DO You Want a Good "a pc,

Answer.
This issue Of the DELAWARE
STATE JOURNAL is the last Of
the series sent out free to some
seven thousand people in all
parts of the State. We repeat
in it, in an advertisement on
the first page, the extraordinary
offer we have been making for
some weeks in order to induce
a large and rapid increase in
the circulation of the paper
Every reader OF this issue has
now had an opportunity to see
what the paper is like for him,
self. All will admit, we think.
that it is as good weekly
paper as has ever been printed
in the State. 1t is worth the
price we ask for it without any
special inducements being held
out to induce people to take it.
But we are DESTROYS Of gain
ing for it speedily circulation
such as without some special
indueement it might require
years to attain, and hence we
have offered and still offer to
some one subscriber to be
selected at random, without
favoritism, from the first five
hundred subscribers, the gift OF
ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS IN GOLD.
1t is for those who have received
the paper to now say whether
they will accept this offer. Al
any one wishing to avail him.
self CT the opportunity has It
do is to forward one dollar fol
six months subscription to the
paper and his name will bt
entered as a subscriber Tor tina
length OF time and also on thu
list from which the selection o
the person to receive the S10C
is to be made. This is our las
presentation of the matter t,
you, and we hope you vii
decide promptly. If you SEN
a dollar you will certainly &C
the worth of your money in
good paper, and you may ais
get 500 in gold. You ca

why We no Narrowly Escaped Q
Third Term.

The New York Nation commenting on
General Grants recent exhibitions of his
"true inwardness" says some of them
give one by no means diyerting glimpse OF
the possibilities of the third term in the way
of arbitrary and illegal acts. 10 these arbi-
trary aud illegal acts the whole country would
have been disposed to sumbit in order to
avoid the scandal of impeachiug man to
whom whatever his character or capacity, IT
undoubtedly owed much. The leading
features of such IN administration, as the
fancy conjures it up, may be somewhat anus
ing, but to come as near it as wo have done il
a fact which 1t behooves us to ponder rather
than laugh over.
1t strikes us that it equally behooves
us to ponder the other underlying fact
which made us come so near what really
thoughtful men of all parties knew at the
time would be- a disgrace and probably a
calamity. If General Grant had been
nominated at Chicago a great majority OF
the voters of the country would have
been in their hearts opposed to his cleo
ton, but most those thus opposed who
still adhere to the Republican party would
have set their own judgments at naught
and voted for him simply because they
have followed the blind lead OF passion So
far that they regard half their fellow
citizens as public enemies, and believe it
would he safer to place dangerous
man in the Presidential office by
desperate methods, rather thau
permit the lawful election and
o,deri, installation of a Democrat how.

that noble opportunity was neglected

The uneasy were set at rest on Satur-
lay by a meeting between the President
and General Grant. The latter attended
the President reception at Long Branch
and their meeting was cordial. Those
who have heard that General Grant
declared that he would not call upon Mr..
fairfield until the latter apologized to
him for offered Sights, have the choice Of
two conclusions Either the President
la, apoogiaed Or the man who SGT ailoat

made any such declaration as the above,
