The Press ON the Third Term Letter.
NEW YORK, Moy 31-The New York Times
SAYS of the Presidents declining the third
term, that it does seem that the letter ought to
be accepted by all just and fairminded men as
absolutely putting an end to the whole ques-
ton 1t is manly, straightforward letter,
such as the President OF this Republic need not
be ashamed to address to the Amerlcanipeople.
He reminds them of the dignity OF his ONCE,
which some of them are apt to forget. 1t says
enough for all practical pun poses and it says it
in language which is at least Ineligible w hat
ever the Democrats may say about 1t, 1T is the
duty of Republicans to treat it in good faith,
and to preface the work of 1876 without refer
ence TO even the possibility of Gen. Grant
being in the field as a candidate.
The Tribune says: although somewhat
Delphic in its phraseol0gy, this letter will
probably be regarded as finally withdrawing
Gen. Grants name from the list of candidates
for the next Presidency. He does, indeed,
take pains to indicate that there might be Cir
cumstances under which he would accept the
nomination if rendered; but these, he thinks,
are not likely to arise. He says: am not,
nor have ever been, candidate for renomlna-
tion.' Alb, if helhad only said as much zen as tins
some time ago what suffering might have been
saved to the Republican party!
Tho World saws: The letter shows the same
weakness that its author has all along SHOWN III

perceive that tnere are CopoeiI"Oon"' 49,.
which men who know what free government
means are not preparedlto give up in favor Ola
chief magistrate, even if they believe in his
good intentions This defect arises partly per
maps from Gen. Grants military habits, but
much more from the nature of his mind, and is
one of the many proofs of his utter unftness to
be a President of the United States.
The Herald saws: We shall be surprised IL
the country accepts this as satisfactory dec
aration from the President. 1t is IAN evasive
letter. 1t would havebeen better for This fame
and even for the welfare of the party which
he proposes to serve if he had not written it.

The Folly of Neglect.

1t Is the height of folly to neglect precautionary
measures for the preservation of health, when they
become necessary in consequence of hurtfu infuen-
ces. Among these influences are the unavoidable in
halation of malarious feti1 air, exposure in bad
weather. unhealthy occupations and habitual late
hours, all of which tend to produce disease. To
guard against their effects vigorous and regular dis
charge of the bodily functions should be KEEP tup Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is the tonic, of all Others
best calculated to perpeuate bodily vigor and regu
larity The experience of denizens of unhealthy To-
calties. outdoor laborers employees in manufacto-
rles and late workers of all kinds has shown that
a winegassful of this pleasant safeguard taken at
regular intervals imparts an amount OF stamina and
