TnE alarm of the Opposition regarding
Hie Third-Term bugbear suggests the idea
that they fear President Grant's popularity,
and thit he would make a strong candidate,
stronger than any other man in the Repub
lican party, and strong enough to defeat
the Democratic nominee. But they should
lie satisfied now that lie is out of the way,
and rejoice that their most jmpular adver
sary has voluntarily withdrawn from the
contest.
Tiiom. iMmim l- who are frightened
aliout the ' 'circumstances not likely to arise, ' '
which are alluded to in President Grant's
anti-Third Term letter, should remember
that the people will be the judge of the oc
casion which may provoke those circum
stances. To the judgment of the people
the ve hole question w iil be law iully sub
mitted, and the decisiou will be worth- of
them. They have net er failed thus far to
reach correct conclusions, and are yet to be
trusted v.ith the management of their own
aflairs notwithstanding the doubts of the
democratic or Ishmaelitc-Petective press.
"TiirrE i certainly some powerful mo
" tive behind the ring in this dicker with
" the 'Sioux," writes the Washington cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Tii.iei. The
word "ring" is u-ed here with malicious
intent to deceive the public into a belief
that a combination exists in "Washington
organized to defraud the Indians. The
truth is exactly the opposite. The officials
of the Government are earnestly engaged
villi efforts to protect the Indians from
scheming plunderers. Dut thc.truth would
not sen e the purpose of the 7"tieand its
correspondent. Hence the unblushing at
tempt to palm off a falsehood.
In one of General Boynton's forthcom
ing letters to the Cincinnati Gazette, re
garding the "Sherman Memoirs," proof
will be given, it is understood, that the
terms of General Joe Johnston's surren
der CO to General Sherman at Greensboro'
were written by Confederate Postmaster
General Reagan, of Texas. It is also un
derstood that a letter is in existence from
Ifeagan to Jeff. Davis, which embraces the
opinion that the virtual effect of those terms
would be to re-establish slavery. This is
the view Secretary Stanton held of the
clause re-establishing the State govern
ments of the rebellious States. Alas' poor
Sherman.
During the grand pow-wow at the In
terior Department yesterday of the Presi
dent and Secretary Delano with the Sioux
delegation several correspondents and re
porters whose presence was not required
were excluded. The result will show itself
I morrow in the grossest misrepresenta
li ju of w hat transpired at the interview,
and infuriated shrieks that the Republic is
in daugci, because a few sub detectives ol
ILc Detective pns have been deservedly
Ei ubl cd. Taking ever thing into consiil
ci.tiuii. Picrctary Delano did exactly the
runt th:ng. These scribblers would m's
represent the facts whether they were
1 'csect at the interview or not-
' Tml Kew Orleans Picayvnt, referring
to Dtcoiation Djy in that city, remirkcd :
"The Ki public jnc are making great prep
arations for their memorial day." Here is
an adn is:-:on thit the memory of the Union
dead is che-Uhed only by the Republic in
part. However true this may be, the
J'icoj,vne is guilty cf the very crime
vhich it charges against its political oppo
nent when it gives currency to such senti
ments The course it pursues could not be
Jjcttcr calculated to keep alive the bitter
ness of the war, or to divide the people
into rcl,el and anti rebel political parties.
Evidently it believes the Democratic me
morial day should de devjted to the dec
oration of Confederate graves.
The proceedings of the Ohio Republican
State Convention yesterday are printed
elsewhere. The ticket nominated is a good
one, although it is possible that the nominee
for Lieutenant Governor will encounter
some opposition, based upon his somewhat
variegated record. The platform adopted
embraces everything that could be asked
by straightforward Republicans and honest
citizens. The allusion to President Grant
and the "unwritten law" of the Republic
was expected. The convention honored
itself and the State by its complimentary
allusion to his career as a soldier and states
man.. This additional demonstration of the
regard of his party for him as a public
leader will serve to disprove the charges of
the Opposition that his Administration has
fallen into disfavor with the people.
