f£he l§trald. J. 11. PARK. - - . Proprietor H. n. WEAVER, - - Editor. THURSDAY JUNE 10. 1875. CElX’m LKTTICK IJPOX A ‘Tnißli TERM.” We publish flit* communication in Ml, in another column, Tt was ad dressed to General White. President of the late Pennsylvania Republican State Convention. Tt has created almost as great a stir in political circles as Gen Sherman’s late Rook. Our exchanges from all quarters are filled with all sorts of com ments upon it. Some give it one con struction. while others give it another. We present it to our renders that they uwy judge of it for themselves. The New York Herald looks upon it ns the embodiment of “Cacsarism,” while the Washington Chronicle, the organ of the Radical Party at the seat of Gov ernment. seems to regard it as an ex plicit withdrawal, on the part of Gen Grant, from the Presidential canvass next year. So far as our own individual opin ions are concerned, we need barely add, that we look upon the letter ns a very plain matter of fact production, and that it means just what it says, nothing more and nothing less. W e earnestly hope that the contingency, under which he says ho might be in duced to run for tlio Presidency again, may never again occur. The Pennsylvania Convention, to the President of which the letter was directed, adopted a very decided reso lution against running any man for a “third term in the Presidential office,” the Ohio Republican State Convention has also adopted a similar resolution. We certainly have no reason to com plain of the letter, or the action of these respective bodies upon a third term.— Grant out of the way, we think the De mocracy, upon “a straight out” line of policy, will have but little difficulty in rescuing the Government from Radical misrule, and resturing lt administra tion to the principles on which it was founded, and on which the country was happy and prosperous before it fell into the hands of usurpers.

I am anxious to announce, through ynur columns, to the pcop'e of Greene, since she. by her representa tive, took a part so prominent. As might be expected, the young men of Greene have imbibed the spiiit of the good people of that county, in willing ness to enter into and promote the object of every praiseworthy enterprise. Our young friend, John McWhorter, endowed to a great extent, with that laudable spirit, entered into the contest for the Medal, at the solicitation of ma ny friends, and to-day’s voting declares in favor of his victory bv a hand“ome majority. Greene should be proud of a represf ntative whom one of these time honored institutions declares to be her champion in debate. John is now studying law. We pre dict for him success. Before closing my letter, let me ex press my gratification at, the manner in which the citizens of Greene entertain ed the delegates to the late .Sahbatb School Convention held at Union Point, Although I was not present on the oe easion, yet, I have heard the delegates from this locality speak highly of the royal entertainment received at their hands. Through their kindness, gen erosity and hospitality, they have added to their already enviable reputation.— Tn enterprising spirit and iu a desire for promoting the temperance and reli gious cause. Greeue is second to no county in Georgia. Iu bigness of heart and goodnoss of soul, her people have no peers. H. C. J. GRANTS LETTER. Executive Mansion, \ Washington, May 20 1875. ) Dear Sir, —A short time subs* quent to the Presidential election of 1872, the press, a portion of it ho-file to the Republican party and partieu t..l.„ e, to tlio AJ'inilsu„,i, in started m and th tim-,1 term, me to and s"° , 'y position aft the fatter subject. 1 ib-v 1 it to be beneath the dignity tJ , „• ~, - , i— ■ wice call the office which 1 hn n „a upon io u.i, to answer such a ques tion before the subject should be pre sented by competent authority to make a nomination, or by a body of sueti dig nity and party ami authority as not to make reply a fair subject of ridicule In fact, l have been surprised that so many sensible persons in the Republi can party should permit their enmity to force upon them and their party an is sue which can not add strength to the party, no matter how met. But a body of the dignity and authority of a con vention to make nominations for the State officers of the second State in the Union having considered this question. I deem it not improper that 1 should now .-peak. In the first place, I never sought the offiee for a second nor even for a fiist nomination. To the first, I was called from a life position,one created by Con gress expressly for me, for supposed services rendered to the Republic. The position vacated, I liked. It would have been most agreeable to me to have retained it until sueh time as Con gross might have consented to uiy re. tirement, with the rank and a portion of the emoluments which I so much needed, to a home where the balance of my liajs might be spent in peace and the enjoyment of domestic quiet, retir ed from the cares which have oppress ed me so constantly now for fourteen years. But I was made to believe that the public good called me to make the sacrifice. Without asking the office for the see* ond time, the nomination was tendered to me by a unanimous vote of the dele gates of all the States and Territories, selected by tne Republicans of each to represent their whole number for the purpose of making their nomination I can not say that I was not pleased at this, and at the overwhelming indorse meat which their action received at the election following, but it must be re membered that all the sacrifices except that of comlort had been made in ac cepting the first term. Then, too,such a fire of personal a use and slander had been kept up for four years, notwith standing the conscientious performance ot my duties to the best of my under standing—though I admit, in the light of subsequent events, many tioies sub ject to fair criticism —that an indorse ment from the people, who alone gov ern republics, was n gratification that it is ouly human to appreciate and en joy. Now, the third term, T do not want it any more than T did the first. I would not write or utter a word to change the will of the people in expr es sing an 1 having their choice. The question of the number of terms allow ed to any one Executive can only come up fairly in the shape of a proposition to amend the Constitution—a shape in which all political parties cat, partici pate —fixing the length of time or the number of terms for which anv on person shall be eligible for the office of President. Until sueh an amendmnnt is adopted, the people can not be re stricted in their choice by resolution further *han they are now restricted as to age, nationality, etc. It may happen, in the future history of the country, that to change an exe cutive because he has been eight years in office, will prove unfortunate, if not disastrous. The idea that any man could elect himself President, or even re-nominate himself, is preposterous. — It is a reflection upon the intelligence and patriotism of the people to suppose sueh a thing possible. Any man can destroy his chances for the office, bnt no man can force an election, or even a nomination. To recapitulate : I am not, nor have 1 ever been, a candidate f r nomina tion I would m>t accept a nomination if it were tendered, unless it should eonte under such circumstances as to make it an imperative duty—circum stances not likely to arise. I congratulate the convention over which you presided for the harmony which prevailed, and for the excellent th-ket put in he field, and which 1 hop may be triumphantly elected With great respect, your obedient servant, IT.

