NEWSPAPERS AND THE THIRD TERM.
New York Herald

Sunday Chronicle, formerly the property of ].
w. Forney and lately edited by his brother,
came out 10 day fiat-footed for Grant and the
third term. The paper after its desertion of
Republicanism affiliated with the liberal
movement until the latter died out 1t has
since been on the fence, with strong leaning
at times toward the Democracy. Its sudden
conversion to-day to the third term is regard
ed as more of the work of Zach Chandler and
Judge EdmundS in "organtZing victory for
the third term campaign. The old National
IntH'genceT has also reappeared in Washing
ton after several years of precariouS exist
ence in Sulky Democratic exile in Fairfax
county, Virginia, and has thrown the third
term flag to the breeze, TO The horror and dis
gust of all the dyed-in.the-wool Bourbons OF
Maryland, Virginia and the District of Column
bia. 1t is said that Zachi Chandler has bought
the paper also in the interest Of the third tenn
intrigue. Hardly any other explanation cam
account for such complete transformation
in the politics of the paper.
REPUBLICAN RE0RGANIZATION IN
VIRGINIA.
Prominent Republicans of Virginia are
now engaged in an effort TO reorganize and
strengthen the Republican party in that
State, by a combination of Republicans and
Independent Conservatives, who, in the late
first step in that direction, they are working
for the appointment of Judge Morgan, Re-
publican, IS postmaster, at Richmond, in the
place of Mss Van Lew, and for General
Heath, who served as Confederate general,
and who lately opposed General Bradley i.
johnson for the State senate, to be collector OF
internal revenue in that city. other changes
are contemplated by those who seem to be es-
pecially interested in this new political
movement. So far they have acted privately,
being engaged at present only with the pre-
liminary movement.
CANDIDATES.
The number of candidates for the elective
offices in the house of representatives, apart
from The speakership, is constantly increas-
ing. Already the Democratic members have
received printed circulars from these capdi-
dates, asking<pr their votes. Private parties
are also i'm porfuned for influence in their be-
half. Each candidate has numerous friends
seeking subordin ate appointments in office,
and hence there is much activity in working
for their respective candidates There are al
least four candidates for clerk of the house of
representatives from the south, and these
have numerous dependents. Some OF tiNe
their purpose directly it was aScertained that
the Democrats had secured q majority in the
house of representatives.
PREPARATIONS FOR THE ANNUAL
MESSAGE.
Some Of the reports of the different bureaus
have been printed and others are in the hands
of the printer. The report OF the postmaster
general has been completed and those OF
other he Sds of departments are in q state OF
forwardness. The President has not yet com.
menced writing his annual message.
ADDISON LOWE INDICATED.
Some weeks ago a number of charges were
made against Addison Lowe, supervising In
spector of steaH boats at New York, affecting
his ofnciai character. Mr.. Barnett, the super
Wis ng inspector-general of steam vessels,
promptly appointed a special agent to gather
all the facts in he case, and his report was re-
ferred to the solicitor OF the treasury. The ex-
animation by this officer has resulted in the
vindication of MIR. Lowe.
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST EXPLOSIONS
AND COLLISIONS OF STEAM VESSELS.
Official data show that there are about four
Thousand steam vessels in the United States,
coming under the law for the better protec-
ton of passengers in coats propelled in whole
mart bY steam, There average
three LICENSED officers to boat. Owing to
rigid examinations better classes of men are
the number OF explosions and collisions
has consequently very materially diminished.
THE FUTURE CALL FOR BONDS.
1t has been officially ascertained that addi-
tiOnRl calls by the treasury department for
the redemption Of old outstanding bonds de-
pend on the sale of new ones abroad.
REMOVALS IN THE INTERIOR DEPART
MENT.
The removals commenced by Secretary
Chandler last week in the department of the
interior will be resumed this week. There is
consequently much alarm among the clerks,
many of whom are apprehensive af removal
JEWELL VS.. SHEPHERD.
Cincinnati Enquirer.l
WASHINGTON, November l6.-There hes
been good deal of sensation in the last few
hours in the city, occasioned by reports that
Postmaster-General Jewell had been snubbed
by the President, and was about to resign.
the report and Mr.. Jewell himself declares
to-day that he has no purpose of resigning,
and that he mas had no intimation of the
Presidents desire for change. On the other
hand, ii is known that the postmaster general
was Over-rigid in respect to the Yicksburg
and Boston postoffices. His friends here say
that he will adhere TO the policy of filing
the onces with proper men, and will refuse
| TO let a bad man be forced upon him. 1t is also
known that cotelie here, of whom Governor
| Shepherd is shining light, are trying TO
| work Jewell out of the cabinet. 1t is not
| probable that in any event Mr.. Jewell will
| leave before the meeting of congress, and he
| may not go ont al all.
THE BANK NOTE COMPANIES,
who made so fierce fight last winter to have
! fsrmed out to them portion of the printing
| of the government notes and stamps, are now
lying low, pretending that they Will make nc

marshaliDe their forces for their raid on the
treasury. At present their operations are con,
fined to Furnishing prominent candidate fol

| The third-term project is TO be very earnestly

| THE GRANGER CASES COMING ON IN
JANUARY.
| New York Tribunel
| what are known as the granger cases viii
! not be considered in conference by the su
| pTeme court until after January list. In th'
| meantime, 1t is expected that another case
| which has recently come TO the court from
! Iowa, will be argued, and that all will be con
| sideIed together and decided together in court
! The differences between the cases is as Iol
| lows: The constitution Of Wisconsin has
| provision that all acts of Incorporation grant
| ed by the legislature may be repealed Of
| amended by the same authority, and ii Is ar
| gued by the grangers, that the Potter law Il
! such an amendment and therefore Is -slid
| In the Iowa and Minnesota Goes there is n,
such provision N the Constitution, and il i,
/ argued that an attempt TO amend the char
/ tiers Of railroads in those states, by axing tn,
| rates OF freight and transportation OF paSsen
| gers, is violation OF the constitution of tn
| lnlted states, since IL impairs the obligation
| OF contract b5tween the Stale and tine com
| psnies, and is therefore void.
