rliE ONEFERM PRINCIPLE.

Just now there IL much discussion as to
whether the President should be reelected
to one term or not. The principal argu-
ment in favor of the one term is, that if
eligible to a second, the President uses all
the powers in his possession for his reGlec-
ton. The Presidents who have served
eircountry for two terms, ARE Washington,
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson and
Lincoln-the first four, Virginians. We think
among Presidents, those who have served
their country best, are those who have
been chosen by the people to serve them
longest And if we turn the pages Of
history we find that if by reason of ineli-
gibility another ruler had been chosen in
stead of the same one reelected, in every
case the nation would have been in danger.
Westinghouse reelection gave stability to
the Republic in the eyes of Europe, and
his frinness, even against the popular voice
in the case of Genet, the French Minister,
saved us from such neutrality as we now
| complain Of in England. Jefferson i'll his
second term brought us safely out Of the
dangers of the South Western Empire
and troubles with France and England
| Madison's administration may be looked
upon as continuation Of Jefferson's, as
Madison was his Secretary of State, ant
conducted affairs on Jeffersonian principles
He indicated the honor Of the nation
against British aggression, but at the sam
time the Federalists, q powerful party II
the Northeast, were clamorous for peace
| Mr.. Monroe was reelected by vote almos
as unanimous as that first given him. ]
was while the Missouri Compromise wa
agitating the country, and forced chang
in the administration would have been crit
ical. During his second term tbs countr
was in a state Of uuexampled prosperity
Jackson's firm antagonism to the principle
of Calhoun, and his successful leadershi
in those eight years of party strife, Shove
him to be the man for the times. In regar
to Lincoln's reelection, we may apply h
own maxim, sit is not safe to swap hors'
, while crossing stream" The people al
wiser than party leaders, and shou
always be left at liberty, if the occasic
should demand, to call their good and fat
y full servant to administer the laws for a S
= cond term. As to corruption, the list I
> viewed is sufficient to refute the charge.

Two cases Of shooting occurred yester-
day. One was intentional, that Of Mr..
Adams at the Tredegar Works, the other
accidental, by the dropping Of pistol out
of the pocket of fireman, which, falling
ON the pavement, severely wounded by
stander. We have before called attention
to this subject, and we again appeal to
every good citizen, and especially to the
Press, to unite with US in crying out
against practice which endangers the lives
not merely of men, but of women and chill
dren. No man or woman can 60 about the
streets, or sit in public vehicle, or at a
theatre, or church, without being liable
to be shot.

UTILIZATION OF POWER.

There is q mandatory at Lockport.
New York, driven by water-power from
the waste water of the Erie canal, which
also supplies considerable amount Of
power to other establishments, some of
which are over half mile from the water
wheels. This is done by means of endless
wire cables, carried on telegraph poles, to
neighboring factories and mills. 4 very
simple arrangement of cogs enables any
number of wire cables to run to central
points in The city, and thence in all direc-
tons. In this way the printing presses OF
three different papers are run at small
yearly cost. lt also furnishes power to a
whip factory, a cabinet shop, glass fac
tory, $500 feet away, a shirt factory, 1900
feet in the opposite direction, a foundry
and machine shop. There are many mills
and factories in the country so situated that
their excess of water-power might be
utilized in similar profitable and advan
tageous manner.
Richmond furnishes a good example
for such an opportunity. Will not somt
of our accomplished engineers take NJ
this matter and see what can be done.
