| OPINIONS ON THE ACTION OF CONGRESS.
The President is credited tonight
with an observation somewhat toe
| lively for his wits. When he heard Of
Blaine's blank refusal to vote on the
third term question: he said: "Blaine
needn't be so d---n careful. He DOM
stand in anybody's way" WOrld's
Washington Special
The third term received % stunning
blow IN Congress Yesterday, from which
it will hardly recover. In fact, the third
term may be considered past praying
for. The .pious prayers of Brother Gil
Haven will hardly avail. Harrisburg
Patriot (Den.)
Assuming that the Republican party
does not mean to destroy itself by the
denomination OF Gen. Grant, who could
not even carry Massachusetts. and
would certainly lose New York, Penn
sylvania and Ohio, it is time to look to
the considerations which should deter
mine the selection Of IL candidate. -Har-
per's Weehly) Rep
At present we do not hear this pOpu-
lar clamor for Grants reelection; but,
II there is anything in the signs Of the
times, it. Is q rising storm of public opin-
ion that will sweep Grant and his Wash
ington rings from power, and they will
never be reinstated. Los Angeles Herald

Mr.. Springer, Of Illinois, SAYS he
sprung the anti-third term resolution
on Congress because he is a Methodist,
and wanted to test the value of Bishop
Ravens nomination. And now the
question arises. will u Congressman IS
vote outweigh q bishops prayers. Phil
ddelphi0 Press, (RepD
In any event, his name is not likely to
be brought forward in the Republican
Convention, backed by any formidable
show of strength. There has been n too
general expression of opinion within
the Republican party in favor of taking
up u new man to encourage any hope
which few advocates of third term
may have permitted themselves to en-
terrain when the. subject was first
brought to public notice.-Ir0y Times.
(Rep.)
That awful hobgoblin which has been
so fraught with danger in the eyes of
people, the third term move
ment, has received another heavy blow,
this time from the House OF Represent
atives, bya vote Of 232 to IS, without any
debate on the question. Yet with this
tremendous opposition to Il third term
we suppose many foolish persons will
keep the cry Il going -1ddison IN. ~
Adnertiser, (Rep.)
This (the vote appears to be the
measure Of the third term strength in
the House. There is no strength about
It, however, even among the Republic
cans.-Philadelphin Herald (Iad.)
We would like to believe that this vote
ends the third term agitation. Utica
Observer (Dem)
Grants denomination would be the
forecast of serious trouble. His very
Inpopularity makes him dangerous |
His unreasonable and unreasoning de- |
'ire to perpetuate his power makes him
dangerous. His success in breaking |
through the limitations OF the Constitu-
ion and ignoring the restraints which
aw imposes, as illustrated in the Louis
ana case, makes him dangerous. His
lespotic control over a trained army Of
makes him dangerous. t
The apathy OF the people, which leads
hem to look with apparent indifference
Ipon acts of usurpation, makes him

It is generally conceded that Bishop
