The Third Term.
Encouraged by the promptin
sensational journals as the CoL
nal, New York Herald and a f<
discussers of political movema- 1
perhaps with a view of conciliating t,
who is just now a little refactory e
cal harness, the Washington V i,
e National Republican, has an edit, al
which the bait of a third term is i id
out to Grant. After discussing the claims
and prospects of various aspirants for the
Presidency, the editor concludes in this
way: “But what of Gen. Grant? Friend
and foe alike, the most thoughtful men
of all parties concede that if the Presi
dent battle of 1870 were to be fought
is year, no candidate upon any platform
oo d defeat him. Is it not probable that
bo will be stronger then than he is now?
I 10 ““S* or decbne a renomination?
" lU “6 do as Jefferson did, and put it
away from him? Will he force hie re-
nomination? Will he quarrel with his
party? Will his party dare to quarrel
with him? Will he found a new party ?
Will he simply content himself with-dic
tating his successor, end, if so, who will
it be? These be enigmas which no in
genuity can solve, and so the whole
Presidential question remains a mystery
and a speculation. One lesson, however,
can be drawn from it—that it is all non
sense to talk about the death of a party
whose official head can, it is admitted on
all sides, be re-elected for a third term
almost without opposition, and in spite
of all the traditions of our politics.”
The St. Philips Canal Bill.—The St.
Philips canal bill, which passed the
House last week, meets with opposition
in the Senate Committee on Transporta
tion. The committee had the bill under
consideration on Thursday last. There
were six members present, Conkling,
Sherman and Johnson being absent. The
vote first stood three against three, the
ayes being Windom, West and. Conover,
and the nays Norwood, Davis and Mitch
ell. Subsequently Conover withdrew his
vote, leaving the committee two for and
three against the canal. This action be
coming known to the Louisiana delega
tion they asked for a hearing before the
committee on the following day, which
Senator Windom accorded.
China as a Boeboweb.—Some time
since, in giving the figures of national
securities held in London, mention was
made of China as the only important na
tion not included as a borrower. It now
appears that this exception is not to con-
tinue. The rumor is that the Emperor
of the Chinese intends to seek for mate
rial aid in the London market; in other
words, intends to assimilate with the
Christian and civilized nations by going
into debt. This would seem to be one of
the paramount laws of civilized people,
who all have become borrowers. It would
seem to imply that national expenditure,
from one or many causes, is not limited
to the national means when the incentive
to a competitive progress has arisen.
How Thex Voted.—It seems that the
Georgia Badicals, Freeman, of the Ninth,
and the young amateur statesman who at
present wrongfully occupies the scat of
Hon. Morgan Bawls, the legally elected
Ilepresentative of this Congressional Dis
trict, both voted for Beast Butler’s
motion to take up the civil rights bill on
Monday last. Having thus betrayed and
insulted the white people of Georgia,
whom they falsely pretend to represent,
they should be spurned by all respectable
white men and women and consigned to
that social level to • which, in order to
secure the negro vote, they would degrade
their own race.
Sijppeby Dick.—The Bodical leaders
in the Second Distjiet have already be
gun to raise the political dust. Promi
nent among those who aspire to Congres
sional honors are Dick Whitely and a
party of the name of Hyer. It is said
that Hyer is organizing things with much
briskness. The Valdosta Times, how
ever, is of the opinion that the opposi
tion to Whitely is all pretence, and ar
gues with reason that it is merely for the
purpose of throwing the Democrats off
their guard. A division would be a good
thing to take advantage of, but in the
meantime the Democrats will do well
to keep an eye on Slippery Dick.
The Seer of the Courier jonrnalj
Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-
Journal, still adheres to his third term
spectre. He declares that he was, the
first person to suggest the danger of im
perialism coming upon the country in the
guise of a third term, which he did in a
letter from Paris about a year ago, and
refuses to be laughed out of his fears.
He says: “ We do not mean to be sensa
tional We mean every word we say.
Lunatic we may be; but not a conscious
imposer upon the credulity of any one.
The Democratic party shows no signs of
substantial life. It is at this moment
half ready to take Grant as its nominee,
which is really, after all, the only sure
way of beating him. The Bepublicans
and the Liberals are at sea. The only
strong party, compact party—the only
party with an aim, a motive and a
method—is the Grant party, silently and
