of tbe administration cannot b* doubted. Every

there is law for it, bnt that it is good law—law
which ought to exist In a free oountry, aeems

No man will advance (ha plea that goTem.
raent can compel anybody to bear witness
against himself. But if a man oannot be

WzxTnan UirosTj r.x Teuobxpu.—Consid
erable rain, aaya tba Utuonteto, has fallen the
first balf of tha week in the Gulf and Atlantic
States, though none of oar reports speak of
there being uuy tevere storm corresponding
with tbe one which bee visited thta section; tn
fact, with one or two exceptions, no oompUlnt
ia made of any ill effects from the rain, the
main damage referred to being that from cater*
pillars in certain eeolionr; otherwise tbe reports
are more favorabto. At New Orleans it has
rained on more than balf the days of the week
—showery. Our correspondent btates that tboy
are having too much rain there. Bain is also
the latter V«t* of 'fh‘4 W««K Dcin'g- 0 r^Ws,

vorable, only very limited injury being as yet •
dons by tho caterpillars. They have bad rain
on throe days at Betas; caterpillars are increas
ing and doing mnoh damage on some plaeea
where pontons have not boon applied. Ibe
same report of damige from oaterpillara we
have received from oar Montgomery correspond
ent: it has rained on two days at Macon. At
Columbus they have had rain on fonr days,
though it has been pleasant and clear tbs I»t'or
part of the woek. They also had rain the
first half of the week, and dear weather since
at Savannah; crop reports are said to be more
favorable. It has rained on two days at Angnste;
tho weather is now pleaeant. Oar Charleston
correspondent does not state how many days
it has rained thoro. bnt says that they are
having too ranch rain. At Memphis it bas
rained on three day*, and orop reports are
more favorablo. At Nashville they have bad
one heavy rain, which waa mneh needed; the
orop ia developing promisingly. The thermom
eter lias averaged at Memphis 80; Savannah,
81; Mobile, 81; hlaoon, 84; Colnmbns, 80.

Halstead on Ctcsarlaiq.
Tho Herald has been interviewing the Cin
cinnati editors on C*»riam. Marat Halstead
maintain, that there ia not timber enough in
Grant to mako a C»mr—as for illustration :
“Mr. Halstead—It lakes a man of genins and
enerry to make a Carter, and snoh men are not
plenty. If Ben Butter had been a great raib-
tary encores he might have beoome a Ctetar;
bnt ho had none, and had no military (sanity,
so ho U no Cottar. The fact t*. wo got through
our war without developing a Croat or any re
markable genins on eitner aide.
"Ilerald Correspondent—Yon uon t seem to
think that Gen. Grant Is ranch of a Cmiar then ?
"Mr. HaUtead—No, air, I do not; I don t
think he knows enough to be C*rar either.
"Herald Correspondent—^What do yon think
of bis third term prospect?
"Mr. Halstead—'Very little prospect he has, I
believe Ho can't get the nomination from hto
ova party, and he will find it ont in good time
and draw off in favor of Phil Sheridan, who will
be tho military candidate.
ilerald Correspondent—Yon believe this?
Mr. Halstead—Yes, eir, I do. Tho Demo-
era tic party can elect him by adhering to its
old organiattion. Blaine and Morton are tho
oivil a-tpiracts, bnt neither will be able to make
it. The very boat man to boat the administra
tion candidate, probably, ia the man who made
Grant but didn’t stay at home to take care of
him—tha Fariaian, Waahbnrne.
"Herald Correspondent—Let me ask why
yon thick Grant’s party will not renominate
bln ?
••Mr. Il&Ute&d—Grant’s conduct since bia
election ha, disgusted tbe leading men of the
putty I mean the ambitions and leading men.
\VtUon and Noyfea, for instance, who went np
and down the oonntry howling and tearing their
throats ont for him, are bitterlv disappointed
at Grant’s obtusenees and indifferency in not
seeing that to their aimoat snperhnman effort*
and not his own special mer »taw*a he indebted
for tho success of his seeond candidacy. Grant
believed that his re election was duo to the
migbtv magic of hianame, and hU oold egotism
baa dwplv wounded tbe feelings of his warnest
patty friends. As I said, it is donbtfn if the
civil aspirants go through, bnt they '" U
the pleasure of electing the lieutenant C en
era!, for Grant undoubtedly will have the po^er
to name hie successor.”

