Grant Unmasks.

The mask L. Lifting and the face OF
the third term" begins clearly To ap
pear. Only II few months ago Presi
dent Grant, goaded- into speech by the
action of the Pennsylvania Republic
cans, who then despaired of success,
made this o-acular utterance as to his
views upon this great question::
''Now for the third term. l do not
want it any more than l did at first.
/ would not write or utter word to
change the will of the people in ex-
pressing and having their choice. The
question of the number of terms al
lowed to any one Executive can only
come up fairly in the shape Of a prop"-
siiion to amend the CONSTITUTIONAL
shape ia which all political parties can
participate, fixing the length of time or
the number of terms for which any one
person shall be eligible for the office of
President. Until such an amendment
is adopted the people cannot be re-
stricted in their choice by resolution
further than they are restricted as to
age, nativity, &c. 1t may happen in
the future history of the country that
tn change an Executive because he has
been eight years in Office will prove
unfortunate if not disastrous. The
idea that any man could elect himself
President, or even renominate himself,
is prepnsterOus. 1t is reflection upon
the intelligence aud patriotism of the
people t., suppose such a thing. Any
man can destroy his chances for the of
fee, but no one can force an election OF
even a nomination.
"To recapitulate. 1 am not, NOR
have ever been, a candidate for re-
nomination. I would not accept a
nomination if it were rendered, unless
it should come under such cireumstan-
ces as to make it an imperative duty
circumstances not likely to arise"
Only a few weeks ago at Des Moines
President Grant delivered himself, OBJ
vionsly under the inspiration ofAttor-
ney General PierrepoBt, of his belief
that something had "happened in the
history of the country to make it dis
astrous to change an Executive, be-
cause he had-been eight years in of
fee, that something being the oppor-
tunity of organizing religious cru
SADIE against all Americans who accept
the Pope of Rome as the head of the
ecclesiastical body to which they be-
long.
And now the Pennsylvania Repnbli-
cans, having carried an election
through the folly of the infiatiouists.
appear and announce through their or.
gan, Forney's Chronicle, their readi-
ness to eat the resolutions which they
formerly passed against a third term
and to accept President Grant as the
nominee of their party next year:
The master ofeighty thousand Office
holders, welding the compact power
Of his party in every Democratic State,
in which the deliberate voice of the
people as pronounced against them,
feels himself strong enough, with the
help of the colruptionists in those
States which are unhappily still Re-
publican, to force the nomination he
desires IN. Y. World.

with them on what they are engaged
on and hope to do. The Captain ],
now in Germany making arrange
ments for little trip of three hun
dred miles down the Rhine from
Switzerland to Rotterdam he pro
noses soon to try without leaving the
water during his journey; and al
though this seems an almost impos,
sible feat to accomplish, it would
hardly be safe in these times to pre-.
diet that it could not be done. Mr.
Mprriman is now on his way back to
America to see if he cannot get the
dress more extensively adopted, and
certainly it or one Of the same kind
should be taken up and used by all
the steamship lines and humane
societies. s
He has already some agreement for
supplying our Navy Department with
them, and from this beginning he
wishes and expects to have its adj
yantages seen and availed of by 9th
ers. At the meeting of the "Associ-
alton for the Reform and Codifcation
Of the Law of Nations" just held at
The Hague, one of the topics before
the conference was "greater safety at
sea-" and the Committee appointed
to work up the subject in all its bear
ings and report at its next meeting
are TO consider, among other points,
what kind of life. preserving dress
can most advantageously be adopted
By steamship companies for passen-

satisfied with the present means at

Something better, both in the way
Of boats or RATS, as we'll as dress or

greatly to be desired, and public opin-
ion ought to force the Companies to
carry them, which would be done by
having laws passed to give no ship a
commission until properly supplied.
The two Captains, Boyton and Webb,
are important characters here now,
and their photographs can be seen in
all the shop windows. Apropos of
their relative exploits, an American
lady not long ago, | hear, made

Accidents.

Mr.. John IIeiser, from the neigh
borhood Of Cloyd's Creek Church,
lower portion of this county, was in
town Thursday and informed us that
a son, II Years of age, of Mr., VIM.
Cruise, was killed by lightning during
thunder storm Tuesday last. Mr..
Cruise and son were building fence :;
the son picked up rail and set it up
against tree, and the lightning struck
the tree, killing the boy instantly.
On the morning of the 9th ult., an
infant of Mr.. and Mrs. Mcclure, who
lives about two miles above Rockford,
was found dead in the bed. The baby
was in good health when its parents
retired to bed on the evening before ::
during the night it awakened one
time and then, as the mother sup
posed, went to sleep. 1t is not known
what caused its death, but a veno-
nous spider was found in the bed next
morning, and one cheek Of the dead
babe was swollen. As this was the
only child of the couple their grief was
most nrnfOund --AfaryUHc Republicans

from all appointment in the country
the horse he was riding attempte TO
make Il turn on Il smooth, flat rock
when his feet suddenly slipped from
under him, throwing him on his left
side. Mr.. Caldwell's left leg was
caught under the horse and his knee
badly bruised. BY assistance ne was
able TO mount his horse and ride home,
some five miles, though suffering
greatly. His physician, DR.. Vance,
thinks that the small bone of the leg
was broken loose from the great bone
at the knee. We trust he may speedily
recover.-BriStOL Courier.

occasioned 10y raid made upon them

pistols, which they fired promiscuous-

women and children, one of the latter
being slightly wounded by one of the
shots. AS though anticipating an at
tack, the besieged seemed to be quite
prepared, and getting their guns into
position, opened "a fusiade on the
