Weak D,niais OF the third Term
Charge

Consldei ing the alaeriiy Tith which
the Republican journals spring TO the
defence Of President Grant from charges
Of a comparatively unimportant character,
We wonder they do not display more zeal
In defending him from the charge of de-
string a hind election to the Presidency.
This is really the most serious charge
ever brought against him, and II he we're
guilty of desiring third term, he
would be in an. ugly dilemma. il he
were to claim that he wished, in Viola
ton of all precedent, a continuance In
Office from a seuse Of duty to the Repuh-
lie, he would display the prepostcfous
vanity Of surprising that, in all the vast
party which elected hiu. no other man is TO
oe found capable Of dlschargiDg the duties
which have apparently but lightly rested
on bis shoulders. If he admitted that his
desire sprang from selfish motives, he
would confess thereby an Unsuitable greed
for place and power, which would be sur
ilclent reason tor not eleetiug him agaiu.
We cannot believe that the President
really looks for another election, but,
since the subject has been mooied, and
seriously discussed, and journals sup
porting the administration have lelt called
On to notice IL, we can but wish their
utterances were, nj least, as emphatic
aud dehuitc as they are when he is ac-
cused Of receiving poodle MS d present.,
or appointing his wifc's third cousin
postmaster. That they seem to be afraid
to do SO Is sign Of base subserylency,
more alarming to the real friends of re-
publicanism than a good many yards of
editorial about Imperialism" there is
very little danger of amy man having the
ludacious impudence to call himself
Emperor Of this people, hut the departure
from the traditions Of the Republic and
well established usage IN attempting to
indefinitely extend the term Of single
man as President, and the singular com
pound of clannishness, cowardice and
greed which makes men opposed To such
an attempt afraid to speak ont in manly
protest, does point to the possibility u IL
state Of affairs which might e'yc us the

The Independence of the 4. w. a
Is. Railroad.
We believe the Philadelphia cores
pendent of the Germantown Telegraph |
correctly states the position and desire
OF the Philadelphia, Wilmington Il Balti- |
more Railroad Company, when be de-
clares that it simply wishes to preserve |
It's Independence, nor do we doubt that |
II would be the best thing for 1t and for |
the public II II could do 20. It pcsesses |
the best and shortest line that can by any |
possibility be built between Baltimore and |
Philadelphia, and it is able to accommo-
date all the trains necessary TO Its own !
ira ilic, and also those which the tive
competing lines between Baltimore and
Washington wish to send northward.
Both OF these are now running, IN fact,
their through trains over it. But
here comes the difficulty. The
Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and
Ohio are rival companies, and each Of
them is DESTROYS of depriving It's compet-
tor of the advantages Of this more direct
line, and In an even contest, the Penusyl-
vanla Company has the advantage
through Its control of the sale of tickets
at the New York end of the through line.
Each would, therefore, prefer to control
the Wilmington line, and each has the
power to threaten il with very consid-
cradle loss Of trade.
The Baltimore q Ohio Company evil
dent.y looks with interest and approval
on Jay Gould's hay.jumping route across
the Delaware Peninsula and New Jersey,
from Baltimore to New York. A promi-
nent official of the b. " o. Company,
recently told the editor Of STATE JouR-
NAL that he considered 1t a practicable
freight route. We know too little Of
failroading, we suppose, to sec the
grounds for this belief, for to us The
scheme appears very midsummer mad
ness, but If il is practicable, it would en-
able the B. & o. Company to withdraw
very considerable amount Of the
through freight il now sends over the
Wilmington road. The Pennsylvania
Company on the other hand, has ii in It's
power to threaten the Wilmington road
with the entire loss of all the through
travel between the North and South
which il can control-and that is pioba
bly, the greater part Of it, since il abso-
lutely controls the road between New
York and Philadelphia, and tho new
road between Baltimore and Washington
with its extensive southern connections.
Its recent atten,t to carly passengers
over It's own rails between Phla-
delphia aud Baltimore was destined
to failure, even if the company had
not been forced 10 abandon it, because
Of the great distance, but every one
who has studied this problem at all,
knows that the Pennsylvania Company
can very readily make a much shorter
route, which would he practicable as "a
part of the through route between New

The Board Of Health OF Philadelphia.
recently declared certain open lot in
that city nuisance, because 1t had be-
come receptacle for all sorts of filth
which people were prohibited IRON throw
ing into the streets. The Board ordered
it to be cleaned and fenced, aud in case
its owners failed To obey this mandate, it
directed Its health officer to do the work
at the expense of the owners Of the
Board. The principal owner obtained an
injunction to prevent the health officer
trcm proceeding to do such fencing, and
the case was argued before Judge Briggs,
GU the usual motion to make the tsmpor-
AIRY injunction permanent. The Judge
after maturely considering the matter,
dissolved the injunction, and in doing so,
defined with considerable fullness the
powers of the Board Of Health.
He declares In substance that the Board
has the legal right to remove a nuisance
or the cause of nuisance, and has a
remedy by lien for the recovery of the
expense of such removal. That the
Board is the sole judge as to what constl-
tutes a nuisance and its cause, and that
the courts have no power 70 interfere
with IL except to see that 1t proceeds
regularly in reacbiag a conclusion. In
thus deelarin . the law, the Judge says I;
