The attempt to rob Gen. Grant of
the glory and renown to which he is
justly entitled as military man is
futile, and will never succeed. ton.
ly goes to show that the men who are
opposing the President and cndeav.
oring to cast a shadow over his fair
fame, are moved by a captious spirit,
Of which fairness and candor form
no part. Yet some Democratic pa
pers are now attempting to do it..
The Courier-Jo,npol, OF late date,
publishes long editorial controvert-
ing the fact that there was any bril-
liancy in the movement that resulted
in the capture ofDonaldson and Henry
on the Cumberland and Tennessee
rivers, for which Grant deserves any
special credit. 1t appears to us that
to write Grant down as destitute of
briIliancy rs a military commander, is
an insult to the intelligence of Gen.
Lee, and other Confederate com.
manders. The fact that he, even
with q force superior in numbers, as
we are willing to admit he had. was
able to move into the enemy's coun-
try and act on the offensive against
such a General as Lee, is evidence
sufficient that nc has few equals and
no superiors as amilitary commander
These efforts TO rob him Of the credit
due him as a military chiertain will
do him more good than harm.

TIE interest in State politics in
OHIO has never been greater than ut
present. To-day the Republican
State Convention meets at Columbus,
for the purpose of nominating q State
ticket. The question has been pretty
thoroughly discussed in the papers.
and we predict that a iirst-class ticket
will be put in the field. The names
most prominently mentioned now are
Judge Taft, ex-senator Wade, eX-
Gov. Hayes and eX-Gov. Noyes.
They are all good inca, and either OF
them will make q strong race. The
opposition will nominate GOV. VIM.
Allen, the octagenariau Of forty-lung
power, Tor reelection. The contest
will soon open in earnest, and will
create o profound interest. not only
in the Buckeye State, but all over the
country. The relations between the
two great political parties at this
tiue gives more than ordinary inter.
est to the canvass IN Ohio. as well as
Pennsylvania.

THE THIRD TERM QUESTION.
No class Of persons will feel more
disappointed on reading the Presi.
dents letter to Harry White, mention
Of which was made in our dispatches
published yesterday, and the full text
Of which appears in our issue Of this
morning than those who have been
charging the third term issue. with Il
view OF weakening the Republican
party in the next election. There are
two classes Of men who have assisted
in keeping alive this foolish charge
until the opponents Of the administra-
ton sought to make it q political is
sue. One class did it from partisan
malice and the other through sheer
ignorance. Those who have known
the President best have never for
one moment believed that he would de-
sire an election for q third term. Those
who have said that he did desire
third term, have made the statement
without any sort Of foundation for it.
Some of them have made it mblush-
ingly, while others have made it and
are not, for obvious reasons, account
able for what they say,
But it argues well for the upright
ness Of Grants administration, when
it is known that no worse charge can
be made against him, than that he
wants Third Term" If his adj;
ministration of the laws has been so
perfect that his critics can say moth
ing worse of him, then he must be
very near perfect. But now that he
has silenced their batteries in this re-
gard, what will they have to talk
about? The average Democratic pa
per for the next few months must
prove dry and uninteresting.

THE PENITENTIARY.

A LEDGER commissioner interviewed
General Cheatham, superintendent Of
the penitentiary, to-day in regard TO the
escapes Of eonviets from that institution,
alluded to heretofore in these columns.
We learn, to be concise, that two general
escapes have occurred since last Febru-
MY the time that General Cheatham be-
came superintendent. Each time it oc-
Cured on the Cincinnati and Southern
railroad line in East Tennessee. The
first time fourteen prisoners got away.
This was about July 18th, and at night,
The guard on duty went to sleep, and
they crawled out of their temporary
prison single file oyer his somnolent
body. The fifteenth mar got in a tight
place and had to squeal. The guard
was aroused and afterward discharged,
Ten Of this crowd have since been recap
tured. On the 18th of July seven others
broke away during a storm in daytime
in the same locality. Two Of these have
been recaptured-one Of them the other
night in South Memphis. General Cheat.
ham saw him in the Jail this morning
where he lies badly afflicted by a wound
which he received while attempting to
burglarize q house in South Memphis.
Eight convicts have been killed since
February while in the act Of escaping;
fourteen have been wounded in the same
way, and ten have escaped scot free"
One guard is allowed to ten convicts;
when one proves derelict, he
is discharged, and that is all that can be
done with him under the law. Convicts
will often take their chances and break
for liberty, even when covered by a
double-barreled shotgun. The most rigid
regulations will not prevent this. Every
abIe-bodied convict is a source of profit
to the %lessees. When one escapes or is
killed it is a loss to them, even if not to
society. We presume from what we can
gather that all practicable precautions
are taken to guard against escapes, and
hope at the same time that no more
desperadoes such as have recently been
a terror to the people of Memphis will
get away alive before the expiration Of
their term.

