COLUMBIA, S. C. ' Sunday Morning, August 31,1873. General Grant on the Third Term. The New York Herald, without pro? fessing to have "interviewed" General Grant, gives a statement of the tenor of what he said to a party of three gentle men'reoently at Long Branch. He said that the third term didn't interest him at all. "It is no business of mine," said he, "to manage the politics of the country. The execution of. the duties of office of President is quite as muoh as one man oan attend to." He went on to state that he relnotantly consented to give np the office of General, but ac? cepting the nomination for President, he stood by it. He said the second term was unsought by him, but he told his friends that he thought the party owed him a vindication "for having im? posed with the office tbe aspersions of their political onemies." Coming to the second term, the President is re? ported to have said: "Lot me see; this is. August?March to Angust is ?vo months, and now tbe newspapers are anxious to know if I am to serve a third te"rco, when the second is hardly begun. Tbe way Congress has treated all of my rooommeudations doesn't make me appear either influ? ential or dangerous. I often think of Lincoln's answer to tbe importunate ap? plicant for army honors?'I haven't any influence with this administration, my friend; you will have to appeal to Con? gress.' If the newspapers want to know whethor I will be nominated, why don't they quiz the party that elected me?" "Why don't yon silenoe this squabble, by announoing your intention to retire to private life at the end of tbe term?" asked ono of the company, jokingly. The President promptly answered: "Yon forget the fate of Coif ax. Will it not be time enough to refuse when tbe refusal is at my disposal?" Whether this be a true report of what General Grant said or not, it is very like him?exactly what we should have ex? pected him to say. Tbe fate of Colfax is one that tbe President never will bring npon himself. He will not, unne? cessarily and affectedly, decline a re election he may desire, and will be al? ways ready to profit by events. In this respect, he is very wiBe, and stands ready to accept the third term if offered to him. Apprehensions are entertained in the North of serious disturbances in tbe basiness world, on account of the sus? pected operations of a certain clique in the gold market. It is believed that a strong combination, at the bead of which is Jay Gonld, exists for tbo pur? pose of boiling np gold, and tbe inde? fatigable interviewers of tho Now York papers have been pumping tbe leading brokers, with a view of ascertaining their secret maohinations and opinions. A reporter of the New York Times re? cently called on Mr. Gonld and delibe? rately asked him whether it was true that he iulended to get up a "oorner." As might have been expected, the dis? tinguished financier does not appear to have taken his journalistic visitor very deeply into his oonfidence. He said in effect that if he thought gold would go np, he would buy some; if be thought it would stay where it was, he would let it aloue; if it seemed likely to fall short, he would go short. When gold paid better than stocks, he dealt iu gold, and rice- versa. All of which was the enun? ciation of sound general principles, but not particularly enlightening as to tbe subject matter of tbe interview. From recently reported utterances of the Sec? retary of tbe Treasury, it is Inferred that ho looks favorably on the bulling policy, but feels compelled, under tbe terms of his appointment, to practice the Lout well policy. < o ? Mr. Joseph Bird, of Boston, is a man of wonderful gunijs. Indeed, it moj be said of him, iu that respect, that be is a rara avis in terras. Ho has disco? vered, after tbo most patient and pro? tracted research, that "tbe rational wny to prevent a great Uro, is to stop it while it is yet a email ono." It is amazing that, although this world has bnvn con? stantly devastated by great tires for thousands of years, Mr. Bird should havo been the first to make this invalua? ble discovery. We 6hould thiuk now that tbe manufacture of steam fire en? gines wonld immediately be stopped. t m ? ? The shows gotten up to exhibit dogs, babies, baboons, fat men and bar maids must now hide their diminished head*-. In the North Woolwich Gardens, near London, recently there was competition for a prizo for tho most handsome beard and moustache. Twelve ladies sat on awarding committoo, and the aspirants for tho honors were oompelled to allow, tho jury to handle and examine the tex? ture of the hirsute appendages. An im? mense black beard took tho premium, bat ?>ix of the twelve ladies havo opened oorrcspondence with tho owner of a fine blondo moustache, and are not on plea? sant tetms with their sister-jury women. - ?.HIHqttoiatlons. Mit Editou: I notice in the Union Herald, of Friday, in an extract from the correspondence of the Abbeville Press and Banner, a misquotation, so glaring, and yet no often repeated in the onrreut literature of the day, that it may bo worth while to give it correctly for the benefit of those who may wish to use it in future. The Press and Banner's correspondent misquote a as foil owe: "Great fleas have little fleas, And these still less to bite 'cm; Little fleas have still lesser fleas, And so ad infinitem." Pretty doggerel that, for the Dean. Tbe original is in Swift's poetry?"A Rhapsody:" "The vermin only teazo and pinch Their foes superior by an inch. So, naturalists observe, a flea Has smaller fleas that on him prey; And those have Bmaller still to bite 'em, And so prooeed ad infinilum." The great satirist strikes at those carping critics, who, inoapable of writ ing themselves, assume a superiority which provokes the bitter wit of my ad? mired author, ? DEAN SWIFT. ? * -?