CESARISMN. The Third Term Proposed for General Grant. Views of the American’ Tress on the Scheme to Gverthrow the. Liberties of tke Republic. [From the’ Lockport (N. 7) Union (democratic), July 9 * * * The HERALD makes no mistake in direct- ing attention to the issue which must overtop all others until it is finally and trrevocably settled. Mr. Grant’s usurpation in Louisiana equals, in de- flance of law, any single act of Cwsar in his pro- gressive Overthrow of the Roman Republic. ‘To evade the fate of that Empire Mr. Grant must not be allowed to enter upon his third term. It may have been noticed by the observing that those re- Publicans who last Fall denounced, in advance, any project looking to Mr. Grant’s continuance in oMce beyond his present term are now reticent upon the subject, or venture the assertion that a third term is likely to become a necessity! “But to say,” remarks the HERALD, that “this is nota living issue is to say what Is not true.” No paper has eqnalled the HERALD in shrewdly pointing out vital questions in a political canvass. It is vain to talk of tarif_ls or monopolies while this question is pending. (From the Augusta (Ga,) Chronicle (democratic), July 9.) THE COMING ISSUE, The New York Ueratp of the Sth, in an editorial article written with great ability and force, reviews the past epochs of our country’s politics, and forecasts the nature of the coming issue, While professodly friendly to General Grant; while giving him credit for saving tho Republic in time of war and for gov- erning it wisely and honestly (God save the mark!) in time of peace; while implying that a second term of the Presidency was a just reward of dis- tinguished public services, the HERALD fears that the personal ambition of the President will make Cwesarism—the assumption of continuous power— the issue which the people must determine in 1876. The writer thinks that tho presenta- tion of such an issue will be a suicidal act. Grant, though the leader of his party— as completely its master as was ever Jef ferson or Jackson—cannot hope for success a third time, ‘Great 98 General Grant has shown himself to be, and powerful as his party un- doubtedly is, the suggestion of a third term, seri- ously accepted on his part, would be virtually to loap trom the Tarpeian Rock and leave a name in history to be rememberea with the names of Burr and Arnold.” The metaphor is a little mixed, per- haps, but the language is certainly strong and em- Phatic enough, * * * Every important act of the President's since his second inaugural seems to indicate that he 18 preparing for a third term— that Cesarism is to be the issne; Cmsarism, with allits tyranny and corruption, its viciousness and depravity, without the prosperity, the glory and the grandeur which made ita despotism endurable. To this complexion must it come at last unless the people remain true to themselves and truc to the faith of their fathers, the founders of the Republic, But, while the HERALD has discovered the fact, it is not the first to discover the truth. Sagacious statesmen fore- saw and depicted the evil more than a year ago. Charles Sumner, whose republicanism is as un- doubted as his talents, told Congress and tne country of Cwsarism irom his seat in the Senate More than a twelvemonth since, Horace Greeley, the great journalist, the man able, honest and sincere, whose untiring exertions, whose perse- verance, unflagging industry and indomitable will made him the founder of the republican party and contributed in no small measure to tts subsequent victories and long continued success, saw the danger and sounded a warning in the columns of the 7ribune, Other republicans saw it and sought to save the party trom the suicidal nomination at Philadelphia, When they became convinced that further exertions within party lines would be useless, they renounced their allegiance. They determined to act for themselves, and the Cincinnati platform and the nomination of Horace Greeley was the first formal protest agalast the one-man power, The democracy, losing sight og lesser cyils in the presence of great and Immediate danger, coalesced with the re‘ormers and fought with them, shoulder to shoulder, the battle of '72. But the strategy of the euemy caused the true grounds of quarrel to be ignored and forgotten, | ‘The conflict was waged upon false issues, and the Cincinnati movement encountered a crushing de- feat. Now the campaign must be recemmenced, and though the last fight was lost and the enemy has theprestige of success, the prospects for vic- tory will be better than they ever were before, Cesarism, which formerly lay in ambush, now rears high its brazen front, and there is no mistaking the character of the foe, Unless the masses have be- come accustomed to misgovernment—unless the democracy have lost their anctent courage and for- saken their ancient faith—victory must come to us in '76. {From the Springfield (Mass.) Journal (republican and anti-administration) , July 10.) THE THIRD TERM, AND WHY Nor? It is ap interesting and suggestive—though, per- haps, not necessarily alarming—symptom of the abnormal pathological condition in which the body politic now finds itself, that, in the first half year ofan American President's second term, so many politicians and