Le National. '
The elegant landscapist Corot is preparing
for the salon of the coming Spring a picture
which will take its place among his most re
markable works.
The history of thiß landscape is curiouß
enough to be narrated; be has found his point
of view on hiß own property, where he has
lived for more than fifty years, and which
descended to him from his father. [We sup
pose the published address of the painter. No.
r,B rue Paradis-Poissonifire, Paris, is referred
to.] But why has he waited fifty years to
find a Paradise, in his own garden? Well, a
lucky chance created it for him. The gar
dener, in improving the little property—fell
ing certain trees here, suppressing a wall
there, and suddenly developing a vista, acci-,
dentally created’for the painter his charming
model. Corot Bet himself to copy it with
juvenile’energy, notwithstanding his seventy
winters. He has placed in the scene a female
reading -figure of exquisite attitude and ex
pression.—The Figaro owes these details to
an artistic visitor who has emerged from the
etndioenchanted with what he has seen.
Theatrical Decoration. There is no
reason why a theatrical stage, set for a repre
sentation, should not be a work of high art.
Especially in this day of morbid development
of landscape painting, the scenes should be
expressions of the most advanced pay sage
of the time. This principle is advancing
prominently in Paris. When the stage is set
with d Breton village for the play of Le Lion
Amoureux,Vaa picture out of which the beau
tiful Brqhan advances alone to the foreground,
in her grief and weariness, is a group of ar
chitectural shapeß, and lights, and shades
which Ganaletti could never have exceeded-
The last spectacle at the Gaiete, Theodoras,
is the most magnificent assemblage of pic-
tures yet produced; yet the scenes, even at
the Porte BL-Martin,for a vulgar melodrama
of Jack Sheppard, include a spectacle of the
burning of London Bridge which is admi-
rably pictorial and harmonious. London, as
may be seen from the annexed extract from
Mia.Athenaeum, is intending to follow suit
after Paris. When will America catch uptn
the race? We consider Bierstndt perfectly
competent to achieve scenic landscapes for
some grand Shakespearian revival.
“More than passing notice is due to the
Etfii!adif“G£iety ¥ifeatre''fb~ Introduce art of
the better sort in the decorations of that
house. Aa we stated some weeks since, Mr.
Marks has executed the frieze of dancing and
other figures which now surmounts the
proscenium and forms, although at great
height from the stage, the most attractive as
well as the most important decorations of the
interior. The carrying out of such an exten
sive work as this upon those architectonic
principles which are alone apt to the
situation was the real difficulty to be en-
countered by the artist, who, had he been (
less loyal,might have dispensed with law,and j f
produced a picture of that kin<} which is ! ,
ordinary in such places, and o artistic eyes ,
as worthless as it is ordinary.- j
“Truth of representation within the scope
of nature not being obtainable even approxi- |
mately to the ordinary limit of pictorial craft,
the resource of the true artist is in the em
ployment of so much of convention as archi
tectonic laws wisely prescribe in such cir
cumstances as those in question. Natural
laws ot representation must, according to j
these decorative ones, be left aside to a certain
extent, and the great, ever-consistent, and in
violable logic of Nature dispensed with, in
order that the thing desired might at least be j
consistent with and truthful to itself. If I
complete within itself, and to itself loyal, the :
result would not be untrue; and the deeper, j
more thoughtful purposes of design, as well
answered as by any other mode. Thoughtful
art does not depend upon any particular mode
of representing Nature; hence it is that if
Ibcbght, pathos, or beauty are present in de- j
sign the art so employed mußt be good and
high. Without them, design is, however
pretty or pleasing to the eye, merely deco
rative, if not mean and low. The severest
and earliest application of these architectonic
principles is, of course, to be found where
every other quality of the art is discoverable
at its best, to wit, in the Paaathenalc frieze
by Phidias, or Alcamenes, which is now in
the Elgin Room, British Museum.
“The student will see that, of course, witli
a certain freedom, allowable in painting if
not in sculpture, Mr. Marks has, in the frieze
in question, illustrated the principles of the
Hellenic sculptore. There is in his work
but little relief attained or aimed at by means
oflight and shadow; what modelling appears
is purely and strictly -localized and proper to
the l'especiive figures; hence what are called
accidental shadows, such as are cast by one
objept on another, although very important
elemenls in an ordinary painting, are few and
unimportant. In conformity with the archi
tectonic law the composition of the figures
haß'beeh, ae nearly as the artist could con-
upon a single plane and this
plane js that of the canvas Itself.
“Mr. Marks has wrought out his purpose
with rare carefulness, giving good drawing,
apt expressions, graceful attitudes and plea
sant coloring to his work. The sole fault in
the composition appears to us in the dispos
ing of the dancers in a sort of circle, so that
more than one plane or line of figures was
unavoidable; it is evident that the danger of
such a disposition presented itself to the
artist, for his figures are disposed, so far as
was practicable, in a simple order and relieve
each other by darker and lighter colored
dresses, instead of by means of lights and
shadows.”

