IFrom the New York Republic. Personal Adminstration Orgm. No Resjmption of Specie Pay ments. The Journol of Comnwrece and the Tribune, since the election, are vast ing their energies on the question of how to early resume specie. payments. They had as well as reserve their labor in this direetion. There is no proba bility that any measure of this sort will be attempted by the prcsent Con gress. There.is stil! less probability thathe Congress to conic in next December year will be suffered by the South. and West to seriously discuss the question. The present Republican Adminis tration, since the election of last week, feel relieved from all obligations to force liard money on the country. Six months ago the President, advised and Vrged by the hard-money financial people in New York, did consent to recommend the early return to specie paym.ents. He event went to the ex tent of recommending the repeal of the Legal-Tender act of 1862, after a: given notice to the country. He was madeIto believe that this was the pop-I ular sentiment-at leist in the great State of New York. He therefore took issue with a score of his best friends in Congress from the West, who insisted that the party could not afford to go to the country on contrac tion and hard money. Such men as Mr. Morton of Indiana, Mr. Logan of Illinois, and Ir. Ferry of Michigan were so earnest in their protests and convictions on the subject that they were almost driven to open revolt againt the Administration ., the an expected veto of the President. It was a nicelv balanced question, as . we happen to know, whether they should denounce in the Senate the mistaken views of the President, or leave the whole subject to be settled, later in the session by compromise. The latter alternative was adopted, for the suffi cient reason that the Western Senators knew the President to be sincere in his conviction that the popular financial seDiment demaLded specie payments, and as a preliminary thereto the repeal of the legal tender desirable. The veto was sustained, and the President was warmly congratulated in certain quar ters where he was not supported last Tuesday. It is now sufliciently clear to the Republican Administration that the country was not then prepared for specie payments and that the whole aritation was badly timed and, as the result proves, unpopular. The party have been routed on th. cry of hard times, and the pressure of the haId times was aggravated by the advanced position taken by the President on New York advice. As to the doing away with greenbacks and the repeal of the legal tender,there was no real popu lar demand then, and there is infinitely less nowl The President was deceived into a different opinion, but he is not the man to persevere in a blander made so palpable by the recent elec tions as to leave little doubt that hard inoney and no greenbacks constitute about the last issue before the people when under pressure of hard times which should be made a party in ad ministration. We therefore mane bold to say to * ur neighbors that if they want hard in a ur th wi have to go Tuesday. The Administration will gracefully bo otepopular repug nance to contraction and speedy specie payments, and they have lost all anxiety c-about repealing legal tender as a nos . trum for our financial ills, especially as * another war might, possibly, in the -near or remote future, have to be fought with Greenbacks. The Journal and the Tribune can apply a year b enee to, and may have better hack with, the XLIVth Democratic Con-. gress, but we doubt it. We shall all probably live to be much older before we realize hard money. Sonth Carolina and MYassachu setts. *-We are permitted, says the News & -Courier, to publish the following let ter, written by a leading citizen .of -Boston to a Charleston friend. The writer is a Republican, and, until the late election, had never voted for a Democrat. He is a man of culture - and of larg2 means, and, while thank -ing. him for his good words, we feel warranted in saying that the people of South Carolina comprehend the char acter and causes of the political revo - hition in the North and West, and are determined to be governed, in all things, by moderation and common BosToN, MAss., November 8, 1874. -When I told you in New York that you would see a great ehange in the -returns from Massachusetts, I did not *dare to predict any such uprising as youdhave beheld. It is glorious, in de,and everybody here seems de lighted-thrilled, I may-at the anni hilation of the small party-men and r.nrrow-minded politicians.. TVe have done a big work; but so has the whole country. It did my soul good to read of the celebrations and rejoicings in the South on the good rews; for your people, God knows, have had *little to rejoice over these niany years. My only regret in all the result is, that the Tidal Wave did not reach poor South Carolina. But vou seem to *have carried a fine local vietdfry in the City of Charleston. i know well that the "Southern Question" bad a greait deal to do with determining the result of our late elec tions. A stroug appeal was made to our sense of justice and fair-play. Be sides, we were beginning~ to see very clearly that a loathsome disease could not settle upon: a portion of the body -without, in time, killiQg the whole body. And so we have riseu up to help the South, and help our whole country, and make it