Rome may well have cried in thankfulness to the gods and there- after declared the humble anser of the Capitol a bird as sacred as the Egyptian Ibis. Tho Roman General Camillus earned fame for his rapid onslaught upon the rude tribes and his slaughter thereof; but the capi- toline geese were more to be thanked and was deservedly re-elected.

THE RICH of both parties, from their sense of se- curity in the mightiness of the American Republic, invite us to go soundly asleep for three years to come and let the question of Cessarism be treated or fought then, if at all. They would trust to the geese of the Capitol in the meantime. The pomp and power of Cmsarism may eat their way into the very heart of our body politic, and, according to these wise men, we are to rely upon the warning scream of geese to arouse us before the final masterstroke is accomplished. A sorry argument, We have no intention that Cmsarism shall be allowed to steal upon our last stronghold in the night while vigilance can detect it on the march. Let the geese be ever so ready to scream, they could not save our liberties nowadays if the Cmsar and his ordered legions were about to take the citadel of freedom by storm. Let those secure in office or despairing’from continued defeat chloroform themselves into a political anmsthesia, we are determined that the grasp of Cesar shall not be upon us without the country having had timely warning. We do not care to trust to geese, whose necks may be wrung before they have time to scream. The ample discussion which the subject is receiving on all sides is highly encouraging to those who view the subject from the stand- point of patriotism—that is, outside of all mere party issues. Instead of the cynical smiles of the first days wherein the question was agitated we now observe a seriousness of expression in what the journals of the country have to say. By and by we shall be able to develop how far the conspiracy to elect Presi- “dent Grant fora third term has taken shape among the superserviceable. We call particu- lar attention to the following extract from an article in the Washington Republican, the semi-official organ of the administration. It has, doubtless, surprised a good many; but when an inspired journal so readily resolves to take its stand we may expect more of the same kind from those anxious to please the powers that be. lt says :— While the administration occupies this attitude ofeutire indifference on the subject, :t cannot be denied that the present sianderous wartare that ts being waged upon the President has created a strong feeling in lavor of his renomination among a large body of his supporters— a feeling that is as likely to sweep the country as not and give hima third term in the Executive Mansion by a majority more overwhelming than he received in '68 or tn '72, The question will naturally be asked, Is this threat the answer of the tone-givers of the republican party to an invitation to join in the discussion? If so, they have, indeed, chosen a plan by which, President Grant consenting, failure to elect him for a third term would be impossible. Translated into direct Eng- lish, it is that if exerybody is content with General Grant he should serve another term, because of the universal satisfaction he has given; and, if anybody is discontented with President Grant, @ fortiori, should he be forced to serve another term?

The party that would It says :— - This idea is taking the unmistakable shape of American public opinion, and the more we reflect upon the proposition the more favor it meets with in our eyes, * * * There 1s but one way tocover up the past forever and convince the democratic party that we meant business when we beat them in the last campaign, and that is to re-elect General Grant for another term. Other republican journals of the same stripe put out feelers in the same direction. We are aware that, had there been no discussion of the third term question, these journals would have guarded a discreet silence for some time longer. But it is better for the republican party and the nation that a perfect under- standing should exist regarding the positions of all. Covert favor of the third term project where the party and its divisions stand. _ We are happy to say that the republican journals are not all so forgetful of their country’s highest interests. Says the Boston Traveller :— Were he to run fora third term he would vio- late no law, nor would he disregard any provision of the constitution; but he wouid o‘tend prescrip- tion, and prescription 1 stronger than law, men joven B ot it a thorough constitution provision, which binds them, and w that they gladiy obey. President Washington id down tie law” for them on this matter, and we yet feel the weight of Washington's shadow, This is outspoken, but not moro so than the Newark Advertiser, which says :— We do not believe that the people of the United States will ever conier a third term upon any President. It is acontradiction of the higher law | of the republican theory, and tie people would so look upon it, making this exceptional ruler a ‘sus- pect” irom the moment of lus oath of oMce.”” This journal considers that every stop he would take—say, the needed increaso of the army or navy—would subject him to We scarcely doubt it; but the Advertiser must remember that the President is responsible only to impeachment, and the value of that resource was tried, as we have already noted, with the most unpopular President that ever filled the chair of Washington, and failed utterly. A Presi- dent fortified as General Grant would be could defy all clamor and even make it an excuse for @ fourth election. The Wathena (Kansas) Reporter goes a step further. It is able to judge whether its more submissive brethren of the republican camp will have the temerity to test the truth of its prophecy. It says:— The precedent that was set by Washington ana | has since been accepted as fully established tas bie tutional law, and there ts not the least danger of | resume to ignore this principle would be buried The tone of the democratic journals is, ag might be expected, full of opposition to the scheme of re-election. Some of them are carried into violent sentences, which, consid- ering the weakness of their party, are inop- opportune, to say the least. The Atalanta Constitution, puts the President's desires— secks to control some portion of public opinion, or who pretends to represent it, could look at the prospect of the annihilation of republican liberty on the Continent, and cry, “What a revenge for the conquered South!’’ The Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer, with some other democratic papers, takes a calmer view of the question. It says:— General Grant has had his share of abuse. Yet but few men have had the boldness to accuse him of a lack of common sense, and his permitting his name to come again before the country for the Presidency would show a want ofjuagment and an ignorance of the feelings of the people. Here is a frank invitation to the President to place himself fairly upon record as to whether he is content with the honors he has already reaped, and whether he is determined to respect the tradition of Washington and to insure the preservation of republican liberty by retiring manfully from office at the honored close of his present term. The Argentine Republic for Cuba, One after another the Spanish-American Republics are manifesting their sympathy for the Cubans, and are preparing evidently to give it practical shape. The latest proof of this is seen in the action of the Argentine Republic. The official letter we published yesterday from the Secretary of State of that Republic to the government of Colombia shows that the proposition for combined efforts to effect the independence of Cuba is heartily approved by the Argentine Republic. The proposal is that the Spanish-American govern- ments shall, in accord with the United States, unite to compel Spain to acknowledge the autonomy of Cuba, and that, as a preliminary step, the struggle now existing in that island shall be carried on according to the usages of modern and civilized warfare. To bring this about an International Congress is called for, to be held in Washington. Peace- ful mediation is proposed, in which the United States government shall take the initia- tive. In the event of Spain listening to this mediation an offer is to be made of a certain sum of money to the Spaniards to abandon the island—a sum which Cuba is to pay and which will be guaranteed by the mediating Powers. Most of the Spanish-American Re- publics have agreed in the main to this propo- sition and have instructed their representa- tives in Washington to urge it upon our gov- ernment. In connection with this movement a loan of twenty millions of dollars, it is said, is about to be raised in Peru in behalf of “Cuba Libre.” Although the Spanish-Amer- ican States are not separately very powerful, yet in combination they are a consid- erable power. If there is any way in which our government can aid the project consist- ently it should be done. In no casein the history of revolutionary struggles for inde- pendence have there ever been more urgent or cogent reasons for such mediatory interven- tion. To the Cubans themselves we would give a word of advice. While the heroic and patient conduct, as well as the patriotism and suffering, of those in the field, from President Cespedes down to the almost naked negroand white private soldiers, inspire us with admiration, the quarrellings, rivalry and meanness of those parlor Cuban patriots who remain in New York, or else- where far away from Spanish gunpowder, only awaken contempt. If they will not risk thelr precious liyes or give their money for their country, let them, at feast, refrain from damaging the cause by parading their quarrels before the American public. The Racing Season. Whether horse racing is demoralizing, as is is what we most deprecate. Let us Men tnt by many good people, or is an excel- lent sport worthy of encouragement, as seems to be the popular opinion, is one of those questions better left unanswered in the warm weather. When there is a great diversity of opinion it is just as well, at least in these August days, to let the contro- versy quietly die. But while the morality of the turf is in dispute horse racing gains steadily in public estimation. The breeding and training of horses for the triumphs of the field, of animals of noble ancestry, strong of wind and fleet of limb, is getting to be recog- nized as a useful and proper work for American gentlemen of means. Certainly there could be no more worthy pursuit for those having the opportunity and leisure than that of improving the breed of the American horse. Andif racing serves the purpose of exhibiting the best results of breeding, while affording exciting sport to the multitude, the patrons of the turf can afford to smile at those who would frown it down. There can be no doubt whatever of the fact that the turf is every year becoming more popular. The people are taking an increasing interest in racing stock, so that we may reasonably expect, ina few years—if, indeed, we have not already achieved that result—to equal England in the number and quality of our blooded horses. The estab- lishment of our famous Jerome Park, the Long- champs of America, its admimble management and freedom from the questionable practices that too often characterize racing grounds of lesser note, has given a tone and purpose to the sport throughout the country. This sea- son has been a most successful one for patrons of the turf. The quality of the horses entered on the several courses has been exceptionally fine, as is evidenced by tho running record, and on the whole it may be said that of the tricks of the professional people there has been less this year, taking everything into account, than usual. This is an encouraging sign of what we may expect in the future. We sent our yachts into European waters to bear away the best foreign prizes, and wo know no reason why we cannot breed and train horses to beat which he has not at all expressed—upon a ments ridiculous, the best animals that the famous stables of one and should be encouraged. In the mean- time we regard the present racing season as indicating an improvement over preceding years, and as such a new departure for the American turf. Complications. The imperial German government is exceed- ingly cautious of its Cabinet treatment of the Spanish Republic constituted in Madrid. Captain Werner, of the Prussian navy, who seized