THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 20, 1875.
THIRD TERM.
We are not at all astonished to learn,
as we do from the special ashington
telegrams of the Courier-Journal, that
the events of the last two weeks have
developed a strong feeling in favor of
the third term. Members of Congress
who have hitherto been opposed to the
scheme, who hate Grant, and who have
not sympathized with him and the
ring which is working for his re-nomi
nation, now begin to conclude that a
third term nomination is almost inevi
table. A leading Republican member
of Congress from Pennsylvania says
distinctly that Geant has the whole
thing in his own hands, and that he is
evidently determined to play every
card in his hand.”
Asa clincher to that, the St. Louis
Republican has been permitted to make
public some information on this topic,
contained in a letter from a former
high official to a friend in St. Louis,
and based upon the utterances of Presi
dent Grant himself. We quote :
It begins by stating that the President
was perfectly satisfied and evon gratified
by the results of the elections last Fall.
To use his own expression, they demon
strated that the Republican party could
not carry the country without him at its
head, and they would serve to teach the
politicians the lesson that they could not
afford to divide upon personal or other
minor questions in the face of the enemy.
In this conversation the President seems
to have given out the idea that he let the
idections of last Fall so by default, as a
piece of strategy; first, to reduce the Re
publican party to a state of desperation;
and, second, to show to its leaders that,
without his iron hand and his inflexible j
will at their head, disaster in 1876 would be
as certain as that defeat which had over
taken them in 1874. In respect to the part
played by the voters in the last election,
Gen. Grant was simply indifferent, if not
contemptuous, and did not deem that de
partme: t of the subject worth discussing.
He then went on to enumerate his
chances for a renomination by the Repub
lican Convention. He would have the del
egations from the Southern States solid
for him. This would leave him only forty
two votes to get from the North, and he re
lied on Mr. Conklino to bring New York
up to his support with thirty-five solid,
while Butler and Boutwell would fur
nish the remainder from Massachusetts.
Having gained the nomination, he would
tight the pattle of 1872 over again. He
had no doubt as to the result, but broadly
intimated that he might possibly be de
feated by fraud and intimidation of voters,
in which case he should see that justice was
done. We have reason to suppose that
the President is not wholly averse to a
publication of his designs; only, he re
gards it as beneath his dignity to seek pub
licity for them. He is most firmly im
pressed with the theory of his own invin
cibility before the people, and regards the
“anti-third term clamor of the press” as
merely the malignity of editors whom he
does not consult as to the disposal of pa
tronage. But he implicitly believes the
people are with him, and will remain with
him as long as he lives. We may add that
the source of this information is of the
most unimpeachable reliability, and that it
comes direct.
Grant is the boldest and “ smartest ”
of all public men in the Republican
party. We shall presently see how
much fitted the Northern people are
for freedom or slavery. Grant coolly
assumes the mastery, and, at present,
the party and the people acknowledge
themselves his most reluctant but de
voted subjects. As Grant tweaks
their loyal noses, they wring their fee
ble hands. Perhaps they will get
fighting mad, after a while, and
confront their whipper-in; but the
outlook for such a display of manhood
is by no means promising.
A Conundrum. —The New York Herald,
treating of the President’s reported
anxiety to have the Force Bill passed,
says : “ Is His Excellency insane ?” We
answer that it may be so, but there is
method in his madness. “ His Excel
lency ” has wit enough left to remem
ber that the writ of habeas corpus lost
its sanctity for the Northern people,
when Abraham Lincoln, of martyr
memory, imprisoned John Merryman
amid the plaudits of the “ trooly loil,”
defied Chief Justice Taney and em
ployed McClellan to dissolve, with
armed men, the General Assembly of
Maryland. Is the Herald man insane
to forget these things ? Is the Herald
man a clean daft lunatic to suppose
Grant has not profited by that experi
ence ? The Man on Horseback is only
preparing to finally march Northward ;
that’s all.
A Sockdolager.— The following is an
extract from Conkling’s speech on Lou
isiana.
Show me a mode to pacify the South,
