4 SOUTHERN POLITICS, —-—— Party Theories R« garding the Race Conilicts. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? ; ies ‘ The Third Term Movement Fathering Strength. - ITS ADVOCATES INCREASING Ricemonp, August 24, 1874.

I have gone to a good deal of trouble and to considerable expense to obtain a jucid explanation of this problem, and my investi- gation resuits in two conciusions, either of which may be right. They are these:—fhe radical leaa- ers clearly foresee the ultimate ruim of their party on this very civil rights question, but with their usual political sagacity they haye determined, as | a last desperate effort, te turn it to their advan- tage in another way, With this view, on the heels | of the victories in Nortn Carolina, Tennessee 2 Kentucky, they have skilluily and the instigation of conflicts between the races, which they are well savisfed wiil result in bioodshed and slaughter to the negroes in | every ounter that takes place in the South. Hence the affrays at Austin, Somerville, Au gusta and Ridge Spring. What wore potent arguments lor the party orgalis to ral y on at the North than tat there is no protec r the negro in the South; that they are murdered datiy by the reoeis for attempting to exercise vhe right of sutfrage, and that the spilt of rebeiliou is as rampant now as it was in tie early days o1 61? This is the theory of leading Southern politicians whom 1 have consulted, and, though I do not fully indorse it, 1 um hall mciined to believe there are some grains of truth in it. My remaining conclusion is derived from republican Sources, and their theory is, perbaps, more extreme than that just given. Itevinces, too, signs of maniiest alarm tor the salety of ther poiutical party. To the republican leaders in the South, the natives as well as the carpet-naggers, the third term movement in this section is a hyura-leaded mon: which they do not understand. They allege, but with no degree ol coniidence, that the recent con- flicts between the races are the result o1 what they term “the overtures laveiy made by General Grant tothe South, jor the purpose of securing the Southern vote in 1876;" and they point to the or- ganization oj the rife and savre ciuvs Carolina, to the White jeagues in Loutsiana, and other military organizations outside of the militia in other Southern States, as the outcroppings and immediate causes of the lenient and conciliatory policy oi the administration, They go jurther, and say that the conflicts are in every instance brought about by the whites, who in is to become their candidate in 76 that they will not only not brook any Civil Rights law, but that this is a white man’s country, and must be A WHITE MAN’S GOVENSMENT. Which of the theories is correct time alone will develop.

Somehow or other the couveations of the dominant party have, within the last decade, been more sober, more orderly and more deceat in every respect than | those of the democrats, and bow to account | for it I know not. The little conventions for county purposes here of late have been chi ized by a vast expenditure of spread e: eloqnence, uisplays of temper doue up in the fist and put ander an opposition nose, and the calling | of names worthy Of utterance only by pothouse | inmates.

If there ts the semblance of a row it will be among the Philadelphia and Luzerne delegations over that bothersome matter of con- tested seats, which invariably springs up in con- ventions of all political complexions. How the dif- ferences of these parties wili be adjusted of coarse cannot be determined at the present moment, it would appear from the voices ol the leaders of the party that there is no objection to be found to the ticket made out vy the Harrisburg Convention o1 last week. It is consice.ed by the faithful to be about as weak @ programme as could be sirung together, and, in cousequence, gives them encouragement to go in and work with their eK eves ap to win. They say that jor many + TYeat the eid of the opposing party has not pro- duced such @ Pore crop of canditates as is pre- sented this fall, 4nd that there is no question as to | the success of the democratic nominees. It will be inferred from this that there is enthosiasm in the ranks of theold party, and that the sluggish blood of the democrats has commenced to flow with a liveliness that is refreshing. What adds to THE INTEREST OF THI3 CONVENTION is that there is a certainty of one democrat being elected to office, and that ts a Judge of the Supreme Court. A provision of tne new constit Hop erantg each of tne two political parties of the State té pul aman in the Supreme Bench this year, and it fol- Jows that tie person who gets the nomination of either party goes through like a whistle, This absolute assurance of a judgeship makes the nght jor the nomination 1p the democratic ranks much more interesting than it has been ior fliteea years, for candidates during that period nave been put up only to be knocked down one after the other, like the pins 10 @ tenpin alley.

There seems to be no doubt but that Mr. Halsey wili be the nominee, unless he lets the leading spirits of the convention know in advance that he will not ran under any circumstances, something he is by no means likely todo. in the event of vis declining, however, the nomimation would probably go to Congressman Clarke, of Union, who, during “the Greeley craze,” slipped fake Coreree irom a thoroughly democratic dis- trict.