VON HELLBORN’S LIFE OF SCHU
BERT.*
Mr. Coleridge holds that it is scarcely an
exaggeration to say that, until very recently,
Schubert's reputation in England rested upon
little more than half a dozen songs. Thus
Btated, the assertion is scarcely correct. Schu
bert's claims as a writer of instrumental music
have been, indeed, until recently, unrecog
nized, except by a very few English musi
cians; but his reputation as a writer of the
highest rank in his own special line has
rested upon much more than “half a dozen
songs." Above seventy of his 6ongs have
been now published with English as well as
with the original German words, and of these
a large number have been familiar to every
cultivated musician for a whole generation
back. Few of them have ever attained a
concert-room popularity, nor is it probable
that any such popularity will hereafter be their
lot Taken altogether, they are far too good
ever to be generally popular. Now and then
it is quite possible that some popular singer
I might confer on them a temporary celebrity
with the multitude, just as the violin playing
of Herr Joachim will throw an audience into
raptures over a fugue of Sebastian Bach; but
nevertheless, Schubert’s songs are above the
appreciation, because they are above the un
-I[he f expression of the emoti*ns r ot
an intelligent and thoughtful mind, and the
m&BB of mankind, being neither intelligent
nor thoughtful, And in Schubert only an ex
ponent of ideas to which they are personally
strangers. Whatever may be the additional
peculiarities of Schubert’s songs, in no other
i quality are they more strikingly unlike the
! mob of popular music than in this element of
intellectual depth and force, and in that origi
nality of musical style whioh is the result of
that depth and force.
This originality of style, again, stands in
the way of their winning a place for them
selves in the affections of the non-thinking
majority of men and women. The majority
of men and women cannot understand what
is original until it haß become thoroughly
familiar to them; and the worst of Schubert’s
songs—judged by the popularity test—is that
their originality is of the most perplex
ing kind. They are not only original in being
unlike the Bongs of other writers, but in being
marvellously unlike one another. In the
German editions, which contain about J5O
out of the COO and more which Schubert
wrote, there are, of course, a good many
which are more or less alike, in Subject
in treatment. But yet the actual dissimilarity
between one and another, above all in the
accompaniments, is simply amazing. One
after another you may go through them till
you are lost in astonishment at the
endless new forms which these accom
paniments assn me. And ulmoßt all of them
are as appropriate as tney are original. How
ever disoimilarjn mere outline to the melody
! assigned to the'voice,they are essentially sub
ordinate to it, submitting it and intensifying
the impression that it is designed to produce.
And herein is the rare merit of Schubart,
shared, mdeed, by all composers of the high
est rank, but standing out, perhaps, more
prominently in his case than in that of any
other master. Few things, every experi
enced musical composer well knows, are
easier than to manufacture a highly elaborate
pianoforte accompaniment to a vocal melody,
but lew things aie more difficult than to con
struct it so as to enhance rather than over
power the vocal effect. But with Schubart
the unity of his melodies and the ornate
phrases to which they are wedded is as comr
plete as it is rare and surprising.
Hence, further, another hindracoe to their
general acceptance by the average performer,
whether professional or amateur. Very few
singers can play well enough to accompany
themselves easily and effectively in the ma
jority of these songs. They demand not
only a certain amount of mere mechanical
dexterity, but a delicacy of handling and a
quick feeling for expressiveness and senti
ment, which are by .no means to be fovind in
the multitude of professional and amateur
singers. And, as it need hardly be added,
whatever assistance a singer may occasionally
gain from a skilful accompanyiat when per
forming before an audience, either public or
private, in practising a singer is ordinarily
thrown upon his or her own resources. Con
sequently, from works where it is impossible
to study tne melody apart from its accom-
I paniment, the average stager turns away in
hopeless despair. From the very first, the
difficulty of Schubert’s accompaniments pre
vented their popularity in Germany itself.
Again and again we find the music publish
ers remonstrating'with him, and begging him
to send them works not beyond the powers
of their customers. Ho would not, how
ever, pay heed to their expostulations; per
haps, even if he had tried, he would have
found that in the attempt at .achieving easi-

