Third Term "More Popular aud Brill
iant."
From the Graphic.l

lFrOW INC Grapntc.1
The interest III the third term discussion does
not subside. The attempts to ridicule the subject
only ian 1t into iresher life. The papers discuss
the question because the people think about it,
IL interests the public, and this shows that 1t has
something more than a iactitous and ephemera
vitality. But in all the discussion on tho subject
thus far no one has asserted that President Grant
really desires reelection. He has shown his
good sense by declining even to intimate to his
friends that he wishes another term or would ac-
cept o nomination were iu thrust upon him. II he
wanted the office the fact would have be-
trayed Itself by some word or significant
token before this. On the other hand
1t Is well known that the President is
not cOvetons OF oflccs and honors. His appetite
for such things Is not v0racous and Is already ap.
peased. The Presidency Is not sinecure. Its
cares and perpAexities and restraints and respon-
sibllites are exceedingly wearing, and 1t Is well
known that General Grant tires OF them and has
expressed wish to escape out OF the burden and
blaze OF onice and publicity into the congenial
scenes and interests OF private life Another term
would add nothing to his honors OF which he has
already mad a surleit, but would protract labors
and vexatons of which he is tIred and from which
ne would gladly retire to attend to his private
afYars and enjoy the pleasures OF home and friendly
intercourse.
II IL well known that General Grant did not
seek the Presidency in the first place. The Presi-
dency sought him. His. election was not only
natural and proper, but inevitable. He was re-
nominated at Philadelphia two years ago because
he was really the only available man the party
could bring forward, and his acceptance of the
nomination seemed to be called for by public con-
siderations he was bound TO heed He is President
today by no act or solicitation Of his own. 1t is
enough to say respecting third term tnat he will
not be likely to seek 1t. especially so long as the
precedents OF our history are against It, He is
not rash lnnovator, and would be the last

RAILROAD

We have, heretofore, called attention to
the fact that the commissioners Of the
Montpelier and Rutland railroad company
are to meet at Rochester. on the 23d OF
June. for the purpose of opening books to
receive subscriptions to the capital stock OF
the company, but we cannot suffer this no.
tice to pass without adding word or two
thereto. This proposed line Of RAILROAD, if
built. will connect Rutland and Montpelier
by direct route and open up rich lum-
Der and agricultural portion Of the state
which is now almost inaccessible. 1t is
for the interest Of Rutland, more than any
other town, to have the road constructed.
our citizens have reapcd the rich harycsts
which othcrrairoads have brought to them.
and appreciate the benefits gained thereby
too much, to need repetition Of the great
advantages which we owe to this source
alone We need but to contrast, in or
minds eye, the Rutland Of 1874 and The
Rutland of thirty years ago to bring this all
before us in light more vivid than words
could make it. We need but ask
ourselves the question, where would
have been the wealth ald business
of Rutland but for the railroads
centering here? We need not contrast
Rutland and Woodstock. But, in fact, We
need no contrasts, no arguments, because
every one knows and appreciates tie I'M
mensc wealth which the railroads have
poured in our laps; and half the wealth
of the town would be freely given rather
than see us placed back in the position OF
1874. The building Of this proposed roat
would make Rutland the business and Pc
litical center of the state and this alon'
ought TO ensure hearty pecuniaiy supper
of the project on the pat Of our towns
men. The additional wealth, prospert.
and growth that would accrue to Rutland
almost Immediately after the completion
thereof, is simply incalculable. The roat
will be built at some time The sooner
is taken hold Of the better will it be 10
Rutland and the towns through which i
passes. If a hearty determination is shown
by the several towns interested to contrib
ute according to their ability, other capita
will be forthcoming to make it success
Once show that we are determined that tn
road shall be built, and other railroads WI
be found competing for the opportunity o
completing it and securing its business
Let there, then, be some spirit shown in tn
matter, and we shall soon see new lii
making itself manifest in all of our bus
ness enterprises.
