The followins frotn tb Trr-.. . o vruteue is wortliv of atten perusal and nnmocf" .--. tive tion. The only notable error we discover in it is the idea of a disor! gam zed Democracy Ju? rdba,ity "tlmt Mr. Grant 1l,be arfan.1-late for a third term U1 J-residential office is every uuy u&sunimg more positive shape and excitin iirougnout the country, The estab lishment m ev York of an Admin istration paper The Republic on a basiis of 500,000 capital, of which we had news a few days ago by tele graph, shown how deftly in earnest are the President and his supporters that his tenure of office should be extended, and that no means will be left unexhausted to accomplish that end. Many people have the impression that two terms of Presi dential office is the limit prescribed by the Constitution. This is a mis take. The Constitution oilers no bar to as many consecutive terms as the people choose to give and the candi date for their sntl'rages accept, but with the example of previous Presi dents before the country, the two term usage has grown to be consid ered almost as binding as if it were a constitutional prescription. It is, therefore, something in the nature of a shock to established precedent, when we find a President desiring to break through this time-honored custom, and intelligent people move themselves uneasily, for they are in doubt as to where the innovation will lead. "Without indulging in partisan politics from which" we have at all times been careful to keep our columns free we may be permitted to touch this question briefly from the broad stand-point of the whole country; for it is a matter so importaut that before it mere par ty considerations sink to insignifi cance. "We avow ourselves unequiv ocally and unhesitatingly opposed to the Third Term proposition, but if Mr. Grant desires it and all the signs of the times jioint to the fact that he does we must admit, after mature reflection, that circumstances have arranged themselves so favor ably for the accomplishment of his design, it is almost impossible for any opposition, short of revolution, to break them down. The most powerful motors in favors of a Third Term are the financial interests of the country, and the conservative in fluence of the tremendous national debt. Bond holders do not wish to drift into the uncertainty of a change of administration, if votes can be had to retain affairs as they are at present, and capital, in one way or another, with its IJriarean hands, can giit her in these votes, for the poor em j dove knows by bitter experience that the independent exercise of this political privilege is but a simple substitute for bread and butter. Again, the ' noble- army of those who fatten on the. public crib, would consider this lliird ierm possible a game 2ecniar to their hands. The President would have no more ar dent supporters, for his success would mean a continuation to them for four vears longer or more' -of the sweets of official life. Then, too, there are thousands who yet regard President ( rant as a second "Wash ingtonwith this difference, that he is reluctant to pronounce a farewell address and think no reward too mu nificant for his services. Tin's class if found principally in remote dis tricts of the West. Another strong dependence may be seen in the com plete control Mr. Grant's partisans have of the colored vote of the South. The majority of the voting element of the country may in fact be said to be under the direction of the Presi dent; in the North by the capitalists and large employers, in the South by designing politicians. To assail this strongly-buttressed position, there is a disorganized Democratic party, some discontented Republi cans" who grow restive at the situ ation, but cannot help themselves, regard even the support of the Third Term.ambition preferable to striking hands with their old-time political foes. There is another power of comnarativelv recent growth, that has come into prominence in this country, particularly in the States of the upper part ol tne .Mississippi Valley. We mean the Grangers. They "propose, it would seem, to take a ha'rid in the next Presidential light, and talk of having at command a million votes. They are just as like ly to be a strong element in favor of President Grant as against him, pro vided the concessions they seek are granted, and the obstacles of which they complain rtmoved. If Mr. Grant and the present administration regard their organization and its ob jects favorable, and the necessary pledges are made, they would just as lief throw their influence for him as for Elihu 13. Washburne or New ton liooth. The strongest man for their purpose is the man they want, and President Grant has that strength.

