GENERAL GORDON AND THE THIRD TERM
From the Augusta Constitutionalist.I

AUGUSTA, Ca, July 13, 1874
l feel impelled to correct misapprehension
which some Of the press have received from the
report IN the HERALD OF q conversation with my
self.
Personal considerations would not induce me to
speak, but, lest the comments which have seen
in some of the democratic papers should cause
damage to the democratic party, beg TO say that
whoever lnterprets me as advocating any other
than purely democratic canvass, with a demo
cratic platform and the truest OF democratic can
dldates upon IT., or as doubling the probability OF
democratic success, misin nterprets me-
II Is not necessary hope, for me to say that
have not claimed any intimacy with General
Grant, nor to know anything whatever OF his
views or purposes from anything that he has ever
said to me; Tor have never talked with him upo
any party issues or party programme OF the past.
the present or the future. Ihe reporter entirely
misunderstood me. All now say, or have said, is
that General Grant is cordial and courteous to
Southern gentlemen, and my Ideas OF his pur-
poses are based entirely upon observation.
With my thanks for the justice you have sought
to do me, am, very truly, yours,
J. B. GORDON.

MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS,
why the streets Are Obstructed


The western Union Telegraph Company re-
quested Mr. SchafIer, superintendent of the
Bureau of Encumbrances, to remove banner sign
which is placed in front OF No. e4e Broadway in
such manner that 1t actually interrupts tele-
graph communication. Mr.. Schafier was unable
to do anything in the matter, the practical ope-
ratOns OF the bureau, so far as removing encum-
brances from the streets are concerned, have been
suspended for the last four months This delight
tul condition OF things vas brought about by our
honest Comptroller, who refused to advance the
money necessary to pay for the laborers and trucks
which must be employed in these removals,
although he Is directed to do so by law Com
plants about distractions of the streets caused by
CARTS wagons, timber boxes &C. are received
every day, and Mr.. Schafer is unable to
take any action, owing to the Obstlnacy Of the
Comptroller. Mr.. Schafer in order to remove any
encumbrances, must employ trucks and aborers
and take the property to one OF the Corporation
yards-there are two, one at the foot OF Gansevoort
street and North River and the other at Rvington
street and the East River-where they are sold at
auction. The Board OF ApportiOnment appropriated
$4,000 for the current year for this purpose, but
Mr.. Green has perslstently refused to advance a
cent Moreover, he has asked Mr.. Schaffer 10 ad-
vance the money himself, and now that the latter
has paid over $500 out of his own pocket the
Comptroller declines to reimburse him.

Yesterday Afternoons 1ire-A
Card of Thanks from
Mrs. Lowe.

The fire department had a run
out to the vicinity of Mrs. Loves
farm yesterday afternoon, where
they found a dangerous prairie fire
raging, which had been started
thoughtlessly by some school child
ren. A shanty on Mrs. loves farm
was burned down, but the main
house was saved by the firemen
connecting the hose of engines !
and 2, and throwing a stream of
water from a creek.
Mrs. Lowe is very thankful for
the successful efforts of the firemen,
who had such a long run, as will be
seen by the following card from her:
l desire to return thanks to the
fire department and citizens for
their prompt response to the cry for
help yesterday afternoon, and their
assistance in protecting my tenant
houses and barns from fire, which
would have resulted i'm their destruc.
ton had it not been for their efforts.
The day was intensely warm, and
On account of the high wind there
was great danger apparent. The
distance from the city made the eff
forts of the fire department doubly
appreciated. SOPHIA LOWE.

A Man Of Family.

The Pittsburgh Leader, of May
4th, gives the following account OF
a colony-consisting of but one fam
ily-Dound for Nebraska:
"a German emigrant passed
through this city on Saturday on
his way to Nebraska, where he has
purchased a farm. OF the nineteen
children, thirteen e boys, and
six girls. There were three pairs of
twins among the children, four of
which were boys and two girls.
They spoke pretty fair English,
were all stout and hearty-looking,
and were the right kind of a family
to start a new settlement with.
After the old gentleman had drawn
them up in line, and counted heads,
they embarked on the train for
their home"

New ORLEANS, April 80, 1874.
TO Vim. B. Porter, Rattsn,outh,

Great restitution i'm the overflow

less and penniless. Make our ne
cessities known. Forward cOntri-
buttons to me, here, as rapidly as
possible. Fraternally,
H. w. l.. LEWIS.
Now, therefore, you will at your
next meeting give the members of
your grange an opportunity to con-
tribute to the relief of our Brothers
and Sisters in distress, in the State
of Louisiana. Send whatever is
contributed by our people by Postal
Money Order, payable to H.
w. l.. Lewis, at New Orleans,
La, with the compliments of your
Grange. Don't fail to send. even
if the contribution be small, send it
on the principle of the "widow's
mite;;" waste no time in cores
pondence with this office. While
the great Mississippi has broken
through the ~levees, and is flooding
vast districts, and our brothers and
sisters have had to abandon all, and
flee for their lives, We are living in
comparative securing. We can con.
tribute a small sum without detri-
ment to ourselves and families.
In the hope that the Patrons OF
Nebraska will respond promptly
and not debate the propriety of the
thing, or how we can give most,
but give a little, and that little soon,
