We would like TO say few words
10 regard TO the objection agsinst q
third term aud 10 regard 10 the re-
prosche5 which have been made 10
Grant on account of the corruption Of
many Of his officials
We did never get excited by the
fear of a third term it has always
left Us quite cool We cannot see
why the people should not elect a
maa to oilice three times, if they see
fit to do SO. The fear that such msa
might aspire 10 the dictatorship is, ia
view Of our small army, indeed, not
free from u comical fleet The Amer
leans are TOO gallant soldiers 10 be
afraid OF such bugbear For the
same reason, a business man should
be afraid to employ "a man logger than
eight years, tor fear be might be-
come TOO powerful. We would not
like 10 wear the clothes ola man who
would dare 10 aspire TO dictatorship
over the American people.
As tsr as the charge OF the cOrrup-
lion of many officials under Grant
is concerned, it is certainly just one.
and We are not inclined 10 take up, 10
this Case, the defense OF the ex-PFes-
Ident But to be just and equitable.
IL must be al miIted that corruption
did not only exist under the Grant
regime. We have mad, for instance,
corrupt editors, bOOkkeepers, and sd-
vertising agents 10 our own news

etor, aud said to he a smart news
paper man, why should the President
Uf the United States, who has to

whose whole energy during the last
years was employed TO fight corrup-
tion and purity official life, to discov-
er that in MS own department the

NARY AND HFR LITTLE BEAU
Mary had little beau


As sweet as he could he;
But every night he wouldn't go,
And that made misery.
For Nary's ma, she never slept,
But listened full Of fears;
And when, so late, poor Mary crep,
To bed, she'd box her ears.
And pa said gas bills all we're high
And that the coal was low,
And swore he'd murder by and by
That chap who wouldntg
And Mary she grew thin and pale;
Her lover he grew scout;
Her parents threats had no avail,
He would not be put out.
And spite OF Mary's woful gaze
He'd shovel on the coal,
And poke the fire to a blaze
And on the sofa loll.
At length the pa and ma, both grave.
Said thins had reached a pass
When something must be done to save
Their winters coal ana gas.
The youths contentious they must know
and Mary's ma said she
Would question Mary's little beau.
And ia said so would he.
Miss Mary wept. but all in vain
That very night her ps
Walked In the parlor with his cane
Behind him came her ma.
And then poor Mary's little beau
Stopped poking at the crate,
And turning pale said he must 60
Before il was too late.
But ma backed against the door,
Aud pa upheld the cane.
And at The frightened youth he swore
That now he must remain
Until he settled for the gas
And ccal that he had scored:
But if a marriage came TO pass
He'd take il out for the board.
Alas. poor Mary's little beau
Had not wherewith TO pay,
And begged fthey would let him 20
He'd settle up next day.
"No uustr' the angry parent cried,
And then be took the lad
Across his knee and swiftly piled
The cane, for he was mad.
Then tossed him out upon the snow,
And double-iocked the door;
Which settled Mary's little beau,
Who never came there more.

SELLING THE TREASURY IN ADVANCE.

The New York Express, Tammany organ,
published few days ago doublc.leaded
editorial stating that several capitalists of
Wall street had called on General HAN
COCK with proposition that they would
contribute very large sum of money to
the democratic campaign fund on condition
that they should be allowed to name
the secretary Of the treasury under the
new administration. The Erprcss stated
that General HANCOCK refused to aCcedo to
the proposal and then oomplimented him
highly for declining 10 the Tammnny
organ there seemed to be nothing specially
surprising that such proposition should be
made. 1t did not seem to be anything
iucongruous with New York politics Nor
did it seem to perceive that an insult had
been offered TO its candidate for the presi-
dcncy. The sale OF an Office did not appear
to shock the moral sense Of the wclliu-
formed TUmmany editor.
It appears, however, that General HAN
COCK views the matter in y different light.
He denies that any proposition Of the kind
was made to him. lie is surprised that
such story should have appeared in a
democratic paper peculiarly devoted TO 1is
interests, for tho Express is JOIN KELIY's
personal organ. The public will be equally
surprised that such story should he alb
solutely invented by the Express, and it
will be generally thought that there is
more truth in it than General HANCOCK is
willing 10 admit. The New York democ-
racy has just closed lottery in which the
principal Offices Of n great city were dis
posed of rs prizes, and there is nothing in
the proposition to buy cabiuet office ont
of keeping with democratic methods in
that city. There probably was some
foundation for the story. What was it?
Will the Express explain?

some acces5lons TO the HANCOCK ranks. One
Of them recently remarked of Generals Ben
BUTLER and HENRY G. WoRrnINGToN that
they could only be received upon The princi.
pie that actuatcd JACKSON at New Orleans
when he called to his aid the pirates of Bar
rataria. As the democratic party is thought
not 10 be in so perilous n position the South
Carolina organ calls upon the national COM
mttee TO adopt q resolution refusing to re-
