Biography is second perhaps only to History, in giving an insight into human nature, and a true knowledge of “man and his motives;” and it must ever be a most agreeable rarity to book lovers, from the numberless fic tions with which the press is now in undated. To believe that the purity i and nobility of character portrayed, ! are real and not ideal, is a source of great satisfaction to the lover of truth.

In another editorial it says, with much truth : “The liberal move ment was at one time formidable, and had a prospect of success. Had not millions been expended to arrest its progress in the State electoins of the 'ast three months, it might even have swept the country, though the money raised in its behalf would at besthave been pence to balance pounds. But a peril anticipated is often a peril avert ed. Thousands of the voters of North Carolina, Vermont and Maine were convinced by money that they might better vote the Administration than the Liberal ticket and that, if they could not so vote, it was their interest to stay at home on election day and not vote at ali.

All the articles contained in the volume, from his pen, are distinguish ed by solidity and force of thought as well as purity and elegance of diction. A life spanning almos a century, which participated in the success of one rebellion, and witnessed the sup pression of the second, a life crown ed with honors, and the confidence and esteem ofalmost all the Presidents of the U. S., and a large portion of which life was spent in foreign courts, could not fail to be deeply interesting, even in detail. His after dinner ad dress at the Celebration of the Eng lish Diplomatic Club at St. Peters burg, Russia, in which he compliments the representatives of every nation present, is exceedingly happy, and as the author observes, beautiful even in the reading. His address before the Frankfort, (Ky,) Athemeuni.on his re turn, upon “Russia and her Resources,” is one of the most comprehensive and satisfactory articles of the kind we have ever read. The Appendix and Memoir of Gov. Shelby by Col. Todd will be preserved, as of great impor tance, for Historical reference. The author, G. W.

