THE THIRD TERM. Another Southern Capitalist on Emperor and President. Nothing in the Way?Order the Crown and Open Court. A . PARSEE'S PRESUMPTION. Europ* and Amerloa Judged by a "Child of the Sun." Indian Bitterness and Yankee Ooolness Surprising. FOUNTAINS OF THOUGHT FROM THE JUNGLE Cetisr and Grant. [Prom Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper.] Tie article on "Grant's Third Term," which we printed several weeks ago, has been quoted, under tne head of "Csesarism," extensively throughout the country, and has appeared at length in English auu rrencn journals. it la, However, Just to uj 1 that the idea to which we In that article gave strong expression, though a popular one, was the Journalistic conception of tbe Hxrald, and the gossip of Newspaper Row says that It was the doing of James Gordon Bennett, from Paris. The Hkbixn has the ere lit of attending at the birtn of the discussion of Caesarism, and we desire only to be known for whatever blue, bright light we may have thrown upon tbe cradle of the Infant monster. We recur to the subject because the little whisper of orlticlsm which was heard when we first wrote about it has swollen Into a thunderous storm. By the administration Journals the subject has been touched lightly and pooh-poohed. We believe that they are honest, and that in their love of > party they do not clearly Bee the danger of a movement for the perpetuation of power in one very common, hard, unpatriotic man. We shall try to do General Grant no injustice; but shall only Inquire what circumstances led Bennett, to name the popular idea "Caesarlani." History teaches us that Julius Caesar, in his early years, was quick to learn; but It Is written of General Grant that In his early years he cared nothing lor learning, and that at West Point be did not Btand very well in bis class. Indeed, Grant may be said to be a man wltbout learning; and so far it 1b preposterous to compare blm with Caesar, who has felt us a work in literature which is studied In colleges the world over, and which has been a model of stvie for many great writers. General Grant's writings are nngrammatlcal. Caesar had a lively imagination, while Grant is cold, stolid, beely and dull-minded. He has the one faculty of setting his Jaws to a purposenothing more. Here, again, tbe comparison with Caesar tails. Caesar was an orator before the Senate of Rome; Grant's speeches before the people are singularly destitute of respectability and common sense. Caesar was affable and generous; Grant is dogged and sullen In his demeanor. Wlille in the armv he was never able to excite tbe enthusiasm of his soldiers, and his mercenary disposition has been bitterly criticised by his own lollowers. We remember to have beard Wendell Phillips say that he wanted another term in order to make another million 01 dollars. While be was Consul, Cassar restrained the unconstitutional powers of the Roman Senate. The only memorable actions of General Grant, in respeot to the American Senate, are those in which be asked that body to outrage the Constitution lor Presidential purposes. Caesar procured the passage of a law lor the distribution of lands among the poorer classes. Grant has done nothing that has shown his love of the peoDie. Caesar is aald to have been the most perfect gentleman of his day; Shakespeare calls him Tbe foremost man of all this world. There is no record showing that General Grant has any claim to be considered^ Caesar in his breeding. No one can say that Grant has genius, ana we Are sure that Caesar had. Next to Napoleon the Koman general was the most brilliant warrior the world ever saw. Grant's victories were won by a -dogged determination not to know when disaster came; and though be was whipped several times during the march through the Wilderness he never knew it, and he became victor in the end only by lorce of numbers and the strength of his arms. Was there anything brilliant in Miat T The victory Is with the thousands of brave men who stood like a Chinese wall between the Confederacy and their loved land. Shall we then find no excuse for calling the movement to keep Grant in power Caesarism t Only In this?the people loved Caesar and were willing to place his statue among the statues of the gods. Tbe republican party does not love Grant, but It appears willing to give him the power that the Romans gave to Caesar. Further than that the comparison becomes ridiculous. Even In that there Is a bitter contrast. Ctesarlsm was tbe floarlnff of tbe eairle. Orantlsm in the instinct of the crow. Views of General Nahone, of Virginia, -on thk Cars, Atlantic, Mississippi and) Ohio Railroad, August 21, 1873. j Travelling cast from the Montgomery White Sulphur Springs over the above route, which extends ffom Bristol, Tenn., to Norfolk, Va., I met the famous Virginia railroad King, General William Manone, the President of the road. He was seated in the smoking car, enjoying his cigar and chatting with Colonel John A. McCaul, of Roanoke, the coun. ty so well known as that or John Randolph. What was the subject of their conversation when I Introduced myself I don't know, but I presume railroad matters or State politics, in which