THIRD TERM TALK.

Iuca IN 4 J OOstfNeT.
Edwards Pierrepont, at the close of
a long conversation with a casual ac-
quaintance, remarked lately, 81 may
not see you again before the next Pres.
idential election. wish, therefore,
that you would mark this prediction.
Grant will not only berenominated and
reelected in 1876, but he will get the
support of the Southern Democrats.
Mr.. Pierrepont met all criticisms on
the Presidents course by an answer
comprehensive, if not satisfactory. He
said, Grant represents the average
morality and intelligence of the coun-
try" None but fool attempts to pre-
dict the political future. But we may
reasonably assume that Mr.. Pierrepont
is not hazarding any guesses, but is
simply revealing the programme of the
Administration. In attempting to tell
what viii be he is really telling what
Grant wants. He advertises the de-
sings Of the President under cover Of a
prediction. He speaks as one having
authority and not as the scribes who
edit the organs.
Chicago Tribune.
The capitalist class is much enamored
Of President Grant just now by reason
of his veto of the imitation bill, and
much alarmed at the strength and
clamor of those who are demanding
more currency" President Grant
has, during his six years Of Office, per-
mitted, sanctioned, and participated in
more demoralizing and dangerous acts
than all his predecessors combined.
Nevertheless, having done one good
thing at critical time, the class most
likely to hold him to account for form
er transgressions have suddenly become
the ones most likely to give him an
active or silent support for third term
as an alternative to something worse
which they apprehend-

LET Us STAND As ONE MAN.


We are satisfied that a persistent eff
fort is being made by certain parties In
this county to develop some interest
and sympathy for the cause of
the late Colyar gathering in Nash
vile. They have not had very graft
flying success so far, and we believe
they will meet with less in the future.
The people, in our opinion, are deter
mined to have no more division on per-
sons or incidental questions, and this
is sensible. Let all honest and night
thinking lovers of true freedom come
together, resolving to ignore little par,
ty questions of difference, and to stand
as one man for the faith of the fathers.

WHEN Hon. John f. House touched
upon that fatal feud Of 1872, in his
speech before the State Democratic
Convention, the bronzed veteran of
Coffee county wept. We saw him
standing in the centre aisle, and tear

he listened to that brief but eloquent
tribute from one who had followed his
fortunes through the most eventful
campaign in Tennessee's history. We
are all of the same faith now, and it is
no harm t0 say that tenderer heart
never beat than that which warns the

ST. Paul. MINI, Aug. PA telegram
from Bismarck conveys a dispatch from a
special correspondent of the Daily Press
With Custar's expedition rs follows:
BEARS BUTTE, Aug. l5.-Custar's COM
mand reached here yesterday in good health
and spirits. We left Custar Valley on the
9Th. We had short marches and good
camps. Gold and silver We're found in Sc
veral places in quantities. Game was in
abundance, bear, elk and deer. Several
bears have been killed. Gen. Custar and
Col. Ludlow killed the first. The COM
mand leaves here TO morrow for the Little
Missouri. From there We 60 home to
Lincoln.
Another dispatch SAYS the expedition has
completed the exploration of the Black
Hills, which prove even richer than was
before reported. Gold and silver Is found
in numerous places and in quantities so
great that with pick and pan a single miner
NAV take one hundred dollars per day.
The distance from Bismarck to the gold
regions is about 250 miles, over prac-
ticable route.
The citizens Of Bismarck are greatly ex-
cited, and already expeditions are organ
izing.
Gen. Custar's Report.
ST. PAUL, MINI, Aug. 22.-The report
of Gen. Custar TO the department COM
Iuander, dated Bear Butte, Black Hills,
Aug. ID. was received this morning at Gen.
TerTy's headquarters. After detailing his
operations and explorations and the finding
in one direction Of an impossible barrier,
which was finally circumyented, the Gen
eral saws:
From the fact that in all our principal
marches through the Black Hills we have
taken. without serious obstacle, a heavily
laden train of over one hundred wagons, il
may be inferred that the Black Hills do not
constitute the impenetTable region hereto
fore repgesauted. Entering the Black Hills
from any direction. the most serioIs, if not
only, obstacles are encountered at once near
the outer base This probably accounts for
The mystery which has SO long existed re-
garding the character of the interior.
referred, in a former dispatch, 10 the
discovery of the gold. Subsequent eXami-
nations at numerous points confirm and
strengthen the fact Of the existence OF gold
in ,be BIack Hills. On some Of the water
courses almost every painful OF earth pro
3nced gold in small vet paying quantities.
III miners report they found gold among
gbe zo6xs of the grass, and from that point

Stubbs and other sources, that the Usage
tribe Of Indians have at a general council

MONTGOMERY, ALA, Aug. 22.-TheRe
publican Convention has re-nominated
White and Sheets for COngreSSmen at
large. Eight counties are entirely rep
resented by proxies. The convention adj
iourned to-day after a three days session.
The resolutions declare unshaken conf
dence and unalterable devotion To the great
principles of human liberty, viz: the civil
and political equality Of all men, without
distinction of race or color. We have new
er claimed nor desired, and do not now,
the social equality of the different races, or
Of individuals of the same race, and We re-
iect the issue Of race against race
rendered ty the Democratic party, and
which If persisted in by that party will
plunge ia again into war with the govern
menL Of the United States. We neither
desire nor seek the invasion of the rights Of
the white people by the colored, but only
ask equal advantages in matters of public
and common right. The Republican party
does not desire or seek mixed schools or
mixed accommodations for colored people,
and want no special equality enforced by
Law. We recognize the fact that every
house be sacred from intrusion, and that
in a free country every one CT dictate for
himself.

THE basis of representation IN the
recent State Convention was the vote
for Gov. Brown in 1872. All the coun.
ties were entitled to 1,049 votes, Of
which those absent represented only
l0l. In other words over nine-tenths
of the voters were directly represented
in the Convention. We tried to say
this yesterday, but the printer vetoed it.

TO me in this wise:
When Ti'ton showed me his DIR. Bacon'S

ed against its publication; and said to him
in substance that, while | a1mitsed the
wrong and injustice OfDr. Bacon's C. arges,
he (Mr. I had lived by the magnanimity
of Beecher, and that he was a dog and a
knaYe. When / believed he had acted a
proper and manly part in endeayOTing to
shield his family, yet that It's publication
would so stir the public mind that an in
vestigatiOn would be forced upon him and
Beecher in some manner, which | could

all probability have to come out, or SO much
of il that Mrs. TiitOn and Beecher would
be dishonored and destroyed, and he him
self be subjected to the severest criticism.
Notwithstanding my advice, he was SO
wTOueh. up with the continued assaults
upon him by friends of Beccher that be
determined on The publication of the
letter.
The only modification that was able to
get of the Bacon letter was this: Ii origi-