political journals shoula be found discussing the chances o/ his securing a third. ‘Thus, a Washington correspondent informs the Boston Post that a conterence of oMice-holders was held last week at Long Branch to “arrange the preliminaries,” and that it is “not denied” the President Knew of it. Further, that the prime movers count, first, upon the patronage; second, upon the influence of the moneyed interests—the railroads, national banks, protected manutactures and great capitalists, that supported General Grant so effectively last year; third, upon the inability o! any other one candidate to rally around him a majority of the party; fourth, upon the inability of the opposition to concentrate and actin unison. Tue mention of the moneyed | interests here recalls the somewhat famous argu- ment of the Boston Journai and other republican organs last year, that any change of adwinistra- tion would be necessarily injurious, if not calami- tous, to capital and business, since it would sub- stitute uncertainty for certainty. We said at the time that this argument, if solid, would hold as true in 1876 as in 1872 and in 1830 as in 1876; that it Was, logicaliy and practically, an argument for the empire, We suy so now. ‘Thus, too, the New York HERALD has treated its readers thid Week to several editorial articics, in the genuine alarmist vein, on the ad- vent of ‘Cwsarisii’” im this free and happy country. The tone and drift of them can be suflicientily indicated by a brief = extract:—"Nothing 18 clearer = than that the henemen of Gencral Grant, the men who have gained honor and wealth out of his adminis- | tration, and who see in hig renomination and re-clection their own continuance in power, mean to insist upon his renomination, are all at hand:—We are doing so well; the busi- ness of the country needs so much tranquillity ; the South is so restiess in the absenve of a firm nand; General Grant has been so admirable, and so on, that we cannot run the risk of pew experiments,” , We might continue these citations, but it is un- necessary. Here and there a reformed civil service organ scarcely takes the piin to conceal its expectation and hope, Even wuch a pewr paper as the New York 7imes contents itself with sneering at the alarm of “the democracy” over the pros pect of General Grant's renomination. Here and there, too, & Northern politician intimates, with more or less reserve, that, in a conceivable contingency, General Grent may be the best man. Colonel Mosby hai) spoken out his mind with the frankness belitting a partisan Sghter; and there 18 10 doubt that he speaks for the entire class of Southern Daigettys who have seen the The arguinents | error of their ways and been converted to loyalty as it is in General Grant. If, by any accident, the President should run again he would probably run better at the South than in any other section of the country, The predictions of the Courter-Journal on that head are coming true with a rapidity that is rather startling. We are not disposed, as our readers very well know, to exaggerate the impoitance of this third- term talk; much of itis doubtless !dle aud mean- ingless. Neither politicians nor newspapers are to be held to @ rigid accountability for every foolish word they may chance to let {all at a time when the Dog Star rages, and Congress ia not in session and “sensations” are ata premium. Making all fair allowances, however, we have still a residium of earnestness, calculation, serious purpose. There are afew men and journals that regard General Grant's re-election in 1876 as both feasible and desirable. There aro a great many men and journals that could be pretty certainly relied upon, in the event of his getting tne “regular nomination,” to sup- port him. They would not find in the fact of his having already served two terms any solid objec- tion to presenting him witha third.’ That is to say, the Washington precedent has lost, for tho moment at least, much of its sanctity: The war 1s largely responsible for this, as for a number of other things—good and bad, There may be a reaction by and by and a return to the old paths; we hope and believe there willbe, But at present there is not among us that vigilant jealousy of rulers, (hat exaggerated but wholesome dread of personal government, that watchful care that the democratic republic sustains no tajury at the nands of poworful public servants, that used to charac- terize the American people. In the storm more than one cable bas parted, more than one anchor has been Jost, he ship has drifted a long way from her old moorings, and there is a lee shore in sight. We do not look to see her go to wreck upon this shore, however We still retain an abiding and reassuring faith in the Republic. We believe her to be in greater danger at this moment trom the dry rot of corruption than from “Cmsarism.”’” We see no reason to budge from the opinion heretofore ex- pressed in these columns, that General Grant can- not get a renomination even if he ia after it, of which there is as yet no satisfactory proof. More- over, we do not believe the people are ready as yet for either the life-consulate or the empire. It is quite possible the spectacle of a Presideut openly seeking & third term might give precisely that shock to the national system