GRANT WORKING PENI.Tr
FOR
A THIRD TERM.
At the time of the fall elections the
opinion pretty generally prevailed
that Grant was effectually bottled as
a Presidential aspirant. But this
was based on a totally mistaken con
ception of the present incumbent's
hold on his party's machinery, as well
as upon an exaggerated estimate of
the wisdom of the party leadership.
The reserve force of virtue and judg
ment in the organization is weak, and
this fact no one knew better than the
President. He made use of. this
knowledge to advance his own over
shadowing ambition. Caring nothing
for a party in the establishment ofi
which he had had nothing to do and
to the ideas of which he had proba
bly never given much consideration,
he conceived at once the scheme by
which he could be renominated and,1
if renominated, by jugglery and the

time hints have been given by his
kitchen organ, the Washington lie
publican, of his. usefulness to the
party and latterly of his necessity,
Evidence from other sources also
shows hia purpose, to say nothing of
such official acts as the Arkansas
message and his numerous secret in
terviews at the Capitol with Radical
Senatorial plotters. But, as if to set
the matter at reQ the St. Louis lie-
publican publishes some information
which has the appearance of credibil
ity and which is satisfactory ,to that
paper at least.
The information thus printed is con
tained in a letter from a former high
official of the government whose
name is not given to a friend in St.
Louis, and is based upon the utter
ances of the Presi'dent himself. The
letter thus quoted from begins by
stating that the President is perfectly

minor questions in the face of the ene
my. Grant then went on to enumerate
his chances for a renomination by the
Republican Convention. He would
have the delegation from the Southern
States solid for him. This would leave
him only forty-two votes to get from
the JSlorth, and ne relied on ivir. uonic
ling to bring New York uptohissup-
port with thirty-five solid, while But-
ler and Boutwell would furnish the
remainder from Massachusetts. Hav
ing gained the nomination, he. would
light the battle of 1872 over again.
He had no doubt as to the result, but
broadly intimated that be might possi
bly be defeated by "fraud and intimi
dation of voters," in which case he
should " see that justice was done."
Grant has certainly great faith in
himself. IIefthinks he is invincible,
But as Butler and Boutwell failed to

inkling conspicuoKsiy ianed with
such a man as JJix to lead his columns
to carry New York last fall, we must
be excused for saying we regard the
Presidential programme as a trifle
wild. What these worthies with the
strongest incentive possible for action
could not do, we are assured Urant
with his greater load of opprobrium
will not be able to do, Bayonet Pro
grammes or no.
A learned critic in the New York
Sun thinks George Eliot allows, her
judgment to make, a slave of her
imagination
Tamaqua, Pennsylvania,! has a pa
per, called the Nuimnce. Candor is
a good thing, even in newspapers.
The International Bevieio for March-April
has a painstaking critical biography of Ed
gar Allen Poe by a London man, Mr. J. H.
Ingram. The writer thoroughly exposes
the meanness of the poet's biographer, Gris
jwold, and proves from a multitude of au
"thorities of unimpeachable character the
great industry, the gentlemanly hature and
.the masterly genius of Poe. The paper is
opportune, as only recently a distinguished
Northern poet published an edition of Poe's
works to which he prefixed a sketch of the
. strange writer's life and estimate of his char
acter based largely upon the prejudiced and
otherwise imperfect "Life" by Griswold. -We
rejoice particularly at the vindication
of the. moral character of the great poet,
which in the absence of biographers who
would do him justice has suffered in public
estimation from the insidious attacks of ene
mies who had a motive for detraction and
falsification. Other articles in the current
number of the International are timely and
well worth reading, h, ' ! i
The last, or January number of the South
ern Presbyterian Review, oommences the sec
ond quarter of a century in the life of that
able periodical. LJt has; been enlarged so
as to admit without a diminution of the
original matter a number of leading articles
from foreign reviews. iTThis eclectic feature
will commend itself to many readers, but
for our part, be it said j without imperti
aence, we prefer the old Souffiern " straight."
This review now cuts its leaves, thus sav
ing its readers some annoyance and puttipg
the volumes in better condition for binding.
The Galaxy and only one other , magazine
in this country are thus thoughtful.
A brilliant French writer, Arsene Hous-
i . i I! I i
saye, tells us that the women are furious at
the obscure lighting
of the new Grand
Opera House at Paris.
I They say they can
be only half-seen in the twilight, and that
it .
the flashing of their, diamonds is barely
perceptible. And yet any other hall, says
Houssaye, would be illuminated sufficiently
by the diamonds, scattered helter-skelter
over the opera. Madame de Cassin ex
hibits four millions' worth, Madame Mua
ark, five millions; Madame de Pav, six
millions.
In the New York Marine Court, on Sat-
urday, Judge Joachimsen, in the case of
Polweter vs. the Central Sleeping Car Com
pany, decided that the company is bound
to have care that a passenger is protected in
his person and in the property about his
person durine his sleep. The company
sells a passenger something more than the
use of a mattress, &c. ; they sell the protec
tion of a conductor and porter, and by this
latter act indicate their responsibility j to
f j
keep away depredators uppn the personand
property of the passengers.

! A Republican in Washington is re-'
ported to have said lately in conver
sation: ,"I, for one, am not content to
see my i party used as a tail to the
President's kite; we cannot afford fb
go the way he is steering; the coun
try cannot stand it.?' The figure of a
kite, which follows the wind from
whatever point of the compass it may;
blow, is an i apt illustration in this
connection, j Another Republican is
reported as saying: "Bad as Andy
Johnson was he at least regarded
constitutional methods. He was a'
tiresome creature with his constitu-l
tion but he was safe. This man goes
the other way, and it is not a safe
way. u e nave gone xarenougn anu
we o'aght to tie up before the boat
goes further, for his drift is danger
ous." i "I don't mind dying, but I
don't want to die like a dog in a
ditch," said a life long and zealous
Republican.! "If the party has done
its work and must die. all ricrht: but
i don't nke it go down dishonored
and stained." 1 here is said to be a
great deal of "private talk of this kind
in Washington, and it may be heard
on the floor of Congress before the
session is over.
The Poet Laureate. ;
Poverty in most instances has been
the intimate and constant companion
of the world's most renowned poets.
very few of those to whom a general
acclaim has awarded the title of
j" born, not made," have been blessed
with a competency of this earth's pos
Sessions. : Among the fortunate few
who have been accorded wealth, as
well as tam, is me ijaureaiu ur 13 up
land, Alfred Tennyson. He is a con-
siderable laud owner, having ' manors
in Lincolnshire and the Isle of Wight,
and estates,; with residences, in the
isle and in Surrey. His house at Has
lemere, ij Surrey, was occupied by
Earl Russell during the writing of his
"Recollections." Tennyson's pen has
yielded him such an abundant harvest
of wealth that the conjecture is made
that he was thinking of himself when
he wrote, "The poet in a golden clime
was born." I
: Poisoned Himself Unwlttlacly.
The Carrollton . (Ivy.) Democrat
says: j
! Philetus Webster, a eitizen of Pres
tonville, died very suddenly about 1
o'clock yesterday afternoon. It seems
that Mr. Webster, ever since he had
been employed as a distiller, was in
the habit of carrying strychnine in his
pocket, and it is supposed that some
of this poison got on the tobacco
which he chewed, and caused death
in about fifteen minutes.
