Another proof Of the inferiority Of man to
woman has just boen established by DR.. John
Stockton Hough, in tho Medical Record, who
contends, with various faots and figures to sns-
tain him, that tho fomfnino longevity ia groator

afirms that, "1f tho Ho1os woro croatcd sopa-

SENATOR MORTON ON INC0RRUpT1ON.
Senator Morton, OF Indiana, undoubtedly
poaResBos moro "cheoa than any other public
man alivo. Ben Du''or not excepted. Flo be-
longs to tho prizo-riag of American politics.
and, since tho doatl Of Douglas, he has Ind no
equal for audacity, combatiyenoas, unsorupu-
1ousncss logical forco, ind Bophiatical
cunning. At tho proaont timo he
is accredited with the doairo to be
nominated for the Presidency in 1876, ind to DO
opposed to the third-tern principle. In his
speech at Athens, Ohio, yesterday, ho did not
deliver any opinions on this question, but ho
affirmed broadly md upon his honor az Senator
that tho atato Of purity In political affairs and
public administration is higher and moro refined
in this country to~lay tllnn it ever was before In
any part Of the world. This is ono OF those
startling assumptions for which Mr. Morton
Ia renowned. We arc bound to Say that,
from an artistic point Of Wow, wo admire
tho ofrrontery Of tho nlan who could uttor sucll

REvERDY J0HNs0Ns VIEWS OF THIRD
TERM POLITICS.

Rovordy johnson has given the correspondent
of the New York Herald Ills views on Cnsariem
and Cnsar with franknoss and force quito lis
own. That Genoral Grant wants to be prosi-
dent another term, he is certain. His love of
money, which las been 30 happily characterized
by tho farmers of Iroquos County, ILL.,, rs ia
morbid Ayarico,' Mr.. johnson believes to DO hia
ruling motive, and one that Ia Of itaclf enough
to induce him to sock to retain d " situation "
which lie has maio 30 profitable as tho presi-
doncy. He would have vetoed the salary-grab bill
If LIE could hayo got, beforehand, the assurance
ho sought tint his own salary would DO increased
without reference to those Of Congressman.
This assurance was not Forthcoming, and he ap-
proved tho grub by Wholesale rather than loso
his own share. These things show, in Mr. john
Hor's view, TINT he would unscrupulously
nBe all tho machinery Of tile. Govern
mont to achieve third nomination and
election. But tho election md tho nom
ination aro two diiforont things. Party nachin-
cry makes the first practically suro thing tho
reserve power Of tho popular common sonso may
be trusted to defeat tho second. Thoro is no
wrtteu constitutional inhibition of third torn.
but there is in tho minds Of the pooplo au un-
written detestation Of tho idoa which is deopor
and stronger than moro onactmont, and
makes tho suggestion of oleottng any
man to three terms abhorront to tho people.
Mr.. johnson declares .that Lo would not
vote for Washington for third term if Io we're
living to-lay. On the whole, l,e does not think
Grant's chances for third term amount to
much. Tho Republican politicians dnro not atl-
vocate it, for thoy know TINT it would drive
thousands Of good Republicans into tho oppos-
ton ranks Besides, tlore are many Republican
leaders who have ambitions Of thoir own to
further, md who will in all ways seek to prevent
Grants denomination. Of all these he thinks
Mr. Blaine has tho best chance In 1876, US 10