which Is needed to dispel the lethargy that now oppresses it, set the biood tingling through the veins and restore the suspended functions to a normal activity, (From the Providence Journal (administration— Senator Anthony’s organ), July 10.) The New YORK HERALD has discovered that there is nothing in the constitution of the United States which prevents a person from being elected threo times to the ofice of President, It bas discovered that President Grant was some few years since ad- mitted to be something of a soldier, ond it knows that he has been for a second timo chosea Chiet Executive of the nation. This is familiar learning, as the lawyers say, to everybody ; and the same thing has transpired before in our history. But—not even in the old coffin-bandbill days of General Jackson—did it seem so certain that a despotic Casarism was to take possession of our country as it geems to-day possible, if not probable, to the HraLp, “General Grant is a brave and sincere American,” it cries; “he has said and done nothing in the matter to justify any criticism on our part.’ But the “contingency in- volving the liberties of the country is” that the People have the constitutional right to elect him President once more, There is no doubt about the fact. As toits evil a8 a matter of political calcu- lation there is, in the opinion of the HERALD, a diretul and portentous apathy on the part o1 tho peopie. It thinks that they are driving blindly on to a third election of Grant simply because this is a “contented, prosperous and happy country,” with, outa thought that by so doing they would plunge themselves and the nation into a gulf of despotism wherein, trodden down by “the man on horse- back,’ would be slain our liberties and annihilated all our town meetings, and free suffrage, and pub- lic schools, and three months’ vacation for the min- isters, and everything pertaining to, and every, body in favor of, republican liberty. Itis a good while to the next Presidential election, and why the Haran should have sprung this question upon us just now when it is dry, and warm and garden. ing is discouraging, and we are sadly in want ofa jovial day at the shore, we cannot understand, (From the Lynchburg Virginian (democratic) July 10.) * * « The Washington Chronicle, an adminis- tration organ, seys:— This expression of opinion coming from the HERALD alone would be without significance, for it would surprise Do one to see it contradicted in @ leader in a day or two, but taken in connection With expressions {rom other democratic papers scattered all over the Country makes it clear that the leaders of that party anticipate General Grant's renomination by the next Republican Na- tional Convention, i It will be observed that the Chronicle does not disavow, either for the party or its chief, such a purpose as that attributed to both by “democratic papers scattered all over the country,’ but leaves upon the public mind the unpleasant impression that General Grant is willing to disregard that usage which has mada the law governing this subject, and that his party will use him as long as he Is the most available candi- date. The omission is significant, and the inter- ences that “democratic papers” have deduced from the well known character of the man and his party—both of which are utterly regardless of all precedents—are just. If, therefore, Grant should seem to be, three years hence, the strongest man in the party, he will again be nominated ior the high office he now holds, but dogs not 1. We may rest assured that he and his oiice holders will try to make that appear as a fact, and the prediction {From the New York Express (democratic), July 10.) The HERALD devotes another leader to the rapid strides we are making towards a consolidated des potism under the “Cresarism” of General Grant, and until these strides are reversed, the editor is certain, the liberties of the people are in danger, (The HeRaxp is right, but it is only opening its eyes now to perils which were clearly foreseen by others when the republican party mad: Grant sub stantially military dictator.) As a first step to get ting on the path of safety, the HERALD calls upon President Grant to give public assurance that he will not be @ candidate for a third term, The writer knows little of Grant or of such men as Grant, if he expects him to do anything like that, He and his party have “shipped tor the voyage,” and the voyage, no matter how perilous it may be | to popular liberty, must go on, on, on—till the end. | (From the Baltimore Gazette (democratic), July 9%) * * * Besides the qualities we have ventured, in no unkindness, to attribute to our New York contemporary, there is the additional one mant- | fested regularly as each political crisis presents it- | sell—ot a sort of instinct as to success, Rarely has the HERALD fatled to bet on the winning horse, and in order to do #0 has had no scru in true gaming fashion, to sacrifice all personal considerations and | | give up everything for success. W. therefore, | besides the sudden solemnity, we find the more un- | expected mantfestation of a di-posit.on for once, | for the sake of a great principie, to run the risk of i defeat, it becomes more impressive. Now for our facts, to which considerate readers will, we