Proper ¢mn- phasis was given to the fact that heretoforo the City of Chicago has borne all the exponse of drodglng tho river, while Congress bas frequent- ly made appropriations for similar work in rivera of far leas consequence commercially than (s the Chicago Hiver. Certainly the appro- priation asked by the Chicago Heprosontatives is not Iarge considering tho importance of this harbor to tho yust comunerce of the grout lakes, Mverrado is made fn gland at the de- feat of the Parnellite candidate In Cork County. When it {a remombered thot the Conservatives, Liberals, landlords, and plice-huntors voted for tho moderato Hoie-Ruler; that the entire Ine fluence of the Catholic clergy was exerted in his bohatf, to such an extent that the defeated candidate haa determined to lodge a petition against the return on the ground of undue clerical {utlucnee,—it will not be at all surprising that tho Purnelitto candidate, who ts not n rich man, and who wag # @trunger to tho constitu. oney, was defeated by only 150 votes out of n total of 7,000, And this, too, was the only defeat which the Parnellite candidates met during the entire campalgn, ‘The clerical purty have only one incagre victory to compensate them for a succeasion of overwhulming defeats, DEFENDING THE THIRD-TERM PRINOI- ‘The speakers at the Grant meeting held In this elty on ‘Thursday evening seemed to agree that it !s necessary to recognize theop- position to the third-term movement, At all events theymade conspleuons reference to it, and, though thelr tone was more or less contemptuous, thoy acknowledged that thls opposition cannot safely be ignored, and they sought to wenken Its force, It is cer- tainly timo that those who are working actively for Gen, Grant's nomination should formulate their arguments in defense of tho third-term priuciple. . If Gen, Grantls te be nominated, and If it be desirable to secure the nnited and enthusiastic support of all Kepublicaus, and to draw from the strength which the Domocrnts have shown of late yenrs, then it Is prluarily Important that the so-called *“prejudice” agninst a thiyd term should be removed, If the pur pose of nominating: Gen. Grant {3 to elect « Republican President this year, then tho men ‘who- are engaged in this movement should be propared with convincing arguments to meet and overconie the objections to a third term, which will be , urged with atl the force that Democratic in- genulty cun command, It was wise, there- fore, In Messrs, Logan; Storrs, and Sywett to look the Issue squarely In tha face:and de- fend now what they will be compelled to de fend if Gen, Grant shall be the. Republican candidate, For thosaime rengon dt ls prudent to analyze their line of defense and to estl- uinte its probable effect, - ‘ en, LOBAA sald that this country is not governed by any “inwrilten law,” but by a Constitution whieh contains no prohibition agninsta third term, It needed no ghost come back to earth to tell us that. ‘The people who are opposed ton thiid terin know, and have known all along, what Gen. Logan declaimedasn great novelty, Hence the recall- ingof thismerematterof fact willnotallaythe prejudice against n third tenn, {€ it be prejudice, nor break down the gopular np prehension that there is danger In departing from the precedent that lins govorned pre- vious Presidents, Nor {s it suficlent for Gen. Logan to say that {tis as unreasonable “to deny the people's right’ to elect a man for a third term as it would be to deny them the right to elect him for n firator a second term, Nobody denicsthe right of a majority of the American people to choose Gen, Grant fornthird term. But thatis not the gues: tlon. ‘The question fs, whether or not 0 ma jority of the people desire to exercise this undisputed right. If there are Republicans who belleve that itis not wise nor prudent for the American people to break In upon the precedent against 1 third term, and thelr number Is large enough to prevent the clec- tion of Gen, Urant by 2 party vote, then the third-term movement is {nexpedient, and the mere question of “right” cuts no flgure fn the case. If the opposition to the third- term principle shall ‘allennte, votes. that might otherwise be guined fromthe Demo- crats; If it shall strengthen the candidate running against the Republican nominee; If itshall sorva to reconcile large mimbers of voters to the Democratic cause who would otherwise avoid it; if it shall put an effective weapon In the handsof the enemy,--then pru- dence suggests that this new element of con- tention shall be avoided if possible. Hence the line of argument adopted by Gen, Logan Wil not avail for campaign purposes, ‘The right of the people to elect any man fora third, fourth, or fifth term !s undisputed, It is for the Republican leaders to determine by candid and deliberate Investigation whether or not a majority of the people are disposed to elect Gen, Grant for a third term atthe present time and under existing conditions, ‘There was one signiticant expression used by Gen. Logan. Ile contended, and very properly, that the right of the people to choose any man President for n third term “df agreat emergency shall arise” must be vindlented. ‘Chat states one ot the main