jtjcrM THURSDAY, PECITiBER 2. 1875. Tbc Sbndow tr I lie Third Term. Why pppculalc longer on the proba bilities of Grant’s candidacy for a Third Presidential Term? The con titigeners to wliieh he referred in his letter of some months ago upon the Third Term, have arisen. The ex* igencies of the party demand it, and assured'? he will have no scruples on the subject. His trumpeter Forney, through the Sunday Chronicle, has sounded the blast, and it will resound along the whole line, lie says: Neither the Democratic nor the Re publican party can present a man. at the present time, who combines the same elements of strength which are embodied in the silent man in the White House. 11 is personal prestige vitalizes the party which he now heads, and the Democratic party appreciates this more Vicenlv than the Republican when they hurl all their force in llieir efforts to hrenk him down. If the Republican party could reorganize under new lead ers. perhaps all this conflict could be averted—if the men who have deserted it could he induced to return, it might possibly be able to win a victory with out Grant; but the risks are so great that it is too late to indulge such antici pations, and the chances are all against them. The people know precisely what they are about, and the incu who framed the Federal compact had more confidence in their devotion to and their ability for self government than have manv of their present representatives, who profess to feel such alarm at the mere suggestion of a Presidential third term. Tu matters like these the coun try will he gu'dedent'r ly by me aitic nod the Republican party must yield to the same force. Letter from South America. Cat,LAO, Peru, S. A.) October 28,1875. f Eilitor Herald :— Those who have spent most of their lives in a certain latitude, and have only a theoretical knowledge of climate, could hardly believe that in the Tropics we are free from the extremes of heat and cold. The latitude of Callao 5s about twelve degrees South, and the temperature seldom rises above seven <v five degrees in summer, or falls be low sixty In winter, thereby doing away with the necessity of either fans or fires. The months of June, July and August, which here is winter, are distinguished for almost continuous clouds, and at night there is generally a dampness which, in your latitude, you would designate a slight fog, never suf ficient rain even to drop from the caves .of the houses. As you approach the mountains, the! quantity of moisture increases, and even in Lima, only eight utiles -north-cast of Callao, they have sufficient to dignify it with the appel iation of a rain. To my mind, the cli ■mate is nearly perfect-, though many condemn it on account of its sameness. This however, is more the result of that uncontrollable desire ol human na ture for variety The fruits of the country exceed any thing I ever saw, in variety, as well as and there is not a day in the year, from the first day of Janu ary to the thirty-first day of Decewb' r. ■that you may not adorn your breakfast .or dinner table with from half a dozen to a dozen varieties of as luscious fruits as ever grew. Resides the Tropical fruits, we have also the peach, apple, melons, strawberries, grapes and figs of the Temperate Zone. The Chiriutnya or Custard Apple, grows in perfection here, and by many is considered the prince of fruits, though I do not thiuk it equal to the Pine Apple or the Or ange. It is like no fruit I cur saw, end hence the difficulty of description. It varies in size, weighing from one fourth of a pound to three pouuds. The color outside is green, inside w hite, in terspersed with black seed about the size of a common bean. The flavor has something of the pine apple and straw berry combined the consistency is that of well frozen ice-cream, and you eat it with a spoon, pretty much in the same manner a‘you do ice-eream. Even a hypercritical dissection could not dis cover any fault in the climates or fruits of Peru. The Government of this country is Republican in form, ar.d becoming snore and more liberal, especilly iu granting .to others freedom of thought, freedom of opinion and freedom ot be lief. The defect in its practical wink ing*, is, in its Jmdiciary. Here there is great room tor improvement. No people can be secure in their rights of person and property, where the laTs are either badly administered, or where •the safeguard of Judicial investigation and the authoritative remedy proceed™ iog therefrom is either defective or in* adequate. Nor can their rights be wholly lost or even materially impaired where the Judiciary of the country is even a good one, much less perfect. In the British Kingdom it is, as every one learned in the law knows, the great J&glwark of English liberty, both in the enjoyment of all that pertains t-> the person, as well as security that is thrown around all the titles to property. The manners, customs, mode of 1 iv ing and dress of the Peruvians differ from the people of the United Sta es in many respects. The females espeei ally in their dress Tor the street, are marked in their very general discharge of the Bonnet, which, to the American lady, occupies the position in costume I that Btilwer, the novelist, gave, when he said, "‘A gentleman could not as pire to elegance in dress unless he had on anew hat.” The substitute for the bonnet, is the Mantle gracefully thrown over the shoulders and head, edged with elegant black lace, and covering the eyes sufficiently to give a peeping look, which is something beyond at tractive—almost, yes actually bewitch ing. The higher classes in Peru, are good looking. Many of the ladies ve ry beautiful, and as far as I have been able to judge, kind hearted, charitable, and in fact, abounding in most of those good qualities of the heart which con stitute good society. They are fond of dress and show, hut I have never found that peculiarity deficient in any of the sex, wherever I have roamed, unless among some of the Indian tribes, and even they nre given to the adornment ari-ing from the triumphs of the hunt The civil society of Peru, viewed from the stand point of security to the rights of person and property, ii as good as our own country ; in fact, w urn you take into consideration our advan tage.-, both in Government and educa tion, they will have in the great day of accountability the partially exciilpito ry eordition that was awarded Tyre and Sidon by Him who knew all tbit gs— the heart, its pulsations, its struggles, its weakness, and above all its resist- Since my arrival in this - nun try, the most, and in fact, the otdy very exci ting occasion, has been the Presidential election, which took place, commencing Sunday, 17th inst.. and terminating the 2Jrd. On the first day the scene w.s alarming, am] but lor the energy and efficiency of the authorities, the streets might and would have run blood. The two political parties early in the morn ing met, and there was a general shoot ing oil both side*, both in Luna and Callao. 1 witnessed much of it in Cal lao, and while I regretted very much to see the weakness of human nature, to allow their passions to place in jeopatdy their lives, hi a cause uni touching per sonal benefit, and uot inv living pa't i t ism, but for those, who were to be sue cessfil and who soon forgot those who died for them, I felt very contented in the security of uty position, out. of all danger, even of a “stray shot.” While all. who have any of the feeiings of our common humanity drop a tear over the unfortunate victims who fell on the oc casion, there is a very general congrat ulation that things eventuated in no worse catastrophe, which at one time many expected, and all apprehended The number of killed at Lima, was about thirty, the wounded perhaps double that. At Callao, the deaths were three, wounded eigl t or Jen. 1 will not trespass longer upon the patience of your readers, except to promise, when by an extended residence, I see and learn more, I may become communicative, beyond the limits of a legitimate correspondence, viewed from the respective relation of reader and writer.

