GENERAL GRANT AS AN ARBITRATOR.
From the cincinnati tohio, commerciAl--rcp

r1IH1tf VO1fl07 7CVHrrHcrCfH1-rVp.1
II General Grant, who does not desire o third
term. should take upon himself the Office OF mutual
friend between contending States, he would put an
end to the traditional belief that after . man has
served his country for term two In its highest
Office there nothing tor him 10 do but retire aud
become the representative OF past honors and dgni
ties fosslizing the pondcrous respcc given
him by the great Office he held. As tho viceroy
of China remarked to him, General Grant is yet
comparatively young man. His travels abroad
since his retirement from the Presidential
chair have brought him IN contact with the
rulers the princes aud the statesmen of evory civ
II Lied nation Of the Old World. and made him
acquainted with their political aud social systems.
their wants and ambitions A third term could not
add grain 20 the measure Of his fame. All that
hope to achieve officially in military or civil
he has enjoyed. But there IL abundant OPP
porunty for him to give the later years OF his life
additional greatness by tho influence he can exert
upon the affairs OF nations Ia the interests Of uni.
versal peace.

THE RIGHT KIND OF TALK.

From the Wilmington IN. CO. Star-dem.l
We glad to hear the General talk after this
style. He has received more honors ut home and
abroad than were ever extended to any other Amer
lean. Lot hin live in and retirement the re-
mainder OF his days. 1t would be u shameful com
mentary upon the people ut largo and upon pub
lie men IL Grant should be compelled to be n candi-
date The ples of the stalwarts Is that he alone
equal to the task of governing our country. dis
graceful and slanderous plea every way.
The New York herald., 1879-08-25

From the Washington ID. O. Republicsn-rep.l
II General Grant had been really intriguing for the
Presidency an unprncipled ofice-seeker. such as
the democratic press describes him to be. he would
not have made the declaration no did regarding the
Chinese question. There nothing OF the design
ing politician in that declaration, for the who
uttered 1t knew that it would make him unpopular
throu ughout our entire Pacific slope section. But
there is very little in discussing this question
now that he is out OF the racethat In, far
his act OF refusing denomination can make
him.

TAKEN FOR GRANTED.

From the Baltimore (Md.) Bulletin-dem.]
It is strange how little interest is manifested in
the announcement of the New York HERALD that
General Grant has determined not to be candidate
for the Presidency.

From the Lowell (Mass) Mail-rep.]
General Grants views on the question Of renom-

wise. we believe. to permit himself to again be
brought forward as q candidate tor the high office
which he never sought but twice held. He should
be taken ut his word and be let alone.

ANXIOUS TO HAVE HIM RUN

From the Buffalo IN. " Courier-dem.]
We do not believe that any OF Mr. Grants political
friends will accept the reported remarks q posi-
tive refusal his part again to become candidate
for the Presidency. II they do not his opponents
are not in q position to put such construction

A LITTLE DOUBTFUL.

From the Harrisburg tPa) Patriot-dem.l
It may in the near future develop that the Grant
declination is merely expedient to revive the
waning boom, and that the New YORK HERALD will
be tho unsuspecting medium OF giving it gratuitous
adver rtisement. Stranger things have happened.

HIS POSITION DEFINED.

From the Chicago Il.) Journal-rep.l
The frankness and simplicity OF these uttersnces
are characteristics of General Grant, and there would
appear be doubt the conversation occurred
substantially as reported aud that the position
therein taken by General Grant Is the which he
desires to occupy before the American people.

HEIsKELL STATION, Sept. 8, 1879.
Mr.. EDITOR: We had the pleasure
of attending Sunday School jubilee,
of considerable interest. at Conner's
Chapel, near this place, on the 9th
inst. II was gala day for the lovers
of the Sunday School cause. First on
the programme YVES the procession,
which was large aud we'll conducted
one. consisting of about two hundred
persons. After the procession had
reached the ground, from beautifully
decorated stand, Judge J. f. J. Lewis,
of Knoxville, delivered very anus
ing yet instructive address. The
Judges familiar way of putting things
renders his addresses very acceptable
with the people. On this occasion he
was in his liveliest mood, and his pro-
duction was highly appreciated, es-
pecially by the ladies, as he paid them
q very beautiful compliment. We
have no idea though that the Judge
did so expecting thereby to receive the
better attention of the ladies at the
supper which was soon to be served by
them.
The supper came next and was No.
l. The best the country affords was
there in superabundance served in ex-
cellent style by gallant gents and fair
laties. After an hour spent in various
eDjoyments the crowd, now number
ing about 500, was called together by a
splendid piece of music by the band.
Then we had music by the chair fol-
lowed by prayer by Rev. A. J. Rob-
ests. Mr.. G.. M. Reed delivered the
address of welcome in happy, and an
appropriate response was made by
Prof. Ed. T.. Patterson. | -~-
The band now furnished music,
after which Mr.. J. NJ. Heaton enter
tanned the audience with spicy adj
dress on Sunday Schools. The choir
sang a piece, and Mr.. p. M. Hoskins
addressed US on "The Gins of our
youth and how they may be saved from
them.n
After another piece of music Pro :.
Ed. l.. Patterson spoke upon, "How
to Prepare and Teach Sunday School
Lesson" He suggested more atten-
ton by both teacher and scholar, and
impressed Us with the importance oil

Then, after music by the band, the
question box was passed around.
Many interesting questions were
asked, and prompt and appropriate
answers were given. The choir sang
piece of music, the benediction was
pronounced, and all went home feel>