both the gentlemen are considerably interested. general mahone Is a thin, wiry little man, not more than Ore feet three or four inches la height, sallow complexion, high cheek bones, piercing blue eyes, full but thin -dark beard and weighing not more than ninety pounds. He wears a broad-brimmed Panama hat, the leaf hooked up on the left side, which is said to * have cost $126, and was presented to him by a * prominent gentleman of New York; a linen coat nearly as loose as a duster, buttoned to the neck, and dark pantaloons complete his attire, giving fcla a somewhat remarkable appearance. He was a successful officer during the days of the late Confederacy, when he gained the reputation of one of the "hardest fighters" of tne war; bnt his success since then as a railroad diplomat and financier has made him a greater celebrity than ever. As I was already slightly known to the General, he remarked:? "Well, sir, 1 see the Herald is fighting Cesarism, and I think very properly, too; but if a third term constitutes Casarism, and Grant wishes it, I think us labor Is In vain." Correspondent?Do yon think Grant will be elected to a third termf General? Elected, certainly, If be wishes, and I have no doubt bnt that be noes. He nas everything In his own tends, and Is at tbe bead of a party that will go to pieces without bit. Correspondent?Is It jour opinion, then, that In tbe event ot a third term lor General Grant tbe Republic will disappear and an empire be established In Its stead ? gbnbral? I'm not ao sure that an empire will be established; that all depends on tbi ambition op general grant, with whose Ideas I am not sufficiently familiar to give an opinion on the snbject. Correspondent?wnat influences in tbe conntry would be in favor of Grant's re-election ? ubnbral?The monetary Influence of the country would be decidedly in lavor of his re-election, as it waa In favor of hts last election. Even here in our own state all the national banka were strongly In favor 01 Grant, and they will be so acain. Then an tne leaerai omciais, both at home and abroad, who aro almost oountiess, would be a unit for his re-election. Besides these there are numerous other influences ot minor importance, all of which combined to oo-operate with General Grant's own desire to become President a third time, or perpetual President, could not fail to accomplish their object, and una Bouoasnon over any public opposition that might be organised against him. As to the latter part of vunr interrogation It Is my opinion that these-samiS influences are now In favor of an empire, perhaps in advanoe of Grant's own ideas on the subject. Correspondent?If General Grant was ambHinus enough to assume the rOle of a Caesar, do you think the people of the North would thus tamely submit to be deprived of their liberties? Gbniral?Yes, they would submit. The change would only be a day's sensation. Then the difference would not be so great after all, and it wonid come so easily and quietly that no notice beyond some newspaper thunder would be taken of It, and a way would soon be (bund to silsaoe the newspa? pers. The federal courts now assume partisan jurisdiction over an matters In the South, even to / disposing or stats oovbrmmbnts, and if the occasion arises at tbib North they will do so there also. I am scarcely certain but that they do so now at the North. Consequently theranrould ha verr little Chants m case of an emptre.mnd as NKW YC to resistance the people of the North would never dream oi that. Cokkiupondbnt? How about the people or the South T GKNBKAb?The people or the Southf (With great astonishment.) why, sir. the people or the South have nothing at all to do with the matter, and I thlnn it would be presumptuous in tUem to liave anything either to say or do in the premises. We are regarded and treated a* CUNQDKRKD PKOVINCK*. For myself I look upon the (Southern states In that light, and I don't think thoy should have any concern as to what form the government or the country assumes. It can make bat very little difference to them, situated politically as theg are now. We fought for our independence and were 'i defeated. We can*t and ilnn't aviuwi irnm th? United states government all we fought Tor. We stood bv oar Stale government*, and U Virginia Receded again I would stand by my State and light the war over again. We should have nothing whatever to do with national polities or national aflfclrs. There la where we made the mistake In the last Presidential campaign, and that is why Greolcy was defeated. There was a big split then In the republican party ol the North, which, If It had been takeu advantage of judiciously, might have defeated Grant and elected Greeley; but as noou as the Southern Stales held conventions and endorsed Greeley, then ihe people ol the North looked upon him as our candidate and kis doom was sealed. Had we of tn? South said nothing, but stayed at home and attended to our buslnoss, and then gone to the (tolls and voted, Greeiey would have been elected. We ought to have nothing to say in regard to national politics. What we want to establish is our pkcitniary and m atrblal in d1phn drhcb, control our State governments, manage