united and strong and once more worthy of all our love. God grant it may be so. This is no triumph of the Demo cratie party, but of necessity the peo pie have used it for other purposes. No greater misfortune could fall upon the Southern States than to misun derstand the situation. If wise and temper.e masures pravail, a~ thev E~rief Mentions.. Mr. lloLert Bryce, an old Columnila me2Cr chant, died in Spartanburg on the 13th inst. There is said to be a birth every five min utes in London, and a death every eight min utes. The regular term of the State Supreme Court comienced at Columbia on the 24th instant. Ten thousand men, women and children arc said to be without the nccessaries of life in New York City. We learn that Mrs. Henry Bachman, who resides about eight miles from Lexington village, fell dea(on Wednesday morning last, while preparing breakfast. The dwelling house of 31r. Win. Bryson, near Cross 11ill, Laurens Co., was set on fire one night last week, but was fortunately saved from destruction. Mr. and Mrs. William Kirkwood,of Charles ton. celebrated their golden wedding on the 1Srh. 31r. Kirkwood is one of the old city fathers, and now in bis 79th year. West Virginia has a "civil damage" law under which a liquor seller has been adjudged to pay a wife seventy-five dollars for selling liquor to her husband, to her consequent neglect and maltreatment. R. H. Kirk, who issued the warrant for the arrest of John J. Patterson (H1onestJohn)for bribing the Legislature to elect him to the United States Congress, is a candidate for reading clerk of the House of Representa tives. The city of Rome is said to be honey-comb ed with about 900 miles of subterranean pas sage ways cut throngh the solid rock, and that these contain the bodies of 6,000,000 to 7,000,000 of human beings entombed there since the city was built. Two colored men, named John Bug and Jim Anderson, are robbing persons on the highway in Spartanburg County. They are said to be cowardly fellows, and always look eat for solitary travelers. They are ex-con viets, pardoned by Gov. Moses. All the Christian sects together comprise a membership of about 330,000,000. while heathen worshippers count over 1,000,000,000. The Buddhists alone have 340,000,000. The 1toman Catholic church embraces 195.000,000 followers, while all the Protestant denomina tions combined number only 68,139,000. It is said that Governor-elect Tilden, of New York-, is -vcry anxious to give such ex pression to conservative vievs on the nation al finances, in his inaugural, as will leave the Western Democracy in no doubt as to how New York stands and intends to stand in the approaching Presidential campaign on that question. Grant wants no Republican conference. He says the Republican Congressmen may consult about things, but they needn't do so on his account, and he and his Cabines will not join them. This is very sensible in Gen. Grant. He would best keep out of entangle ments with the beaten Radicals, who might want him to do some foolish thing in the vain hope of saving them. A desperado named Tom Adams, an En glishman, was recently killed at Mazatlan, Mexico. Before he died he confessed that he was guilty of fourteen murders, all but one of which were committed in the United States and Canada, and for none of which was he even arrested. The only legal punish ment he has ever received was three years' imprisonment for burglary in Chicago. A Brooklyn bride's back hair fell down and fell off during the ceremony in church the other evening. There was an instant's pause, but nobody was brave enough to stoop down and pick up the mass of blonde stuff and hair pins. The bride left the church leaning heavily on her husband's arm. Her face was very red, a sprout of hair (possibly eleven bairs in all) stuck out at the back of her head, tied with a bit of shoe-string. And now her pa is mean enough to refuse to pay the poor hair-dresser's bill. Why it Will be a Remarkable Body. The forty-fourth Congress will be a remarkable body, as well as for the ab sence of familiar faces as for the pres enee of new ones. The changes in the House raiy be somewhat roughly in dicated as follows: Memnber.s of present House........292 Willing to be re-elected..........22.5 Beaten in convention............. 68 Beaten by the people............. 52 Re-elected.....................105 Eections to be held................7 New members............. .. ...170 It is seldom that a general election revolutionizes the House so completely as in this instance. The proportion of new members is large, and among the present members who will not return are some of the most influential mn in the House. The absence of Butler, Ellis H. Roberts, William Walter Phelps, Negley, Judge Hoar, Dawes, Hooper, Goochi, Ward, McNulty, Marshall, Cobb, Stanard, ex Governor Ward, Gunekel, Parsons and Poland, will be felt, and, upon the whole, enjoyed. New members who are expected to make a mark in the House, are: Gen'l Banks and Julius H. Seelye, of Massa chusetts ; J. Proctor Knott, of Ken tucky; ex-Governor Phillip F. Thomas, of Maryland; Gen'1 Williams, of Detroit; Allen Porter, of Kalamazoo; Simeon B. Crittenden, of Brooklyn; Winthrop- W. Ketcham, of Wilkes Bare; John H. IReagin, of Texas, (one of .Jefferson Davis' cabinet); James W. Throckmorton, of Texas; Gilbert C. Walker, of Virginia ,and Michael C. Kerr, of Indiana. [Chicago Tribune.

