Mr.. e. B. wAsHBURNE's decline of
the Republican nomination for the
Presidency turns out to be just about q
decline as we imagined it to be. Mr..
Washburne does not wish TO interfere
with General Grants chances, and he
will not 60 into contest-they all say
that-but in event of General Grant not
having any chances-and 1t is beginning
to look as though he would not have 4
great many-why, Mr.. Washburne will
not think of refusing to take the nomi-
nation, should the convention ind il ex-
pedlent to give it to him. In plain Ian.
guage, "Barkis" is not only willin', but
his willingness appears to verge upon

which 100 little attention Is given by of.

The practice of allowing horses to drink

which is advocated by many because il

reprehended by the German who points
out that while in Europe the horses ra-
ton consists almost exclusively of corn
aud hay, the Arab gives his horse dates.
a variety of plants, and even milk. Fed
AS they are in European armies, horses
should, the writer maintains, be given
water three times day, and they should
be allowed each time to drink as muuh
ts ihty like On the march also horses

circumstances permit. Formerly men on
the march were strictly forbidden to

,a CHoosINe BETWEEN FREEDoM AND
AN HEREDITARY MoNARcHy.-Th
words of Thomas jefferson on a third
term Of the Presidency cannot be too
deeply impressed on the public mind.
"If some termination" he said, "to
the services of the Chief Magistrate be
not fixed by the constitution, or supplied
by practice, his Office, nominally for
years, will in fact become for life; and
history shows how easily that degener-
ates into an Inheritance"
Now q termination to the services of
the Chief Magistrate has been provided
in one Of the two ways named by Mr..
Jefferson ii has been supplied by prac-
tice, .r
What Grant and the third term men
now propose 10 do Is to alter that prac-
tlce, to make the term practically for
Grants life; aud then the next thing we
have 10 expect is that It will become he
reditsry.
This is precisely what the illustrious
author Of the Declaration of Independ-
ence warned his countrymen against.
Shall his warning be needed Pm. Y.

From the Baltimore Gazette.
Washington's Example.

1t is more than tbree-quarters of a CEN
tury since the corpse of the Father of
bis Country was borne to the grave at
Mount Vernon amid the tears of CRATE
ful people; yet the name Of Washington
still touches sympathetic chord in the
heart Of every patriotic American. His
memory remains to-day as unsuilicd aud
as deeply venerated as il was half a CEN
tury ago, when there were still living
man who had known him and
who bad felt the benign
influence of his siDgularly placid and
noble presence. The descendants of his
associates in the great struggle for lib
erty continue to regard Washington as a
model OF lofty patriotism and the highest
type of the statesman and the soldier,
Not they alone, but friends Of liberty in
every cline delight to honor him for his
"anderful courage, his devotion, his
wisdom, his personal purity of character,
aud, above all, because he was patriot
enough not TO take advantage of the
gratitude Of bis countrymen to entrepch
himself in power. When, at the end of
his second term as President, he was
asked TO accept q renominatioD, he had
the wisdom as well as the courage TO say
"No," and his refusal is 20 our thinking
the brightest incident of his glorious
career. That refusal was grounded on
the most patriotic motives, for Washing
ton saw clearly that if the practice were
initiated of electing the same man TO the
Presidency more than twice, the time
might come when an ambitious and un-
sciupulous Executive would be enabled
TO use the machinery Of Government to
re-elect himself as often as he pleased.
The precedent thus set by Washington
was observed by jefferson, Madison,
Monroe and jackson, all of whom might
have been re elected for a third time had
thy so desired.
1t is now proposed to set aside this
custom which, hallowed by the Indorse-
meni OF these sacred names, has grown
TO be an unwritlen law OF the Republic,
in fAvor of Gen. Grant. What Wash
lngton deemed it unwise for his country
men TO bestow upon him the Grant
managers demand for their candidate as
a right. Shall the example of Washing
ton and his successors be observed OF
shall We sanction the first departure
from 1t 10 favor OF a man who has al
ready proven himself to be grossly in
competent as civil ruler? That is the
question which an apparent majority of
the Republican managers propose to
submit to the people next fall.

Hale ana HARDY Ogd Men.

