An Ex-soldier's Prophetic Dream.

In my arm chair, smoking 70 out and 80
in, as l smoked, my clock ticked plainly thus:
Don't you forget, that the next National
Republican Convention will Grant us Grant
the man of tho people, by the people and
for the people and that every Northern
and several Southern States will Grant U. s..
Grant their electoral votes"
The clock struck twelve. The old familiar
sound of distant cannon could not be mistaken,
and as | dreamed, more than million men
as an army passed before me, shouting:
Grant us Grant, aud all the votes cast for
Grant will be counted for Grant, from Maine
to California and from Minnesota to Florida,
inclusive.
Grant us Grant, and every citizen of the
Nation will receive protection of law in every
State and Territory
Grant us Grant, and the right of every
citizen of the Nation-with big N-bluck us
well rs white, to vote once at each election
rs he may elect, will no longer be disputed.
"Gramt us Grant and the immediate arrest
and prosecution of hw-breallcrs, their trial
by honest iuries-SOuth as well as North,
West rs well as Elst-and punishment in nc
cordance with law, if convicted, will be as
sured.
Grant us Grant, and law aud order will
reign supreme all over the reunited States,
and murders, asSassinatiOns and bulldoZng
for opinions sake will cease.
Grant us Grant, aud an honest administra
tion OF the civil service, which shall compro.
houd something more than competitive exami-
nation for appointment and promotion.
"No George William Curtis in ours. Grant
us Grant aud the enforcement of all laws
passed by Congress in favor Of the soldiers
who preserved tho Nation.
"Grant US Grant and we will once more re-
alize that we were in the right, and that the
cripples, the widows and orphans of Union
soldiers will yet receive the consideration to
which they are entitled of those who control
National and State affairs.
Grant us Grant, with malice toward none
and charity for all, and Let us have peace "
The sweet strains Of America" from II pass
ing band enthuscd me, and | fell in" with
over million men, and went marching on,
shouting Grant, u Grant" until my clock
struck l II. ~, January l, 1880.

The Most Prosperous Year in Its History

DENVER Col, Jan, From reviews OF

dealers opened mp different branches OF trade
in the State. The farmers had an unusually
fine season, and tho whole State has been ben.
Gifted thereby. New towns have sprung up
in every county Of the State and all thus far
have prospercd, The

CHARLESTON, S. G., Jan. Upon the an
nouncement that General Grant would visit
Beaufort un imprOmptu reception was ar.
ranged this morning by the leading citizens,
irrespective of party. An immense concoursc
of all classes proceeded to the depot with
bands of music and copious display Of bunt-
ing. Two cOlored military companies, tho
Beaufort Light Infantry aud tho Sumner
Guards, were out. The Beaufort Volunteer
Artillery, the crack white company, was on
the road leading to tho town with one field
piece, firing n salute of thirteen guns. Every
available vehicle was in rcquisiton to add to
the demonstration Of welcome. At $3.50
o'clock the special train arrived with General
Grant and his party, aud was greeted
by the crowd of about 5000 persons
with hearty applause. The party were
then seated in handsome convcyances. Cen
eral and Mrs. Grant, the intendant aud Colonel
Wilson occupied the first carriage, which was
followed by q procession of citizens. The
cavacade proceeded through streets decorated
with flags to tho hotel. AT the entrance to
the town was an arch bearing the word Well
come" in evergrocns. On the arrival of the
party at tho hotel lntendant Williams, ON be-
half of the committee, extended the hospiali-
tics of the town in short speech. General
Grant responded Us follows:
1t affords me great pleasure to be allowed the op-
| portunity to visit Beaufort, though only for an
| hour This locality occupies conspicuous place
IN history. FOR the last twenty years II certainly
has. The best qualities of the newly cmUnClputcd
rnco are developed here. l thank you for your

fleet stationed here paid their respects in full
uniform. Tho ladies of the party were called
upon by the ladies Of the community. Cen
ernl Grant had expressed desire for some Of

1t turns out that strict construction of the
Constitution of Maine, such as Governor Gar
celon assumes to have followed in "counting
out" Republican members of tho legislature in
that State, serves the purpose now of vacating
his Office and Of showing that his term as Gov

The Governor shall he elected by the qualified
electors, and shall hold his office ono year from

Under these provisions Garcelon was inaug-
urated to be Governor on tho LIST day OF Jan

HIS Inauguration at Albany Yesterda!