niSfi he would have accomplished only wasn
inees. At any rato he declined the task, and,
consequently, with all thb boundless feruli*
of his pen/ho remained a- poor man totno
lQ? BouhdlOss, indeed, was tliat fertility, W;
cludingnot merely the production o$ more
separate'songs than, we suspect,
written by any other humap being, but music
and operas with the samp breathless speed
with which he dashed off his elaborate songs.
It almost takes one’s breath away to look
through the catalogue of his compositions
given at the end oi Yon Hellborn’s Life; and
the more so, when one reflects that all this
was the work of the slightly educated sonot
a humble Viennese schoolmaster, who dieit
before he was thirly-twO years old. Here are
part songs, hymns, cantatas,oratorio, numer
ous pianoforte works, some of them on the
largest scale, above twenty quartetts, and
other chamber compositions, more than a
dozen operas and operettas, four masses and
sundry other pieces of church tnUsir,
and—most astonishing of all—nine
symphonies, all but one of them
complete. Who can wonder that Schubert
died at one-and-thirty of some sort of brain
disease, and that hiß head, long before the
fatal day came, showed signs of the awful
work it was called upon to do? Perhaps of
no other master can it be. so correctly said
that he owed scarcely anything to study,and
wrote by a process which, to the vulgar,
seems a species of inspiration. His musical
education was completed in a kind of govern
ment college in Vienna, known as the “Kon
vict,” which Mr. Coleridge, oddly enough,
converts into “Convict, ” But it was super
ficial in its nature, and was rapidly mastered
by the precocious boy of eleven years old,
who had already tried his hand at songs,
quartettß and orchestral pieceß. Henceforth
he was a living embodiment of the old Greek
fable. As Minerva came forth from the head
of Jupiter, all armed from head to foot,so did
these innumerable songs,sonatas and sympho
nies rush out of that wonderful brain, in all
their elaborate completeness, and were
put upon paper with a Bpeed and an absence
of blunders and corrections which the. mere
musical copyist might have envied. Von
Hellborn relates the following sample of the
circumstances in which Schubert frequently
wrote: One Sunday afternoon he was return
ing from a country walk with a party of
friends, and, strolling into a public garden,
he saw his friend Tieze sitting at a table.
The whole party immediately determined
upon a halt and a talk,and (we suppose) upon
a drink. Tieze bad a book lying before him,
and Schubert sopn began to turn over the
leaves. Suddenly he stopped, and, pointing
to a poem, exclaimed, “Such a delicious
melody has just come into my head, if I had
but a sheet of music paper with me!” One
of bis companions drew a few music lines on
the back of a bill of fare; and there, in the
midst of an Austrian Sunday hubbub, with
fiddlers, skittle players, -and waiters all
around him, Schubert wrote his charming
“Serenade-”
In the outward man of Schubert there was
nothing to suggest the inward presence of his
wonderful gifts. Doubtless his eyes shone,
at least when he was excited, with a light
borrowed from the hidden fires. But in all
other respects never was geniuß concealed
within a less attractive frame. He was short
and teoad shouldered, with fat, stumpy
fingers/ features suggesting those of a negro,
and a complexion which .one of his most
ardent admirers describes as tallowy. He
had a quick sense of humor, after the German
sort, but his laugh was a hoarse, suppressed
chuckle. He thought it funny to parody hiß
own “Erl Bang” by singing it through the
teeth of a comb, and was fond of practical
iokes He cared little for musical society, or
°— pumn; nf
own works; but he loved the company of a
few jovial friends, and at times he loved the
wine bottle rather too dearly. He was a
modest man, but very obstinate. He hated
drudgery, and never obtained any permanent
appointment, for which, indeed, he was
wholly unsuited. On the whole, he was as
little fitted for making a figure in the fashion
able or money-paying worlds as can well be
conceived, aDd he died as hs had lived, a
poor man, maintaining a hard struggle for
the humble livelihood with which be was
content. He was never'married, but he was
a good son and an affectionate brother.
Von Hellborn’s Memoir makes as much as
could be expected out of his uneventful, and,
on the whole, melancholy career, and it is
agreeably translated by Mr. Coleridge; though
why the biographer Bhould have chosen t>
put so large a portion of his story into foot
notes is more than we can understand. To
his natural passion for telling everything that
can possibly be told about everybody con
nected with everything, must be put down
the minute accounts of the various nobodies
who were Schubert’s schoolfellows or his
friends in after life. Possibly, in the inter
ests of universal humanity, we should be
thankful for. the record. But for the author’s
lengthy details of the extremely stupid libretti
of Schubert’s operas, and for the lists of the
Andantes, Adagios, Allegroß, Ac., to which
Schubert set them, there is lesß excuse.
Nevertheless, the memoir iB a good and wel
come addition to the increasing store of
recently translated biographies. We will
hope that it will quicken a more general in
terest in the works of one of the mast extra
ordinary men of genius whom the world of
art has ever known. —Pall Mall Gazette.
den. Grant Forty learn Ago.
It is, I think, forty years this winter since I
heard Gen. Grant make his first speech. Bo
far as I know,he has not made one since. I,t
would do me-ufitold good to hear him make
his second one the 4th of March next. It
was the occasion of a village exhibition in
which many of the boys of the town were
engaged. Patterson, the tailor, was the leader
of the whole gang. I sat down on the side
of the stage to wait the coming of Grant. It
was my thunder he had stolen. Patterson
gave the speech to me three weekß before; I
was so proud of it; thought there was not an
other speech like that {p all the world for a
boy to speak. But now it was to be taken
from me. Borne unseen power fiad been at
work. He took me to one side in the old
court-house and said, “Ulysses, you know,
is the smallest boy of you two; it will suit
him best; that he would Belect another more
suited to my age.” I was timid, aod not able
to answer his words aud gave in. Well, there
I sat when Grant came upon the stago, and
begun:
•‘You’d scarce expect ono of my age
To speak Kl'public on the stage,
And If 1 chance to fall below
Demosthenes or Cicero,
Don’t view me with a critic's eye, -
But pass my imperfections by.
Large streams from little fountains flow;
Tall oaks from little ncornß grow,
And many a man, ho bigger lhan me,
Began by learning his A B C.”
1 have his form plainly before me now,j as
he raised bis hand, and stretcued himselfiup
to his utmost height at the line—
"'Tall oaks from little acorns grow."
Patterson had drilled ub well on action. Be
was all action. This was the ne plus with
the General. However high he may have"
shot up since, he could get no higher that
night. And of all that august multitude of
gazing and delighted villagers, none would
have ventured to augur that he ever would
have grown bo tall. Well, it makes one feel
good, poor as one may be, that one had been

