It unfortunate for the President and his iniimatc friends that a. pi en wliich is so purely technical, is so poorly adapted to undergo criticism from a technics! standpoint. TUB idea a person in olliciul station, and of tho political importance of Uci'ierul Grant, could not properly take notice of a directly himself, und which formontlni has 'oecn one of the principal topics ot! public curiosity and discussion, is nothing icss than pieposterons affectation. If it is purposed to. wait for the proposition of a third term to come in a palpable form, demanding, in decisive language, refusal or acceptance, no such occasion can arise short of a 1 ''vote by the Electoral College choosing him.

for No second terra President heretofore has ever wailetl ta be prompted, in a and categorical mauner, to the announcement that he did not seek, and would not accept to a third term. Washington (lid not deem it gratuitous or intrusive to declare upon his own rr-otiou, ar.d an early day in his secoritT administration, his decided de- ''sirc to retire a.t its close. Jefferson took care to signify Jciettrly. from the outsat.ot term, that he would not Kmaiu in the Presidency for a longer period than 'Washington had served. In this second term of Madison, and Jackson, it-was well un- (Jeretoba by without any formal of.

tha question, that they would not be candidates for re-election. And doubtless, if Lincoln had lived, his position regarding' the contingency of a term would have been as far removed from discussion or conjecture as thutcf of his second term pre, clecessors. JiofRovov, tho proposition of a third term has been formally broached for the consideration of the President and Ills intimate friends. He has been es- jiressij- renotninated by the Republican Convention of South Carolina, and tacitly renooainated by the Republican Convention.cf New York, while tae. Conventions of Pennsylva- iia and of Kansas have declared against is renomiafttion.

In President has had abundant occasions for disavowing third tsnn aspirations, without incurring the charge of gratuitous utterance, and he have been justified by the high- ssajpe ia mnVing the disavowal even without, -waiting for such occasions. motive of the explanation by the friends of the President, given iii the dispatch referred to, is hardly to be mistaken. They want to relieve Republican party the third -terra handicijt in tho NoTcmber elections, and. to keep Grast free hereafter to leave the qc.estioa to the decision of tiu, people, or, what he and they would Qithtflon 187J. followius rrere nc-n- tnead by "Cook, thin evening, and for Huntnville to-inorrcw Chan.

The track is on a delightful sandy soil, And is probably the best in the State. The inclosaro of a goodly number of oak treea and one magnificent pecan affords shade enough for the first time, and as for water thert, is, thanks to windmill and tank, tho greatest abundance on the grounds for man and beast--In fact, oil tho appoint ments of the place are first rate. On the grounds this evening were very many making entries of implements, manufactures and stock, nor -were tho ladies be hind hand with their handiwork of ai sorts.

Oct. 20,1874. Thu District Court has been in session two weeks, Hon. D. M.

Prendergast, presiding, Major C. B. Pisarre, District Attorney, both of whom nre too. well known to require any specia. praise.

The docket is larger than ever before. Double the number of men are for trial and double tho number hiive beon sentenced than at any previous term of court held in this county, which speaks volumes for the efficiency aud faithfulness of our officers, both judicial and executive. The U. F. T.

have a fine stage and icenery. They have given three entertainments, which were well patronized, and would have done honor to a larger place. There ifl also minstrel troupe organized, who havo rented a building, fitted up a stage, and will soon give their first eatertainmer.t, the proceeds thereof to go toward the erection of n. Baptist church. The town is at present without a place of worship.

The ladies gape an oyster suppur Tuesday evening for the same purposre, and it is said than no less that $1100 bavo also been raised by private subscription. Messrs. J. T. W.

B. Davis, and Mr. John Barkley, of Bryan, havo both completed elegant stores Mr. Barkley also a dwelling-house. The merchants buy Boots and shoos, hardware and dry goous mostly iu New Tork and St.

Louis clothing and groceries iu Galveston and Houston. Cotton comes in very slowly aud this season's shipments will be very light on account of tlio long continued and excessive drouth. Two hundred and ninety- one bales hare been shipped so far. Should there ho no frost, there will bo a considerable second crop of All goes to Galveston and Houston, none to St. Louis or New Orleans, and nearly all by tho Houston Direct Navigation Company beyond Houston.

Mr. Anglice has erected a fine two- story saw and grist mill, and cotton gin, which ia run to its maximum capacity. Old Groesbeeck, BO long tho black sheep of Limestone, having become the county seat, is gradually emerging from the odium of its past, and, though its growth mast necessarily be for ft timo slow, owing to the sparsely settled condition of tho country, yet it is hard to find a finer or healthier location for a town, and all that necessary to make it a first class one is tha manifestation of a proper spirit of enterprise and go-ahead on the part of those having control of land and capital.

The mEnagfsmenl of the Central railroad ia divided into dlvl. northern division citenxta from Denlflcn to. liearnc, a distance of 218 milee; from Denison to Corsicana, a distance of 127 milee.

