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.

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.

The shows gotten up to exhibit dogs,

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.

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?

United Status vs. Junior Muloucy.
Wilful neglect of duty us u revenue of?
ficer, malfeusuueo in office and allowing

tober term, and transferred to Circuit

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

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. Never

for the edifice of this country's great?

to a BUcessful issue, though various aud
vast improvements have since been

follows upou the removal > f the statue

which it was founded. But what will
the people say to f.ucli vandalism prac?