-? Two Old and Tuied Servants.*? A correspondent of the Charleston Aftire? writes as follows from Aiken: I find that wo have hero in Aiken the oldest engineer in the United States. I allude to Mr. Henry Roath, who has charge of the assistant engine which meets hoavy freight trains at Grauiteville and helps them up the steep grade to Aikon. He is a quiet and unassuming man, and has been in the employ of the South Carolina Railroad sinco 1831. He had charge of tho "liest Frieud," the first cngino that ever ran on the road. She was rebuilt. He is about sixty, but looks hearty aud strong, and will probably bo snared many more yenrs of usefulness. I think that when? ever tho day comes, that from physical inability ho has to transfer his iron horse to other hands, tho company would be doing ouly an act of justice to dismiss so faithful a servant with an ample pension. He has with him a ne? gro man named Adam, who has been in the employ of tho railrord for thirty-six years, and hns been tiremnu to Mr. Roath for twenty years. Physically, he is a fine specimen of hin race, and is an honest, well-behaved and respectable old man. Ho, like Mr. Roath, looks as if he had a good many years left in him yet. It is very pleasunt to see the kindly relations that exist between the old engineer and the old firornau. A bood of sympathy, cemented by twenty years of constant intercourse, seems to exist between them. The United States Coctrr.?The fol? lowing is an epitome of the proceedings of tho United States Court, now in ses? sion at Greenville, for tho week ending August 24: /?i Bankruptcy.?In re Wm.

There were, also, a number of reve? nue cases tried and disposed ui. A very curious question now under learned discussion is tho Westward growth of .cities. It is said to be a general toudoucyon the part of wealthy classes to movo Westward aud leave tho Eastern portions of cities to the labor? ing people. Several explanations have been od'ered, all of which, perhaps, con? tribute to the result. Pcplo have u natural disposition to build their gardeus toward the sun-sot, and the same direc? tion is 'preferred for evening walks. Again, thoro is a geuorul disliko of Easterly winds, aud Westerly winds cause the greatest fall in tho barometer and inuudate tho Eastern parts of a towu with tho consequent effluvia. During tho greater part of tho year in Europe the provailiug wind is from tho South-west, and this, cf course, carries tho smoko and bad air towards the North-western quarters of citios, thus rendering thorn les' desirable for resi? dences, 6o says the New Orleans Pica? yune. A Pennsylvania postmistress employs her husband as head clerk. Forther op th? Farmei?' M?vement. The whole effective population of the United States who are engaged in gain? ful or prodootive pursuits, embracing in those terms all trades and professions, domestic employments, commerce, ma? nufactures, mining, navigation and agriculture, numbers a little over 12,000,000 persons. Of that number, nearly 6,000,000, or almost one-half, are occupied with agriculture. In the West? ern States, tbe pioportion of agricul? turists is rather larger, because, in tbe nature of tbings, several important in? dustries, such us mining, navigation and tbe fisheries, are in some measure con? fined to tho Atlantic border, it is ob? vious, from a glance at the figures, that tho agriculturists, if united, must be tbe controlling power it: tbe country, and that it requires only intelligent con? cert among themselves to direct the policy and impress tbe legislation of tho several States, as well as tbo General Government. Feeling that they needed no protection, the farmers have hereto? fore been loth to meddle as a distinctive body in public affairs, and have been content, for the most part, to leave suob matters to those whoso pursuits better admitted of participation in mak? ing laws and administering government. Other interests bavo not been slow to avail themselves of tbo supineucss of agriculture, and bavofouud their advan? tage in combination and action. In? deed, systematically of lute years, they have foisted tboir representative men, and in many cases their pa5-" ageuts, into the legislatures aud all places of power, for tbe exclusive purpose of guiuiug unduo advantages, through the policy or patronage of Government. It i.i only necessary to look at the membership of the leading committees in the Cougref? of tbe United Statco for ample proof of this. At the bead of the Committee of Banking and Currency in the last Con? gress was one of the wealthiest bankers of New Eugland, standing like a senti? nel to prevent any legislation looking to a restoration of a. sound' currency. Wealthy railroad men und shipping men i and manufacturers on other committees, where subsidies were to be considered, land grants to be worked up aud high tariffs to be concocted or reductions re? sisted. And outside, within the potent lobby, the paid agents of them all soli- , citiug, arguing, writing