To the Editor of the National Republican:
SIR: Can you or any of your readers satisfy an
inquiriDg mind as to the origin, reason or neces-
sity of the phrase in the election laws of some Of
the States that the election shall be held on the
first Tuesday after the first Monday in the
month";" To smInd unlearnedi in legal technical
ities the phrase seems awkward and Pathological,
iuasmuch as the particular Tuesday might be
identified by the expires sion, the first Tuesday or
the second Tuesday in the month merely, and not
after the tirst Monday little light, Mr.. Editor,
on this puzzling question will doubtless be bene-
hctal to others as we'll as the undersigned.
INQUIRER.
The reason is obvious. 1t is never conven-
lent to attend elections on the first ofthe month,
which is generally busy day with business
men. By fixing the first, Tuesday after the first
Monday, 1t is impossible that the election can
occur upon the first of the month, while, If
fixed for the second Tuesday, it would fire.
quently take:place too late in the month to be
convenient. Congress meets the first Monday
in December, and if Congressional elections
were held invariably on the second Tuesday in
November they would sometimes occur as late
as the 14th, which would give but little time
for members from a distance to attend elections
at home and then repair to Washington by the
day fixed for the meeting of Congress. By the
present arrangement they cannot occur later
than the Sth nor earlier than the I'd, as in this
year. The days for elections are fixed by law,
and, of course, cannot be changed except by
legislation.

1t is little amusing to see the organ of Jay
Gould parading its black list of candidates not
to be voted for as members of the Legislature
because "they are jobbers." Whoever heard
of Gould wanting honest men in the Legisla-
ture 1t is pretty safe to conclude that the
Tri6Une's list comprises the men who have
refused to do "jobs" for Gould heretofore.
News comes from Liberia by way Of London
of the repulse of the Liberian troops In an at
tack upon their native enemies, with loss of
men and cannon. The statement that the diff
fculty arose from infractions of the laws of
trade by foreigners and natives gives color to
the reports that the English are at the bottom
of the troubles.
The London Times advises Spain to abandon
ga distant dependency which can never be gov
erned save by military power" rather han run
the risk of dismembering the monarchy.
England has great friendship for monarchical
Spain, even without Cuba. By all means save
the monarchy But the Times also knows
that the commerce of England with free Cuoa
would be far more valuable to Britain than It
can ever become while the island is de-
psndency of Spain and trade is hampered by

The New York correspondence
OF the Cincinnati Commercial has some
interesting gossip respecting the man
ner in which the Beecher people eX-
pect to meet the expenses of the trial,
which are very heavy on the Bcecher
side. Beecher's church would meet
all the expenses in moment, if they
were ten times greater than they are.
1t may be taken for granted that
Beecher himself will never be allowed
to pay cent. Beecher has had a
large income for twenty years, but he
has never been able to take care Of
money, even with the aid Of his
watchful wife, and it is doubtful If all
the property he has in the world, in
Guiding his Peekskil farm and his
Brooklyn house, would bring $4,000.
Perhaps hint on the subject may be
got from Porters speech. Porter
spoke of the wealthy friends who had
closed around Beechcr. and mentioned
several of them by name, including
the great merchant, Clallin, who (said
Porter was ready to sacrifice half his
fortune in defence of his friend Beech
er. Now, when it is considered that
Clatlin is worth over $3O,OO0,OOO. 1t
is easy to see that it would not take a
hundredth part of his fortune to
meet all the expenses incurred in be
half of Beecher during the trial. a
dozen other men in Beecher's church
could be named, each of whom would
be ready to put down $4,000 or
100000 for their pastor at this time.
But on the Tilton side there has been
woful lack Of means throughout.
Tilton himself has little money to his

The Judges of the New Hamp

The Judges Of the New Hamp.
shireSuperior Court of Judicature, have
sustained the Governor and Council,
in declaring that Messrs. Priest and
Proctor, were duly elected Senators
from the 2nd and 4th Districts, having
received 4 majority of the votes cast
in their respective Districts, in accord
ance with the Laws and Constitution
of the State. The Republican vote
for Governor, Person G. Cheney was
elected by Joint Convention. by seren
majority, on Wednesday of last week.
The Republicans of the State have
the Governor, Railroad Commission,
and the House of Representatives.
While the Democrats have the Coun-
Gil, the Senate, two out of three of the
Representatives to Congress, etc, etc.
So the Republicans can not do the
State much harm this year by evil
Legislation, and this is what makes
them so saucy and ugly.

Windsor County Court.

JUDGE BARRETT, Presiding.
We will in giving our court report of this
week commence by publishing synopsis
of No. 12?, The Howe Machine Co., V.
Charles W. Pcasc. This case was reached
just as we were going to press last week.
1t appeared in evidence that one of the
Agents of the Howe Machine Co., drove Il
horse valued at about $4,000 from Wood
stock to the Hotel of Mr.. Pcasc, the dclcn-
dant, at White River Village, and as hotel
keeper, Mr.. Pease received him. The horse
afterwards had the 'cpzooic' and remain
ed in the care of Mr.. Pcasc, either as hotel
keeper or boarding house keeper for several
days From the disease, or want Of proper
care, or something else, he deprecated in
value. This action was brought to recover
of Mr. Pease damages. The Court instruct
ed the jury, in substance that il they found
thai the horse was kept by the dcfcndent as
hotel keeper Chcrc was no question made
but what he was 50 received the he would
be bound to deliver back the horse in The
same condition as he was when received in
to his hands. But if they found that the
arrangement afterwards made operated to
change the position Of the defendant from
that of hotel keeper to that OF boarding
house keeper there he would be liable only
on the ground of want Or lack of ordinary
care, Sc. The jury couldn't agree and
were discharged by the Court, As the case
has been tried before we may expect anoth-
cr trial next December S. E. and S. NJ.