LUKi: HARDING THli SCOUT; OR, Tlie Lost Bride of Jlitroii. by ARTrrrn l. mesep.ve. CHAPTER I. THE MISSING MAIDEN. "Reuben, where can Martha be? she ought to have been at home an hour ago. I wish the child wouldn't wander off into the forest as she does. I don't take a minute's peace while she is gone. The woods are full of Red skins, and there is no telling what may happen to her." It was Ruth Allen who uttered these winds, as she stood in the door of her cabin, which commanded a view of the wide spreading vaters of the Huron, which were gleaming like a great sheet of gold in the lighl of tlie setting sun. They were ad dressed to her husband who stood leaning on his rille. iust outsiAo ilm door, where he had paused before entering, after a day's tramp in the woods. His wife had met him there with an anxious look upon her face, the reason for which was declared by her words. "I don't think the redskins would do her any harm, Ruth," answered tlie settler. " You can't exiect to keep her iu the houso all the time. She likes a tramp in the forest as well as I do. If she had been a boy she would have, been one of the best hunters there is on the border. She is a good deal better shot now than a good .many I know of who pride themselves on what they can do with the rilie. Don't worry, Ruth. She is able to take care of herself. There are some of the redskins who likelier as well as though she belonged to their own race. They would not harm her for their life." "There is one of them, Reuben, that likes her altogether too well, and that is one reason for my worry ing. The last time he was here, I am sure there was a look upon his face that meant no good." Reuben Allen smiled at these words of his wife. "You mean the young chief, Red Cloud. I have thought myself that he was in love with her, but there ain't any danger of her marrying him so long as Hugh Lyman is around. Hugh ain't back from his hunt, fori called at the cabin as I came along. When he does come, I guess yon will Martha is with him." "I hope she may be. I can't help worrying about tlie child when she is on m mis way. riie hikcs alter you, Reuben. She had rather be in the woods, I do believe, than any where else." "Well, I don't blame her. There is fun there. But as you say, Ruth, she ought not to venture too far alone. Win n she comes back I will give her a talking to myself." "And a great deal it will amount to, Reuben. I know just how it will end. It will wind up by your tell ing her to go as often and stay as long as she likes." " I guess I don't humor her any more than you do, Ruth. You know you cant make up your mind to scold her, no matter what she mav do." Mrs. Allen made no answer to this; but she kept her gaze fixed with an anxious look awav in the direction from which she expected Martha to appear. For the next few minutes there was a silence between them. The sun sank low behind the tree tops, and its golden light was forsaking the waters of the lake, and flashing upward to resj on the lleecv clouds that rested above it. A little longer and the shadows of night would be gin to gather over the lake and wood, cabin and clearing. Suddenly Mrs. Allen exclaimed: "Here comes Hugh, Reuben; and Martha is not with him!" It was indeed as she said. The young hunter, Hugh Lyman, with his rille over his shoulder, was ap proaching and alone. Martha was not with him, nor were there any signs of her coming about the clear ing. A shade of disquiet passed over and lingered upon the face of Reuben Allen. It was certainly past the time that Martha should be back. Was it possible that his wife's fears miirht be. well-founded, and that some harm had come to her? He would not believe it yet, for the sav ages had always evinced a friendly spirit toward him and his. Hugh Lyman approached the cab in, and as he came near his eyes wan dered about as though he was in search of one of its inmates who was not yet visible. " Have you seen anything of Mal tha," demanded Mrs. Allen, speaking before the vouncr man had even the chance to salute them. "No." he answered with a start. " is she not here? When did you see her last?" "She went into the forest this af ternoon. saying she would be back in an hour or two. She has not come vet. and I am afraid some harm has come to her." The anxious look which had come so suddenly unon the face of the vouncr man deepened at this. " I don't see where she can be," he said. " I came along by the places where I knew she was apt to go, but saw nothing of her. Surely shecouh not have gone in her accustomed di rection. " She went the usual way," an swered Mrs. Allen. Reuben, I have felt all the afternoon as though sonie- ; tuinff was wrong i , , I tell you some harm has come to Martha." " Here comes Will Kingman," ex claimed the settler. He has been in the woods, to-day, and it may be that he brings some news. He seems in haste about something." cr;ff wurfl the Btndes of tne new-comer that in a very few mom ents he stood by the side of those ' -ho vers vatcbicg for his approach.

