Scientfio Shoemakers. : : There are certain men in that respect- , able body of artisans called shoemakers" who give evidence of brains. I There is no department of manufactures within the line of costumes for men and J women which demands moro intellect, ) more head work, than to produce a properly made shoe. To fit a shoe prop1 erly to each individual who desires an easy, well-shaped, and durable foot covering is the work of study; but to merely ! and attach a sole to them, is within the j capability of any man or boy Of ordinary mechanical skill after half an hour's study. The scientific 1 shoemaker (and i there are such) is prized by all bis patrons, who yet themselves do not half the time appreciate the thought which he brings to bear upon his work; but who realize one grand- fact his shoes or : boots always keep their shape, tread f squarely, neither wearing Out the inside lor the- outside of the sole, and, whatl I jg Df equal,' and perhaps of more consef . , ' , . r : duence, last twice a3 long - as those obI taincd from other t cost.': ' ;r:l-v. parties at the - same How i3 this? You go to the shoemanpon scientific princii ker who makes pies, and he docs not merely measure t the length and thickness of your .foot, t the height of the instep, the 'width orer the toe joints, the number of inches from the extreme point of the heel to the center of the curve where the foot ceases and the leg commences; he does not, after getting these, . take the ? first "last": he gets his hand upon of the right length, patching here and patching there, and make up of sundry patches of leather about your, shape,, and. then go to workand last upon that and ; expect to give you a fit; : he does more, than that. The scientific shoemaker studies the. a1 natomy of your foot. He sees how you step; He knows ; if -your foot needs a straight or a slightly crooked last. He ascertains whether you .turn your . feet out at about rig ht angles, - like a ballet dancer on the stage, or whether you step Jike old. Leathers tocking, the 7 Indian chief, your feet turned - inward; . or like old Johh Randolph, on - a straight line with your nose, neither inward nor outward. ; The scientific shoemaker discovers all these points, and, without making any; observations,. quietly takes his notes and .turns outabaot that treads in the center, though all those you had previously worn had trodden on the out side, marring the beauty of their original shape and wearing out in half the time. -, , How often have you heard a friend say, "Jones can make -a boot, sir, that fits like a glove; never gives me pai.i; is., easy J while ' apparently too small; and; more than that, wears' double the time of any : I have : purchase I else -where." Do you understand why? Jones studies the anatomy of the foot and makes a covering to fit' it. Two gentlemen may wear "sevens;" the feet of each gentleman may measure precisely alike in every resp:ct. When the boots are tried on the feet, in both cases appear the satne.s They wear the boots thirty days; one pair is ' screwed over on sole and heel; the other pair have trodden 1 exactly in tbe center and have as perfect a shape as when first drawn on. Jones i never made, those boots. " .The maker was no artist; he did not .work . upon a principle; if he had, the result would have been alike. The fault was in tbe a - , '.' .. . boots, or rather m the. making of the '"" boots. Both pairs, should hare trodden in the "center, and would have done so if 7, properly fitted to the foot. One pair " liannpnprl tn fit. the other hannennd nth- . -i.i.i.. ..; ;i .'-.i : ... t . - ,'..- , t-. ;:? r." 1-1 ,---J-r5- -i.-(t i Sow, no .man woman or child who-is not a cripple ever treads, more on tbe outside of the boot .than on the inside. The fault is in the sole of the shoe or boot,' which the shoemaker has' not properly placed beneath the- foot. It is either loo much "right and leftjf'cr too little; and bad toe maker of the hoe .beii an artist (as all shoemakers ho iateu ! to make good shoes ought to bo) there" would have been no sucb results. r,; ' '

