Iie does not consider the subject In connection with Gen, Grint; he does not seriously apprehend military usurpation or finperintism; he does not impugn the motives of any of those who are pushing tho third-term candidate to the front. ‘But he deprecates the needtess and reckicss snerifice of 9 strong National habit. Hendinits that cireumstances may arise In the life ofa nation when some one or more of the cherished traditions of the people should bo sacrificed to overcome national misfortune or avert national danger, buf. Insists that nothing short of such a contin: Bency can Justify the sacrifice without en- dangering the solidity and strength of the National institutions, ‘Iho growth of the American sentiment has been in fayor of a strict Mmitation.of Executive terms, Lite tenure has naturally been associated with hnperinlisin In'the minds of a free people, and it has always been feared ‘nccording!y: “If soma termination to the services of the Chief Magistrate bu not fixed by the Consti- tutlon, or supplied by practice,” satd Mr. Jefferson, “his ofice, nominally for years, will, {n fact, become for lite? This was an ac ceptance and approval of the position Wrsh- Ington had taken in declining 0 third terny ‘The precedent has had the force of law here- tofore, Indeed, of Inte years the senthnent in favor of Hitting the services of the Chief Magistrate has grown into n very gonernl belief that a one-term rule ought to be estab- Ushed. Both-Horace Greeley and President Hayes Inid grent stress in their campaigns upon the pledge that they would not be cnandl- dates for relection even for a second term, and there were xbundant evidences in both cases that the yoluntary remission of future Presidential nspirations, implying an ns- surance thatthe Administration shontd not be prostituted to personal Intrigues, found favor nt the hands of tho people. To the ex- tent that the popular sentiment has come to indorse the one-term rule the proposition for a third term isn grenter shock than it would have been ato time whon two terms were almost.implied by the first election, President Woolsey, of course, thoroughly understands the importance of national habit,—the force of unwritten Iaw. It fs this which makes up the Constitution of Enginnd. An English writer on this subject, following the ideas of Freemnn in his “Growth of the English Constitution,” says: “As might bo expected In a Hying organiam,' tho Constitu- tlon has not remained stationary during a perlotl of nearly: two conturies, but. its grentest changes have been . brought About not, by legisiniive enhetment. Whilst the legal code hng remained substantially unaltered, there hes grown up by Sts side «@ purely unwritten and conventional code, which, firmly established ‘isa part of the Constitution’ though stil! unknown to tho law, has so completely molified the practical working of the legal code ns to form a pres- ent Constitution which would be scarecly Tecognizable,- except in its fundamental principles, by the authors of the Bill of Rights.” The Queen of England would no more think of summarily dismissing “her Ministers nor even of vetoing nInw of Par- Mament now than sho would think of order- Ing GIndstono confined to the Tower of Lon- don; yet there Is nothing In the written law ot the Kingdom to prevent hor from exercis- ing these former prerogatives of the Crown, National habit .is the Constitution, tho supremo Inw, of the English Government. The comparatively recent date of the written Constitution of the United States, and tho practice of formally amending it from time to timo. by votes of the States, have to somo extent misdirected the popular npprehonsion of the force and sanctity of that unwsltten Inw, involving the axioms of liberty, which mustbe tho final malnstay of American Inatitutions, But tho imitation of the Executive’s terms, as de- termined, by Washington, observed by Mndi- son, Jefferson, Monroe, and Jnekson, and re- afiemed by resolutions in conventions of beth political parties, is, on the whole, the most conspicuous and tho most univorsally recog: nized principle of the unwritten Inw of this country.’ “To alter tho National habit as to athird term fora partleniar instance, unless in on extreme ensv,” anys Prealilent Woolsey, “would be an Injury to the stability of insti- tutions supported mainly by opinion,” All this goes to the single consideration of preserving © Natlonal precedent wich tho firat President of tho Republic thought wiso to establish, and which oll his successors thus far have considered binding upon them. ‘The force of this princtple cannot be dimin- ished by the personal strength of any cltl- zen who may be willlng to ylolnte the prece- dent; on thecontrary, great porsonalmugnet- iam or an excoptional claim upon the admiration of the people should oporate to increaso tho Importance of presorving tho precedent, for {t!s tn porsonal ambition and power and in popular adulation that the danger of prolonged Executive power oxtsts, ‘The Infraction of the rule In one case might not resultin any immediate injury to tho National {nstitutions; but, the precedent, the habit, the principté once lost, there would no longer be any National check against 0 sec- -ond or a third departure from the traditional practice which might bo fatal to tho Repub- le, President Woolsey’s argument Is a model upon which earnest, but dispassionate and impersonal, appeals will be mado ‘to tho Amvrican pooplo ot any tlma when the un- written law of the country shall be dofled in rogard to the limitation {t puts upon the Pros- Idential auecession, It miay-not now exert any influence upon .the politicians who are comnitted to the destintes of a third-tern: candidate, and who refuse to be diverted from the project which holds out to them a surcharge of power and patronago; but It will bo urged with telling force upon the pooplo whenever the third-term {sauo shall bo actually forced upon them, It will afford the opposing party a more offectlye weapon for attack and dofense than that party has had at any tuo since It bred secession and abetted rebellion, ‘fhe Republican party, whon It shall become sponsor for the project to break down onv of the éhief prineiples of the un- written law tn the absence of National dan- ger that demands the breach, will array against !¢ a more determfned realstanco among the Iinteljigent people who have al- ways acted with It than it hus ever before on- countered, ‘ —_—_—_——— Desyossz, the Belgian umpltre at Halifax, who so scandalously betrayed the interests of the United States and gave 85,500,000 to the British ring, {9 to be rewarde(l for hls yal- unble services, itscems, by, the presontation ofan elegant service’ of plate designed by ‘Tiffany.

The Cana- dans atone could well afford to give hima present far more valuable, ns 9 cominission of-5 per cont on tho award would amount to $274,000, But we do not understand why the United States Government should be called upon to reward Mr. Delfosse for perverting Juatico in favor of {ts opponents, ‘The per- formance fs of n pleco with the feeble policy of our State Department from the beginning to the end of this disgraceful transaction. It fs usual, it fs true, to offer some such com- pensntion to arbitrators who, when Mintsters of Foreign ‘Courts, ave debarred from ne- cepting any pay for their services. But when, as in this case, the trust reposed in the umpire jins been Magrantly misused, he might well be permi¥ed to look for his re- ward to the Government that Is indebted to him. A COWARDLY ASSAULT. The Inter-Occan mokes 9 dastardly assault Upon Senator Blaine, The assault conalsts of nmass of false assumptions to the effect that the campaign of Mr. Blaine fs being con- ducted: by Jay Gould, with the purpose of “eapturing the Presidency,” and “owning the Chief Executive.” And what is the basis upon which this malignant assault rests? Says the Grant organ: Thero havo been reports flying about for sov- eral weeks that improper. intlucnees wero being employed to rcouro the Northwestern States for Senator Wiaine. . 6's 8 Inter-Ocran {6 now compalted to state that the ovidonce upon this point is becoming very positive. It fa renson- ubly certain that Jay Gould, the prince of rall- way mono] atta end tha owner of tho Now York Tribune, i contributing not only his money, but using the vast patronage ut hfs dis- posal, to corto tho deepeice of every Wests orn State, Ho baa used It In Kansns, he Ye usin, it in Towa, and also In Illinois. Wo would willingly | bellevo that this fs dono withont Mr. Binine’s knowledge, or, at lenst, ‘without hia codporation; ’ but the ovidence is against him. His frequent visits and consultations with tho rallway king in New York have not passcd unnoticed, and the New York Trilnine’s violent cspousal of his cnuse indicates that thore 1a soncthing more thin mere personal enthusiasm inthosupporttendered. . . 6 Thi geonie of the West have renson to Mr ould and his gigantic monopoly with suse piston, oe ey will not consent that tho Chief Magistrnto of this Nation shall be i part= ner of the shrowd nulway king who puts tho rates of transportation up or down at his own sweat will, . . . Tho old ndmirers of Mr, Blnino were yery slow to credit such reports; and, though they have boon relterated tine and again, thoy havo not been given pi through tho press. + o.4 Itistimoe that these reports should be denied if théy are untrue, and the suspicious cireumstances which lave given rigo to thorn oxplnined. The charge that Mr. Gould Is secking to “eapture” tho Presidency for Mr. Blaine, and tho Insinuation that in tho cvent of the Inttery becoming Chief Executive he will bo “owned by Mr. Gonld, constitute a very grave imputation against