THIRD TERM ALARM AT WASHINGTON =
A special dispatch to the New York Post
of yesterday indicates alarm in admins
tration circles at Washimgto about the
third term agitation injuring the party,
as Indicated in the late elections, and de-
clares that the matter viii receive earn
est consideration upon the return OF Pres
ident Grant, which viii take place imme
diately after his sons wedding, The cor
respondent adds:
"a member of the cebinct now i'll this
city has expressed himself very clearly to
yourcorrespondent,a and from what he says
there can be no longer any doubt that
the President will be strenuously urged
immediately to make public the senti-
ments which it is said he has all along
freely expressed in private conversations
to his official advisers and personal
friends. There is no use in trying to
miscontrue the popular will us indicated
by the elections last Tuesday. said this
member of the cabinet, for if it means
anything it is that the people of this
country do not intend to have II third
term President if they can help them
selves, and the sooner we recognize this
state of facts the better will it be for the
administration and republican party, and
the stronger will they become.
To the contrary of what is to be impli

of the President on the third term sub

Attorney General Williams has sent to
Gov. Brown, of Tennessee, an answer to
his recentprotest ae nst the interference
of United States officials in the police
regulations of that state. The basis OF
the opinion is the report of District-At-
torney MUIR az, of Tenn essee, who says
that he has inquired into all the facts,
and is ready to say that the United
States can and ought to try all the per-
sons supposed to be concerned in the
Gibson county outrages. Upon this war;
rant, the attorney general proceeds to
show Governor Brown that the United
States is fully justified in trying murder
ers in Tennessee, and he even asserts,
with reckless regard of facts, that the
right of the general government to inter-
fere in the manner indira ated has never
been seriously questioned. Very oppor-
tunely our Washington correspondent
sends the opinions of four eminent Uni
ted States judges all of them republicans,
which are directly in the teeth of Attor-
ney-General Williams conclusions. We
believe that the insolent attitude of the
national authorities towards the govern
| ment of Tennessee will be resented by all
intelligent men at the north who have at
heart the welfare of their country.

INDUSTRIAL STATISTICS.

By some means the legislature neglected
make an appropriation for carrying on the
work of the State Statistician the present
year. In view of this the Lewiston Jour
nal says: "Sheuld this omission necessi.

"dustrial statistics, as is feared. it will be
"a cause of regret. Such collection Of
"facts bearing on our industrial progress,
"have most beneficial influence in call
ling attention to our resources and invit-
ling their development"
in these remarks of the Journal as to
the value of such statistics is expressed
the general opinion of those who have
considered the subject. We hope that
some means may be found to obvate the
difficulty presented SO that the work may
be continued. BY continuation imperfec.
tons in the method of doing the work,
which were unavoidable in the beginning
will disappear, and gradually it will as
sumo more perfect form and development.
Some deficiencies in the volumes issued
have been noticed by some of the papers
OF the State, but when it is recollected
that the State Statistician had no guide to
direct him in his labors, no plan formed
upon which he was to act, no means OF
collecting facts except by the voluntary
contribution Of individuals, there is little
cause to be surprised or to complain at the
work produced. Better means would fur

The origin of the law under which the San
born contract was made has at last been ascer-
tanned. Mr.. Kelsey Of New York, when a
member of the Committee on Appropriations,
and when his term was just expiring, brought
q draft of this law into the Committee, Mr..
Dawes being then Chairman, and urged him
to insert it in a bill. Mr.. Dawes refused, and
carried the Committee against 1t, in spite of
the earnest personal appeals of Kelsey. At
the next session, being then out of Congress,
he came back with it. and tried to prevail up
on Gen. Garfield, then Chairman, to adopt it.
The latter refused, and his Committee again
killed it. Mr.. Kelsey then went to the Sem
ate, and by the aid of Messrs. Cole and
Sawyer, and others unknown, secured its in.
sertion. The House Committee of Conference
refused to agree to it. Mr.. Sawyer then
offered a modification which, as he explained
it, met the chief objections, end the Con-
ference Committee passed it rather than de-
feat the bill.

were elected of the three required to be

evening to settle the matter. The priest
was not elected.