I extend an invitation to everybody to give m© a call before purchasing elsewhere, and be convinced that I am offering GREAT BARGAINS- * My Motto is “Quick Sales and Small Profits That Mr- Greeley bears his defeat with a true philosopher’s resignation, nobody will deny. The following, from the Tribune, shows how the Phi losopher extracts comfort from his misfortunes: There has been no time until now within the last fwelve yearsWhen the Tribune was not supposed to keep, for the benefit of the idle and incapa ble, a sort of Federal employment agency, established to get places un der government for those who were indisposed to work for their living.— Any man who had ever voted the Re publican ticket believed that it was the duty and the privilege of the edit or of this paper to get him a place in the Custom House. Every red-nosed politician who had cheated at the cau cus and fought at the polls looked to the editor of the Tribune to secure his appointment as gauger, or as Army Chaplain, or as Minister to France.— Every campaign orator came upon us after the battle was over for a recom mendation as Secretary of the Treas ury or the loan of half dollar. If one of our party had an interest pending at Washington, the editor of the Tri bune was telegraphed in frantic haste to come to the capitol, save this Bill, crush that one, promote one project or stop another, lie was to be every body’s friend, with nothing to do but to take care of other folks’ business, sign papers, write letters, and ask fa vors for them, and to get no thanks for it either. Four-fifths of these people were sent away without what they wanted, only to become straightway abusive enemies ; it was the worry of life to try to gratify one demand in a dozen for the other fifth. The man with two wooden legs con gratulated himself that he could never be troubled with cold feet. It is a source of profound satisfaction to us that of fice-seekers will keep aloof from a de feated candidate who has not influence enough at Washington or Albany to get a sweeper appointed under the Sergeant-at-Arms, or a deputy-sub-as sistant temporary clerk into the paste- pot section of the folding room. At last we shall be let alone to mind our own affairs and manage our own news paper, without being called aside ev ery hour to help lazy people whom we don’t know and to spend our strength in efforts that only benefit people who don’t deserve assistance.— At last we shall keep our office clear of blatherskites and political beggars, and go about our daily work with the satisfaction of knowing that not the most credulous of place-hunters will suspect us of having any credit with the appointing powers. That is one of the results ofTuesday’s election for which we own ourselves profoundly grateful. Fair.— ticket a small majority in North Caro lina, and nearly the Republican ma jorities of 1S6S in Vermontand Maine; and thus was encouragement given to the enormons outlay by which Penn sylvania was made to roll up for Hart- ranft at least treble her Republican majority. There was nothing pur chasable in the Keystone State that was not bought, whether of voters, electioneerers, or inspectors and can vassers; and but one party had the wherewithal to buy. The small, yet ample majorities iu Ohio and Nebras ka, with the balanced result iu Indi ana, assured all who stood aloof watch ing the struggle as cool spectators that Grant’s re-election w 7 as highly probable; and at once a stampede to the winning side began which grew day by day more formidable. If we, who were in the thick of the fight, could not see this, it was obvious to those who profited by it, and their hopes were swiftly swelled into cer tainties. Thousands who had been perspiring with zeal for the Liberal cause silently dropped into the swell ing torrent. The gallant few who stood out might as well have tried to stern the torrent of Niagara. Well, we did our best to stem it, be lieving firmly 1. That no President should be re-elected while wielding the enormous patronage of our highest' station—holding that each should be shielded from all temptations to use those powers for personal ends. 2. That this country was in great need of a genuine Civil Service Reform which should restore to her office holders that freedom to think, decide, and act on political issues, which is their birthright, but which they can not enjoy under the present system, and which should enable them to give their days to the public duties for which they are paid, rather than to patrolling and electioneering in the partisan interest of their patron and chief. 3. That the war-wasted, tax- plundered, debt-covered, half bank rupt South should be cheered with a well-grounded hope of honester rule and brighter days, wherein the carpet bagger shall cease to plunder as the Ku-Klux lvlan have long since ceased to alarm and outrage. It did seem to us that the time had fully come for a National Reconcilia tion, whereby the destinies of the South should be confided to the better portion of her people of both races, and the master spirits of such traves ties of Republican rule as South Caro lina and Arkansas be made to quail un der the frown of Federal authority, and either reform their ways or relin quish their abused power. And it seemed to us that such enormous de dications as Paymaster Hodge’s S474.000 ought at least to be explain ed before power is returned to the hands which wielded it while such great frauds went on lor years unde tected. But the people have decided otherwise, and we bow to tbeir deci sion. The wealth of the country, and es pecially the incorporated wealth, ral lied to the support of Gen. Grant, and poured out its millions in its be half. It did not generally deny that his civil career had been faulty; it merely insisted that that of his com petitors had been and would^ be more so. Then our manufacturers, bankers, etc., were nearly ali making money, and they deprecated any chauge what ever, and especially a chauge which they feared might prove radical and fundamental. Mr. Boutwell in the Treasury had satisfied them that he was trying to keep the discount on greenbacks ranging between 10 and 14 per cent., so that the devices and struggles of the gold and stock gam- or Is Grant’s Re-Election the Doom of the Republic? Now that I resident .Grant has se cured hiS re-election, his course will be watched with interest by the coun try. We would not judge him harsh ly. He is not so bad a man as Mor ton. He is merely selfish, and deter mined to keep high office, regardless of the means. Morton is morally a worse man; and so, no doubt, is But ler. But Grant, such as he is, is now fastened upon the country' for at least another term. Easy going, aud care less of the tendency of the government in the hands of intriguing and unscru pulous men to whom he has given up the practical shaping of affairs, he thinks more of his personal ease and enjoyment, and of his revenues, than he does of political principles, or the ories of government. To General Grant this new lease of power presents itself as a pleasant assurance of plenty of money, and an unlimited indulgence in creature comforts, and pleasure de rived from journeyings to and fro, and summer life at the seaside. He doesn’t like to be annoyed with bothering mat ters of State. He prefers to leave all such things to others. Even in his annual official messages he lets “Mor ton put that in.” His administration will be one protracted high carnival of plunder and s-df-enlolumerit among the Camerons, Blaines, Butlers and Hartranfts, a most numerous crowd, who will now have ample opportuni ties of amassing ill-gotten wealth. The enormous excess of revenue brought into the Treasury under the Tariff, and the hundred sources of that wealth for Washington suckers which is derived from a heavily taxed people, will supply the material foi gigantic schemes oi plunder to be put through Congress, aud large private “grabs” by those who have gained the foot hold to reach the money. Without being himself more especially corrupt than many of his friends, and far less so than some, Gen. Grant’s adminis tration will be one of