Jacksonville, May 19, 1-S75. Democratic papers please copy. Grant has Spoken. President Grant Las finally spoken in regard to liis aspirations for the ' third term, and if our Radical friends can find any consolation in his letter, they are -welcome to it. The letter was written to Hon. Harry White, the President of the Radical Conven tion which was recently held in Penn sylvania. The President does not say that he is no' a candidate for the third term, but in plain English does 6 ay that he is. lie 4ecares a- -10 was not a candidate the first nor sec ond time, and is not now. But that lie sacrificed a life position, which -Lo wanted and liked, for the sake of the country. Without, he says "seeking the office for the second term the nomination was tendered mo by the unanimous vote of dele gates of all the States and Territories selected by tho Republicans of each to represent their whole number for the purpose of making a nomination. I cannot say I was not ploaseiKit this and the over-whelming endorsement their action received at the election following, but it must bj remember ed that all sacrifices except that of comfort, had been made on accepting tho first term." Now that he has made the sacrifice, ho isaready.to ac cept the position again if the Radi cals Mill only give it to him. That we may not be charged with misquot ing tho high functionary, we will siiaply give what he says himself in tegard to his aspirations. "In the first place," says he, "I rever sought tho office for a second, nor even the first nomination. To the first I was called from a life position, one cre ated by Congress xprei.sly for me for supposed services rendered to tho Republic. The position vacated, I liked. It would have been most agieeable to mo t have retained it until such time as Congress might have consented to my retirement with the rank and a portion of the emolu ments I so much need, to a home where the balance of my days might be spent in peace and the enjoyment -of domestic qniet, relieved of the cares which have oppressed me con stantly for fourteen years; but I was cmade to believe that the public good called mo to make the sacrifice." Now we all know that he did not lie io Johnson and betray him to secure the'first nomination at the hands of the Radical party. But see how he talks in regard to the third term and then tako his declarations as to his aspirations for tho first two, and the reader can readily see that he is just as much a candidate now as he was in 1872, and furthermore, will get tho nomination if lie can, lie says: "Now for the third term. I do not wajft it any moro than I did the first. I .wsJJ not write nor utter a word to change the will of th people in expressing and having their choice. The question of the number of terms allowed one executive can only come up fairly in tho shape of a proposi tion to mend tho constitution a shape in which all political parties can participate in fixing :the length of time or number of terms for which ono person shall be eligible for the office of President. Until such ameadmcnt is adopted, the people conuot bo restricted in their choice by resolution, farther th&n now re stricted as to age, nationality, &c. It may happen in the future history of the country thafto change the ex ocnlive becauso he has been eight years in office will prove unfortunate rf not disastrous." Here re have his declaration that he. does not want it ay mtrc now thmi he did the Jlrst. Can any man read this and longer doubt that IT. fc. Grant is & candidate for tho third term? The convention is to have its choice, but pray tell us who will compose this convention ? "Will it iva& bo made up of Grant's 87,000 .eppoisitoos? It undoubtedly will, and they, being the bread-and-butter brigade, will vote for Grant. Grant knows this, and ho says that ho Joes not want thejiomination any more now than he did before, but he does not propose to interfere in tho choice of the convention. In other words, "I w.int my officehold ers to see that the convention is made up of my friends and they nominate me, and I will accept." That is what he means, and our Radical anti-third terra friends may as well make up their minds that he is as ready to ac cept as. he was the first or second time, and that all he vants is to get a chance. Those f ha have consoled themselves that Grant was not a can didate and that he would not aeeept tho nomination, certainly have the evidence now before thezi to the con trary. He leaves no room for further doubt, and for their beneijt it would have boea better had he sot written thia letter. Thxrman's Opinion. Senator Thurman remarks: As sum as you are in existence Grant is a candidate Tor re-election, and a strong one. Railroad Complications. The stockholders of the West-Side railroad held their annual meeting at Portland last Thursday. From what we can gather there was a rather lively time at the meeting. It ap pears that Ben Holladay, who has heretofore claimed a majority of the stock by virtue of a purchase made from. J. Gaston, was left out when the vote was counted for the new board of directors and said stock was voted by said Gaston, and the result was that a board hostile to Holladay was elected, and severe resolutions of censure were passed, against the management of the affairs of the Company by Mr. Holladay. The new board tried to take possession of the property of the Company; but tho Vice President, Mr. Halsey, seemed to have the insido track and kept possession in the name of the old directors and the disfranchised stockholders, and at a meeting after ward held by them another board was elected and possession maintain ed. It is a rather complicated affair, and the full history of the West-Side railroad would make a lengthy vol ume. If our recollection of some of the transactions of Gaston serves us correctly, there were serious charges made against him for selling out the stockholders of this road at the time ho made tho transfer to Holladay, and he was accused of doing so for a valued consideration. For him now to attempt to tako tho road from Ben seems to us a rather questionable transaction, to say the least. He has been tho recipient of a very lucrative income for his part of the work, and we can only occount for his turning against the man ho has served in a questionable matter of integrity, that he wants the road back again to which ho had forfeited his right by sale. Whatever may bo our opinion of Holladay, wo must confess that it is not much worse than of Gaston, and we see no choico between the two would-be Railroad Presidents. Holladay is an adventurer, and Gas ton is an impecunious individual who never had a cent until he suc ceeded in bilking the people of Yam hill and Washington counties. We are not satisfied but that tho people of that section better remain under King nolladay than to throw them selves on tho