The Third Term.
WASHINGTON, D. c., October 21.--There
are limitations in political quarters here to
the effect that upon the return of the
President to Washington, which event will
happen at an earlier date than was antic.
pated when he started on his last pleasure
tour, he will cause to be promulgated much
more definitely than was asserted by Secre-
tary Robson that his views upon the third
term question are altogether in opposition to
the consideration, by bis political friends, of
that long.mooted subject. 1t Is very we'll
known that the Radical leaders, who are in
a high state of alarm since the
result of the elections a week ago,
will endeavor to have the President dis
claim all sentiments favorable to third.term
nomination. On the other hand, several
prominent friends of the Administration de-
clare that there is no present necessity for
any such positive enunciation of the Presi,
dents views, and that Grant, in spite of the
cIamor to satisfy popular curiosity on the
topic, will preserve his proverbial reticence
and allow the matter to be determined by the
people, to whose will, as he has heretofore
expressed himself, he will submit. 1t is very
evident that the third-term dogma is making
much mischief in the rank and file of the
Radical party.
The Democracy In New York and
Pennsylvania.
Reports from New Yorkss to the progress
of the campaign of the Democracy of that
State are very favorable, land the election Of
Tilden by large majority, with several
Democratic gains in congressional districts,
are set down by careful observers Of the po-
litical situation as exceedingly probable.
Advices from Pennsylvania are also very
satisfactory to the Democracy, and heavy
gains in that State are regarded as absolutely
certain.
About the Removal of Army Head
quarters TO st. Louis.
1t is well understood that plans are already
matured for the purpose of attempting to
effect the return of army headquarters to
this city Immediately upon the assembling
of Congress. This will be regarded as d.
rect blow at General Sherman, and it. is
somewhat doubtful if the movement will be
successful. Some interest is felt to know
what comments, If any, the Secretary of
War will have to make in bis forthcoming
message upon the removal of headquarters
to St. Louis. Should Congress make any
determined move towards compelling Gene
raj Sherman to reestablish his headquarters
here the effect might, as several of his
friends imagine, cause his resignation; in
which event speculation will busy itself very
thoroughly as to whether he would be the
candidate of the Democratic or of an Inde-
pendent party for the presidency.
The Alleged Southern Outrases.
Since the recent activity of the Attorney
General in showing up alleged southern out
RACES it has become question In the minds
of prominent Democrats as to whether par
ties have not been paid as deputy marshals
and others whose sole service consisted in
manufacturing outrages, stories, &C., and it
is therefore understood that when Congress
meets motion will be made to print the
testimony taken last winter in regard to the
contingent expenses of the Department OF
Justice, as that may show what some of the
contingent funds have served for in the past
summer. T1AoN.
