porters the last few weeks trtremjg
about and interviewing people on tbeit
views about General Grant's third tertn.
Cffisarisoi and the Empire in genenfl.
Having exhausted Northern notabilities
on these points the interviewers have
got down into Virginia end got held of
two tough old eases at the Montgomery
White Sulphur Springs in the persons
of Ex-Governor Letoher and Admiral
Senimes:

Correspondent—Governor, have you
read the recent discussions in the news
papers on Ctrsurism, or a third term for
General Grant?
Governor—1 hare not; I havo heard
of it, though. I do not pay much at

interest me very little.
^ Correspondent—Is it your lmpres-
siim that General Grant will be elected
.-) for a third term ?
Governor—Certainly, if he wants it.
I have no doubt whatever of that now.
Correspondent—What arc your rea
sons for thinking so ?
Governor—My reasons are very few.
Grant has the power, and if he chooses
to exercise it he can very easily hove
himself elected ; and, besides, the .Re
publican party of the North intend to
run the government and keep the spoils
among themselves, and
GRANT SUITS THEIR PURPOSES
as well as any other man they could
pick up—perhaps a great deal better.
At least, they have tried him, and so
far he has succeeded in pleasing the
leader* of the party by whom he is sur
rounded admirably. 1 do not think
they would risk nominating anybody
else.
Correspondent—Assuming, then, that
Grunt will be elected to a third term,
ili) you regard that as an approach to
Caesarisui or empire ?
Governor—I do, unquestionably.
The Government, as it is now adminis
tered, is moviug rapidly in that direc
tion, and the election of Grant to a
third term will be a stride that but too
plainly
INDICATES THE ROAI) TO EMPIRE.
Correspondent—Do you think the
people of the North would submit to be
so easily deprived of their liberties?
Governor—Oh, yes. They have
looked so calmly and quietly on while
usurpation and tyranny have been
heaped‘and piled on the Southern peo
ple that they have intuitively become
inured to despotism, and were the yoke
of an American-Caesar fastened upon
them to-nii.mnv they would submit with
all the grace aud ease of the most ab
ject and willing slaves.
Correspondent—Rut Governor, they
eau scarcely be so insensible to and for
getful of their past traditions, of the
glorious liberties achieved by their fore
fathers and of that independence which
is the boast of every American as to al
low all to pass away without striking a
blow ?
Governor—That is all very well; hut
this march towards empire has begun
so well, it has crept along so insidious
ly. manacle after manacle has been so
well and securely fastened on, the dear
est and cherished ,■
RIGHTS OF THE STATES
have been so willingly surrendered, and
barrier after barrier to imperialism has
vicldod so easily that the announcement
of an empire would be only a simple
matter m mirptise among the Northern
people. As to resistance to the federal
government, if Grant assumes the role
of t>esar Dictator, or Emperor, the
Yankees would never dream of it.
Correspondent—Do vou think then
that (3rant.aspires to Caesarism or at
least to a thitri term ?

Correspondent—How could the pa
triotic feeling of the anti-war period be
best restored in the South ?
Governor—It can only be done by
simple kindness on the part of the Gov
ernment. We must not be rebuffed and
insulted on all occasions as we have
been. We must be allowed some par
ticipation in the Government. If the
Government has no respect for the Gov
ernment, and in such a government
there is no stability. We want to be
restored to all the privileges and rights
to which under the Constitution we are
entitled, and when this is done, my word
for it, there will be as strong and patri
otic a feeling iti the South as ever ex
isted in the palmiest days of the Re
public.
At the conclusion of our interview,
the Governor, who, notwithstanding his
prejudices, is one of the joliiest and
most hospitable of Virginians, invited
me to the saloon.
The next prominent ex-Conlederate
officer that I met was that remarkable
and singular looking gentleman,
RAPHAEL SEMMES,
of the cruiser Alabama notoriety. In
the midst of notables he attracts atten
tion, and In a crowd of a thousand the
eye would at once single him out as an
odd and curious specimen of humanity.
He is of medium height, slender but
wiry build and he walks with the slight
est inclination of the head forward.
Rut the head and features are a study
for an artist. The head is small, but
well shaped, covered by thin, iron-gray
hair, cut somewhat in military style,
but too long, straggling loosely over his
temples, ears, shirt collar, and parted
at the back, though not in the most ar
tistic manner. The forehead is low
nd deep furrowed ; the eyes gray and
fiery, thenusethc very slightest retrov.se.
nothing remarkable about the mouth,
chin small, bushy gray brows surmount
the curious eyes, and a fierce looking
mustache and imperial ornament to the
upper and lower lips. Put all these on
a bumpy, weather-beaten face of a pur
plish hue, with cheeks a little sunken,
and a dim idea of Semmcs’ physiogno
my may be conceived, lie wears
a beaver high on the back of his head,
low on the forehead, exposing a small

