The Next Presidency.

Next year the people of the United
States will again be called upon tc
elect President and Vice-President
for the term of four years from the
4th of March 1877. Consequently
the people of the nation are now talk.
ing about the matter and the various
political parties, rings, &c. &c, are
discussing the question whom they
shall nominate to fill these offices fol-
the ensuing term.
A very few Republican otiice-hold-
ers would like President Grant for the
third term. While the larger and
better part Of the party would like
another Presidential candidate. This
last named part of the Republicans
know and acknowledge that Grant
has used up the party and the ever
able and staid Boston Advertise. be-
seeches President Grant to say that
he will not be a candidate for third
term, and closes its argument as fol-
lows
"The country is now drifting into
dark andtroubled waters, and the hand
Of another pilot will be needed at the
helm"
One thing however is certain that
Grant can't be reelected and if the
Republican party-which has nearly
ruined the country both financially
and polltically--can succeed in elect
ing their candidate he must be a very
popular man indeed, and one who is
in no way connected with the swind.
lings, corruptions, and other destruc-
tive schemes that have been carried
out by that party in the national gov.
eminent for the past fifteen or sixteen
years. But we will not speculate
farther upon this point leaving the
Republicans to settle that matter to
suit themselves.
We will only add that we believe
that the Democratic party with good
platform Of principles and suitable
candidates for President can succeed
at the Presidential election in Novem.
Der 1876. And from all and every
kind of coalitions like that of Greeley
Il Brown, in 1872, we say in the Ian
guage of the Prayer-book-"Good
Lord deliver us" Give us candidates
that are strictly Democratic and IL
''platform' built upon the principles
of Washington, Jefferson, Jackson,
and such statesmen and we shall have
no trouble in electing them; nor re-
storing the country to peace and har-
mony, and to its wonted prosperity
and happiness. For these results let
us as Democrats labor with all the
zeal and strength that we can COM
mand.

Grant and the Washington Plu n
dCrerS.

Under recent act of Congress, a
new assessment of the real estate Of
the District of Columbia is now being
made, and the progress in that work
thus far makes some extraordinary,
but by no means unexpected revela-
tons. While Boss Shepherd and his
Ring held possession of the Govern
ment, they made it a more calling DIES
potism than any which exists in Rus
STA or Turkey, because vulgarity, igno-
rance, obstinacy, and jobbery were its
chief characteristics.
A part of their policy was to ac-
quire influence in Congress, by tempt
ing Senators and Representatives with
interests in real estate pools at low
prices, and then taxing them nominal
ly, so that they might be able to de-
fend an iniquitious system, which,
while it left them almost exempt from
any burden, threw the whole weight
on the community and the Treasury.
No fraud could have been more bare.
faced.
Gen. Grant is the owner Of a large
property, bounding on me of the
great circles Or open space at Wash
ington, which was improved by the
late Board of Public Works at the
public expense. Whether this estate
was a gift absolutely made by the
Ring, or acquired in the pool, is not
positively known. Butopinion strong
ly inclines to the former view, from
all the surrounding circumstances.
The adjoining and neighboring
property to that of the President was
all taxed at the rates Of $3.50 and one
81 per foot, according to the locality,
while his, which is the choicest in sit
uation and most valuable of any, was
only assessed at Is cents per foot !
This simple fact tells the whole story
of gross favoritism, corrupt abuse of
power, and reckless defiance of law
which marked the career of the Wash
ington Ring.
All the real estate of the pool, ofthe
Ring chiefs, of favored officials, mem,
bers of Congress and others who sup
ported the thieves, was scaled down
in the same way, SO that the great
load of exorbitant taxation fell upon
that portion of the community which
had already been plundered for spec
ial improvements and fraudulent meas
urements.
The President was and still is in
daily and intimate association with
this ring of robbers. Babcock, who
measured the work, is his confidential
secretary and Intermediary in business
operations. He nominated Shepherd,
after all the exposures of fraud and
jobbery, as the head of the present
Commission, and would do so again if
the Senate could be induced to con,
firm him. He is familiar with all the
transactions which have justly arous
ed indignation over the country, and
yet makes boon companions of rogues,
compared with whom Tweed is mod
ell of integrity and honor.
This Ring is the head centre of the
third-term movement and manages
the patronage to favor that scheme.
The Presidents message threatening
the overthrow of the Government in
Arkansas was the production of their
efforts mixed with considerable
quantity of whiskey and tobacco. And
they are a power in the Government
to day, standing behind the President
and pulling the wires by which he is
moved Boston Globe.
