THE TIIIHII TERM MOVEMENT.
THE PRESIDENT’S ORGAN ON THE PENN
SYLVANIA REPUBLICAN RESOLUTIONS.
Special to tho Timxh by S. & A. Lino.]
Washington May 27. -Tho National
Republican, this morning, in a double
leaded editoral says tho Pennsylvania
Republicans havo pointedly spoken
against the third term project; they
have accompanied this protest with
a most convincing argument to show
wliy exactly such a man ns President
Grant should be selected to succeed
him. They neglected, however, to de
clare that the agitation of this ques
tion originated with his political ene
mies. and tho enemies of the Repub
lican party. He will probably con
gratulate himself that its discussion
has given his party friends in one of
tho foremost States of the Union an
opportunity by moans of a plank in
their platform to defend him against
malicious charges of the opposition.
OPINIONS OK THE NEW YORK PRESS.
The New York Herald, commenting
on tho action of the Pennsylvania
Republican Convention, says, tho
resolution against the third term is
an accusation of President, Grant. If
he lias no such ambition why should
his own party superfluously denounce
it? Nothing is more evident than
the purpose of tho Convention to de
nounce the thing, rather than relieve
the President from tho imputation.
The Times believes the declaration
of tho Pennsylvania Convention will
satisfy tho party throughout tho
country. Perhaps tho President has
himself to thank if he be unjustly ac
cused. But the accusation certainly
was entitled to some attention at his
hand.
The Tribune thinks that the anti
third term resolution will be con
strued by the President and his
friends as a personal insult,

Tlic (;ra**tioii>rr*.
St. Louis, May 27.—For tho past
three days the grasshoppers in this
vicinity have been marching in a
southwesterly direction. Whenever
they strike a field or garden they
leave scarcely a vestige of vegetation.
Whole fields of grain are destroyed
in a few hours, and the sections
which they visited arc laid waste.
However, their movements are not
universal. They seem to collect in
armies and all march in one direc
tion, turning aside for nothing. Some
sections are devastated, while others
are free from the scourge. Many
plans arc being devised for their de
struction. The most successful one
appears to be that of digging deep
trenches iu front of them and driv
ing them into them. Had this course
been pursuod from the time they
first began marching, there would
have been very little damage done.
As it is, we fear more of the small
grain will be destroyed, although the
crop of corn and into potatoes will, it
is hoped, be safe.
Fort Scott, Mo., May 27.—Grass
hoppers in this vicinity are not near
as plentiful as they were a short time
since. What lias become of them is
not known. The crops are looking
forward, and tho farmers are a little
more encouraged. In tho northeast
part of the country, or about Barn
viilo, they have done an immense
amount of damage, ravaging every
thing green they came across.
Nebraska City, May 27.— Tho grass
hoppers are beginning to leave this
country and are moving in a souther
ly direction. The reports from farm
ers are more encouraging to-day, on
ly a small portion of this county be
ing affected, and tho people have
generally been more scared than
hurt. Corn can he planted where
small grain has been badly damaged,
and thus only the seed will be lost.
rnlleil Staten Court Derision on Troy,
Ala., Kallroail Uontls.
Montgomery, May 27. —1n the
United States Court this morning the
jury in the cuso of Evans, Gardner &
Cos., returned a verdict in favor of the
plaintiffs for the amount claimed.
This was a suit on certain bonds is
sued by the city of Troy in aid of the
Mobile and Girard Railroad, a portion
of which fell into the hands of the
plaintiffs. In this case payment was
resisted on legal grounds. Suit was
brought and tho verdict rendered as
above stated. The total amount of
the bonds issued was over $50,000.
The amount covered by the verdict
for Evans, Gardner & Cos., was some
$40,000. There will probably be an
appeal to the United Stutes Supreme
Court.

APPLETONB’
American Cyclopaedia.
New Revised Edition.
Entirely rowritton by the ablest writors or every
subject. Printed from new type, and Illus
trated with Soveral Thousand Engravings
and Maps.
The work originally published under tho titlo
of Tub Nkw AmkricaN CYclotadia was com
pleted iu 1863, since which time the wide circula
tion which it has attained iu ull parts of tho
United States, and the signal developments which
have takcu place In every branch of science, lit
erature ami art, have induced the editors and
publishers to submit it to an exact and thorough
revision, and to issue anew oditiou entitled Thk
AMKRICAN (J YC LO I'.Kl > IA.
Within the last ten years tho progress of dis
covery iu every department of knowledge has
made anew work ol reference an imperative
want.
Tho movement of politieKl affairs has kept pace
with the discoveries of science, and their iruitlul
application to the industrial and useful arts and
the convenience and refinement of social life.
Great wars and consequent revolutions havo oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country,
which was at its height when the last volume of
tho old work appeared, has happily been ended,
and anew course of commercial and industrial
activity bos been commenced.
accessions to our geographical knowl
edge have been made by the indefatigable ex
plorers of Africa.
Tho groat political revolutions of the last de
cade, with the natural result of the lapse of time,
have brought into public view a multitude ol new
men, whose names arc in every one’s mouth, and
of whose lives every one is curious to know tho
particulars. Great battles have been fought and
important sieges maintained, of which the de
tails are as yet preserved ouly iu the newspapers
or in the transient publications of the day, but
which ought now to take tfieir place in perma
nent and authentic history.
in preparing the present edition f**r the press,
it has accordingly been the aim ol the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possi
ble dates, and to furnish uu accurate accouut of
the most receut discoveries iu science, of every
fresh production iu literature, and of tho newest
inventions iu the practical arts, ns well as to give
a succinct and original record of the progress of
political aiul historical events.
The work lias been begun alter long and care
ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample
resources lor carrying it on to a successful term
ination.
None of the original stereotype plates have
been used, but every page has been printed on
new type, forming in fact anew Cyclopaedia, with
the same plan and compass as its predecessor,
but with a lar greater pecuniary expenditure,
and with such improvements in its composition
as have boon suggested by longer experience and
enlarged knowledge.
The illustrations which aro introduced for the
first time in the present edition have been added
not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give
greater lucidity and force to the explanations iu
the text. They embrace all brandies of science
and of natural history, and depict the most
famous and remarkable lcatures of sccnory,
architecture and art, as well as the various pro
cesses of mechanics and manufactures.
Although intended for instruction rather than
embelishmont, no pains have been spared to in
sure their artistic exeelleuce; tho cost of their
execution is enormous, and it is believed they
will find a welcome reception as on admirable
feature of tho Cyclopaedia, and worthy of its
high character.
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable
on delivery of each Volume. It will be completed
iu sixteen largo octavo volumes, each containing
about HOD pages, fully illustrated with several
thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous
colored Lithographic Maps.

dictation, contending for principle, and lor tbe
election of tbe best men. It exposes ths corrup

overthrow of republican institutions. It has no
fear of knaves, and seeks no favors from their
supporters.
The markets of overy kind and the fashions
am regularly reported.
