NO REASON FOR CHOOSING GRANT.

Talk WITH EX-CONGKESSMAN ROBERT ;. hALl-
HIS FIRST AND SECOND CHOICE.
Fx-Congrcssman Robert s. Hale, Of Essex
Countv. EXPRESSED himself very decidedly
against the third-tegm project IN q
recent conversation at the Fifth Avenue Hotel with
a representative Of THE TRIBUNE.
"I do not basemy opposition" he said upon any
ncrsona feeling against General Grant. and think
Repubcans make mistake who revive any OF
the preiudices of the past an argument against
his nomination. / believe that he made better
President during his second term than during
his first and if again elected have no doubt he
would do still better during IL third term Nor
do | svmpathize with the notion that there
would be any violation of the spirit
of our institutions in electng man three times to
fine Chief Magistracy. If the people want q
man for their President the fact that
he has been twice before called to the
nosition ought not to stand in their way Then the
affection urged in 1876 on the ground that a
Prcsident might use the patronage OF the
Goyernment TO perpetuate himself In office does not
apply now that General Grant has been private
citizen for three yeais." . a.,
why then do you oppose Grants nomination r
81 feel like the King IN the old ballad of Chevy
Chace who when he heard of the fall OF
one of his Knights, thanked God that he had 500
r:nre lust as good men and true. We have plenty
of statesnen who would fill the Presidency
as we'll az Grant. and see reason whatever foI
making him the candidate. His nomination
would bring no new strength to the party.

GENERAL GRANTS NoMINATION.
The Hon. Richard c. Mccormick, ex-Chief Com
missioner to the Paris Exhibition, has the remarka-
bic distinction of having refused two important
foreign missions within the last six months.
Like many other men who have spent
the best part Of life in active politics he finds its
rewards unsatisfactory, and experiences relief in
throwing off completely the cares of pub
lie station and embarkiug in business enter
prises Mr.. Mccormick is now engaged in
mining ventures and comes to New-lOrk
occasionally to look after the interests
of two or three silver companies with
which he Is connected as president or
director. He is still a member of the National Com
mittec. of which he secretary during
tho campaign Of 1S76-a post that he
declined to rcassume when the committee
was reorganized last month. While in
the city Monday he was asked his opinion as TO the
drift of sentiment among kePnOiicans on the ffeS-
"1he tnird-term project is losing favor steadily;
of this am satisfied from my daily Intercourse
with leading politicians. -, O..
Ut comes from no feeling Of hostility to-

ing conviction that his nomination would

defence of the third-term innovation y

At about O'Clock this morning fire
broke out in the stables belonging to the
Springs company. There were at the time
fOrty-siX horses IN the stables. only two of
which escaped. FOrty-four horses, twenty
OF which belonged to the Springs company
and the remaining twenty.fOur to guests
here, were burned. The fire is supposed TO
have been the result of careesSness on the
part OF some of the colOred servants. The
building being an old one, and intended to
be replaced by a new structure, was unin-
sured. No alarm was given, and only few
OF the guests were aware OF the coniiagra-
ton until this morning. The building was
full of combustlble material, and burned so
rapidly that an opportunity to cut the horses
loose was not afforded.
Arrangements have been made for sup
ply OF new horses Immediately, so that the
business or pleasure OF the guests will be
uninterrupted.
w. w. Corcoran's splendid horses, Gen
eral j. Il. Anderson's fine bays, Colonel +.
l.. Hobson's two thoroughbred riding-nags,
and Colonel j. l.. Carripgton's four horses
were among those lost. All OF the car
riages and buggles were saved, though some
were badly damaged.
There was no guard at the stable, and
when the fire was discovered it had made
Roadway. The stable was si;.
stated in the lower portion OF the grounds,
beyond the ten-pin alley and off to itself.

CAUSE OF HIS ARREST.
WASHINGTON, August l.-Henry Lee, the
colored man recently arrested at the in
stance OF Ella johnson, who suspected him
Of assisting in the murder of her uncle,
Henry Williams, at Bowling Green. Caro-
line county, Va, has been releaSed. His
release was granted upon a letter from
Sheriff Cowgirl, OF Caroline county, who
announced that Lee could not have posi-
bly, engaged in the murder, as it was COM
mitted by only two men, both OF whom are
in prison with direct evidence against them.
Lee was naturally elated when set at lib
erty. and was not loath 10 leave the city. He
departed this afternoon, but before going
stated that it was his own f0olhardiness that
got him into scrape which might have re-
suited seriously. He added that Ella John
son was right in suSpecting him, because he
did tell her on the steamer en- route TO this
city that he had fought with and seriously
injuIc a cOlOred man, and was endeavor-
ing to escape arrest; aud the woman APP
pearing so deeply interested in his story
caused him to brag over the affair with an
idea OF becoming an important parsonage in
her estimation.
The real facts, however, he explains as
follows He assaulted man in King
George county about the same time that
Williams was killed in Caroline. and, though
no attempt was made to arrest hin, he was
told there would be, and he fed, although he
white people for whom be worked advised
him to remain, as there was every reason TO
believe that his fears were grouDdless. Lee
declared when leaving that he was cured Of
Boosting forever. and, though it might be
unpleasant for him. he was going back TO
King George and take his chances.

and county officers took place to-day. An
opposition to the regular Democratic ticket

cans, eenbackers, and Independents.
Verbal reports from the election officers at
the closing Of the POLLS here show a clear
majority for the straight Democratic ticket.
Reports at the Democratic Executive
Committee rooms from the interior OF the
