Tne Organs Explanation OF the
Letter.

The proper time has arrived, and sc-
knowedgei authority has spoken regard
ing the third term question, and PresI-
dent Grant has written the most import
ant letter of public career, declaring that
he i not II candidate for denomination.
1t will be read with more interest and
deeper concern by the American people
than any political document ever writ
ten. lii firm and dignifed explanation
of his silence regarding this matter will
not surprise those who understand the
character OF II 'man who has habit
ualed himself and whose experience
has taught him t. rely upon his own
methods, and whose greatest successes
have been won as the result of quiet in
dependence of thought and discreet self
Independence. Otherwise the letter Is
uniquely characteristic, and remarkable
;or the absence of clap-trap and the ordI-
nary rhetoric subLcriuges of politicians.
Even the argument that the people alono
ar" all powerful in the selection of their
Officials and that no constitutional pro-
hIbitiun exists to prevent them from
-lrcling President ior third term Is
ConciscIv put in such Way Ms 10 show
that it ha, no personal application, but
l. U,ei as an answer TO
the SANDERS Of his enemies. To his
| mind it appears that no man can control
hi, own political future except to destroy
, il. and ~ one man, however powerful,
can dictate MS own personal advance
ment either to his party or to his coun-
try at large. He admits, however, what
every loyal man has often felt, that emer-
gencics might arise which would render
! II imperatIvclv necessary that a Presl-
| dent should be reelected for q third
term, while contemplating the condition
/ OF affairs which would have existed if
President Lincoln had lived and the
/ war had lasted until the end of
his second term. No one will deny
| the soundness OF this deduction, but he
adds very polntedly that such emergen-
/ cics are not now probable. In this he
simply defends the rights Of the people
| by showing their power TO thwart the
! schemes of ambitious men and their au-
| thorlty To select their own rulers in ac-
cordance vIth Constitutional limits.
There NAV be those vino will maliCiously
construe this defense to mean something
more than plain Interpretation of the
words used will indicate, but he can a
ford under the circumstances to suffer
further misrepresentation. In fact he
expects it as the natural result of the dis
pointment which the letter will give to
one class of his enemies and the exulta-
tion of another class. who will boast that
he has been forced by them to speak
against the Indications of his own heart

The Value of Royton's Experiment.

As we anticipated yesterday Taul
Boytons voyage across the English chan
mel was complete success, which has its
practical side us well as its physical tri-
umph. The Contriyance by means OF
which he was able to float on the water
for twenty-three hours and traverse the
whole distance from Cape Grisnez to
Folkestone was simple dress ofindia rub
Der, capable of being inflated ut the will
ofthe wearer. II will thus be seen that 1t
serves all the purposes of lite raft, while
it may be brought within the reach OF
every person going to sea. We can see
no reason why il should not become an
indispensable life saving appliance and
be a part of the outfit of every vessel, in
stead of the clumsy and Intellectual life
preservcrS now carried o. passenger
ships. The simplicity Of the dress and
the ease with which 1t is adjusted are in
themselves strong arguments In favor oi
its adoption, and Mr.. Boy
ton has proved It's practiea.
bility by the ease with which he made
hi, long Journey across the Channel. If
even part of the expectations which
are naturally to be INDUCED on account
OF his success are fulfilled, Shipwrecks
will lose much of their terror in being
stripped of great part of their dangers.
Where a boat or life raft could not live
for n moment, 1t seems quite possible that
n person wearing one of these dresses,
would float until the fury of the sea
should subside sufficiently to allow him
TO be rescued. 1t is not even required
that the wcarer should be able to swim,
/ because the buovancy Of the dress rem
. ders the movements of the swimmer un-
necessary. Perhaps the practical tests to
which the cOutrivanCe must be put In
! less experienced hands than Mr.. Boy
tons may not bear out all
/ these aEticiprtions, but 1t Is
SO simple, 80 inexpensive and
promises such important results hitherto
considered almost unattainable, that we
are disposed TO give it trial that will
test its merits to the fullest extent. If it
is found 10 b0 AS useful in the hands Of
others as Mr.. Boyton has shown it to be
in his own the problem OF life saving
apparatu, for passenger ships may be re-
garded as solved in way that will give
satisfaction as well n insure safety

LONDON, June !, $50 A. M.-The
Aberdeen Iron Company has failed
with liabilities of E7500OO. Their nomi-
nal assets are estimated at G980, 900. This

Judgment for the Pacific r. X.

