General Grant The Washington correspondent of thc u Now York Herald" telegraphs as follows, concerning the reception by President Graut of his commission : Ooo of tho most important ceremonies that hos yet occurred in connection with tho in coming administration was performed, to-day, when General Grant was officially informed by Congress of bis election ns President of tho United States. For thc past day or-4wo, ev erybody bas shared iu tho general excitement created by thc discussion of, and speculations upon, what Grant would say upon this inter esting occasion. It was generally supposed that ho Wfjuld disclose to thc favored few, who might then be admitted into his presence, not only tho names of thc gentlemen who n bc bad concludcd to invite into bis Cubinct, but that ho would talk freely of his pb ns and in tentions concerning bis approaching admiuis* tration. Notwithstanding tho. universal in terest manifested to learn these highly impor tant facts, however, thero were but few peo plo gnthcacd nt army headquarters when thc Congressional Committee arrived, ulthongh it had been extensively published that thc com mittee were to bc received nt 11 o'olock this morning. About half-a-dozen frequenters of army bendepuarters, principally officers in thc War Department, and two or three newspa pers correspondents, were in waiting when thc oommittco arrived, which was thirty minutes earlier than tho hour appointed. Senator Morton nnd lleprcsentativcs Wilson, of Iowa, and Pruyn, of New York, were ushered into the ball leading to the General's office, the two former bearing in their hands tho com missions of thc President and vice-President elect. Thc committee were at onco cont *. tod up stairs to tho General's oflicc, followoa | by a numbor of General's tho officers OM Grant's staff, and thc reported of thc press about thirty in nil. Thc members of thc com mittee scated themselves, while, thc small cir. ole of auditors rnnged themselves around thc room. After the lapse of about five minutes, General Grant entered from an adjoining room, neatly attired in black frock coat, vest and pantaloons, plain shirt bosom, turned down collar, black silk neck tie, highly polished boots, and glossy silk bat. On this occasion tho General had prevailed upon himself to dispense with bis inevitable cigar. Ho pass ed through tho opening innde in thc circle of bystanders to tho cbior in front of Iiis desk, re moving bis hat as bo did so. He then shook bands with Sonator Morton, Mr. Wilson Pruyn. When tho General had taken bis stand beside his ohoir, Senator Morton nroso and said : U GKN. GRANT : Tho joint oommittco ap pointed by tho two Houses of Congress visit you this morning to notify you officially, that you havo been cloded President of tho Uni ted States for tho term of four years from tho 4th day of March next. Tho great body of your countrymen bail your elcotion with do light, and evon those who did uot support you at tho polls, ontertain for you tho highest confidence and respect. Tho friends of our country, and tho friends of liberty throughout tho world, rejoice in your elevation to the Presidenoy, and all bolicvo that you will bring to .tho porformanoo of your great duties unal loyed patriotism, unimpeachable integrity, great powers of intellect, and all tho high qualities whioh enabled you to nohif o suob distinguished suceoss another sphere of duty They havo full faith in your ability and s\v'm tues, and cherish tho highest hopes of your Bucoetw, and that during your administration tito Work of reconstruction will bo completed, tho wounds of civil war healed, and that our country will tako a now dopartuo in growth, progress and prospority." At the oonolusion of Mr. Morton's address, *X*l Grant turned the roll of paper whieh ho hold in ids hands, round and round, as though endeavoring to reduce it to tho small, cst sized roll possible, and hesitated but a mo ment or two, when bo beguu his reply in a tone so low as to bc inaudible to those stand ing at tho most distant part of thc room, and a general closing in of tho party occurrcd? each individual of every word that fell from tho lips of our future Chief Magistrate. Turuing to Scoator Morgan, General Graut said : " In reply, I will inform tho committee that it will bc my earnest endeavor to cull around mc as my assistants men who will car ry out th** principles which you soy tho coun ty desires to have succeed-economy, re trenchment, fuithful collection of thc revcu uc, and payment of tho public debt. If I should fail in mt hing my first choice of assis tants, I should not hesitate to make a second, or even a third triul, iu thc hope that I should at last bc successful. lu thc matter of re movals, I will bc governed alone, by thc nec essities of thc service I should just as noon remove from their positious my own appoin tees as I should those of my predecessor. There is ono other matter it may bc