points in issue. Gen, Grant himself has ex- plilcltly recognized the clement of ‘“emer- gency” in the third-term question, When the Republican State Convention of Pennsylvania in 1876 passed a resolution declaring the party to be “unniternbly op- posed. to tho election to the Presidency of any person for a third term,” Gen. Grant wrote a letter to Gen. Harry White, the Chairman of that Convention, in which hede- elored he would not accept 4 nomination if it were tendered, “trtege it should come under such cireumstanecs aa to make tt an tinper- ative duty—elreumstanees not likely to arise.” Ile reiterated substantially tho same sentiment in conversations with John Rus- sell Young during his trip sround the world, which Young has sluice published, Presktent Woolsey, in his recent letter on the force of National habit as applied to the third term, recognize posstble exigencies in which tho precedent mightsafoly be ignored. All agree that a great National emergency may arise which would Justify the election of a citizen ag President fora third term. If Gen. Grant be -noininated, tho question will come up. whether or not such an emergency now exists, Tho Republicans will afirin, the Democrats will deny, Will Gen, Logan then be able to demonstrate to the satisfac- tJon of the people that there js In thiscountry, at tho present tine, any emergency which makes it “an inperativo duty” for Gen. Grant to be a candidate, and to which no other eltizen would be equal? Messrs, Storrs «ul Swett were more fellett- ous in answerlng tho third-term objections than Gen, Logan was, for they reverted at once to th fact that Gen. Grant lias been out of office fur four years, and that the Interreg- num hns broken the force of the precedent, Mr, Storrs wetkened his argument when he characterized the opposition ton third term in any case as “na hysterical snd sentimental objection,’ for he thereby showed that he would tidiewle It under suy cireumstances, and it fy certainly not a matter for ridfcule. Mr. Swett also erred when he declared that the only princtple {nvolved in the opposition ton third term is that “a Presilent shall not, by his enormous patronage, perpetuate his power,” and that hence un interregnum ts a completo answer to the objection, The antl-third-term sentiment rests upon stronger ground than this, as will be sufltelently set forth If the issue shall come before the peo- ple, Both gentlemen were right, however, in poluting to the Interregnuin ng the best ayallable answer to the objection that a Na- tlonal precedent will be broken by the vlec- thon of Gen, Grant. It should be determined in the interest of. the Ropubllean party how far this answer will serve to remove or soften the hostility tonthird term before the de- fense thereof shall by assumed, Whatever the decision of the Chicago Con- yentton may be, it fs well that the activo workers. for the nomination of Gen, Grant have nt fast aduitted the bearingof the third- term question, and the welfare of the party demands that both Gen. Grant and his ad- herents should from this thne on glve due consideratlon, not merely totheinherent force of the third-term objections, but to the ability of tho Republlean speakers and newspapers to overcome . the opposition toa third term, whether It be based on principle or on prejus dice. S0ME FRUITS oF THE LIBERAL VI0- ‘ORY. The London Spectator, the ablest of the Liberal organs, and the one which mado the strongest tight agninst the Torles In tho re-. cent election, whily conceding that the conse- quences of that victory muy not be Just what Liberals expect, nevertheless points oubsomo vonsequences that will Inevitably ensue, and that will affect, not only England, but a Jnrge part of Europe, and these consequences now appear In still stronger light since, pend- ing the result of the oluetion, there lias been a lull tn the contiict of Eugopenn politics, 08 {f all concerned were walting tho declaton of & momentous Issua that must powerfully in- fluence tholr pollefes, . In looklug over tha field, the Spectator ,| V! finds that three great results have been achioved and enn be consitered certain, Tha first of these Is the defeat and displacement of Lord Beaconsfield, and with it the add tlonal compensation that hla great age ren- ders it altogether unlikely that he can over be returned to power, ls dramatic career is ended, and the curtain is rung down upon the Inst act, and for all practl- cul purposes It would not be out of keeping for him to advertise for sale to the highest biddor all the costumes, properties, and parn- phernully of lis‘ great Orlental show, with whieh he has so Jong beduzzled and befogged the English people, enchanted the English sovereign, and captivated the English arls- tocracy, Whatever else’ may happen, ft Is certaln that the policies of the new Govern: ment will be derived from actual Ife, from actual contact with other Governments, and frou the pressure of exlatlng elrcunstances, aud not from the Oriental -pageantries and dreamy vatlcluatlous of tho Tanoreds, and Lothalrs, and Viylan (ireys whom he. has taken from his novels and invested with the Power to dictate pylicy, - Zt Is alsa safo to as- siine that under the now régime