Third Term.

The matter of electing Gen. Grant
for a third term is awakening a good
deal of discussion. 1t is said that
leading politicians of the South are
preparing for a combination to force
the nomination of President Grant
upon either the Republican or Dem
ocratic parties, for a third term.
1t is not known that this third
term movement receives any counte-
nance from the President, but some
regard his altered position toward
the South as very significant. The
South says it is important to them
that they have a reliable friend in
the Presidential chair, and that Pres
ident Grant is that friend. A Vir-
ginia newspaper correspondent says
this project @has assumed a distinct
form" This being the case, Gen.
Grant will soon give decisive proof
that he will not entertain the idea OF
a third term; or he may be consider
ed as giving countenance to the plan.
There are probably many people
North and South, who would be will
ing to give Gen. Grant third term,
or even more, but as yet the number
of such must be very small.
The general sentiment of the coun-
try, we believe, is in accord with the
views of Senator Anthony, of Rhode
Island, who says:
mo party would nominate a Pres
ident for third term, unless the cir
cumstances of the country were such
as to make the step absolutely i'm
perative, and even then it would be
very perilous proceeding, so strong
ly are the minds of the people set
against it. At the present time there
is no reason whatever for doing it,
even if it were ever so much sought
for by the President, instead of not
being sought at all. The precedents
of nearly ninety-nine years have es-
tablished two terms as all for which
any President can be elected, and
there is no danger that these prece
dents will be set aside.

The opponents of Gen. Garfield are
flooding the District with sheet
headed, General Garfeld's Record. :"
1t is simply a re-hash of their old
and late charges against him, with a
garbled review Of his general course
IN Congress-, his financial views, &c.
Taken together it reminds one of
the old witches cauldron couplet-
Double, double, toll and trouble,
Fire burn, and Cauldron bubble"
This sheet is furnished to whomso-
ever will use it, and especially to
pretended neutral newspapers as sup
plements, in which latter shape it
will doubtless be presented to a limit
ed number of the voters of this coun-
y the present week. The time for
enls electioneering has gone by. The

Temperance and the New COnstitu
ttOns

| - e-A~- S--S WV OOAA6eAsO-
ttOn.
Under this heading J. M. Estep,
Esq, writes the following to the
Cadiz Sentinel, which we copy,
thinking it may impart some in
formation on points connected with
the New Constitution not clearly
comprehended by some of our rea-
ders:
Ilearn that some temperance men
who claim to be in favor of restrain
ing and prohibiting the liquor traf-
fc are proposing to vote, not only
against License, but also against the
new Constitution.
If so, they will defeat the object
they profess to have in view; for
neither the clause "For License" nor
"Against License" can take effect
unless the new Constitution is adOp-
ted.
The matter would be left just as
in the present Constitution, which
as our Courts have uniformly held,
only allows the Legislature "to pro-
vide against the evils" but not ''to
prohibit or destroy the traffic.
This will be readily seen by put
ting the two clauses before you.
The clause in our present Consti-
tuition is in these words:
No license to traffic in intoxicating
liquors shall hereafter be granted in
this State; but the General Assem-
bly, may by law provide against the
evils resulting therefrom."
The clause against License in the
new Constitution is in these words:
''No License to traffic in intoxica-
ting liquors shall be granted; but
the General Assembly may, by law,
restrain or prohi6it S1tch traffic, or
provide agains5 the evils resulting
therefrom."
The temperance men in the Con-
vention, succeeded in putting into
the clause against License" this
affirmative power "to restrain or pro-
hi6t such traffic." This power is
new, and is not in the present Con-
stitution, and of course, if the new
Constitution is voted down that
power goes down with>it.
In short, it is plain that neither
those who favor License, nor those
who favor prohibition, can accom-
plish their professed ends unless the
new Constitution is adopted.
The vote for the clause against
License and in favor of restriction
and prohibition" and then to vote
against the new Constitution, would
be about equal in wisdom, to a vote
for favorite candidate, put in the
postof5ce instead of the bdIyot-6o1
Those who are ''For License" "
will of course, vote for the new Con-
stisution. They will be as wise Gas
serpents." And those who vote for
the clause against License" and
also vote against the Constitution,
will be Gas harmless as doves"

THE VIRTUES OF ICE.-I have used
it quite extensively in the treatment
of tetanus four times in this city.
In one case in particular, in which /
was in consultation with DR.. Lewis
Smith, the ice was kept at the spinal
cord during the whole course of the
disease, and the patient got well.-
Another case, induced by a wound,
likewise in this city, in the person
of an eminent physician, 1 treated
i'm the same way--with ice-and he
recovered. And / am inclined to
think that in ice we have another
effectual means of curing hydropho-
bia. which l would feel disposed to
rely upon; but l should say galvan-
ism more than anything else. AS
regards the administration of inter
remec lies / have nothing to say.
Those cases in which they are re-
ported as being successfully used
rely upon it, are not authentic cases
of hydr >phobia.