Sr Sr The Third Term—T President Seeks and Obtal Information on the Sub- jJect—The Opinions of Washington, Hamilton, Jefferson and Others of “the Fathers” in Favor of a Third Term— The Idea Not Abandoned by General Grant. LONG Brancn, August 25, 187: It {8 generally supposed that the question of a third Presidential term to General Grant was settled by the late Pennsylvania Republican State Convention in its complete reso!utions in favor of Governor Hartrantt as the republican standard bearer for 1876 and against the recognition of General Grant even as a possible necessity for another trial, But it appears that the General attaches very little importance to those Pennsyl- vania resolutions, or that he regards them only as @ political diversion for present purposes, and thinks that aiter the approaching State elections the friends of the administration will have some- lican party in reference to the next Presidency. But the newspapers and the politicians opposed to the third term have said so much of tue Presi- dential limitation of two terms us established in the examples of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Mouroe and Jackson, that General Grant has thought it nroper to institute an inquiry into these examples, in order to ascertain how far they will Washington has become a taw to the American people as strong as the constitution. ‘The President the other day, accordingly, on fall- ing in with a veteran politician, who has the po- litical history of the country at bis flugers’ ends, requested him to look over tue opinions of Wash- ington and his contemporaries upon this third term question and report a8 soon as he could conveniently the resuits of his re- searches. The veteran politician, being an advocate of a third term in the present case, cheeriuily assumeu the pieasant task assigned him, and alter tue lapse of forty-eigut hours, hav- ing completed his report, went over to the Presi- dent's cottage, and there read it to General Grant, much to his edification «nd satisiaction, Tie argument of the paper, as we are inlorme: was strongly in favor ofa third term to Gen It was thus represented to the President that the force and direction of the current of public | opinion frum its very fountain-heads. A few days | ago, after a brief talk with one of the first public | men of the South, whose views on current political | topics I shall give the readers of the HERALD ina | day or two, I unexpectedly encountered at the | Kimball House General Robert Toombs, always a | typical Southern politician, once the Mirabeau of | the federal Senate, and even now, alter the ter- | rible failure of the revolution which he did so much to inaugurate, no insignificant power in Georgia | politics. Many years have elapsed since [had last | seen the historic General, when, as Confederate | Premier, walking with characteristic insouciance | along the streets of Richmond, in the early days | | of tne war, he used to boast that he “curried the | Confederate Department of State in his coat | pocket.” Despite the changes wrought by time and trials there was no difficulty in recognizing the Toombs of the olden time—negligé in apparel, incandescent and unkempt as ever, and, in the apt phrase of the prize ring, ‘mutilated, but still in the rig.” A HISTORIC FIGURE. As I leisurely approached the veteran politician, and had time to think how wonderfully, under the supervision of some artist gifted with the power | of llustrating history and individual character by attitude, mien and expression, he would serve in fresco as an epitome of the turbulent era of Ameri- can politics, in which he had blazed ike a meteor and had dealt right and left his stalwart blows as | though intrusted with the tilt-haimmer of Vulcan. In brief, the “old man eloquent,” though no | longer Georgia's Senator, menacing abolition sena- tors with the prophecy that he would yet ‘call the | roll of hig slaves on Bunker Hill,” and though now | without tne insignia of power, authority and pubiic | care, still wears the air of one who believes that his sceptre has been wrongfully wrenched trom him ior atime only by some “unlineal hand,” and who sees velore uim the day of certain restoration.

At first | declining to talk at any length upon the ground that he had been so olten unfairly treated by ad- | venturous #ohemians, who had sought his pres- | ence, General Toombs assented to the suggestion | of the HERALD representative that Southern public men must look to the tndependent press of | tie great Northern clties—papers not ran in the | interest of factions and cliques—as a medium of communication between the thought of the South | and that of the rest of the country.