proper to mention here, for it may bc that something of thc kiud is expected of mc, that is, iu regard to thc composition of my Cabinet. I have always felt that it would bc indelicate, on my part, to announce those whom I intended tc iuvitc iuto my Cabinet, or even to consult in regard to their selection, until I had bceu oui cially informed of my clcctiou, but did in tend to do so nt this time. Now, however after observation an I reflection, I have conn to thc conclusion that there is not a man it tho country whom I could invite to my Cab inet who would not, immediately after tin announcement, bc thc object of all kinds o adverse criticisms, in the hope to prevent bi sclcctiou and cdnfirmntion, even among tu; owu friends and those of thc parly which clcc ted mc. Many would attempt to change rn, dotcrmiuatiou. I havo, therefore, conclude not to make known, even to tho gcntlomci themselves, thc names of thc Cabinet officer until I send their nominations to thc Senate If I should notify thc gentle at all, whoi I may choose, in advance of their notniat lions, il would not bc moro than two or titre days previously " When thc General stated the he would r soon rcmovo from ofiicc those appointed b himself as he would those appointed by hi predecessor, thc faces of those present wh were already in possession of comfortable o ficos, were interesting to behold. Thc e: pression of pure perplexity depicted th cr ci was moro calculated to excite sympathy fi them than commiseration. This was cv dently an enigmatical sentence to them, au did not furnish any better clue to thc polit that was to govern appointments and remo als than existed before Did he mean th men now in office need not anticipate a gen ral removal or did bo mean that a tcrrib onslaught was to bc made upon thc appoi tees of his predecessors ? That was a que tion just as far from solution now as it waa month ago. "When bc said he. had concludi to withhold thc names of tho gentlemen ] expected to call into his Cabinet, until th wero nominated to the Senate, Mr. Mort nodded his head approvingly, scvcrul bysta dors exchanged significant glances, and i porters arrested thc rapid course of their pe cils os though they wcro not sure thoy h hoard thc correct expression. Thc pvcvaili feeling portrayed in tho surrounding fae seemed to bo that of disappointment, was very olear that tho work of investigad and speculation in regard to tho futuro Ca net was to bo continued until tho Wh House received its new occupants. As sc os General Grant had ceased speaking, n all were conviccd that bc hod no move to s Mr. Pruyn stepped forward, and looking tho General, said : " G?N?RAL GRANT ; After tho allua mado by Senator Morg?n to the sentiment! rospect and confidence entertained town you by tiloso who did not concur in your cl tion, and after h oaring your statement of leading principles which you intend shall g ern your administration-namely, cconoi retrenchment, fuithful collection of tho r cnuo and payment of thc publio debt-it \ not bo presumed out of placo 'o'say I I fully warranted in believing that tho politi party with which I not, will givo to your j ioy in these regards a cordial support." Tho addresses having bcon disposed thcro was a rush at General Grant, folio by a shako hands all round, and a stroan congratulations poured forth, all of which General gravely acknowledged by bowing. Tho committee, ofter leaving Goo Grant's hoadqunrlors, proceeded to tho C toi and waited upon Speaker Colfax in hit ooption room. They preaonted him with a tifioato of his elootion as Vico-Prosid signed by the President of the Senate, _I ?_ then severely congratulated him, lo which friendly expressions ho responded as fol lows : ! " GENTLEMEN : Please convey to thc two Houses of Congress, my acceptance of the office lo which I huvc been elected by thc people of tho United States, and assure them that I Bindi endeavor to provo worthy of this murk of couiidenoe, by Oddity to principle and ?uty." The Duty of tho 8outh. Tho "New York Herald" of last Saturday, in concluding un editorial under tho coplioti cf "Thc Politicians Trying to Stir up Troub les in thc South," says : lu sonic important partiulars wc believe the South will bc agreeably disappointed iii Grant, aud it should not inaugurate his ad ministration by kicking up a fuss in advance. Nor will Grant got imo on unnecessary light with Congress upon thc question of Southern reconstruction. Unconditional negrosuiTrago is what thc white population of thc South aro apprehending. General Grant may not be called upon cither to oppose or approve it. It may be taken out of his hands altogether. There is ampio reason to doubt whether thc proposed amendment to the Constitution call ed thc fiftccuth article, providing for indis criminate suffrage-niggers, Chine e, coolies, digger Indians and all thc rest of thc ballot forsaken portion of creation-will bc adopted by thc