when IN fact they are uneasy and dis
pleased.

unwritten law that declares that no man
shall be elected to the Presidential Office
the third time must not be disregarded."
"Not so fast, replied Grant. you can
not control the people by resolution.
If they want to elect man the third
time they will do so: aud 1t may be
necessary TO give to deserving man a
third term"

"Well, don't want to be re. elected.

OHIO POLITICALLY

The political battle that was opened
yesterday by the Republican nominating
convention will he contested with great
determination by the combatants, but
there Il every reason to believe that the
Democrats, under the venerable but gal
liant Allen, will come out victorious.
The election will take place in October
next.
Ohio has been a State in which both
the great parties have always put forth
most vigorous eXcrtiOns. Since the Or
ganization OF the Republican party, the
Republicans maintained control of the
State until William Allen rose up. but
the Democrats, undismayed by defeat,
always returned with great gallantry to
the charge, and finally Won triumph
that promises to be permanent.
A brief glance at the political history
Of Ohio will not be unintercsting at thi.
time. In 1852 Ohio was carried for Gen.
eral Pierce by plurality of 1864; but
from that time down to the GubcrnatO-
rial election of 1873, the elections were
one nnbroken series of triumphs for I'll,
Republicans, with the single exception Of
the election by a small majority of n Dem
ocralic Secretary of State in 1862. La 1872
General Grant carried the State by ma
jority of 81, 2Gs over all but in the sue
cecding year Governor Allen broke tn,
prestige of Republican successes, defeat
ing Noycs, his Republican opponent
by plurality of only sl7 il

rate effort will be made by the Republic
cans Mt the approaching election to re
trieve their rcvcrses, which will, ofcourse
be as strenuonsly combated by the De
mocracy, and the result may, aud proba

ease and plenty. A very good start was
made in grain raising by our farmers just
before the war, and in 1860, If we mistake
not, this immediate section shipped q
100000 bushels to Memphis, of which
Gates, Wood & Co. handled not less
than 100000 bushels. 1t is certain that
the crop this year will be larger, and as
for quality, 1t could not be finer.

ALABAMA'S DEBT

In 1861 the public debt of Alabama
was only 1872 1853, or one and one-half
per cent. Of the value of the private
property in the State, (Si95, 277 ,O7s) cx-
elusive Of slaves. The valuation Of the
same property for 1875 is $3.50, 600, 600
1886 ,0O0. 900 less than in ls6l--but the
public debt has increased 10 S32 1000, 600,
or twenty per cent. of all the property in
the State. Of this vast debt the sum of
$13,473,900 Is counted rs "straight"
debt, the balance being "ralroad'' debt
and accumulated interest.