one feel better still, that he had wrought his

won for himself the admiration of the world;
that he had c.onquored by deeds and silence;
that what eloquence and wealth could not

highest ermine her power could bestow. No
man perhaps in the history of the country has

does his. Every line, and every paragraph
given to the press, in which his name stands
connected, is seized and read by all with
eagerness. Even hia conversations are stolen
away and telegraphed to the ends of the
earth. All this is only prophetic of the grand

two (2) powerful companies; the Union Pacific Railroad,
beginning at Omaha, building west. and the Central
Pacific Railroad, beginning at Sacramento, and building
east, until tho two roads shall meet. About two hundr d
miles remain to be built Tho greater part of tho Interval
Is now graded, nnd it is reasonably expected that the
through connection between Ban Francisco and New York
will be completed by June L
'As the amount of Government aid given to each is de
pendent upon tho length of road each shall build, both
companies are prompted to groat efforts to secure tho
construction and control of what, when completed, will
he one and the only grand Railroad Line connecting the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts*
One Hundred and Twenty Million Dollars ($130,000,000)
In money havo already been expended by tho two power*
fnl companies engaged In this great enterprise, and they
will speedily complete the portion yet to bo built
The Government aid to the Union Pacific Railroad and
the Central Pacific Railroad may be briefly summed up
ae follows
First—The right of way and all necessary timber and
atone from public domain'
Second- It m&kcß a donation ol 12.600 acres of land to
the mile, whiiih. when the road Is completed, will amount
to twenty-three million (23,000,000) acres.
Third—lt loans tho companies fifty million dollars
:S50,000,000), for which It takes a second lien.
The Government has already loaned tho Union Pacific
Railroad twenty-four million six bundrtd and ninety
eight thousand dollars (824.698,000). and to the Central
Pacific Railroad seventeen mltlion nine hundred and
sUty-fonr thousand dollars 017,904.000), amounting In all
to forty.two million ill hundred and alxty-two thousand
dollars (812,662,000).
The Companies are permitted to Issue their own First
M ortgago Bonds to tho same amount as tboy receive Worn
tho United Ststea and no more. The companies tf|«vo
sold to permanent investors upwards of (840.000,000) forty
million dollars of their First Mortgage Bonds. Tho com
panies have already paid in (including net earnlngß not
divided, grants from Btato of California, and Sacramento
city and Ban Francisco), upwards of ($26,000,000) twenty
five million dollars offcapttat stock.
WHAT IB THERE YET TO BE DONE ?
In considering this question itmust be remembered that
all tho remaining iron to finish the road is contracted ter.
and tho largest portion paid for and now delivered on tho
lino ol the Union Pacific Railroad and the Central Pacific
Railroad, and that the grading is almost finished.

Tbe I.ast Outrage Upon Kentoeky
fajiiage o( tbe Constitutional Amend
ment try tbe House.
Post Ofkib. Cohpkderit X Boons (Wich Is In
the Stait nv Kentucky), Feb. 7,1809.—The die is
mostly cast—gloom has settled like a dark pall
onto Kentucky. Tho last vestige uv consti
looahuel, liberty is swept away, leavln us nothin
but the name thereof, wich is holler mockery.
Ef tbe senitgoes on and concurs with tho house
—wich it will do—and the reklslt number of stalls
ratify the ackshenof them accnsld bodies—wich
they will do—why then all is over. Niggers will
vote in Kentucky the same ez white men, and
the atar uv liberty la eot forever! They may go
80 far, ez they will be in a majority,ez todisfran
chise tho brave men who served in the confodrit
army.
Ez might her been expectid, the Intelligence
affectid the Corners profoundly. We wuz all a
eettin in Bascom’a ez happy as wecood be. A now