required constitutional majority three-fourths of all thc States. Thc Wes does not seem disposed to bow down to it Witness the fiasco of thc Inauguration Ball where, because it was placarded by Weston men, "No niggers admitted," some Euston nigger worshippers split off and would hav nothing to do with the affair. Thc West ha incffuceblc prejudice against ucgro equality United with the South and such of thc North ern States as arc opposed to thc negro cquali ty, thc majority necessary to adopt thc Fil tecnth Amendment cannot bc secured. And upon a question of negro cqualil placed distinctly before the whole people, w arc firm in thc conviction that thc affirmativ would bc voted down by an ovcrwhelmin majority. The sentiment of our populatio is undoubtedly in favor of still reserving I thc several States those rights affecting soci; and doaicstic relations which but few despo ic powers on earth have succeeded in usurj ing and controlling against thc will of th people. Therefore let tho South stick to il proper vocation at this time-work hard, ru it good crops, bc economical, save money, mail tain law and order, and let thc mischief mal ing politicians all go-v.'hcro they belong.

Terrible Tragedy A terrible afluir occurred at au carly hour yesterday morning, at tho house No. 110 Seventh avenue, occupied by a tailor named John Rhodes. A young mau named Peter Bamberger shot his weothcart. and then placing the uiuzzlo of the pistol to bis own head, fired tinco limes. All ?uquiry ?uto thc ?act* of tho ease revealed thc following. STOItr OP THE TRAGEDY. Peter Bamberger, and Sarah Bocrd, young lovers returned from a ball, where they hud been apparently enjoying themselves with mutual zest und pleasure They had mitered thc hall way of thc premises No. 110 Seventh uveuuc, where they both lived, when thc lov er drew from bis pocket a revolver, and sent tho leaden contents of the pistol through her head. He next placed thc revolver opposite his forehead, and discharged three shote which, il is lliought, penetrated his braiu It appears that Sarah Boord, the uuforiU' nato girl, has resided with hcr'stepfather, a1 No. 721 Kiglh avenue, for the past three years, since her mother's death. Siucc thor, she has becu keeping company with Bamber ger, und they were engaged to be married Sonic three months ugo Sarah left the hout?< J of her stepfather, and hired out as a servant to John Rhodes, Bamberger's employer, a No. HG Seventh avenue, and since then he stepfather, George Bocrd, has not sccu her On Wednesday evening Sarah, and her sweet heart, Bamberger, went to a ball, held ii National Hall, in "West Forty-fourth street Yesterday morning about half-past four, the; left thc ball, iu company with Mr. Rhodes his wife, and another man, who, on rcachiuj thc house, left thc lovers in thc hallway. They hud scarcely undressed when they bear a pistol shot, immediately followed by tw others. Mr. Rhodes tcok a light, and wen down blairs, at the fool ol' which he found th young girl, Surah, lying, with a bullet-bole i her left temple, and ut thc door he discovcrc Peter lying iu a pool of blood, which ran froi his head where three balls had entered, ll immediately roused thc neighbors, who gatl ered around in alarm. Both were takcu i an insensible couditicn, and were conveyed t Mount Sinai Hospital, in West Twenty-eight street. THE INVESTIGATION LATER IN TUE DAY. Coroner Rollins attended at tho Mom Sinai Hospital, and examined thc girl Sara Boord as to tho circumstances of thc shoo ing. She stales that she was engaged to I married to Bamberger. On Wednesday nigl bc and she went to a ball at tho Nutiou Assembly Rooms, and returned about G o'cloc yesterday morning. Thc hall was dark, ar they wcro talking plcsautly togcthor, and about three minutes she was shot. Thc was no misunderstanding between them, ai they were to bo married soon. Her fath Was opposed to it ; she never saw thc pist fuuud in Bamberger's possession, and he hi never threatened violence upon her or lin self in Ciuso she refused to marry him ; the was no ono in thc ball ut thc time, so far she knows; Rauibcrgor was sober, and aft she was shot she knew nothing for some lit! time Tho girl evidently desires to couv tho impression that she was not shot by h lover. A FALSE REPORT. Tho report, when first related to thc poli o? nc Sixteenth precinct, was that they w< both shot by her stepfather, whereupon officer was dispatched to arrest, him, and si cceded in doing so as ho came from a Hep store in Forty-seventh street. Cn being formed of thc occurrence, he seemed storth Tho following letter, written in German, v found on thc person of thc unfortunate mt which shows that tho deed was premcdi ted: A DVINO REQUEST. "DEAR BROTHER : I nm sorry for < poor parents, for thc poin and shamo I hi brought upon you, ond all, and forgive mi you can, for I can't do otherwise I ca live without her, and to live with her wo not do.

