In view of these considerations we are
satisfied that the only way is for the few

vocating third term, says to-day
"The Presidency, during another term, would
have few attractions for General Grant 1t would
confer on hun no further or higher honor.
There is no reason, therefore, to suppose he de-
sires it. On the contrary, his natural tastes and
inclinations are known to be in direction Of do
nestle qnietude. These facts would make him
appear ridiculous should he come out with a
pronunciamento declining nomination in adj

ter of interest to study the census of mich
cows in the various States of the Union,
and the cost of keeping them and the profits
or losses upon such stock. To show the
difference in the matter Of profits, it may be
well to state that while Vermont has $780,
2S5 mich COWS and Florida only 81, 922, yet
those in Vermont produce, on the average,
ninety-nine times the profit that is realized
from the Florida COW. So much for means
of transportation and market.
From the foregoing illustration may be
deduced something Of the effect of con-
venience and celebrity of transit upon the
value of all sorts of farm products. For
instance, many fortune could be realized
by agriculturists in the vicinity of two
hundred miles radius of Washington and
Baltimore by the production of fruits,
vegetables, poultry, eggs, milk and butter,
at about one half the present rates if COM
mon carriers would offer the proper induce
ments of rapid transit at low fares and
freights. A good farmer can make better
profit on hay at $40 per ton than can be
realized upon the best crop of corn or cot
ton in the West or South. Indeed, there
is scarcely any section of the country in
which the labors of the agriculturist meet
more prompt and adequate reward than
the one which supplies the markets above
alluded to if those labors are only judi
ciously applied. There are at least one
thousand colored men in this District who
could clear from one to two thousand dol
lars yearly by renting a small patch of
ground in the adjacent country for the
raising of poultry, eggs and melons.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1874-09-07

THE movement of the Republicans of the
Second Congressional district of Ohio to nomi-
nate the Hon. R. NJ. Corwine as their candi-
date seems, from all we can learn and from
the newspapers of Cincinnati, to be heartily
approved. Judge Corwine has superior quail
fications and could not fail to make a worthy
member. His well-known ability as a lawyer
is no less effective on the stump. For many
years he was one of the leaders of the bar and
of his party in that State; vas United States
district attorney for the Southern district of
Ohio, having been appointed by Mr.. Lincoln;
was a Presidential elector on the Republican
ticket in 1856 and member from the Second
district to the first convention that nominated
Mr.. Lincoln. In the Presidential election that
followed he rendered efficient aid on the stump
and in the councils of the party. For some
years he has been practicing law in Washing
ton, where he has large and remunerative
practice in the Supreme Court of the United
States, in the Court of Claims and before the
international courts organized here. He is
now absent with his family at Lake George,
and we do not know his views on the subject.
If he could be induced to accept the nomina-
ton it would be at the expense of losing much
of his business, but it would be decidedly the
gain of the public. Such men as Judge Cor
wine are needed in Congress and nothing
proper should be neglected to secure his ser
vices. The country would be benefited by his
election and the people of Cincinnati would be
especially. fortunate in having Representative
who would command the respect of all with
whom the local business in Congress and in
Washington might bring him in contact. At
the same time the public at large would have
in him an able and influential member. We
join with all who know Judge Corwine in the