our domestic affairs as tar as thev will allow us, live peaceably and orderly as good citizens under the government, rendering unto Owsar the things which Oiesar exacts as nut, and quietly await the development of events. CoRRBsroNDurr?Then, In general terms, you regard an empire as Inevitable if General Grant's ambition takes that shape 1 Ghnrral? Yes; I think if Grant desires it he can wear a kingly crown or wield an Imperial sceptre. Us has the power aud the influence at his back, ana no opposition worthy of the name. I think, thougli, On ths other hand, that If Grant Is not re-elected to a third term, or does not assame the rOie of a dictator, monarch or emperor, TUK republican party wiix go TO pikcbs. and by r combination of the various political elements, not pledged to that party, it will be defeated In '76, and, perhaps, a better system of government inaugurated; but this is mero soecu IVU, nil?4| no * QtUU UV'IVIC, CTC1J UlUUj^ uoycuuo on Grant. A Magi ob C?e?arlsm la Asia, Europe and America. To tbb Kditor or thb Herald:? Sib?I atn a Parsee. When I left India for Europe and New York, of the many strange adventures I may have expected to beiali me In my travels through foreign countries, the least possible one, ana the least dreamed of, was my rushing Into American print to give out my opinions. Tonr articles on Cacsarlsm overpower my modesty, and force on me to give vent to the exuberenoe of my feelings. Though 1 have been accustomed to examine and study the different conditions of the people of different countries to test and compare with that of my own, yet nothing short of your fascinating articles on Csesarism, and the popular way. adapted to the meanest understanding of treating It, could have induced me to look to THK FUTURE BY TUB UflHT OK TUB FAST AND PRESENT. I know my unfitness to give an opinion on American politics. First?1 como irom a country whose whole political activity consists in bitter * and silent, yet impotent, hatred of the whole Mussulman population to the paramount ruling power, and the supine Indifferenoe of the Hindoos, whose love of money passes every other consideration of country and government; and In the direst necessity the powers ruling at the utmost may expect irom them the benefit of their prayers, but nothing more. They will bury their treasures, and they oannot be too carelul of their blood. It is not tlielr fault. They have been accustomed to do so for centuries, and they will do so again. mey nave always oeen a iaw-aDiuing people, anu have an amount of passive resistance which, if It had ever passed into active, would have shaken off any bouds by a mere effort, and it is doubtful whether it would have cost them one-tenth of the .pains and troubles they ultimately suffered. But this they have never done. Their country for centuries Is being OVERRUN BT MARAUDERS, and Englishmen are held in no other light. They arc only kinder, luster and better*behaved than their predecessors whose path they at present tread, and therefore thqr shall have the benefit of tbeir prayers, and the gentle wishes of the Hindoos shall go in their cause. The test of what I Bay is found In the Indian public debt. Out of a public debt of ?101,000,000 a sum of ?86,000,000 is held in England, and the balance of ?10,000,000, which Is held In India, is divided betweeu banks, English bankers, European mercantile houses and the natives. In the real sense of the word the only loyal population in India is the Parsee, which would give Its best blood and stake its whole lortune In the cause of its rulers. But it is only a handful of sand in a vast desert, and it could only retard but cannot stop the current of events. Of course the general apathy of the people 1b sometimes relieved by the rising aspirations of educated young men, yet they seldom soar to representation, much leBs t? Independence, but are conflned to a greater share of political power. Second?1 have not travelled through the United states, and I heve only been in New York exactly two months to-day. But If it be true that the citv 01 New York Is the concentration ef the essence ot enterprise, energy, wealth and commercial and political activity of the country, then I have seen and heard enough, if not sufficient to form an Independent opinion, at least to give a qnota of materials to others to add to their already accumulated mass for the formation of an independent opinion. I have been two months here; 1 have mingled and conversed with all the classes of people; 1 have tried my best to elicit information on all the topics that agitate the people, and If sometimes 1 may have failed the failure did not owe anything to my bashfulness. Alter leaving India the first land that attracted my notice and challenged a comparison with my country was ITALY. Naples, though not a political seat, was In a sort of terment. occasionally I saw people pass me gesticulating, and on inquiring the cause of my guide 1 was Informed that it related to the proposed abolition of monasteries in the Italian Paritament. Rome was all agitation. I saw an immense crowd gathered near the Parliament house, with passions in every face, which at any moment seemed ready