coat, light colored vest and pants, shoes
or gaiters, and a walking cane or um
brella complete liis attire—a model re
tired old salt, and a picture for T. Nast.
Walking up to Mr Seminee in the
hotel office 1 introduced myself as a
Herald correspondent, and asked the
favor of a few minutes’ conversation.
He straightened himself up, and in a
dignified manner, replied:
THE DIM FUTURE.
Senimes—Sir, I am nothing but a
plain citizen, practicing law in Alabama.
I have nothing to say that could inter
est auybody politically. I have noth
ing to do with the politics of our State,
and 1 wish to have nothing to do with
politics whatever.
Correspondent—But, Admiral, it is
not polities so much that I wish to ask
you about. I merely wished to ascer
tain your opinion as to the destiny of
the country, whether it is going to re
main a republic or will it be converted
into an empire ?
Senimes—That, sir, remains to be
seen. It is very uncertain what the
destiny of the country will be.
Correspondent—You have, doubtless,
seen the discussion in the newspapers
on the subject of Caesarism ?
Senimes—Yes, sir, I have.
Correspondent—Do you think Gen
eral Grant will be elected to a third
term ?
Senimes—I have no doubt that, if
General Grant wishes it. he can be

sacrifices takes place.
For the sacrifice called the Men-hoo-
who, the king reclines on a wicker
work lounge in his palace. He wears
only a blue cotton robe as he considers
his dignity so great that he can afford
to dress in ordinary clothing. Neither
the king nor the members of the royal
family ever dress in gaudy attire.
Above the King’s head an umbrella
is extended, and this is gorgeous with
scarlet, blue and yellow figures, cut out
with a knife from velvet, silk and dam
ask. The Amazons sew the pieces to
gether so as to form emblematic devices.
The bird is indicative of royalty None
but the princes of Dahomey are allowed
to adopt it. The top of the umbrella is
surmounted by a wooden ornament, rep
resenting a man with a bird in his hand.
The Atnazons are seated around the
King. Between them and the people a
number of bamboo rods are placed in a
line upon the ground. Any man who
crosses one of those rods suffers imme
diate death. Soldiers bring in the vic
tims—slaves taken in war, and gener
ally old men. They are gagged by
means of a stick with grass rope wrap
ped round it, which fills up the whole
mouth, and is tied at the back of the
head. Their hands are fastened togeth

which are carried on the soldiers’ head'

In 1556, Menno published a book
entitled “Elements of the True
ChrUtian Faith,” which is still re
garded as standard theological au
thority among his followers. The
main points held by the Mennonites
are these: Opposition to oath-taking
of all kinds,and every species of war
and revenge. They permit no di
vorce except for adultery; reject in
fant baptism, and decline to exercise
the duties of magistrates on the
ground that the magistry is purely
secular and can have nothing to no
with the church of Christ. They be

that he has frequently looked into a

The present king is more merciful
than his predecessors. He is endeav

the country.
He generously spares the lives of half

The Colored Ken's Berolt
The late convention of colored men
at Chillicothe, Ohio, has been designa
ted as one of the most remarkable as
semblages ever seen in Ohio. Indeed,
it was one of the most remarkable
known in the history of the Republican
party for some years past. It was a
convention of the best class of colored
men is the West, brought together )o
revolt against the dictates of the Re
publican leaders, who, since slavery
died, have kept the negro in worse
bondage than ever.
The proceedings of the convention
point to an open rupture in time be
tween the colored men and the Radicals.
The latter are having their pet scheme
of equality brought home to them in a
disagreable manner. They are begin
ning to find that it means social and po
litical equality, and that the negroes, as
long as they fight under the banner of
the Republicans, expect to share tho
material benefit of' the principles
claimed to be the corner stone of that
party. Information from Washington
has been received to the effect that sev
eral of the leading lights belonging to
the colored element of the Radical par
ty there have, in imitation of the col
ored people in Ohio, come to the con
clusion that to carry out completely the
principles of their party it is necessary
that they shall cut themselves entirely
aloof from their white brethren, and
put none but Africans on guard. The
determination to inaugurate a black
man’s party causes a very disagreeable
sensation in the Radical party, and is
destined to make a very serious split,
as it will not confine itself to & local
character, but is certain to spread
through the States.

through his functions on their hood*

and began at the same time one of his

“Cut it abort."