"No; do you know aught of her?" demanded Hugh Lyman, before the others could speak. "Yes. The redskins have carried her off." A cry of anguish burst from the lips of Mrs. Allen. " How do you know this? What have you seen?" demanded the set tler. "As I was passing along near the shore of the lake, about two miles from here, something like an hour ago, I heard the cry of a woman in the direction of the water. I thought I recognized Martha's voice, and hurried as fast as I could toward the shore. When I got there, I saw a canoe out upon the lake, and in it I could see there was a woman and three or four savages. They were going at a swift rate through the wa ter, and of course I was powerless to do anything. I stood and watched the canoe for a while, but no other sound came from it. Then I started for home along the shore, and in a little while I came to a spot where there were footprints upon the sand, ana mingieu witn tnem, those ot a woman. Half covered in the sand I found this. Is it Martha's?"' He held up as he spoke a piece of red ribbon, torn and soiled. "Yes, it is Martha's. O Reuben, our child is lost to us!" cried Mrs. Allen in tones of anguish, as she looked with white face into that of her husband. CHAPTER II. U'KE HAimiNG, THE SCOUT. "No, she is not lost to you." cried Hugh Lyman. " If ii is in the pow er of man fo do it, we will find her and bring her back. There is not a man in the settlement but what will join us in the search. Keep up a good heart, Mrs. Allen, and all may yet be well. You shall have her again, and the redskins shall be pun ished for what they have done. I wish Luke Harding was here, ne would be worth a half dozen of us in this case." " But I have not seen him for days," said Reuben Allen. " Almost all his time is spent in the forest, and to find him now would be next to im possible. We have got only our selves to depend upon." " And that is enough," said Hugh, " It will be a pity if the crew I can muster will not find and bring her back." "Alas! you know not where they have taken her," said Mrs. Allen. "They were on the lake when "Will Kingman saw them, and how can you track them on the water? And there is no telling to what hiding place they may carry her. Oh, my child! I fear I may never see you again!" "We trill find her," cried Hugh Lyman, "Will," he said, turning to the new comer, "you have I suppose no idea what savages they were who were iu the canoe." "No; but stop, perhaps I have a clue. As I went into the forest I saw Red Cloud hurrying about the edge of the clearing. You don't suppose that he mav have had a hand in the matter?" " Yes, I am sure of it," cried Mrs Allen. " He has been, in his wav a sort of lover of Martha's, although she has always laughed in his face, I feel sure it is him who has stolen her away. "I am not sure but what vou are ritrht." said Hugh Lyman. " Martha told me the other day that he used some muttered threats against her. The villain! Let me but meet him, and he shall pav dearly for this after noon s work. I know pretty near the spot where he would be likely to take her. I will pick up a crew, and man a boat, and be off for the place at once. There is no time to be lost " I will go with you," said Reuben Allen. " Ruth, do you remain and bear the suspense as well as you can, I dont think that Red Cloud will do her any injury at present. If he does our vengeance upon him will be terrible. 4 Go. Reuben. Go Hugh. It will seem an age to me ociore you win uu , -n i back. If you do not bring her, my heart will be broken " Be of good cheer, wife, we will do what we can," and imprinting a kiss upon her pale cheek, the hus band and father hurried down to the shore whither the young men had already preceded him, giving the alarm to the rest of the settlers as they went. A large boat which was owned jointly by the settlers was lying there and in a iew moments, more than enough had volunteered to go than was rciiuired to man it. The crew being selected, they pushed off, and those on the shore watched its de parture until the fast increasing dark ness bid it irom tneir sigut By common consent Hugh Lyman took the lead of the party. He knew something of the haunts of Red Cloud and his warriors, and he was in hopes in them to find trace of her thev sought. But it was a long way thereto, and he knew the short summer night would bo spent before they would arrive there. When some quarter of a mile dis tant therefrom, the light of a camp fire gleamed full and wan through the early morning light, ana gave them hopes that those whom they sought were gathered about it. But as they drew nearer, they found in that they were mistaken. A solitary figure stood beside it, with his hands resting upon his rifle He made no motion as they drew nearer, but apparently kept his eye fixed upon them, watching closely their every movement Suddenly Hugh Lyman, who was standing in the prow of the boat ex clained t3 he rcinted toward the shore, and the figure standing so motionlessly there: It