Nebrssks Against Third Term
What OF Now York;

The republicans of Nebraska, in their
recent State Convention, adopted as part of
the platform upon which they expect the suf-
frages of majority of their people in their
coming State election, o declaration in favor Of
the election of the President and Vice President
of the United States directly by the popular
VOTE and pronounced emphatically against
the new idea of q third term to the President
The Nebraska republicans thus boldly have
placed themselves in line with their brethren
of Pennsylvania, Kansas and West Virginia
against the entertainment Of this dangerous
idea of third term to President Grant
Doubtless Va have here the general sentiment
upon the subject of the republican party
throughout the Union, and yet the impression
prevails that not only within the party lines is
there a formidable movement on foot for
another term to General Grant, that it is gain
ing strength from day to day, but that it is
engineered by General Grant himself, and
promises to be successful, at least so far as
the issue of third term may be determined
by the Republican National Convention Of
1875
1t is apparent that the question will not be
settled before the meeting of this Convention
if left to the decision of General Grant 1t
appears that though very quietly, he is very
actively working for another term. If, there
fore, in this view, he has become dead
weight upon the republican party, the party
must act if it would be relieved of the bur-
den. So far as Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Kansas and Nebraska are concerned, the party
has acted but it seems to be understood that
the President relies upon New York to neu-
tralize the action Of these other States against
this third term project. Whatever may be
the official programme designed for New York
we believe that if the republicans of this great
Commonwealth, at their approaching State
Convention, declare against q third term to
the President, they will settle the question.
What then will be their action upon this
important matter at Utica? Looking to
the support of the people the liberal
republicans of the State have already, we may
say, defined their position. The democrats,
in their State Convention of the 18th inst,
will no doubt declare likewise in favor Of
faithful adhesion to the Presidential limit
established in the examples of Washington,
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and jackson; but
this will not meet the present necessities of
the case. They can this month be met and
settled only by the republican party of New
York in State Convention assembled. The
Pennsylvanians, to go no further, have shown
that there is no difficulty in distinct and
positive declaration upon the subject; but in
New York, it is feared, there are difficulties
in the way which the republicans, looking to
the support of the administration in our
November election, cannot overcome. In
any event the crucial test of the coming
Utica Convention will be upon this new
Presidential idea of third term.

Our CORRESPONDENTS continue to complain
of the regulations of the Park which forbid
gentlemen to play croquet. Old and young

seem equally to object to the stringent rule
The pressure upon the Commissioners is very

The Attorney General at tho Heas
of tho Government.

Of tho Government.
The President Of the United States in his
recent letter of instructions from Long Branch
70 General Belknap, Secretary of War, at
Washington, after calling his attention to the
''recent atrocities in the South particularly in
Louisiana, Alabama and South Carolina" and
to the dangers which they threaten ''unless
speedily checked" and to the duty of the
government, under such circumstances, "to
civil rights legally authorized" says, that ito
this end wish you would consult with the
Attorney General, who is we'll informed as to
the outrages already committed and the local
tiles where the greatest danger lies, and so
order troops as to be available in case of ne
cessity," and that "all proceedings for the
protection OF the South will be under the Law
Department of the government, and will be
directed by the Attorney General in accord
ance with the provisions of the Enforcement
acts
It thus appears that under the Enforcement
acts the Attorney General, SO far as the resto-
ration OF law and order in the Southern States
is concerned, is practically the head of the
government and charged with duties which
consttutionally are the duties of the Presi-
dent The Attorney General, for instance,
sends for the Secretary of War, and the Sec
rotary, on reporting in person at the Law De-
partment is told that three thousand troops
are wanted in Louisiana, two thousand in
South Carolina and fifteen hundred in Ala
bana, to be distributed at such and such
places, &C., and the Secretary, having received
his instructions, bows himself out and pro-
ceeds to execute his orders accordingly. Then
we have circular letter Of instructions from
the Attorney General to certain United States
marshals touching their duties in the premises,
iH,tructions which should emanate directly
signature. We conclude that the Presi-
dent, having had enough of it, has turned
over the unpleasant business of enforcing law
and order in the South to the Attorney Gene
raj, under the idea that the deputy in these
duties will serve as well as his principal. But
1t is the bounden duty of the President ''to
take care that the laws be faithfully executed"
The duties Of his Office are the execution of
the laws. He cannot properly, and especially
in serious emergencies, turn over his highest
responsibilities to his subordnates. As Com
mander-in-Chief OF the army it is his business
to instruct directly the Secretary of War touch
ing the movements of troops. In word. the
President should be now domiciled not at
Long Branch, but at Washington, for the
prompt and proper discharge of his official
duties.

