Grant's letter, accepting tho nomina? tion of the Chicago Convention, "a gem;" anil highly commends his suggestion "Lei us have peace." lint the Times has little to say ou this subject of Geu. Grant's idea of "bein j left free to execute the will of the people." This is very ambiguous. It may mean nothing or may mean everything. The New York Herald has the following admirable remarks on tho subject. It hits the nail upou the head: " 'The will of the people' is a pret? ty nud popular phrase; and what does it mean? An old divino scourging the conduct of his follows said, 'They set up their owu vanity and call it the will of God;' nud our people can see tho force of this, having hoard pnrsous of every possible abado of fancy declaro the 'will of God' in such terms us to make it identical with their own opinions. It is the same with politicians in declaring the will of the people. It is :t party shibboleth. The 'mill of the people,* as inlerpveled hy any party av. any man, is whatever that party or that mau wisher to d<> or see (lom; uud Cirant, in stiyiug that bo will guido his acts by that convenient authority, only says that he will do what nu tuny choose. He threatens his party with ii master and menaces tho country, in view o? his success, with a Government ns much outsido the Constitution as Thud. Stevens himself would desire. He would be 'left free to execute tho will of the people;' but iL is uiado the duty of the President to execute the laws, and tho two things may bo very different; nay, tho law may directly command quite the contrary I rom what the will of the people requires, even when the will of tho people is interpreted by Gen. Graut. This we have lately seon. Our Constitution was made because the wise men of the Republic thought the will of the people that very quicksand of politics-an unsafefoundation for government; and it is no poiut of good augury for tho future of tho country wbeu we sec the candidate o? a great party adopt? ing that revolutionary catchword und rusting upon it bis ouly rulo of con? duct, proposing to substitute for all the conservativo elements of institu? tions, custom; law, that breath of thu multitude, that bubble of revolution? ary caprice-the will of the people; especially siuco the immediate past gives reason to fear that it will be the will of (he people as interpreted by men of whom Butler ?s (he type." ?AA LESSON von Us.-Mr. .Tames 11 Wsuill, of Washington city, voted the conservative ticket Monday. It is stated that, on Mr. Small appearing at the post oflico, Tuesday morning, to resume bis duties as letter-carrier, bo Wits ordered to leave immediately. But, if a Southern mau discharges a negro for voting to disfranchise him, pome miserable military satrap de? clares that the public shall bo taxed to support tho negro. This is a free cou ut ry !-Richmond Dispatch. A photographer in Gloucester, Massachusetts, was astonishod by a young woman, who came to ask, meekly and innocently: "Howlong does it take tu get a photograph after you leave your measure?" It is estimated that over 845,000 per 1 day is spent in the "policy shops" of Now York city. The amount of op- ! portunities wanted, and of disap- j pointment and misery resulting, is1 beyond estimating. i A German Colony. J. Wood Davidson, in tlie York ville Enquirer of Inst week, furnishes thc following interesting details con? cerning a German settlement below Columbia: All of our readers, perhaps, are not aware of tho fuct that we have a colony of Germans already located and at work in Richland District. Thc colony is as yet a very small one, it is true, but it is a uuclens to which additions, to any desired ex? tent, can bo added. It is called Germantown, and is situated on tho Wateree River, twenty-five miles East of Columbia, and fifteen miles from the South Carolina Railroad. It consists of four families of Germans, and, at present, numbers uineteen persons. It is under the direction and auspices of Mr. H. Leiding, of the firm of Kerrison &Leiding, of Charleston. The Germans com? menced operations the first of No? vember last, by buildiug five dwel? lings-cottages-with suitablo out? houses, digging two wells, and clcar iug, for cultivation, over 200 ncres of laud. They prefer to work uplands rather than take the risk of bottoms. They have hired a few negroes; uud these make the effective force actually at work in tho fields-twelve laborers. During November, they sowed thirty acres of wheat and twenty acres of rye. Since then, they have added eight acres of Irish potatoes; three of sweet potatoes; thirty ol oats; seventy of corn, thirty-five ol cow-peas; and iiftceu of cotton. Do sides this, there are two acres ol garden lots, with the vegetables ol the latitude growing in them. Thej work six horses. Tim aggregate lands in cultivation is 213 acres uearly eighteen acres to each hand. It is the purpose of air. Leiding lo iuurcosn this colony by immigra tioii from Germany; and he is ltopcfu of thc most completo success. . Wo seo no reason why there art uot a hundred such, or larger colonies already in South Carolina If farmers and land-owucrs will ne with prompt and sclf-protcctiuy liber ni i ty, such colonies will spring ii] rapidly all over tho State. Mr. Leiding .suggests tho follow ing six points sis important for thos dostring to give .substantial uncoil rage tn eut to these movements: I. Got sueh labor as the counlr now already has. It they succeed th. y will iuducu others, their friend or relatives, to immigrate from lin ropo. li. Put up a comfortable little hons in a healthy locality for euell lamil;. II. Turu over to thu laborer lift acres of good hind for cultivation and furnish him with a mid?, a co' and a sow with pigs. .1. Furnish him with bacon, cor aud provender for six or oigl mouths. 