If General Sherman had contented,
himself, when writing his unfortunate
"Memoirs," with a detailed description of
his "march to the sea," he would have
been much better off. As it is, he claims
to have originated the idea of cutting the
Confederacy in two by that march, and the
consequence is an avalanche of facts to
prove that the idea originated with General
Grant. It will be remembered that Horace
Greeley, among others, originated the idea
of "on to Richmond," but some one else
executed it, and has received all the credit
for the movement This would have been
General Sherman's fate if his vanity had
not overcome his discretion. A letter, a
copy of which is undoubtedly in Sher
man's possession, was written by Gen
eral Grant to General Halleck while
the latter was acting as General-in-chief,
in which General Grant gave in detail his
plans for the coming spring campaign. He
was then at Nashville or Chattanooga, 'and
proposed to march upon Atlanta, and from
Ihcnce through the South to Mobile, where,
with the aid of the navy, he expected to be
able to establish a new base of supplies no
the Gulf coast. The plan involved the
holding or destruction, as the case might
lie, of the main lines of railroad running
north and south through the Confederacy.
In the meantime, however, before the
spring campaign was begun, General Grant
was promoted to be Lieutenant General,
and came East to assume command of all
the armies. Among his first acts as Lieu
tenant General was to send a copy of this
letter to General Halleck, describing the
plans referred to, to General" Sherman,
Kith an indorsement in substance that the
Information contained therein would be
sufficient without further orders. This in
dorsement virtually amounted to an order
that the projected Atlanta campaign should
be supplemented by "cutting the Confede
racy in two" again by a direct march to
tLe i ea. Subsequent events, including the
necessity of withdrawing sixty-five thou
sand 1 1 oops, used in guarding the Hne3 of
the lailroad north of Atlanta, induced a
change of programme, and Savannah was
substituted for Mobile as the point of des
tination, the navy being permitted to cap
ture the latter city without essential aid
from the army. And this was the origin
of the idea of the march to the sea.
WHAT IS CiESABIBM !
tvithin the past few years the cry of
Cxsarism has been raised in this country,
when, in a Republic, this clamor is as be
reft of sense as the brain that could have
conceived such an idea. In this country
the people rule, and there is no measure of
personal ambition or cunning or ingenuity
that can devise or contrive an agency of
sufficient power to circumvent the popular
will. The ancients conceded that "the
voice of the people is the voice of God,"
and it is not possible for the designs of men
to overturn the plans and purposes of Om
nipotence. Hence, if the people, the Re--publican
masses of the United States, shall,
in their cool and determinate judgment,
decide that Gen. Grant is the most accept
able and available candidate for the next
Presidency, no measure of prejudice, hate
or bigoted hostility can raise a "Third
Term" clamor that will intimidate or deter
the popular will from pursuing its own
promptings to the end of the canvass. In
such an event we have no fear that the
public weal is to be in any degree jeopar
dized. If Gen. Grant was prompted by an ambi
tion as limitless as that of Cti-sar of old, he
has no power to perpetuate his own rule,
and the greater the demonstration or that
thirst the less would his chances grow. In
this country the people rule under a Consti
tution which limits the terms of a President
only by a disqualifying age, It the found
ers of our Constitution had discovered or
apprehended the danger which this "Third
Term" hue and cry contemplates, thcy
would clearly have defined a limit which
would hhve bounded the national good
w ith safety. This they did not do, for the
reason that they trusted the intelligence,
patriotism and honesty of the people. They
foresaw that a wicked ruler could not, by
any ambitious agencies ot position and
power, deceive and mislead the popular
judgment, and thus perpetuate his own
rule. For this very reason, when the ques
tion of limiting the tenure or the presiden
tial office to a single term of seven years
was raised, it was determined, under the
w isdom of the statesmen of that day, that
the term should be limited to four years,
but that no barrier should be placed be
tween a wise and just President and any
number of terms that the people might de
sire for him within that period when age
becomes a defined disqualification for the
trust.
