 Grant finding the contest waxing
 hot in his own party over the nomin-
 atop of a successor to Hayes, has so
 fur thrown of the mask ss torcveul
 his great anxiety for renomination,
 and like an industrious tumble bug
 is rolling his bali in the south. but
 since the organization of a National
 ansi-third term party. which will con-
 yene m St. Louis on the 9th day of
 May next. he has become palid with dlsnair. The anti thirders mean business and set forth in their CALL, that in no event will they prove re- crean. to. the precedent established by Washington and patriotically ad- hsared to by his successors in office, which they consider founded upon the wisest consideration of public policy. They also approvingly quote Jefferson's language that, Eff some termination to the services of the chief magistrate be not fixed by the constitution or supplied by practice, his office, nomiually for years, will, in fact, become for life" The Re publican doctrine, as adopted by that party in the State Convention of Pennsylvania (ls75) is produced, as also by the Republican State Con veutiocs of New York and Ohio, which were also equally emphatic in then declarations against a third oc- cupancy of the executive chair and all pronounce second incumbency | as an uitimatum in the unwrltten law of the Republic. A Republican Congress, in 1875, by resolution, coipcldcd in the precedent establish ed by Washington and adheared to bv other Presidents, in retiring from the Presidential office after ther sec ond term. The "Call" |" also de- clares that the re-nomination of Grant would result in the overvhem- ,ug defeat of the Republican party. The Republican anti-third termers propose to vitalize the principle of a limited term in the executive office by the defeat of Grant iL conven- ton, and if nominated at the ballot. box. From the presen: outlook, Blaine seems to be the coming man, put, who can tell what combina- sion may not do to thwart political adversary who has fought the good fight and is almost within reach of the goal of his ambition.
 Sherman has repeatedly declared that he would not be a candidate be. fore the Chicago Convention unless he had the united vote of Ohio. |
 The tenth President of the United States was not an aspirant for the position md had not been mention ed as Q possible candidate until after the convention was weary of voting, and may it not so prove in the com. ing Republican Convention, that an unsrmed candidate may be put for ward to contest the hsnols at the polls with a Democratic nominee. The farror and rivalry of candidates renders it probable.

TO The Editor of The National Republican:
SIR: "Thc battle has been fought, and the
enemy arc ours." majority of the counties
have been heard from, aud only one Sherman
mau SO far has been elected. Nearly every
county has instructed their delegates to voto
for General Grant frat last and all the time
Some few have expressed preference for
Blaine as second choice, but at the same time
Instructed their delegates 10 StauntOn to vote
TO instruct the delegates to Chicago 10 vote rs
q unit.
In somo of the counties adjacent to this city
the Shermanitcs spent considerable money to
carry their point, but without etfect--tho poo
pie were for Grant.
In Chesterfield county Samuel f. Maddox,
who is personally popular, had TO abandon
tho Sherman party aud accept instructions
for Grant first, last and all the time, before
lie could be elected as u delegate. 1t is n
good joke ON Maddox, especially os he came
down from Washington in Sherman's interest
Tomorrow night the different cities In the
State will elect their delegates. A largo ma.
joiity of them will be for the eX'President.
To-day the Shermanites in this city are
working like beavers, spending money, etc,
but IL will be of 10 use-tho die has been
cast.
From the information that has been re-
ceived from all portions of the State, Sher-
man will not have In Staunton more than
eight delegates, probably less than that. In
this State it has been Waterloo for Sherman.
As l predicted some time ago, VirgniRs
twenty-five votes ut Chicago will be cast for
Grant CoNFED.

Tho ROLLING Mnter nIlI.

