THE EVENING posi- on THE THIRD TERM.

New YORK, Oct. 24.-The Ereaiag Post has
the following editorial:
"The President of the United States seems
DESTROYS to leave the Republican party no altern-
atiye but suicide or his renomination-to destroy
itself or to be destroyed. This is great sacri-
flee to make but, if necessary, it will not be too
great for the lesson it will teach. 1t will give
President Grant the unenyiable distinction OF
being the first and the last of our Chief Magis-
| trates who has presumed to look upon a third
| term, to lust after it."
| Gov Dix is besorght to intervene, and by a
| full expression Of mis- well known opposition
to the establishment of Presidential dynasty
| in New York; but that would only hasten the
result which it would be expected to prevent.
| 1t would only manifest more clearly the Presi-
dents determination to part with none OF his
chances for nomination.
| In politics. as i'll law, secondary testimony is
never received when better can be produced
! Besides the declaration of Gen. Dix would only
bind himself-it would not bind the party.
| 'The men who, in the convention at Utica, re-
| fused to utter the timely words. when silence
| was worse than % political crime-when 1t was a
blunder- would, if called together again for tho
nomination of q President, pay no regard te
anything which Gov. Dix might now say upon the
| subject.
| TIE time is passed for any words OF healing
| from the Governor of New York to do any good
| If any one now can save the Republican party
! from destruction it is the President, and tho
| President only.
| If President Grant, however, designs to make
| this New York election Presidential, instead o.
| Gubernatorial, he is pursuing just the course
| to accomplish his pnrpo. e, and we venture tt

He Decides Against the Conservatives.

Last evening A. P. Field, Esq, who assumes
to act as the Attorney General of this State,
dered his opinion relative to the legality Of the
naturalization of foreign citizens by the Second
District Court He differs from our ablest law
yers on the question, and says that those voters
who have received their certificates are not le-
gally entitled to them. In closing his opinion he
says:
After very careful and patient examination Of
the question you have submitted to me for my
official opinion, and, if 1 know myself, with de-
termination to divest my mind Of all political in
1uences in coming to a conclusion, am con-
strained to say that do not believe that under

AN ARITHMETiCAL WONDER
The Republican in a New Part-ss That
Old, Old Dodge"

Win us characteristic disregard for truth,
and cynical contempt for the intelligence of
its readers. the Republican pretends that thou
sands @ Of Democrats have taken fraudulent
registration papers in the city.
From the fact that the entire registration
has been conducted BY the Republicans party
friends, and that every possible continuance
has been adopted by those INSCRIPTIONS
tools OF Packard and Kellogg, TO prevent our
best known white citizens from registering,
while innumerable negroes have been supplied
with votingpapers in wards in which they have
never lived-hundreds Of them designating
vacant lots as their place OF residence-the
show Of virtuous indignation gotten up by the
State printing leech is remarkably suggestive
Of the cry stop thief" when uttered by a
fugitive pick-pocket who finds himself too
closely pursued. This is such an old and worn
out dodge that we are astonished to find such
an imaginative set as the Republican Munchau-
sens resorting to it in their present desperate
strait
! This extraordinary phenomenon can only
be explained on the theory that all colored fe-
males and youths below the age Of twenty-one
are ri ,sidly prohi bited by penal statute from
living within the sacred limits of the Seventh
Ward, unless they are under the charge Of a
| colored voter But then there is one objection
to this plausible explanation, upon which we
would like to have the comments of the statis-
teal editor Of the Republican. Everybody who
has been in the Seventh Ward and for our
own part we have lived there for several years
past-every transient visitor Of that ward even
| cannot fail to be struck with the remarkable
fact that its streets and doorsteps are orna-
mented with an immense variety and num-
Der Of women and children of African descent
| The utter absurdity-to call it by a very
mild name indeed of the Republicans brazen
assertion cannot be more plainly exposed
than by comparing the registration Of the
Seventh Ward with the total population OF
that ward, as exhi oited by the United States
census.
Ilr that ward, the census gives population
of 777l colored and 10,699 white residents.

women and children) have yielded bountiful
harvest Of 2456 colored votes, whereas the
10, 600 white residents only give 2lO1 votes!
In other words, you cannot find three colored
persons Of every age and sex in that ward
who do not own at least one vote between
them, whereas it takes fire of their less
favored white neighbors to produce solitary
voter.
Yet the extraordinary and even miraculous
fact is on record that every two of them rep
resents one Vote, while their less favored
Caucasian neighbors, before they can have
the privilege Of voting, must produce at least
two female relatives and pair of youthful
responsibilities. Most wonderful indeed
hardly short Of an interposition Of Providence
in favor of the Radicals Of the Seventh
Ward-and yet the Republican is not happy

There it is again. The Picayune has made
another blunder. Will it never learn any,
thing? We have all along attributed the
errors of that journal to lack Of judgment on
its part, never for a moment dreaming that a
deficiency in brains was the real cause OF its
troubles. We were always inclined to accord
fair amount of intelligence to its writers, but
really its exhibitions of obtuseness Of late, and
its manifest stupidity in the Interpretation OF
the simplest proposition, satisfy us that it IS
plain common sense that is wanting in the
Picoyune's sanctum. AS a sample Of most
unmitigated and diabolical guliibility OF our
contemporary, we give the following from its
edition Of Yesterday evening
| Tho BULLETIN in an editorial headed "a Pro-
test and Suggestion" which appeared IN this
mornings issue, speaking OF the display ana
presence of the military in this city, says I've
demand that the GovernG ent shall not persist in
its shameful disregard Of the rights OF the peo-
pie"
In another article on the same subject, the edi-
tor OF that paper says:
sour Government Is too just too kind and too
devoted TO use its power against its own people.
But it is equally firm and resolute in sustaining
it's honor its integrity, and its national rights,
a3ainst all invasions OF foreign powers. lhfee
cheers for the Stars and Stripes and the boys IN

| OF Consistency, thou art a Jewell
We venture the assertion that not an intel
ligent lad in the city, at all familiar with the
political characteristics Of the BULLETIN,
would have construed the las paragraph
quoted above as anything more than satire
upon the Federal Government. 10 those
who know anything, the irony is visible II
every word almost And yet the PIC swal
lowed it whole and in its literal sense, and
by quoting it at us attempts to prove incon-
sistency on our part.
1t is evident now that the Picayne MAN
is too much of WEIGHT for any paper to
pack. He bears more heavily than the Ole
Man Of the Sea on the back Of Sinbad the
Sailor. In future let our contemporary throw
away its Walkers Dictionary and invoke, il
preference, the translating abilities of its