AshbjM Stepheus, well known throughout "West VjBB ginia as n Methodist minister, now a tcnchqH at Point Pleasant,has invented a clock which^ may justly bc ranked among tho remarkable inAcntions of thc time. It is not, accurately speaking, a clock, but an attachment which may he joined to any clock. It calculates with scientific precision, the rising and setting and setting of tho suu, moou and stars ; shows the changes in the moon, and calculates all tho eclipses. It shows thc right ascension and descensi?n of thc stars, thc place of thc sun and moon iu thc zodiac, and iu what con stellation, with many other of thc celestial | phenomena. This it will do for one hundred years to come. At thc cud of that time it would have to bc stopped, so as to lose a day to make the calculation correct for the next hundred years-a necessity growing out of thc fact, understood by scientific men, that calendar time does not absolutely corrcsnaudj with actual time, sotlmt in a cenfrrry'' former gains a day.

TERRIBLE DEATH.-A colored man met with an awful death in thc neighborhood of New Paris, Ky., a few nights since. A neigh bor, a white man, had killed his hogs and left them out at night. Thc negro undertook to steal one, and was in such a hurry to secure thc pork that bc forgot to remove thc gambrcl stick. To reach his home it was necessary to cross a fence. In doiug so bc pl iced thc hog on the top rail, and it is supposed that it ?lip ped-^-at any rate, thc negro's head was caught in thc oj l ing of thc hind legs, and his neck was broad by thc stick. Ho was found next morning dead, tho bog on one side of thc fence and he on thc other, with his head fast as described. A REMARKABLE TRANCE CASE.-A u ihv ber of tho Milwauko physicians havo boen examining'a remarkable case at Burlington, Iowa-that of Mina Keusche.' On tho 8th of Jauuary sho called ber father to her bed. side and told him she was .going to sleep, and that she should sleep a long time. She said she should look as though sho was dead, bat sho should not bo dead ; and made her fath er promise that ho would not bury ncr. She thon sank away, nnd has laid in that state sinco tho 8th of January. On Monday lost a vein was tapped/ and tho blood floowed ns naturally aa it would in living person. WHAT IS EXPECTED.-Tho philosopher of tho "Tribune" is pointing out to tho Presi dent eloot tho kind of company ho is expec ted to kcop. Ho says : "Wo vonturo to say that whilo General Grant probably selects tho company that best suits his taste, both among white men and black, he will not decline to minglo in a pub lic entertainment with men whoso votes assis ted in his election. If a blaok utan was good onough to voto for tho Republican party in North Carolina, ho is good enough to attend an inauguration hall in Washington." And if ho is good onough for all that, why not good onough to frequent Greoly's mansion, and conduct the ladies thereof to public en tertainments ? nw i III i mn III i mmw?ura n ? ? mn ? II IWIMMHH The Cow Pea as a Fertilizer. Thc bonoGts of growing green crops, and burying them iu tho soil for thc bcufit of fu turo crops are too well Understood to bo ques tioned by any one, but it has opened a ques tion in agricultural economy that has not been Ectllcd so satisfactorily. Thc English farm ers formerly used half a ton of ground bones per acre to grow a siuglc crop, but they haye found by dissolving 200 pounds of bones ia acid, at a cost of GO per cent, on thc price o? bones (making thc whole cost equal to that of 800 pounds of bones), that it will produco thc same effect nt an outlay of only 30 pot? cent, on thalt?j??b^^w^^inudc, thc latter mcthoA??nH ; .' .w, -JftL returning thcjgaH '"-''I WKI next vc|| Bkc same Hi.- m&G to H Harrow H ?

