JUNE 7, 1875.—-TRIPLE SHEET, THE THIRD TERY. Attorney General Pierrepont on the White House Letter, The Executive Neither Oracular Nor Prophetic. OPPOSING VIEWS. Congressman Willis Reading Be- tween the Lines. Views of Senator Thurman on the Cele- brated Document. OPINION OF SENATOR CLAYTON. An Expression from General Grant Before His Original Nomination. The present Attorney General of the United States, Jutge Edwards Pierrepont, believes Presi- dent Grant to be a good soldier, a wise Executive officer and an honest and patriotic man, and he has staked a great deal upon this opinion. His admiration for the President led him from the democratic into tne republicam party and induced him to spend a princely sum toward defraying the expenses of the campaign of 1868, which ended with the first election of General Grant to the Presidency. Since that event he has, pre- sumably, been familiar with the phenomena ofthe Executive mind. Hence it was that the writer called upon him to procure an explanation of that extraordinary letrer which the President recently wrote to General Harry White, the Cnatr- man of the Pennsylvania Republican State Con- vention, Judge Pierrepont’s New York residence | js at No, 103 Fifth avenue, and there the reporter | found the Attorney General about eight o'clock in the evening. Me was suave in manner, and his appearance indicated that he was at peace with himself and the world. He seated himself comfortably m an easy chair, and spoke of several siignt matters in order to approach easily the spectal topic which he expected the reporter to bring into the con- versation. This the latter did as speedily as pos- sible by saying, “Judge, the HBRALD would like to know what you rhink of President Grant’s ‘third | term’ letter to General White?” “1 think,’’ said the Attorney General, “rr SAYS WHAT THE PRESIDENT MEANS; but I can tell you very littie about the document beyond the fact that it was approved by many | prominent gentiemen,’’ “Bat to the ordinary reader, Judge,” said the | reporter, “it {8 a vague and variable paper. One | Portion of 1t apparentiy contradicts the other. If you would kindly explain it the people generally Would perhaps be convinced that the President says in his letter just what he means, and at the same time they would learn what he means,” “Well,” said the new Attorney General, fact is that General Grant did not wish to appear oracular or propheuc. He did not like to seem to peer into the future. lt would not be proper for him to say unquelifiedly that he could never again be a candidate for the Prest- dency. How conid he, without assuming the ridiculous mauner of @ proplet, say that no cir- cumstances would ever arise to make him again a candidate? Ib was, then, out of his desire to avoid aprophetic style that be penned the paragraph aliuded to. Lbelteve that President Grant does not desire te be President again, All bis plans, as they are known to me, have reference to otner probabilities. My own jndgment fs that bis name will not be mentioned in the next Repablican | National Convention as that of @ possible candi- date Jor the Executive position, 1 believe that our nextcandidate for the Presideacy will be somebody wno is not now thought of, It has been tae rule, almost, that the successful candi- dates for the Presidency were lighted upon fore tuttously, or were FORCED UPON THE PARTIES by accidental circumstances, not by tae work of years in the pubjic ctyil service, Mr. Lincoln's nomination 1s an exXemplification of this; James K.P and Franklm.Pierce were beth chosen without forethought by the conventions which nominated them, Ail three were scarcely heard of before they were nominated. When Mr. Lin- coin was first named in the Convention of 1860 very few of the members of that body had ever | heard his name, Yet he was nominated, and then ‘the it was immediately learned that he had made | campaign against Douglas, duriog which he had detiverea very brilliant addresses. I had never neard of Mr. Lincuin belore that time. Itmonly when & m:n Jeaps into prominence suddenly that people discover that be has always been a § man and deserved reward,” | Mr. Pierrepont continued:—“My present im- pression is that at the next Presidential election, or certataly at the one following It, there will be | candidate im support of whom all parties will 1 think that A SECOND ‘ERA OF GOOD PEELING? Isapproaching, and that, as in Monroe's time, we shail soon hate a President who will be the choice of the people literally. The strong, patriotic sen- timent which is being aroused by the revival of memories of the Revoiutionary period is, | am convinced, Working toward this end.” A picture of good will and political content ment among the people was apparentiy aarolied peiore the vision of Met. Pierrepont, end he leaned back a8 if to look at it more easily and calmly. The reporter took ad- vantage Of nis momentary Abstraction to revert to the origimal suojects of remark—Pre: dent Grantand his queer letter—and, therefore, said:—"You do not think, sem, that General | Grant cherishes a wish to be again renominated, and you believe that he desired to avoid being set down as playing at prophecy when he wrote that special paragraph in his letter 1" “I believe that he did not desire to predict any- | thing; that he only wished to overcome present faise wapressions. Me has toid me tis plans for the future, and I cannot consider that he has concealed | anything irom ms. If tie basa wish to be Prest- dent again he must also have @ capability tor de- ception such as no other man ever nad before him.” CONGRESSMAN WILTIS ON GRANT'S EPISTLE, The widespri interest which the ingenions letter of General Grant has created among all our public men