The following special despatch to the “Hxratp has been received from our corre- spondent in the British metropolis :— Lonpon, Sept. 13, 1873, The London Times in its issue to-day treats the subject of Cxsarism in America editorially, «using the argument that a change in the Presidency of the United States would be a great reform, and ought to be welcome to the people, if possible, as a means of effecting the extinction in America of a system of constant te-election.of the Executive and its attendant evils, inasmuch as the’ present plan fails to secure to the community the benefits which ‘were expected from it, or involves the pres- ence of evils greater than those which it was framed to prevent. The writer goes on to say:—‘‘We cannot be surprised that a time should come when ~George Washington’s example in refusing three Presidential terms should be called in question, and when the people of the United States may be asked to express, by a third vote, exceptional confidence in General Grant. It appears from our American correspondent’s special letter that General Grant is not un- willing, and that his friends, who are eager for such a result and are pressing his per- sonal claims to the honor, are considerable ‘both in number and influence. To him be- longs the credit ‘of having cut down the late rebellion against the Union, and the man who has thus saved the country will be taken by many Americans to be presumably the fittest person to govern ity” There can be no doubt that the election of President Grant to a third term of office may have important con- sequences; consequences not intended by those who have suggested it. A third Pres- dential term may be followed by a fourth, and the lease of power may be again renewed until it is terminated only by the failing health or the termination of the life of the holder of withe office. It may well come in this way to be an understood thing that the American Presi- dent shall be elected for life, and that his re-election, taken at the end of each four years ~of the period, will be merely nominal, or, at most, used as asafeguard against the perpe- tration of any scandalous abuse of power. It would be a great and important change, if this were to occur; one that would not fail to largely influence the general state of politics in America. There are many ways in which it might appear desirable. The rule which has been hitherto followed has, certainly, not worked so well that there would seem to be mo room forimprovement. Elections, without limit in number, from the conduct of which the better portion of society is excluded, are not eo great a public good in themselves that ~we should wish them to be preserved in the spirit as in the letter of the wishes of their founders, We may dismiss the notion that ‘despotism would be likely to result from a perpetual re-election of the American ident, although this was a real terror to the minds of the Revolutionary heroes who had just emancipated themselves from the rule of aking. The only question would be whether ‘the new custom of Presidential tenure would tend in any degree to cure the evils of the old ; whether the process of election would be purer when the ultimate prize would be greater and better worth contending for. With all these weapons of argument all must dee pend upon the manner in which any change in the present system is worked, It may in- crease the existing corruption, so far as such achange in the American Presidential elec- tion system is possible. It may, and we be- lieve it more likely would, be beneficial, both in its immediate and more remote conse- quences. it would be likely to secure to the People ‘of the United States the services of better men and to render the process of their ‘*ppointment to office less degrading to them- elves gnd all concerned in it, The details of an American Presidential election are .tead on this side of the Atlantic with amusement x24 disgust, and there are many evidences which go to show that they are looked on in much the same way in America. It would be worth while to try a plan which could do little harm and might do much good. It is the simplest plan of reform which was ever carried out or suggested.” THE INDIAN OCEAN.

Unsettled Condition of Affairs on the Panama Isthmus—Violence and Blood- shed=Two Citizens Shot Dead—The Public Mind Alarmed. . New ORLEANS, Sept. 13, 1873. The British steamer Bolivar arrived here to-day, bringing the following intelligence, dated Panama, September 2, :— The ends of the Aspinwall and Jamaica cable were recovered in mid-ocean August 23, in 1,700 fathoms of water and buoyed. No further commu- cation has been received since that date, CONDITION OF THE ISTHMUS. Since the departure of the steamship Rising Star on the 25th ult. for New York, Panama has been the scene’o! intense political excitement and of more bloodshed. For many years past the society here has not been in a condition so unsettled as at present. Acomplete want of confidence and a feeiing of insecurity prevails throughout the com- munity. TWO CITIZENS SHOT. On the afternoon of the 28th ult, one of the most disgraceful acts of bloodshed known to Panama oc- curred, by which two respectable citizens of Colombia were hurried into eternity, Colonel Usca- tequi and Sefior Manuel de Jesus Bermudez. the facts are as tollows:- Colonel Uscatequl, for two years past, had been commander of the national troops stationed on the isthmus for the protection of the transit of foreign ap ont During the revolution here on the 5th of April last he called out his troops and took an active part in protecting the life of the deposed President of the State of Panama, Gencral Neira; although, as commander of the national forces sent here, in accordance with existing treaties with the United States, for a special na- tional purpose, he had no hs iy todo so. Again, on the 7th of May, he led out his forces against thé revolutionary party, defeated them, and was the cause of the recall and reinstatement of President Netra, who, in the mean: ne, had been banished, After the events of the 7th of May a _ coldness spenng: up between Uscatequi and the government ot Neira, and the latter had sufficient proof of the Colonel's defection, and his collusion with the opposition arty, to feel itself justified in issuing an order jor his arrest. An order was issued by the executive to arrest Uscatequi and place him in confinement. An nour or two later the unfortunate man was sitting in front of the Grand Hotel, when a squad of police, armed with rifles, approached and in- formed him that he was a prisoner. Uscatequi entered the hotel, drew his revolver, and said he would not allow himself to be degraded by such an insult as to be carried to eee by police, but would give himself into custody of any respectable citizen, An oxder was given to take him at all hazards. THE POLICE FIRED ® volley into the hotel at their victim, one shot taking effect 1n his arm and another entering and assing completely througa the body of Manuel de Jesus Bermudez, an innocent spectator, killing him almost ae Uscatequi then fied and tried to make his es- cape, but was met by Mr. Florencis Arosemena, a supporter of Neira’s government, to whom he sur- rendered himself unconditionally. While passing out of the hotel wounded and a prisoner, he was confronted by another squad of police who, re- gardiess of the presence of Mr. Arosemena, FIBED ANOTHER VOLLEY inio the hallway. The shot took effect in the bead of Colonel Uscatequi, and he died in twenty min- utes. This outrage, in a country where the most heinous crime is not punishable with death, 1s severely commented upon by all parties and has unstrang and unsettled political matters more than ever A report from THE VALLEY OF CANCA, In this Republic, is to the effect that the politicians of that State are preparing to invade the State of Panama in order to control the elections ‘here for President of the Union tor the ensuing term. ‘The move will hardly be necessary, as the State of Bayaca has vast its vote for Dr. Santiago Perez, which gives him the vote of five States, wuich is a majority, and he is elected.