thera will be less of tho dazzle and pageantry of tmperlal- ism, and more of the plaluness, biuntness, and honesty of republicanism; that monarch- {eal nations will be displeased with tho result, of this election, and that nations which ary republican in tendency will refotce, The second consequence of this election, as Indiented by. the Spectator, is the over- throw of perronal government, and on this polnt Itgays whatwill be new to many: “Lord BeaconMeld has undoubtedly used the rev- erence felt for the sovereign, his ascendeney in his own Cabinet, and his hold over his own party, to establish a form of personal government, to concentrate the guidance of policy in his own hands, to keep grave facts from the knowledge of Parliament, and to govern through a minute Inner Committee of which ho was the soul” And to carry on such a personal government it aceuses him of concealing his mensures from the country and even from the Ministers, of arranging “measures Ike nssasinations and military inovements like conspiracies,” and of mak- ing double-cdged speeches that had the effect of falschoorts, It matters little who Is called to tho head of the Government under the Liberal régime—whethor Mr. Glad- stono ore Lord Martington—such on personal power. cannot be obtained, as tha strongest opposition to It would come from within the organization of tho party itself, No mensure enn be proposed thatwill not meet with fits severest erlticism within tho party, fur the Liberals, unlike tho Torles, will not necept, and uct, and vote In asolld and stolid phafanx, Tho third consequences of tho clection— and it is the most important of all—Is tho unquestioned fact that the influence and au- thority of the Government will now be ex- erted on the silo of tecently-Nberuted and rising nationalities {Instead of against them, With the eleetion of a Liberal Government, the only obstacle that stood In the way of Greclan Independence is removed, and Lord Beaconstietd’s * uninteresting people” have every reason to’ hope that nuw they enn be freed from every vestige of Turkish rule. ‘The Slavic nationalitles wil now feel not only that the Berlin ‘freaty will be regarded. as a binding instrument, but also that Its berating clauses will be carried ont. The Spectator In this connection says: ‘To the wrotohed people of Armonia will come Rnow hope—that it muy be possible to keep allye and yot not surrduder thomsclyes to Ruse sian autraps; while to the whole population of the Balkan Penlnsula (10,000,000 of mun), a new eureer, a garcer in whleh thoy may remnln freo of the Ottomun, yet nvold * plunging inte tho Ttussinn morngs,’” will seem to have been opened, Thelr natural friend is England, The: will be exultation in Athens and Erzeroum, in Bucburest aud Sopbla, though ft muy be feeblo compared with the oxulta- tion of our own millions in India, no longer taxed @ miserteonte in order that a Premier muy pose as arbiter of the destinics of Central Aging... + No treaty can bo dls- regarded, but no treaty prevents the Uritish Government from Liurovilng its beavy welght. ont the side of the rising nationulltics, or securing: pence In Asia by aver fram breaking It, or imuntaining an attitude in Europe which will mako tho combinations that must precede war next to impossible, No Core binds the Goy- ernment to maintain men like Lord Lytton in Culeutta, or Sir Li. Layard in Gonshintinnnls, or Sir I. Elllot In Vientu, or to waste half tho strength of Indla upon preposterous projects to enslive a people who usk, as their sole request, that men frum Europe shall letthem and thelr wifalre atone. It iy this result moro than any or all others of the English election which will comment itself to freemen the world over, If Mr. Gladstono shall come to the head of the Government and shall achieve even in part such a result,—If he enn only give these struggling, suffering peoples tho conselous- ness of English sympathy, Instead of the feellug that the power,of the Government is Jengued with Turkish despotism to keep them from enjoying the rights nccoried ‘to them in the Berlin d'reaty,—he will crown Almself with honor,‘however the Powers at St. Petersburg, Viena, or Berlin may. dis- trust or hate hin, Lf Jie can go stitl further and bundle Turkey out of Evrope and wipe out the last vestige of Aslastic power, which Beaconsfield. has so long worshiped, on Eu- ropean soll, he would receive the plaudits of every man in tho world who loves Hberty, NOMINATION AND ELECTION. At the meeting of the friends and advo- entes of the third term 1n this city the spenk- ers felt it necessary t6 enter upon a Inbored defense of thelr candidate, though no man was attackIng Wim. -, In ke manner thesesnamo speakers claimed thata third-term candidate would bo nomi- nated beyond all question, ‘This, of course, necessitated a further claim that the Demo- ernts in soveral of tho Southern States wera so clamorous for a. third-term President that they, if given tho chance, would abandon the Demoeratle party and yote to perpetuate the Republican party in the possession of the Government, <As the wise thing to do in thls caso Is to ascertain the facts, or, in the absence of the facts, the probadilities, let us- examine theso state- ments, It will require 185 Electoral votes to. elect a President.