"The important notice of his Cx elleucy the Governor addres.sd to all t ounty treasurers and auditors in the tate will hardly reach the purpose I ur which it is designed. The circular f the couptrollcr-general suspending r postponing the collection of the neoning taxes was, in fact, the joint et of the Governor and comptroller eneral, and it cannot now be changed, unlified or explained by the act of he Governor alone. The collection of the incoing axes, therefor . must be regarded as Lgally suspended or postponed until he .30th inst., and will continue from hat time until the 15th of January." So says the Union-Herald in re- f :ard to the notice which is published ' a another column. Mr. D. R. Phifer -sues his notice that the books fur he collection of taxes are open.

The situa ion is muddled. Live for Something. 'Yes, and for something worthy of ife and its capabilities and opportuni- e ies, for noble deeds ard achievemets. I very wan and woman has his or her ssignnent in the duties and responsi ilities of daily life. We are in the vorld to make the world better; to ft it up to higher levels of enjoyment ud prodress, to make its hearts and omes brighter and happier by de oting to our fellows our best though ts, etivities. and influences. It is the otto of every true heart and the C enius of cvery noble life, that "no aan liveth to himself'-lives chiefly t or his own selfish good. It is a lw of our intellectual and moral b-,ing hat we promote our own happiness a the exact proportion we contribute o the comfort and enjoynnt of thers. Nothing worthy of the name f happiness is possible in the expe ierience of those who live only for hewselves, all oblivious of the wel are of their fellows." Limit your Wants. Lord Bolingbroke, in his "Reflec ions upon Exile,' says :-"Our natur 1 and re3l wants are confined to nar ow bounds, while those which fancy .nd custom create are confined to one." Young men who1 are just en ering upon life, and forming the abits which are likely to adhere to hem to its close, will do well to treas re up in memory these true and in truetive words of one of England's inest writers and most philosophic tatesmen: "Our natural and real ants are confined to narrow bounds." t is surprising how little it is that is bsolutely essential to man's existence, ud. if he will take an intelligent and ~onsidrate view of life, to his comn ort aud happiness. Intellectual en oyments are comparatively cheap. Lhe cultivation t>f the mind, which iffrds tile highest and the only en luring satisfaction, can be pursued on tf income quite insignificant for the upply of luxuries. Our physical vants are very few, if we preserve our astes simple, as they are by nature. [o eat, to drink, to exercise, to sleep, o keep warm., and to be sheltered ; a mall sum will supply all these necs ities. The pleasures which are pure, Ld which tend to our improvemeut, re within tihe reach of almost every ne. But the wants which fancy and ~ustomi create, as Lord Bolinigbroke vel says, arc confined to no bounds. t is against thlese that young men on he threshold of life should sedulouisly tard. Beware of luxurious and ex ensive habits. The gratification of hem may cost you much of the labor md time which, if given to intellect al cultivation), would be far mrore :onduive to happiness. It is easy :o do without that wvhinh you have lever indulged in. It is hard to leave >ff habits, however extravagant and bsurd. When you are to decide bout adopting a mode or style of liv ner, consider well whether it is cer-I ~ain, that, without ineovenience, von will be able always to preserve it. zhe )ly safe rule is to keep your wants vithin narrow bounds.

In the recent elections the people have declared Im in favor of honesty in politics and independence T in journalism. yHE TRIUNEs, which years ago a declared that it was not and never more would be a party organ, claims the verdict, as tile popu- s lar vindication of its course, and recognizes in the result the voice of the people for reform and -- integrity in government, for candor and inde pen.d?ence among newspapers. During the cam pain which has just closed TaE TaxBcNE has 1';y maintained its right to the title of the 'Leading Amaerican Newspper." This position it has earned and retaInd for the following, among other reasons:t It publishes all the news, earlier, more fully, andl more intelligeLtly than any other paper. It insists oni peace throughcut the whose coun try, the right of local self-government, and the protection of all classes in the exercise of their just and legal rights. it advocates confidence and good feeling be tween North and South, and labors for an hion est and abiding reconciliation. SIt maintains fairness and candor toward all public men and questions, and dignity and cours tesy toward associates and rivals. It publishes scientific news, reports, discussions and discoveries~ to a decree of fllness and acca-r racy never before attained by any paper. It gives every week ten or moure columns of the most careful ly prepared agricultural matter du ring the year. muc more in the aggregate than the entire contents of any other agricultural publication, and the whole forming a&dpartment of which an emnh.ert a ricultural editor said: "It has done more to ma -e good farm era thanI ar.y other influence which ever existed." It has published a .series of scientific and liter ary extras which have met a wider sale and more emphatic popular approval than any similar pubication of the kind.

While deling with all the topics comnig within the range of a newspaper, inhs TRIBUNE makes a th speialty of the great subject of agriculture. It si: becomes thierefo~re a matter of vitl importance to the country that the direction of the ideas of PE tis vast section should be in able and conscien- tr; tious hands, and a matter for congratulation that the farnier's newspaper par excellence has the high standing of the TuE Tnz3BUN.-The N.
