NATIONAL ~ REPUBLICAN, LEAoUE.
Preparing for the AntI.Ihird Term cea
yeation NJ Sc. Louis.

PHILADELPHIA, April l5,-An executive
session Of the National Republican League
Of the United States, was held in this city
this evening, for the purpose OF general
consultation on matters connected with
the National Convention Of Republicans,
who are opposed to third term, whith
will be held in St, Louis on the eth Il
May. The proceedings were conducted
with strict secrecy, and the result Il
the conference was not made known.
though the intentions and wishes OF the
persons affiliated with the movement
were obtained from ex-senator John B.
Henderson, of Missouri, who, by invita-.
tion, had visited Philadelphia TO at
tend the meeting, and by his
advice and experience to assist the
committee in forming conclusions. on
which to base their future efforts. Mr..
Henderson said: 1.-The committee at st.
Louis have assurances from more than
twenty States, OF alarge and respectable
delegation, where there is sufficient
strength to organize and conduct party
campaign. The German Republicans are
almost solid in their opposition TO Grants
election, and in case OF his nomination
the detection Of German strength alonein
Ohio, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan aud
Indiana would almost certainly defeat
him In each OF those States. The proba.
bility is that il Pennsylvania Is carried at
all it will be by very small majority. It
is not alone the German voters who will
oppose his election. These are supple
mented by much larger body OF native
born Republicans, who entertain .
continuous respect and reverence
for the traditions Of the govern
ment They believe, and / have
no doubt Of the correctness Of the belief,
that II Gen. Grant Is elected to the third
term he will, ,endaavor to perpetuate bis
tenure OF office during his lifetime. It
will either result in life tenure or the
absolute overthrow OF the Republican
party for all time to come. We hope,
however, through the influence of the st.
Louis convention to render these specula.
tions altogether Unnecessary, and We shall
demonstrate by that convention that the
people OF this country are so thoroughly
opposed to third term candidacy rs TO
render the nomination OF Gen. Grant al
together impracticable. II the Chicago
alter the fact has been made
plain, shall persist In forcing him upon
The country. We believe that the pre-
cedent set by Washington aud followed
by subsequent Presidents will be so
thoroughly strengthened in the next cleo.
ion as to deter any future candidacy iora
.hird term.

sheep ever made in this region at one time,
were shipped on the p, W. & Ky. road,

Mansfield, Logan county, Ohio. A mum.
ber Of ewes were also sent along to keep
them company, all thoroughbred. The
shipment was made by Mr.. N. v. Elliott
Of that place, who gathered up the sheep
from the best focks Of this and adjoining

AREGrlAR passenger train will beput on
the Tuscarawa railroad, between Bridge
port and UrichsviIle, next Monday. It
will leave uriChsville at 6 in the morning
and reseh Bridgeport at 1880, and, return
ing, leave Bridgeport at ESQ in the after
noon, and arrive at Urichsville at in the
evening. We presume that It will be q
mixed train for the present, carrying both
passengers and freight, but upon this
poin!we are not advised. The time Is cer-
tIinly slow enough for mixed train, the
distance being So miles, and the time four
hounauda half each way, or eleven miles
su hour. The train will be Of decided
benefit to Bridgeport and Wheeling. It
SETS to the river at good hour for bust-
ass, and leaves at q convenient hour In
the afternoon, 1t will gather up people
al along the road, coming down from
VdCisville, and land them here in early
business hours, and thus afford every fac
'li'y for visitors to put in their time to
good advantage and return home ct .
seasonable hour.
The territory traversed by the train Is
number one for business, and We shall be
very much mistaken II an important trade
does not speedily grow up between the
tFe' and every stopping place this side o.
uhehSvile. In the early days Of the Na
,ional road very large trade was don't
here by the country now opened up to u
blythe new railroad. This trade shoult