5. Pay him eight or ten dollars month us a part of his earnings; un then interest him iu the nett pr? eceds, (after having deducted li wages and his support.) ti. Give him a written ngrooinou that, after ono year, and within th years, you will sell him the holli and hind ut a stipulated price. Mr, Leiding, is, himself, a Ge mun by birth., though a Confedera by adoption and service; and I speaks on the .subject with a mo than usual knowledge of what tl German immigrants need und desi to make them comfortable and co tented. There aro several agencies that ti ready and anxious to furnish lulu ors or families at reasonable terni We believe about twenty dollars hand (sovou dollars for eotnmissii and thirteen dollars for transport lion from New York to Columbia) about tho sum necessary to advati in order to secure such labor. Two installments of laborers hn already arrived at Newborry, une the auspices of a sucioty there, t like of which there should bo every other District in South Ca lina. Our friends may pereieve that are in earnest in our advice to ene* rage immigration into our Stn We consider it thc only chance her to recover from her present pr trutiou. But, foremost of all, believe it is tho quickest way to wi out the manifest destiny that ( has in store fer the demented A cans in our midst. . One of tho sharpest polit caricatures is tho "dyiug impon mont gladiator." Ben. Butler prostrate in tho arena, with broken sword and a most dei ralized countenance-whilst I sident Johnson is seen retiring v a heavy spoon ovor his shoo] with which ho has brained l!>o I of Big Bethel. Thc Cane of Miss Vinnie Ream-Thc j JLatcst National Disgrace. Tho radical Congress, in the ejec? tion from tho capitol at Washington of Miss Viiinio Ream, the sculptor, have perpetrated an act which for petty meanness and pnsilnnimons spite, is uupantiled iu the history of that body. This Miss Ream is very young, of even girl-like appearance. Her talent in sculpture having been brought to the attention of Congress, she was employed by that body to model and complete a statute in marble of tho "late lamented Lincoln," and a com? mittee of Congress assigned her a room in the basement wherein to conduct her work; and th?3 was done without her solicitation. There she has since prosecuted her undertaking; her studio being much visited by public mon and artists. She is rep? resented as a young lady of great gentleness and modesty, and as high? ly respected. Miss Ream's fatbei resided in Kansas, and was there th? neighbor of Senator Ross, who, foi this reason, took rooms at Mr. Ream's house, when ho reacher Washington. During the late im? peachment trial, the Senator's vott was a subject of speculation and nianj rumors. Among thc things said was that "Vinnie Roam had in fluenccd him to voto for acquitting Mr. Johnson." Whether true o: not, it was found that Miss Rean inclined to tho President, aud Mr Ro.'s voted for him, and that wa enough. Mr. Bingham nndertool the infamous act of revengo upot this poor girl. He iutrodnced a re solution ordering the room occnpiei by Miss Ream to be titted up us prison for Woolley, and tho roon opposite to be titted up for a guan room. These rooms had been letter ed A and B in tho morning by ordo of tho "managers," und the r?solu lion of Bingham speeilied them n A und B, when there were no othc rooms iu the basement thus lotterei The resolution was passed, and Mis Ream had to'move out her easts an materials at great inconvenience au with great danger to thc model sh was preparing. After the resolutio was adopted, a motion was made, o Friday, to reconsider it, pcudin which a most disgraceful debate rs curred. One Cen. Morgan, of Obit took position us the champiou < Miss Kearn, ami recited the allege purport of a conversation betwec ber and Julian, of Indiana; when upon that gentleman got up, gui his version, proclaiming at its coi elusion that Vinnie Ream or an; body else who gave a different ve sion lied! No one will be surprise to learn that thc mau who matte th proclamation on the floor of Coi gross has been publicly cow-hid? at home by one Col. Meredith. I richly deserved another applicatif of the cow-skin. Butler, the Bea? was naturally inspired by this e ample of blackguardism and cowar ice to make an essay to divide tl infamy with Julinu. He gloat over this brutal act, declaring th the youug lady should not have dollar for her work as long as had anything to do with the Coi mittce on Appropriations, and th the statute was n thing that ought bo broken, as it did no honor to RI Lincoln or the country. All tl malice towards a poor girl upon si piciou of au net which she indignai ly denied. Fit exhibition of ni: hood and honor for radical congre men. INFLUENCING THU VOTES 'il'SE: rous ON TUE IMPEACHMENT.-'I Washington correspondent of 1 Louisville Journal says: Tho following laconic messng which passed over the wires bctwi Parson Brownlow, of Tennessee, II Gen.

"MANHOOD."-Another New Medical Pamphlet from tho pen of Dr. Curtis.
