Third Term Prospects.

Grant is determined to have war
with Spain if war is necessary to
secure him third term. We might
as we'll give him an estate for life IN
the White House and save expenses.
His desire to be re-nominated appeared
never palmer than when in the
celebrated letter to the Pennsylvania
convention he denied his desire Of a
denomination. There is no possible
combination of circumstances which
will not make it obligatory upon mis-
patriotism to accept the call Of his
country; and there are no possible
intrigues which he will not employ to
bring about such a combination of
circumstances as will induce his friends
to call him. The third term dead !?
Why, it is budding most vigorously in
the soil Of Washington, and the little
fbres insinuate themselves into every
Federal Office; you may find the root
lets as far as the Black Hills; every
whiskey barrel is watering pot to
supply the necessary moisture to keep
the trunk vigorous. Since the recent
elections there is hardly any conceal
ment; when in his sereuading speech
Grant said that the control Of the
National Government was secured to
the Republican party for another
term, who can doubt but that Grant
and the Republican party were used
as interchangeable terms. The Vir-
ginius affair happened a little too soon.
The war would have been over by this
time and the necessity for Grant would
have ceased. Now is about the right
time to commence; for the old hulls
and penetrable plate-frigates and un-
navigable monitors vulgarly called the
American Navy would be very roughly
handled by the Spanish ironclads, and
Grant would be continuing necessity
until We had competent naval arma-
ment. And what would be more in
accordance with the fitness of things
than for Grant to annex the Tobacco
Isle. Destiny seems to have selected,
prepared and trained him for that sole
purpose; and it is dangerous to at
tempt to thwart Destiny. Methinks
the spirit of History whispers into
my ears that when finally borne down
with the care of his horses and dogs,
Grant abdicates IL favor of Prince Fed,
grateful people will make him Duke
Partagas de Abajo, with the whole
Tobacco Revenue for an income, and
erect a monument in his honor in
Moro Castle in the nature of a cigar
shaped obelisk, with an eternal fire

Our Congressman.

The question is whether We have
any. It is contended that Judge
Hoge is not our representative. The
law requires that Congressional Dis
trict be composed of contiguous terri
tory. The Third District consists of
the Counties of Ocoree, Pickens, An
derson, Abbeville, Laurens, Newberry
and Richland; the latter County is
totally detached from any of the other
Counties composing the Congressional
District. If the District is not con-
stituted as required by Act Of Con-
gress it is not entitled to any repre-
sentation. If Judge Hoge does not
legally represent us-and we are salts
fed that he does not represent us
equitably-we should prefer to have
no Congressman at all for our share
until the next regular election. 1t has
been suggested BY our contemporaries
of the Medium and Intelllgenc5r, that
petitions be circulated in every County
of the District, requesting Congress to
oust Hoge from his seat. 1t seems to
US it would be sufficient to present a
memorial signed by a few, through one
of its members to the House, which
would refer the case to the Committee on
Elections and they would inquire into
the facts and the law. A hundred
thousand signatures cannot increase the
illegality of the election, nor can the
number of petitioners add to the force
of the legal argument before Congress.
It is not like recommending man for
a Post Office where each name adds to
the weight of the recommendation.
But whatever be done let US have unity
of action, and if it be found necessary
to have petitions let them be uniform
in the different Counties. We might
have committees appointed next Sale
day. to consult with similar ones of
the other Counties as to the best plan
of proceeding; petition signed by
them or mere statement by them of
the facts sent to some member of
Congress might be sufficient. We
merely throw out the hint.

We learn from the Intelllgencer
that Messrs. Seibels Il Ezell, Of Colum'
bia, began on the 24th ult., the sale
of large number Of valuable lots and
farms around Seneca City, a growing
town-mostly on paper-situated at
the crossing of the Air Line and Blue
Ridge Railroads, the principal industry
of the inhabitants of which is the
digging of Seneca Snake Root
Messrs. Seibels & Ezell, are deter
mined, however, to transfer the city
from paper to land and to extend the
industry of the people. To speak
seriously, the situation is very pro-
missing. Those in search of a home
or profitable investment might as vel!
take peep before running clear out
of the State.