the honor of onc of the most highly estecined Republicans in tho country. Upon what docs this imputation rest? Upon the allegation that it is “rea- sonably certain” that Jay Gould is using money “to capture the delegation of overy ‘Western State.” Thon follows tho positive assertion that “ho hasuscd It in Kansas, ho fs using {tin Iowa, and also in Illnols.? What ovidence can the J,-0. adduce in proof of this assertion? Does tho evidence consist of “reports flying about,” but which “have not beon glyon publicity through the press"? ‘Theso “flying”? reports will not*be credited until thoy are captured “on.the wing,” put into type, and given! “publicity through tha press.” With whom has Jay Gould ‘used money fn tho Interest of Mr, Blaine In Kan- sas, in Town, or in Ilinols? In 1876, at Cin- elnnati, Kansas gave its entire vote to Blutne,—not only on the first, but on the last ballot; Iowa did the same thing, and Ilinols. gave him 83 yotes out of 42 on the first ballot, and35 on the Inst ballot, There is nothing surprising in tho fact that Kansas has indl- ented her purpose to do !n 1880 just what she afd In 1870, and the snine Is true of Lowa, as also of Illinots. Butif the 1-0. can adduco proof of its assertion that Jay Gould fs using money to buy delegates for Blaine in Iowa or any othor State, the fret will efvuse tho gross chargu it profers; not otherwise, how- | ever. The insinuation that, in the event of ‘Mr, Blaino’s olection to tho Chief Mngistracy, he is to become the “partner” of anybody is too grossly outrageous not to be resénted with indignation by every fair-ininded citi- zen, ‘What evidence has the 7.-0. of Mr, Binine’s “frequent visits and consultations’? with Jay Gould? What ovidence has tho £.-0., beyond tho fnet of his presumed ownership of the Now York Tribune nowspapor, that Mr, Gould supports Mr. Blatne at all? But suppose he Is supporting Mr, Blaine, and aup- posing that support J3 regarded as dlscredit- able to the object of It? Itdaes not follow that Mr, Blaino should publicly denounce nud ropudlate it, Mr, Ex-Secretary Belknap supports Gen. Grant; Mr. Jacob Rehin, head of the Inte Whisky Ring of Chicago, sup- porta him; Gon, Choster A. Arthur, removed from tho Now York Custom-Ilouse for cause, supports him;. nenrly all ‘tho persons un- plengantly connected with the senndals of his Administration support him, But it fs not charged, nor would it bo just to charge, that this support reflects unfavorably upon tha personal cliaractor and honor of Gen, Grant, Tho F.-O, calls upon tho friends of Senntor Binine to “deny these reports.” Deny what? Deny “ reports flying about"! ‘They cannot bo denfed until they have beon “glyen pub- Uolty through the press.” Lot the enumies of Senator Biatne produce evidence in sup- port of tholr allegations before they demand dental, The assault of the £-0. upon Mr. Bialne, whom {t professes to respect and nd- mire, 1s both brutal and cowardly,—brutal, since the charge, If true, would rondor the ‘object of It forever Infamous, but which fs Inunched before tho public without the shadow of ovidenco in {ts support; coward ly, since it 1s coupled with a demand for n dental of reporta confesscdly tacking evan the poor authority of “ publicity through tho press. THE EFFECT OF HAD PRECEDENTS. ‘There Is nothing more evi) In politica than the establishment of n bad precedent or tho breaking down of a time-honored Inw.

Is this a situa- tion in which It fs safe for tho Ropublican narty to invite the direct opposition of tens of thousands of {ts own mombors, and to force tho union of all the varied clements of tho opposition? But if the Republican party shall trample upon tha custom which stops at the second term the use of the President's power to retlect himself, can any one ques- tion that the Democratic party, once in power, will. perpetuate Its possession of all branches of the Government by every means, and especially bythe use of precedents cata shed by the opposition ? ‘The election of a Nepublican President In 1880 must be by such a decisive majority, not only of the Electoral but also of tho popular voto, that there will bano room or pretext forn resort to any devices to defeat the Na- flonal will, In the face of the widesprend and general protest against tho violation of the National tradition that no man.shall bo olected a third thne to the Presidency, and that protest be- ing oxtensively made by Republicans and in the debatable States, Is [t wise to provoke an opposition to the Republican candidate which may not only result in giving possession of the Government to the Democratic party, but doing so under circumstances which will give that party s precedent for perpetuating itself In office permanent! oy Gtucosr Is a more or 1ess valuable product made of corn, and bearing about tho samo reln- tion to sugar that oleoninrgaring docs to butter.
