THIRD TERM.-There is large amount
of stupid trash published by the ad-
ministration journals on the third term
question, which is also said to express
the views OF the President. What
foundation there is for the latter asser-
ton, is of course difficult to tell--there
may be none, and yet possibly there
may. Leaving that part OF the question,
which can only to outsiders like us be q
mere matter Of conjecture, We can only
turn to the obvious phase with which the
matter presents itself to the general
public. Looking then on the question
in plain matter of fact point of view,
the absurd twaddle voided by the
papers referred to, is sickening to de-
gree. One of them (Harper's) says that
the third term is not a present issue
Others, that it would not be dignifet
and BETTING the high station Of tn
President to express his intentions il
this matter. Was ever such a parcel o
stun ever vented on pubic matter
Here is the President, the sworn servan
of the people, elected to the chief magis
tracy of the nation for the purpose o
carrying out its laws, and yet, on
question waich is becoming of absorbing
public interest, his funkeys say he can
not open his lips with propriety. Bah
1t is not that which keeps his tongu
silent; it is the hope that the Republican
party may be forced to renominate him
offering possible chance of re-elec
ton. 1t is that which prevents him from
making any declaration. When he find
that all hopes of further term in tn
White House are dispelled, then he will
be ready enough to renounce that whicl
he could not get.

THE THIRD TERM.
THE PRESIDENTS LETTER,

CINCINNATI, Oct. 31.-The Gazette
this morning has the following: In
1872, when it was found that Grant
would be renomirated, the report was
circulated that in view of the many
groundless reports as to his seeking the
nomination, be would decline to be a
candidate. So positive were the reports
upon this point that in May, 1872, we
wrote him private letter on the subject,
to which a reply was received. which we
are now permitted to print. This has
nothing directly to do with the third
term, but it shows how Grant felt with
reference to the first and second term,
and will serve to disabuse the minds OF
those, il any there be, who honestly be-
lieve that the President is capable of
scheming for nomination in 1876:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
Dear Sir:-Your favor of the 10th
inst, saying that the manages of the Ga
zette had decided to come out squarely
for my nomination at Philadelphia, June
9Th proximo, when they were met by the
report that l would either decline being
a candidate before the Convention, or
would decline after the nomination was
received, is at hand. Last night, after
leaving my office for the day, caused a
dispatch to be sent you to the effect that
the report was without any authority
whatever. am not in the habit of writ
ing letters on political subjects, and es-
pecially have l never written letter CAL
culated TO influence a convention as to
who should be the candidates before it
or selected by 1t; but your letter is of
such a nature as to properly demand an
answer, more particularly as you say
you will treat my response as strictly
Now I will say that never
proclaimed myself candidate either

VIRGINIA CITY.

Emulating at far off distance the
governing maxim OF the great American
journal. the New York Herald. We love
and desire to be at peace with all men,
especially our journalistic brethren. 1t
is a good rule and is worthy Of more ae-
ceptation than it generally receives.
Following out then the teachings OF this
guide, we delight to agree, if possible,
with our contemporaries, or II we dliier,
express the matter of our variance IN
kindly, though plain and straight Tor
ward terms. Now, among our exchanges,
is included the Sacramento Record,
paper which some folks say, is not pub
lished for the benefit of the people, but
for q railroad corporation. However
that may be; it is seldom that we have
the good fortune to be able to conscien-
tiously agree with our namesake OF Sac
ramento City. Lately, as we thought 1t
our duty to advocate the claims of Mr.
Sharon for the United States Senate, We
have had the pleasure OF agreeing Will
our contemporary of the City OF tn
plains, which took the same view. Thi
agreeable sensation is again repeated
for in its issue of the 3lst ult., the Sacra
mento Record gives very able, fair an
appropriate description Of Nevada and
principal town. Virginia. The RecoI
says, and very truly, that the inhabitan
of both the State at large and that pa
ticular city, are peculiarly sui generi
and adds some words of keen observ
ton and spontaneous complement whie
shows that our California confrere, whe
railroads do not appear in the question
can give an unbiased, appreciativ
opinion expressed in apt and lucid terms
As an example, we will;give the follow
ing short extract, being the conclusion G
the article we have referred to:
Nevada has always. despite the small
ness Of her population, more than bel
her own in retaining the attention of tt
world. She has sent some decidedly NJ
ticeable characters to Congress. b,
that was, so to speak, by accident; f
the genius of her people is essential
commercial, and noti political, ant
though they take hold of politics, as I
everything else, with characteristic vigo
there is as yet no inducement for b,
best men take to that business as pr
fession. We have said thus much I,
the reason that we are satisfied Nevat
would repay the student of sociology for
careful examination. There is no pla
in the world which approaches Virgin
City in character at this day. 1t is qui
as cosmopolitan as San Francisco in Il
days when ''the water came up to Mon
gomery street, but it is far more refine
and, as we think, intellectually and vita
ly stronger. And there is no ground f
apprehending that these characteristic
will speedily melt or fade into the con
mon image, for, though no acre outsie
the few small centers of activity in II