watchfully working beneath the surface
of affairs. The fall elections are going
by default. The source of the next
House of Bepresentatives, which may
have to elect the next President, is thus
far-’a. muddle. Even the Democrats in
Congress, who have a personal interest in
the matter, flit about like droning bee
tles.”
If Grant is ever emboldened to make
the experiment of a third term it will be
in a great measure owing to the prompt
ings of just such political blatherskites
as the editor of the Courier-Journal. If
every editorial acrobat in the country,
who desires to keep himself in the
mouths of the political gossips and won
der mongers, will continue to persuade
the people that Grant is plotting for a
third term; that there is no party in the
country to oppose him; that he is com
plete master of the situation; that the
spirit of Bepublicamsm is dead, and that
the people are ready to accept personal
government, it would not be surprising
if they should succeed in tempting
him to the desperate venture. The
course of the editor of the Courier-
Journal is certainly very extraordinary.
Continually harping on the certain ten
dencies towards a third term and the ulti
mate establishment of imperial despotism
on the ruins of our Bepublican system of
government, he has never accompanied
his warnings with any suggestions as
to the best means of averting the im
pending evil. His arguments are all to
show that the re-election of Gen. Grant
to a third term is inevitable, and that
any attempt to _p re vent it in the pres
ent attitude of parties, would be ut
terly futile. This looks very much as if
the wish were father to the thought—
as if he would rather aid the consumma
tion he affects so much to dread than
assist in preventing it.
The editor of the Courier-Journal may
not be a lunatic, but he is certainly given
to strange vagaries and “new departures”
in politics. It will be remembered that
he was one of the foremost in that suici
dal movement which made Horace Gree
ley the candidate of the Democracy in
the last ^residential election. He took
much credit to himself for his part in
that achievement, and gloried in utter
stultification and the disgraceful com
promise of Democratic principles. The
Democratic editor who could heartily em
brace Greeleyism in 1673 would find little
difficulty in secretly favoring Grantism
now. The man who could play the vol
untary traitor to the Democracy then, is
capable of being a traitor and a spy in
the Democratic parnp now.
But as the sofcr of the Courier-Journal
proved to be a false prophet in the last
Presidential election, we have no reason
to place implicit faith in his present
prognostications. If he is not a lunatic,
he is not an unfailing oracle. If we
mistake not the signs of tho times, he
will have some new revelations between
now and the time for making the next
Presidential nominations. He will dis
cover this fall “signs of substantial life ”
in the Democratic party, and furthermore
ho will find that devotion to the true
principles of free, constitutional govern
ment, is not yet extinguished in the hearts
of the American people, who at the first
earnest of treason to the Bepublic will
rise as one man to crush the betrayers of
their blood-bought liberties.
The political pot seems to be boiling.
We hand the following paragraph, from
the New York Sun, of Wednesday last,
over to the public in all its pristine com
pleteness: “More than three weeks ago
persons enjoying relations of peculiar in
timacy with President Grant attributed
to him a purpose of vetoing the civil
rights bill, advocating the resumption of
specie payments at a very early day and
separating himself from the Bepublican
party. Possibly recent events may be
interpreted as forming the commence
ment of this complex operation.”
It would appear to be understood in
Washington political circles that, whilst
Congress declines to expel Mr. Cannon,
the polygamous delegate from Utah, yet
the sentiment against him is so strong
that he will not return to take his seat
after this session. Cannon himself has
expressed the ojiinion that another Mor
mon hegira will result from the course of
Congress toward his people. The sug
gestion arises that, as the Indians are pol
ygamists, and the government provides
reservations, guns, blankets, breech-
clouts, medals and annuities for them,
why not treat the Mormons in the same
way ?
Stobm.—According to current report,
Col. Victor Hugo Sturm, of Macon, is
the gayest Lothario known to sacred or
profane history. The Borne Courier hoe
the authority of a gentleman well known
in Georgia, that the Colonel wasin Texas
in May last gandaleering around another
man’s wife; and the Courier’s informant
has boon told that Sturm not only has a
wife and two children in Louisville, but
that ho has another wife and two addi
tional children in St. Louis. Truly, the
vicissitudes of life are alarming.