Here again tho question of soluble and insoluble manures is involved. I have always taken tho side Of soluble manures ns being thc most economical. Pry pea vines and clover will soon becomo solublo. I will give you my practice. It is ono ." ' t will pay, although I will not say that it is tho best. First, keep your laud in good heart j let thc field that you intend to sow peas on remain fallow, until you lay by your corn say from the 1st to the 20th of July. You ??ill then haven large growth of grccu weeds Mbiru under. Start your teams with good ?dows, running wff tho land as nearly SPn&u you can, and go round and round un HHc land or cut is finished.. Start thc pea Dropper after every third plough, and the nano with tho (uanure ofter thc pen-dropper. Drop thc manure within four inches of tho peas. If you find tho peas will make from seven to fifteen bushels per acre, turn stock iu upou them, placing sal; in places over tho fifth!, to cause thc most of tho manure to bo ?finned on the field. Then invest all tho ?Lansing from feeding stock on the field H^d Peruvian guano for tho next SPPPS Hf OU will find this system will pay. 1 havo adopted it with both wheat and cotton, with good success. If thc peas fail to fruit, turn them under whilst green. SECOND PLAN.-Plant peas tho first of April, same as above ; turn uudcr before tho stems become very woody, and plant and ma nure a second crop ut the same time that you arc turning under the first crop of vines, and treat tho sccoud crop as you did the first. Thc true policy is to secure thc greatest amount of soluble vegetable mold you can ac cumulate with thc least cost. Very truly, yours, PATIO DICKSON. N. B.-I prefer peas planted nui cultiva* ted on a level, both for tho land and crop, and for a sowing of small graiu after the pea crop. Sn ou LD ORCHARDS BE PLOWED?-Tho most plausible argument that can be advanced against thc practice of plowing thc ground around fruit trees of any kind is the fact that every tree will send out a system of coronal roots just beneath the surface of thc soil which will again throw out branch rootlets in a hort* zontal direction, all of which will continue to multiply until thc entire surface of thc ground is completely occupied with open mouths of hungry rootlets, ready to drink in the first supply of nourishment that is dissolved by the falling showers. It is as much a legiti mate habit of a fruit tree to provide a close net-work o octa, near tho surface of the Etround, as it is to send other roots downward into tho earth. Every fruit tree, deciduous, ornamental and timber trees, as well as ever? ?roens of all kinds, when growing on dry up* land, will scud down a long tap root, for thc purpose of reaching moisturo, to supply th? growing season. Let thc tap-root bo removed ind tba tree will mnko brit slow growth, be jansc ita habit has boen interfered with. Th< jame is truo touching tho upper system o coronal, or secondary roots, near the surfac )f tho ground. Theso arc, what aro proper ly called the feeders of tho parent stem. Thc ihould not bo mutilated nor removed, as the usually arc out off and torn away by tho plow All vegetation should bo kept down ardern fruit trees as far ?rom tho body as tho oxtifljg ity of the longest branohes, by hoeing 'tb Burfaoo over frequently, or by tho applicsttoi of a few inohes irt dopth if a mulch. Frui trocs may bear well when every coronal roo has boen removed with tho plow j but if thus roots had not boon removed, thc crop of fi ni would have boen moro abundant.--Jffeart) and Home. . ?-.-^.?4?! ....... . . ?