are | sure, thank us for calling their attention. At the end, during last week, of a very well considered article on the political state of the country, the HERALD uses this remarkable language, which strikingiy illustrates what, in the way of criticism, we have suggested, and which we cannot abridge:—* * * (Quotation froin the HERALD.) Who is there that will deny that this is unatfectedly earnest in tone and strictly true in fact and logic ? One danger even the HERALD does not seem whi ing to contemplate—the imminent danger that the same mastery which enables Grant to command a second renomination would almost certainly se- cure his re-election. The election and tho defeat are stated alternatively, Our judgment, and we speak it sadly, is that with the financial and other evil influences which the President and his myrmidons know 80 well how to use the chances would be largely in bis fayor, But one thing can avert tt, and this is, that apathy snould cease, and that such blasts of warning a3 we have cited, and which we trust will be repeated, shall arouse the sleeping people. The republican party, in the way of the development of anything like opposition to a third term candidate, is thor- oughly narcotized, Its bravest leaders are in dis- credit and almost exiled. How helpless it really is may be inferred from the incontestable fact that the only possible candidate within its reach who is talked of is the migratory adventurer who pre- sides over the House of Representatives; and his pretensions are just nothing. Of lberalism we hardly know how to speak. Like many other over- strained, immature growths, its vigor was impatred by precocity, We surrendered everything to it last Autumn, and in doing so overtaxed more ener- gies than one, Nothing, then, remains but the democracy of the land, and in view of the new danger which, as we have seen, appalls those who are not casily alarmed, we call on it to arouse and organize. {From the Washington Star (administravion), July 9.) ‘The HERALD sees & growth of Cmsarism in our Politics that compels an issue with the people “which has not had its parallel in gravity since the foundation of the government.” The HenaLp does not associate General Grant with its com- ments upon the danger of Ossarism, but says that he is surrounded by men like Mark Antony and Talleyrand, who speak to him as they spoke to Cesar and Napoleon. Let us hope that the dan- ger from Cwsarism, snuffed afar off by the HERALD, will not prove a reality. We imagine our practl- cal, common sense American people will make short work of the Ceasar business should it ever show itself in a shape for them to get a lick at it. As for General Grant, he tranquilly smokes his cigar and perhaps takes an occasional stomach-warmer to ward off the paralysis that seizes the unco-tem- Perance folks like Henry Wilson, Colfax, Greeloy and tho rest; but we may be sure that he has no more idea of being 1 Caesar than he has of flying. Andrew Johnson was a good deal more in the Caesar line, and his inglorious fizzle serves to show just what amount of success that kind of ism is likely to get in this country, {From the Troy Whig (administration), July 10.) ‘The New York Hggaup has been for a long time anxious about the political prospect forthe next Presidential campaign. It fears, or pretends to fear, that General Grant will be a candidate for a third term. Our constitution permits a re- election for as many terms as the people are willing. A man may be re-elected and hold tne office of President until death shall close his term. But there is an unwritten law, which is higher than the constitution. It is the example set by George Washington and followed by every Prosident and accepted by the people. The party that shall undertake to ruo a candidate for a third term will be beaten and the candidate will be dis- graced. We donot think General Grant is required to say a word on the subject. Ho will go out of office at the end of his second term as quietly as any of his predecossors. He has never manifested any disposition to grasp or exercise power. Ho has been content simply to do his duty. The question ought not to be discussed asif a third nomination were possible. So far the discussion has been confined to the HERALD. We have seen no response, and perhaps none Is necessary, But we will venture to remark that tho polltician who shall dare to propose a third term may as well re- tire at once to private life. {From the Buffalo Courier (dem.) July 11.) The New YORK HERALD has lately published sov- eral articles of more than usual merit and fore- thought on the present tendencies of public events in this country, and, dismissing all the side issues such as those of protection and free trade, suffrage to one class or the other, and even that yet greater question of centralization or State rights, says the real thought in the minds of most of our politi- clans is, “Shall we have a republican form of gov- ernment? Shall wo nominate General Grant for @ third term?” * * * It is justly said that his- tory repeats itself, but it is always with variations whioh partly obscure its teachings from our sight. The change from simple republicanism to Cysar- ism in this country will not be marked by a coup diétat, such as that of Louis Napoleon, bat