SECESSION RAMPANT.

Our telegraphic dispatches this
morning inform us that the five Re
publican members Of the New Hamp-
shire Senate have succeeded and set up
for themselves. The Senate of that
State is composed of only twelve men,
bers. In the Constitution of New
Hampshire it is provided that mot
less than seven members Of the Senate
shall make a quorum for doing bust
ness" Then, admittingfor the moment,
that two Of the Democratic Senators
were not entitled to their seats, by
what authority do these five Republi-
cans withdraw into another room and
organize. Perhaps they wish to bring
about another Louisiana imbroglio and
invoke the assistanceof Federal author
ity TO GUST the Democrats and seat the
Republicans. Grant Will not attempt
such an experiment in that latitude,
and as the law and the facts are against
this Republican effort, it will not pre-
vail IN the courts.

SENATOR Morton delivered the ad-
dress on Decoration day at Greencastle,
Ind. 1t was intended for political eff
feet. He does not like this joint hon
oring Of the graves Of the departed
dead of both armies. He thinks the
Northern soldiers were Fighting for
God and humanity" and the Southern
soldiers were fighting against both.
Hence he does not propose to take part
in any joint decoration. But, then
Senator Morton was not one of the
fighting braves, only snuffed the battle
from afar. He rode at the head Of the
regiments Of the brave boys in blue
until they reached the corporation line
Of the city Of Indianapolis. He then
bade them good bye and rode back It
is not strange that be should yet be
mad, fighting mad.

sudden, but 1t has been very sure and
seriously affecting to the pockets of
builders. Perhaps it would be unrea.
sonable to ask Of them exemption from
the general tendency Of things mate

scarce nor are prices low. If their cost
had decreased at about the same ratio
as their size, nobody would ever have
thought Of groaning over the diminu-
ton, but it has not.

TO assume that work done at a distance is neces

Memphis Appeal.

Our accounts from all parts of the
State represent the wheat crop as very
fine. Soon they viii commence cutting
wheat, and We again urge upon our
farming friends the importance of
taking care of it, and of preparing it
early for market. 1t viii bring a bet
ter price early than late, and, If pro-
perly managed, Will afford great pecu-
mary relief. Do not, by all means, let
it remain in the fields after it is cut,
and be ruined by summer rains. You
cunnOt be too cautious on this point.
After having harvested your wheat, do
not let it be destroyed through neg

G. W. SMALLEY, one of the most en-
inent European correspondents Of the
American press, in his last letter from
London to the Nclo York Tribune, re-
fers to Horace Maynard in this slight
ing way:
The two new Ministers, Mr.. Orth and
who is the Other?-were duly present
ed at Court last week, and are, sup.
pose on their way to the scenes Of their
new duties, with an interpreter apiece
to buy their railroad tickets and intro
duce them to their respective SOyer-
eigns. This is conjecture on my part,
aud may do gross injustice to the lin
guistic attachments of Mr.. Orth and his
eminent colleague, whose name l have
not yet recollected.

From the above it will be seen that
Priest, Democrat, received a plurality
Of the votes cast, and that he only
lacked twenty-one votes of having a
majority of votes over all others. Fur
ther, it appeared before the Governor
and Council that Head was christened
Nathaniel; that his name so stands on
the check list of his town; that there
under he voted last March; that by
ballots calling him Nathaniel he was
elected Moderator of the meeting in
his town at the last election, and as
Moderator, endeavored to count him
self Gin" as ''Natt," and that as Ma
thaniel he has been elected to various
Offices and never as "Natt."

ATTENTION being called to the fact
that not a single hotel in New York
possesses all the safeguards against
loss of life in conhagrations which sci
ence and experience dictate, the pro.
prietors respond that it costs less to
insure their property than to remedy
the sources of danger. If travellers
this summer should make their stay IN
the metropolis shorter, and seek out
the smaller and safer houses, the own
ers Of the big caravansaries may be
brought to their senses.

New York Herald.

