oppressiont_and that we earnestly entrisit the Executive at Washington 'that there may be no unnemsiary delayin decisively • deal ing wJth this gnat subject. • Tut; New York Sim .remarks "Some benevolent but.weak-minded people are pressing COngreal to enact that fentale eniployes•Uf the boveru nienttiliall paid.the' mine' wages at ispEdd to males for the same kind *Work: At flk sight this seems a retpietit, but it must ix; !remembered, that ;Congress, like !all the other agents of the nation, is ;under a moral obligation to get the nation's work done at the lowest mid* rite of compensation ; - end if *Orate of women'a lab* is lem than _Mann is for men's, all 'bid beyond it boo much given away for nothing.

Rewired, That as this institution is under the government and control of the industrial cliisses, 'of whom agriculturists constitute a majority,. they have no ground to complain of inattention to their interests by our governments; State and National; nor can they—responsible as they are for the results of supineness and leth cugv—he heard with favor in min plaints to the public of failures, or of the absence of beneficial results com mensurate with the endowment.

Simmidirv, in style is both beauty and power. The late Fitz Green Rai - leekrelates' an incident of a letter which mine into his, hands written by a Scotch Servantgirl to her lover. lie WM charmed with the elegm it and beautiful style. The letter was ex hibited to,some of his literary friends and they agreed that it was a perfect modei of letter writing. Somewhat puzzled i ihe poet determined to search out the poor Scotch girl, and leain how one In such humble circumstan ce:ollW acquired a style AO beautiful that cultivated pprsoas could not but adinire it. The girl's explanation was very simple. She said : "I came to this country four years ago. Then I did.not know how to read or write. But since then I have learned' how to read and write, but I have not learn •ed how to spell; so, always when I set down to write a l6tter ' .1 choose those Words, which are so short and simple that lam sure I know how to spell them." Ax.exchange tells a curious-story which indicates how little acquaint ance 'tinny people have. nowadays with gold. A gentleman was riding in achy railrotul cttrone evening, and paid his fare with a five cent piece and a penny — as lie supposed.. had been accustomed to carry in his pocket a three-dollar gold piece as luck money.

When Grant was nominated, and front Chit time until his election, Gemocrats were silly enough to im agine that when once 'elected he would be a sort of second edition of Johnson. We were told, "he is:not a Radical, and never was; he hates Radicals ; he is ojiposed to nistro suf frage; he will smash up the party within three mender.", Grant has I:cen in power over two weeks. Ile has uttered! in his inaugural as un disguised Radithlism as ever fell from the lips of Sumner or Stevens; he has recommended negro suffrage, land he has won a flattering letter from Wendell Philips. Then he has chosen for his Cabinet sueh Radicals as Boutwell and Roar, of Massachu setts, Cresswell, of Maryland, Wash- Larne and Rawlins, of ;Illinois. If the Derhoerats (inn find any fun in all these doings, they are welcome. Also, both before and after election, set of DemoeratS led by Blair, rep resented Grant to be a dangerous, supremely -ainbitiou:;man who would grasp -all ; power and make hituself dietator,, and these gloated over the great fight for the mastery which would take place as soon as the President began to use his pow er. At the very shut, as It happen ed, he made an -appointment which was disapproved and followed it with a recommendation ;which Con gress would not quive acted upon. Democrats shouted with delight; "the war hits, begun," they said.. Buy Grant talked over. the matter with Republican leaders, realized that the law ought not to:be repealed, with drew his recommendation..tuul nom inated for the Treasury Mr. Bout well—the man of all others, perhaps, who would have been proposed ny the majority ,of earnest :and honest Radicals. Blair's dictator theory doesn't seem to work to any extent. The Wain tact islinit Gen. Grant is thoroughly Ratlinil in principle, and has too much sense and too much pa triotism ever to follow in the foot steps ofSohnson. !He is not blind to the fact that the men who conducted the government through all the trials of the war, and through the wonder jut: political revolution of. the titist eight : years, Ixissess because they have eminently deserved the etintldefice ;and:regard of the people. licean never forget ihat 4he great party, which they have built up and sus tained in spite of the treachery of a President and!a Chbinet containing some of its earliest and ablest leaders , saved the nation front rebellion, and ittubodles the, patriotism, the I:rain,. and the conscience of the people. It has faults; these it will be his duty to try to correct. It has in Its ranks unworthy men; tlitse it is his duty to deny his eutdideiree and support.
