OPINIONS OF THE ILLINOIS CONGRESSMEN, From Our Own Correspondent, Wasmtnaroy, D. C., Jan, 28,—Within the last two days Lave had conyersations with all the Republican Representatives {n Con- gress from Ilnols on the subject of the Pres- {deney, Thore are twelve Illinols Republic ans inthe House. Five members of tho dele- gatlon did not scrye in any previous Con- gress, Four are now serving a second teri. ‘Mr, Henderson has been In three Congresses, and Messrs. Cannon and Fortin four. Nearly every member had been In public office be- furo coming to Congress, Tho delegation Is, therefore, not without experience in polltical affairs; and itisattho same time so fresh from tho people that the opinions of those who compose lt in regard to the sentiments of the Republican party in Illnols are valua- bie. The private preferences of tho delegation may bo roughly indicated thus; FIRST CHOICE, Arant ...sse00 14 Washburne on oe essed With Grant out of the way, the delegation would be unanimously for Mr. Washburne, if he should be a candidate, and noxt to him, with three exceptions, for Blaine. Sherman would probably be the last cholce of the Illt- nuls delegatton, though all the members spoke of him with respect, and some thought ho would develop an unlooked-for strength in the State, ‘THE FEELING ABOUT GRANT. Though threo members are persorally op- posed to the nomination of Gen. Grant, all beileve that, if he should continuo to bea candidate, and should go Into the Convention with appropriate support, the whole Ilinols delegation at Chicago would be for hin. Many speak of him as“the strong man,” and say much will depend upon tho polltieal situation when the nomination is mude. If the untlook should be stormy, and tho Maine fraud continue, so that there 1s apprehension of double returns from that State; or if the South should give more troubles or if, with- out further developments, New York and Pennsylvania should be for him, his nomina- tlon would be well-nigh assured, ‘Two mei- bers doubted whethor Grant could earry thelr districts if nominated, Wut all believed he would have & big majority In the State at large, One was opposed to the third term on principle, and to Gen. Grant’s political eareer n particular, Several sald that the Germans In their districts were hostile to Grant, and probably would not vote for limi under any efreumstanees, A number doubted whether Grant could carry the German vote in Olio or Wisconsin, or bo sure of either of those States tn the election, or bo able. to place any dependence on Connecticut, New Jersey, New Humpshire, and Maine, One member thought, from his observations at home dur- ing the hollday recess, that the Grant move- ment had grown sensibly weaker since the meeting of Congress. Anothor said thnt the suber second thought of the people would put cy stop to the “boom” before the Conven- ion met, Several spoke of Grant a3, under some con- tingencies, “a potitical heecsal Ono incinber sald that Grant was spectulty strong in the ruraldlstricts; that the city folk didn’t, appreciate the aifection of the former for him; and that he would carry the agricult- ural districts with case. On the whole, the strongest points made in lis favor were lis known courage and decision of character, and the prospect of trouble In making the count, Ono member said: “I do finnly believe that, if thero is tho slightest osslble chance of counting fn o Democratic President, the partisan majority In Congress Will tot stick at anything to accomplisit its purpose, Maine will then have two sets of returns. Orthand Washburn will be thrown out, and the vote by States will thus bo made Democratic? Apropros of the settled purpose of the Democrats to carry the election by violence and fraud, if necessary, a story Is told of Do @ Mntyr, tho Greenback member from In- lana. “Iie fs not a lawyer, but the othor day be had 9 huge volume of the Maine statutes: on iis desk, and groped his way painfull: through the election Inws.

