THERE must be some truth in the re-
port that President GRANT expects to re-
c,ive his third term by being the nOmi-
nee Of the opposition party. As far as
regards the selection of that party being
successful, General GRANT shows greater
foresight than the country has ever given
him credit for; but this is counterbalanced
bv the idea that he will be that selection.
In this latter particular We opine that he
is wonderfully mistaken. However it is
natural, for thoughts have no more ready
fathers than wishes.