to burst out.' I did not know the language, but I knew sufficiently of the topics that agitated It. I saw a living, moving passion in the mass, and I should not at all have been surprised to see it upheave Into a revolution, 1 SAW PARIS at a time when she was in the throes of revolution. The government of M. Thiers was tottering and Its existence was counted by hours. The interpellation of the Right was the topic of conversation that distracted every household. My host was a stanch republican, my hostess a stancher Bonaparttst and my chambermaid the stanchest democrat. The first was in love with Thiers; the second with the splendors oi the Empire, and called the monarchists, repnollcans and democrats incapables and Imbeciles; the third, my youag and pretty chambermaid, ran into ecstasies about M. Uasibetta. bnt wished success to If. Thiers because her favorite s cause was bound up in his. 1 had to sail cautiously between my host and hostess' politics and to shroud mrself Into platitudes. 1 fell heartily Into all the opinions ol my chambermaid. Paris was divided Into three parties. All that I oould discover from the boulevards and cajrs was tnai i? vcrjr nuiau uiiuuritj was in lavor of tbe party of interpellation, ana a large majority, composed of two sections, coalesce*! into one In favor 01 If. Thiers. Merchants, well-to-do people and men or mature age were in favor or M. Thiers. Tbe yonng men, tbougb In admiration of 1L Gambetta, wished ML Thiers success, because they, like my chambermaid, thought the great democratic cause bound up in that of the conservative statesman. Did I not see Paris ou the night of M. Thiers' resignation, and did I not ask of Uod to crown my wlsnes with barricades? Did i not wish mvaelf fighting for tbe cause r And "what was Paris to ine or 1 to Paris?" Never till then did I know that in great national convulslon<r only some deliberate, and many Join a cause on the Impulse or tbe moment. They seek for their excuse, for reasons alter wards. in london, tbougb I did not see the agitation or Paris or Rome, yet it had lalleu to my lot to see the largest gathering composed or different sections of the working cIusm*, with drums beating and color* (lying, in Hyde park. Their purpose was to petition Parliaments to-mittgate the severities of the laws against the employed. I never saw a John Bull who did not strike his fist against the table and say. "I should like to see how they do It," when told anything about the Ininngement of his liberty. 1 have ventured to touch even so llghthr on tbe political agitations or the countries I passed through?first, because they were novelties to me; tbev challenged a comparison with the lethargic and Indolent population of India, whom nothing eaa move and nothing agitate; second, I saw so much OOHIHNOT OP 8IN8I AND OOGINOT OP RRASONINO, in what the masses of the three capitals wanted that they made me expect to see la the United Mates nothlav short of complete ooUftiom and Unit >RK HERALD, SATURDAY', vldoal freedom, a people alive to tbe sense of what they are and what ihejr will bo. and a mock of political wisdom runniug up in the aggregate to the sum total of the three countries 1 passed through. I thought them calmly watching and serenely collecting the lessons of wisdom ior tuc avoidance of similar ahoals aud pitfalls. Your AKT10LK8 ON CAKSAKIiUf wou mo up lrom these pieasuut dreamt; articles written wnb ail the adornments or language, with so much political wisdom aud lore thought, with a cogency or reasoning and persistency or purpose, to my Idea unsurpassed; the campaign opened and continued with so much fervor and zeal and responded to from all tbe quarters by all the newspapers or tbe States, wbich, howsomucb differing in sentiments and details, never dispute tbe gravity or tbe alarm aud danger to the liberty or tbe people; articles wblch so much agitated a foreigner unused te freedom, whioh would have caused deepest agitation and alarm in Paris and London, (eU dead on tbe ears or the people or tbe civy or New York, the most important or the Union. Surely, Mr. Editor, I was not prepared for this, aud was moBt disagreeably surprised at so singular a phenomenon. I LANDED IN NBW YORK determined to see evorytblng in roscwater colors. I told the oabman to drive me to the hotel recommended me as a very fashionable place, and the informant was right. The brut tblug that made mo open m? mouth wide us possible was the cabmau's demand for (are?