ANOTHER LECTURE BY COLONEL BOB NIGER
SOIL.
| Last night 10 q crowded theatre Colonel
Bob lngersOll delivered another infdel lee
ture.' subject, what viii We Do to be
Saved 2" There was again large attend
auce Of young men, bald-beaded men, and
woll.dressed lsdieS; and the applause,
hear, was enthusiastic whenever he rdt-
culed the gospel or blasphemed in regard
to sacred things. He made large amount
Of money and did harm, especially among
the youn. men, who to-day are defending
! him.
! MOVEMENT AGAINST THIRD TERMS.
I Judge Gedds QDemocrai), OF Ono, offered
bill to-day in the House which declares
that no man shall be eligible to the presi-
| dency frr more than two terms. Why not
give Grant a chance, that it may be deter
mined by the American peopleat the ballot
box whether or not they favor third term!
IMPORTANT MEETING OF GRANT MEN.
The biggest guns managing the Grant
boom have had a conference here and de-
termiped that on the night before the Ma
;ional Republican Convention meets they
will count noses at Chicago and ascertain to
| a man Grants strength. IL he has a clear
majority. which will secure his nomination
on the first ballot, they will rush him
through with burrab; but il they find he
lacks the vote necessary to nominate him on
the first ballot his name will not be pre-
senteG to the Convention at all. This comes
to me from so reliable q source that feel
perfectly confident OF its truth. Hence you
see why the Grant men are so intent on
carrying the Staunton Convention for him.
| ADJOURNMENT-wHAT A SOUTHERN MEDER
SAYS.
To-day member OF the House remarked
that the speaker hoped to get through by
the 1st OF June, and that Mr.. Atkins,
chairman OF the Committee on ADpropria-
| tions, said that he will have all OF his appro-
priation bills ready at an early day. A
distinguished southern member, who beard
this, remarked that it was high time people
were understanding that Congress comes
here for other things besides passing appro.
priation bills-adding that OF all the appro.
priatious passed the South only gets direct
benefit out OF the postal bill. He did not
believe that Congress would get away until
after the meeting OF the Chicago and Gin
cinnati Conventions.
