PUBLIC OPINION:

If a third term would save us from
"civil rights" and dragonades, and leave Us
the substance Of self.goverhmeht, it would
bring no terrors with it 10 us. We have no
time now for sentimental politics and im-
aginary blessings. gs.-R,chmond Mig
That Grant will be able to obtain nomi-
nation by his party for a third term, if be-
makes up bis mind thereto, We have littIS
doubt. In the first place public sentiment
in the Republican party is not concentrated
on any other candidate. lii the second and
altogether more important place, he holds
the tremendous lever Of the Federal patron
age Syracuse Courier.
Our national politics never stood III such
peril af being captured in all quarters by a
compact ring Of coruptiohists. What the
people need and must have at washington is
a body of sturdy, inhexibly honest mem;

matter who is hurt by it, and with the
shrewdness to watch aud outwit the Tteas-

PRESIDENT AND THE SOUTH.

The President remarked passionately,
when the situation of affairs in Louisiana
was brought to his notice, "that he had done
everything in his power to assist the South
especially Louisiana" The New York Tt-i-
bune replies:
He has given it Spencer, Moses. Brooks.
Baxter, Kellogg, Durell, Casey, Patterson,
Packard, Pincbback and Poker Jim. He
has filed it's Legislatures With thieves, ad-
venturers. BARRIERS, b6ottiacke. bar-tenders
and confidence men. He has put up it,. of
6cesto the highest bidder, con6scsted its
lands, impaired the value Of it's real property
generally. ruined its credit and brought its
business to such pass that in some Of the
richest regions Of the South nothing can be
bought and sold except votes. The high
ways are secured by gangs of masked ma
rauders. The brush is filed witha rmed ne
groes in ambush South Carolina ant
Louisiana are relapsing into barbatism, and
nine years after the close of the War the
South is not yet at peace.
Everything in bis power to assist the
Souih-especially Louisiana. He has ta-
ken away from Louisiana the right Of choos-
ing its own officers, and sent his soldiers
down there to put into power the persons
whom he deems most fit to rule. He has
sustained them while they have plundered
the State and overturned even the semblance
Of popular government, and for all the wrongs
and sore distress which have attracted for
Louisiana the commiseration of mankind, his
only remedy is ''more troops" And un-
grateful Louisiana, after all this kindness,
will not be quiet. "Tbe attention, Sir, F"
said Mr. Squeers, "that was bestowed upon
that boy in his ilness-dry toast and warm
tea offered him every night and morning.
when lie couldn't swallow anytling-a can
die in his bedroom ON the very night he
died-the best dictionary sent up for him to
lay his head upon-I don't regret it though.
1t is pleasant thing to reflect that one did
ones duty by him"
But it is no time now to change his policy
He cannot help sustaining the administration
which he set up in Louisiana and he must
overthrow the new machinery which Lieu
tenant Governor Penn is so rapidly putting
in motion, and bring back the old set.
How much confusion and trouble will result
from the double revolution and the conflict
ing orders Of rival courts. our dispatches
every morning may enable us to estimate.
1t will be fortunate for Louisiana if the re-
storation Of the oppressors is accomplished
without further waste of life and damage to
her good name.