$6 00?lor a distance traversing which in Loudon and Paris 1 was cheated into paying two shilling* at Ural, but afterwards 1 took oaro to uav nnlv aha I n?f<i hi ?n?inn m not to be caught a second time. Since then 1 have taken good care to avoid single carriages, and when I am forced to take them I have always make a point to stipulate the fare before. I have drove tour miles lor il round the Oentral Park, which Is, of course, cheap, until I found out a cheaper mode to drive double the distance in company lOr twenty-live oeuts. Why, ( find now New York a very cheap piace indeed, and 1 can spare a lesson or two to a new corner. Everything here transcended my expectations. The oommeroial energy, enterprise and activity, the go-aheaiiativeiletta, the speculative element, accompanied with a daring precision of calculation, and the little or no Interval taken between the oonception anu execution, surprised me beyond all bounds. In the first two days 1 thought the people somewhat too reserved, bnt on the verty first introduction the reserve melted into warmth. Nothing Ui my eyes seemed and still seems to surpass TUH KINDLY URBANITY OK THB AMERICAN PIOPI.K, with which they luralshed me the information asked. But one extraordinary thing I remarked about them was that the poverty here, aud here only, is not regarded as a crime, but as a niimoitune. The tailing are not here looked down u;>on, the rising not looked up to with envy, The ups and downs in human aflblrs are reckoned as matters of everyoay occurrence; the fallen may rise and the risen may fail. The unfailing and Inexhaustible confidence in self seems to carry the day here. U oue has lost all but confidence in self, why, he can begin the world again to-morrow, or even to-day. He generally here looks around him and calculates on his fingers the men of the highest note in fortune and fame; he finds the majority ot them had commenced U(e with tar less prospects than he. and he should be surely less than tticni not to succeed in the same path, enthusiasm aud a spirit of rivalry Soad him on, and, why, there he goes a moving, lis energy is stimulated, like a horse wuo finds the burden easy to roll alter the strain of the first pull. The surrounding circumstauces and the surrounding associations (the neighbor Dick was the first pioneer in opening that district ol wealth, and there ho is now rolling in millions) stimulate the energy or American youths and develop the resources of the country so last and so marvellously. 1 saw three gentlenioii at the hotel settling a railway project oi about 200 miles over a bottle of wlue. To my surprise 1 was told by one of them eight days alter, "it is all right," and the contract for construction was already given away at $21,000 a mile. Oi course the survey ol the road was taken beiore, but a nucleus was wanting and that was supplied in a weak. l was supplied with every information with alacrity, and often I was agreeably surprised to see them go out of the way to do nie a service. The greatest peculiarity about them was the absence of envy. Home time after my arrival I commenced probing the political topics, and all seemed rather shying at them. Their answers to me seemed contused aud dilatory, and ended in platitudes and commonplaces. They showed au amount ot iguoruuee in the knowledge of foreign politics to me perfectly surprising. Hut 1 was so mnch impressed with the greatness ot the people that 1 did not take this Ui uad light; on the contrary, i put tne most laverable construction. I said to myseir, What havj these great people to do with the bickerings and quarrels or the Old World ? Are they not secure in all they want, have they not attained the Olympian height ot freedom, and do they not enjoy It t great expectations. Your first article on Cscaariam I read In bed, and It at once put me Into a fever lieat. 1 rose up and hastily dressed mysell. 1 expected to see every American gesticulating In and out of hotel at tne very suspicion of an iutringement of h\s liberty. 1 expected to near of indignation meetiuics and party protests in a few days. 1 expected to see Americans rousing themselves to a sense ol their danger. I came down. Everything, to my chagrin, was calm and quiet. 1 was at a loss to account tor it. I began looking out for anybody I knew oi that i might have a talk with him upon the subject uppermost in my thoughts. At last 1 pitched upon one. Q. I hope yon have read the Herald of this morning, sir r A. Yes, sir. Q. Have you read tne article on Capsarlsm ? I think you run a great political danger. A. it is only a newspaper alarm in dearth of subjects. We know wnat we are about; and yet where is the harm ? One man is a* good as the otheryet it will not be. He seemed to me very cool indeed I I managed to bring another to converse on the same topic, and mv surprise was all the greater at his reply. He said?1"It Is the business oi the politicians and not ours. Ther are paid for it. My dear fellow, let us mind our own business. Things will take their course and shape themselves accordingly." Articles followed articles?the newspapers of the country confessed the gravity of the alarm, and yet the people around me I saw supremely Indifferent. Tuen and then only it struck me that people so energetic, practical, lar-seelng and calculatiug in tue development of personal wealth and resources ot the couutry, but so careless and indifferent to the luture of their liberty, and deaf to the trumpets of alarm sounded In their ears, must have some unknown undercurrent OP DEMORALIZATION running through them. 1 began to look arsund morn nlnnAlv and with (tan ripipronr* I l>?or tzi uiK. mlt the following observations Pint?Politicians and officials are growing up into a separate and powerful caste, and the indifference 01 tue proper guides oi public opinion allows it to work up and manage as it pleases the lower strata or public opinion.