Txz Chronicle and Sentinel says Ur. Lewis
E. Grouse, of Angnste, has written 3,016 words
in a legible band on a postal card. Yell, vot
it ? What profit it it to Mr. G. or anybody
else?
Worm Ksowrxo.—Under this head, tho
Chronicle and Sentinel has the following:
Worm Khowixo.—Few people perhaps are
aware that, by the lew of the State m party
renting a house for twelve months la oompellod
to pay the rent for that entire time, although
tbe boose should catch fire and burn to tho
ground in A week after bia taking possession aa
tenant. We beard of twoinitanoes yesterday
where tho question came np, a party in each
contending that the rent could not be recovered
under the oirenmetanoe mentioned. In one the
gentlemen to bolding was so satisfied tn regard
to hia portion that ha made a bet of one hum
dred dollars to five that be was right. The mat
ter was referred to a lawyer, and of oonrse de
cided against the party bcltting tits hundred
dollars. Io tha other a gentleman, while
heartily admitting the foot, contended that if a
note stipulated! that it was givsn "for value
received in honaa rent,” the amonnt which it
represented could not be recovered
the house for the rent of whioh it was giTen
burned down before the tenant had oocupied it
tbe stipulated time. The bst in thia inrtanoe
waa somewhat smaller than tho other, being
only a couple of watermelons. The question
was referred to a prominent lawyer, who de
cided that nnder the law the tenant would hare
to pay tho full amonnt of the reat, notwith
standing the clause In the note, above stated.
The language of the Code of Georgia is very
plain npon the point. The following is the
section:
Sec. 2267. The destruction cf a tenement by
five, or the loss of posseesion by any easnalty
not caused by the landlord, or from default of
his title, aha'l not abate the rent contracted to
be paid.
Tbe reports of the Supreme Court of Georgia
contain a nnmber of decisions npon this point.
In one case carried np, a young man in Savan
nah bad rented a room for a year in a building
which caught fire and waa destroyed. Tho
yonng man waa very aotive in saving shelving
and other thing! attached to the freehold, but
his landlord, notwithstanding, claimed the rent
agreed to be paid by him for the entire year.
The young man refused to pay it, woe sued by
his landlotd, tho cane tried in the Superior
Court, and afterwards carried np to the Su
preme Oourt, which rendered a decision in the
landlord's favor.

beantifnl verses nnder the above title, as a
chivalrous soldier and gentleman, a correspon
dent of the Houston Home Journal shows that
Gen. L. does not at all deserve them by tho
recital of the following faots: He says the first
brigade of Federal soldiers that entered Win
chester, Tennessee, daring the war waa oom
manded by Gen. L., and that as soon as tbe
brigade bad camped the work of robbery was
commenced.

No redress was offered by General Lytle, al

Grant Will Not be a Candidate.
The statement is anthoritatively made that
Genoral Grant dots not wish to be elected to
tbe Preaidency for a third term, at we presume
the people have no desire thst he should be.
It is possible that he would administer the gov
ernment as wisely and aa well through a third
as through a seoond term; bnt no one, least of
aU General Grant himself, deems it wise to es
tablish a preoedent which neither the present
nor the prospective exigencies of the country
would jnstify.—Albany Earning Journal.
The Craning Journal ia a bitter Bsdical paper,
bnt seems to be rather behind the times in this
matter. It baa evidently aot been “ seen ” by
the three-term folks. Perhaps it will sing
another tone when it has more light. Grant is
jtut as sure to intrigna for, and very probably
to get, another renomination as he lives. All
the signs g> to show that he wants it—none
plainer In our estimation than the utterance of
Harper's Weekly, which we published a few
dap since.

Practical Advice for Fishermen.
From Mr. Beochor’s Christian Union.)
First—Find ont if there is any fish in the
river to whioh yon ore going; if bo, get some
one who knows the water to show you where the
fi:h lie: and when he Bhows thim to you, don’t
yon show yourself to them.
Sooond—Don't imsgine, if the fish does not
dart away, that he has not Been yon; on the
contrary, he is very likely devoting hia wlioto
attention to yon, and preparing to start the mo
ment danger is imminent.
Third—If yon are fishing with a fly, and yon
pass it neatly three times over him, and he re-
fuses it, you need not wait any longer; he has
seen yonr line of invitation, ard does not in
tend to aome.
Fourth—If yon are above a fish when yon
hook him, get below him as soon as you oan ;
for Jf yon pnll him one instant against the
stream, and he is a heavy flab, he will break his
hold. . . ,
Fifth—Never throw a tong line when a short
one will answor.
Sixth—Never mind what is said abont ''play
ing your fish till he is tired:’ - put him in your
ba-iket as soon as yon oan. ... j
Seventh—Remember that every thing depends
npon the way yon begin yonr aeqnaintanoe. if
yon oan prevail on a fish to gc d iwh the stream
a little way with yon, yon wilt afterward have
no dIffitally in persnadiDg him to let yon have
the pleasure of seeing him to dinner.
To these exaellent maxima I beg leave to add
one of Mr. Stoddart’a, especially intended for
bachelors, yonog and old; “Never fall in love
with a woman by the water side; there are simi-
tions in which every woman looks an angel.”
Op ell the odd deaths in the world, this re
ported from India is certainly the oddest: A
native, while catching fish in a tank, pnt the
head of one in his mouth and bit it, as tho fish
waa rather troublesome in the matter of wrig-
ging. Suddenly ono of the sharp pointa in the
back fin stuck in his hand; he opened his
month to call for help, and the fish giving a
quick plunge, jumped down his throat and there
firmly stack. It was only taken onf, and by
small pieces, after he had been carried to the
hospitaL He was so exhausted that he died as
soon as it was removed.
Poou Dzlcokd CnzErxaL—The Empress En
genie Is oredited with saying: “Men are easily
deluded; they are duped oa t very hand; the
same arts succeed with all of them, and the
woman ia a genius who airikes out a new way to #
get the better of them.”
Hobx Gold.—The report is that the X^llaw
atone region ti iaamng.qy.pr with gold and likely
to prove more productive than any other au -
riferons region of the United States.
Thi Dunkirk (N. Y ) Jonrrai says that Jcseph
Warren, of the Buffalo Courier, waa recently

Haleb, of Buffalo. Warren ucotp’.ed the chal
lenge and chose broad swords for weapons; dis
