THE PALLADIUM.

Published every "Wcduesday.SI.50 peryear RICHMOND. IBH., MVTSK S, 1S7S.Frealdent Grant's "ThlrdjTerTn" . letter. With much satisfactiojT-we . lay before our readers the Signified, .and brief letter of General Grant, to the presiding officer of the Pennsylvania State Convention. He well says that "it may hapeo in the future history of the country that to change an Executive because he lias bceu , eight years in office, will prove unfortupate, if not disastrous." We can well imagine, had the Democratic rebellion continued until after the expiration of Abraham Lincoln's secokd term, and had the Dcmpcratie assaseiu not struck him down, the "unfortunate," if not disastrous consequences to the country, of "swapping horses" whilst crossing, at that time, the Democratic river "Styx." Such an exigency,conBidering the devilish temper of the people of the South, mat happen in the future, that the President deprecate?. But to the main question the "third-term" issue, forced upon the President's notice by the unmeaning howls of the Democratic "and Independent press, at last reaching him through the prominence given it by a Republican Convention, he gives it a quietus, in the minds of all sensible and reasonable men. Taking into consideration the universal opinion of the Republican press against a "third term," and the almost unanimous opinion of every prominent Republican in th l.i ml in nnnoRitinn to it there is a peculiar significance to this paragraph of the President's letter: "I would not accept a nomination if it were tendered, unless it .-should come under such circumstances -as to make it an imperative duty circumstances NOT 'LIKELY , TO .. ARISE' Then, again, considering the unanimous declaration of the Pennsylvania Republican State Convention against the "third-term" racxv the President was charged with seeking, the; President shows the true grit of Republican acquiescence, when he says : "1 congratulate the Convention over .which you presided, for the harmony which prevailed, and for the exec-Heat ticket put in tbe field, and which.I hope may be triumphantly elected."' His letter is right. and to. the point, and hereafter on this "third-term"' myth, so far as General Grant is concerned, "Let us have peace 1". : 'It! no:.'" A Most Convenient Howl. In order to ; uproot and root out anything they take a fancy to oppose, there arc quite a squad of "independent" roosters, who think it "is. only necessary to set up a vigorous and persistent howl of "ring!" "ring!!"' in order to accomplish their purposes. The latest cry is the official "ring," composed of "army officers and White House politicians" to gam possession of the "Blai k Hills "country," made, no doubt, to draw ofl attention from efforts on the part of the government to keep faith with the Indians and keep the numerous, organized baiitLs of gold-huntera from taking possession of the proier.ty belonging tp the Indians. As these ''independents" seem to be so fond of talking about "rings" wearing '.em Jn their nofes would cure their rooting propensity and be a good thing for ihemaiid the country. A little son and daughter of Peter Wilcox, Shelby county, on : Monday last, while playing in a chicken-house, managed to set fire to it. The. ooor being locked, the children climbed in from the top.

THE THIRD TERM. -A Letter ironi PniMfnt Grant. Washington, Ma 30. President Grant has written the following letter to General Harry White, President of the recent Pennsylvania Republican State Convention : - ''Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C-, May 29, 1875. j v "Dear Sir A short time subsequent to the Presidential election of 1872, the press, a portion of it, J hostile to the Republican party, and particularly so to the Administration, started the cry of Caesarism and third term, calling lustily for me to define my position on the latter subject. I believed it to be beneath the dignity of the office which I have been twice called upon to fill to answer such a question before thja subject should be presented by competent authority to make a nomination, or by a body of such dignity and authority as not to make a reply a fair subject of ridicule. In fact,' I have been surprised that so many sensible per sons in the Republican party should permit their enmity to force upon them and their party an issue which cannot add strength to the party, no matter how met. But a body of the dignity and party authority of a convention to make nominations for the State officers of the second State in the Union having consid ered this question, I deem it not improper that I should now speak. "In the first place, I never sought the office for a second nor even for a first nomination. To the first I . was called from a ,lif e position one created by Congress expressly for me, for supposed services rendered to fhe Republic. The position vacated I Jiked. It would have been most agreeable to me to have retained it until such time as Congress might have consented to my retirement, with the rank and a portion of the emoluments which are so , much needed, to a home .where the balance of my days ruight be, spent in. peace and 1 ho enjoyment of; domestic quiet, retired from cares which hayo oppressed me so constantly now for fourteen years. But I w as made to believe that the public good called me to make tho sacrifice. "Without seeking the offico for . the . second term, ; tho nomination was tendered to me by a unanimous vote of tho delegates of all the States and Territo ries selected by the Republicans of : each to represent their whole number for tho purpose of making a nomination. - I can not say that I was not pleased at this, and at the overwhelming indorsement which their action received at the election following; but. it ; must be remembered that all the sacrifices, except that of cpmfort, had been made in accepting the 'First Term.' Then, too, such a fire of personal abuse nud slander had ' been kept up for four years, notwithstanding the consciousness of the performance of the duties to the best of my understanding though I admit, in the light : of subsequent events, many times subject to fair criticism that an indorsement from the people, who alone govern republics, was a gratification that it is only human to havo appreciated and cd joyed.. "Now for, the 'third terni.V I do not want it ny more than I did the first. I would not .write or utter a word to change the will of ) the people in expressing and having theii choice. The question of the number of terms allowed to any