A tornado dipped to the earth from the sky, And passed over hamlets an l whirled on and on; The bate eartli was left to the gaze of the dye, But the homesteads and people were scat tered and gone. Where recently s’ond the white cottage or ifanse And farners well stored with provision am! grain The wa:tz of the whirlwind—a horrible ih'ioe — Left nought in its wake but a bleak, life less plain. In blackness and terror from discord above. Unbidden the storm came in fury and might Unmindful of prayers, or of faith, or of love And left in its ravage affliction and blight. Like echoes returning, a multipl ed wail Comes laden with woe from tie- track of i Tie storm ; Comes laden with br- alhings from lips wan and pale, Enlisting our sorrows and sympathies warm. In grandeur terrife arose to the sight The Rti nil cloud in colors portentous and black. ’Twas burdened with terrors like spectrea of night, ’Twas the waltz of the whirlwind with death in its trick.

The Agricultural statistics of Ireland for 1874, show an increase iu the quau tiiy of agricultural products, although a decrease in the acreage under crops compared with 1873. The number of emigrants who left Irish ports in 1874 was 74,779, a decrease of 16.212 when compared with 1873. This, together with the increase in the products of the country, scorn to indicate a gratifying degree of prosperity in the Emerald Isle. Avery wealthy Englishman has en gaged to transport the obelisk of Alex andria to England at his own expense. This obelisk weighs 280 ton-, and the expense of transportation is estimated at 850.000. Avery large raft will be used to transport it, because it would be dangerous to place such an immense mass upon a ship. The Khedive has offered this obelisk several times to the English government, which has always refused because it found the presint burdensome. ft is destined for one of the principal squares in London, English capitalists who have invest ed in French railways are a good and al interested in a trial now going on at Faria. During the Commune the Northern, Eastern, Lyons, Southern, and Western railways were compelled to pay large sums to the Communal Got era m lit, amounting altogether to about jE 120.000 The companies.when coming to settle up with the existing Govert. ment, deducted this amount, but Marshal Mae.Mahou's Ministry will not recognize this deduction. Thereupon the railway companies have applied to the Perfect of the Seine for a share of the 830.0tt0.000 which was granted to the Parisians in compensation for the losses which they sustained under the Commune. The Perfect will not }y, and so the case is to be tried at law. —There are many persons who think Sunday is a sponge to wipe out the sins of thf week.