barrel bed been tapped. Dekin Pogram hedfmo
ney, and I wuz not altogether unprovided, ez a
letter hed been dropped into tbe post-office that
moniln wich contained a remittance nvelx dollars
to a lottery concern in Noo York. Ez I beleeve
lotteries to be swindles and demoralhsin In their
nacher, I opened the missive and confiscated the
contents. I will never bo the means nv leading
young men to rooln thro the agency ot lotteries—
never.
It wuz a pleasant seene. The fire wuz burning
britcly; wich rtfiectin on our respective noses,
gave the room a more than usual britenisj Bas
com wuz behind the bar, his elbows leanlu onto
it, wallln for tbe orders wich he knew wood be
mode; Copt. MePeiter wuz a smokin bis piDe
peacefly, a walehln tbe clouds that ariz, formln
a sort of halo about his bed; while Deekin
Pogram and myself wuz Just in the act uv takln
snthin hot wieh had been fixed for us. At
this moment Pennibacker’s boy rode up oo Bas
com’s mole and bove a paper at me wicb con
tained tbe fatal Intelligence. I read it aloud.
There wuz no more Innocent mirth that nlto.
Deekin Pogram’s hand relaxed Us holt onto the
glass and it fell to tbe floor, the precldna floold
was tin itself thro the cracks, and the old 'saint
fell from his chair in a swoon. I had more pre
sence uv mind—l drank mine with one convul
sive gulp and then dropped tbe empty glass. The
effect, bo far ei manifestin grief wuz concerned,
wuz the same as tho 1 bad dropped it liker and
all, and It wnz better for me. The glass wuz
Baa corn’s—the seneasbun in my bowlea predooct
by the iikker wag mine. That even constooshnel
amendments can't take away from me;
It didn't take long to figger how this outrage,
ef it Is consnmmatld, will affect the Corners.
Thor is in this peecefnl township sixty-three
loyal white voters, nv wieh number thirty-nine
vindicated their manhood In the Confedrlt servls,
tho .others being too old, ceptin Pollock, wich Is
from Illlnoy. and uv Abllshen proclivities. Gar
rettstown is In this township, and couDtln them
in ther is two hundred and forty-four adult nig
gers, and ther wood hev beau a hundred more hed
niggers all bin bom bullet and rope proof. Bo
long ez these niggers wuz In their normal
condiahn uv servitood they wuz indlspensiblo—
senco they wuz crooelly wrested from us we hev
mode em almost ez yooßeful to us by hevin the
law-Into our own hands. They hev ez a rool ac*
cumulated snthin, for they labor. We uv coarse
held'theroffises. lssaker Gavltt Is assessor, and
Deekin Pogrom treasurer, and tho niggers hev
bin made to pay all the taxes that hev bln paid.
They coodent help theirselves, for tho law hez
terrors when weelded by strong and willin hands,
and tho hands nv our Offlshels are both strong and
willin.
But for these niggers the township government
wood be a mere nothin. lssaker don’t dare to
assess Bascom for fear he’d stop supplies onto
him, nor wood Bacom hev any uV the white citi
zens taxed lor whatever they ehood pay in taxes
that went either into the county or state treasury
wuz so much lost to him. He' wuz anxious to
have the nigger sweat, for uv the money collected
uv them he got a large per cent, either through
the collectoror treasurer, wich wuz clear gain, ez
they don’t patronize him anyhow.
In various other ways wo had em. Penni
backcr is justice uv tbe peace and hez bln for
years,; and be held tbe scales firmly. The nig
gers wood oecaßlonally labor in plantlu time or
m .'harvest for tho white cltizons who owned
land, and filled with the idea that they wuz frep
citizens, they wood in tbe most Insolent manner
demand pay for their services. Uv cdurso they
wood be refoozed, whereupon they would bring
'*oot before Pennibacker. The result uv their
vencher it Is unnecessary for me to stuto.
“What biznls hoz a nigger in this ver court ? ’
wood tho indignant embodiment nv the majesty
uv tho law thunder forth with a face cz black ez
a clone. And dlemissin the soot ho wood
promptly ishoo an execoosbcn agin em for

