WIT AND MUsIc.-Rey. j. c. Hiden's lee
ture at the Second Baptist church last night
for the benefit of the Young Mems Mission
ary Society was heard by fine audience, and
sparkled with wit and humor and was re-
plete with interesting information and prac-
tical instruction. The novelty of bis title
"The Cosmopolitan Bug was not eX-
ceeded by the richness OF his descriptions
and the freshness of his ideas. The enter
tainment was greatly enlvened by the
music, but vocal and instrumental being OF
the best sort, rejecting credit upon all who
took part and giving unqualified pleasure TO
all present.

Editors Of Richmond Dispatch
You will do me the favor to make the cor
rectien in your report of the speech of Hon.
j. Amber Smith on last evening, in which
you state that Mr.. Burgess told me he was
in favor of the civil-rights bill "To GET MY
VOTE" Mr.. Smith did not use the words
"To GET NY VOTE" and Mr.. Burgess could
not well have had any such motive at that
time, or any other. He knows too well that
am opposed to the ivil-rights bill, and
would not vote for any man that favors it.
Respectfully, &c,
WILLIAM FLRGENHEIaER.
I did not say that Burgess told Flegen.
heimer he was for the ciyil.rights bill for the
purpose of getting his F.'s) vote. Mr.. F.
is and has always been opposed to the bill.

THE REPUBLICAN PROSPECT MORE GHEER1No-THE
AscENpENCY IN THE HOUSE BELIEVED TO BE Az
sunED.
Especial Despatch to the N Y. Times
WASHINGTON Oct. so.
The recent political news from all parts of the
country is much moro hopeful than week ago.
Republicans who were doubtful Of retaining
majority in the next House of Representatives
are now quite confident, though the contest
is still felt to be close. A prominent and active
politician in Pennsylvania writes that his infor-
nation, of private and coniden-
tial character, covering almost every
town in the State, shows an excellent Republic
can prospect and that nothing short of poiiti-
cal earthquake can take the State away from the
Republicans. The same person expresses the
opinion that the Republican loss of members of
Congress will not be more than three. Repub-
leans here have been expecting n loss of at
least six or eight Congressman in that State,
in districts which, at best, are very close and
uncertain.

'rhe Third Term.

SIGNIFICANT LETTER FROM GEN. GRANT 1T
SHOWS THAT HE Is NOT LIKELY TO PLOT FOR A
THIRD TERM.
WAsHINoToN, Oct. 81.
1t is believed here that the letter written two
years ago by the President, and published this
morning in the Cincinnati Gazette, expresses the
Presidents views regarding the third term.
FULL TEXT OF THE LETTER.
CINoINATI, Oct. 81.
The Gazette, to-day states that it has obtained
permission to print the following private letter,
written by President Grant in 1872. 1t has
nothing to do with the third term but it shows
how Grant felt with reference to the first and
second terms, and will serve to disabuse the
minds of those, il any there be, who honestly
believe that the President is capable of schem-
ing for nomination in 1876.
EXECUTIVE MANSION
WAsuINGToN, ID. c., May III. 1872.
DEAR SIR. Your favor of the 10th inst, say
ing that the managers of the Gazehe had decid-
ed to come out squarely for my nomination at
Philadelphia on June 8 proX., when they were
met by the report that l would either decline
being a candidate before the convention, or
would decline after nomination. was received
last night after leaving my Office for the day.
l caused n dispatch to be sent to you TO the ef-
feet that the report was without any authority
whatever. am not in the habit of writing letters
on political subjects, and especially have Inever
written letter calculated to influence con-
yention as to who should be candidates before
it or selected byit. But your letter is OF such a
nature as to properly demand an answer,
more particularly you say you will treat my re-
sponses az strictly confidential Now will say
that never proclaimed myself candidate either
before the convention which meets in Phadel-
phia this year, nor the convention which was held
vt Chicago four years ago have never written q
line, done an act, nor, believe, can say with
truth, entertained thought calculated to pro.
duce action by the Republican Party in favor OF
my promotion over that of any other man in il
who might be their choice. 1 do now, as l die
four years ago. sincerely believe that the interests