and, no matter what party opposes it, my
vote it shall have. No party can live that
stands in the way of the prosperity of the
South. The Republican party has not an
aspiration, an attribute, a conviction, a
prejudice, a prayer, which would not be
outraged by hostility to anything which
would really tranquilize the South.
To which challenge the. New York
Times promptly responds:
Now, we appeal in all good faith to Sena
tor Conkling to tell us if he really believes
that the measure or measures said to have
been agreed upon last week in the Republi
can caucus are calculated' to “tranquilize
the South,” or to permanently benefit the
North?
First blood and first knock down for
the Times.
Good Advice. — The Richmond Dis
patch very properly thinks that if the
Democrats keep their mouths shut on
the Force Bill discussion, allowing the
Conservative Republicans to fight it,
all will be well. The same paper fears
an explosion of “great Columbian ora
tory” from some Southern Democrat
more than anything else.
Inconsistent.— The New York Tribune
proves that Grant is inconsistent. Of
course he is. Sphinxes always are. Ac
cording to the New York Herald, in its
own defense, “ inconsistency is the high
est form of consistency.”
Revelations. — Banking pays. Accor
ding to revelations in the case of Green
baum vs. Greenbaum, the Chicago Roths
childs, the firm started business on
$50,000 and cleared $50,000 per annum
in thr brokerage line alone, which is a
startling explanation of shent-per
ghent.
BANDITTI.
Gov. Beveridge, of Illinois, has this
significant passage in his recent mes
sage to the State Legislature :
From recent and reliable information re
ceived by this department, it is evident that
a spirit of lawlessness prevails in W llliarn
son county, in this State. Murders have
been committed from the brush and under
cover of darkness, and the muiderers go
unpunished. Men, armed and in disguise,
ride through the country at night, dis
turbing the peace, terrifying the citizens
and committing acts of violence disgrace
ful to the age and to our civilization. Per
sons and property are insecure. The peo
ple seem to be overawed, and terrorism and
intimidation pervade alike the Qivil authori
ties and private citizens.
This, too, iu Grant’s own State and at
Phil Sheridan’s chief headquarters!
Comment unnecessary.
Poetical. — Mr. Garfield, member of
Congress from Ohio, a Republican of
great ability, thus apostrophised the
colored people, in a recent speech :
Rude seems the song, each swarthy face.
Flame-lighted, ruder still.
We start to think that hapless race
Must share our good or ill;
That laws of changeless justice bind
Oppressor with oppressed,
And, close as sin and suffering joined,
We march to fate abreast.
Considering the present position of
affairs and the ominous future, we do
not wonder that Garfield “ starts to
think that hapless race must share his
good or ill.” The Radicals have got
all of the negro’s money, and now
propose to drag him down to the abyss
they are preparing for themselves. The
darkey is a bigger fool than we believe
him to be, ifi he proposes to “ march
to fate abreast ” of Garfield and his
fellow conspirators.
■■ i ■ •
The Whirligig.— Time brings queer
revenges. In 1848, John Mitchel was
transported to Van Dieman’s Laud for
felony to England and loyalty to Ire
land. In 1875 he has been elected M.
P. from Tipperary. His chances of be
ing seated are very slim indeed, but
the moral victory is simply over
whelming.
Dr. Kenealy, for his course in the
Tichborne trial, was disbarred as a
British attorney. The other day he
too was elected to Parliament.
Ha ! Ha ! — The Washington corre
spondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
(Rep.) says only an extreme Southern
man will be elected Clerk of the next
house of Representatives. A candi
date from Maryland and one from
Kentucky put in an appearance, but
were suddenly choked down by the as
sertion that no man from a “ puke
State ” had any chance.

Destroyed by Fire. Seven Hundred
Families Homeless.

the details of the fire. It is said that
the fire commenced at half-past ten
o’clock, and in a short time assumed a

three small engines and hose, about
garden size. About 700 families are

“DON’T DUST UP ROOMS LIKE OTHER COAL,
Because the ASHES ARE HEAVY. It is the nicest Coal for richly fur
nished houses, rooms, parlors, offices, etc., ever used. It is first
class in every particular. It is clean, kindles quick, burns beauti
fully, and makes no cinders. It is Pure Coal, unmixed with
any earthy impurities, and burns up clean, like wood.
Parties from the North and East, who have
used Anthracite Coal, say the Ct.huba is
the best Coal in the United Stites.”“s©S