By ms.lting this stretch confirm to the standard, nhe handling we have mentioned'is and all Uie rolling stock which was woiked on it in relieved, ai.d becomes serviceable between Hearnli and Houston, TliiB gives the advantage of three hundred additional cars, acid reduces tho lalx.r to be performed by broad gauge cam by tho amount of ninety miles, being more than one-third of this distance from Houston to Corsicana, which it previously Hfcrved. Thin relief is of the greatest, importance to QalveBton and Houston merchants. On up country freights it will Have, as ia believed, all delay. Even in the busiest season Mr.

George Haewell, the general manager is of opinion that he can put through without ttat even in her busiest, season. To further facilitate this desirable end, Assistant Superintendent Burton, who is in charge of tho Southern division, extending from Herne to Houston (and also of tho Western division, from Hempstead to Austin,) has had constructed an acre or two more or lees of platforms, on one side of wliich thu broad gauge runa, and on the other thu narrow. Very many other improvements have been made, or rathor are bo- ing made, for a great deal of the work is costly and permaneut. There is a large locomotive house for ten engines almost complete. There in a turn-table, ami there are shops and ottier buildings to be of which will require a large expenditure of money, and ail of which is being done under the officers first named--Burton and Haswell.

There has bee'O but one simultaneous change of grade in the United States before this. That waa as this ia a great feat, and it has bsen successfully accomplished under the direction of M. G. Assistant Superintendent of the Division, and Chief'Engineer Howe. It waa one of those accomplishments in which everything depecds-dn the strict observance of Dave maxim," be sure you are right, and thejn go ahead." To change a railroad the engineer must get a good ready on before he starts.

First, the gauge was aligned and tho inside apiko of the rail driven in its place lor the whole distance. Then all switches and turu-outa were fixed. When this was all done, as it was on' Saturday, the Hoadmastera gathered up their foremen and section hands. The work from Corsicana to Mexia waa under tbs direction Roadmastar Manly; from Mexia to Groesbeeck, under Road- master Spalding; from Groesbeeck to Kosse, under Roadrnaster Ingraham; from Kosso to under Road- master Bryan from Bremond to Calvert, under Roadmaater Grimes from Calvert to Hearne, under the Hearne yardmaster; Thote are thirteen men in a gang, and each gang had four miles. At daylight Sunday morning ihe work began; the spikes were drawn, the iron placed into its new gauge, the outside spikea driven, and the work was done.

At 1 o'clock ft train left Corsicana aad passed over the changed gauge without interruption until it reached Bremond. Here it met Roadmaster Grimes with the doleful in- of the Court. TTjjm, Oct. 28,1974. Tbe following ore owes decided by the Supveme Court to-day, Oct.

But there are one thousand details, not one of which must be amiss or the whole enterprise will miscarry. Tha achievement is one that the Central and its officers may bo proud of it. Its advantage to Galveston is so great that her merchants may pluck up their courage and stiffen their upper lips in consequence. If yesterday was busy all along the line, to-day has been, equally busy here. All tbe machinery for transfer was brought down from Coraicana last night, and erected here.

Democratic and Conservative State Central Committee bave addressed a communication to General Emory, protesting against the action Merrill at Shreveport, in which-they say We have received credible information of the fact that Lewis Merril, Major of the 7th Regiment of United States Cavalry, and officer under your command, did, ou the 22d at the city of Shveveport, make an for the arrest of a largo number of citizens of this State. The offense charged by said officer is one strictly cognizable by the civil courts, and appertains' in no manner to the military service. As you are aware, a political, campaign is being conducted in this State under the Constitution aad laws of the country. The effect intended by the exhibition of zeal of this military officer, can not be otherwise than to throw influence'of the power of his official position against the political party of which we are the organ.

Last night a squad came to my iroth- ftr'a house between 13 o'clock and. daylight and arreEted him without wnant or authority. Took him away from his ncj two little chilren--the midest four years old--and rode him around through the country antil just before daylignt, and then told Tiirn go home, they had ao warrant for him'; but when they came to his Lonae and he told them his name ilarshal looked at a long list and siid he had. a warrant tor him.

His portrait, with his positioBs in the field at tbe battlea of Saratoga Yorktown, are contained in TrumbuH's pictures of those battles in the Capitol at Washington. At the close of the war General Stevens became, and.continued,for many years to be, a merchant in" New York chy, conducting a very large aud prosperous business, chieliy in the West India and the French and Mediterranean trades. He was at the fame time he agent of the French and English governments, and of the War Department of the United States, and was a major general in Stato.

His wife was Lucretia Ledyaid, of Hartford, a eister of the gallant Col.

To the present generation Mr. Stevens was beet known a3 the president of the Bank of Commerce, Nw York, a position which he held for more than a quarter of century: The infirmities of adrancing years induced him to resign his pojition president of the bank in 1866.