The Grant Parish Cases.
The jury in the Grant Parish (Louis
iana) cases brought in a verdict at eight
o’clock Monday night. Cruikshank,
Kadnot and Irwin are guilty of conspir
acy, and recommended to the mercy of
the court. Of the other charges they are
found not guilty. Tho remainder are
acquitted. All the prisoners were again
locked up, to be tried on other indict
ments similar to those upon which they
have just been tried. The penalty for
conspiracy is not over $5,000 fine or ten
years’ imprisonment, or both. The ver
dict—which excites much indignant com
ment in New Orleans—was not reported
in our press dispatches, but it was subse
quently announced that an appeal had
been taken, which was to be argued ou
the 20th.
Of the three prisoners found guilty,
Wm. Cruikshank is a native of this State,
aged 51, with a wife and large family;
John Hadnot, a native of Texas, aged 19,
married, and a father,and William Irwin,
a native of Alabama, aged about 33, also
married and having a family.
The defense admitted that two of these
were in the fight, Hadnot and Irwin. On
the part of Cruikshank, it was shown that
he had entered Colfax after the court
house was burnt to save a negro's life
and had left immediately. The other
prisoners all proved alibis.
The Times says: “Justice Bradley, of
the Supreme Court, has promised to re
turn to the city, and in consultation with
Judge Woods hear a motion in arrest of
judgment, testing the jurisdiction of the
United States Court and the constitution
ality of the KnKInx act, so that this ques
tion can reach the Supreme Court.”
A letter from Frankfort to the New
York Herald, states that the bonds of the
Brunswick and Albany Railroad, illegally
issued by Bullock, and which the Georgia
Legislature has since refused to recognize,
are quoted at three cents on the dollar.
This statement would seem to convey the
idea that the bond ring have lost all hope
of being able to cajole or corrupt a Geor
gia Legislature, and that it is to their in
terest to part with these spurious obliga
tions at their real value. Three cents is
a good round figure for them, in view of
the fact that they are not worth the paper
upon which they are printed, and we
would advise Clews and his confederates
to unload before the market declines.—
Augusta Chronicle.
There is talk of sending Sawyer, the
disgraced ex-Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury, to represent the United States
as Minister to the Court of Vienna. Why
not? A Senate that sent Sickles to
Spain shouldn’t decline Sawyer. The
two are of a kind. They are fruit and
flower of that tree of corruption whose
branohes have spread from Washington
to the remotest quarters of the earth.

