purely Democratic method of re-

LAST week we paid flying visit
to Pittsburgh. Its still making a
rapid growth, and real estate is ad-
vancing as rapidly as at any previ-
GUS period of its history. Its net
work of railroads reaching out toev-
cry point of the compass, affords op-
portunities for speculation which
are readily improved. Farms are
bought, villages laid out and lots
sold, until for twenty miles around
it, the cnuntry is dotted with ham
lets, large and small. In every direc-
tion the city is pushing, and even
Mt. Washington, an almost mac
cessible hight on the west side of
the Monongahala, is becoming pop
ulous, and property up there brings
fabulous prices. One thing has had
a material affect in producing this
result the inclined plane railroad,
the cars of which go tearing up and
down the almost perpendicular grade
at a rate that lands one at the top of
the hill or at the bottom in about a
minute, and SO brings the residents
of the nights as near the heart ofI
the city as those living but a few
squares of. We tried mounting the
nights by the cars, and confess to a
sensation similar to what one would
experience going up' in a balloon.
1t might have been produced per
haps, from a suspicion of weakness
in the wire rope by which the cars
are drawn up and let down, but a few
trips would dispel the illusion and |
reduce the trips to matter of fact
business. The first inclined plane
road was built several years ago.
Another, somewhat nearer, what was
known as Cunningham now South |
Pittsburg has been built more re-
Gently, and is more inclined. Every |
improvement, which will @build up |
the waste places" is taken hold of !
at once and carried forward with an
energy peculiarly Pittsburgian.
A WASHINGTON CoRREsPoNDENT of
the Cincinnati Gazette has an ar
ticle in relation to third term
for General Grant. The Republican
also has the following to say in re-
lation to a third term; r
"So far as the President is con
cerned, it can be said with entire
truth, that no one has ever heard
from his lips the slightest whisper
on the subject, and we do not be-
lieve that a single one of his friends,
advisers or supporters ever bestowed
thought upon the matter until it
became a subject of speculation and
comment in theSjournals referred to.
While the ADMINISTRATION occupies
this attitude of entire indifference
on the subject, it cannot be denied
that the present slanderous warfare
that is being waged upon the Presi-
dent has created strong feeling in
favor of his denomination among
large body Of his supporters, feel
ing that is as likely to sweep the
country as not, and give him a third
term in the Executive mansion by a
majority more overwhelming than he
received in '68 or '72."
The discussion of the subject ofa
third term for anybody, is one that
should be SYoided. No such idea
should be entertained, If third
term may be had, why not fourth,
and if fourth, why not a fifth, and
so on until it becomes a life estate
in the party who can secure combi-
nations sufficient to procure success.
Two terms should be the utmost ever
accorded to one man, and the seal of
condemnation should be set by the
people upon any and all efforts to
secure a longer continuance in office
by one individual. General Grant
has made a noble executive, and his
administration has been success
full one, but we do not believe lie is
the only one who can run the coun-
try successfully, or to the satisfac-
tiOn of the people, nor do we believe
he would desire a longer continuance
in Office. The verdict of the people
last fall, in the face of the ISLANDERS
against him, were a vindication
which will not need to be repeated in
order to satisfy him that he enjoys
their confidence. 4