SPAIN. --Serrano has formed new Ministry
under the Presidency of Senior Sagasta, who
holds the Home Office as well as the Presidency
of the Council. The other members of the
Ministry are not of note SeiIor Sagasta was
colleague of Serrano when Amadeus was King.
He combined with Serrano to dishonor that
young monarch and drive him from the
throne. He is regarded in Spain as
man of cunning, energy, audacity and
mendacity, the worst type of the worst
phase of Spanish political character. Sagasta
believes only in himself, and will serve the
interest that suits his own. There is this
about Serrano, that he is not ruler to be trifed
with, and so he may receive the loyal aid of
the able dangerous and interruptions man
whom he has summoned again to q post from
which he was driven two years ago by the
honest, patriotic indignation of the Spanish
people.

MACMAHoN AND THE FRENCH PRESS. AT
the meeting of the Permanent Committee of
the French Assembly an important discussion
was held upon the relations of the govern
ment to the press and the debate is detailed
in our Paris dispatches to-day. The attitude
of MacNahon's administration to journalism
is more worthy of the most tyrannical period
of the Empire than Of republic. The
attempts to exclude foreign journals from
France for no better reason than their publ
cation Of current news, such as the Bazaine
letter, the suspension OF republican journals,
the fear displayed of the Bonapartist press,
are evidences OF weakness and not of strength.
1t would be well for Marshal MacMahon
to remember the advice which Morny gave to
Louis Napoleon when he proposed to deprive
the Parisians of ChoriUari. The Emperor
complained that the Partisan Punch made the
people laugh at him. lit is better for you
that they should laugh than frown," said his
adviser. It may be possible for MacAIahon
to prosecute the press for time, but he can
not destroy the spirit which animates it.

American Relations with Japan.

1t would be pity if the United States
should be involved in any diplomatic diff
Guilty with Japan, a country with which we have
SO earnestly endeavored to cultivate friendly
relations. The end OF the war Of the Japanese
against Formosa, which is. announced in our
correspondence from the Kane Yama camp
to-day, fortunately removes one contingent
cause of trouble. The determination of Japan
not to be forced into conflict with China is
also hopeful indication. But there are other
events which are unfavorable and show that
the foreign representatives are disposed to
prevent an amicable settlement. The arrest
of General Legendre, who was sent to China
by the japanese government to continue the
peaceful negotiations begun in Formosa, was
the act Of United States officials at Annoy. 1t
is accepted in Yokohama as an evidence of
the determination OF foreign representatives
to defeat the Japanese policy. The French
Ambassador has acted in similar way, and
altogether, if Japan escapes war it will not.be
the fault of these representatives Of the West
ern Powers.
Trouble of another kind has arisen from
the Simonoseki indemnity, Mr.. Bingham,
our Minister in Japan, has received in
structlons from Washington to demand pay
ment in full of the American claim, and it is
said that the Japanese are not more disap-
pointed than Mr.. Bingham at this unexpected
course of our government The claim is not
urged primarily as matter of justice, but in
order to place the United States upon the
same footing as other nations But our friend
ship for Japan should make US act in q very
different spirit from that displayed by Euro
pean governments If it is not necessary to
American honor that the balance of this claim
should be exacted then it is an error to en-
force its payment Our correspondence gives
an interesting and complete account Of the
operations in the field which preceded the
close OF the war with Formosa, and of the
details Of the peace negotiations, and it is to
be hoped that our next mail will show that
the effort to prevent the settlement of the
dispute between China and Japan has been
wisely abandoned. What permanent Ameri-
can interests could be served by stirring up
strife in the East it is difficult to see
