BY WHOSE AurHO RErY.

A good deal of Importance has been
attached TO the third term utterance of
Secretary Robson in his recent speech
at Patterson, New Jersey. He is re-
ported to have said that "Grant had no
idea of a third-term, had never thought
of such thing, and regarded the dis
cussionof that matter as unworthy of no
tice." Mr.. Robson is a member of
Grants Cabinet, but upon what ground
did he make this announcement?
Did Grant authorize him to say
what he did. Something more than six
months ago the substance of a CONVEX.
satiou which Grant had then recently
ehad with an intimate acquaintance, was
given in the Washington dispatches to
the Cincinnati Commercial, wherein be
stated plainly and distinctly that he
had given the third-term subject con-
siderable attention, and thought that
he had not fully made up his mind
what course he would pursue; but he
added, "that if the newspapers and pol
iticians didn't let him alone he would
be tempted to make serious effort to
secure third term anyhow" The ut
terances of the Republican, the Admi.
nistration organ of Washington, IN
favor of the project, have, without
question, been directly inspired from
the White House by the President him.
self. Who then authorized Secretary
Robson to make the statement he did;
Does he speak for any body but him
self?

The Nelo York World says:

Our new contemporary, the
Republic, is a model of rus
tic simplicity and eandor. 1t
makes no foolish pretenses of public
spirit in It's devotion to the Southern
outrage" business, but frankly says
that this sort Of thing is indispensable
to make the people understand the
''need of Republican party and Re-
publican newspapers" This is pre-
cisely what Morton of Indiana thinks
when he contemplates the coming cleo
lions. But Morton puts his views into
private circulars sent to Republican
editors, because he is a crafty old sin
ner, while the innocent young Republic
audibly cries for what it wants on the
public streets.
Its correspondence and special tele-
grams from Tennessee bear indisputa-
bic evidence of having been prepared
in Washington or New York. The
blunders they contain could not be
committed by residents of this State.
Another feature of its correspondence
and special kilograms purporting to
come from Tennessee, is vindictive
misrepresentation of thepeople of this
State in the matter of outrages. 1t is
discreditable to the new organ of the
Administration that it has to go so ex-
tensively into the manufacture of out
RACES. A cause that can be sustained
only by such course is not worth sus-
tanning. Tennessee atleast had right
to expect better treatment from the
Republic, which is understood to be I'M