the Spanish insurgent frigate Vigilanté, is to be tried by court martial for his act. Simple-minded persons were disposed to ap- plaud his conservative and peace-loving con- duct on the occasion ; but it appears that if Kaiser William approved of it, His Majesty would thereby afford an acknowledgment of the new fledged democratic system in Spain. There is, then, really no government in Madrid, according to strict monarchical rule. The non-recognized Republic is scarcely a government de facto; Don Carlos has not ‘constituted’ himself—we believe that is the term—and as for the ‘‘reds,’’ where will they go to look for royal baptism outside the horse pond and prison shower bath? Poor Captain Werner, we pity him. He should have studied the reported proceedings of the Geneva Arbi- tration Court before he accepted his present command. It is now no longer doubtful that Spain has become the object of foreign in- terest. Strange navies have, to some extent, taken her coasts in charge. We cannot blame the various outside governments for looking after the property of their own people, but we doubt whether foreign interference will do much good. The German navy has captured two insurgent war vessels at Malaga. Valencia resists a fierce bombardment, the radicals dis- playing most obstinate perseverance in their defence against the republican assault. The government is about to attempt to disarm the Madrid militia—a very dangerous experiment, particularly when undertaken at a moment when foreigners are about to make reclama- tions to the Cabinet against injury and insult. The intransigentes of Spain receive some notice at the hands of our Madrid correspond- ent by mail, which will tend to enlighten the public as to who the insurrectionists are and what they aim at. The sketch of affairs at Madrid will be found interesting. The letter from a Henatp correspondent with the Car- lists, dated at Perpignan, gives the impres- sions in the Carlist camp after the battle of Alpens, in which the republican General Cabrinetty lost his life. Anorner Roya Marrtace.—Prince Arthur, another of Queen Victoria’s sons, is about to be married. The bride elect is the Princess Thyra, of Denmark, the sister of the Princess of Wales. A happy mother must be the Queen of Denmark. One daughter, if she lives, willbe Queen of Eng- land. Another daughter, if she lives, will be Empress of all the Russias. A son is by popular choice King of Greece. Another daughter is to be the wife of Prince Arthur, of England—a man who may yet play a promi- nent part in the hjstory of his country. The only trouble about the affair is that Parlia- ment must be asked to make a tresh grant. But then the match is on, and before Parlia- ment reassembles public sentiment will have cooled down, and Mr. Gladstone will find it possible to obtain an annual grant of another twenty-five thousand pounds. There are only two more to provide for—a Prince and a Princess. Why should the British taxpayers growl, especially in view of alliances so splendid? A crown is a gorgeous toy, and the people who own it and are proud of it shouki not object to pay the piper. Tue Virotnia Conservative CONVENTION, held at Lynchburg yesterday, gave indications of a desperate struggle to be made in tho Fall against radical rule in that State. The total failure of liberal republicanism at the last gen- eral election has aroused the fiery blood of the opponents of the party in power, and this time they are determined to fight an uncompromis- ing battle. The scalps of carpet-baggers and scalawags must hang from their belts before they are satisfied. For the present their war whoops only re-echo through the Old Do- tmainion. The Board of Health and the Nais- ances. Our sanitary authorities have bestirred them- selves to some effect this Summer and have made laudable exertions towards a thorough cleansing of the city and the eradication of plague spots. Their war on the marketmen was a brief but decisive one, and the bone boilers have been ignominiously routed. In- spectors are around daily, with a keen scent for aught that may interfere with the metro- politan health. The labor of Hercules in re- gard to stable cleaning was light in comparison to that undertaken by the Board of Health this Summer. Much still remains to be done. One portion ot the city, com- monly known as the Harlem flats, above Eighty-sixth street, in the East River, is a swamp or marsh of the most malignant type. Sickness seems to be the normal condi- tion of those compelled to live in the neigh- borhood of this loathsome plague spot. Should the health authorities wish to be con- vinced of the fact they need only move their headquarters to these marshes, and they will have a choice assortment of every description of disease. The malaria in this district is frightful. Some action should be taken to abatesucha nuisance. Proper drainage would accomplish much until all the sunken lots are filled up beyond high water level. Strict vigilance is also required to guard against the people who poison the waters of the bay with offal and those who scatter filth in the streets. The Board of Health must complete their work before the urgent necessities of the city will be considered as attended to, and we trust there will be no faltering on their part.

Ti M. Odillon Barrot. M. I. Camille Hyacinthe Odillon, better known to the world under the name of Odillon Barrot, Vice-President of the Council of State of France, died yesterday at the age of eighty-two years. He was the son of a member of the famous French Cenvention, and was born at Villeiort (Loztére), on the 19th of July in the year 1791. His father was an active politician, and the youth inherited, as it were, a taste for politics. He studied law and became distinguished in the profesion at an early age. He became a pleader before the tribunals of Paris at the age of nineteen years, and by his eloquence paved the way to the forum, He was a sturdy champion of civil and religious liberty at the bar, and during big parliamentary career he advocated the same principles. He filled a seat in the French Legislative Chambers under the government of Louis XVIIL, but became, sub- sequently, One of the members of the opposition, and in this capacity was instrumental in the over- throw of Charlies X.
