Grant and the Third Term.
New YORK, Oct 22.-The National Repub-
lican, which been advocating a third term for
Gen. Grant, says to-day;
"The Presidency during another term would
have few attractions for him. 1t can confer
upon him no further or higher honors. There
is no reason, THEREFORE to suppose that he de-
sires it. On the contrary, his national tastes
and inclinatitns are known to be in the dir &C.
ton of domestic quietude and privacy. These
facts would make him appear ridiculous should
he come out with a pronunciamento declining
denomination in advance of it's tender.''

Gov. Dix Against Third Term.
New YORK, Oct. 22-In an interview with
Herald reporter, yerterday, Governor Dix ex-
pressed an emphatic dsapproval of a third
term for Grant, and said if requested by his
constituents, should defneshis position on that
question in unmiStakable terms. He was con-
fident that nothing was farther from General
Grants mind than scheme for being reelected
in 1876.
BOSTON, Oct. 22.-Hon. Geo. B. Loring is
nominated for state senator by the Republicans

Disturbance at a GoOch Meeting.
A meeting of Gooch's friends was held in
Charlestown this evening and addressed by D.
w. GoOch, Henry L. Dawes and others. The
meeting was disturbed in an unwarrantable
manner by parties who Kissed the Goooh ban
ner and boisterously applauded every mention
of the name of Banks. The disturbance Gull
minated in a false alarm of fire which for a
time threatened to result in serious panic,
MIR. Castor Speaks.
NEW BEDFORD, Oct. 22.-Mr. CASTOR made
his first address in the present state campaign
in this city this evening, to meeting complet-
ly filling Liberty Hail. Henry Field presided,
with 81 vice presidents and secretaries of New
Bedford andsneighborng towns.
Mr.. CASTOR commenced by passing the dead
issues to the dead past and arrai gning Con-
gress for wasting time in chickering's that should
be given to craftsmanship in these times of f.
nancial distress. He rejoiced that slavery is
gone, and called for justice toward the South.
The temperance question was perhaps the most
important local issue. The Republican party
does not meet it.. Last year it adopted plat
form which has been ignored by the executive
now it re nominates him and makes platform
to suit, not daring to express an opinion on
this most important subject. 1t is not the par
ty of outspoken men like Lincoln and An
drew. The Democratic party is not party
of freedom, but in favor of all in the proper
domain of legislation that will lessen the evils
Of ntemperance The commonwealth has tried
the. prohibitory and constabulary claw. Its

IT remained for Hepworth Dixon, one of
the gaudiest of historical scene painters, to
discover that the Emperor William is "mys-
tical KAISER" and that in his features there
is something of the pensive and accusing
spirit of monk" 1t was only by ga sur
prise of the imagination" Mr.. Dixon says,
in his lecture recently delivered in New York,
that he caught this look on the sturdy old
Germans face. By chain of reasoning
familiar to writer's Of his school, but quite in
comprehensive to others, he traces this pc
culiar expression to the fact that the Kaiser
is "the first evangelical emperor on this plan
et." Trath is, Mr.. Dixon saw the Emperor
William and Bismarck walking together un-
der the lindens at Berlin, and he couldn't re-
sist the temptation to make pretty picture.
Now writers of the Dixonian school produce
their greatest effects by means of striking
contrasts, and as the Chancellor is an emil
nently practical man it was necessary to rep
resent the bluff old monarch, most hard
headed of men, as eminently theoretical.
Hence this "pensive and accusing spirit of
the monk.o

