The third term is to grasping power and inordinate am bition ; it is the boundary or dividiug line between the crowned head and people's choice ; on , this side of the river, is a XteDUDlie. on. me omer a monarchy with unrestricted powers In the Roman Empire dwelt one Julius I Ctesar; in our own, there is one who essays to be the Julius Ciesar of modern times. He now pauses upon the banks of that mighty stream ; green pastures studded with blooded stock; wide fields yellow with the goldeia grain; limitless orchards bowed down with tempting fruit;- nitwinuring brooks, in whose beds ever flow streams oi rarest nectar; luxuriant gardens per fumed by spicy breezes and aromatic odors: and costly palaces ornamented . . . . . . t With tasteful hangings, and set Oil W1U t.hA rinheat nara.nhernalia of monarch ial splendor, all lie on yonder shore The American people say it is there- treat of Gods, but not of men ; it is the fabled elysium of earth ; the garden nf F.rln lint, the fratrs are closed ; and the shades of Was-hii.gton and Jeffer son stand sentry over its entrance There is no conscience in this imperi al Cajsar's breast to warn of the dan eer of Dluckine: . this forbidden iruit, but the several States composing his territory. Tantalus liKe witwiraw me . , , cup from his thirsty lips. He Still stands upon the banks and calls upon his countrymen to follow, out mey heed not his call. The current eddies; the tide runs high ; and the March winds hollow hoarse. Still he pauses through very fear to take the fatal nlnncrp.l When in the midst of the i 1- - seething torrent and buffeting the angry waves, he. might be paralysed with the cramps; when going doWn for the last time he might cry : "Save me Cassius or I sink." but there would be no Cassius by his side, "There's the rub.' At the desolation of his prospects fair, he. sits down and weeps, and mingling with those chill waters, fall fast his hot anrl . hnrninsr tears: "Troubles when they come, come not singly, but in batallions'and while mourning hie sad fate and disappointed hopes, comes a messenger who whispers in his ear amid the lull of the sobbings, "still - cj , another of thy provinces has revolted and Wisconsin is her name. She has declared that it is unwise for you, the Chief Magistrate to hold office beyond two terms. - and has instructed her Delegates to the National Eepublican Convention to vote for Blaine as their choice for the Presidency." He is stil upon th ose ch eerless banks,but com fort ed he will not or he is not the coming man. The ominimoua croaking of the raven mutters in his ear the piercing wail of "never more!" A TOUCHING SCENE, Mr Storrs attorney for Gen.

Ut course a man who has babies to crawl upon his knees cannot be guilty, at least that is one of the strangest trump cards Mr. Storrs holds in his hands. Hon. TJios. S.

Mr. Sampson charac-i tenzed as bad" the" practice prevalent in Brooklyn, of parents and their children going to different churcher. It was a common thing to find them going to their own churches in the daytime and somewhere else at night. This was owing,. in a considerable de gree, to sensational preaching. He did not know of a single sensational preacher in "New York, but Brooklyn was crowded with them. 1 Laughter.! I tell you there's something wrong in Brooklyn," said he. Laughter. Brother bmith thought it an unmit- gated evil that children should be at tending two Sabbath Schools, one in the morning and another in the eve- nine, xie was .not willing to take tne ground that Sabbath School concerts houm be dispensed witn. Brother Potter (the clerk) did not think they were on the right track at all in regard to Sunday bchool cnu- dren. He did not think that children of twelve yeard should be allowed to mingle with old people at all. He thought the brethren made a great m'stakein trying to imitate the Lord Jesus Christ in some things. He took children in his arms and blessed them He did not think ministers could do that. He would consider himself very singular if he wehtjround kissirjg the children. He knew one minister who seemed very much interested in kiss- iner all the eirls around, and one of the erirls was so near the size oi ner mother that he wondered he did not kiss the mother as well.

The Jeunines Estate A Bit of Cold ccmiort. The Baltimore Gazette, of the 19th, publishes the fob owing letter from Hon. Juijah P. Benjamin. It is in re ply to some Virginia claimants, repre sented bv Mr. J. r. V ease 1 , oi liich- mond: Temple, London' January 31, 1876 J. Parker Veasev, Esq.: Deab Sir: In answer to your favor of the 17th instant I beg to any that there is not a word of truth in the statement that I am or ever have been engaged in behalf of any person in the case oi the Jennings estate or any other estate in England. I have uniformly refused to engage in any such business, and have endeavored in everyway to give publicity to this fact, because I constantly hear of at tempts of dishonest men to represent themselves as my agents or clients and to impose on the credulity of the unwary for the purpose of obtaining money on false pretences. I am not engaged professionally for a single heir or alleged heir in the United States. I receive hundreds of letters with inquiries such as yours, until have been compelled to throw them aside without an answer. 1 make an exception in your case, and hope vou will do me the favor to communicate the contents of this letter to the pub lie through the press, that the people may be warned against attempts to defraud them by false representations such as I have mentioned. I am, very respectfully, yours truly J. P. "Benjamin." Grant Responsible for the Nation al demoralization. We, tor our part, see far more danger to the gov ernment in popular familiarity with or indifference to the evils which General Grant's administration has fostered, than in the possibility of the election of any man for three terms It must not be forgotten, in estimat ing or in criticising his politica career, that it is the very fact of his strong claim on popular gratitude which bas made his two terms so demoralizing:, and it is almost always by men with claims on popular grati tude that the seeds of political ruin are sown. If he had not been a sue cessful general in dark days, he would have become odious before 1872; but with the halo of war around him, no only have a terrible number of faults been forgiven him, but they have come to lose the appearance of faults and to take on that of virtues. No ordinary President could, for instance have been allowed to give a govern ment like this a musselman flavor, by appointing high public functionarise through pure personal caprice When President Grant first beeran to make extraordinary and. as it seemed scandalous selections for places in the civil service, his friends maintained that we must not reproach him, that he was a simple-minded man, who was necessarily in this matter in the hands of the Senators and llepreseh tatives ; but he speedily dissipated this theory by appointing bimmons of Boston, in defiance of the Itepre sentative ef the district, and McDon aid, of St. Lonis, in defiance of the whole State delegation. In short, he has administered the governmen neither on the old American spoils svsteiunor on the new civil service reform" system, but on the Sultani or Turkish system, which . says : like Mustapha ; put the Vizier's robes on him, and give, anybody who says he is a thief one hundred blows with a stick."

Both heats were won by Foster; Rutherford second. The rest were distanced. Time 7 38J, 7.53 The declaration that Hackhocking was distanced in the first heat, when it is claimed that he was a fair third, excited much unfavorable comment.

The Greensboro Patriot learns that while Mr. Foust was driving to that town last Saturday, from bis place about eleven miles South of Greens boro, accompanied by a lady, the horse (a blind one) which he drove be came frightened at the noise of a com ing train. Mr. roust got out to hold the animal, leaving the lady in the buggy, but the horse became frantic, and breaking loose dashed away in the direction of the train. To make the matter worse, one of the lines broke, giving the animal full liberty and on it went unchecked towards to the train. The collision came, the horse ran square against a car, and was thrown some distance, cut up be yond recovery : but fortunately, the shafts of the buggy broke at some little distance from the track, thus narrowly saving the imperiled life of the lady.
