Senator Gordon, of Georgia, on hit i. return from Washington was interview by a correspondent 'if the Atlanta 1 " Jferald, who reports the Senator's views g? to fe 'Grant's aspirations for a third '1 e ii,. TSltn,"and also as 10 me prospects ui tuc ^Democracy in the next election. Grent, Le thinks, is very anxious to run again, and as a people's candidate. The evi.deuce-of this he finds in the indifference witli which the 'President regards the Republican leaders, and th'eWmlty feeling which he "manifests t6 the South, fctill if Grant wants the nomination oi (he -Republican party, the Scnatoi thinks he can get it, as he is the strongest man in the party, and much stronger than the party Itself, and besides, the Republicans fear that he may be taken up by some middle party, or even by flu Democratic party itself. In tfre*evefil of Grant's not running, he thinks !Efihu B. AVashborne, the present minister tc franco, will receive the nomination. TheSermtrt*, "however, thinks that the democracy will have a certain victory In the next election, for the following ?tViof fho mninritv of the tx?0l)l( JVOOWIIO V..v ?-v , M A are opposed to the financial platform o thfe President, or tlrb sptedy return tc specie payments'; that the whdle spirit of the Republic is opposed to a thirc term, and will lead to the defeat of ain t-andidate on this issue; that the corrup tiou of the Republican party, as showi by its Shortcomings at "Washington am ihismauagement of affairs at the South in ust ensure its defeat. The views of the Senator, fre think rtust*be takt-n With -'many grains of al loWance, as those of an active partisan rather than a dispassionato observer Tf the financial issue is so important i one as to insure the defeat of Grant, i would ucnotiess oversuuuuw prcseu party lines, and raise up some thin party, who wouldgo before the countr; 6n this question. To this end .prescn indications seem to point. Thefinaucio question seems to overshadow alixirtrerp and as upon this question irreconcihibl divisions exist in the ranks of both th llepubltcan -and Democratic parties, th only alternative seems to be to organiz a new party-du this issue. -Agam *s t< the third term principle, if this be ft repugnant to tne traumons 01 our guv eminent, and so odious to the spirit o our people as to lead to the defeat o Gen. Grant, it would afford one of th best reasons for defeating his nominatici before the Republican Convention. <Of the prominent Democratic candi 'Gates the Senator remarked: Allen Cr. Thurrtrttn, "Of Ohio, is a ij*esent toy far the mrfefpromihent can wdate. Hiasplendid entnto&ig?) in ?hi< l?of woor MrR.virur.if. fnrr.fh'fi DotpOOTOCV AUBv .<-"M "~**V O ? for the first time iu many, many yean gives him a splendid start.

Pendleton is a leading candi date, on his currency platform, ant ^General G. W. Morgan, of Ohio, is als< spoken ably of by his friends. Thus you see, Ohio offers three candidates. Next to Thurman I should plac< Herrrirrcks, of Indiana, and Hancodk of Pennsylvania. Of these'two I thinl Hendricks is probably the strongest from the fact fhat the west must furnisl the candtdato. I think that either o these candidates, yith-u good platform could carry New Hampshire, Conuecti cct, of the JfevV England States, Nev York, Net.r Jersey, Delaware, and prcb I* tibly Pennsylvania, 01 me miuuieouim all of the Southern States except Soutl <^roiina, Mississippi and Louisiana, ant K)hio, Indiana, California, Oregon, xe vada, of the Western States. t 'The XTnion-Herald.?This promi went organ of Ihe Republican partj of tho State h'as vfrtitogod liattds, haV ing been (purchased by a number o Influential Republicans, and will b( f "conducted as before in the interests o the party.

It is not improper t< Bay, however, that the statement o it having been purchased by Attor ney-General Melton, as trustee, eithei ior himself or others, is utterly un tme. Tho firm of Melton & Cham "i y ' ! bcrlain'was employed to preparo tho necessary papers, and in iho absence ot the trustee represented him in their exccotirn. This is simply the extent of Jiul^o Melton's connection with the matter. 1 i A Beautiful and Tasteful Tribute to the Memory of an Honored baffle. "We had the pleasuro a Few days 1 since of inspecting tho beautiful mon' ument in the mnrble yard of our I townsman Ml*. J. 1).

Tho monument is of tho finest Italf ian marble, with an octagonal ehafl p resting upon a square pedestal and reaching to the height of eleven feet; and with its graceful proportions, * elegantly carved drapery, arid approi priato inscriptions, is a model of good 5 taste, and a worthy tribute to the memory ^of an honored name. * front of the pedestal j vyv.. is tho following inscription: Honorable Davip Lewis Wabdlav*, , Born March 2S, A.

[ Ex Governor JosepH E. i This distinguished Georgian has > recently been on a visit to his old homo in Anderson, and being sercna! ded made a spccch, from the report r of "which in tho Conservator, avc cxthn. following timclv advice to ; k*MVW " "" o * r the people of bis nativo State: "But there is hope for you yet. t Treat the colored 'man TiOncslTy and i juetl}\ Teach him that }*ou are his f fricud, and that the carpot-baggcr - and corrupt rulers are your common i enemy.