one Executive can only come up fairly in the shape of a proposition to amend the Constitution, a shape in whicn ; all political parties can participate, fixing the length 'of time or the number of terms for .which any one person , shalj be eli gibie lor. the. othce of .President Until such an amendment is adopt ed, the people cannot be restricted in their efcoice by resolutiorfiurther than they are now restricted as to age, nationality, &c. It may happen in the future history of the country that to change an Executive because 1x3 has been eight years in offico will prove unfortunate, if not disastrous. Tho idea that any man could elect himself President, or even to renominate himsejf. is preposterous. . It is a reflection upon the intelligence and patriot ism of tho people to suppose such a' thing possible. Any man can destroy his1 chance for the1 office, but no ono can force an election or even a nomination. "To recapitulate, I am not, noi haye I ever been a candidate for a reuomination. I would not accept a nomination . if it were tendered, unless it should come under such circumstances as to make-it an imperative duty circumstances not .likely to arise. I congratulate the Convention over which you , pre sided, for the harmony which prevailed, and for the-excellent ticket put in the field, and which I hope may be triumphantly elected. . "With great . rpspect, . your obe dient servant, U. S. Grant. , f'To General Harby White, Pres id't Pennsylvania Republican State Convention." . . "Mr. Til ton's derelictions, what ; ever they may havo been, have nothing whatever to do with Mr. Beecher's innocence or guilt; and the extraordinary efforts of the defense to prove these derelictions against the plaintiff, instead of dis proving his positive charges, has all the force of a virtual acknowl edgment" Golden Age. Mr. Tilton's character has a great deal to do with it. . If he is a visionary and foolish person, a lying sneak and conspirator, so ab sorbed in himself as to be incapable of justice to others or of telling the truth under any circumstances,that would corroborate the testimony of Mr. Beecher. The Beecher scandal was matured in a small circle, ! Monl ton's house being the central point, and the character of the npreons who nrndncfirl it is liirrMv I i x e j I important, and must be taken in I testimony. Cin. Commercial.

Pennsylvania - RennfcMean Conven- . tion. . ; ' This convention, which met at Lancaster, Perm., on the 26th,

nominated Gen. Hartrauft for reelection by acclamation, and adopt ed the following, excellent plat form ; .. . . 1. Equality of all men before the law, equal justice to all and special favors to none. , . 2. Harmony of National and State governments. Both are parts of one system, alike necessary for the common prosperity, peace and security. ' 3. Unity of the nation. ve are one people ; the Constitution of the United States forms a government, not a league. 4. Faithful execution of the laws, an economical administration of tho government, integrity in office, honesty in all branches of the civil service, and a rigid accountability of public officers. 5: Protection to home industry, and a home market for home pro ducts.' " 6. Right of the laborer to 'protection and encouragement, and piomotion. Harmony between la bor and capital. 7. Cheap transportation and closer intercourse between all parts of the country. - 8. Pree banking, a safe and uniform natioual currency adjusted to the growing wants of the business interests of tho country,, an I a steadv reduction of the national debt" - 'V . 9. The public domain, being the heritage of the '. people, should be reserved for actual settlers exclu sively. . 10. Equalization of the bounties of soldiers, and a speedy settlement of all just claims arising out of the late war. : 'r 11. Honest men in office; men with brains enough to know, dishonesty when they see it, and conrage enough to fight it wherev er they find it. - 1 The feeling in ' the convention jsras decidedly hostile to a third term,1 and when the resolution in t the plat form was read, spectators and delegates joined in demanding a second reading. The opinion is expressed that there was no necesitv for such an emphatic ' expression, Jbut anti-third term men do manded that the resolution on the subject should not bo misnnder stood. Tho following is its text: Resolved, That we declare a firm and unqualified adherence to the nnwritten law of the ' Republic; wuicn wisely, ana unaer uie sanction of ths most venerable of examples, limits the presidential service of any citizen to two : terms, and we, the Republicans of Pennsylva nia, in rr cognition of this law, are unalterably opposed to the election to the Presidency of any person for a third term, The remaining resolutions, fully indorse the administration of President Grant, and characterize it as among the most brilliant achievements in tho annals . of the nation. !