Muny of the members do not know fr. Washburne personally, and some have never even seen hhn; but, without excep- {ion, all spoke of him = with tokens of the grentest respect and adiniration, ‘The unt- versal opinion was that he would, if noml- nated, make nn exceedingly strong candidates and that he would have an excellent chances for the nonination if hoe could secure the Iilinots delegation to the Convention, One member said: It seems to ine Mr. Wasti- burne is fatrly entitled to tho support or Iiinols tn the Convention, He hns been a reafdent of the State for many years and has brought only honor upon it’ As a member of Congress he was known throughout the country for hiss grent industry, iueessant wwatoh fulness, and untlinching Integrity, As Minister to France he reflected honor upon the whole country, ag he had previously upon hisown State. Mr. Washburne’s character Is unassailable; hy has had long experience {1 publie uffatrs; he has no personal enenifes among the other candldates for tho place would | x Nngand New York; he would run well In New England; and he woutd bethe only man in the country who could unite the followers of Gen, Grant and those of Carl Schurz. Tt fy understood that Mr, Washburne will wider no clreumstances be nv candidate against Gen. Grant; but if the General with- draws, many leading Republicans here think that Washburne would be bis natural polit feal peer, Among Illnoisans it is felt that it would be wrong to tender the State yote to an outsider, who woult look upon Tlinols Ag UPON one out of many States that had helped him to the Presidency; while MM Washburne, if elected, would owe ever: thing to Ifnols, and would) guard her in teresta with special golleitude, “Why should UUnols go out of lier own borders for a Presidential, candidate,” sald one Con- ressman, “so long as Elihu 3, Washburne ves, and, In the prime of ilfe, is retlred from the public service?” “It’s foolish to sty port even go good a manas Mr. Blaine,” sald one, “when we have p far stroller enncd+ date In our own State.” ‘The opinion pre- yails everywhere here, among men of both purtics, that Washburne, If nomiunted, would carry tho country with the utniost ease, LOGAN, ead The only bar to Washbure’s Presldentin! prospects supposing Gen, Grant to be ont of the way, is the consuming ambition of John A. Logan, ‘Though Mr, Logan's power has. been partly broken by lily defeut tn the Mer- rinm case, and thouglrsome of our Congress- men hate and nearly all distrust Iitin, it is thought that he would have power enough In Iinols to prevent the choice of 0 full Was! Durne delegation to the Chicago Conven- tlon, and that he would — mereilesly use sich power as he imight possess to. this end. He will not, if he ean — help glve the people of Illinois a chanee to show that they think more highly of another man than of himself, “Logan is very val and very ambitlous,” said a Congressman. “He would see notlh- ing wildly absurd or grotes..ae In, haying the Uifuols delegation vote for himself. He will try to have the delegation instructed for him as seeond cholee after Grant.” One member—n Logan man—seriously asserted that Logan was tho strongest Republican in the West, though he believed Washburne probably had more strength, evenly dls- tributed throughout the whole country. It is perfectly: understood here that. Logan will do nig utmost to prevent the chalee of a iull Washburne delegation from Lllnols; and this ig tho souree, nid the only source, of Washburne’s weakness. If tho people of the State are cnough interested In the matter to rebel ngainst Logan and break up is mu chinc-nade slate, the next President will al most certainly be from Ilinols, and his unme will be Grant or Washburne, RW P THIRD TERM IN PENNSYL- 2 VANTIA, AN OPINION THAT GRANT WILT DECLINE 3 TO BE A CANDIDATE, Cincinnatt Commerctat, Jan. 2. Thore have been many rumors and much discussion about the position of : the friends of Gen. Grant In Pennsylvania touching the polttical situation in that State, Those friends may bo divided Into two classes, First, personal friends, who are of opinion that the happiness and fame of Gen, Grant would bu better secured If he kept ont of politics, Second, politicians who would be glad to make the General useful to thom- selves, and contend, as they have been in tho habit of doing, that the people demand him aud tho country cannot get along without Lim. ‘The closest personal friends of Grant, who fre in correspondence with him, and are sup- posed to bo intimately acquainted with hits views, have held constantly that he could not afford to make arace for the Republican nomi- nation,—though he might run if nominated with substantial unanimity. Cho politicians who would uso Grant hove no sensitivencas ofthissort. “hey would rush him into the contest and push him forward regardless of consequences.