I never shall acquiesce in the fuurveenth and fiiteenth ameudments, and | never shall tolerate the damnable doctrine that there | can be good government where negroes partici- | pate in the shaping of public policy. | NEGROKS AND THIEVES ALLIED. | REFORTER—But, General, uniess you are indulg- | ing in an expression of that vehement and ye heretoiore impotent resentment of the wrongs of | reconstruction so often heard jrom Southern pub- , lic men, I would like to know something about the | quo modo with which you propose to act. | General Toomps—This government is now run small way 100 years ago, when the great philoso- pher of his age was experimenting with natural | appliances which have since revolutionized the world, and now Mr. W. W. Harrail, a merchant | | in high standing in this city, brings it | to public notice again, and projoses, a | | few days hence, to cross Long , Island | Sound to Smithtown Bay, a distance 0! over twenty mules, in a boat. For this purpose he has , caused to be coustructed a kite ten jeet high by elgut feet wide, which he intends to put to use in | drawing him across, The kite is probably the | largest ever made. A triai of its power Was re- cently bad in Fairfield, when it was put up toa | height of 300 feet, required a three-stranded | | hempen cord to hoid, and a tail 100 ieet long to | | balance it, Its appearance near tue Seaside | | Park Base Ball Ground caused discourage- | | ment among tne boys, who thought they knew all about kiting. Mr. Harrall is confident | | Of success, and believes he can make the journey | | in four hours. He will require the wind to north | or north-northwest, blowing fresh, and is Row | waiting proper atmospheric conditions to make | the start. The boat will be open and withont | mast, sail or oars. The departure will draw @ | crowd, Seaside Park, which has a bold shore facing the | Sound and directly opposite the point of destina- tion, will be chosen as the starting point. Curiosity 18 alive to witness this novel scene apd learn the result. | OPENING OF THE COOPER UNION SCHOOLS, | The Free Schools of Science and Art of the | Cooper Union will formally open on the tirst day of | October next; the session to continue until the | end of May.

