Grant. on the Third Term.

"At the same time, I think" said Gen.
Grant, continuing the conversation, that
we should revise our electoral laws and
prevent the renewal of such crisis. I
have thought good deal over this sub
iect of the duration of the Presidential
Office. ! always read with interest the
discussions arising out of it. These
discussions have done good, and our peo-
| pile, with their great common sense, will
come To a solution. My own mind is not
clear as to which would be the bost plan.
The one-term, idea has many ar
guments in its favor. Perphaps
one term, without reelection,
for six or seven years would be as good
as any other. The argument against q
second term that President is tempted
to use his patronage to re-elect himself
is not sound. The moment President
used his office for such purpose he
would fail. It would be the suicide
of his administration. 1t would Of
fend the people and array against him
public men, most of whom are dreaming
of the succession for themselves, and
would resent policy they deemed to be
an invasion of their own rights. There
is nothing in that argument. Patronage
does not strengthen President. When
you take UP the question of second or
third terms, and propose permanent in
eligibility afterwards, you are encoun.
tered with the argument that in free
government people have a right to elect
whomsoever they please, and that be.
cause man has served the country well
he should not at the end Of his term be

the army. What you want to avoid, it
seems to me, is not reflections, but fire.
quent elections. think the best plan,
one that would 90 farther to satisfy all
opinions, would be one term for six or
seven years and ineligibility to re-elec-
tion. Practically, this would settle the
question. Eligibility after an intervening
term would not be of much value, for, in
our country, most of the men who served
one term would be past the age for cleo
tion by the time another intervened. The
Swiss plan of short terms would not do
for country as large and new as ours.
1t is we'll enough for q small, ancient,