One can find in all large cities with a little trouble, shoemakers with brains, who work upon principle,' who use their intellect. know scores of 'such; but, we'are obliged to acknowledge that wq kaow luinrlredsf who havo ne'yer car rie'i' ' any real "brains .Into the profession. f?ii?'r men would da to work by ihe. ml3 or pio scale; purely mechanical Kut'.we" v-ou'ld as soon expect to see iiterstavlt, the renowned'jainter;' 'measuriug by compass and foot-rule'. the. perspective of his landscapes, orBsiBonj hear, mapping out her cattle and norse scenes ,at so many inches""per a'Aimal, as a good shoemaker resting satisfied With his preliminaries for a perfectly. fitting,' easily-worn, and durable " foot or shoe, with merely getting the latitude 1 and longitude of a pair of feet. The' tread of the sutvject is studied. '1 The 'peculiar method and manner of planting the foot upon the earth is ascertained by the bid and ill-fitting shoe or boot, and the man of science corrects and ' perfects. Of late years all first class boot - and shoe makers have plaster casts taken " of the feet of their customers, and then a last made to perfectly harmonize in all particulars with' this 'cast, such men are sure to turn out good work, aud these artists give character to the profession. Thought, mind, the necessity of studying anatomy, led to the idea of the plaster cast, and since this step we have heard much less of corns and bunions, and much less of tight boots and the agony resulting when worn at an evening party where one is expected to trip the light fantastic toe with thermometer at eighty degrees ' Who of us in times of old," before the man of science was found in the ranks of the shoemaker, has not suffered? : If, however, we suffer to-day, it is oar own fault, for shoemaking has advanced, and brains are as necessary here as in any ' other line of trade in the- wide world.

Address of the Committee from the Colored Men's Convention, and General Grant's Reply, r.l .-j ;i -soil . . : On the '9th inst , at Washington, a Committee of the Colored Men's National Convention, recently in session in that city, called upon General Grant by appointment.

Permit us, General, to express, in this connection, ; our, confidence in your ability and determination to so execute the laws airca;ly enacted by our National Conjrre-ss as tn conserve and protect the life, the liberty, and the rights, no less of the humblest subject of the Government than those of th most exalted and influential. . Called as you are to fill the Chair of State, your dnties will be arduous and trying, and (especially since in this reconstruction period of the government, removing the rub biah, the accretions of the now dead slaveholding oligarchy), you wilt administer the government according to the principles of morals and law announced by the fathers. In advance ' we bring to you. General, as a pledge of our devotion to our common country, and Government, the liveliest sympathy of the colored people of the nation, and in their nam? we express the hope :. that all things connected with the administration of the Government upon which you are so soon to enter as our Chief Magistrate, may le, tinders Providence, . so ordered for the maintenance of law and the conservation of: freedom; that your name written igh on the scroll of honor and fame may go down to j posterity glorious and immortal -associated with the names of your illustrious predecessors in the great chair of StateWashington and Lincoln.