ALBANY, Jan. 1.-The Inauguration of G Ov.
ernor Cornell took place at noon to-day in
the Assembly chamber of the new capitol. 1t
was u very plain and simple ceremony, lasting
only few minutes, but 1t was witnessed by q
vast ConCOurSe of citiZcns
Governor Robinson cordially welcomed Gov.
crnor Cornell to the high Office to which he
had been chosen, and concluded by hoping
that his administration might be such as to
increase his own honor and confer enduring
benefits upon the people of the whole State.
Governor Cornell, in responding, said Gs
chief magistrate, Governor Robinson had Wig
orously aud fcaressly exercised his official
prcrogatives, and given his administration
high rank with those which had preceded
it. For long time it had seemed to
him that we were quick to find fault
with public men, but careless in expressing
appreciation of faithful service. Perhaps more
careful discrimination in this regard would
contribute quito rs much TO elevate our public
service as some other remedies which had been
suggested for present evils. 1t should be re-
mcmbered that great prizes were offered to
men of ability in other pursuits which went
far beyond anything realized in official life.
Tho learned professions, the arrangement
of corporations and other great business en-
terprises afforded opportunities for compem-
sation and distinction which lessened
the attractions Of the public service and in
ducel many Of our best men to neglect affairs
Of government. Continuing the Governor
said, ",rho dark clouds which so long cast their
shadows over the business affairs of the coun-
try have broken away, and the new year opens
in tho bright sunlight of prosperity"
In conclusion he said he accepted the great
trust committed to his keeping with a pro.
found sense of the responsibilities involved.
and with iull determination to faithfully aud
impartially discharge tho obligations assumed.

THE PRESIDENTIAL TERM.
81 have thought good deal over this subject
of tho duration of the Presidential Office.
always read with interest the discussions
arising out of It. These discussions have done
good, and our people, with their great common
sense, will come to solution. My own mind
is not clear as to which would be tho best
plan. Tho onc.tcrm idea has many arguments
in its favor. Perhaps one term, without re.
election for six or seven years would be MS
good as any other The argument against o
second term, thata President is tempted 10 use
his patronage to ro.eloct himself is not sound.
Tho moment President used his office for
such purpose he would fail. 1t would DO tho
suicide of his administration. IL would Of.
fend the people, and array against him public
men, most of whom are dreaming OF the sue
ecssiou for themselves aud would resent q
policy they deemed TO be an invasion of their
own rights. There Is nothing in that Hrgu-
mcnt. Patronage does not strengthen Il Presi-
dent. When you tako up tho question Of
second or third terms, and propose permanent
ineligibility altcrwatd, you arc encountered
with the argument that in ~ govern
ment people have right to elect whomso-
ever they please, and that because n man
has served the country we'll he should not
ut the end of his term he iu the position Of
an officer cashiered from the army. What
you want to avoid, it seems to INC, is not
rc.elections, but frequent elections.
think the best plan, one that would 20 farther
to satisfy all opinions, would be one term for
six or seven years, and ineliibility to re-elec.
tion. Practically this would settle the Ques-
tion. Eligibility after an intervening term
would not be of much value, for in our coun-
try, most Of tho men who served one term
would DO past the age for election by the time
another had intervened. The Swiss plan OF
short terms would not do for country as
large and new as ours. 1t is well enough for
a small, ancient, populous aud highly.dcvcl.
