Grant and a Third Term.
Possibly General Grant ought not to
he nominated or elected President again.
But if his opponents want to make
headway, they must find more cogent
arguments than a resort to the anti
third term resolutions passed by Re
publican Conventions in 1875. The
most siucere and ardent supporter of
those expressions might with equal
honesty and sincerity advocate Gene
ral Grant's election now. We repeat,
therefore, that if the opponents of
General Grant want to make progress,
they must find other grounds. There
may be valid objections, but this is not
one. The whole question must rest
with the people. If they want
General Grant, they will securely have
him, and the movement will he irre
sistible. If they don't want him, they
will make it equally manifest. The
people are going to decide this question.

accepted.
Mr. Chandler stated that its accept
ance involved the placing of tbe stone
crusher near tbe Uygine Home, he
moved, that Dr. Heald, tbe proprietor,
tie given permission to address the
council. Permission was given. Mr.
Heald said :
"I wish to say aimply this : For ten
yearn I have paid to the city af Wil
mington taxes to the amount of $150
per year. My business is small
compared with any other in this city;
nevertheless I have—my self and wife,
through onr work and inllnenoe brought
strangers from nearly every State in
this union as patients in onr Health
Institution. Bat throngh the shameful
neglect of the Board of Health and the
disregard of petitions that have been
by me frequently sent t« the City
Council complaining of nnisances my
business has been damaged doing me
very material injury."
"During the first three or four years,
our business was a very flourishing
one. After the Aged Women's Home
was established; after certain improve
ments were made by people of that s lo
tion through which great quantities of
tilth were floated down by us there was
a marked falling off. There is a very
marked competition in the work iu which
I am engaged. The fact that the etreets
and gutters running by the Institution
are constantly tilled with filth nas been
talked about in the newspapers of Read
ing, near which there are three institu
tions; the people are talking about it in
other places where institutions are, to
the detriment of my own.
I have submitted to this injury to
my business nuttl I actually feel that
I cau hear it no longin'. New you pro
pose to pnt another nuisance under my
doors! I ask in justice can yon do this.
As I have said I had paid my taxsB;
and I ask whether it is right for you to
inflict such an injury upon my busi
ness withont further consideration.
"I have au average of ten or twelve
patients, coming from different parts of
this country. I know this nuisance
which yon propose to ereot will render
my place uninhabitable by nervous
invalids of the class of which we have
a number.
"While I am upon the floor I would
like to call your attention to the condi
tion of the gutters which my patients
have to walk over daily; also the pipo
coming from the Aged Women's Home
which discharges a mass of filth right
under our hobos, which, if the members
of this onnnoll were to pass over, they
would q uickly help me to abate; also
the discharge from the Academy of
Visitation which is ausolutely fearful;
also the discharge from smaller pipes
taking place day after day; all these
tend to my great injury, and I ask you
not to put this further nuisance upon
me to the injury of my business, with
out further consideration."
Mr. Blake asked if it would not he
better to hare it laid over for two
weeks ? He made a motion to that ef
a
feot.
Mr. Paynter—I would like to Aak Mr.
H»ald how far is the quarry from his
place.
Mr. Heald—About three squared!
Mr. McMeuamiu said the crasher
w«i)1d be placed in another hollow, and
therefore he didn't think there would be
as much nuisance as tbe gentleman
supposes. He however would not be
in favor of placing the machine there
if it injured his business in anyway,
He moved as an amendment that a
special committee of three be appointed
to examine the plaoe.
Mr. Blake in accepting the amend
ment said he would sooner have the
thing sold than to have it a nuisance
to any of our oitizens.
Mr. Paynter thought that the nuisance
so fully complained of should be looked
into and if Mr. Blake would withdraw
his motion as amended he would make
a motion that when Counoil adjourns it
adjourn to meet on the premises at
4.30 p. m. on Saturday.
Mr. Blake assented and the new mo
tion prevailes.

Mjnipatby for Ireland.
Elsewhere iu th« Republican is pub
liable! a call numerously signed by our
leading citizens for a meeting in the
Telegraph Building, Northeast corner
of Third and Market streets,for the pur
pose of not only expressing sympathy
for the suffering Irish peasantry, but to
make arrangements for a fitting recep
tion of Hon. Charles Stewart Parnell
and John B. Dillon, K a q., when they
visit this city, and then to contribute
what they can for the cause of which
they are the acknowledged champions.
It is hoped the meeting will be largely
atteuded.
Another PfhmIou Granted.
Miranda Farra, widow of Joseph Far
ra, a veteran of the war of 1812, under
Captain Lackey has been secured a pen
sion through the efforts of Esquire Ber
tolette in accordance with a recent act
of Congress granting pensions to widows
of soldiers of the war 1812 who married
after the declaration of peace. Mrs.
Farra lives at 1304 French street and is
74 years of age. She married her sec
ond husband in 1833, an 1 she is the
eighteenth pensioner of the war 1812
in this city.
A Large Crop.
It is estimated that the peaoh crop
of last year aggregated 3,931,233 bask
ets, which were sold for about $1,500,
000. As it costs about ten cents per
basket to pick and haul, the laborer re
ceived some $390,000, leaving to the
growers over $1,000,000. This is a very
important item to the peninsula, and
contributed greatly to its prosperity.—
The yield was but little over a half
crop, and therefore it will be seen that
a full yield sold at the same price per
banket, would foot up $3,000,000.