general, if not open, corruption and plunder. Ilis Republican competitors for the office—Boutwell, Blaine, Colfax, and some others—will indue time ascer tain whether he means to resign the office with at the end of this second term, or not. If he retires on the 4th of March 1S77 it will be to some life office a big salary, which Congress will supply for him. Gen. Grant, un like Jackson, unlike Johnson, unlike almost any of his predecessors, will re tire from the Presidential office a richer man than he went into it. He has already amply enriched himself; he will still further add to his financial means. And those who surround him will all line tbeir pockets for life. They are entering upon a long and sunny harvest,—and they will all make hay while the sun shines. The people pay for the entertainment. Senator Sohurz, who knows the President, made a speech in St. Louis in October, in which he declared that if Grant was re-elected the country would witness the most corrupt ad ministration it had ever seen. He de nied that there was freedom of elec tions in the South, and prophesied a time when they would have to fight fire with fire, force with force, and the country would witness the deplorable results seen in Mexico and South America. He said, “Four years from now they might be forced to elect Grant for a third time, and they would not be able to htly themselves, for in that time he would be able to elect him self.” He stated that he had always been a Republican, always advocated the principles of that party, always endorsed it3 course, and that the prin ciples which he advocated as a Repub lican are his principles and his course still. But he could not shut his eyes to the truth, nor could he afford to conceal his real apprehensions. It cannot be denied that an Administra tion which has shown itself capable of such acts as this one has resorted to in the elections in Philadelphia last month, and New York this week, is capable of almost any act of usurpation or corruption.—Hartford Times. Affairs and Aspects of Boston. Boston, 3 a. m., November 12.— The streets are now perfectly quiet. Two hundred and fifty mounted sol diers patrol the streets and no one, not having authority from the com mandant, is permitted to pass the lines of infantry; and one man who attempted to enter a store on Winter street, who refused to leave, after be ing repeatedly ordered away and start ed to run when about to be arrested, was shot by the guard. Extensive lines of hose are stretched all over the ruins, and engines station ed at most every hydrant, ready at the moment to be worked if occasion should require. Points where persons are known to be buried, the ruins are being cooled with water, preparatory to digging out the corpses ot the victims. Immense piles of coal at Russia wharf embracing about 500 tons are still afire. The city authorities have granted to dry-goods merchants the privilege of using the Common as the repository for such of their property as is saved; and to erect shanties and other struc tures for temporary use. Three men were discovered in an attempt to break into a room in the Parker House, but made their es cape. It is rumored that a drunken wretch late in the evening attempted to set fire to the gas house near Charlestown bridge, but was seifed by an infuria ted crowd and unceremoniously hung up to a lamp post. Three men were buried under a fall ing wall on Washington street, leav ing their heads only visible. The efforts made to rescue them from this horrible position were una vailing, and in a few moments after the remains of the wall fell, crushing and burying them from siuht. It is estimated that nearly 10,000 girls are thrown out of employment by the fire. It is known that thirty lives have been lost. Detachments of the first and second regiments are quartered in the Old South Church. This build ing has not been thus used since the British officers quartered there iu tho Revolution, about 100 years ago. Six men were arrested this morning in the northern part of the city— caught in the act of firing buildings, by kindling bonfires in the rear of them. The streets are patrolled by the military. Boston at Midnight. Boston, Midnight, November 11.— The steam engines are busy to-night playing on the debris. All the streets leading thereto are strictly guarded. Although the city is dark and gloomy, there being no gas, large crowds hover round the vicinity of the ruins. biers should create no “pressure” “panic.” Whether the means ployed were legal or otherwise was to them a quite subordinate considera tion—the issue of millions of new greenbacks, or snap sales of millions of gold, troubled them not—so long as the end were attained of making or keeping money easy and the disparity between gold and legal tender as near ly uniform as might be. Royalty travels uow-a-days. The Russian Grand Duke Alexis is one of these wandering dignitaries, and “His Imperial Highness” has been visiting his imperially high brother the Maha rajah of Johore, in Asia. The Maha rajah does things very royally, when he has a Grand Duke for his guest, and he therefore ordered out his lar gest Bengal tigeress and his fiercest buffalo. Alas ! the tigress “no fightee, Sahib.” The buffalo charged her at once, knocking her about dreadfully. Every endeavor was made to rouse the courage of the tigress, but it was of no avail- At last, by means of rope and pulley, the tigress was raised by tire neck and let fall upon the back of the buffallo, and after, making a last grasp at his neck fell off, and was im mediately butted and pounded to death by the enraged buffalo. It was even worse than a Spanish bull fight, and as disappointing as the execution Lord Tomnoddy attended. So they all went to dinner, and were jolly, and the Maharajah really made a most excellent, complimentary, and sensible speech. Worcester Underwriters Caving-. Worcester, November 12.—Tho People’s Insurance Company lose half a million. Their policies are called in for cancellation. The Bay State In surance Company, losing half a million, has suspended. The other companies of this city continue. Discovery of Gold in Virginia. Washington, D. C., November 12. —The presence of auriferous metal3 in Virginia in the neighborhood of the Potomac, Rappahannock and other streams, as well as in the foot hills of the Blue Ridge, has long been known; but the location of a permanent quartz mine or reef, has not been thoroughly- demonstrated until lately. For a year past parties of experience have been engaged in developing a mine near Kelley’s Ford. Five miles from Rap pahannock station, in the neighbor hood of a well known place for de posits, they have found a series of well defined gold-bearing veins, loca ted in a mound three-fourths of a milo from the river. The surface rock of the decomposed quartz bears a strict resemblance to the ore taken out in the richest districts of California. A shaft eighty feet deep cuts three veins at a depth of fifteen, forty-five and seventy-five feet, yielding rock worth from SCO to $100 per ton. Tho deposit seems to be a basin of veins, showing full gold with carbonates, aud not sulphates. Three tunnels are now being worked through rich rock, and everything gives evidence of per manency. H.

Mas. Gaines’Lawsuits.—Mrs. General Gamee anil her famous lawsuits are again commanding the attention of the people of New Orleans, this time with a prospect of a speedy termination of tier long protracted battle in the courts. The in defatigable woman has proposed to the city coun cil to compromise her large claims ou the city, based on judgments against the innocent holders who have purchased from the corporation proper ty which the United States courts have decided belonging to Daniel Clark’s heirs. The New Or leans Times says it looks very much as if Mrs Gaines had the city in a coruer on this point, aud expresses a hope that a reasonable compromise in ay be effected.

The change in tho temperature of a room having both fire and sunshine, after the sun goes down, is exceeding marked. A perceptible chill is felt. A true religious sentiment never deprived man of a single joy.