One gentleman said to me, "Excuse me, sir; i think you reel the impertinence of our servants, or course, it is not so in your country. I am myself averse to such familiarities." I replied, "On the contrary, Blr, 1 like it; they only assert their rights as men and equals, and that dignifies them In my eyes. I am sorry it is not so In my country." Ihe gentleman returned, "Perhaps yon are new to it?novelty has Its charms, but will soon wear off. For my part, 1 hope we shall have soon done with It." To me, after the ubrald's articles, the remarks seemed slgnlflcant. It was the growing desire ot exclusiveness and a separation or classes. Sixth?There is a growing tendency In the middle class to omr a sort or Eastern adulation to the rich men; the rich men take it with unusual gravity as their due. Seventh?A tendency is growing up or widening thb distinctions op ulassrs by the formation oi select and exclusive circles or society. Eighth?Vast accumulation of wealth In the hands orthefowand their luvtsk expenditure creates in others a desire oi rivalry and a temptation to live beyond their means.

Ninth?A growing tendency It springing up In the traybllino am8kicanh to boast of the splendors and riches of their cities and tne luxuries of their home llie; every thing iher get elsewhere Is too poor to be compared to what they get at home; thereby giving out a poor idea of republican simplicity and a hankering predilection tor the splendors of monarchy.

Believe me, Mr. Editor, your very obedient servant, A PA USEE. New York, August 17, 1873. A Tnan'i views on Cae?srlsm. Oak Farm, near Austin, Texas, August 10, 1873. To thk Editor ok tok Hkrald:? In a recent issue the Hbkald springs the question of the posalole candidacy of General Grant for reelection, and, while takms no uositive irround in the premises, rather disapproves such a step, as being at variance with republican principles and as tending to familiarize the public mind with the { idea of the continued rule of one man, which is essentially monarchical. The Hkrald Is always ' foremost in I anticipating important national i8sub9, and In agitating this question of General Grant's J re-election to a third term It has given the first expression to a secret alarm lelt very generally < among the people. Alai u is the word, because If General Grant should ruu again he most break through a precedent long observed?poll down a harrier raised by arbitrary custom that the dims of the people had come to believe a constitutional obstacle?and It is a wl.se instinct of our nature to * take alarm at any palpable departure from estab- ( lislied usages, for usages become established gene- . raily becausa they were born of necessity aud round 1 good. Hut some precedents aro observed long . after their usefulness has ceased and their origin * been forgotten, simply because no one rises who has the nerve to announce the voice ok common sense, in opposition to a widespread aud firmly grounded superstition, lsut the impressions of education, I simply, muse always in the end prove too weak i beiore the force of reason, and so the prevailing notion that no man should be elected President of 1 the United states three times in succession must 1 be exploded by the same test. c In tni case of minor civil officers throughout the i country no such idea obtains as that it is lncom- j pattble with the public weal to retain tnem In ortlco r longer than a given time. On the contrary, when a a county or State official is found filling his post with marked ability aud falthluluess the people delight to keep him in place, aud often do until his head Is hoary. There 1b no good reason why this should not be the case with every oillclal in the land, irom constable to I President, but many pood reasons why it should be t the established practice. Wliou a man has become 2 familiar with the duties of an official station, aud shown both capacity and integrity In their per- ? formance, what benefit to themselves can his people hope lor by replacing him with some other, inexperienced and untried r Does not the public feel more confident, and A UKKATBIt SENSE OK SECURITY J when It can reflect that the locomotive ot State is t in the hands of a long trusted engineer, who has J never wrecked his tiainv In the constitutional 11 provision lor trie election of a President every lour yeaia the idea would seem to be not lor the pur- , pose of