With the people, all thought OF con-
sideration of the third term seems to
have passed away with the last Fall
elections, which were such an en-
phatic rebuke to the ambitious preten-
sions of President GRANT that less
determined person than he would have
at once abandoned all hope of MAIN
tanning himself in the Chief Executive
chair during the term of his natural
life. The third term was one of the
main issues of those elections, and the
opposition to the proposition was so
decisively and Enthusiastically expressed
that it's advocates, both journals and
individuals, ceased urging the measure
and it's discussion was no longer one
of the topics of the day. Recent devel-
opments at Washington, however,
indicate that the President and his
intimate friends and advisers were not
among those who bowed to the will of
the people. They were bafffed, but
not defeated. The third term snake
was scotched but not killed. The de-
termination of the President to force
the measure is becoming more appar-
ent day by day. 1t is now believed
that the Louisiana trouble was created
and SHERIDAN sent to New Orleans
in the interest of the third term busi-
ness. The Arkansas difficulties were
another move in the same direction,
and the following synopsis of bill
just adopted by the unanimous vote of
the Republican Senators and Con-
| gressmen, is another and the boldest
step yet taken toward perpetuating
the reign of U. S. GRANT. We advise
all to read this synopsis carefully:
| 1-Re-enactment of the fourth section of the
Ku KluX Act, which allows the President to
suspend the writ of habeas corpus in certain
cases, and gives him full power to use the
| army to suppress disorder and maintain the
peace.


2-The appointment of Deputy U. S. Mar
shals and Supervisors of Elections, with full
powers to conduct elections, count ballots
supervise returns and arrest persons who at
tempt to intimidate voters or unlawfully in
terfere with the conduct of elections.


3-To provide for full and fair registration
of legal voters and make it unlawful for any
reconstructed State TO impose an exclusive
poll tax, OF require the payment of such tax
as qualification for voting at any congress
SiOuaI election.


4-Declaring the exhibition or use of deadly
weapons on days of registration or election,
for the purposes of intimidation or violence, q
criminal offense, punishable with fine or inn
prisonment, at the discretion OF court.


This means, if it means anything, to
place the Southern States under mill
tary control-to declare that martial
law has superseded civil rule = and
thus secure the electoral vote of those
States for GRANT. The bayonet shall
supercede the ballot box and United
States Marshals shall direct for whom
ballots shall be cast and count the bal
lots. We repeat this is bold move
but it is desperate case and can only
be saved by desperate remedy. The
bayenet in the South and bribery and
corruption in the North seems to be
the weapons with which the President
is determined to perpetuate his Presi-
dency. Are the people to be defied
and their will and wishes set at
naught?

Oh God what awful depths Of woe


Beneath the flowers the happy tread!
What mournful cypress branches grow
Beside the roses joy has bred!
For one who smiles-how many grieve!
For one who larghs-how many weep!
While those on shore securely live,


What ruthless storms the ocean sweep
And yet, ye storms, ye come and 60;
Ye torrents sweep the land and pass:
oh that it were with sorrow so


Oh were it thus with tears, alas
Though one the aim-the common tomb
How different shows each single way
Ye all who wander that Of gloom,


OF grief, and terror, and dismay-
Bear on the load, nor feebly sink,


Nor doubt for all fitting close

It was pleasant and right sociable little party that sat around little pine table in the rear of a street grocery, night before last. There were five men in the party, and they sat on candle boxes, end up. 4 candle illuminated the board, enabling the reporter (who had dropped in to get pound of su- gar) to see that each man had number of white beans in front of him. They were playing cards, and kept pushing from one to the other a big jack knife, which they called "the buck" probably from the fact that it had buckhorn handle, maybe, perhaps One man seemed to be doing most of the talking.

The Dog and Turtle---A Fable.


Peoria Review.


II anybody has seen black-and-
tan dog, answering to the name of
Judge going down the street with
hard-shell turtle that won't answer
to anything. and certainly won't
answer to tackle-as the dog will
tell you, if you can only get him to
stop long enough-please to halt the
clipping pair. as they are the proper
ty of the editor of this paper. We
are fondly attached to the dog on
account OF his vagabondish, Bohe-
mianish habits. He knows every
dog in Peoria by name, and is on
speaking terms with nine-tenths of
the dogs that come in under the
wagons, and he knows more of the
Inhabitants of this city than the tax
collector does. The turtle is a more
recent acquisition. 1t was placed in
the back yard yesterday. and the
dog spent an hour and half trying
to induce it to come out of its shell
and be comfortable. The old IRON
clad maintained his reserve, howev-
er, until the dog ornamented his
nose against the forward. part and
commenced to sniff. The pair seem
ed to come to some understanding
at once. for the dog made an impet-
uous remark on a high key, and
then they both started on trip TO-
gether. The dog was last seen
sauntering along like a whirlwind.
the turtle staying right by him. We
should be very sorry to lose the dog
now. as he has acquired another inn
