ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.

AT four O'Clock yesterday afternoon two men
named John Ridley and Michael Knowles and
stranger were engaged in dredging that part Of
the East River near pier No. 7, wnen the steam
tug Grogns ran into their boat. The shock was so
severe that Ridley's leg was broken, and Knowles
only saved his life by jumping into the water and
swimming ashore. The stranger, however, was
not seen afterwards, and 1t IL Thought that he was
drowned. Those VINO were on the steamtug and
the canal boats In tow rendered no assistance
whatever TO those in the water The steamboat
Stevens then came upon the scene and took away
the dredging boat in spite OF the circumstances or
her owner, Mr. william Benson. These occur-
rences are now becoming SO frequent that IL would
be well II the authorities should do something to
prevent them.

What has been said OF o third term In connection
with General Grant does not seem to have been
suggested by any expressed wish OF the President.
1t Is denied by some Of those who claim to be his
friends that he has any such aspirations. The
declaration Of Colonel MOsby and others In his
favor for third term is not regarded as being
prompted by aught but their own wishes. His ap
pOintments are not OF such character as to war
rant the idea OF any such design, nor does he in
terfere with the work OF his own Cabinet to an
appreciate degree. In addition to the obstacles
presented to third term by the unwritten
custom OF the country ID the ambition Of those
republican asptrants, as well as those OF other
parties who expect to enter the Presidential
race of 1875. 1t is quite possible that General
Grant might be willing to accept third term If
offered him, as the cares Of state do not sit as
heavily upon him as upon his predecessors, and
he would not experience the same sensation OF re-
lief upon retiring from ONCE as those whose labors
and responsibilities have left them no time for So
cial enjoyment or for attention to their private az
fairs. Where an incumbent can stake it easy"
there would seem to be no limit to Ills capacity OF
enduring Presidential honors. We hope and be-
neve, however, that General Grant, even though
not wearied with Official burdens will have re-
spect enough for precedent and public opinion not
to attempt third term.

The Public Awakening on the
Question Of the Day.
Comments Of Organs Of Public Opinion
in Important Centres.

Prom the Battleboro (N.C.) Advance, (democratic)
July 49,
The proposition to elect General Grant third
term Is not only discussed in the newspapers, but
Is advocated by many OF his adherents with q zeal
worthy Of better cause. The tyranny which has
been exercised with impunity over the Southern
States. In the name OF reconstruction, has embold-
ened the tyrant and familiarized the people with
despotism. At first the proposition to elect Gen.
eral Grant for third term was regarded as wild
and chimerical, but the idea has assumed a
serious aspect, and the Northern press short
time ago so laudatory Of Grant, are to-day alarmed
at the tendency toward despotism and loud in
their denunciations OF C@sarism, which is term
used to denne Grants ambitious schemes 10 retain
and perpetuate his power. That Grant Is plotting
for another term and ready to use the immense
patronage Of the government to secure 1t, there
seems to be no doubt. Nor is there any doubt
about his receiving the nomination again rom the
radicals II he desires 1t. The only question with
him Ia as to the result OF such nomination.
The NEW YORK HERALD, one Of his strong
supporters at the last election, has
changed his praise into abuse and
continues day after day to sound the alarm OF
Casarism. *** The licentious abuse Of power,
which the Northern people have encouraged in
their rulers, when applied to the South is now
coming home to them. Those who have sown the
wind let them reap the whirlwind.

DEMOCRACY AND RAD1cAI1sM.-

DEMOCRACY AND RADIcALIsM.-
The Democratic party reveres the
Constitution as the sole anchor OF
popular liberty, and the surest con
servator of public prosperity. The
Republican party, on the other hand,
ignores the axioms established as
fundamental by the experience of the
past, and disposes OF all questions ac-
cording to the counsuls of its own
arbitrary will. The moral ideas
which were so loudly proclaimed by
that organization are now openly re-
pudiated, and lust for power has taken
the place of love of principle. And
its moral professions have come to be
regarded as but the part of hypocracy,
since SO many of its bright lights have
been detected in ways that arc dark
and tricks that are yain.s