Lemuel Marr, as everybody kuows,
or if they don't they should, has bought
out the shoe store of Mrs. Etta Fleming,
No. 8 East Fourth street, and to which
he has removed. Mr. Marr has gener
ally been engaged iu the shoe business
in the Eastern part of the city; his store
at the corner of Seventh and Spruce
streets for the last year being a favorite
place of resort, because Mr. Marr always
had a smile and a kind word for ©Very
body, and dealt honestly and squarely

doubt be as popular in his new location
as he was in his old one, and in addi
tion to his old be will be greeted by a
host of new friends and customers.

Augusta, Me., Jan. 15,1880.—To the
people of Main* : Believing that I
ought to do everything to allay the agi
tation in the minds of the people of
this State, I hereby give the assurance
that up to this moment calm councils
have prevailed and that I see no pres
ent occasion for public alarm. I regret
that messages should be sett from any
quarter which bring crowds of men of
both political parties into this city.
This is a great embarrasment in preserv
ing the peace and in reaching a proper
solution of the difficulties before us.
Whatever threats are made I have 10
fear for my personal safety,
people will feel confident that the disj
position made for their protection is sn J
ficient,though not obtruded on the publi 3
sight, aud would ail keep and counst-1
patience, so that political and legal
questions could be calmly considered,
our trouble could soru be in a way for
settlement. My attitude toward the
Honorable Mr. Lamson as a matter ot
duty has been made known in iny re
ply to his inquiry addressed to me
the 12th day of January. At the
time, I regard him as iu a position to
contribute in a high degree to the ef
forts to save us from anarchy and ruin,
and justice requires me to say that he
has by all the means in his power aid
ed in keeping the field clear for a law
fnl and peaceful solution of the mat
ters now at issue.

111* Deception In t'olumbnii on
H edueftday Evening.
A reoeption was given to General
Garfield, (I. S. Senator elect, in the
Capital of Ohio on Wednesday evening.
General Garfield was introduced t>7
Governor Foster, and, after some hand
shaking, made a speech, in which he
referred to the gratification he felt at
his election and this reception. He
then spoke of the memories the Ohio
Capitol recalled to him "It was here,"
he said, "the word was first brought of
the firing on Fort Sumter. I remnniber
that one week later on the motion of a
of a Democratic leader, who occupied a
8«at on the other side, that we surren
dered this chamber to several compan
ies of soldiers, who had come to Colum
bus to tender their services to the im
perilled government. They slept on
this carpet and these sofas, while wait
ing for other quarters outside the capi
tol. Here was the nerve centre of anx
iety aud agony during the early scenes
of the war. Here over 8,000 Ohio citi
zens tendered their services, in the
course of three weeks, to the imperilled
nation. All party lines disappeared as
if by magic; and from both sides of this
chamber men went out to take their
places on the field of ba'tle. We meet
iere to night with the war so far back
in the distance that it is almost a half
forgotten memory. We meet here to
•light with a nation redeemed under
the flag we fought for; with a glorious,
a great and growing republic, made
greater and more glorious by the sacri
fices through which it has passed."
He then paid a warm tribute to Senator •
Thurman, "than whom," he said,
Ohio has had few larger-minded,
broader minded men is the record of
its history," and referred to the kind
words spoken of him by Senator Thur
man in tbe State canvass, saying that
•'the flowers that bloom over the gar
den wall of party politics are the sweet
est and mest fragrant that bloom in the
gardens of this world, and where we
can pluck them and enjoy their fra
grance it is manly and delightful to do
BO."
Speaking ef his long servioe in Con
gress from one district, whose approba
tion he had always greatly desired,
without egotism he still more desired
the approbation of one person, and his
na n* was Garfield. Continuing, after
the laughter had subsided, he said "he
is the only man I am compelled to sleep
with [laughter] and eat with; and if I
oeuhl not have his approbation I should
have bad companionship [langhter],
and in this larger constituency which
has called me to represent them now, I
can only do what is trne to my best
self, applying the same rule, and if I
shoald be so unfortunate as to lose the
confidence of this larger constituency,
I mast da what every other fair minded
man has to do—oarry his political life
in his hands and take the consequen
With a few words more he bade
Republicans and Democrats a cordial
"good-nitrht."