WASHINGTON, May sl.-The Court of
Claims, to-day, gave its opinion in the
case of the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany. The suit was brought to recover
one-half of the amount earned for Gov

vanceS when the subsidy bonds mature.
The Court gave Judgment for the com
pany in the sum of $4,000, and ordered
that the counter claim Of the defendants

provisions of IN act of July lst, 1863,
The act OF July 18th, 1864, or any other
act Of Congress or otherwise,
and further that the claimant Is

peearation Day In New York.

New YORK, May 3l.-The observance
of decoration day, WAS yesterday, begun
in BROOKLYN by services in the afternoon,
at the Lincoln statue. Memorial services
were also held in Calvery Cemetery,
where Rev. Sylvester Malone, pastor
of the church of St. Peter and Paul,
Williamson pronounced an eloquent
Grafton. To-day the various posts OF the
Grand Army began to assemble at an
early hour in Union Square, where they
formed in procession. The statue OF
Washington in Union Square was deco
rated with evergreens, which were
stretched in festoons from the bronze
figure to the railing surrounding the pc
destaI. The procession began to
move down Broadway at about
twenty minutes past ten o'clock 1t was
formed in FIVE divisions, headed by a
squad of police. The Skidmore Guards
tcolored turned out with full ranks and
attracted much attention. Wagons filled
with flowers we're distributed throughout
the procession, and the tattered battle
flags born by many veteran companies
were frequently applauded along the
route, which was thickly lined with
spectators. The chimes OF Grace and
Trinity churches were rung as the pro-
ccssion passed The monuments OF Gen
eral Richard Montgomery at st: Paul
Church and General kearny at Trinity
were decorated during the march down
Broadway. The line Of march Was to
the South Ferry, whence the posts OF the

MEMPHIS, May 3l.-The graves of the
Union soldiers at the National Cemetery
were decorated to-day. About 1000 peo-
nle were in attendance, more than half
of whom were ex-COnfederateS. There
WAS no parade beyond the appearance
of the Chickasaw guards and the IRISH
volunteers of the State guards in full
uniform. who stacked their guns near
the stand which was tastefully decorated
with flowers, magnolia blossoms and
evergreens. Prominent in front
was large cross composed Of rare
flowers, presented by number
of Confederates. The assembIage
was called to order by Judge Irving
Halsev, who, introduced Hon, Hosea
Townsend, the orator of the day, who
made m eloquent and appropriate ad-
dress referring to the presence of the
e1 .Coniederates. He was followed by
Col. Trumbuil, an ex-Federal with an
original poem; then General Patton
made brief and appropriate reply.
Among the Prominent e1 Confederates
were Generals Forrest Pillow and A. j.
Vaughn, and Ex-Governor lshsm &,
Harris and large number Of regimental
commanders. THE courts Of the city
were adjourned in observance
of the day and most Of the Judicial
officers attended the ceremonies. Every
thing passed of nicely, and without an
accident to mar the era of good feeling
which the ceremonies of last Monday and
to-day have produced, and will be long
remembered by those who participated
in doing honor to the dead of both ar
mics. One feature of the day, was the
small number of colored people in sttend-
ance as compared with similar occasions
heretofore, but which perhaps was attrib-
utable 10 the fact that the committee de-
termined last week 10 have no general
parade.

PITTSBURGH, May 2l.-President Gar

when interviewed in Chicago, few days
since, was reported to have said that the
Postmaster General had written TO the
effect, that if the Pennsylvania railroad
did not carry the mails in the Baltimore
X Ohio cars over their New York diyi-
