President GRANTS letter to General
WHITE is a significant and peculiar speci
men of literature The assurances tele-
graphed from Washington that the orig.
inal is in GRANr's own hand writing. were
wholly unnecessary. u. S. GRANT; his
mark, is spread all over it, and theillshu.
NOR provoked by the snubbing received
from his party in Pennsylvania, .opzes in
its every paragraph.
That the letter should be drawn out by
the Pennsylvania declaration against a
third term, is not the least of the drolle-
ries connected with it. South Catolina
endorsed him for third term, but he re-
mained serenely silent; yet when the sec
ond State in the Union tells him emphati-
cally that he shall not haveit whether he
wants II or not, he promptly and spiteful-
ly replies that he never asked for it:
While be probably did not write what
he intended, his hopes and fears can east
ly be gathered from what he has written.
His idea might be formulated in this
way: If Ican't getit I never wanted it,
but the very best thing the people can do
is to force me take it.
He argues with awkward strength
against all the objections urged to his
having a third term The enlarges upon the
sacrifices he made in accepting the office
in the first place; and then coquettishly
adds that be would only accept. in order
to save the country. 'sl1
Now, nobody knows so well as GRANT
that the country always needs saving ;
that thereis but one man who can make
more than half-hand at saving the eoun
try and GRANT knows exactly who that
mani is. So, gentlemen,if you want your
country saved some more, Barkis is will
lin; butif you want to cut off my rations,
the whole ungrateful gang of you can go
to Halifax, and Ill go to Long Branch
and the faithful bosom of Boss SHEp.

Hayes Nominated far governor.

nay eS N NOtnlnhteO s0f Governor.
The Republicans of this State have
nominated Ex-Governor X. B. HAYES as
their candidate for Governor General
HAYES is gentleman OF fair abililies,and
was respectable Governor.
We very sincerely congratulate the
party on this nomination, not, so much
because of what they have obtained as
what they have escaped. Judge TAFT
was the principal competitor of HAYES,
and we would have regarded it as nothing
less thar public misfortune for any
great body of people to have been forced
to endorse Judge TAFT e
TAFT was the candidate of the Cincin-
natl Commercial, and is understood to
represent the Lax notions of religion and
morals so often manifest in the sneers
and jeers of that paper. These very no
tions, presented in attractive phrases,
were urged as evincing his availability, so
that to vote for him would, disappearance
at least, have been an endorsement of his
lieentious creed His defeati in the Con-
vention is therefore a proper subject for
congratulatdn.
TAFT was the candidate Of those who
sought victory at any price. His failure,
as well as the selection Of HAYES, may
justly be regarded as an admission that
the Republican leaders will not be taken
much by surprise if they fall q little short
of CARRYING Ohio this Fall. -

Indianapolis Journal

If there were in Ohio or elsewhere any
Republicans who really believed that the
third-term sensation had any real founda-
tion, those timid, apprehensive spirits
may now restin peace. President Grant
is not a candidate for denomination. He
can not renominate himself if he would,
and would not if ne could.

DEMOCRATIC.
(St. Louis Times.)

It will be seen that he declines posi-
lively to accept denomination if tender.
ed him, unless it should strike him as s'an
important duty" to do otherwise. The
general tone of the letter, however, ere
ates the impression that it wouldn't re.
quire much coaxing to get him on the
track again. The public interests require
him now quite as much as they did in '6S
or'72.

REVIVAL NOTES.
Services Yesterday and a Great Meet
ing Last Sight.

The order of The evangelical meetings
now observed is: Noon prayer meeting in
the First Presbyterian ChWch: services in
the Fisl Cumberland Presbyterian Church
aJ =. NJ. and grand union meeting at the
Exposition building a. T. Nall under
conduct Of IGssTs. Whiliie * Bliss. The
pastors Of various churches We believe, still
hold inquiry meetings at T.. NJ.
This was The order of the
religious work yesterday and no former
day witnessed more successful meetings.
The interest in the evangelical labOrs un-
dgubtedly continues TO increase. The feel
ing which now peWades the community
with reference to them may be truly de
sTibed as widespread and profound.
Last night the spacious tabernacle of the
union meetings was crowded from east TO
west and north 10 south. Afer the throng
were seated UneNcepiiOHa5le good order
prevailed throughout the enclosure till the
end Of the services.
Two ur tbueG hymns were sung by the
audience, including the choir and Mr..
Bliss, and Mir. White rose and taking for his
text, "IhIs Jesus hath God raised up.
whereof we all are witnesses" (ACis 2-32),
delivered one OF his b,st addresses.
As a piece of reasoning il was as
Co-cnt and conclusive as any that has
fallen from his lips upon the ears Of a
Nashville multitude. The character oftIe
Witnesses referred to in the text, was
held mp as an utter preciusiOH of the pos
sibiiity Of a mistake or falSehoUd as 90 the
resurrection and ascension Of Christ.
In view Of tie uuC1njrOyertible testimony,
the Speaker appealed to his hearers to
take mo- middle ground in The matter Of sal
Walton; either boldly accept Christ or with
equal bOldnesS reject him. What the ApOs-
ties attcsled was either the most tremeI-
dous truth ever revealed TO the world, or
the most tremendous falsehOOd.
At the close Of this exhortation, Mr..
Bliss made a few remarks and sang very
aiItctiugly "Wbere Are the Nine" and
almost Persuaded Now to Believe
Upon the dismissal of the audience an in
quiry meeting was held in the con
sultali0n room and very many Of
the audience repairedto McKeEdree Church,
where services also took place. In passing
from the Exposition building TO McKendree
Chucl, q large number of young men,
headed by Mr.. Bliss, engaged in singing
hymns. Their line Of march was through
Vine street, from Broad to Church.
