OF course, the most ingenious and deceptive
expedients will be resorted to for the purpose
of consolidating this issue of its full signii-
canoe, but it will be in vain. The surround
ings and inspiration of the period will compel
its full recognition. and call for a direct and
uneqnivocal determination. 1t will absorb all
other questions, and leave the devices of the
political pettifoggers of the Dem 1cratic party
entirely out OF the arena OF dispntation. The
result is already foreshadowea in She growing
disgust OF the country with the opening scenes

s"BISHOP" LAFFERTY SPEAKS AGAIN.-As
specimen of how pure the dicton of South
crn political preacher is, and how elevated the
sentiment and rich the illustration which gush
free and unembarrasse1 from his overlooking
Christian love, we append the following speci-
men from a report OF the New York Herald $
Richmond correspondence an interview with
"Bishop' j. j. Laffertv. 1t should be rcmem-
hered that Bishop Hayen's otfense was simply
expressing his opinion, as man, in favor OF a
third term for President Grant, and responding
to a proposition to pray that such might be the
case. This he had a right to do, and it was his
duty to pray, If he honestly believed that the
good OF the country demanded it, Mr.. Lafferty
says
''My opinion OF Bishop Havsn's nomination
Of General Grant is that it is bad for Haven
and bad for Grant. Now, Haven is a nuisance
ut home and abroad. His ambition is notoriety
and nastiness. He is a condensed can-can in a
white cravat. He pironttes at any angle to
tickle the pit. His measure of success is the
bushes OF decency. Grant has bad groom,
iii Haven. The Bishop has damaged the third
term. Haven has no following among his
Church. He disgusts the men OF consequence
among them. They must now submit to be
tarred with the same stick and confess them-
selves gang Of politicians Or dcodorize the
Church and lustrate its altar. If Ravens
Church DON'T echo his blast for Grant, then
Grants fuglcman has done it jast one time too
often, Samivel.' Gilbert Hlven has struck the
wrong end of the lnatch.''

full the speech in question. and then, taking
each OF its propositions separately, proceeds to
argue that they are. all OF them, sound, wise
and impartial and that, L carried out, their
effect would be to render the schools truly free
and truly common by depriving them OF their
present character, which is either sectarian on
the one hand, or pagan and atheistical on the
other Thus the ideas of the speech are not

It is very strange that the Democrats who
claim that General Grant could not he elected
third term, should busy themselves about
''anti-thirl term' resolutions. If they believe
what they say, and desire to yet control Of the
Government, the end could be better accom-
plshed by his nomination. The fact is, they
don't KIN wv exactly what to get at. They are
striking in the dark. Let them lay the fatter