In the New York county towns the Demo-
cratic committees are supplying money for
the prohibitionists who run the separate
tickets. The money is levied on the liquor
saloons. And consistency is jewel.
It all depends on ones politics down south.
Here is aristocratic old Virginia, with three
ex.governors living, all of whom were born
at the north. They are Democrats, and
therefore are not carpet baggers.
Congressman Morey of Louisiana writes
to the chairman of the Republican state COM
mittee that the whites in his district are
using every effort to prevent the negroes
from registering and that only very small
portion of the colored voters will be able to
register.
The Philadelphia City Item says: "Toombs
says he wishes his record was as good with
his God as 1t is with his country. 1t proba-
bly, is. His country has already damned
him." Yet Toombs does not agree with the
rest of the world in wishing that he was dead.
There were ninety-tour Democratic votes
in the last Congress, and of these fifty.two
were either ex-Confederate army officers or
gentlemen whose course during the war was
such that they were obliged to take the mod
flied oath prescribed for rebels before they
could occupy their seats as members of the
Congress. The ex-Confederate element con-
trolled the Democratic party in the last Con-
gress, but it hopes to control the next Con-
gress itself-Philadelphia Press.
Two new Presidential candidates! The
Cincinnnti Gazette brings them both out on
the same day. Here they are: "There is
William Orion. Why would not he make as
good President of the United States as he
has of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany? Joseph Medill OF Chicago, is man
of fine ability, great practical experience, and
well-fitted for the highest Office in the gift of
the American people. When talking about
the next Presidency, the people may as we'll
bear the name of Joseph Medill in mind.'
Mr.. Isaac 81. Bailey has written letter
accepting the Republican nomination as rep
resentative from the Eleventh Congressional
District. He refers in this to the response
bilties of such position at the present time,
saying that it is necessary to establish the
fact that there is a perfect identity of inter-
est between all sections of the country, in
order to give that stability to the currency
which can only come by providing for its re-
demption in coin; that the condition of the
southern states demands earnest considera-
ton, and that, while nothing should be done
which could possibly imperil the rights of the
colored race, the utmost indignation should
be felt towards the mercenaries who have
used the cloak of humanity to enrich them
selves at the expense of that class, and there
by teach it their own venality.

JUDGE APPLETON is preparing majority
opinion of the Supreme court in answer to
the enquiry of the Governor, adverse to the
eligibility Of women to the office of Justice of
Peace on the ground that the constitution
contemplates that all offices named therein
can be held by men only. If the acts of wo-
men hitherto appointed as justices are void,
some interesting questions may arise, es-
pecially if the court goes to the extent of
holding them incapable, by reason of their
sex, of solemnizing marriages. 1t will be a
matter of some curiosity to learn upon what
specific grounds the court bases It's prohibit
ton. A minority opinion taking the oppo-
site view of the intent of the constitution
will probably be given.

A DisgracefuI Affair.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-In BROOKLYN this
morning Albert o. Croker and Charles Shaw,
two delegates to the Democratic convention,
and several other politicians, while in state of
intoxication, entered an Italian BARRIERS shop
kept by one Dombraggio, and proceeded to de-
molish the furniture, ETC., and when lnterfered
with by the proprietor and assistant set upon
them. The BARRIERS head was laid open by a
blow and the assistant wounded severely. Dom
braggio seized pair of large shears and
plunged them into Crocker's abdomen, causing
| his entrails to protrude. The assistant mean
while attacked Shaw with sabre, cutting off
his nose and otherwise injuring him seriously,
though not fatally. The physicians pronounce
Crocker's wound fatal Dembraggio and his
assistant, who are described as peaceable citi-
zens, surrendered themselves
A Trial Trip.
The new Pacific mail steamship City of Toxic
started on her trial trip this morning, with 600
invited guests on board, representing the COM
many from other cities. The trip will last
twenty-four hours and is intended to give the
tea and silk merchants and others interested an
opportunity to judge of the merits of the
steamer.
Speeches were made by A. A. Low, who ap-
proved free trade and the proposed Isthmus
canal; Mr.. Dale, who claimed that America
could produce as fine silk fabrics as could be
obtained elsewhere, End by John Roach, the
builder of the Toxic, ex-Gov. Bross Of Illinois,
Sage, and several merchants. The speed made
by the ship was extraordinary and her freedom
from motion remarkable. The excursonsts
will land in New York tomorrow evening

Jasper K. Herbert has commenced suit in
the Supreme Court of Kings county to recover
from Gen. Benz f. Butler $4,000, being half

Labor Question.
The principal boss coopers of the city have
informed their foremen that after Saturday
night any of their employees not renouncing the
Coopers' Union will obtain no further employ
ment from them. The effect of the affair will
be to lock out all the members of the Coopers'
Union, numbering over 5000 men, whose weekly
salary amounts in the aggregate to over $780,
600. The working coopers say that while the
bosses do not find fault with the work of the
Union men or their rate of wages, four dollars
per day, they are actuated solely by a desire to
claim that if their employers gain any advan-
tage by the lockout, they will next endeavor to
cut down wages and increase the hours of work.
A similar movement was Intellectual five years
ago, but the present one seems firmly estab-
liShed.
