Correspondent Of the Richmond Enquirer
This is the first declaration have seer
in any authoritative quarter of wish OF
purpose to run General Grant for u.ird
term. 1t was among the ill-tempered prophe.
cies of his enemies on the hustings last
fall, that il elected, he would become a
candidate for q third term, emperor OF

by his friends as an ebullition of temper,
and was never dgnified by reply. II

How shall General Grant and his friends
receive this deliberate suggestion Of Colo
mel Mosby to run Tor third term?
Our constitution consists not only of its
written provisions, but also Of its prcce-
DENIS which have attended its operation,
and controlled its construction throughout
the whole period OF its existence. Among
these latter Is the practice OF Washington
and all his illustrious successors to retire at
the end OF the second term. 1t has virtually
become apart ofthe constitution by prescrip-
non. NO one has yet had the temerity to
disregard It. The people now claim it as
among their constitutional privileges to have
a new president at the end of two consecu-
tive terms.
Let us see now what it Is that proposes
to break through this precedent and avail
OF the Just popularity Of General Grant to
assist him in this contempt Of our consti-
ttaionat practices. III this purpose springs
from the extreme of sycophancy, and de-
notes merely extraordinary gratitude for
personal favors. it falls beneath public
criticism and takes rank among the follies
OF too ofliclous friendship, and superser-
viceable zeal but even in this light Of
private motives, it concerns the public to
know how this disgraceful overture is re-
ceived by this distinguished person, who Is

such proposal without the assent of his
patron in point of taste, it was fulsome
and revolving, and in point of substance, it
was insulting, because it assumed the
willingness OF his candidate to disregard
the most sacred traditions Of the govern
ment. with which the people with such re-
marketable nnannnity had entrusted him.
That the occasion is too insignificant to call
for the notice or reply Of the President
enhances the offence Of such a light and
impairment use OF his name.

THE rRAHK1Na PRIVILEGE.

The Thanking privilege, it seems has
been abolished, after being abused, ex-
posed and ridiculed for half a century.
This bit Of reform is rather surprise;
it was unexpected, but will not excite
particular gratitude or Joy on the part OF
the people. A few thousands will be
saved in the current expenses of the Post
Office Department, and, perhaps, added
to the pay Of Congressman, which will
enable them to send their speeches and
documents over the country as before, es-
pecially since postage has been reduced.
The documents received with Nj. c..

thrilling or absorbing, but often con-
tanned valuable statistical matter, and 1t
must be admitted, diffused abroad vast

and never free. This viii be heralded
as economy and measure Of reform,
when it is really a party movement

sending out their speeches, while the
dominant party can always find means

mails. The patent Office reports-how

Snow commenced falling last night,
and continues steadily descending this
morning. The weather is moderate. The
continued fall of snow for the past three

sion of travel in the city, and business is
greatly retarded. Nearly all the trains
arrived late, and all the mails are behind
time.

diseased sheep have lately been brought

over &C, 900 sheep, suffering from con-
tagious skin disease, have been sent here
from Illinois and slaughtered, and the
meat distributed 'about the city. No
alarm is felt, however, as no more has
arrived except the one lot, and no more
anticipated, as precautions have been
taken to prevent the distribution OF any
more diseased meat.

LEGAL RATE OF INTEREST.

1t may be well to have a legal rate oi
interest, say six or seven per cent, to
prevail when no contract is made Tor a
different rate, but any further legislation
on the subject leads to evasions of the
law, and keeps capital from coming into
the State for profitable investments.
Money, in its current shape. is worth
more to the man who has notes in bank
70 meet than to others. The law may
prohibit a capitalist from charging him
more than a certain rate Of interest, but
the law cannot force that capitalist to
lend: the money; consequently the Dor
rover in a strait will put up collaterals
in the shape of bonds, jewelry or
other valuables, giving a bill OF
sale for the same, and agreeing YER
bally to pay one or two per cent
per month, according to his necessl-
ties. with an understanding that the
property so pawned can be redeemed at
a specified time. Such evasions OF the
law are common transactions made by
all classes, and the legal rate of in
terest is practically dead letter. The
borrower is the best judge as to what he
is able and willing to give-the same as
n person who wants few barrels OF coal
or -four in a time Of great scarcity. The
money market should be left to regulate
itself and until this is done money
matters will continue tight; for capital
is proverbially timid and seeks fields for
investments where there are the fewest
legal restrictions. We never could see
why it was usury to charge twelve per
cent. per annum for money and
not usury to charge two
dollars a barrel for coal or one
dollar bushel for corn after a
short crop. Money represents coal, corn
bacon, house rent, clothing and other
necessities of life, and has its huctuating
value according to the demand and sup
ply of the times. This is Constitu-
tional question in our State, but should
be considered and understood before an
other Convention assemblies.