I ' We fear our readers overlooked, in the mass of telegraphic matter published by the nter-Oeean on Wednesday, the report of the address delivered by the Hon. Robert Ould in Richmond. Va., on Tuesday evening, 31ay 26. The occasion was the International Convention of Young Men's Christian Associations of the United States nnd British Provinces. Quid's lancnace to which we allude was as iollows : "Speaking not only for myself, but 3 I believe for my people, I hesitate not to declare that as to matters civil, political, or national,' it is immaterial whether we or you are loyal-to rebel, so long as we nil maintain the faith as it is in Christ Jesus, and acknowledge 'his supremacy as -Lord of all. I know no other test ol Christian fellowship and confidence. I put no other upon any man, and suffer none to be put on me. -I exact no apology ior any sincere and conscientous ao tion on any civil or political matters in the past, will give none when it is required oi ine, and will hold in egual scorn any attempt made in either direction. To all who- are disposed to "spy out our liberty,' and put you ' or me in condemnation in this respect, I say with St. Paul,- 'vegive place by subjection 1. No, not for an hour.' " What a strong resemblance this bears to the defiant Christianity, exhibited by our- Southern brethren previous to the rebellion ! Such men nos.only need a new reconstruction, hat a new conversion. Inter-Ocean. It is the Springfield Republican's suggestion thatGovernor Allen rather than the philosophical . Luierson shoul 1 have been selected to rea'd tho Declaration of -Independence "at the Philadelphia Centennial in , 18T5. There's n doubt thai the Governor has a fog-horn which was once more sonorous than any of thosewith which Profos.-or Tyndall recently machi acoustic experiments on the south coast of Eneland; but unfortunately, like the old Liberty Bell, which hangs silent .in Independence Hall, it has a crack in it. Ben. Lggleston's foghorn, however, is sound and nothing but sound. It could be heard from the steps of Independence Hall to the eicsts of the Alleghenie?. If J-iinerson declines, Ben., is cntitieu to the position of reader. : , His pronunciation is so elegant that' if is the despair of all elocutionists. 1 Mr. Richard II. Dana, jr., ha.s received from the Lexington Centennial Committee a silver medal ip recognition of his-services as orator at their recent celebration.- It was struck ?.t the Philadelphia Mint, and is a little smaller than the old American silver dollar, bearing on one side the seal of . the town, surrounded by the historical words: "What "a glorious morning for America !" and on the other the words : "Centennial celebration of the battle ol Lexington, April 19, 1875." The case inclosing it bears the stamp: "Presented by tho town of Lexineton." . . " - The fact has been de6nitely settled, and by due legal process, that a man and his wife are two separate and distinct individuals, and not enc, as has Lsen heretofore claimed by some people. Recently the wife ot a New York gentleman drew against his bank account to the amount of 2,950, and the gentleman compelled him to reimburse bim. That may be regarded as a settlement of the question of duality of man and wife. The Springfield Republican cannot be aeeused of any partiality for the Republican party, nor with cherishing any desire for its success. . Yet it is moved to say ot the recent action of Governor Weston, of New Hampshire, and his associates, in seating the two Democratic Senators, that i was worse than a crime.' It characterizes it as a ''particularly ill-timed and stupid blunder," which the Democratic party will be very sorry for shortly. Putting aside the question of the legality of the action of Governor Weston and his council, it is now very generally conceded that it has done great harm to his party and conferred corresponding benefit on the Republican organization. No man is really poor who is able to work. His wages represent a capital, the interest of which would equal his wages. If he can earn ?")00 a year, he is worth that sum which, put at interest, would earn the same.

International Typographical Union "The twenty-third session - of c the International Typographical Uuion commences in Boston, Masa., on the first Monday in June next," and -will probably remain in session until tbe Friday fallowing. So far as we arc advised, no measures proposing any radical changes in the organization are likely to be brought forward, the experience of former years proving that the Union is averse to making experiments in new laws,' or unnecessary amendments to old ones.'

There should also be an interesting report from the special committee of thirteen, appointed to receive subscriptions in aid of the monument to Horace Greeley.