is clearly reflected in the views of agree. | Colonel Benjamin A. Willis, Congressman-elect, as given yesterday to a reporter of the Henan, “Colonel, pray tell me what you think of General Grant’s last epistolary effort? “A SPECIAL PLEA.) “J think it is @ special plea, intended to be very ingenious and framed witha view of misicading people as to its real purpose. Right tn the ontset, by the way, General Grant shows a want of com- prenension as to his duty when he says that it 1s beneath the dignity of acitizen of tne Repuptic, bo matter how exalted his position may be, to state precisely his views on any question of public imterest, and more espectally one so momentous as the third tera,” “What do you think of nis willingness to serve his couotry again under certain circumstances GHANT'S HANKERING APTER OFFICE “fle betrays a wanton disregard of the sacred tra- ditions of American history, and those most hignly cherished by the American peopie, as well as of | the glorious axamuie of Washington, Jefferson and | | ofce in motion, | and Jackson, when he tntimates that be would, under any circumstances whatever, become a candiaate for the third term. He says that hedoes not want the office the third time any more than be did the first; but the gross abuses and outrages tuat were perpetrated to secure his re-election ga the American people a just notion of his previous in- difference to the honors and emoluments of the Presidency.” “Do you think General Grant is particnlariy anxious to emulate Washington except as far as his length of service is concerned ?’” “No, and I am convinced that it ts quite as sac- Tilegions to violate the example of Washington and his most illustrious successors, with refer- ence to the third term, a8 it would be to trample upon 4 viral constitusional principle, aud the inti- mation that circumstances could control bis action in that respect betrays his utter unfitness for the lofty position he occupies. The American people, educated by their bitter experience of the last ten years, are now aisinelined to tolerate even a second term.” THK UBKALD'S CHARGES SUSTAINED. “Do you think the letter bears out the original charges of the HERALD that were first so gener- ally sneered at #? “Most decidedly. That letter serves to convince the most sceptical that nis designs upon a third term have ali along been serious. The saving clauses, the contingencies, possibilities, &c., which he so slily and conveniently alludes to, show that the matter of bis re-election for a third term has been seriously entertained by President Grant.’’ “Do you think this missive changes his at- titude bejore tne people so ‘ar as his re-eligibility 18 concerned 2” “You mean whether It puts him out of the polit- ileal field? Certainly not. It leayes him in exactly the same position in which he was before the letter was written, He will still be regarded as @ possible candidate by the norde of oMice- | holders who will undoubtedly attempt te control the next convention.” “Do you think such an attempt may prove suc- cessful!” BRISTOW'S CHANCES. “It ls impossipvle to say, Some strepg current of popular feeling may defeat the purpose of the ofice-nolders and put Bristow in the flela, He wouid undouotedly be the strongest possible oan- didate for the republican party, and unless the record of the next democratic Congress is per- Jectly clear and unexceptionable he might po sibly be elected.” “Do you think General Grant could ever after this letter force his renomination 1” “Yes; [think be could if the popular current set that way; it would depend en many circum- stances. Vopular currents are very strong when If be were nominated in any case | think he would acceat and would be over- whelmingiy defeated”? “Do yoa think any portion of the republican party desires General Granv’s re-election ?? WHO WANTS GRANT? “No, not outside of the ofice-holders and the pensioners on the bounty of the government in general” (with & strong impulse of conviction). “1 desire to add in this connection that I chink there will be a terrible fignt in the next Congress on the question of railroad and other subsidies; and if the democratig Congress does not come unstained out of the ordeai it will share the ig- nominious fate of the last. If the democrats com- mit that fatal error, while the republicans display a desire for continued reforms, Bristow might be elected.” VIEWS OF SENATOR THURMAN AND SENATOR CLAYTON—GBANT AND THE FIRST TERM, WASHINGTON, June 6, 1875. Senator Tourman left for Columbus to-night pre- paratory to taking an active partin the coming campaign in Ohio. During the past week he has been occupied and fatigued in changing his home, having putchased the residence adjoining the house of Governor McCormick, bis son-in-law, which he has bad remodeled and refitted. care incident to this labor bas prevented the Senator trom thinking over seriously the subject of Grant’s third term letter, but to-day he again examined it critically and, as he does not belong to the school of Minnesota Christian statesmen, he was not adverse 10 talking politics, it is a fact nov generally know that Senator Thurman's views of Grant's ambition antedate the natioval discussion of the third term quesvion. It was in November, 1872, within twenty days ir the re-election of Grant, that Judge Thurman said, at @ political conference held im Columbus, tnat Grant would seek repomination for a third term ond, He believed it then for reasons not now necessary to repeat; he believes it now because the President has sald it as plainly and Diuntly as itis possivle for him to say it, Laying aside a copy of the HexALD containing the letter, SENATOR THURMAN SAID Ne did not see how there could be two opinions about the