Whether an alliance has been effected be

The Proposed New District Govern

Thursday for an ad interim government
for the District of Columbia until Con
gress shall provide a permanent one. It
wipes out the Governorship, Board of
Public Works, Legislative Assembly and
delegate to Congress, but excepts the
term of office of the present delegate. It
authorizes the President to appoint three
commissioners (to be confirmed by the
Senate) to perform the duties now per
formed by the Governor and Board of
Public Works, but they are restricted
from making contracts or incurring any
obligations other than may be necessary
to the execution of existing legal obliga
tions and contracts, and the protection or
preservation of improvements existing or
commenced. The Commissioners are
authorized to abolish any office, reduce
the number of employes, or make ap
pointments; and the compensation of all
employes, except school teachers, are re
duced twenty per cent. An army en
gineer officer appointed by tho President
is to perform the duties heretofore de
volved upon the engineer of the Board
of Public Works. The rate of taxation
upon real estate in Washington is fixed
at $3 on the $100; in Georgetown, $2 50;
in the county, $2. A joint committee of
two Senators and two Representatives,
appointed by the presiding officers of the
two Houses, are to prepare a suitable per
manent frame of government for the
District, and report on the first day of the
next session of Congress.
AH the European Powers have agreed
to send delegates to an International
Conference in Vienna, which is to con
sider measures to prevent the spread of
cholera. The idea is good. Choleia can
be easier prevented than cured. The
adoption of rigid quarantine regulations
byj the governments of Europe will go
far to protect the Western Continent
from further ravages of cholera.
Professional Base Ball in Philadel
phia.—The All-Pay City Item of Phila
delphia says that the professional base
ball season this year has been a failure in
Philadelphia; and the failure is not unde
served, as ruffianism, gambling, blas
phemy, and other objectionable features
have characterized the contests from the
outset.
The Cincinnati Enquirer is of the opin.
ion that “wbat the President’s veto failed
to do to completely sever the Republican
party, his extraordinary, unprecedented
and impertinent letter on the financial
measures before Congress has done. If
Grant has severed the Republican party,
he must go down to posterity a greater
splitter than Lincoln—he only split rails,
while Grant splits his party.
Indianapolis, June 14.—The crop re
turns and special returns in relation to
the tobacco crop in Kentucky, Southern
Ohio, Indiana and Tennessee are such as
to make the outlook a very bad one.
Aside from the late frosts, the hug, fly
and other insects have been very de
structive. No transplanling had been
done up to June 1st, the ground being
too dry. It seems to be the general
opinion among growers and dealers that
the prospects are in favor of more than
one-half to two-thirds of last year’s crop.
Much damage is reported as done by the

CAPITAL AND CONGRESSIONAL NOTES.
Washington, June 13.—The Virginia

has been appointed general Southern
agent of the line.
Senate.—The Committee on Privileges

at large in Alabama.
The Finance Committee reported ad
versely on a bill for abatement on repay
ment of taxes on bonded spirits destroyed

at St. Louis, $750,000; Custom House at
Knoxville, Tenn., furniture, etc., $20,000.
The House adjourned without finishing
the bill, and pending an amendment to
abolish the civil service commission.
The additional section to the Freed
man’s Savings Bank bill agreed upon by
the Conference Committee is as follows:
“That the deposits and all investments
made shall be held for the use and benefit
of the depositors only. The trustees are
required, on or before July, 1875, to make
a full statement of assets and liabilities,
and lay the same before the Secretary of
the Treasury, who, if he thinks the bank
solvent, shall issue an order declaring
that thereafter all deposits shall be gen
eral.”
FRENCH POLITICS.
Paris, June 12.—The measures adopted
by the govervment to prevent a repetition
of the scenes of yesterday and Thursday
at the Western depot proved effectual.
At noon, the hour of the departure of
the deputies’ train, there was no more
than the usual bustle at the station. St.
Croix was brought before the police court
for assaulting Gambetto, and sentenced
to six months’ imprisonment and to pay
a fine of two hundred francs; also ordered
to pay the costs of his trial. He declined
to accept legal assistance. The rioters
who were arrested on Thursday evening
were sent to prison for terms ranging
from one week to one month.
It is reported that the violence of' the
Bonapartists during the past few days is

Dr. Sclienck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Sea
Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills.
These medicines have undoubtedly performed
more cures of Consumption than any other remedy
known to the American public. They are com
pounded of -vegetable ingredients, and contain
nothing which can be injurious to the hnman con
stitution. Other remedies advertised as cores for
Consumption, probably contain opium,which is a
somewhat dangerous drag in all cases,and if taken
freely by consumptive patients, it most do great
injury; for its tendency is to coufiue the morbid
matter in the system, which, of oourse, must
make a cure impossible. Schenck/s Pulmonic
Syrup is warranted not to contain a i article of
opium. It is composed of powerful bnt harmless
herbs, which act on the longs, liver, stomach and
blood, and thus correct all morbid secretions, and
expel all the diseased matter from the body. These
are the only means by which Consumption can be
cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea
Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the only
medicines which operate in this way, it is ob
vious they are the only genuine cure for Pul
monary Consumption. Each bottle of this in
valuable medicine Is accompanied by fall direc
tions. Dr. Schenck is professionally at his prin
cipal office, corner Sixth and Arch streets, Phila
