The One rerla principle.

Senator Summers bill TO restrict
the ocolqa4ey the Presidential
char Is 5de te}m, ,las received some
very plain criticisms from the Mas
sachusetts press, as well as from
the Republican press in general
throughout the land. 1t is appar-
ent toiahithat the Massachusetts,
Senator il presenting such a bill, at
this particular jmlcture, was miiu-
cnced by a motive Of hatred to
President Grant, ami this bill was
intended to crafty that feeling.
The logic, however, upon which
the Senator based his plea for the
passage of the bill, may lave
taken q wider application than he
intended Z 1t requires but. little as.
tuteness to see tlat the same argu-
ments which may be accepted suiii-
cient to Justify the restriction to one
term in the case of the Presidency,
will apply with equal force to the
office ofsehator and Representative,
or, in fact, to any public office If
it is unsafe for a President to re-
main in office longer than one term,
so it is for q Senator, ora Congress
man. So far SIS the evils are con-
cerued which grow out OF the.exer-
else fle appointing power, or the
civil service, the President is far
less to blame tllan tie Senator's and
Representatives, through whose
recommendation most Of the Offices
are filed. Tit is a fact, as implied
by this restrictive measure, that a
'continueflce in office has a tendency
TO make men corrupt aad reckless,
and therefore unsafe eastodians Of
our Republican institutions, Sumner
must be a very dangerous Senator,
measured by this rule, having serv-
ed in the capacity Of Senator for the
last twenty-five years. To have
acted in She past accordance with
his present views, he should hayc
refused q second term. TO be con
consistent now, lie should resign at
once. lie would not consent to do
that, of course, his present object
simply being to prevent Gen. Grant
from becoming the next President.

The japanese ladies, having investi-
gated the female attendants at the
Grand Hotel and compared them, IN
their working clothes, with the ladies
whom they see upon the streets have
concluded that the richer and the poor
er classes of American women are di-
vided by physical development, and
that the wealthy class are distinguish
ed from their less fortunate sisters by
q hump upon the back, something at-
ter the fashion Of the dromedary. Their
superstitions lead them to believe that
magic arts are used to produce the
growth ofthis deformityup0n the per-
sons of those whose wealth Is acquired
IN their later years. The simplicity
of these daughters Qf the Orient is

A CORA IN LOVE WITH Al WOMAN.
"A very extraordinary and astonisll-
ing incident was lately reported to
have occurred a few miles from Bey-
pore, the particulars Of which are as
follows:
"a native female, Of very attractive
appearance, Of the carpenter caste,
while sweeping the yard Of her house,
heard Kissing noise behind her. As
she turned to see what 1t was, she
found to her terror large cobra adj
vancing towards her. Before she had
time to call anyone to her assistance,
or even to 90 from the place, the SER
.pent dartcd at her like lightning, and
coiled round one Of her legs, andin the
twinkle Of an eve darted higher and
higher till it brought Its open hood in
contact with her face, here moving It
to and fro like a screen. In this pitt
able and fiightful position she had to
remain for nearly two days without
being able to lie or sleep. None but
females could approach her to feed her
with milk and plantains, when the
cobra turned Its head one side and gave
her ample time to nourisl herself; but
on any man stepping into the conf
pound, the cobra would hiss feartully
and tighten its hold round her body in
such a manner as to make her feel
hreathless. Many we're the coniurers
who came to relieve her from this
frightful condition, but none succeeded
in removing the hugo serpent from her
person till latterly, Wien a Nair was
brought from the interior, who, after
performing certain charms and spells,
succeeded IN disentangling the poor
woman Of her venomolls lover. The
snake quietly crept back into the bush
whence 1t came, aud the woman Is
now doing well. The above wonder
FIJI occurrence Is now a general talk
among the natives Of the place.
