Grant and the Third Term.
Grant is bent on carrying oul
the third term project. According t(
the views of the Washington corr'es
pondent~ of. thie.News &~ C'ourier, th
apathiy of the people encourages him
and his allies to pursue their plans
[hey profess to believe that there ha
bena reaction since the people firs'
rose to protest against the Louisians
outrage, and further, that the indigna
tion meetings held were composed en
tirely of Democrats. In the, event o:
Grant's failure to coerce the South,
war with Spain is his next move. W
canDot believe, though, that after the
many indignant expressions North ani
South that the people will subumii
tamely to this one-man power. It har
gone on sufficiently long already. Bu1
that the extremest measures will b4
tried by Grant there can be no questiot
of. Even now says this correspondent

MR. DbTOR' There is a special
-evil existing in' our coalitry at this
-time which I do not recollect 'having
seen - any- notice of in either'of our
'Countypapers. The evil alluded to
is the habit that some-quite ' number
of our country merebants-haVe of
Ktrading- with negroes ut night:-for cot-'
ton in tihe seed. This, Mr. Editor, is
a sore cvil. The farmers of the coun
try have trials and vexations enough
without this, the worst 'of all trials,
with which they are'beset. It 'is as
much as the farming community can
do to make "both ends meet" at the
prices that have rul~ed for cotton for
two years past, without having alag
