Grants Second Term.

PRESIDENT GRANT is the seventh Presi-
dent who has been honored with re-elec-
ton His predecessors were Washington,
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe Jackson and
Lincoln-all honored names III the poilt[
cal annals of our country. 1t Is, more
over, fact that the second term OF all
these gentlemen (save that of Lincoln who
was deprived of its enjoyment by the
hands Of an assassin) was more successful
than the first, which constitutes strong
proof in behalf Of the proprlety OF the
principle of second term, and OF the cor
rectness of the popular voice.
One of the most effective campaIg On docu-
ments-which was translated into German,
French, and the Bohemian and Scandlna-
Wan languageS-WaS Grant as a States
man. judged by his official record. Ii
contained extracts from his inaugural adj
dress and his annual message upon some
different topics, and the opinions advanced
therein were SO judicious, and so thorough
ly in accord with popular convictions,
that no opposition speaker or Journalist
ever dared to assail them.
This in itself was a very high compll-
ment to one who, by his own admission
was novice in craftsmanship; but, during
the Just expired session of Congress, he
has displayed so much wisdom and judg-
ment that Congress actually became
ashamed over its neglect OF legislative
duties.
His annual message, full of good sug-
gestions, was followed by several special
messages on Utah and Louisiana affairs,
on the fishery question: and on Southern
claims for destruction of property during
the war He also stands by civil-service
- 70 tlf
best men for office, notwithstanding the
opposition of many leading politicians.
He issued his proclamation that no Fed
eral officeholder should hereafter be per-
mitted to hold a State office at the same
time, excepting only few positions like
school trustees, which are more in the ma
ture of duties than offices Of honor and
profit
In all these recommendations he has
proved the only firm, judicious, and in
trepid political leader of the party, and
Congress only in its last hours woke up
to the criminality of a further neglect of
the duties urged upon it by the President.
We are fully persuaded that the second
term of President Grant will become Illus
trious in political history, and that his
messages, as the Chief Executive, will
equal, if not eclipse his renown as a mill
tary chieftain; and this is the result not
so much of brilliancy of genius, as that
of painstaking and laborious care.
In view of the many evils which would
have necessarily resulted by placing the
Government under the guidance Of Hor-
ace Greeley, or a B. Gratz Brown, we CON
graduate the people most heartily on the
prospect of wise, safe and economic
Administration until March 4, 1877

A New Preserve.

SISTER BoDKIN had a new kind of pre-
serve that we all liked very much. While
she was washing dishes | wiped them, so
| could have the chance of asking her how
she made them. She said, take fair sweet
apples, with firm flesh, pare them nicely,
cut them across the core in slices the
fourth of an inch thick, remove the seeds,
but not the core, as itimproves the appear
ance of the preserve. Boil very gently IN
little water till tender, and then lift them
carefully on plates. Take half the lumber
of lemons that you had of apples, cut them
across the core in slices the same
same thickness of the apples, remove the
Seeds and spread the slices on earthern
platters. Take pulverized loafsugar-the
weight equalling that of the fruit weighed
before boiling-sprinkle half of it over
| the lemon slices, let il stand few hours
till liquid enough has formed to cook them
in, then drain it off, and put it over the
fire in a porcelain-lncd kettle with the
rest of the sugar. When it boils, drop in
both lemon and apple slices, and boil gen
tly till the fruit is clear For those who
dislike the flavor Of lemon-peel, the apples
can be made as above, substituting lemon
juice for lemon slices; or, the apples can
be left whole, if the cores are carefully cut