What we say now on this question is
only in consideration of it abstractly. It
is not whether General Grant shall become
a candidate for another term. That ques
tion is with the people, and in the womb
of the future, to be solaced in accordance
with the promptings of the popular judg
ment when the proper time shall arrive for
its determination. It may be that the peo
ple will speak on this question with a dis
tinctness and power not to be disregarded.
Then may arise the "circumstances" so
wisely alluded to by the President in his
letter on the "Third Term" proposition,
when an imperative sense of duty will
point to an acceptance of the Presidency
for the third time. If the people do not
want General Grant for another term they
will not have him, no matter what his per
sonal aspirations may be. But if it shall
appear to be the popular judgment that his
re-nomination and re-election will best sub
serve the public good, then he can decide
the question of acceptance. Until then he
has only to await the action of public sen
timent and the expression of the popular
will. This he will do with marked com
placency, believing in the justice of the
people and in the wisdom of that overrul
ing Power which shapes tihI presides over
the destinies of nations, and has borne this
Republic through all its trials in safety.
There is no sound and legitimate argu
ment that can be urged against the re-election
of a w isc and just President for tliree
or more terms. Experience, allied to a
wise sense of juftice in administering pub
lic affairs, adds greatly to the usefulness of
the President of a Government which com
prises more than forty millions of people.
This experience, held in such relation, is
of inestimable value to the national wel
fare, and presents a strong reason for con
tinuing in place one who has shown him
self to be honest and capable beyond a
question; while, on the other hand, when
a President has proved himself wanting in
capacity and honesty, the people know it,
and will soon determine his fate, and limit
his power to the term in which he has be
trayed his real character, and where public
respect and confidence cease to exist.
We trust that this Third Term bugaboo
has spent itself and will no longer haunt
the Republican party. Its duty is plain,
and no false issue should be allowed to in
terpose to defeat or divert its action in pro
viding this Government with a Republican
President for the next four years at least
This is the pivotal point upon which the
future peace and prosperity of the nation
hangs, and must not be lost sight of by the
friends of good government and human
rights.
HABPZB'S FEREY.
Just now the attention of thoughtful peo
ple is being very earnestly directed to the
interests, State and nationa', involved in
the historic site of Harper's Ferry. For
sixty years a Government armory was lo
cated there, but during the war it was de
stroyed, together with all its works and
machinery. After the destruction the Gov
ernment sold all its real estate on which
the armory had been located, including the
water power on the Potomac and Shenan
doah rivers. This sale was unfortunately,
or perhaps fortunately, made to a company
of speculators, who were of the opinion that
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
were not possessed of the right of way, and
that for this right of way they could easily
charge the company a sufficient sum to
raise their purchase money. By the terms
of the sale they were not required to pay a
dollar in cash, and they never have. To
the infinite surprise of the purchasers, the
Baltimore and Ohio Company presented a
title to the property in the shape of a for
mal document, officially giving the company
the right of way, from Mr. Poinsett Secre
tary of "War during Mr. Van Buren's ad
ministration, and aLo a deed from Mr.
Bum to the property." At this point the
purchasers gave up even the pretense of
ever paying for the land they had bought
Judgments in law and a decree in chancery
were obtained for the purchase money, and
a re-sale of the property was ordered, but
the speculators somehow succeeded in in
ducing the Government to join them in
a suit against the Baltimore and Ohio
Company, to determine the question
of the right of way and the title, and
this cause is now pending, in the Uni
ted States district court at Wheeling. It
is probable that a decision will be given
about the Cth ot September next, and every
well-judging person informed of the facts
is of the opinion that the decision will lie
fully and squarely in favor of the railroad
company. Anticipating this, it is under
stood that tho purchasers are cow willing
that the Government shall reinstate itself
in its title, and we have the highest
authority for stating that early in the next
session of Congress Mr. Charles J. Faulk
ner, member of Congress from that Dis
trict, will introduce a bill to settle the dis
pute in favor of the Government and at
the same time accompany the bill with a
proposition that the Government shall re
build the armory at that point first, as a
national necessity, and second, as a fair
concession to the South. Harper's Ferry,
only two hours and a half ride from Wash
ington, one of the most picturesque places
on the continent, and if the great armorial
workshops of the Government should be
rebuilt there it would become still more at
tractive to visitors, and greatly enhance the
business and prosperity of adjacent com
munities. This proposition seems practical
and most reasonable. The reinstatement
of the Government in its title is a matter
in which all are interested, and, as it would
be manifestly sound in law and in public
policy, the proposition will undoubtedly
command the serious attention of Congress.
