The Third Term.
We have heard in Republican cir
cle! considerable comment on the
interview said to have been had by a
New York correspondent with Gov.
Chamberlain, in regard to Gen.
Grant being the candidate* of the
Republican party for a third term.
Of course, there was considerable di
vision of opinion. Ab for us, wc
would have no objection to seeing
Gen. Grant, President of the United
States, lo, these many years, if the
Republican party was a fixture; a
party invincible, and incorruptible.
Under the rufe of such a party, we
would vote for Grant, just so long as
he stood by the Constitution and the
rights of the people. But what is
sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander. No certain political organ
ization on this continent is perfect,
and all are liable to defeat at times,
and we would not like to see the pre
cedent aet by the Republican party of
making even Grant, Presideut for a
third term. Wo have, in our politi
cal experience, discovered this one
fact, and that ia, it is hard to oust a
Democrat from office once he gets in.
He sticks tighter than coui t planter.
And if the Democratic ..party gets
possession of the White House again,
then farewell sweet dreams of graiury
plains, and svcetjsmclling flowers. Up
amidst the lagoons and muddy lakes
of Salt River will we, as a party,
sojourn for many times,"many 'days?
and you put'this third term business in
their head,and they will not stop there.
Rotation in office is not a fundamental'
principle of the Democratic party'.
We might elect* Grant the third time,
and we might not. ...Let the result be
^S^r^mSif^^lo^^i^^^^tyta
power aeca fit to put hita there. A
man's ambition, in political lifo? is
seldom stayed. He would work for
the third term, the fourth term and so
on, and on. The Democratic party iu
our opinion, is just the party to staud
by a good man for life, even as Presi
dent. 60 we object to the third term
business for any office, and stand by
President Grant aud ?. Ooverh'or
Chamberlain, who both denounce it. V
c- The Court House.
At last it really appears that we are
agaiu to have one, and if the plaus
and specifications as shown us are
fai'hfully carried out, we will have
good reaeon to be proud of our Court
House. In response to the advertise
ment of tho bounty Commissioners
asking for bids for its erection, four
estimates were handed in, the highest
530,500, and the lowest, that of Mr.
J. H. Livingston, 828.90C.
The contract of course was awarded
to Mr. Livingston who we understand
will begin work at an cnrly day, as it
is said that its completion will be re
quired within ?is ?h?rt a tira& :u possi
ble. It is no email job to put together
such a pile of bricks, mortar nndgrun
ito as this will be.
The gentlemanly architect, Mnj. K.
E. B. Hewetaon of Columbia, who fur
nishes the plans and specifications for
the building, has given us the follow
ing particulars in regard to its sis*,
finish, and general accommodations.
The structure will be 61 feet in
width and 106 feet long, with a porti
co projecting 10 leet in front suppor
ted by four handsome Corinthian col
umns of brick, but iron Cupitnls, tho
whole colored to represent granite.
The lower utory will be divided in
to separate rooms for the use of the
various county officials, and will be
13 feet ftom floor to ceiling. This
story ii traversed from front to rear,
and across from side to vide by an
open arched corridor' 9 feet wide
and 11 feet 0 in che* high. Euch offi
cers room opens both, on these corri
dors, and outside upon the grounds,
nil to have fire places in them, ami
the more important ouos separate and
strongcr^smaJJ ^OQJU}S^tUUe>.pro?erva-.
tion of their records. All of the stops,
lower window sills, and water table
running around the base of the build
ing nis to be of Granite which will give
quite a finish to its general appear
ance. Passing up cither of the hand
some flight of steps that gracefully
wind their way to the portico on the
upper story you will enter a . spacious
hall occupying almost.the entire bulild
ing,,and with a;ceiling- of twenty foot
in the clear, ebout two thirds of the way
down a handsome railing cuts of jthe
further progress of outsiders, the ire
maining portion being sacred to {he
Judge, the Lawyers and jurymen who
each havo their private entrances from
the rear of the building, and will not be
compelled on interesting occasions, to
push and elbow their way through the.
crowd, to their seats. In the rear of
the Judges seat are two Jury rooms,
and a private room for the Judges uso
there will be four large firo places, in
the c??rt robraYoPwiuter. use, and a
thorough system of vcntilatiou for pro
tection against the heat of Summer..
Perhaps some may say, all of this
sounds well, and looks well - from the
architects plans, but uro we going to
have it ? We think so as the contract
has been made with a responsible par
ty, and there aro other responsible
parties who are willing to try it
at the snme price should he get sick
of hit bargain, but Mr. Livingston
means business, and we trust that
next summer will see the court ^house
completed as we have described it
above.
The building we understand will
front on Main street) opposite the
Baptirt Church, this is certainly a
good idea, as persons passing up and
down main street, see not only its
hnndso.nc ornamental front, but both
?tides of the Main building, in their
rich, plain, architectural beauty,
which "Is well worth looking nt, we
think our commissioners have shown
a good deal of taste in locating it as
they have d me.
Prejudice.
How many . men there are, whose
'prospects in life have been utterly
forfeited,- whose honor and happiness
liavc beeu wrecked, by a single pre-'
'judieo! mo3t of us have ample powers
and menus, to judge And appreciate I
things and persons; then why not use ;
^em^^^^et^^he^^^^y^^^^n^J
I ?^WP?y^nTm?^rl^^h?b^a^ *orc
doubtful (.of. its weight or purity, you
)ar?;.vcry likely to assure yourself of
the truth by judicious means, and yet,
'because he. has a good cunt ou his
back, air oily tongue, and a pleasant
countenance, 10 look upon, you will
introduce to your family, without due
inquiry, some dissolute person, who
will steal your money, under the pre- <
tenco of borrowing it, disturb your I
domestic ties, and involve you in
financial embarrassment, and mental
mortification, and repentance.
Beware, then, of prejudice. On
what side soever you employ your
judgment, whether to "approve or
disapprove, look well at the thing,
and turn it over on all sides, before
you furin a judgment; a rash judg
ment is a prejudice*, and thai prejudice
is an error, which may beget other
errors. The minds of ordinary people
are mndn up of these prejudices or
false opinions, which create more
misery in the family circle, and the
social sphere, than probnbly arises
from any other cause. And the judg
ment of this class of n*rml?? ?-? ---si
led astray by the wilful and purposed
media tiny of those, who desire to reek
vengeance, and vent their spite upon
their betters. Prejudice degrades the
mind, and when wrong is done under
it, it becomes a co-worker with the
evil one.
I ?Render*, bewareof prejudice.
A Gentleman.
One cnnnot be polite and well m.nn
ncred without kind feelings and a good
heart. All the rules of etiquette, all
tho haud books, and "guides to socie
ty" iu the world, are worthless, if you
hnve nothing within your soul which
tenches you, to do unto others as you
would have thein do onto you. You
may learn to bow, and to shake hands
accordiug to the best rule* ot deport
ment; you may mnke calls, exactly at
the right time, and understand tho
corners of your visiting cards thorough
ly; but if you have $pite in your heart,
and envy iu your soul, you will never
bottuly well-mannered. If you de
sire to beast, to be conspicuous, to
monopolize attention, to hurt the fee?
j iugs, of innocent peoplo, and to sow
detention bctwo.cn "friends, you can
; not mako a gentleman of yourself, by
I nny number of airs and gracc3. But
j if you arc kind and good, and wish
I people well, and prefer to say plcas
' ant things when you can, you will be
polite without trying to bo, and only
silly peoplo will criticise nny form of
hearty welcome, any effort to make
them comfortuble that may appear
proper to you.

The Court House will be located here
