THIRD TERM IN PENNSYLVANIA.

We are informed by telegraph that thu
Republicans Of Pennsylvania, in their recen
State Convention, took occasion to notify
their party friends throughout the country
that they are opposed to nominating GRAM
for third term. The declaration is thinly
disguised with laudation. They as much as
said to him: "General, you have been good
officer an excellent oficer-just as good a.
we want and as good as we have any hopes Of
ever getting again. But, General, we can moi
elect and will not nominate you again
The personal friends of Grant may COM
plain that the declaration comes inappro.
priately, and that the body which makes it is
exceeding the proper functions of State
Convention. They may say that the Repub-
licans Of Pennsylvania would have done better
by putting off the expression of opinion until
the President, through his friends, had indi-
Gated his wish and purpose to become can
didate for reelection. They may say that,
although it is widely asserted and believed
that he desires third term, his failure to
deny it is no evidence Of the truth of the as
sertion.
The declaration following that of other
State conventions fthe party will put an end
to all immediate and open advocacy of the
third term. Grant will not surrender, but he
will go on with his plans and get before the
nominating convention with all the strength
he can command. He has had many good
chances to declare that he is no candidate.
Those who are most in his presence and who
have his confidence, have not seen fit to make
any such statement.
It is probable that the President, and those
who are laboring to secure his nomination,
are waiting to see the result of the State cleo
tons in Ohio and Pennsylvania, in order
that they may form correct idea of the
spirit and temper of the party. If the Radi-
cal vote proves unusually strong, the Grant
party may still conclude that it can bear the
third term candidate, in which case the
declaration of the State Convention at Lam
caster will not stand in the way.
The serious question with Republicans at
this time relates to the best means of secur-
ing the continued existence of their party.
They are consequently attempting to get rid
of their embarrassments in every practicable
way. The we'll founded charge that the Office
holders, contractors and spectators Of the
Presidential ring are now, and have long
been, conspiring to pro!ong their tenure Of
Office by the reelection of Grant, has been
one of the weights which they have been
forced to carry. They viii find it no easy
matter to put Grant and his CONDUCTORS aside.

A HORRIBLE STORY.

The account which We publish on our nrst
page of negro man being buried alive IN .ne
Potter's Field on Wednesday last Dy the
driver of charity wagon, is beyond questlon
one of the most horrible stories ever put lnto
print, and if true, reveals phase OF humanity
that is sickening to contemplate 1t is impos-
sible to read the details of the affair without
a feeling of shuddering horror, and the
thought that in this entire community OF, In
deed. in the civilized world, there breathes
wretch so depraved, so brutalized, SO lost to
every sentiment of pity and humanity, IS to
maltreat in the most shocking manner poor
unfortunate being who had been, through
some unaccountable negligence, thrust into .
coffin before his time-doomed to the grave
before death had claimed him for his owns
at once revolving and humiliating.
The story is almost too awful for belief,
and we confess we did not attach any Gre
dsnce to it until representatives Of the BuLIE-
TIN had m ade careful investigation into the
facts and caused the arrest of the driver OF
the wagon-the human fend, who, if all the
allegations be sustained, is guilty of murder
in the first degree, and deserves fate more
horrible than any prescribed by the law. The
marvellous part Of the affair Is that though it
occurred on Wednesday evening last, and
was witnessed by numbers of persons, no
mention was made in police circles, except as
a vague and absurd rumor, SO improbable as
to be unworthy of investigation.
By common consent somehow the rumor
was regarded as a canard, or as the emanation
of some disordered brain, and it was not until
yesterday morning that anything like reliable
information was received at this Office sub
Stimulating the report. The police, it strikes
us, have been extremely remiss in this matter,
and Superintendent Loan should investigate
the reason for the silence of those members
of the force whose duty it was to have known
the facts and reported them to the Central
Station.
A few discharges might wake the patrolmen
in that section up to sense of what their
duties are. James Connors is the name of
the man arrested, charged with the crime of
having murdered the unfortunate negro, by
burying him alive, and with having bru'ally
be ,ten and maltreated him while in the coffin
and en- route to Potter's Field, and he now
awaits an investigation of the charges, which
ought to be made Immediately and with great
care

A LITTLE DORR-IT.