V j.i aensiorai vuaicsi. Both Houses"5 met in-joint conven tion, at noon yesterday, and J took two ballots for Senator without any ; change from the day. previous. .They then adjourned and - met ' again at three o'clock when three' more ballots' Were had.' On the. second . ballot ; all of , the democrats, with four exceptions, voted' for Hughes. "The vote on this and the next" ballots " stood Cuuiback '66, Hughe3 53,. Hendricks 4., Frazier r 18. After both Houses adjourned a ; caucus of those who supported Lt. Governor Cumback was held, V, bat' no determination was arrived at. A second caucus held after night,! when - Mr. Cumback made a brief speech in which be. thank-; fed the gentlemen who had stood by him for their support, and said that he; desired the harmoay . of the , Republican party above all things, ,-and in order to secure a cordial co-operation among the members of the Republican ; party, . he placed his withdrawal from the Senatorial coatest, in : the hands of his friends for such disposition as they saw fit. j which, after some discussion, it wa3 de- ! cided to . accept. The caucus then adr journed to meet at eight ; o'clock this morning, when it is to be ;hoped there will be a full attendance, and , that tbe proceedings will be characterized by tbat spirit of harmony and good feeling ; that shouli exist between the , representatives of a great political party. It will do no good now, to cherish unkind feelings toward any of the -paities who have been involved iu this unfortunate difficulty. Let all counsel forbearance moderation and work together once more for the public goodj upon and which depends the future i glory.- and prosperity of our common country. The conduct of Lieutenant Governor Cumback, in withdrawing from the contest in the face of the protests of many of his friends, after having been - fairly I nominated,' 1 in order to preserve ' the harmony and unity of the: Republican party, is worthy of and will receive the cordial approbation of every true Repub-. lican in the State. J . f His magnainmity in this matter will draw about him many new friends, and cause those who have 'stood by. hltfl;so manfully through ; thisexciting contest, to adhere more closely to his political lortunes in tne iuture. journal, 22nd. ; -:' ;! '--;,'i-ri Jan. -. r .. , From Harper's Weekly. The Will of ths People. ' ? - .The- triumphant- election of General Grant is not only the r ratification, but it is a final interpretation of the war. From the moment that General Lee surrendered to General Grant iu the field, there has been a loud debate', as : to , the .real significance of the war, , and ..what ,-was actually settled by it. . The Democratic theory was that nothing had happened but a riot, duing which slavery had ceased to exist in the old form. s.The. President's theory was partly this, aud partly something else which wa3 not very intel ligible. He declared that the States were suspended, ljing in a kind of polit ical catalepsy, from which he proposed to awaken them .by assuming; absolute power, which he did in his North Car.-)-lina proclamation.': This was, of course, a hopeless confusion, and gradually the President has disappeared in the Demo cratic embrace. The Republican party have contended that with slavery fell everything that sprang from 'slavery, and they have insisted that not only justice and honor, but reason and common sense, indicated equal suffrage in the re covered. States as the only security of order and of the restoration of a normal situation under a free popular govern ,ment. ... . . : , The election was joined opon the issue. '"' The Southern leaders returned to t the Convention at Tammany Hall, and i took their old places at the head of the ' party. .They repudiated everything in the Republican policy of Reconstruction, declared for the national dishonor, and ; ; nominated candidates that pleised them. The consequence was that there has f been "tfb obscurity as to the real point of ; the canvass.; ' Shall the :s general Con gressional policy of reconstruction be sustained or abandoned? was the qaes I tion. Are, the people ' of the . United States resolved that they will reconstruct the Union upon principles agreeable tc j them, or do they prefer that the late rebe s shall reconstruct it as 'hey prefer? Are the people afraid of negro suprsraacy, or do they believe with Gen- Longstreet, and with the testimony of all experience, that the cry of negro supremacy is the mere cat.calllof a' canvass? Do they think that they cannot constitutionally say a word upon the subject of reconstruction, or is their authority, under the'eircumstances, supreme? ; Have they learried that the Democratic " cry of "nigger," which has been "sounding for a generation, is merely ' a "noise to con' fuse the public mind that it may not .see that ignorance and injustice of every kind mean endless ' agitation? Is ' the North resolved that its idea" shall govern the country as the idea of the South has governed it for many a dreary year? These were the questions," J simple, sharp, clear, .and, the answer is tremenduous. A futile effort., was made to obscure the real point, and to .fix tha public attention .upon . financial questions, but every man instinctively kiiew that the political interest necessarily takes precedence at such a time as this of t-e financial. When a great party, has fa

Yet they have one hope, and it is in the ignorance of their followers. " The Southern chiefs are the men of conviction and of purpose in the party; and such men, as ex? perience has shown in, the history of all parties, are very powerful. , Hopeless of reversing" the accomplished action"- of Congress,' the wisest of these will now endeavor to influence the vote ; which they could not destroy; while the moro stupid will continue to thwart and delay a work which they csnnot prevent. - But th e d uty o f Congress '"is cl ear. a The country- has amply -sustained a' policy which secures equal rights, and which forbids all kind ef , evasion and. special pleading. ; The country means fair play .to white "and ; black ; In," the .
