Is Grant to Stand Above Wash

! n 1nS WI.
No man has ever yet lived whom
the American people were willing to
make their President a third time.
While it is to the peculiar credit of
Washington that at the close of his
second term he voluntarily retired
from public life, we believe, at the
same time, it is generally conceded,
as an historical fact, to have been
very questionable whether he could be
elected a third time. A frequent re-
turn of power to people from whom it
is derived was a doctrine in which
the founders of the republic devoutly
believed; because they considered it
the only sure way to guard the liber-
ties Of the people against encroach-
ments. io tq $3.50 4
Rotation in office is rather an ele-
mentary principle in our system of
government than watchword of any
political party.
The second President of the Uait-
ed States, John Adams, one of the
most eloquent and fiery of all the
original apostles of liberty, was al
lowed to retain the office only for q
single term.
Jefferson, the author of the Declar-
alton of Independence, did not at
tempt to run a third time. retiring
in an honest poverty which added to
the glory of his great name.
Madison, than whom perhaps no
man did more in establishing our sys-
tenn of self-government, followed the
example of his illustrious predeces-
sors in declining to be candidate
for third term.
So did Monroe, although there was
so little of party spirit in his time
that it was called the era of good feel
ing. r 5000
John Quincy Adams was warned
on entering into office, that, though
his administration were as pure as
the angels around the throne Of God,
it must terminate at the end of four
years; and it did.
Andrew jackson was backed by
party Of devoted admirers, who insist
ed on running him for third term;
but, with some show of indigna-
ton at the bare idea, Old Hickory
put his foot down firmly and said
No.
Grant has already served two terms.
Now it proposed to elect him to a
third, to place him above the mighty
men who laid the foundations of the
Government, above Washington him
self!
Shall it be done?-N. Y. SIN.

bruises, as testified by surgeon, might
have produced unconsciousness, but
not death. There were several ofthem,
of different sizes and shapes and on
different parts of the face. Her shawl
was found ON the bank. After a
searching inquiry for all the attainable
facts, the jury found that 'Rhoda Slime
came to her death by drowning during
a temporary uuconsciousness caused by
wounds on the head and face, but how
said wounds were received, or by what
means the decreased was placed in the
water, from the facts developed in this
examination, the jury were unable to
decide. "-JdcksOn Herald,

The Presidents veto opens the way,
wide and clear, to popular Demo
cratic victory in 1880. Congress call
ed upon him to accept the principle
of free and honest elections uncloud-
ed and uncoerced by the exhibition
of Federal bayonets at the polls.
This principle he refuses to accept
under the cover of formal objections
for the most part captious, unsound
aud irrelevant. Let Congress now
strip away the cover by its own con
sentative action and leave the refusal
naked in all its political deformity
to be judged by the people. The
principle contended for by Congress
should be presented to the President
again at once in form which shall
leave him no choice between a com
plete acceptance of it and fiat re-
lection of it. The repeats contained
in the Legislative Appropriation bill
also should now be presented at once
to him separately. Under no tempta-
ton, under no proyocation let Con-
gress now adjourn without making
all the appropriation necessary to
carry on the Government. Repre-
senting the majority of the American
people, Congress must see to it that
the wheels of the public administra-
ton are kept smoothly and steadily
in motion; and if the President of a
factious and mischievous minority,
under the guidance Of evil counsel
lors, insists upon obstructing with
his veto legislative repeats in harmony
with all the great precedents of the
history of freedom, let the issues that
he makes be taken by the Democratic
party calmly and fearlessly before the
tribunal of the people in all the States
of the Union.

Estate Democrat.l

The principle of law upon which
the interference or presence of troops
at the polls is forbidden is as old as
the days of Edward /, in the British
common law, and was enacted into a
statute in the eighth year of the reign
of Geoge II. The statute was re-
enacted in the tenth year of Queen
Victoria's reign. The English people
are all of one party in this matter,
and are not willing to imperil their
liberties in the pursuit of partisan
ends. a