Dorr, the irrepressible humorist of the Pen.
sacola Gazette, gets off the following charac
teristic notice of his fellow-humorist, M.
Quad:
We have received, and will be glad to ex-
hibit free to our friends and his admirers, q
s'gilt-edged" photograph Of the man who
does the fun of the Detroit Free Press and
consequently gets advertised gratis, like a
bank robber, all over the world. We ascer-
tain that his name is c. B. Lewis, though his
literary pseudonym is Mr.. M. Quad
very curious nom de plume; and SO
is Mark Twain's but both were very
possibly derived from professions that they
were not competent to acquire one in the
line of printers devilism, and the other in
cub plotting. By putting on our spectacles
we remark that Mr.. Lewis looks tolerably
we'll for young man of his appearance, but
we reserve q more decisive opinion in his
case, as we do not know how he would look if
he shaved off-or had a barber to shave off
his moustache. This might, and, we think,
would, develop good lip, and lip goes a long
way. though it is small change in comparison
to cheek.
We observe that he has not much head be-
hind his ears, which are comparatively unde-
veloped, but great deal before them, and
this part of the head is called the forehead,
whether it is covered with bare shin OF
matched down to the eyebrows. As brains
are the inside of mans head, it does not
matter how the outside is arranged in the
way of ornament, for we have seen men, and
several other men, as bald as billiard
balls six inches above their eyebrows,
who could not find an idea when they
wanted it, in all that monumental pile of hair
less skull which imposed upon the confiding
public by conveying an erroneous impression
of intellect within. On the whole, Mr.. Lewis
is a very well looking person, and has sober
and moral appearance for a man of humor,
which appearance he evidently assumed when
he sat for his picture, feeling the response
bility of his situation and under the convic.
ton that he had been very wicked to be SO
funny, and that he really must look SO when
under fire by "Powelson. who draws a bead
with his Photographic artillery, at 223 Jeffer-
son Avenue, Detroit.

A COMPLAINT.

The attention of the Superintendent of
Streets is called to the following complaint:
Mr.. Eiuor-Please find out why the filth is
never removed from Felicity street, between
Magazine and the river. Twice within the
past six or eight weeks the malarial muck
from the cutters has been thrown up in un-
slightly piles, and then allowed to stand until
the rains washed it back into its old recepta-
Gle again.
Another nuisance to the good people of
this neighborhood is the fact that water never
passesI through the gutter on the upper side
Of the street save when it rains, while on the
opposite side there runs constantly stream
of fresh, pure water. Is it impossible that
the upper side can receive its share Of benefit
from the water plugs?

A sALUrARY LESSON.

! It has been now satisfactorily settled tina,
the Rev. W. E. Copeland, who SO lately was the
pastor of the Second Baptist Church of on,
city, is no more nor less than an unmihgated
villain.
We have devoted some care and labor tc
the task Of ascertaining his past history and
his general character, not merely for the pur-
pose OF satisfying the curiosity of our read.
s-s, but in the interest Of these who were
more deeply concerned.
| Now that the task is accomplished and the
result attained, the question arises whether, il
We have taken this trouble while in no special
manner connected with the church, it is not
somewhat strange that those in authority in
the parish SO lately presided over by him
should not have exercised at least equal pains
in ascertaining in advance the antecedents
and character of the man whom they intended
choosing to regulate the spiritual conduct OF
the members of their choice?
If suffering from any bodily ailment, we
need the services of q medical adviser we look
around us with great care ere We summon one
with whom we are to trust our physical health.
If we purpose sending child to school we
devote some time and study to the choice of
q preceptor qualified to direct the studies and
assume the charge of the intellect of our
youthful protege. If we are in need of an
assistant to aid us in the transaction of our
mercantile affairs, and to assume a certain
amount Of responsibility relative to the man
agement of our finances, we exercise great
caution ere we finally select one to fill the po-
sition.
Before engaging the merest laborer to at
tend to any portion ofour domestic or business
needs, we deem it meet and proper that we
should devote more than casual inquiry as
to his ability and integrity. How much
greater, then, should be the attention be-
slowed upon the selection of one who is to min
lister to our spiritual needs and welfare. How
earnest and persistent should be our inquiries
relative to the personal and spiritual charac
ter Of him, under whose guidance ourselves
and our families and our friends are to seek
for the true path which shall lead US to life
everlasting.
The relation between pastor and his flock
is of the most con6ding and tender character,
and in trusting for advice and aid upon SUBJ
jects which are of the most sacred and vital
interest, we should convince ourselves by
every means at our command of the fact that
he is an earnest, honest, lowly and reverential
follower OF the Prince of Peace.
This is subject which deserves much more
consideration than is ordinarily given it, and
we trust this Copeland affair may prove
salutary lesson to those whose duty it may be
hereafter to select pastors and spiritual guides.

A friend desires rs 10 warn the Rev. Mr..
Mathews of q hidden danger at the Academy
of Music. Just in the center Of the stage and
near the footliehts is an iron plate from which
we have many of Us seen the wonderful Ala
make his terrific leap to the dome of the
theater. Now we all enjoyed this perform
anoe, but it would hardly be pleasant to see
Mr.. Mathews when just in the midst of an
eloquent appeal suddenly shoot up from the
stage and land probably in the balcony circle.
Let the workings of this arrangement be
thoroughly investigated, or perhaps whilst
the congregation are being carried away by
tho well-known eloquence of the distinguished
divine, he may himself be sent away whirl-
ing into space. Such contretemps would
tend seriously to affect the sensitive natures
OF some Of the visitors and might result in
something more dangerous than funny. It is
we'll for the people to be elevated by the
minister, but he should stand firm in his
faith and beware Of man traps.