THE STRENATIC AND WEAKNESS OF ‘THR v i ON, Spectat to New York Times, Wasninaton, Jan, 27.—Influeneed, per- haps, by 9 dearth of more exciting toples, tho political world of Washington during the past three or four days has begin to tuken Brent deal of interest in the approaching political campaign, and on all sides there fs much discussion as to the probable result of the coming National Conventions. It 1s hn- vossible to concual the fact that, regarded from this standpoint, ‘the situation seks to be controlled by John Sherman, ‘That wily political imanivulator, relying priuctpally upon the rotton boroughs of tho South for support, and hoping by adrolt wlre-pulling in the West and in the Enstern States to gain many delegates, Is assured, {f not of a nomination, at least of very great strength In the Republican convention, While this ts tho ense, ibis none the less a fact that there are a greatmany prominent Republicans who: might, under othor cireumstances, asibtorb Sherman, but who, because of the reckless fashion in which tie has used lis position to further his personal ends, are now bitterly IN! who are personally friendly to Sherman, but who are opposed to his underhand politlenl manipulation, a determination to push Gen.

Total, SENATOR HOWE’S THIRD-TERM ARTICLE. To the Editor of The Cheago Tribune, Cnricaay, Jan, 80.—In' the somewhat vig- orous article of ex-Senator Howe on “The Third Term” in the North Amertean Ie- view for February, he clals to find in the proceedings of the Federal Convention of 1787, and of the several State Conventions when the Constitution was before them for ratification, 1 remarkable unanimity of sentl- ment for the retligibility of Presidents. His Investigations on this subject Iead him to characterize the Springer resolutions tn re- gard to Presidents retiring at the end of thelr second term, which the Mouse passed Vee. 15, 1875, a3 “a grave Impeachment of the Federal Constitution, gross libel on its framers, n base counterfeit of our political history, and a wanton insult te our common sense.’? If Mr, Howe set out toprove that the mem- bers of the Federal and State Conventions Intended to permit the Chief Executive to be tetligible to that ollicg, his extended argu- mentis seurcely necessary, ns the Constitn- tion they presented and adopted plainly al- lows It, and takes the point at once outof the field of discussion, but leaves the question at the head of his artiele—“The Third Term "—still unsolyed, While he refers at length to the records, debates, and votes of the Federal and State Conventions on the subjectof “retligibility,” 1tls quite apparent from his reasoning and conclusion that he likes “rettigibility” much, but “thé third term’? vastly more, and that the Intter is really what. ho wishes to prove. But as, unhappily, ho could not find the utter: phrases once nientloned. in all the records of = thoso days, he was restricted In his Inquiries as to what tho framers of the Constitation and. the States did and sald on the subject of retilgi- billty. On this point he has collated ma interesting matter, and seems to have sutis- fled hinsele that, by establishing the one, he has proven the other, iv finds but two members of the Conven- Hon who opposed reeligibility,—Mr. Mel thon Sinit! I of New York, and Mr. George Mason, of Virgliia,—and In this small oppo- sition rests the strength of his argument, It should be observed that these two were opposed to “retlighbility’? at all; but there was a large umber who desired to place opposed to him. ‘Che truth is that Mr, Sher-.| some Hinitation on tho term or ternis of office, man has worked too hard,. He was tot con- tentto “go stow,” ‘and in atenptlng to Ko fast he has laid bare his machinery and given. Hl the world an opportunity to see his hand, Day after day the cyidence aecumulates that for weeks pnst he lias been, and that he Is now, using every Infuence which belongs to him as pead of a great Government Department to secure for himself politleal Influence, snd so make hineelf the standard-bearer of tha Republican party in the | coming — canvass, these statements should be questloned, it ean be shown at a moment's noticethatSecretary Sherman has, within the past month, dellb- erately made offer, tu at Jeust two persons, of prominent positions unter him if they would In return agres to secure for_hiin delegates to the Chiengo