is Luke Harding! We haye got some one to help us now, who is a host in himself. The scout is more than a match for any savage that ever lived." ; This is lucky, indeed," said Reu ben Allen. Next to finding Martha herself, nothing could bo better. If any man can help us in our search it is he who is standing there. Pull, boys, and let us get to him as soon as we can. Thev did pull with a will, and in a few mora en ts the prow of the boat grated upon the sand close to the spot where the scout was standing. The latter had recognized them, and ho had stepped down to the water s edge to greet them. " What means all this. Hugh?" lie said, as he grasped the hand of the young man who was the first to spring ashore. In a few words he told him what their errand was, and asked him to lend them his aid in the search. "Of course I will," he answered. Luke Harding ain't a man to hang back when he is wanted in such a matter as this. And so Red Cloud has stole away yer daughter, has he?" he added, turning to Reuben Allen. "Well, if he dont rue the day he done this, then you call me a liar." Do yon know where we would be likely to find him?" said the fath er anxiously. I think I do. If I ain t mightly mistaken he ain't a mile from the spot where we are standing. I be lieve I can take you to him in less than half an hour." "Do so, and wo shall forever be obliged to 3-011," said Hugh eagerly. " I'll do it, boy; and I ask but one thing in return. If we find the gal, make her your wife at once. Don't run any risk of leaving her again." Hugh did not reply by words, but his looks showed he would profit by this advice. CHAPTER III. nOW THE SEARCH RESULTED. Only a few words passed between the members of the party, and then under the lead of Luke Harding they set oil through the forest. But one thought was uppermost in the minds of all, and that was to res cue Martha. Had she been a wife or sister of each, they could not have been more concerned for her safety. None questioned the leadership or knowledge of the scout, for they well knew there was none in all that sec tion of the country so competent as he to perform the work they had in hand . Without a word and hardly a sound they went on through the forest, which was now illumined by the beams of the rising sun. For something like half an hour they kept on, and then suddenly, the scout who was still in the advance, paused; and signed for his compan ions to do the same. Thev obeyed, looking eagerly about them iu search of some cause for his motions. But they saw nothing but the sol- 11 -t V emu, unbroken lorest aronnu mem. There were no signs of the pres- ence ol a living being save them selves. What is it?" asked Hugh in a low- tone. " Do you see anything of the redskins?" "Hush!" answered Luke; " we are close to the spot where Red Cloud has a village of his own. Sometimes he has a half-dozen warriors with him, and sometimes he is here alone. I think, from the signs I have seen, that he has them with him now. Fol low me close, and don't make any more noise than though you were treading on air. In my mind, he has got the girl with him here, and if we hope to get her away from him safe and sound, we ve got to be eautious, for he is as cunning as a fox." This somewhat long speech, for him, the scout, was delivered in al most a whisper, and then the whole Dartv moved on again, with such caution that hardly a sound was auu ible to their own ears, save that of their half suppressed breathing. In this manner they went on for something like a dozen rods, and then another signal from the scout brough them again to a stand-still lie iointed before him, and they all peered eagerly forward In a little natural opening in the forest, three wigwams were standing A thin smoke was curling up Irom their roofs, showing that they were all tenanted, and that their inmates were already astir. The one in the center was more pretentious than the others, and to this Luke Harding pointed. " Red Cloud is there," he said. "Now, to find out if ho has Martha with him." "How shall wo do it?" asked Hugh in a whisper. "We must walk straight up to it. Red Cloud has pretended that he was a friend of the whites, and so we will go on as if nothing had happened. But we will approach as noiselessly as possible, so that he will not have the advantage if he wants to take it." Bidding them by a motion of his hand, to follow him, he lead the way straight toward the wigwams. They had approached to within twenty feet of the one occupied by Red Cloud, before a sound was heard or a savage showed himself. Then a voice fell upon their ears, which they recognized at once. It was that of Martha Allen, and she was pleading to some one for liberty. That one, they knew, could be none other than Red Cloud himself. The words she uttered fell distinct ly upon their ears. " Let me go home," she 6aid. "Set m at ltifirtr ana none stum know of your acts toward me tell thorn that I lost mywa; t :ii lost my way in the 6rd all night. If forest, and vtcderfed all night i 52. your heart is not made of stone, I beg of you to let me go home."