At any rate, the interests of the Government
at this point are of a character much more
vital than those of speculators. Harper's
Ferry is situated in West Virginia, but the
time has come when its pretensions to be
classed as a city in a Southern State should
be laid aside. It is entitled to the rank of
a border State "only, and besides, its soil,
climate, productions and industries all par
take of the character of a Northern State,
and in its fifty-six counties 'there are not
more tlian six which have colored voters
to any extent. It is probable that West
Virginia has no pride in being classed as a
Southern State. It certainly cannot feel
on this subject as South Carolina or Georgia,
and in political-territorial divisions it seems
to us it would be better to rank it as a
Northern State. However, this point has
little or nothing to do with the question of
the rights and advantages of the Govern
ment hi the Harper's Ferry property.
Wilson and Colfax or Colfax and Wilson.
To tile Editor of the Xalional RrvnSlican:
but : I admire your manly article this morn
hur propotlus Henry Wilton for President and
Scliujler Colfax for Vice President on a purely
tcmi'crauce ticket. I think it should be Col-fa-'
for the firtt and Wilson for the second
place he belli;; the older soldier and I have
iiodoulit tftl.e matter rould reach thecouu
try in its true as-pect It would seep the can
vass. 1. Mr. Colfax, like the illustrious cv-Presi-dcut
Andy Johnson and Theodore Tiltonjaced"!
"rehabilitation." Such a nomination would
gic the country the chance of rehabilitating
him.
2. Mr. Colfax has traveled over more ground,
at less expense, than any man In the world,
except, perhaps, Sam Bowles, of the Spring
field Htpubliean, who once w ent across the
plains and back again for one dollar and
eleven cents the dollar for washing and the
elet en cents for com piasters. Consequently
Mr. Colfax would secure the votes of the
friends of cheap and rapid transportation.
Mr. Wilson has not traveled quite as much as
S. C, but he is gaining on him.
!J. Mr. Colfax, like the lamented George
Washington, believed it better to tell eleven
thousand lies than destroy one cherry tree.
This he showed In his examination before
OakesAmes. And it will command for him
the support of all friends of economy.
4. Mr. Colfax would be satisfied with two
terms. One term in the Vice Presidency satis
fied him.
5. Mr. Colfax Is a Christian statesman. lie
never swore In his life, except on the Holy
Scriptures. He never drank spirits, fie has
a straight record upon every issue. There is
no record one half as straight since the retire
ment of the statesman who was the first Vice
President under Jefferson, and who, like Col
fax, retired from public life at the end ol
one term.
C. Already there are Colfax clubs In Sing
Sing, New York, and in Auburn. Their motto
is "temperance, industry and rehabilitation."
They know how it is themselves. Each mem
ber of these clubs takes an obligation not to
drink, or use tobacco, or even read the news
papers. They are lor Colfax to a man, and
will vote for him If their terms of service are
expired.
7. The election of Colfax w otild be an end
of C'a?sarism. It might be the advent of Dick
Turplnlsm. But in a free country much but
ler a lliek Turpin than a Cesar.
Yours, for Colfax and Temperance,

When a n.an oi letters Hants money, rai
ment, roof, and something to cat and to drink,
and feels that he lacks all these and even the
hope of thetn, because of his own egregious
folly, lie finds but little consolation in the
prospect of a handsome monument, and of
many inr.rtuary notices ten lines each of
" aerate elose" in the newspapers. Your true
Ia-livlng writer would prefer cash payment.