' . f ; HnyrDar at Plymouth Church. The special correspondent of ..the Cincinnati Commercial, under date of May 26, gives the following interesting description of the "Children's Day" at Brooklyn: . . . "There is a beautiful custom in Brooklyn of annually celebrating the 20th ol May as 'Children's Day." The city and all its streets are surrendered to the children. The Suuday-pchool children, numbering 70,000, who enjoy what is known. as their "May walk," when they parade about,, decoratecl with flowers and carrying little flags, hold festivals at the parks and in tho churches, singing hymns, list ening to addresses and eating nice thmcs. 1 believe it was Ueccher who invented tho 'Children's May Day,' of Brooklyn. But 1 guess he borrowed the idea from the customs of auoient times and other countries.. - -At ail events the three thousand children of the Sunday-schools connected with his church have the gayeEt time on their May day, and Beecher is always particularly exuberant as he revives their floral and allectionatc honi3ge. At 1 o'clock, I went down to Btccher s church. A crowd ot children j surrounded it, and the vast edifice j itself presented the most pictim-sque spectacle. It was filled witk,. boys ; and girls, most of them gaily, dressed. though there were many poor owes , among them, and hundreds qi (hem holding aloft their bannerets or gon falons. There were small toddlers of four or five, lads and lasses from ten . to fifteen, young men and im.idens J from filteen to nineteen or, twenty, all of whom had marched in procession j through the streets to this- place.; On their flags were pictures or in crip j tions, such as 'Jesus, our Shepherd,' 'Christ, our C.iptain,' 'God is - Love." j and so iorth. When I entered, the I; church they were on their feet, sing-1 iug a . hymn, and a. more beautiful ( spectacle you never saw. After" this, a short prayer was offered by Deacon Bell, who recent!' appeared as one of j Tilton's witnesses in tbe trial. Then a briei and lively address was made J to them. When the speaker began j telling of his love for Beecher, the I three, thousand c. children cheered, waveu uieir iias, aim couiu iiaruiy i restrain their enthusiasm. Their rip- , pling laughter at his good points was like that of Xpnoolinn' Greeks when 1 he caught sight of the Hellespont. I i From the church the children marched to Beecher's house, headed by a baud of music, which planted itself before his door. Beecher stood bareheaded on the front steps, surrounded by his wife and all his family for the hour the long line of children moved past him, waving their fl-ig, cheering and throwing their, flowers at him. The good little ones threw them at his feet, others tossed them so that he could catch them. The' j very good ones walked up the steps and handed them to him; the very wicked ones threw them at his nose, as he shook with laughter, and guafdpd ns face with Ins haudi. Beecher stood deep in flowers, and held arm full of flowers. The more splendid j 1 1 1 . - -. J J T auu cimu!ui were carricu up ami handed to his old wife, who was f-oon almost hidden from sight by flowers as tall as herself. Still fhe band played, and the flags waved, till the ."Married Vomen's Bible Class,".foruu-rly in charge of Mrs. Tilton, came along, and. then the "Married Men's Bible Class," from whom arose a loud cheer for Beecher, and the procession was over. Mr. Beeehcr.himself then began to distribute the floral tributes among the ma-s ol ragamuftin3 who had gathered to see the sight, lie threw them to tho tni IIium Vinnl.-iil f hnm in flirt girls, and kept everybody 'laughing in sympathetic jollity. I believe thec-hil- J tlreu , marched ironi his'hou.?c to a park, and then to bis church, where they got a least, but I did not .see this part of the business. Beecher had a happy day of it. Tens of thousands of other children besides those ol his church were out, and all the streets of the city were picturesque with their procession?' ;.

FROM LIBERTY. - 1 June 1, 1S75. The public schools closed last week, The closing exercises were very interesting, and reflected much credit, both on the teachers and scholars. Proi. R. W. Wood, the Principal, appears fully to understand his business. This was his second year, and will undoubtedly be employed again, as the School Board are fully aware of his ability as a Principal and Sucrintendent. Liberty is to have a new fifteen thousand dollar school-house this summer. The carpenters are now taking down the old one. ' ' The most exciting theme the past week was the convention of the Wainnn's Suffrage Association held here Tuesday and Wednesday last.' Mrs. Dr. Thomas, President presiding; Dr. H. H. -Moore, and J. P. Kennedy were chosen Vice Presidents.; There were a number of female speakers present from a distance. . Mrs. Camp-! bell, of Chicago, appeared to he. the champion.' All their meetings -were well attcndcd.and good attention was noticeable. The delegates were entertained by the citizens' hospitality. Their meetings were not in vain. . The Union County Sabbath School was held in Liberty, last Saturday. It was undoubtedly the most success'ful one ever held in the county, i A 'good work is being done in nearly all parts of the county.