many of the social and political cloments around us are favorable to it. There is an absence of these fixed sentiments on many subjects which pervaded the community when the revolution was accompiished; the country has become accustomed to the spectacle of military subordination and rule, and many of our young men have formed their opinions during its existence; enormous wealth and luxury have not only been obtained, but this hasbeen done with a suddenness never before known. The prevalence of a widespread laxity in morat and political principles, especially among our public men, is too plainly proved by the Crédit Mobilier and other extraordinary legis- lation in Congress: and big railroad and other iniquities in State legislation at Albany and else- Where; property is becoming concentrated in fewer hands, and the opportunities of readily ac- quiring land anda farm at a nominal price are almost totally lost in the older States, and social distinctions, scarcely known in the earlier days of the Republic, are becoming the rule instead of the exception, while honest labor is less respected. These things and others connected with them go far to make up the body of adifforent government and aid those who, for the sake of retaining their honors and emoluments, are desirous that Grant Should be re-elected for a third term and as much longer as they can carry elections, [From the Rochester Democrat (administration), July 12] We think the people will hesitate long about Offering any man—even one who has earned so much consideration at their hands as General Grant—a third term, and he will be even more scrupulous to accept than they to proffer. It is Well that no law has yet been established on this matter. The austere example of Washington is something that it is more dificult to disregard than even a constitutional provision. The people make constitutions, and might do away with them at will, but the severe majesty of that character, its cold, snowy purity of patriotism, cannot be for- gotten nor obliterated. We have littie or no mis- trust of the intention of the people of this country to govern themselves, or of their ability to do it, and yet we think nothing but some dangerous crisis should induce the nation to choose even its great- est man Chief Magistrate fora third term, Such an event will be followed by the election of some less worthy candidate a fourth time, and, worst of all, we shall have neither positive statute nor moral reprobation to prevent a man’s becoming what Macaulay calls “perpetual President.” After one has been clected half a dozen times both he and the people may begin to think a repetition of the formality of voting for him useless, All such specu- latiops must look far in:o the dim future for their realization; for a plainer, less ambitious President never held the oMce than he who now cccupies it. There is not gbout his character a single mark of the grasping waurper, He bears himself simply as aman who has worthily performed a great work for the na- tion and is willing to rest on the laurels he has won, He has tasted the bitterness of early ob- scurity and tlic sweetness or late renown. He is evidently one of those men who are satisfied with saving their country and would rather rest atter the task than begin a new struggle to take away its liberties, (From the Paducah Kentuckian (democratic), July 10.) The question arises, Can Grant be elected for a third term? We have heard radicals scout the idea of his even be'ng a candidate, and say thatif he was nominated he could not possibly be elected. We do not place implicit faith in such views, The power that proposes to run Grant for a third term is very great. There are, first, all the office-holders, and their name is legion, scattered all over the country, Second, the national banks and railroad corporations, It is a recognized fact that in some way these banks ond corporations have had power to control Congress and the President for years past. Oakes Ames knew how to do this thing; that was by placing the stock of the institutions where it would do the most good, Thirdly, there are the capitalists. It is this class who hold the . day berore. “ question :. bonds of the United States, and who, having se- cured them during tne war for one-half thelr value, can well afford to pay out Uberally to keep tho investment safe, Against this immense power, fully organized and ready for action, is the great body of the peo- ple. This sounds well, but the people are not organized; they bave no paid leaders, and are Mable to be led astray by the influences which the strong coalition above referred to can bring to bear upon them. The people were mistaken as to their true interests in the last Presidential election, and why may they not be mistaken again? There is but one chance to deteat the re-election of Grant in 1876, The people under some name or organiza- tion must unite and form a strong, powerful party that will stand as @ unit against official corruption, Iniquitious monopolies and money combinations, The democratic party offers the nucleus for such an organization. {From the Johnstown (Pa.) Mountain Voice, July 11.) * * * Ifreport be true the moneyed men,the Politicians, the corporations, the immense monopolies have lately ordained