The Cincinnati Commercial has a pecu.

office. We have heard a deal about a
change from four to six years, for the os-
tensible purpose Of getting rid Of the tur-

The Commercial thinks the end could be
accomplished by reducing the term to
half its present extent, Make the term
two years and it would not DO of oonse-

The Thanksgiving Day sermons are said
to haYe been more free and outspoken on
the past anniversary than usual, and the
leading clergy, Of the cities, recognized
the principle Of right and wrong in patri-
otism and politics, as in matters connected
with the church-recognizing the fact that
love Of country and voting and using our
influence for the highest good Of the State
is the obligation Of the true christian and
patriot. The N. Y Tribune holds the fol-
lowing language on the subject:
GAS usual, the Thanksgiving sermons
dealt, to a large extent, with themes Of
public and patriotic interest. DIR. Armi-
tage discussed the relations OF the States
and the Federal Government showing how
the idea Of National Sovereignty had tri-
umphed over all opposition. DIR. Bellows
made plea for patriotism that should
be inspired aud sustained by religious
principle. DIR. Newman took national pa.
cifcation for his subject, insisting that q
''Solid South is crime against the age,'
which imperils nations life and mus
come to an end. DR.. Tying preached upor
"God in the Constitution" and DR.. Vim
cent upon some of the deeper signlacance'
OF the day. In Brooklyn, Mr.. Beechel
spoke upon the marvellous strength anC
elasticity Of the Republic, which is teach
ing republicanism every day to all the
world, while Mr.. Talmage made a genera
review Of Thanksgiving topics.