The letter of the President Will be
read at the first blush as a release from
this danger, for which he himself part
ly and Republicans largely are respon-
sible. We wish we could think so.
This is an exceedingly adroit and
able letter. 1t has all the clumsy
strength an energy of Grants simple,
numbering style. We wish we could
say more than this, and that we could
regard this as a satisfactory letter. 1t
is far from being so. There is nothing
IN this letter to prevent Gen. Grants
acceptance of the Presidency for a
third term. There is no expression Of
allegiance to that sacred tradition that
a third term would be practically a
monarchy. The President was think
ing about himself when he began to
write, and he never abandoned his
theme. We can see that extraOrdina-
~ conviction of Grant, which has
marked his whole public career, that
after all, the Republic had not done
more for him than he deserved. The
matter Is altogether personal. There
Is no principle behind it-no evidence
that ever such a thing as a principle
had entered his mind.
1t is an evasive letter. It would have
been much better for his fine, and
even for the welfare Of the party which
he proposes to serve, if he had not
written it. In word the country is
told that the President viii not take
what Is not offered to him. That is
not what we wanted from the Presi-
dent. What we did wantIwas an ex-
press avowal by Gen. Grant that the
question Of a third term would be
treason to a sacred precept of our III
written common law. Such a declara-
ton would have thrilled the country
and been a graceful cap-sheaf to the
fame Of Grant. As it is, Cesarism is
as a political issue more potent than
ever. It becomes the dominant ques-
ton in the next canvass. Our answer
should be the limitation Of the Presi-
dency to one term, and no reelection
ever after.

MEN are often blamed on account Of
their politics, but scientists have dis
covered that politics is often a matter
Of temperament. Octave Fue'let,- in
"Camors, " says: In politics we take
our principles from temperament; the
bilious are demagogues; the sanguine
Democrats; the nervous aristOcrats.
One both nervous and sanguine may
take choice; he may be an aristocrat in
regard to himself and a democrat IN
relation to others" Just so.

IMPORTANT 10 PENSIONERS.

Commissioner Atkinson has issued a
circular Of instructions for the guidance
of examining surgeons, which gives
many new and specific directions look
ing to the discovery of existing frauds
and the prevention Of new ones.
Among the new instructions are the
following:
Biennial examinations Of army and
navy pensioners are now required by
section All of the Revised Code to be
made on every odd year, the next being
due Sept. (, 1875. At these examina-
tons it is the primary object to deter
mine whether the disability still exists
N the degree at which the pensi0ner is
being paid. If, however, the disability
shall have increased, OF if a new disa-
bility, Enthusiastically dependent upon
the original disability, shall be
found, il should be described and
rated. No claimant for an original
pension, for an increase, or for a renew
al or restoration, should be examined
excepting upon the order at this Office.
Examination before payment E., an
examination required by the law on the
terms Of the certiicate-may be made
without the order of the Office. In no
case should an examination be made at
the request Of a probable or possible
claimant, the object Of which is TO Sc
cure the opinion Of the surgeon wheth-
er an application couldor could not be
sustained. The same rule applies also
to an examination to determine if the
character Of the disability might not
exempt a pensioner from biennial eI-
animation. In either Of these cases
the surgeon applied to should express
no opinion, but simply refer the per-
son to tits Office, which, upon the re-
ceipt Of the application. Will direct such
action rs NAV be necessary.

the National Republican, says: "The
Grange movement is On the decline
1t was one of those spasmodic politi-

In these assertions by high Republican
authority the wish is father to the
thought, as President Grant and his
party Will find to their sorrow.

a few days before mounting the witness

Nobody can fail to read in the letter
which a warning from his own sup
porters has at last drawn out from Mr..
Grant, the extreme reluctance with
which he makes even a pretense Of re-
signing his chance for a reelection. The
one chance he has depends upon the
public belief that he has not solicited
or intrigued for denomination. His
letter, which purports to be'a resigna-
ton of his pretensions, is not so in
fact. The saving clause in it enables
him to push those pretenses whenever
he chooses, which means if and when
ever he sees a possibility of success for
them.

Although somewhat Delphic in its
phraseology, this letter viii probably
be regarded as finally withdrawing
Gen. Grant name from the Inst of can
didatesfor the next Presidency. He does
indeed take pains to indicate that There
miqht be circumstances under which
he would accept a nomination, if ten
dered, but these, he thinks, are not
likely to arrive. He says, 81 am not.
nor have l ever been, a candidate for
denomination. All! if he had only
said as much as this some time ago,
what suffering might have been saved
to the Republican party.
New York Times.
A lawyer or a wood-chopper might
have drawn the letter up more skill
fully, and the critic might suggest the
alteration of certain phrases; but it
says enough for all practical purposes,
and it says it In language which is at
least Ineligible. 1t ought to be &C.
cepted as a distinct denial and repudi-
alton of all that network of intrigue
and scheming for third term, (which
has been attributed to the President
and his immediate friends. Whatever
the Democrats may say about it, it is
the duty Of Republicans to treat it in
good faith, and to prepare the work Of
1876 without reference to even the pos
sibility Of Gen. Grant being in the
field as a candidate.