electing some new man every time, but to j| give the people the advantage of an opportunity [; for doing so in case the man whom they had before cnosen proved unsatisfactory to the country. As for the danger to the Republic resulting Irom the J re-election of General Grant to a third term, it v must be all imaginary. He would take the office t which now bind him. No new man could t>e re- < .strained any more, but would Have the same power J and opportunities for mischief, If any there exists. , The lact Is . NOBODY SKHIOrST.T THINKS THAT 0ENBR1L GRANT II AS DKSIUN8 UPON TIIK ltKPUBMC, bat tf lie could quietly effect a change In the or- i gmilc structure or the government there are more \ I>eople than one who would lend him a helping 1 hand and think themselves patriots. The Hebrews were not ho much to he blamed for desiring a king as for bringing their affairs to such a dbsh as . made one necessary. If Heaven has determined to g send us an arbitrary ruler (and it may be, for we certainly deserve and probably need one), Oeneral 1 Grant is not by any means the man of all others from whom we should pray to be delivered. [ The whole truth of the business is, if General j Grant sees fit to run a third time for the oillce of President of the United States it Is HIS I'KKFKCT KllillT 1 to do so without violating any obligation or rea- o sonable sense or propriety, and If the people want a him lor a ihird term it Is their right to have him. ? These sentiments are not confined in their sphere, nor are thev views from a republican standpoint, as your writer Is a democrat, whatever that is, Irora his birth: was a Confederate soldier from ? May, lufll, to May, 1895; thought he was on the right side then, and still thinks so. K. B. J.

Dinsmore against the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, of which John C. j Fremont was one of tbe original promoters, was jj yesterday In this conrt on a motion to restrain x the payment of a rent agreed to be pabl to the Pa- ? cine Railroad of Missouri. According to the > statement made on behalf or the plain tlflfc, " when the road waa originally Incorporated by the United States with a very large j land grant, Springfield was named as the ? eastern terminus, tliire being then another road & named the Southwest Pacific Kailroad, chartered to run irom St. Louis to Springfield. It is also stated " that a provision was put in the charter of the Atlantic and Pacific road, that they might arrange A or consolidate with any road on the same line, k The Southwest Company had Its charter revoked, c and a South Pacific Company was organized in its ; ? place, and a part of its line, from Franklin to ' ? Springfield, has been absorbed by the Atlantic and pacific Hallroad Company, leaving a very short gap between franklin and St. Louis belonging to the 2 Pacific Hallroad of Missouri, whlcn extends west- >, erly almost as far as the plaintiff's railroad and far ci norm Ol u. <uo pwiuiiri vimiiiH nwiuur ui iw j shares or tbe Atlantic ana Pacific Railroad, and one J who has never consented to tbe lease or the i'a- ? ciflc Railroad of Missouri, that tbe lease of tbe n, South Pacific Railroad would have been ultra tiros. _ He charges further that the lease was so Impro- / vulent as to give rise to suspicions of fraud. V AJter hearing the argument, Judge Daniels took the papers, reserving bis decision. Justice Cox and the Colored IpMlal United Z State* Deputy Marshal. I It will do remembered that William H. Horton, a " colored man, was one of the United States special / Deputy Marshals at the last election, and arrested ' Justice Cox. In April ho was brought beiore the " Justice, it seems, on a charge of "being drunk and d dtsordcrty," and was sentenced to six months i J In the Penitentiary, boing unable to give v $1,000 bonds to keep the peace. uu | . the commitment waa endorsed, "Keep i i this man the full term."' On the llth inst. he was again committed to the Penitentiary by Justice l COX iMt itu cnv,?^vu tuufiiii, 1 116 UU0t! WftB ttl'guea J on hat>eas corpus, and a decision given yosterday, ' ordering the dlHO.i(&rge. The Judge said the "return writ rnado in thin cano shows no lawful conviction ot the relator for disorderly conduct. It does not appear that he wm an escaped convict; and, as a punishment lor contempt 01 court, the commitment exceeds that which may be lawfully Inflicted. The relator must be discharged."