this third nomina- tion at Long Branch. Their fiat is the law of this land, The people must accept it nolens volens, In discussing this contingency some of the journals raise the cry of immediate Cesarism. We antici- pate nothing of the kind. Hundreds of thousands of young men, with muscles of iron and hearts of fire for their country, would in this generation fy to arms in defence of the Republic the moment the signal for the inanguration of Im- perialism were given. And if these in the open field should not be enough there would be a chosen few to dye the imperial robesin proper colors and with tne proper dye, the heart's blood of the usurper, be he entitied king, emperor or president. But General Grant would never at- tempt to overthrow the Republic. He has not the army, and the moment an attempt is made to create one the people will become alarmed. The chief danger, in thus departing from the usages of our foretathers, would be the effect upon the people im accustoming them to rulers for long periods, So soon asour people reconcile themselves toa third-term President they have takon a long stride towards reconciling themselves to a fourth-term President. What is inculoated habit in this gene- ration becomes natural to the next, They see very little wrong to @ fifth-term President, a sixth, &c., which is the natural lifo of a ruler of the requisite age. Bat long ere coming to this such easy though grand departures from usage would work just as easily though great departures from the constitu- tion, and if such a ruler were not by that time king or emperor in name he would be tn fact. THE BERALD AND THE RELIGIOUS PRESS. petal ot es (From the Raleigh (N. ©.) Biblical Recorder, July 9.) * * © Tt must be confessed that the Naw York HERALD is the best newspaper in the world, the leading journals of Europe not excepted. It has More widespread influences at work, gathering news from all parts of the world; it spends more money and exhibits more energy and enterprise in this direction than any paper within our knowledge. Tho proof of this remark {s seen in every Monday’s issue of the HERALD, One whole page and often much more is devoted to a synopsis of the sermons delivered in New York, Brooklyn, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. For 60 many pulpits to bo rep- resented, and at such remote distances, of course, must require a large reportory corps, and the expenses involved in telegraphic despatches must be very great indeed. In addition to tho re- ports of sermons, there is always at least a column of editorial which proposes to give a bird's-eye view of the topics discussed and the manner in which they were treated by different ministers the It is true these editorials are not always remarkable for their pious and reverential spirit. Tne issue of Monday last begins its article on “Yesterday's Sermons” thus :— The sermons which we publish to-day are very much like the country physician's bread pills— there is no more chance that they will kill than that they will cure. They have very little Christ in them, but then they have very little devil Some idea of the expense incurred in this mat- ter of publishing so much about religion may bo seen from the fact that the man who writes thesé editorials is paid, we have been told, $10,000 a year. The point we wish to meke is that the journalism of thecountry, so far from tabooing religious in- formation in its columns, covets it, and will gladly publish any well written article relating to re- ligion or religious institutions of learning, and itis the duty of our people to use as frequently and as readily as they can this tremendous agency for the promotion of the interest they love as they do their own lives. THE HERALD AND ITS NEW ENTERPRISE, {From the Lehighton (Pa.) Nows, July 12.) The new enterprise of the New York Hrranp in having special trains run from New York to Bos- ton, Philadelphia and Baltimore ts fully worthy of the greatness of that paper. This, taken with all its other enterprises, makes it the greatest news- paper in the world. POLITICAL NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS, The usually dignified Boston Advertiser compares General Butler to a “washcrwoman for soiled linen.” Perhaps the Genoral does not think it worth his while muaziin’ that paper. William McClelland, of Pittsburg, 1s suggested in the Harrisburg Paértot as a fit person for chairman of the next Pennsylvania Democratic State Cen- tral Committee. The St.Lonis Democrat puts this rather pertinent “What has become of the $5,000 of ‘back pay’ given by Senator Pomeroy to Mr. York on that memorable’ night, in Topeka?” If not “coy- ered” into the Treasury it is not improbable that it has been “coppered” in some of the tashion able salons in Washington. “Stephen A. Douglas,” says the St. Louis Demo- crat, “used to take his $8 a day, and be satistied; but John A, Logan thinks he is underpaid at $7,500 for six months’ service—or about $40 a ad Tue Democrat snould remember that times are slightly altered since the days of Douglas. Then corn was the basis of values. Now paper is, Ed, ©. Marshall, of Woodford county, is urged as the democratic candidate tor the Senate of Ken- tucky from the district composed of Fayette, Jes- samine and Woodford counties. Is this the same old eloquent ‘Ned’’ Marshall of many @ political campatgn ? The Cincinnati Enquirer has suggested that if the farmers of Ohio want a candidate for Gover. nor, Judge William B. Caldwell, of Cincinnati, is the man, Many are calied, but few are chosen, The same paper says that the suggestion of Dodds as a farmers’ candidate does not seem to take, Poor Doddsi It is proposed that the 30th July Convention (iiberal republican) in Ohio be postponed until the 6th of August, the day of the Democratic Conven- tion, The Cincinnati Enquirer favors the idea. “Why not Pendleton for Governor ?’ asks some of the correspondents of the Wayne county (Ohio) Democrat. Because, answers that paper, Pendie- ton don’t want to be a candidate. Congressman Robinson, of Ohlo, defends the back- pay steal, “Robbin’ some’ must be & familiar sound to his ears, ‘The Milwaukee News (democrat) believes there will be no repeal of the back-pay act at the next session of Congress for the following cogent rea- sons:—First, President Grant's salary cannot be reduced to the old figure; second, the back pay is in the pockets of the grabbers and cannot be re- covered; third, members of the next Congress are drawing monthly their increased pay, and will have enjoyedand spent it when Congress meets and the repeal proposition will be made, The Boston Transcript asserts that a new statu- ette of General Butler is in preparation, the two sides of the face being quite dissimilar. One side amusingly represents “Prohibition,” the other “Antl-Probibition.” , ‘The virtuous editor of the Worcester Spy—himsolf @ member of Congress for six years—says:—“This talk of the cost of living at Washington, used as an argument for extravagant pay, isan empty pre- 3 —$ $e tense, considering that Congressmen de not live there haif the time, while the ofietals we hava named, with mach smaller salaries, live there com~ stantly, and find no trouble in paying aul their ex+ penses.” People can live extravagantly in othes Places than Washington. “The American cholera,” says the Memphis 4oq~ lanche, “made a pass at ex-President Johnson, he soon funded it, and will be able to make a remarks in 9 conversational way during year’s canvass.”’ ‘The Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise says explanations, from Congressmen Stewart and Kendall in regard) to the back-pay bounty process are now in orde: ‘rhey may not think It worth while to take the hint The “aniversai‘demand for the repeal of the act,!# says the St. Paul Pioneer, “is defeated by the money being handed over before any service is rendered, It is a shrewd trick to pocket the funds before the rising trumpet of public indignation forces the law to be abrogated. The people can now see for themselves what manner of men they have set up for rulers,” Says the Portland (Me.) Advertiser—The query, “What becomes of the back pay of members of Cone gress which is loft in the,Treasury ?” has bees ‘answered by Secretary Richardson in these words, “It remains a perpetual debt against the governs Ment unless the law ts repealed.” “Reckless financiers, dishonest business men, Political adventurers, the purse-proud and vain shoddyists,” shouts the Lawrence (Kansas) Standard, “tbrow up their caps and shout in praise of Grant. The masses of tho pcop'e look on im sorrow. Grant was their hero—he came to them fresh from victorious battle felds—but he has failed to hold their esteem or preserve their re- gard. Enthusiasm nas given place to doubt, and the President to-day has lost the esteem of the good men of the country. The Salary bill is fatal t@ its supporters.” “The farmers’ movement, as it is called,” aeserta the Chicago Advance (religious paper), “is not thé offspring of demagogism; it is the result of a cone viction that has been steadily growing, and has at ength become general, that the enormous power of railway and other monopolies is,in more ways than one, seriously threatening the public wele fare.” "There is nothing,” declares the Louisvillg Ledger (democratic), “that can so certainly assure @ continuation of radical rule as a timid, time. serving, namby-pamby course upon the part of democrats—seeking new affiliations, running of after new parties, inangurating schemes of, ang men for expediency, at the sacrifice of the doe: trinal truths of the party.” Coid comfort, this, for the coalitionists, ‘They now begin to talk of Lew Campbell as the farmers’ candidate for Governor of Obto. Rush R, Sloan declines being the democratic ang liberal candidate for Lieutenant Governor of He will, however, stump through tho campaiga with a rush, The following is a list of New York Congrest,, men who have returned their back pay:—Senat Reuben E, Fenton, liberal; Representatives i uel S. Cox, democrat; William A, Wheeler, lican; Walter L. Sessions, republican; Eli 1 Gemocrat; William R. Roberts, democrat; Cunt L.

A pretty close shave so far as parties are concerned, LITERARY CHIT-CHAT. Mr. J. H.

THE LONDON JOURNAL Public Opinion has pub lished a series of discussions on “reform in ser- mons,” the burden of all which is the extreme dul ness, amounting almost to imbecility, of modera preaching in London, One writer insists that the real reason why the clergy are not good speakers is that they have never been taught to speak.
