Il is possible that circumstances might De
such. az for instance at the time OF the re.
election Of Abraham Lincoln, which
would justify the candidacy OF fres'-

not believe it. But anything fer effect.

TON Chroaicle which is recognized as the
paper, if any, which has the ear OF the
President.
"For many months the Democratic or
CANS Of the country, as though destitute
Of other grounds of attack upon the pre-.
sent national administration, aided by
such liberal journals as the New York
Tribune and their professedly tndspen-
dent tenders like the Capital, have been
laboring to impress upon the country the
idea that President Grant is candidate
for a third term. and much has been SAID
in this connection about Cnsarlsm ana

But this talk, so long as it was confined
to the Opposition press, has been regarded
bv the people as all bosh, and SO far has
made no impression upon the public
mind. When it is remembered that the
Presidents most intimate friends, such as
Secretary Robson, Pierpoint Edwards,
and others-men who are supposed to be
acquainted with the Presidents wishes
and aspirations-have declared publicly
that he has no desire to be candidate fol
reelection, and that up to this time no re-
cognized organs of the Republican party
has advocated his denomination by thai
party. one would think that It is about
time that this clamor should cease. This
hue and cry was doubtless gotten up tc
affect the fall elections. and SO far as i
has influenced the elections in the West
ern States has probably served the pur
pose for which it was designed, and i
might now be reasonably expected tina
the subject would be dropped, as othe
/ fabrications have been used and dropped
after they have been employed to misleat
and affect public opinion"

A CENrENNIAL.-The Patapsco Flour Mill
witnesses the one hundredth year of its expe-
rience, having been erected on its present site
by Andrew Ellicott in the year 1774, two years
before the first Independence Day. How the
Messrs. McGill propose to celebrate the occa-
sion, we have not heard.
The mill has received from Howard county
since last harvest about one hundred and TWEEN
ty thousand bushels of wheat, being the largest
crop raised in this county for ten years. A
large quantity it is said, is yet held in reserve,
which, when delivered, will probably increase
the amount to one hundred and fifty thousand
bushels.-EgHcott City Times.
