THE PRESIDENT'S LETTER.
' Washington, May 31.—President
I Grant has written the following let
! ter to Gen. Harry White, President
,: of the reeent Pennsylvania Republl
i can State Convention:
Executive Mansion. I
' Washington, May 29th, 1875. f
Dear Sir A short time subsequent
to tlie Presidential election in 1872,
i the press, a portion of it hostile to
the Republican party, and particu
larly so to the Administration, start-'
ed the ery of Ctcstirism and the third
: term, calling lustily for me to delino
my position on the latter subject. 1
; believed it to be beneath
the dignity of the office which 1 have
been twice called upon to fill, to an
swer such a question before the sub
ject should lie presented by compe
tent authority to make a nomination,
or by a body of such dignity and au
-1 thority as not to make a reply a fair
subject of ridicule. In fact 1 have
been surprised that so many sensible
persons in tlie Republican party
should permit their enemy to force
upon them and their party an issue
j which cannot add strength to the
: party, no matter how met, but a body
of the dignity and party authority of
a convention to make nominations
for the State officers of I lie second
State in the Union. Having consid
ered this question, I deem it not im
proper that 1 should now speak. In
the first place, I never sought the
office for a second nor even for a first
nomination. To the first, 1 was call
ed from a lifo position -one created
| by Congress expressly for me, for
' supposed services rendered to the Re
j public. The position vacated I liked.
. It would have been most agreeable
to me to have retained it until such
time as Congress might have con
sented to my retirement with the
rank und emoluments which I so
much needed, to n home where the
balance of my days might be spent
in peace and the enjoyment of do
mestic quiet, relieved from the cares
which have oppressed me so oon-
I stantly now for fourteen years. But
I was made to believe that the public
I good called me to make the sacrifice.
Without seeking the office for the
second term the nomination was ten
dered to me by a unanimous vote of |
the delegates of all the States and
Territories selected by the Republi
cans of each to represent their
whole number for the purpose
of making their nomination.
I can’t say that. I was not pleased at
this, and at tire overwhelming en
dorsement which their action receiv
ed at, the election following. But it
must be remembered that ull the sac
rifices, except that of comfort, had
been made in accepting the first
term. Then, too, such a lire of per
sona! abuse and slander tiad been
kept tip for four years, notwithstand
ing the conscientious perform
ance of my duties to the best
of my understanding, though,
I admit, in the light of subsequent
events, many times being subject to
fair criticism, that an endorsement
from the people, who alone govern
republics, was a gratification that it
is only human to have appreciate!}
and enjoyed.
NOW 108 THE Till It II TERM.
X do not want, it any more than I
did the ilrst. I would not write or
utter a word to change the will of the
people in expressing and havingtheir
choice. The question of the number
of terms allowed to any one Execu
tive, can only come up fairly in the
shape of a proposition to amend the
Constitution a shape in which all
political parties can participate - lix
ing tHo length of time or the number
of terms for which any one person
shall be eligible for the office of Pres
ident. Until such an amendment is
adopted, the people cannot be re
stricted in their choice by resolution,
further than they are. now restricted
as to age, nativity, &c.
It may happen In the future history
of the country that to change an Ex
ecutive because he has been eight
years in office, will prove unfortu
nate, if not disastrous. The idea that
any man could re-elect himself Presi
dent, or even re-nominatc himself, is
preposterous. It is a reflection upon
the intelligence and patriotism of the
people to suppose such a thing possi
ble. Any man can destroy his chances
for the office, but no one can force an
election or even a nomination.
To recapitulate: I am not nor
have I ever been a candidate for a
re-nomination. I would not accept
a nomination if it were tendered, un
less it should come under such cir
cumstances as to make it an impera
tive duty—circumstances not likely to
arise.
I congratulate the convention over
which yon preside, for the harmony
which prevailed, and for the excel
lent ticket put. in the field and which
I hope may be triumphantly elected.
With great respect,
Your obedient servant,
[Higned] U. S. Grant.
Opinion- of the New fork Press.
New York, May 31. -The Herald,
referring editorially to the President’s
third important political declaration
which he has made since his acces
sion to office, says: “It is an exceed
ingly adroit letter, but far from being
satisfactory. There is nothing in it
to prevent Grant’s acceptance of the
COLUMBUS, GA., TUESDAY, JUNE 1, 1875.
Presidency for a t hird term. Wo shall
bo surprised if the country accepts
this as a satisfactory declaration. It
is an evasive letter. It would have
boon much better for ills fume, and
even for the welfare of the party he
proposes to serve, if ho had not writ
ten a word. Tlie country is told that
the President will not tuko what is
not offered him. The Herald wants n
declaration that will destroy Ctesar
ism by limiting all administrations
to one term, and no re-election over
after.”
The Times considers that the Pres
ident’s views are expressed with great
simplicity and frankness, and that,
his declaration will be deemed satis
factory by tho people; but those who
originally raised the cry of a ‘‘third
term,” will not bo satisfied. They
will pick holes In tho letter, here and
there ; take out detached sentences,
and twist them into signifying wluit
they do not properly express. The
Times confesses that tho letter ought
to be accepted by a ll just, fair-minded
men as absolutely putting an end to
the whole question; and tho Repub
licans should prepare for tho work of
1876, without reference to even tho
I possibility of Grant being in tho field
| as a candidate.
| The Tribune says : “Although some
what Delphic in its phraseology, the
I President’s letter will probably be
remarked as finally withdrawing
Grant's name from the list of candi
dates for tlie next Presidency. If he
had only said as much some time
ago, what suffering might have been
saved the Republican party?”
Tlie World, in its editorial, says:
“Nobody can fail to read the extreme
reluctance with which the President
makes oven a pretense of resigning
his chance for re-election. His letter,
which purports the resignation of his
pretensions, is not so. In fact, the
saving clause in it enables him to
alter those pretensions whenever he
may choose, which he means, when
ever ho sees the possibility of success
for them.”
The Sun is silent. It publishes the
letter without comment.

■Spbinofield, Mass., May ill. — Tlie
total loss in yesterday’s fire is now

came so excited that ho became hope