We have more than once, says an
exchange, called attention to the fact,
that the people Of this Republic are
steadily increasing in duration Of life.
Almost any one can see this from OBJ
servation, il he live in large city, or
from reading the death notices in the
newspapers, In ono Of the New York
Journals, for instance, the deaths Of
not less than ten persons were in one
day recorded as over 70 years Of age,
one of them 10, and two SO. Nor is
this in any way unusual. Almost any
daily death record here will show a
preponderance Of old peopleAmeaning
those Of 05 or more. Sixty was con-
sidercd old even 30 or 40 years ago /;
but now, when man Of 90 dies, the
comment often made is, "he ought to
have lived longer; young man yet. p
Indeed, persons of sound constitution,
quick mind, active temperament, are
in sense, young at go, for they are in
perfect possession of all their facul-
ties, capable Of any ordinary amount
of work, and still have considerable
future. Many Of the most responsible
places in firms and corporations in
Boston, New York, and Philadelphia,
are held by men Of 70 or thereabouts,
and they evince no disposition to retire.
New York is noted for vigorous old
men. Walking in Broadway, Wall or
Broad street, in Fifth avenue, or any
of the principal lthoroughfares, one can
hardly fail to be struck by the gray or
white hairs and wrinkled faces, coupled
with erect, elastic forms and supple
ness and rapidity Of movement. There
appear to be numberless ancient heads
on comparatively young shoulders.-
The opinion long prevailed that rural
regions. and rural pursuits favored
longevity; but IL it were SO once, which
is very dubious, 1t is not so now
Great centres supply ease, comforts,
material facilities, and save an endless
amount of friction, while the country,
its monotony, lack of interest, fatigu-
ing round of small concerns, and very
hard work, wear on the strongest sys-
TEN. Men in cities generally live not
only much more but much longer.

THE price at which Cincinnati gas
stock is sold when 1t is proposed to fix
the price of gas at 81 60 per thousand
cubic feet, is sufficient indication that
gas could be made there at much low
er rate and still yield profit on the cost
Of the works. 1t will be remembered
that in Cincinnati the city has the pow
er TO fix, every ten years, the price at
which gas shall be sold by the Gas Com
pany, which is private corporation. A
Committee Of City Councils, after an
examination as to the cost of making
gas, reported in favor of fixing the rate
at 81 25 per thousand cubic feet, aud the
company was willing TO accept 81 10.
The rate now proposed is 81 90, and in
anticipation of that being adopted the
stock Of the gas company sells far above
par. Coal costs a little less in Cincinna-
ii than in Philadelphia.

+ past four years has been the theme Of
the black Republican and mongrel press.
IaRvery thing that could be uttered calcu-
lated to detfact from this gentleman has
been gathered up and published every
few days with comments of the most
vulgar character in addition. But what
Mr.. Tilden has done to deserve this
criticism these blackguards do not say.
It Is enough for them to know that he
had once been elected President of the
United States by heavy popular ma
jority, and il not destroyed in time
might be elected again. In times when
political sentiment was purer and politi-
cal preference was accounted more hon
orable, but brought less money for
more valuable service, it made a man
more valuable in the estimation of his
friends to find him incurring such abuse
Tor his principles and the principles of
his party. Mr.. Tilden was nominated
when the Democratic party bad not for
many years been able to elect a Presi-
dent when the vote of the Southeln
States were at least doubtful. But the
strength of his character as a reformer
and man Of extraordinary ability and
wise statesmanship drew to the side of
the Democratic party majority of the
popular vote and large majority of the
eiectoral votes also. ALI that could BE-
said In opposition to Mr.. Tilden was
then said. The "bloody sbirtn
was Hung TO the breeze and
no stone was left unturned
to eaise the people to vote against
him, yet they returned an immense
vote in his favor and to-day these
people prefer to vote for Mr.. Tilden to
any other man. Do men believe that
the threats of John Kelly and his fol-
lowers can intimidate the millions of
voters who believe that Mr.. Tilden was
robbed Of his right, and the franchise
OF millions thus set at naueht is it
expected, can it be expected, that
the friends and sympathizers of Til
Den can be made to submit to such AN
outrage upon the country and approve
Oh 1t; to go back upon their own
Language, their own votes, by submit
ting to the dictations of the Tammarv
leaders, who made their bargains with
the black Republicans and sold ont the
New York Democracy. We do not
believe it. 0'
we do not believe the Democratic
party is willing to compromise with
those who robbed it of the Pres;dono,
IN 1877 by submitting to the threats of
party leaders to cast aside the man of all
otners that that party had shown itself
aoie TO elect. When Mr.. TiIden shall
decline the nomination, we shall bo
heve this, not before.
Now, while the GAZETTE is ready 30
support any gentleman that the Nat;o
nal Democratic Convention. in its wis
oom shall nominate, it cannot an
prove OF that spirit of detraction and
competition which permits anv of tho
probable candidates being abused and
siandered, simply because he is or has
oeen the choice of the Democrat
party. ia'ic