Hon. Reverdy johnson has con-
tributed to the New YORK; Herald one
of the best reviews Of the Presidents
third-term letter that has been made
public. 1t is dignified yet incisive,
and removes the thin veneer Of plausi-
bility that has given the letter cur
rency among approving party journals,
exposing the whole selfshness, vanity
superfciallty Of this eleventh hour and
ambiguous document. Though he
does not say so, the eminent jmists
evidently regards the Presidents state
ment that there is nothing in the Con
stitution to prevent third term as
little less than a piece Of gross i'm
pertinence, for he says A.: "Until the
time Of President Grant not only did
no one of his predecessors who had,
held the Office for two terms give the
most distant hint that he wished or
would accept the office again, as far
as / am advised, no individual citizen
or journalist ever proposed or sug.
gest it." OF the possible circum-
stances which might make the &C
ccptance OF the third term an sim
perative duty" the President would lie
the man to judge, and very likely his
Judgment would not correspond with
that of the people. In conclusion Mr..
johnson fails to find any internal evil
dence in the letter that will warrant
him in crediting the President with
any exalted motives. "lndeed, 50 far
as he is personally concerned, he
seems to regard it as a mere matter Of
dollars and cents, and it may be Iegiti-
mately inferred that if the salary
which he now receives should be Sc
cured to him as q retiring pension he
would gladly leave the Office at the
end of the present term" This is q
severe thing for so good q judge of
men and motives as Mr.. johnson to
say Of the Chief Magistrate, and it is
only warranted by the truth OF it.

M. ID. Conway writes from Lon,
don to the Cincinnati Commercial ola
single little furry that has recently
been occasioned IN the parish Of Ken
sington on account of the election of a
lady to be one Of the Guardians of the
Poor. The Office is very important,
the Board of Guardians having to dis
pose OF nearly all the rates. In Lon
don alone twenty million of pounds, in
round numbers, are taken from the
people to'be expended for the public
welfare. When the time came round
for the rate-payers to elect their Guar
dams the names of two ladies were
offered in nomination. One was that
of Lady Burdett. Coutts, who was
offered as a candidate from Bethnel-
Green, on which poor community she
had bestowed many benefits, but on
hearing that she had been nominated
she wrote a letter to the Returning
Officer saying that she could not serve
if elected. But the case turned out
differently in Kensington. Here there
was young lady, Miss Merington, a
lady moving in the best society, cul-
tivated and handsome, who for four o.
five years had been distinguished by
her devotion to benevolent enterprises
It was felt that no Poor Law Guar
dian was doing so much work, and
she was elected. The other Guardians
were thereupon disposed to consider
the dignity of their Board compro-
missed When the first meeting was
held, and the chairman began his adj
dress with "Miss Merington and Gen
tlemen," a Guardian asked if the lady
was to be permitted to wear her bon
net I; but he was shut up by the others,
and told that no dlsrespect of the en-
inent lady would be allowed. This
surly malcontent has since been talk
ing about instituting legal proceedings

The ~ \, Graphic, Grant Re-
publican paper, says-''lt may be that
there are no contingencies which call
for re election of President Grant !;
that IS an open question: But we in
sist that there is no Constitutional or
other objection to third term. -
Such bits as the above from Admins,
tration papers, shows that Grants
letter declining the third term, was Il
forced, and not 4 voluntary act Of Its
author. This was done, as we stated
in our last issue, to save the Republic
can party from defeat. But it came
too late. 1t is of course an "ope11
question:" whether Grant shall be cleo
ted for the Third Term-notwith,
standing the letter-therc being moth
ing in the Constitution to prevent ii,
if the people ''wILL IT" But the
letter will deceive no one. The meal
is laid rather ''thin' over the mouse

THE party of Eastern capitalists
who have lately been inspecting the
Western railroads took trip ont to
President Grants farm during their
stay in St. Louis, and got fine view
of broad acres that make up the
homestead of the President. The
house is a white frame building, i'll
want of q coat of paint, two stories
and a garnet high, with q southern
kitchen set against the gable, and
huge stone chimneys built against
both the house and the kitchen. on
the outside, presenting the features of
an old planters homestead in Ken
lucky or Georgia. a magnificent
row of old locust trees arose in line
in front of the yard and beyond it, as
if leading to some past or future
mansion OF greater pretenslons at the
end Of the perspective, When the
side door of the barn was opened to
show the elegant black trotters stabbed
there, q large bull dog, chained by the
door, put out his head, and immedi-
ately from fifty voice the exclamation
arose, "There is the bull-pup.' The
fine horses were all brought out Of
the barn and and Wild circle made
amongst the visitors to keep clear of
their heels. One Of them was Il
Hambletonian all were bred, and so
likewise were the trottors, which were
crossed between thoroughbreds and
native road stock, A brood mare
and colt were pasturing close by the
barn. A person well qualified to
know said that the Presidents stock
on the premises was worth $50, 900
If there be 1000 acres Of land in thi:
farm ii should be worth Si0O,00O.-
Both by locality and soil and water
the site is admirable for breeding
stock.