Deepening of t'he'Ciiar'leston ^ab ?The 'CTtj,' Council of Charleston ' have appropriated fifty thousand doll Iars'totbework of deepening Pumpkfn Hill Oha'mrel, one of the channels ? across the imr, so as to secure 'ft d&pth f of twenty feet of water at high tide. I The work will commence at once, and v it is supposed will bo completed in - six months. The action of the Counl? cil shows that the people of the city j arc fully alive to the necessity of do_ ing something to remove the obstacle's which lie in the way of tho commercial greatness of tho city. The Comet is now approaching . the earth-and,6un with a constantly n accelcratcd velocity, arriving at perihelion (nearest the &un) and pcrigrec J (nerest the earth) a"bout the first of f August. It will soon be visible only s in the early hours of evening, setting i in the North-west. Professor Swift saj's the comet will bo brightest in the evening of August 3, being then 8 245 times as bright as at the time of i. discovery. A cometary display may ? then hfl e*nectad which mav rival the transit of Venus in pepulur ias well as in scientific interost.

Edward F. Stofces. Wo learn from tho Grconvillo News that Edward F. Stores, who was * committed to tho Greenville Connt}' v jail six months ago for cdrttempt of n Court, is now in so feeble a cordition I that it is doubtful whether he can live 1 through the summer months. It is t suggested that tho offenco has been \ fnlly atoned for by the sufferings and s degradation of his long imprisonment. ] and that no good can be accomplished ( by prolonging his confinement, to be i ended soon, it is feat-ed, in death. We ( >* ? 11 ? !>/? o(Wrrr?G>mn tlin.1 cul'uiuil<y ocwiiu vow j he bo released without delay. Ifo is ( a peculiar man, tenacious of his opin- , ions, unyielding in his principles, and. , as we have uridorstood, with a high ( senso of honor and unswerving personal integrity. Such a man is entitled to consideration, even if he be crotchety and obstinate. Judge Cooke will do a proper thing in having him promptly released and restored to hitfriends.?Phoenix. Wo were disposed at first to endorse , tho foregoing, but have since had oc casion to modify our views after reading a very full and clear statement 'of Iho legal bearings of the case given in an editorial of the Union-Herald. Tt seemn that Mr. Stokes was sued to judgment by sundry creditors, for debts and costs amounting to about S2,000, and tho Sheriff haviDg made return of nulla bona, and it appearing that Stokes had considerable means, an order was obtained from Judge Orr, requiring him to answer upon a ^...1 i oath as to tno amount iruu bhuhhuu of his pift>pc?'t'y. Upon Vis failure to Respond, a rut? 'was {ssucd against h'.Iri by the same Judge. Judge Cooke has only sought to perform his legal duty in enforcing the order of Judge Orr, which, was intended to 'protect IDC riguts 01 creditors, aim wmuu required only on the part of Jlr. Stokes that ho declare upon oath whether or not he has any property, and if so, where it is. if Mr. StoTces is insane, legal steps should bo taken 'to -ascertain the fact, iind if otherwise, lie would seem to bo responsible alone for tho hardships of his present con-i dition. At any rate, wo 'do not see. that Judge Cooko has any more discretion in tho matter than Judge: Willard or tho Supreme Court, before whom several applications on writs of habeas corpus were made and refused. The qHcstfon, after all, seems to bo one of sanity, ^f Mr. Stores is sane, he is rcsponsibfe for his acts, and not least among Ihcfti for his present obsftinate refusal to answer. Out op the Beaten Track.?Mr. John Rnskin, tho celebrated writer upon art, was recently requested to lecture at Glasgow, and refused, accompanying his refusal with a denunciation of tho wholo lecture system, as a wouthlcss substitute for reading and thinking'; as seeking to impart knowledge in hurried doses, .whero it i /? i n if x is the worn 01 a iircume 10 acquire u. The same writer recently refused a royal medal offered by tho British i Society 'of architect's, Tor reasons ' which have nou b?eYt "made public. Iienry "Ward 'Bccc'hcr declines the ' honor 6f D. D., and Disraeli refuses to bury tho honored family 'name in somO prond title of tho British peer1 age. W5ch instances occur but rarely, - and when they do, receive duo recognition and appreciation. Chatham would have boen more regardful of tho famo of "the groat commonor," William Pitt, had ho refused the peerage as tho .present English Prc' mier has done. ?o* TnE Council op Grangers. ?

As usual the meeting Wis in Secret session, and we have not been furnishetf with any items for publication. Wo learn, t however, that the meeting was unanimous in advising our planters to get > their iuvta+grants direct from Europe | and not fVofai Castle /Garden., The ' immigrants furnished by the latter ] have proved unreliable, and liko Ifiiost of those who have been exposed to the temptations of city rife, are too \veH versed in ways that are dark and 'trfc&B that are v'aift. ? & CORRECTS. .

The current yetxr Svill become a notable one in the anTfals of science, because of the nn/inrfiiwr fill tllA (Itll nf MliCUWLUCJAUli VtVUlilUg VM ?Mw w December, which is known to astronomers as tlie transit of Venus. More than 100 yeajs have elapsed since the last occasion of this transit. Another will happen in 1882, for, according to the laws which govern the respective . motions of Venus and the earth, the transits, when they do happen, occur in conples at comparatively short intervals; but there will then be 116 bther iVah'sit until the year 2004.
