latter days has fallen upon the Administration
oracles in this city, the party has founded
trustworthy organ, to give US from day to day
the unadulterated gospel of Grant. We be-
lieve it knows what sort of work the Presi-
dent wants done, better than Gen. Dix and
Mr.. RobesOn together. And yesterday it spoke
clearly enough for a wayfaring man. even
though he be 80 humorous person as Judge
Pierrepont. to understand what tune it has
been set to play.
A few days ago Mr.. Alexander II. Stephens
of Georgia made q solemn and formal speech
in which he declared his adhesion to the third
term movement. That we may do him no in
justice we quote his language, transmitted by
telegraph Referring to President Grant, he
" would do him the justice to say that he had
"done his duty. As to the third term, he
chad no objection to that per Sc. He saw no
"reasOn why President who executed the
claws faithfully should not be elected for
"third term il the people desired it," The
new Grant organ in its issue of yesterday
takes occasion to indOrse and adopt this
utterance of Mr.. Stephens in the most posi-
tive and enthusiastic manner. After speaking
in praise of the speech The Republic says
" III 1b Ill tnt inquest ucBrcc uaItortUS W eho
Administration, whose persistence in legal,
consistent and judicious course of proce-
"dure, as regards the South. has been met
"by a storm of Obloquy, as ill-timed and
dangerous to the stability of our institu
" tiOns as it has been unjust. That 80 prom
"inent and influential a man as Alexander
"H. Stephens has at last grasped the true as
"pect of the situation is at once creditable
"to bis own heart and his own discernment,
"and to the wise and just Government which
"he thus literally and honestly indorses."
We commend this authorized statement of
the attitude of the Administration on the third
term question to those of its swift servants
who have Outrun it's orders and who pretend
to deny that there has been any serious
thought of the reelection of the President.
His own organ says that criticism of him is
dangerous to the stability of our institu-
"tions." The only way to have peace and
quiet and good government is to keep on
electing him, and not making trouble about it.
The Presidents organ says that MIR. Stephens,
in recognizing this, "has grasped the true
"aspect of the situation" We think there is
no doubt that he has grasped it perfectly so
far as the White House view OF the matter is
concerned

MUNICIPAL NOMINATIONS.

The Anti-Tammany municipal nominations
are not launched as well as they deserve.
Mr.. Ottendorfer would make conscientious
Mayor, and his general ideas of public
duty are sound and safe. He himself doubt
less realizes that it would be better, other
things being equal, to put in the Mayors
chair q gentleman TO whom English is not a
foreign tongue. He has not sought the nom
ination, and he certainly does not want the
Office; but he stands for reform movement
in the German Democracy that deserves all
praise and encouragement. Gen. Jones, who
has been nominated on the same
ticket for Register, is far better man
for the place than Hayes, the Tammany
candidate; and we wish there were better
prospect of such combinations as might make
his election probable. He is Republican,
was good soldier and good Postmaster,
and after pledging all his property to make
good the defalcatiOn of subordinate, for
which he was nowise to blame, he is left
a poor man solely by reason OF his honest
public service. If we must have substantial
sinecures, like the Registership, it would seem
that men like Gen. Jones are the kind of
persons to whom they should be given.
The one chance for the defeat of Tammany
would seem to be the union of all the oppos-
ton on this ticket. We judge from the
adjournment of the Republican Convention,
that they have begun to suspect that fact, and
want time to think it over. We do not believe
the Custom house can make much use of
either Ottendorfer or Jones, and doubt there
fore if it could be better employed for the
c;ty than in sunnort of that ticket

Failure at San Francisco of firm which
has acted as the agent of the Changers in
their heavy ventures of wheat directly shipped
from that city to Europe, was announced yes
terday. 1t came on the heels of resolutions
passed by the GraDgers declaring their con-
fidence in the firm. 1t may be inferred that
they, like other people new to mercantile
business, are beginning with few mistakes.

Constitutional Amendments, and urge their
