come proverb. In our own country
century ago the same complaints were
loudly made that are made now OF the dis-
honesty Of both public officials and private
citizens, and eminent patriots expressed
their apprchensions of national dcstruc-
ton from the prevailing avarice and rapa-
city. Right here in WORK, too, there was,
nfty years ago, the same cutlery that there
is now aga INST extravaganza and corrup-
ton In the city government, and express
sions OF the need of reform TO prevent
ruin.
All this, indeed, does not diminish the
guilt of contemporary plunderers of
the public and bctrayeIs OF the trust
committed 10 them. Nor should 1t oo-
casion the least relaxation Of effort on
the part of honest men to convict and
punish the offenders. A thief Is none the
less thief because there have been other
thieves before him; nor is there any the
less necessity for citizens 10 insist on pure
administration of our Government be-
cause other governments have been COR
rupt. But 1t is some comfort TO know that
we are not the FIRST sufferers, and that
while some nations have persisted under
similar Affections, others have survived
and now give evidence OF healthy life.

GRANTS THIRD-TERM SCHEME.
Who are Working Tor him and wba, they
Expect TO do.

On last evening Times reporter cam
in contact with a gentleman who has the CONF
denCe OF Grants relatives In New York, lnclud-
ing his mother, his brother Orvill, and his
brother-in-law Corbin, &c, and who but few
days since spent an evening with them, during
which the entire situation was oanvassed In q
confidential way.
AS you are intimately acquainted with thoeo
supposed to be in Grants confidence, you have
had peculiar advantages for forming an opinion
AZ to whether he Is or IA not candidate for .
third term" suggested the reporter.
"You may state, without equivocation or fear
OF successful contradiction, that the intinafe
political friends Of Grant expect him tn be the
nominee of the Republican Convention. They
have the most positive assurances from him that
he will accept the nomination In case there II a
probability Of his being elected
had been inclined TO believe that Grant did
not desire the nomination."
"iou have been mslcd. lie IL not only Wall
ing but anxious To receive it,"
us he working for IT,
mo; not individually, a. that would hin him :
stand that In case they are satisfied that he Is
strong enough TO pun through. he Will aocep'
the nomination"
who are the intimate friends OF the Presl.
dent in whom rcposcs this trust -
lone OF them Is Murphy, ex-Collector OF New
York; Dlnsmore, the exprCssman is another,
and John HOey II another. These men are all
Ou tho most intimate terms with Griult, AMI thcy
are laying the plans Tor his denomination.
"Tncy certainly cannot hope for his election.
"They not only hope for II but they arc Vonl-
dent OF securing II, and actually believe that
they Will"

There ought to be no delay, on the part
OF Brother MOODY, in making known the
ground Of the prediction with which no
has repeatedly alarmed his hearers of late,
that this country is about to be overtakcn
by some great calamity. He proclaimed
his opinions about It with particular en-
phasis in his sermon of Wednesday night.
Speaking OF the revival of 1867 and '5s, he
referred TO the great war which subse-
quently broke out. and then went on thus:
alt THE varl was great calamity, and came right
home 10 the heart Of the nation. We are Just now,
ieve that We are even now on the eve OF Just such
upon ,his nation sssn Grace always preeeees jade
NJ n,e. A great revival l. IN progrc,s az over me
the porunlty was spurncd, Jerusalem and me coun.
Try touA no heed 70 iher Nd sooh IIus appeared
100000 ueople pcrishcd. An along In the history
iamty has iai4cn upon the q ~ there has been reIt
Gay o. grace, oneriLg salvation " those who Will Ac-
Is II to be supposed that the Hippodrome
revivalist is merely trying to frighten
people into religion by such predictions as
thesei Are they got of for sensational
effooti II so, their improperly must be
evident, even TO his own mind, when he
thinks over them, in the light of his con-
science, at his leisure. All the utterances
OF man who addresses such vast multi
tudes Of people daily should be serious and
we'll considered. II he have any ground
for his predictions, 1t should be made
known, so that we may tell whether they
are weighty or trivial. When the Hebrew
prophets OF old times foretod the events
that would come TO pass, they referred
those who questioned tho authority OF
their revelations TO the Divinity in whose
name they spoke; aud If Brother MOODY
should take this course in regard TO his
revelations, no would doubtless impress:
many peoples minds. Itappears from hii
biography that he believes miracles art
wrought IN these times, and we learned
when he was in Brooklyn that he is n be
lever in the Second Advent. Perhaps ht
also believes that the prophetic power still
exists in the minds OF some people, or tina
he himself is endowed with the gift O
prophecy. II this be so. The Hippodrom'
audiences, to whom he addresses suol