News from seat OF scaHudI' oH
Tuesday, show new phase, and one
that will be likely to bring out the
bearings of the case more truly than
the exparte movement of Mr.. Beech
er. As Tilton wished, the courts
viii now have cognizance of the af-
fair, though the Beecher commit
tee may go on to the finale for ae-
quitting their friend as is generally
expected. Tilton has been arrested
on the charge of libel against Hen
ry Ward Beecher and will be tried
before court of justice, where he
will be required to substantiate all
his charges or suffer the penalty of
the law.
Z The arrest was made at the in
stanceof VIM. D. Gaynor, of the
Brooklyn Argus, paper which has
espoused Mr.. Tilton's cause, and it
fair to presume that the latter gen
tleman is the instigator of the move
ment, and he has repeatedly ex-
pressed desire and willingness that
the case should be thus disposed of.
Whatever the facts may be, this dis
position of the case will give salts
faction to the public generally,
which is growing weary and DISCUS
ted with the manner in which the
investigation by the church commit
tee is conducted. But very little had
been hoped from this er-parte COM
mittee from the first. 1t was COM
posed to begin with of Mr.. Beecher's
personal friends; it received on the
one hand only Mr.. Tilton's sworn
statement, and as an offset to it on
the other, the simple verbal denial
of one of the accused parties. To
add to the difficulty the most i'm
portant documentary evidence
could not be obtained from parties
who refused to produce it without
legal requisition, which the commit
tee could not make; and Moulton
and other witnesses had positively
refused to testify except on compul-
sion. Public interest will be turne d
to the legal investigation before the
courts.

How Mules Came into Fashion.

Few of the farmers of this country are
aware what depth of gratitude they owe
George Washington for the introduction
of mules into general use for farm purposes.
Previous to 1888, there were very few
and those of such an inferior order as to
prejudice farmers against them as unfit to
| compete with horses in work upon the
road or farm. Consequently there were no
jacks, and no disposition to increase the
stock; but Washington became convinced
that the Introduction of mules generally
among Southern planters would prove to
them great blessing, as they were less
liable to disease, and longer lived, and
work upon shorter feed. and much less liza
BILE to be injured than horses by careles S
driving.
AS soon as it became known abroad that
the illustrious Washington desired to stock
his Mount Vernon estate with mules, the
King of Spain sent him a jack and two
jennets, from the Royal stables, and La
tayette sent another jack and two jennets
from the Island of Malta.
The. first was of gray color, Is hands
high, heavily made and of sluggish nature.
He was named the Royal Gift. The other
was called the Knight of Malta he was
about as high-lithe, fiery even to feroeity.
The two different sets of animals gave
him the most favorable opportunity of
making improvements by cross-breeding
the result Of which was the favorite jack,
Compound, because he partook of the best
points in both the originals. The General
bred his blooded mares to jacks, even tax
ing those from his family coach for that
purpose, and produced such superb mules
that the country was all a cog to breed of
the Sort and they soon became quite COM
mon. This was the origin of improved
mules in the United States. There are
now some Of the third and fourth genera
ton of Malta and Royal Gift to be found
in Virginia, and the great benefits arising
from their introduction to the country are
to be seen upon every cultivated acre of
the Southern States.

THE LOOM OF LIFE.
BY EBEN E. REXFoRD.

BY EBEN e. REXFORD.
All day, all night, can hear the jar
OF the loom of life, near and far,
1t thrills with its deep and mu11ed sound
As its tireless wheels go round and round.
With hands as busy as hands can De,
Time the sceptre of mystery,
Sits at his loom with his warp outspread,
To catch in its meshes each glancing thread.
Swiftly the shuttle flies out and in,
I see it carry the thread OF sin,
And grief and error, wrong and care,
The wool shuts down and holds them there.
Through the busy day and the midnight gloom,
Busily, ceaselessly goes the loom; -
The shuttle flies and the wheels turn fast,
The wool is wound in the web Of the past
When will this wonderful web be done,
That was thousands OF years ago begun?
When will the wheels of the loom be still,
And the weaver rest, as he some day will
Here is a thread of love wove in,
Here is another of wrong and sin,
Grief and error, wrong and care,
The wool shuts down and holds them there.
O phantom weaver the years are slow,
But each is nearer the end, | know,
What a checkered thing will our eyes behold,
When thy toll is done and thy work unrolled