THE ILLINOIS RIVER IMPROVEMENT, The news of tho nection of a part of the H- Mnois delegation In Congress before the Commerce Committee on Thursday was on agreeable surprise to everybody, * Heretofore ourlarge delegation in Washington, so far ag the material, Industrin), and commercial Interests of the State“are concerned, havo proved themselves almost entirely worthless, For years past little ornothing hins been done for tho Improvement of the Illinois River and the enlargement of tho Illinols & Michigan Canal, a work of Nation- nl importance, and in case of war a National necessity. ‘They have been con- tent matuly to smoke in the lobby and draw their pay, while others have secured for their constituents Government appropriations for nll sorts of worthy, and too many of thom useless, schemes for pretended Improvements. Last year, for Instance, Gov, Pound, of Wis- “consin, obtatned an appropriation of $150,000 for the Fox River Canal and improvement, and our entire delegation got $40,000 for the Iiinols River. Was ever negligence and in- difference on the part of what was thought to be astrong body of public men more trans- parent and humiliating ? Now a last we have 9 man in Congress in tho person of Gen. Hayes, of Grundy County, who seems to know how to dolt, Athis solicitation a part of the Ilinols delegation had a hearing before the Commerce Com- mittee; and himself, Col. Boyd, Gen, Singte- ton, and Col. Fort made pertinunt and telling speeches, Gen, Hayes urged the fact that Illinois pald Inst year $0,500,000 Internal revenue, and to ask only $400,000 to build a dam near Beardstown was surely 1 very moderate request and should be cheerfully granted. ‘Thatand ono other would make the Ilinols, River always navigable for largo stenmers to LaSalle. Col, Boyd, Gen. Sin- gleton, and Col, Fort also presented conelu- sive arguments In favor of the work, It ig stated that the other members of the Ailinots delegation aro also to present argu- ments to the Cominitted, and It is hoped that Gen. Ilayes will not cease to enlist the energies and tho influence of the Illnols members, and uso thelr power In a way that shall command the consent of Congress to the suceessful completion of this great Na- tional enterprise. They can, by united, per- sistent effort, cet anything that {8 right and for the best interests of the West, and they nye In duty bound to do it, Wo may as well speak plalily while on this subject, and tell our members that {f they wish to retain thoir soft, comfortable seats they must show more netlvity and achieve more * success in behalf of the interests of thelr constituents, Goy. Pound fs asking for and we hope ho will get his halla milllon for his Mississlppi reservolra, but what nro they all combined compared with Lake Michigan, whose waters with an adequate channel would render tho Tinols and the Misstssipp! always navigable for large steamers, thus opening mngnifi- cent water-way through the heart of the Nntion from Now Orleans to Now York and tho Gulf of St, Lawronce? Gentlemen of the INinois delegation, this {s the most linportant work your constituents expect you to accom- pilsh, ang tho people expect you to do what you ean‘for it. At last yot lava started right. Keep bravely on and in oa fow years the work will be done and you will not fall of your reward. ‘Tre Republican Convention fn Massnchu- setts which selcoted dolegates to tho Chicayo Convention hus set an example which ts well worthy of Imitation by ull conventions, whothor Ropublican or Domocrutic, that are called to up- point representatives to a National Convention for tho nomination of a Prealdontlal candidate, In tho first place, tho Convontion contented itself with the, choles of four delegates to represent the Btate at large, and did not undertake to force ~upon tho — varlous distriots nny delegates the poople might not want or representing sentiments that might bo offensive to tho various constituenclod, In tho next placo, ft was tho sentiment of tho Conven- tlou that tho four gentlemon choson—Messrs, Hour, Codman, Sanford, and 8eelye—would falrly represent tho sentiment of Massachusotts He- ptiblicans and act for tho beat {ntercsts of, a common cause, In tho third place, though it was ovident that tho provalling sontimout was in favor of Edmunds, tho majority did not take advantage of ite power to impose any ustruc- tons upon tho Stato dologutcs (much leas tho district dolegates), but contented tacit with commonding Mr. Edmunds to tholr considorn- tion as “a Republican statesman who posscsses inau uminent degreo such qualities aud requi- sits for nomination” as bad boon sot forth in tho provious resolutions, ‘This course waa {n all re- #pcota fair, honest, and Uberal; and, if all the State Conyontions were governed by slmitar rulea, tho Presldontial nominations would bo more likely to be in tho lutorests of tho different political purtics, in accord with popular sentl- mout, and in keoplug with the public wolfaro, ——aa———— Senator Lonan’s speech was an admit able keynote and beginuing for a defunsive campitign, {t was fromthe firat word to tho lust a defense of Gen.