in innn«.«u ™ .n aB f J uv aasault and battery and
m inquests on tho ded bodies uv nlggors it was
neesary to hev Pennibacker justis. Niggers wieh

But now how will It be with us? They will vote
and they will hev a majority. Pollock will be.
made Jnstis uv the peace, Joe Bigler asAjsor.aud

gers will soo us and get judgments, and the nig
ger constable will serve execooshens onto ns.
Why, Deekin Pogrom owes enuff-to niggers to
swamp every aker he holds, and Bascom wood bo
sweat severely. And when we pnnch ono nv
their heads for insolence to ns, then to be ar
rested by a nigger, and taken aforo a jußtis
elcctid by niggers, and be fined or perchance im
prisoned! It’s too much. When this happens
will (lie Comers, I ask, be a place for gentlemen
uv prid and culcbcr? Nay. And to this it must
come.
I saw one weak spot in tho amendment, viz: It
provides that no slate shcl disfranchise anybody
becoz of race or color, but don’t say that people
CBn’t be disfranchised for other .causes and I
eagerly scczed hold nv that cz a ship wreck t mar
iner does to a plank.
“Wat good wil) that do us?’’groaned the
deekin.
“Why wo bin disfranchise them on the skore
of ignorance! ” remarkt L “The niggers can t all
read.”
“No nlore kan I," replied lssaker Gavitt
mournfully; “I’d be cut out with pm."
And upon glvin the matter matoor reflection I
saw thar wuz no bottom to that hope. By makln
readin a test the- superior- elaes at the Corners
wood bo more hurt than the inferior class.
Thank Heaven ten states kin block this game
and save us this torment Oh that they may do
It! O,‘that this last bitter draft may bo spared
us. May tbe Dimocrlsy nv tbe North put forth
their strength and save us this last degradation.