and corrupting in behalf of their employers. What is true of the Congress of the United ; States has been true in degree of the legislatures of the States, but less no? ticeably, because the rauge of subjects over which the former have coutrol is suoh that the interests of the classes which antagonize agriculture may be more immediately und powerfully affect? ed aud promoted by congressional than I by State legislation. Tho legitimate fruit of this course of things has been realized in the depres? sion of agriculture, aud iu tbe exaltation of some other pursuits. Gradually and imperceptibly bavo tho burdens of ugri culture been increasing, and the ad? vantages relatively of other classes been accumulating, until tho ory for redress aud reformatiou is now forced from the too patient tillers of tho soil. They now see and feel that they need protec? tion against tbe protectionists?not that protection which consists in counter favoritism, but simply that protection which sheer justice requires?tho modi? fication or abrogatiou of tno discrimi? nating privileges which ono and nn other clasB have stealthily acquired, the restoration, or approach to it, at least, of that equality which leaves each and every industry free to struggle with any other, untrammeled by undue govern? mental restrictions or patronage. Whe? ther the demand be for the striking down of gross exactions by railroad monopolists, or whether it be'for the providing a currency which shall be ac? cepted by tho Government at the sarxe rate in payment of customs duties as the farmer is required to receive it for a bushel of wheat, or whether it bo for allowing the furiner to have his suit for pork-packing at the same price that tbo fisherman shall get bis Salt for cod-fish and mnckerel, 01 whether it be for ena? bling tho farmer to buy bis implements, his raiment and other needs in manu? factures best he may, without that du plication of taxes in many forme which add ho immensely to tbe cost?these, each and all of them, are grievances, which tho whole country feels, and which it is gratifying to see now colu maud the attention of ho lart';e a class. Whatever burdens fall upon tbo farmer iu the payment of such necessary duties and taxes as the just debts and reasona? ble expenses of maintaining the social and political structure require, ho is willing to share equally and fairly with tho other orders iu tbo social fabric. All beyond that is u grievance, espe? cially now that American manufactures are on such a fooling of development us j to stand alone and to compete success-! fully in the iron iuterost, as we aro now doing, with tho English manufacturers in the home market. All class legis? lation is a grievance and u burden. And tho farmers being, as already stated, tho efficient half of socioty, tbe proposition becomes a startling truth in tho plain ufllrmation that the course of national policy for twelve years past has bcoa a direct oppresfiou upon one-half of tho American people. Tbo foregoiug seems to bo a partial interpolation of the as yot somewhat confused uttcrnuces of tho Western farmers' movement, and which applies in largo degreo to tho labor of the coun? try generally. As has already been in? dicated, thoy seem us yet but vaguely to comprehend the exact relations which they oooupy to tho upbeaviug of ideas which is impending. Tbo first mntter ib?fl of a storm aro indistinct in the men? tal as well us the material world, and the ulotld? Raum to -move Homctitues in one direction and agaiu in uuother.

The case oame up before tbp court, when the defendant put forward; as an offset, a bill against the plaintiff, for damage done to his feelings by the plaintiff having compelled her daughter to break off her engagement with him, whioh he assessed at ?19.62. The plaintiff admit? ted the truth of the allegation, but di mnrred to tho amount; bat tho court thought tho claim a just one, and 'dis? missed the case. TnE Invention of tue Cotton Gin.? Ah ir pretty well known, Eli Whitney, in tho year 17'Jo, invented the cotton saw gin, and thus laid the foundation for the edifice of this country's great? ness as a uottou-produoiug area. Whit? ney was u native of Massachusetts, and moved to Georgia. With scarcely uny appliances usually considered requisite, ho set about his work, which lie brought to a BUcessful issue, though various aud vast improvements have since been madoupon Whitney's mechanism. Uo died in 1825, and is buried iu the ceme? tery at New Huven, Conn. It appears that tho Alsatians ure no more resigned to their fate than they were beforo military government was withdrawn from the province. A Mill bouse correspondent of the llrjntblique I'Yuncaise, Paris, thinks that ul tho next election, they, will nguiu systematically ubstain from voting, as the most empha? tic form of protest against annexation.

This tie consists of a single piece of* iron, without buckles or wedges, is as neat as the tie of a eravit, aud can be made by any blacksmith at oncthcu of the iron. The Syracuse Courier comments us follows upou the removal > f the statue of Jefferson from the front of the White House: "No wonder Grant wanted the statue of Ji ffcrsou taken out of his sight.

But what will the people say to f.ucli vandalism prac? ticed on tho statue of tho author uf the Declaration of Independence?" A uew horse.disease has made its ap? pearance in Iowa.