Hon. A. w. Paine, tax commissioner,
writes the Augusta correspondent of the Bos-
ton Journal, that the act taxing insurance
companies was so amended by the legislature
after it passed out of his hands, a. to deduct
the illegal reserve" from the premiums of life
companies subject to taxation, and thereby
practically exempt life companies from the
intended tax of two per cent. The amend
ment alluded to, we are informed, was inserte d
by the Senate on the last day of the session,
and a few hours after concurred in by the
House, on a statement that it would still leave
a respectable tax on life insurance companies.
Before it's effect was fully understood by the
legislature, it was too late to remedy the de-
fect.-Leriston journal.

The evil result of failure by the re-
publicans of the Massachusetts legislature
to settle in caucus their division about a
candidate for United States Senator, is
seen in the vote taken yesterday. They
have division which will make serious
difficulty. unless better judgment prevails
than has hitherto controlled the action of
the republicans. Mr.. Dawes leads in both
branches, and thus has the argument Of
numbers and strength in his favor.

Illinois In All editorial from which We take
the followings
'Five year, ago, Massachusetts organi-
''sed a State Board of Statistics of Labor.
ut consists Of two men, a Chief and
deputy, and costs from from &c., 900 to
$4,000. Its five reports, taken together.
"are worth everything else ever published
Sin America on the labor question. They
''are storehouses of facts which can be
"found nowhere else The man who has
mot read them does not know the alpha
"bet of the question OF which they treat.
"They have attracted general attention,
..here and abroad. The Board, organized
sin the face of great opposition. and Bit
"terly attacked ever since, is now an es-
"tablished institution. Its work is inva!-
"uable and its cost is bagatelle.
"Is Massachusetts to stand alone in this
work? We need such Board in Illinois
ats reports will be of direct value to
"every farmer. every mechanic. every
Grandmother in the State and the county,
land of indirect value to everybody else
.'who takes the trouble to read them.
1.-THE legislature of Illinois could legislate
"more intelligently upon the phase of the
"labor question if it had before it the facts
..that only such Board can collect. The
SALARIES of the two members and the incl
"dental expenses will be a cheap price to
"pay for wisdom"
The above views Of the Tribune will be
endorsed by all who examine the reports re-
ferred to. The last report shows by its su
periority over the first the advantage of ex-
pericnce and steady support. With the
help of the town authorities, none of whom
are now now under any obligation to as
sist by the transmission of facts, a great
might be made in our report
at little additional expense. We trust the
work will be continued, cutting down
whatever is superfuous, and making the
report compact and close statistical
compilation of the facts relating to the in.
dustries and productions of our State.

Where lilies ever grow,
More humble flowers lift their heads,
In ceaseless tervent glow.

Like hasty clouds before the storm,
The nations ships appear;

To make their entry here.

Earthquake Shock.

PRESCOTT, June l6.-A little before
noon to-day fire was discovered issu-
ing out of the roof of Dan HATES inn
mense wooden building, little south
of the Miner office. The fire soon
leaped northward, and blazed forth on
the Miner office, which was only
saved by the most daring deeds of
Prescott's dauntless citizens. The
Miner says: "Our loss is considerable,
and it may be month before we are
able to issue a paper. 1t is through
the courtesy of the military authori-
ties that we are enabled to issue this
circular, as the old Miner Office
presses, type, etc.-is very mitch dam
aged and out of sorts.n
PRESCOTT, June l5.-Cachise's death
took place in the Dragon mountains.
After his death, the tribe killed and
ate his horse and burned all his
worldly goods. They then chose Ca
chise's oldest son for their chief and
broke camp and moved to the Agency.
The new chief is about twenty-five
years old, stout built and athletic,
without any appearance of possessing
superior ability.