Tlic Kumsellor’s Proposal to Hie IK'ii! DEAR SIR:— I have opened apartments, fitted up with all the enticements of luxury, for the sale of Rum, Brandy, Giu, Wine, Beer, and all their compounds. Our objects, though dif ferent, can be best attained by united ac tion. I therefore propose a Co-partneship. All I want of men is their money. All else shill be your’s. Bring me the industrious, the sober, the respectable, and 1 will return them to you DRUNKARDS, PAUPERS and BEGGARS. Bring me the Child, and l will dash to earth the dearest hopes of the father and mother. Bring me the Father and the Mother.and I will plant djscord between them, and make them a curse and a reproach to their children. Bring me the Young Man, I will ruin his character, destroy his healih. shorten his life, and blot out the highest and purest hopes of youth. Bring me the Mechanic or the Uaborer and his own money—the hard earned fruits of his toil shall be made to plant poverty, vice and ignorance iu his once happy home. Bring me the warm-hearted Sailor, and I will send him on a lee-shore, and make shipwreck of all fond hopes forevermore. Bring me the professe 1 follow; r of Christ, and 1 will blight and wither every devo tional feeling of the heart 1 will corrupt the Ministers of religion, and defile the pu rity of the Church. Bring me the patronage of the city, and of the Courts of Justice —let the Magistra es of tba State and the Union become my patrons—let the law makers themselves meet at my fable and participate in viola tion of law, and the name oflaw shall be come a hissing and a by-word ic the streets. Bring me, above all, tlie moral, respecta ble man—if possible, bring the moderate temperance man, though he may not drink, yet his presence will, countenance the pretexts under which our business must be masked. Bring him to our Stores, Oyster Saloons, Eating Houses aud Hotels, and the the more timid of our victims will then enter without alarm. Tour’s faithfully, KUMSELLER. REPLY. MY DEAR BROTHER: I address you by this endearing appella tion, because of the congeniality of our spirits, and of the great work tee are both engaged in —the work of DESTtttiCTtojt. I most cordi ally accept your proposals. For five thou sand years I sought in vain for a man so fully after my own heart, to do my work among men. I even ransacked the lowest depths of Hell'for a Devil who could and would do for me the whole work of destruc tion. But little success attended their ef forts. My minions always made some mis take, or tvo soon showed the cloven foot. I sent out the demon Munnen, and he slew a few thousand, most generally the helpless and innocent. Men turned away with loathing from him, and his mission was comparatively a failure. 1 bade my servant Lrsr go forth. He led innocent youths and beautiful maidens in chains—destroying virtue, wrecking ha | - piness, blasting characters, and caused un timely d’atlis and dishonored graves. But eveu then many of his victims escaped through the rowcu or God, t enemy. I sent out Avauice, and in his golden chains some were hound, but men learned to hale him for his meanness, and compara tively few fell by him. The twin brothers Pestilence and War went forth, and Famine stole behind them: hut these three indiscriminately slew the old and young, men, women and children; the good as well ns the bad, and Heaven re ceived as many accessions ns Hell. In sadness my Satanic heart mourned over the probab'e loss of my crown and king dom, ns 1 contemplated the tremendous strides which the Gospel or Jttsrs is mak ing in saving nun from tny clutches. But when 1 received your kind letter, 1 shouted ’till the welkin of Hell echoed the shout, “Eureka! Eureka!”- “I have found it, T have found it ” Yes. my dear friend, I could have embraced you a thousand times, ami* 1 have given orders to reserve for you a place nearest inn person, the most honorable seat in my kingdom In you arc combined all th gaulifcations of just such a friend end part ner as I have long wished for. and in your business are all the elements of success.— Now shall my throne he forever established. Only carry out your designs and you shall have Money, though it be wrung from the broken heart of helpless women, and from the months of innocent perishing children. — Though you till the jails, workhouses anil poorhouses, though you crowd the insane asylums, though you make murder, incest and arson to abound, and erect scaffolds and gallows in every village, town and city, yon shall have Money. 1 will also harden your heart so that your conscience will never trou ble you. You shall look upon blood and eveu shed it, without shame or anguish.— You shall think yourself a gentleman , though men and women, your victims, shall call you demon. You shall be devoid of the fear of God, the horrors of the grave, and the soleni nities of eternity, and when you come to me your works shall produce you a reward for ever. All I claim is the souls of the vic tims. Tour’s to tlievery last, THE DEVIL. Hstray Notice. (N EORGlA—Greene County. JT Joseph I’.
