on the 9th, Mr.. Koiner introduced resolution
instructing the come on constitutional amend
ments to inquire into the expedency of so amen
ding the constitution as to provide for higher
qualification of senators and delegates as to age

One thing thai contributed largely to
the gratifying result this year, by which
the Republican majority was Increases. -9
nearly 10000, was the ability and untirii Z
industry displayed in the management OF
the campaign by Hon. Geo G Heberlng,
Chairman of the Republican State Central
Committee We know from our own per-
sonal knowledge, that no labor was spar
cd by Mr.. Hcberling, and nothing left I'M
done BY him that could be done to make
the Republican triumph as great as posi-
BILE. In order to avail himself of every
opportunity that would tend to this result,
be first of all left his home at Sabula,
at the sacrifice Of his own private BUSH
ness, and removed the headquarters
of the Craftsmanship to Mar5halliown,
which he considered more centrally locat-
ed than that Of any other city in Iowa.
Here he found himself surrounded by a
healthful political influence, -tle strong
est Republican county in the State-and
it was eminently proper that the cam
pagn should be directed from the banner
Republican county of Iowa. Mr.. Hcber-
ling deserves well at the hands of the Re-
publican party Of Iowa for having carried
through successfully SO able a campaign
and we are pleased to see the very fiatter
ing words of praise that are accorded him
by the Republican press. Mr. Heberiine
has made hosts of friends while here
who will now be reluctant to part witt
iienngs 81 regret Mr.. Heberlng takes
his headquarters back with him to Sabua
to-day, where he will be addressed here.

Third Term.

Just at this time the opposition Press
are very busy bowling about the aspira.
tions Of President Grant for the third
term. 1t seems now to be their stock in
trade. They quote from the speeches of
persons who they say are Republicans, to
establish the assertion that Grant is d
candidate for the third term. They rcru-
blish extracts from the Press ON the ques-
ton which seem to be in favor of it, and
because the President does not come out
in card and answer their charges, they
assert the truth Of them. If the execu-
tive of the United States would enter the
newspaper field in person in answer to
every silly supposition concerning him, he
would have no time to attend to the affairs
Of State. We do not believe that he is n
candidate for third term, nor do we be-
Neye that be ever was. We are not in
favor Of such casdidacy, and would not
be under any ordinary circumstances.
We can conceive Of no reason for our fav.
oring his reelection, and do not hesitate
to say 30. We are satisfied that the SEN
timent Of the great mass Of the Republi-
can party is with us, and that the idea Of
a third term or Grant is not entertained
By any respectable portion of-the party in
point of numbers. We are very well sat-
isfied with the precedent Of two terms
which was established by Washington and
Jefferson, and can see no good reason for
