VAS IT TIE THIRD TERM

The Casarian press, which has been so
busily alleging that General Grant not only
designed to force himself upon the people
or the Republican party as a candidate for
the Presidency another term, but that he
had the power to do so, will find some diff
ficulty in explaining to the country what
has so suddenly become Of all that very
dangerous power. VIII it insist that he
feared to use it to carry out the design
which they impaired to him, and chose
rather to see bis Tarty so weakened by
-saefeat in this "off year" as to greatly
reduce his alleged power in the future 7
This will not do. Neither will it answer
the purpose TO attribute the reverses of the
party to the discussion Of the ''third term"
principle. The few leading Republicans
whom it succeeded in drsgooning into
making declarations against the principle
notably Governor Dix and Hon. Ellis H.
Roberts-were quite as badly beaten as
those who remained silent, while upon the
other hand the Hon. Alex. H. Stephens,
who was boldly and unsparingly denounced
by this same press for declaring that he
could see nothing Objectionable in a third
term per &c, was reelected almost with
out opposition. The facts of which these
are illustrations fully demonstrate that the
''third-term discussion" had very little to
DO with the recent political oyerturning.
The causes of dissatisfaction as we have
foreshadowed can be found elsewhere. His
tory teaches us that financial revulsions in
this Republic which result in ''hard times"
have always been followed by political rev.
olutions. The Republican party had no
right to expect that it should escape such
sequel TO the panic of 1873. Perhaps if its
leaders in Congress had followed the recon-
mendations Of General Grant, by appropriate
ing money for internal improvements and
the prosecution of the public works, there
by giving employment to many thousands
Of laborers and encouraging manufacturers
by example to do the same, the dis
content which gave birth to the revolution
would not have arisen. We admonished
Republican leaders in the House at the
time, that paralysis of the industries of
the nation would inevitably produce dissat-
isfaction among the people. General But

WE PRINT communication this morn
ing regarding the controversy between the
Post Office Department and the Plimpton
Manufacturing Company which on its face
demands attention. We do not doubt that
the Department win be able TO explain in
most satisfactory manner the charges
against it, The very fact alleged in the
communication itself, that the cost of sup
plying the deficiency under the Plimpton
contract is $50 900 fora single month, leads
us to believe that Postmaster General
Jewell, in seeking TO encourage the lowest
bidder, has endeayored to serve the best
interests of the Government. As regards
the equities of the case, we have nothing
to say; but we feel assured that the result
will rebound to the credit of the present
management of the Department.

SENATOR LEWIS RISES TO Elk.
DTATH

FLdlH.
The following explicit denial from Sena-
tor Lewis, of Virginia, of charges made
against him regarding Mr.. Platt the regu-
lar nominee of the Republican party for
Congress in the Norfolk district, did not
reach us soon enough for publication be-
fore the election
LYNEwooD, October 81, 1874.
TO the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR In your issue Of the Goth inst. see an
allusion to myself, and as you seem inclined 10
do me justice have concluded CONTRARY to
my usual habit) to write q few lines to set
myself right before the readers Of your paper.
Some weeks ago whilst in attendance on
the agricultural fair at Stanton) my attention
was called to the fact that was charged with
having written letter to some one in the
Second district of Virginia in opposition to
Hon. James q. Plat. Being quite busily en-
gagged at the time l authorized Maj. Yost to
deny the charge, and, with the exception of an
unimportant matter, he did so, to Bly satisfac-
ton. l did not see the Tauey Virghaia, for
some time after the publication.
now say that / have never interfered to
prevent the election of any regularly nomi-
mated candidate of the Republican party, and
bind myselfto give one thousand dollars for
the production of genuine letter written by
me to any one, in the Second district or any
lcl,ere else, to defeat Mr.. Plat.
My Republicanism is too well established in
and out of Congress to make it necessary for
me to answer the ISLANDERS of the State Journal
or any other insignificant Httle sheet, or men
dacious Individual.
Yours truly, JOIN F. LEWIS.

for the loss of their slaves, and Of falling to
maintain inyiolate all the grand results of
the war for the Cnion. While they have
demanded internal improvements for the
development of the country at large, and
have sustained President Grant in his
recommendation of schemes for that OBJ
ject, the Republicans of the North have
belittled themselves and their party by I'M
seemly strife over custom-house spells, or
have allowed personal chickering's and pri-
waite prejudices to absorb their attention,
while the material interests Of the country
have been neglected, if not absolutely de-
stroyed.