His unwise ways, which leave him something
of his taste, his talent, his dexterity, his mis
cellaneous abilities, reduce almost to nothing
his love of approbation, his sel!-respcct, and
his desire for posthumous remembrance. lie
likes his cellar, his chat OTer the beers, his
pipe, and a reasonable certainty of bed and
breakfast. Hcspcctability, which Is the lead
ing idea of a monument, irritates one who is
in had repute w Ith sober people, as they usu
ally are with him. Steady study he Is incapa
ble of; and to he Is of persistent work;
but l.c can at a pinch, and under the spur
of an empty stomach and pocket, crowd
a great deal of sttid and general toil into
a few hours. One who has sometimes a
plenty of money, and during long iutei vals
none at all, grows improvident oat of the
very uncertainty of his Income, until at last,
though opportunity should present, he can no
longer take kindly to fixed financial ways.
Sensitive possibly to the last degree, he uses
no precaution against words and deeds which
are sure to wound him sharply. He accepts
the character of a man who cannot get along.
Fools gird, proper people chide, old friends
look askance, doors are shut in his face, loans
arc refused, the beer shop closes bis account,
and nothing may be left him but the hospit
able streets, up and down which ho walks,
may be, at midnight, and is not very unhappy,
thinking of poets and philosophers, recalling
scraps of verse and anecdote, dreaming of
youth and lost love, and the dead; or of the
shore, the meadow, the grove and the hill
which his childhood knew. To cleanly livers
he is a mvstery to all manner of church
members and merchants and men of family.
Those who read his few things in newspaper
or magazine would be astonished at his figure.
He isn't in the least nice, and he cannot be.
Yet if the world were just it would give him
at least $2.50 a week as a moral example.
There arc sermons In his shabbincss and shlft
lessness, and warnings in his wants, and In the
woeful end which surely awaits him. Lads
with a love of literature who fancy that it
would be a line thing to be a Bohemian like
Savage and Chattcrton and Dermody had better
think tw enty times before they rush Into any
such folly. For, In the first place, if there
were no material points to be considered,
beginners should take heed of the waste of
ability which the so-called Bohemian life
brings with it. They will not find it pleasant
at the end of a loose and unbridled career to
reflect that tbey might have done much and
have done so little a few verses; a tale or so,
a farce, a few jokes in the comic newspapers,
and a miscellany of pen and Ink stuff forzotten
in the reading. Of course, their light perform
ances have creditable elements brilliancy,
perhaps, humor, good leellng a, susoiclon of
high and honorable aspiration. It is generous,
doubtless, for a writer to put his best Into his
public writing, and to reserve his worst for his
own daily life and conversation ; but such lib
erality tomes to no good at last. Bad habits
take away the power of good work. Without
their constant companionship a man forgets
what is in the books. Exigency will make him
tolerant of his own hasty faults, and unmind
ful of the duty or doing bis best for the mere
sake of doing it. Sensual pleasures will render
the finest hind coarse lntlme. "He who drinks
beer," said Dr. Johnson, "thinks beer ;" and
the stronger the beer the smaller the thought,
may be added. Moreover, a want of method
wilt make results fragmentary and quality un
equal, while the waste of precious time and
tho unimproved "once" of opportunity will
crown the disaster of an ill-spent life. Then
will come men's pity, harder to bear than their
reproaches; the sting of conscience; the sense
of failure ; want, mortification, the extreme of
discomfort, and at last death and the grave,
with the undertaker's bill paid by the chari
table and a monument raised by subscription !
Young gentlemen still in Liber P,-imut, this is
the brilliant Bohftnlanlsm of which you some
times pleasantly dream. Our advice to you la
to have nothing to do with It- Love literature
as much as you please, but cultivate a habit of
paying your debts, of saving your money, of
improving your tl ne, of keeping saber, an! of
wearing clean shirts I There isn't a writer
living by his wits in this great city wjio will
not, in bis serious moments, tell you that this
16 good couneI. He may repeat it to you over
the mug of beer which you are to pay for,
warning you to do as he preaches and not as
he practices. Then he will drinkthc beer and
w ait for you to offer him a cigar.