To the Editor of The National Republican:
SIR: The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN of this
morning contains very good article, headed
"The wator supply and tho police" After re-
ferriug TO the increase OF rates for last year,
which was decided illegal by the Supreme
court of tho District, you very pertinontly c.
fer to tho attempt (by the passage Of Mr. Roll
Inns bill) to impose the duties of water in
spection upon the police force. Tho Commis-
sioncrs replied to the Senate committee, lging
energetic means, and imtimated that tho plans
TO make the police look after waste will 90 far
toward producing the effect intended. In my
letter In The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN Of tho
9TH instant / stated that Mr., Rollins bill, pro-
posing to make the police water inspectors, was
so unreasonable that it should and would not
pass l would now state that the dptlos Of the
police are to preserve the public peace; prevent
crime aud arrest offenders; protect the rights
of persons aud property TO guard tho public
health by removing nuisances; to protect
strangers IN tho city, and to enforce all laws
and regulations applicable to tho police, not
inconsistent with tho rights of citizens We
havo not had any report of persons entering
residences claiming TO be water inspectors who
are not authorized by tho department. to look
after waste, but If police officers should make
house.to-house inspections as the assistant iu'
spcctors do, there would bo continual COM
plaint, rs officers arc not wanted about private
residences unless needed to keep tho peace,
Mr.. Rollins bill was reported to tho Senate
Monday and placed upon the calendar, where
IL should romuin, as it will be obnoxious to tho
water takers of the District.

misunderstood tho tenor of the proposition
which they agreed to vt this council, for the
reason that by thoir Interpretation of 1t they
were to go and inspect the Indian Territory
lands and not to remain there. He did not
believe any Intentional fraud had been perpc'
trated on the Indians certainly not by Mr..
Kcmble, the Government inspector appointed
to remove them, whom tho witness described
MS man Of "immovable integrity SO straight
that he sometimes leans backward" lie also

IN INTERNATIONAL QUESTION:
Consul General Heap and the Ottoman Au-
thorities.

iShp hhN thS <Au-
thorities.
LONDON, April IA letter from Constanti-
noplo, dated April ., gives the following par
ticulars of tho conflict OF jurisdiction between
tho United States Consult General and the
Ottoman authorities, growing ont oftho arrest
of an American citizen for murder, au account
of which was tolegraphcd on the 10th instant {:
case has come recently before tho Ameri-
can Consulate which involvesa very important
question of International right and establishes
II privileged position for American citzons
who henceforth assume an extra territorial
character like q diplomatic body A treaty
between the United States and Turkey stipu-
ates that any American citizen having COM
mitted penal otfenso must be delivered up
to tho American consulate for judgment.
This is not the case with any other foreigner,
who, If charged with criminal oilense against
an Ottoman subject, would be tried by an
Ottoman judge, but his case would be watched
by the dragoman of his consulate.
A month ago an American Citizen estab-
lislied in business in Constantinope, killed
an Ottoman subject accidentally He sur
rendered himself to the American consul,
after having remained hidden for few
| days. In the meantime the Turkish police
seized everything In his warehouse In Gala ta,
without having asked the assistance of the
American dragoman. Tho accused was an
| importer Of arms and the minister OF
police forced box of arms open and ap.
propriated several revolvors, which example
was followed by other officials Consul Gen.
cral Heap, who is also charge d'afiairs WAS
| informed of the charge against the American
after this act, and ON the day previous to his
surrender complained 10 Sawas PHsha, minister
Of foreign affairs, that tho 6omicilo of IN
| American citizen had beon violated and rob
berry committed by police officials. On the
surrender of tho homicide Mr.. Heap Informed
the minister of police Of the fact, stating that
according to stipulatiOus between tho United
States and Turkey hc would himself try the
prisoner.
The minister of police has not appeared al
the consulate, and Mr. Heap has informed
Slwas Pasha that he will not surrender the
prisoner to Turkish tribunal, and that ht
expected the evidence to be brought before
the Consular court. Thus the case stands al
present. Ifthc prisoner is tried by Mr.. Heap
other Powers will claim similar privilege
for their subjects.
The dispatch from Constantinople cablcd on
tho 10th instant and dated four days later
than the above letter, states that the prisoner
has been tried, found guilty of manslaughte
and sentenced to. two months imprisonment
and that Mr.. Heap declined TO give him up t.
the Ottoman authorities.
The following dispatch was received from
Constantinople direct tonight:
"CoNsTASTINoPLE, April Ii.
"The American who was convicted Of IN an
slaughter before the Consular court and sen
fenced to Imprisonment for two months In