- The answer came, and they recog nized the speaker at once. "The heart of Red Cloud is not made of stone. He loves the whiter, maiden, and would make her his wife. If he lets her go, the pale face hunt er will claim her. Rather , than she should bo his, he wcnld slay the maiden before the sight of another O sun. Let her be content and dwell in the lodge oi Red Cloud. Let her think no more of her white lover, for she will never see him again." "Boys, come on." The next moment they were at the entrance of the wigwam. The skin: of a huge bear enclosed the entrance, o and dashing this aside, the scout and Hugh entered, followed close by their companions. One glance showed Red Cloud that all was lost. Quick as thought, ho grasped a tomahock, and sprang tow ard Martha, who, with outstretched hands, was welcoming her friends, though she was bound so that she could not advance toward them. That he meant her destruction there was no doubt, but he did not achieve it. Before he reached her side, ft blow from the knife of the scout end ed his career forever. There is little more to add. '-The savages m the other wigwams, see ing the odds were against them, rled into the forest, and vanished away, leaving our friends to return to the settlements in safety, where, a few days after. Martha became the wife of Hugh, who had loved her long and well. A Southern View. The people of this coast have but a slight conception ol tlie and oppressions of the Radical dy nasty at Washington exercised orr the helpless South, and consequent ly do not properly sympathize with that people. The Saudersville Her ald thus speaks of the action of the McEnry government in Louisiana: Poor Louisiana! Unable longer to bear the fearful outrages iijjon her decent citizens, the people rose' in their might as a free and liberty loving people and threw off the yoke of a tyranny which from its de liberate features and diabolical con sumation resembled the autocratic power of a past age of conquest. Lieut. Gov. Penn headed the militia of the civ of Now Orleans and over threw the Kellogg dynasty, seized upon the State property and installed the legitimate officers of the State in their respective offices. Kellogg, after his pets had been whipped out and he load retreated from the State House to the U. S. Custom HdaSt?, applied to General Grant, President of the Northern and Western States of America, and Military Ruler and Autocrat of and over the down trod- ,- den and overpowered South. That Noble Ca?sar, " most noble Koman Of them all," thereupon issued his mighty " Ukase" for armed insur gents in Louisiana to direrse m five days. In that time Gov. Pcnn had accomplished the wish of the people. lad done all that was desired at his hands but this was net what suited the high and mighty Impemtor and us wise and patriotic eounselers; among them the hbnest, noble and unprejxidiced Landaulet Williams. And the order came, as went the or der from the Roman Senate, "Car thage must be no more." Kellogg ias been re-instated. Mchnry, m retiring, was, as he should have1 been, dignified and dwarfed the power that ruled him by showing himself tho true representative of a noble and outraged people. Kellogg is now remodeling In model government under the bright barrels and pointed bayonets of the Republic (?) of America. v e feel that the people ot Louisi ana were wronged, and outraged un til the last limit of human patience and endurance had been past. And in this move it was tho almost spas modic act of desparation. Insulted, ouragotl, browbeaten; wives and daughters insulted by the proteges, ebon lined, of the holy defenders of American liberty. IIpw far they were right, or how far they were warranted, posterity, net our cotem poraries, must judge. God help them they could hardly act other wise. And to-day is being written on the tablets of history n page that which w ill cause tho cheek of tho student in after agCs to burn with indignation against the powers that ruled and sympathy for the sufferers who were ruled. The people of Louisiana may be wrong in this step; but we cannot help saying that liight, Justice and Mercy say that they were right. A Radical Shriek. tho editor of a Radical paper in South Carolina gives voice to the following shriek, which, shows that South Carolina Radicals bigin to appreciate the hor rors of their situation: We are crossing the ledge, with a yawning precipice on either side. Ten thousand feet below are the sharpened rocks, and destruction, crouching like a hyena, waiting for the dead. Looking backa moment, missing a single step, the tremor of a nerve, tho falling of a muscle, the uncertain quiver of an e3'e, and the Republican party is dashed to pieces forever, while the blackness of dark ness shall be rent with tle wild yell of the Democratic party, as it springs forward to the helm to take charge of tho liberties and rights of the peo ple of South Carolina.