Notification of deneral Grant,
Washibotox, Feb. 13.—This morning, at half-
past 10 o’clock. Senator Morton and Representa
tives Frayn, of New York, and Wilson, of lowa,
made their appearance at the Heodqaarters of the
Army for the purpose of presenting to General
Grant the certificates of his election as President
of the United States.
The Impression that the proceedings would be
altogether private,together with the fact that the
committee arrived a half hour in advance of the
time at which it was understood the ceremony
would take place, prevented the presence of a
large number of persons who would otherwise
have been attracted by the interesting proceed
ings.
Gen. Grant was in his office at the time of the
arrival of the Committee, busily engaged in the
performance of his official duties. They were
soon invited into his presence, and with but very
little delay Senator Morton addressed the Presi
dent elect, announcing that they were the com
mittee appointed by Congress to present him
with his commission as President of the United
States for four years, commencing on the 4th of
March next, and in a few remarks assured the
General that his election was extremely gratify
ing to his countrymen, and that the people felt
assured he would, in exercising the duties of his
distinguished office, apply the same energy, in
tegrity and patriotism that had characterized him
in former spheres of usefulness. In concluding
hie remarks he said that he would have the sup
port ol the people of the nation, even including
those who differed politically from him, in ad
ministering the affairs of the government
General Grant, receiving from Senator Morton
the certificatea of his election, announced, amid
lDtense Interest on the part of the few gentlemen
who were present, and In a firm, audible voiee,
substantially, that lu accepting the office of Presi
dent of the United States ho assured them ot his
determination to carry faithfully the obliga
tions of that office, and referred particularly”to
ibe necessities for an honest and faithful dis
charge of the Revenue laws. He would call
around him men who would earnestly carry out
the principles of economy, .retrenchment and
honesty, which were desired by the people of the
country. Should the officere of the different
branches of the Government service not satisfy
him in the discharge ,ot their duties, he would
not hesitate a moment about removing them, and
would do so just as quickly with his own ap
pointments as with those of his predecessor.
General Grant stated thathehad not announced
his. Cabinet np to the'time of the official declara
tion of the result of the election, but had intended
at that period to make known the names ol those
whom be would Invite to become members. In
the interval, however, he had concluded not to
make known tho nameß ol the gentlemen whose
services ho would be glad to have in this respect,
even to ihe. gentlemen themselves, until he sent
them into the Senate for confirmation. The
reason for this determination, Gen. Grant said,
was because of the fact that should he do so a
pressure would immediately commence from va
rious parties to endeavor to induce him to
change his deteiminatlon, not so much probably
from the fact that tho opposition would be made
irom personal motives, but on account ot
the interest which gentlemen might havo for their
own friends. For these and other reasons he
bnd concluded to mako no public announcement
of hlB Cabinet until the time mentioned. Gen.
Grant spoke without any reserve, and with the
greatest irankness and courtesy, and his remarks
were received by his distinguished visitors with
every murk of interest and approbation.
Afterwards, Mr. Pruyn, of the committee, ad
dressed Ihe General very briefly to tho effoct that
while the party with which he was identified
differed politically from the President elect, he
desired to assure him that his administration, in
currying out the principles which ho had men
tioned, would have their hoarty support and co
operation.
The speeches wore delivered more In a conversa
tional tone than in a formal, set manner, and tho
occasion was one of quiet though most intense lu

Haior-Gcneral James B, Barnes.
A telegram from Springfield, Mass., announces
the death of Major-General James R. Barnes in
that city yesterday morning. Deceased was a
native of Massachusetts. He graduated at West
Point In 1829, and was one of the five starred
names in a class of distinguished ability, includ
ing Generals Robert E. Lee and Joseph E
Johnston of the rebel army. General Barnes
served in the army for several years, when he
resigned and engaged in business
as a civil engineer. At the out
break of the rebellion, by request
of the Governor of M assaebnsetts, he accepted
command of tbe Eighteenth Massachusetts
volunteers, and served with great distinction In
the Army of the Potomac. After the retirement
of General Martindale, In 1862, he was placed in
command of a brigade in the Fifth Army Corps,
and in 1866 tbe Senate confirmed his nomination
as brigadier-general, with commission to date
from Nov. 29, 1862. At the battle of Gettysburg
he commanded a division and bore an important
part in that .memorable contest. Subsequently
be was made brevet major-general of volunteers.
Throughout the war the deceased served with
distinguished valor and ability. After the rebel
lion had been suppressed he resigned his com
mission and retired to private life. He was
recently a special commissioner of the Union
Pacific Railroad for the government, and was at
one time superintendent of the Western Massa
chusetts Railroad. The death of General Barnes
will be sincerely regretted by a large circle of
friende, and particularly by the brave men who
served under him during the rebellion. He was a
most estimable gentleman, a true patriot, and a
high toned, amiable man Herald.