letter. It 18 @ plain submission of the question whether he shall be re-elected for the third term to the people, who, he says, alone have the right to decide itin the absence of any constitutional proaibition. It utterly repudiates the idea that Woat has been called THE UNWRITTEN LAW of the Republic has anything to do with the ques- tion, ‘There is no reference to the example set by | former Presidents, Dor any intimation thatany | respect 1s due to the usage which has heretofore prévailed, On the contrary he says that the question of the number of terms allowed to any one executive can only come up fairly in the and would urge it just as strongly as he did a sec- | shape of a proposition to amend the constitution, | that, until such an amendment is adopted, tue people cannot be restricted in their choice by resolution further than they are now re- stricted as to age, nativity, &c., and he expresses the opinion that it May happen in the future pis- tory #f the country, that to change an executive because he has be prove unfortunate if not disastrvus; and finally he gives the people to understand that, under anch circumstances as to make it am imperattve duty, he would accept the nomination again, It is true eight years in omMce wili | he says such circumstances are not likely to | arise, bat is it mot obyious that should he be re- nominaied he would consider that such circum: | stances had arisen? Its idle to call the withdrawal of Grant from the fleid. tier a He says that he 1s nots candidate for a renomination, but im | the same sentence he tells us that he never has | been, and in the same paragraph ne gives us to uuderstana that ander certain circumstances he would AGAIN ACCEPT A NOMINATION, And it is not to be overlooked ¢ contains a natrative of bis sacrifices, whica looks very much like au appeal to the sympathies of we peoples In answer to a question what he thought would be the effect of the letter, the Senator said that the republicans in the Northern States woulda | assume that it is a withdrawal of Grant and ant-thira term resolations coupled with lauda. tions of Grant, such as had been passed in Penn- | sylvania apd Unio, will probably be adopted by ine republican conventions of nearly all the Northern States. But no such resoluuons are likely to be adopted by repablicam conventions at the South, and even were the Republican National Conven- tion te meet to-morrow the chances are that Grant would have EVSRY VOTE OF THE SOUTHERN STATES, and would need only forty-seven more to secure bis renomination. CORRESPONDENT--Do you think Grant estimates his own strength to be necessary for the success of the republican party ? “Ll bave no aonbt,” said the Senator, “that Grant considers himself the strongest man In the republican party, and firmly believes that in the event of his renomination he would be re-elected." ConresronDENT—What, in your opinion, induced Grant to write the letter ? SENATOR—You can judge of that as well as I can. It has been suggested that he thought tt would put a stop to the passage of anti-third-term reso- lutions at the North, If that was the idea it will not pe realized, but | think that he meant to let the anti-third-termers know that he could not be roiled out by resolutions. You will observe that he takes care to tell them that the PEOPLE CANNOT BE RESTRICTED tay in their chotes uy resolution, What is this bat | the ietter | | x MORE SUPERB PRESENT CANNOT BE KS: saying to the anththird-term platform makers, “Resolve away as much as you please, tae people will decide the question when the prover time comes.” “This is the way 1t looks to me,” said the Seuator with emphasis. “Instead of being a sur render it 18 adeflance, Its tone, inatead of being submissive, 1s contemptuous. Grant is @ brave map, and I think be meant to write and did write brave, deflant lever.” Is 18 Senator Thurman’s opinion that the One Democratic State Convention, which meets at Columbus on the 17th inst., will construe the lestes as a bid Jor a renomination, and that the platform adopted by that Convention will as emphatically condemn the letter as it did last year the question ofa third term for anyvody. VIEWS OF SENATOR CLAYTON, Senator Clayton, of Arkansas, thinks the lettes was unnecessary, and does not beileve the repub- lican party would renomiuate Grant under any circumstances, He does not think Grant desires it, and is convinced the sentiment of the country 1s as strong as ever against a third term, In 1868 Judge Woodbridge, of Vermont, was member of Congress {rom that State and on im timate terms with General Grant. The night be fore the National Repubiican Convention met at Coicago Mr. Woodbridge was visiting the General at his residence on I street, when the subject of accepting the nominatiou, which Grant regarded as equivalent to election, was discussed at some length. WHAT GRANT SAID. General Grant said, substantially, that ne aid not desire the position of President; that he then occupied an oMce for life, through the kindness of the people, beyond his deserts, giving him the highest social position and pay sufficient for all nis necessities; that his life having been spentin the army might ft him for the position which he then held, and that, by reason of such a iife, ha had not in any way devoted bimseif to politics of the study of those subjects which make men statesmen. Mr. Woodbridge says he replied tnat his nomina- tion was tnevitabie and that tne American people would insist upon his acceptance. General Grant spoke honestly and feelingly, He thought then, and now thinks, tuat the poming tion of some other person at Chicago would pave pleased him and that be would not care to again accept the cares of the Presidential office.
