" No." he replied ; " I did not accept ?Ttlilrd term for two excellent reasons. In the first place, the people did not want me, aud, In tue second, I have bad enough of it." There is a mild sort of a sensation in San ??ruiclsoo concerning Gov. Tilden'? eligibility to the presidency A man who has known the Governor from jjlldliood insisu that he was not born In this oountry, ,04 consequently cannot be l'resldent. All of the UMraphlcal authorities, however, agree that be was worn to New-Lebanon, Columbia County. N. Y., In 1814. _? a* his father anil grandfather were In this country __c before that time, there can be little doubt that Mr. Cadeo'* birthplace will never keep him out of the White Haas? He would undoubtedly give a good deal to be as fgr* of that missing ono vote aa lie Is of Ins birthplace. It comes out at last why the Democrats who went to New-Orleans could not be made to believe the jtorr of EH?. Flnkaton. Their overwhelming modesty ?rercntcd them. Mr. George W. Julian thus explains the case to a Herald correspondent : " She Is a terrible jjar, and no one who listened to her story from beginning ta end put any faith in Its reliability. No doubt was en Igrtalaed about an outrage having been perpetrated -m ser husband, but by whom or from what cause was _-? b? any means clearly shown. This woman declared _at ?se herself was terribly gashed and mutilated, but Itwat tiniailHr that all lier gaping wounds were in places on h"T person beyond the Inspection of a modest cotn _ltt?e of Investigation. She frequently contradicted her aim ?Wry. sud her statement would fall stillborn before any intelligent Jury authorised to hear aud weigh testi? mony." The contest for the Massachusetts Scnator glUp terms likely to narrow down to Mr. limit wi 11 and Qonptmtnm George F. Hoar. The Botton Adrertiter already ?sows a decided preference for the latter gentle mnt altkoiigli it admit? that Mr. Dont well's friends pro ?tu to regard his reelection as already settled. The treat osjectlou to Mr. Bout well, The Adrertiter says. Is tbst ?s Is not In sympathy with the progressive and re? forming spirit of bis party ; in all of the issues In the State between honesty and corruption in politic?, his personal Influence ha? been felt to lie on the wrong side, ?j for Mr. Hoar, The Advertiser has this to say: "lie is sot a candidate by his own seeking. He boa never aourbt public employment, but bas often declined It, or ??espied with great reluctance. Having once accepted, ?_ service hns been distinguished for ability, patriotism, and unswerving devotion to the public intercut?. He kss been now eight years In the lionne of Representa? tives, and, with tlic exception of Gen.

His transfer to the Senate would be an honor to Massachusetts, and a very Jn*t recognition of services already rendered to the am try. The nation admits that it has made its Democratic friends unhappy by its advice of a week ago that they quietly acquiesce In the inauguration of Have?. It therefore, soothes them this week by telling them that it believes the vote of Florida aud Louisiana right full) belongs to Tilden but has been given to Haves in accordant'? with the direction and connivance of the ?Bepubln-au otlleial hierarchy from top to bottom." Trt, In *P'te ,,f this, it persists In its advice, not to resist Hayes's inauguration, or to think of setting up a second President, but to trust to time and the ?.valieiiiiig of the pabilo conscience for retire??. On the question of n iseond President 1: says : " A dejare klug is, In our day. amflciently ludicrous and contemptible sp.ctacle. A ?V/are President would be something both more lud?? amos and more contemptible. Any man who played any task role in this country would, after the newspapers had been at work on him for a few months, have reason to wish he had never been born. In so fui as his claims appeared in a serious light they would, sooner or later, produce considerable popular irritation by bringing ridicula on tue Government, and reproducing among us aa sksurd simulacrum of the disputed succession? which tivediitie so much to discredit the ' eff-te monarchies ef Eur.'pe,' ?ad by clouding, though ever so slightly, the public credit A year would probably not elapse be? fore the Democratic party would be covered with odium for having l.uuiilia.ted the country unco more in the eyes of foreigners and brought popular govt i innent Into disrepute, ami Hayes would become the object or ayapathy and respect as the real representative of the astleaal power and dignity. The Democratic party has certainly no hold ou the popular imagination that wil! ftutify It? Indulging In auy such ventures.

At Parwell Hall, on Monday night, he got the men at close tiurtera, as he himself expressed It. " How are you get thuj on, Mr. C. I" he asked.

The list was long, and as Mr. Jay read '.iff the uaitiea which had reached the pinnacle In tin* several walks of Me, he was greeted with npplnua? often voclfcroun and long continued. And not only in the forum, i the college, and the courtroom had Columbia distinguished herself, but on the field of battle.

It is learned from aB entirely trustworthy source that President (?rant Iihs determined to send the name of (Jen. Daniel Ii. Sickles to tbe Senate, for con? firmation us United States Attorney for tbe Southern District of New-York, in place of Ueorge Bliss, whose term has expired. Oen. Sickles was the Presid? nt's first choice for tho place, and It was intended to send his name to the Senate early in tho week, but he was not tbe choice of the opponents of Mr. Bliss, who siieccdi'd m getting the nomination withheld. It Is possible thnt Oen. Sickles'* name will be sent to the Senate to-<lay, although its postponement for two weeks is not ira |ir?ibablo. Mr. Bliss continues to discharge the duties of IM iilBce by appointment from tho court, and ho and his supporters are still huperul that th? contest for the place will assume such complications that he will be reappoluted. _______________ TAMMASY ON THE PRESIDENCY.