Convention, Such efforts 1g he has been making in the direction Indicated it ls hot poseible to conceal from the public, and while there are a number of prominent men in the Bepublican party here, as elie where, who admire tho fashion in which Mr, Sherman has conducted the business of Its Department litherto, and who have, up to this time, supported filut warmly in all.his financial operations, still it enniiot be denied that many of these gentlemen, because of tho Intrigue for power, in which he is now obviously engaged, will refuses to_lond him their Influence to secure tho Presidential prize. In short, work as Mr. Sherman will, hy must inthe end, by very reason of tho “methods which he cinploys, defeat himself, ‘There ig hardly .a well-informed politician here who belleves that he can succeed in making himavif the nominee of the National Republican party, While this is true, it 1s none the less freely adinitted in the Capital that tho enthusiastle movement in favor of the renomination of Gen, Grant has, during the past week or two, been decidedly on the wane, For this falling olf in tho support of that movement a nun ber of causes are ascribed, On the ono hand, {t is stated that the somewhat extravagant ovations which were tendered to Gen, Grant, upon iis arrival in this country, particularly: In Pilladetphia, did) much ta ullenate from Kim tho more shuple-minded and unostenta: tlous people of the Republic, Again, it 1s held. by a large number of thinking people that to give a third Presidential term to any man Js toatriko a blow at the most sacred Institutions of this Republican Government. Those arguments have doubtless lind thelr effect in decrensing the enthuslusm in favor of the distinguished ox-Presitent, There is another enuse, however, which has still moro largely contributed to that result, I refer to" the avowed determina- tlon of German Republicans tn all parts of the country to refuse to support Grant in the event of hiy nomination. It ly ng tseless ns it Is Imposslbly to deny the fact that the refusal, comlug, as it oes, specifically and wnequlyo- cally, trom the representative and prominent Germans of Ohio, Wiseonstn, and to a certaln extent of New York, have ile thoughtful friends of the organization halt {n the move- ment which at ons tne promised to make Gen, Grant, without question, the nomines of his party, Despite every opposition, however, there ig stlll a reasonable aasurines that he could ultiiately, If he desired to make the contest, triumphant at Chicago. His closest friends, and those who are most «ls- intorested, say that he will not make that contest. If he does not, he entnot be nomi. nated, for itis now reasonably well assured that the other candidates will have such strength Inthe Convention thatno man can bo namtnated on the first ballot, This pelins the case, many of the most far- sigtited polldching In the Senate ant Mouse of Representatlyes are begining to east about for some inn not yet prominently mentioned who night serve us 9 populir and compromise candidate for tho Presidency, Assucha candidate, Blalne, of course, eau- not be regurded. de recent Indications t Pennsylyanin are to bo trusted, he must be placed at least upon nu equal footing and bo given at least equal prominence with Gen, drant and Sherman, ‘The compromise name most prominently, inentloned fs that of 1, 13, Washburne, of Ullnvols. ir, Washburne may, without the sil t departure tram the truth, be termed the nd choles of the mnoxt, bropuurtead Gr element, dt ds, Ine decd, belleved that he is the fayorlt’ of Gen, Grant himself, dn bis favor itis urged that the Germans, because of his services to Bie marek and his Admfnlstration during the Trunco-German war, would give him enthusfastic and undivided snpport, and thereby secure for Hint beyond doubt. the Electoral votes of Ohio, and, In all probablli- ty, of Indian also, On the othor hand, there as recently sprung up in Washington, among thosy who oppose Grant, not persons and to these Mr. owe makes no reference, It is manifest that, In order to form a tale judgment of the opinions and conduct of the makers of the Constitution, the whole case must be taken, In the address of Luther Martin to the Maryland Convention, and in tho letter of Gov. Randolph to the Virginia Tonse of Delegites, may bo fomnd the sentl- wents of these members of the Federal Con- Stilution on this subject.