Affairs in Herzegovina are becoming
interesting. 1t is in a remote part Of the
world, yet events may transpire there in
a few months that will do much toward
eventually changing the map Of Europe,
We find this brief account of the coua-
try in Ritter's Geographic Statistic Lex
icon GERMANY for 1913: "Herzego-
vena, Hertseek, is a country in Europe,
which partly belongs TO Austria and
partly to Turkey. In Austria it forms a
small part in the southeast Of Dalmatia,
but in Turkey it is aSandshak in Bosnia
by itself, which bounds in the north,
northeast and east on the Dinara Alps,
in the southeast on Montenegro, south
east and west on Dalmatis, and north
west on Bagna-Luka. 1t is, toward the
Dinara Alps, mountainous, and slopes
toward the Adriatic Ocean, into which
the river Nayenta flows; on the left side
it receives the rivers Drinownrik, Jesero,
Buchna and Crupa; on the right, the
Dretsnitza, Jossinitza and Trebisat. Ia
the plains Of Gabela are the swamps OF
Utova. The Jossinitza comes out Of the
lake Blato. Trebin, Trebinge, is a forti-
fed city in Bosnia, northeast Of Ragusa,
Of ten thousand inhabitants" 1t is
rather difficult at this distance to under
stand the issues involved in that little in
surrection, but it is believed that. the
greater powers Of Europe will watch the
result with uncommon interest. Turkey
has been propped up like a sick man
by Great Britain and France for many
years, and a withdrawal of moral sup
port would, in all probability, lead to a
speedy dismemberment Of the Ottoman
Empire. Then would ensue a contest
between the various powers for the right
to administer on the sick mans effects.
If Turkey fails to speedily put down this
Instruction, in which Austria seems to
take such a lively interest, the long.ex.
pected conclusion will be greatly has
tened.

To the Editor Of the Ledger:
SIR-I missed the weekly of your
widely circulated Journal last week, and
as / take no other secular paper, have
fallen a week behind the news. You, as
a well posted journalist, will remember
that / retired some time since from the
arena Of politics, but this is nc reason
why / should not take a patriotic inter
est in public affairs and as to Governor
Porter's probable actisn in regard to the
Senatorial vacancy. Not will you be
surprised to learn that some of those
who know my decided views and have
seen me tried on former occasions have
suggested my humble name. l do not
know that | could afford to neglect my
saw-mill and other private interests un-
less circumstances should arise requiring
such a sacrifice. My wife, however, and
my two sons-in-law are especially anx-
ious that l should go. You are doubt
less sware that on the currency question
| am sound. / favor initiation. | say
let us have more money, and when that
is ont we want some more" as Oliver
Twist said. These are the views like
wise of my constituents named above. l
also favor a system of internal improve
ments-the digging of canals and clean
ing out of our rivers from their outlets
to their sources. A signal station should
be maintained on every large farm. My
saw-mill, for instance, would afford an
excellent location. The last time l ran
for the Legislature l advocated these
great measures, but the people we're not
prepared to view them from my stand
point and / was relegated back to the
duties appertaining to my farm
and saw mill. l have written
Governor Porter a friendly letter, and
added in a postscript that if the appoint
ment should fall on me l would submit
with Christian fortitude. Therefore,
when you make out another alphabet
cal list put in my name and send me a
copy of the paper. Do not suppose that
l want the Office except as a means of
serving my country; in fact, | hope
some one else will get the place, but
Governor Porter knows, or at least You
do, my aversion to Office, and it may be
a duty to inform him through you that l
hsye overcome all scruples as regards
re-entering public life, and feel that at
nay advanced age l can withstand the
vices and temptations of Washington
life. In this respect | have few or no
rivals. l also need the salary, as my
saw.mill failed to pay expenses last
year and my creditors are clamorous for
Porter to give me the appointment.
Yours. faithfully. etc.

near Durant, Miss, a white man named
Frank Mcknight went to the house of a
neighbor named Willis Prichard, who
was absent at church, and assaulted his
wife, who was left at home with her little
child. She resisted him successfully in
his hellish design, but he stabbed her
severely in six different places. When
the husband returned he found his wife
weltering in her blood and the little boy
caressing his suffering mother.
Mcknight was arrested, and when
brought before Mrs, Prichard was in
stautly identified. BE was put in prison
