A tough-looking citizen walked into one of the Justices’ Courts yesterday forenoon, very much intoxicated, and re- qnired that he be allowed to swear off drinking for a year. His Honor obli- pingly put him through the solemn mo tions, and tho convert, with a confused ramble of well-meant bat profanely ex pressed resolutions, stumbled out of the courtroom. ‘‘Bet he don’t keep it an hour,” said one of the grinning lawyers. “Bet he sticks to it for a week, any how,’* observed the Court, with confi dence. . >- ‘Nonsence 1” cried everybody. “What’ll you bet?” asked the Judge, “Twenty to ten,’’ exclaimed an eager attorney, producing tbemona/. “Done !*’ cried his Honor, and the ♦takes were turned ovor to a Chronicle reporter. , • “Constable,” raid the Court quietly, “go out and fetch that roan back.” In a few minutes the reformed one was drugged in, and the Judge ascended the dais, rapped for order and looked se vere: , “Charged with being drunk,” said the Court. “What’s your plea?” “Guess I’m full,” admitted the pris oner, with an idiotic smile. ‘•Ten days in the country jail.

The glittering cold steel of these facts should puncture the third term movement effectually, for it demonstrates that Gen eral Grant, if ho should be nominated next year, would fall as a candidate by the weight of his own record. It would be enough against the expediency of his candidacy to mention the factions thst would savagely oppose him, and those that would give him a lukewarm support; and, yet, they would not be half so dangerous enemies as the great army of thoughtful, conservative Republicans, who would either vote against him or not vote at all in case of his nomination, be cause of the fact that he would be a third term candidate, and because of tho character of his administration. Even the press of the Republican party would not be vnited upon him; indeed, life strongest and most powerful moulders of public opinion in the country and party would fight him to the lust hour that the polls ore open.