The country at present, except tn

The country at present, except the
contest going on in the halls of Con-
gress, is enjoying a period ofpclitical
quiet. The people are giving but lit
tie attention to politics and have
scarcely thought of the contest that
little more than a year hence will
shake the country to its very centre.
During this quiet it is the duty of the
national Democratic leaders rs well
as local Democratic officers to pre-
pare for the campaign of 1880. 1t is
not too soon to begin that organiza
ton without which success can never
be attained If the principles of the
Democratic party are to be maintain
ed; if the existence of constitutional
government in this country is to be
perpetuated; if the freedom of the
ballot is to be guaranteed to Ameri-
can citizens, we believe it must be
done by the great Democratic party,
the party of the masses, the party
that wants freedom for ALL the party
that is opposed to the use of troops
at the polls, the party that wants the
laborer, who is Gods nobleman, to
be the peer of the rich man. The
Democratic party has been dominant
in this state for number of years
and is getting careless to some ex-
tent, and imperative duty demands
thorough organization. There is
some dissatisfaction in different
places that should be healed. If in
dividuals are to engage in private en-
terprises regardless of the party, de-
feat is sure to follow In our own
County, all that is needed is thorough
organization and harmonious action.
With these, Monongalia county will
in the next campaign fall completely
into the hands of the Democratic par
ty. Reference to these matters has
before been made in these columns
and we think it our duty to impress
them upon our readers. 1t seems to
as that our Executive Committee
should hold frequent consultations
and have clearly defined line Of ac-
ton marked out, and the work of the
next eighteen months outlined While
in some instances the Democratic
party has permitted unworthy men
to get control of its machinery and
run it for their personal advantage
and not the public good, it has within
it the elements to correct these abuses
and will doit. 1t will administer the
merited rebuke to men of this class.
Let the good men, the solid intelli-
gent men of the party, the men to
whom party is the means of securing
good government and not personal
advantages step forward and assert
themselves and we will have party
worthy of the success it will be sure
to attain.

The Mission of the Democratic
Party.

One of tue Senators who believes in
the subordination of the military to
the civil authority, honest juries and
fair elections, closed his argument on
the Army bill by asserting that the
constant intermeddling by the general
Government with the private affairs Of
citizens tended to dishearten patriot
ism and encourage acquiescence in
Capitalization. The people were their
own sovereigns, and this question
would not be finished here but would
be taken up by the people and kept
alive until their full rights were re-
stored to their hands. Senators and
Representatives are State officers
and not Federal officers. If they re-
sign they do SO by letter to the
Governor, not to the President
Therefore, the Federal Government
had nothing to do with their cleo
ton. 1t was State affair. The
mission of the Democratic party was
to restore the supremacy of the civil
over military power and set up again
the boundaries between the preroga-
tives of the State and National Gov
enment which had been thrown down.
The war had established some facts.
1t freed the negro and demonstrated
the fact that the majority of the peo-
pie were determined that the Union of
States should be perpetuated. Beyond
this, it gave the Government no new
right nor took any away from the
States. His party intended to observe
the Constitution in its present form
and all other observation-disclosures Of
Liberty.

The country is anxiously waiting
to see what Congress will do since
Hayes has vetoed the Army bill. The
answer rests with the Democratic
members. 1t is not expected they
shall back down, or yield their posi-
tion in any degree. They should not
let the fraudulent President bull
doze them into measures that are
directly opposed to their ideas OF
right and constitutional law. The
World says the Presidents veto
opens the way wide and clear to q
popular Democratic victory in 1880.
Under no temptation, under no provo
cation, let Congress now adjourn
without making all appropriations
necessary to carry on the govern.

The Next Censns.
[Buckhannon Banner

As the census will be taken next
year and it is universally conceded
that it will increase the Representation
in Congress, it may be that the Re
publican party is encouraging emigra-
ton from the Southern negroes so as
to decrease the representation in the
Democratic states, and increase it in
the Republican ones, and by this
means regain lost power.

According to the statistics Of the
advertising agencies, the entire cir
eulation Of agricultural newspapers
is about six hundred thousand. The
census reports show 100000 farm
ers in the United States. Is it any

Last Tuesday two conventions as
sembled in southern cities-Vicks-
burg and Nashville-to consider the
southern labor question and the fur
ther exodus of the negroes to the
northern states. The more intelli-
gent colored men strongly oppose the
emigration of the colored people from
the South. Senator Bruce, the color
ed Senator from Mississippi says the
exodus would work industrial embar-
rassment to the South, but still great
er personal hardships to the emigrants
themselves.

CHARLESTON, May 1.-The Potomac
and Ohio Railroad has been paying
off this week, which has placed be-
yond a doubt that the road is not q
humbue as many persons were wont
to believe. A reporter accompanied
by Mr.. ]. Mccain, the supelinten-
dent, went over the route to Jarrett S
Ford, to which place the road is near
ly completed. We were informed
that rolling stock wonld be placed on
it by the 10th inst. A large force Ct
hands are work and the road is being
rapidly pushed through, and the con
nection with the Clarksburg and
Weston road will be made this year.
This will place the future Capital in
direct railroad connection with all
parts of the State.

 Hardy is busy running a tunnel for Fair field. The work is kept up night and day.
 The prospects are most ifAstering for the starting up oi the Blackberry mine and mill. The mine is good. Management on this fine property has been most @cussed-
 Hope is entertained that the Signal mine and mill will again be worked under new and better management, and as the cost of everything has been so materially reduced during two years, the thing ought, and we believe will succeed. IL looks strange that this property should have got such black eye. They had ore in abundance, but it was said to be low grade, and yet is In evidence that some of the ore was rich enough to pay for stealing and pack 9 miles away for smelling.
