BY JULIAN A. SELBY Hon. Reyebdy Johnson on the Third Term.?A pungent and conclusive letter from Hon. Reverdy Johnson to the Now York Herald, commenting upon Gen. Gront'b third term letter, has been pub? lished. While Mr. Johnson concedes that a constitutional prohibition against s> third term does not exist, he maintains that this is no proof that the usage of prohibition is not and should not be con? sidered as conclusive. He holds that long and uninterrupted usage in a Go? vernment like ours cannot safeiy be dis? regarded. He illustrates his position by an allusion to the present condition of the veto power in England, which, by an ancient law of the realm, the crown pos? sesses, and which Mr. JuBtioe Black stone says "is a most importaut and, in? deed, indispensable part of the royal prerogative. Yet this power, says Mr. Johnson, has not been exercised since 1692; and has bo fallen into disuso that its exercise by the crown would produce a fearful ferment in the kingdom. Thus is shown is that representative and law abiding country the conclusive force and effect of usage. The tradition against a third term is and ought to be as muoh a precedent here as the tradition against the veto power in England. Every Chief Magistrate of the United States since the days of Washington has recognized the force of his example, and not one of them ever dreamed of a third term. Mr. John? son does not think it probable that Pre? sident Grant will be renominated or re elected a third term. There are many who believe that if the agitation of the question should lead to a one-term amendment to the Constitution it would not have been an unmized evil. Three English steamers are at Galves ton, loading with cattle for England. This' is a new outlet, and may become one of immense importance to the South. When Georgia and South Carolina were British coloniocattle and beef were sent from Savannah and Charleston to Lon? don. In reoent times, King Cotton has ruined the stock raising business tempo? rarily in the best climate on the conti? nent for that industry?a mistake that will be remedied some of these days, The German infantry force of 1,200, 000 men will be called out to practice with the new Mauser rifle. The artil? lery 1b to have the improved Krupp gun. When this vast army pulls trigger in earnest, there will be rivers of some kind of blood. Tho whole army,1 both infant? ry and artillery, will have their new weapons in 1877, about the time Prince Bismarck will probably think it neces? sary to cross over into France. -A-txp-tlorL Salee.