ABRESTED FOR EMBEZZLEMENT, Josiah Shore, about thirty years of age, lately employed for many years in the stationery estabe | lishment of Corlies, Macy & Co., corner of Nassau | and peiore tong I shall begin it right bere, | breaking down almost entirely by thieves and negroes. ‘The aegro | is not numericaily powerful, but he holds a bal- | ance of power, which makes the thieves who run | toe radical machine North and South deier to his beastly propensitics. ‘nis alliance of negroes and | thieves must be broken up irom base to capital, | ave | made one revolution and J can make another. Yes, sir, right here in Georgia [ shall begin this work o1 driving the negroes and thieves from the national poutical sanctuary. Rerorten—l’ermit me to ask respectfully, Gen- | eral, are tiese what Mr. Choate used to cali “gut- | tering generalities’ in which you are imdulginug, ordo you mean thein as prophecies based upon your Knowledge of some really revolutionary en- terprise for the reliet of the South trom the evils imposed by reconstruction’ } THE DAY OF EXPEDIENTS PAST. | General Toomps—I mean that the day of middle {| men, 0! temporary expedients and of compromise | politicians 1s over in Georgia and the entire South, | and that men of my views and purposes see in the near future a certain plan of reitef which they wilt be swift toembrace. Foois and time servers may | denounce it as revolution: but care nothing ior that, so long as tt is common sense and Ihave the | people of Georgia with in | THE THIRD TERM SCHEME. | This I took to be nothing but the third term idea, Which is now so rapidly growing in the southern mjnd—the notion chat wita Grant for a third term the South Is to be rescued irom furtner | | punitory and oppressive legislation by the repub- ) lican party. Tie sequel proved the correctness of this inference and left no room to doubt Gen- eral Toomos’ own sympathy with the third term | sentiment with the understanding that, if success- nul, it, would give the south relief, Keronrer—General Toombs do you think that | there 18 any third term sentiment in Georgia? Genera| Toomps—Pienty of it, and it is growing | stronger every aay. We are ready to give Grant | any Dumber of terms to make fim our aly in | this infernal government of negroes and thieves, Grant will heip us, I believe, aud with that understanding I am hearnly tor him. You can through the HERALD proclaim it to | the world that we are tired of this } CARNIVAL OF KNAVERY, and that the South ts determined once more to at- tempt @ revolution oa the side of @ pure and honest administration of government. This time we shall succeed, because we shail have the gov- ernment with us, and we shail have wuatever | there is of virtue and decency at the North with us, | REPORTER—I suppose that besides the third term | question there are the usdal local issues im the | canvass soon to open in Georgia. GEORGIA AND HER FIRST LOVE. General Toomps.--Oh, yes. A very encouraging phase of Georgiw politics is the disposition of the people to return to their first love, that is to thelr represeutauive men, Georgia | always did despise mediocrivy, and she is | sick and fared of sending men o1 Clay to Washing- | ton, This was illustrated by Stephens’ election to and Liberty streets, was arrested yesterday by ) Order of Arrest Clerk Quincy on‘an order from the | Supreme Court, cuarged with embezzling the sum Of $35,000 trom nis employers. it appears that the prisoner while absent on @ vacation liad his books examined and the defalcation prougnt to ligne, The above sum was embezzied from the firm dur- | ing a period covering several years, aud bas only | Just been discovered, although \ong since sits | pected. The prisoner was committed to Ludiow Street Jail in defauit of $25,000 ball. Messrs. Cor lies, Macy & Co. deciined to give any turther par- ticalars of the affair than those obtained at the Sheris’s oMice, trated this year by Ben Hill's election in the Athens district. Hill, T think, will be chosen, not #0 much from personal popularity as because the people admire his brains and want to be repre- | sented at Washington by men of intellectual power | and prowess, |” blading me once more to “prociaim to the world rough the HERALD bis purpose never to acqui- | | | Congress last year, and, I hope, will be again illus. | j exce im tho fourteenth and | filteenth amend. | | ments,” General Toombs ciosed the interview vy | reiterating his advocacy of Grant for a third term a8 a means of destroymg au oligarchy of | Knaves resting upon necro suffrage. | apparent, | will deciare himsel! out of the field; but it is wnts- Nee | prove fatal, | 1m a winner, Washington retired at the end of nis second term not from public and politica: but trom private and persoual considerations, that he was, in truth, & supporter oi Hamilton's idea that the President should hold his office during good behavior, ifee, of course, to resign at any time, and suvject to re- moval from disability. Jefferson, it was shown, retired at the end ofhis second term because he had bad enough of the cares, troubles and incessant drudgery of the office, and because in bis privete affairs he had | fallen into such embarrassments during his ab- sence trom Monticello that iis immediate atten- tion to his estates Was necessary tn order to keep a roof over his head. And so on the argument proceeded with the views Oo] Madison, Monroe and others, down to Jackson, who, rom his respect for tic examples of his “illustrious predecessor: never enter. tained a thought of running tor a thira ume, but Was glad to get away Im season to escape the coming financial troubles wich he knew would descend like ab avalanche upon his immediate su cessor. ‘The veteran politician also expounded the con- stitution on the President's term of office. ‘The cons itution says ‘rhe executive power shall be vested in @ President of the United states of | America,” and that “ne shall bold tis office dur- ing the term of four years.” Nothing 18 said avout his re-election to the office. Il, therefore, he may be elected fora second term, he may be elected for @ third, a fourth ana a fifth, i he chooses, by aud with the consent and support of a | majority of the electoral colleges. Such was the constitutional argument of the veteran politician chosen by Geveral Grant to overhaul “the fathers” on the sutject of a tuird | term to the Presidency, and to make a note of their opinions, ‘he report was not intended for publication, but simply for the iniormation of General Grant, it is supposed, in the discussion of the subject with his friends, it is thus however, that he is seriously inclined to this bold adventure of a third term. Otherwise he would not trouble himsell about the | opinions of “the fathers” on the subject, lor Gen- eral Grantis not @ Man who takes upon himself any superfluous labor. It is b«lieved, however, that if the republicans of the Empire State in tne State Convention of September next at Utica de- clare themselves against the dangerous innovation of a third Presidential term to General Grant, ne pered that Senator Conkling has been posted from Long Branch, and that the Utica Conveniion upon the all-important question will say nothing. If dumb, however, its very silence, under the gene- ral agitation of the subject, will be at least equiv: lent LO @ prociamation that the New York repubii- cans are not yet prepared to pronounce General Grant out of tue Presidential fieid for 1876. SAD AOCIDENT IN JERSEY. Fatal Attempt to Ascend the Palisades— Two Brothers Fall When at a Height of 250 Feet. | A sad accident, involving the instant death of a young man and the sustaining of tnjuries which | | | | may prove tatal to another, occurred on the New , |: ¢ Jersey side of the Hudson River, opposite Has ings, Westchester county, on Monday afternoon. it appears that two sons of Mr. Myers, a New York mercnant, residing in the village named, accompanied by a companion named Hopxe, took a rowboat and cressed the river itor tue purpose of chimbing the Palisades, which at that poit rise abruptly from the water toa considerable altitude.