mercy of Gaston. Tho latter has betrayed them once, when they expected better of him, and Holladay has tyrannized over them by virtue of that betrayal. Gaston is now President without any rail road, as ho was when he sold out to Holladay, and the latter is still a President with a railroad. Grand Lodge Proceedings. We this week devote much of our space in giving the full proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, which was held at Portland on the 18th ult. A copy of this issue will be sent to each Lodge in this juris diction by Grand Secretary Bacon. This will supply a want which has heretofore been severely felt by the Subordinate Lodges, which have had to wait from two to three months for the official minutes. The Grand Master's report is full of interest, and may be read with profit by per sons not members of the Order. This issue of the Extekpkise con tains the most complete reports of any paper in the State, and is of spe cial importance to the Order gener ally. The proceedings have been carefully compiled, and. the summary of the Grand Secretary's report shows the Order to be in a healthy condi tion, and that under the management of the officers last year, the Grand Lodge reduced its indebtedness very materially, and with similar econom ical management, the Grand Lodge will be out of debt .the present year. Washington Tekritokt, Beriah Brown, once a Democratic editor, has been appointed Clerk of the U. S. District Court of Washington Ter ritory, and Ed. Brown, his son, has been appointed inspector of the rev enuo service. Of course, Mr. Brown's support of the Radical nominee for Congress at the late election in that Territory has nothing to do with these appointments. But the inquir ing mind will naturally be ungener ous enough to suspect the motives which caused tuff veteran editor to give his support to the Radical party, and the elevation of two of one family loots bad so soon after becoming followers of tho gods of Radicalism. Another Change. The Bulletin has chauged back to a morning pa per, and Joseph Gaston, Esq., has withdrawn from its editorial manage ment, and Sam Simpson, who, we believe, draws a salary as clerk in the Surveyor General's office, has taken his place. Mr. Simpson i3 an able writer and will dish out straight third-term Radicalism as long as the Surveyor General's office is in the familv. Boasting. The Ohio Democrats are boasting loudly that they will carry the State next fall. The Cin- l einnati Enquirer says: William Allen j ! can bent anv Republican for Govern- i i 1 or by ft majority that will run up ; ! well into teus of thousands, but on the ton of this he would discount ; Beu Wade seveial thousand more. The Board of Directors of tho late Home Manufacturing Company met at Salem last Saturday, for the pur pose of windinz no tho business of i the concern. Resignation of Williams. The San Francisco Examiner, speaking of Williams resignation, says that nobody will shed tears over tho news from Washington announc ing that Attorney-General Williams has resigned his faithless steward ship of the Department of Justice. Other Cabinet officers under other Administrations have blundered from time to time, remarks the New York World, and other Cabinet officers, especially under the Administration of President Grant, have gone per versely wrong. Robeson and Belk nap are little besides mere partisans of the Republican party and of the President. Delano rests under worse than the suspicion of participation and partnership in the grossest frauds in the management of the Indian Bureau. But it. is questionable whether any one of these men was or is so unfit for a Cabinet position as Williams. It is certain no man except the President himself has done more than Mr. Williams during the past three years to make the Adminis tration of President Grant the disre putable Administration it has been. His unfitness for any high position would have been patent enough to any President morordiscerning than Grant. His bitter partisanship, to gether with his sublime ignorance of law, moro than completed his unfit ness for tho position to which it seemed good to tho President to ap point and the Senate to confirm him. Grant's attempt to elevate him to the Chief-Justiceship as a reward for his services in making law to meet the exigencies of the Louisiana usurpation in 1872 is prob ably the best evidence yet given of Grant's disregard for the public wel fare where his own interests and those of his partisans arc concerned. Williams may possibly desire to hang out his law shinglo in Washington, or he may aspiro to succeed Mr. Kelly as tho colleague of Hipple Michell in tho Senate from Oregon. But whatever avocation Mr. Williams may propose to follow, tho President acted wisely in accepting his resig nation; for Mr. Williams has the best of reasons for wishing to get out of the Cabinet while he is yet free to go voluntarily. There has of late been a remarkable unanimity among Democratic Congressmen upon tho propriety of impeaching him, as well as a decided conviction that they could not go far astray in taking at random any one of his official acts for a valid ground of impeachment. This is tho secret of Mr. Williams withdrawal from tho Cabinet now. Similar motives will probably move Mr. Delano to resign, and tho Presi dent to accept his resignation at an early day. Hon. Cassius M. Clay was present at the Democratic State Convention of Kentucky, and being invited to address tho Convention did so, brief ly as follows: "Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen: I feel sensibly the compliment you have paid me by this call to address a few words to this distinguished and most important gathciiug of the Democratic party ("applause) ; but I feel still more sensibly impressed by the cordiality with which you receive me among you, so that I may justly say that, although I am not easily terrified, but being amongst the tin terrified, I am to-day a little terrified. Laughter and applause. Gentle men, I know there is too much to bo done here to-day to listen to speeches at this time. I thank yon for what I know you intend as a compliment. Allow me to say that I have always professed to be a Democrat. I am an old fashioned Jefferson Democrat. We stand to-day upon the same plat form. Yon are there and I am there and we aro together. I do not care who criticises, but I believe that you are to-day the true defenders of the Republican and Democratic princi ples of 177G. The Democratic party to-day stands upon those principles, and it is the true defender of the constitutional liberties of this coun try. Therefore, I am not untrue myself, I am nothing else but a Dem ocrat, and not ashamed to bo enlist ed under such names as Jefferson, Madison, and Jackson. Applause. J Denies It. The Oregonxan denies tho rumor which has gained circula tion that it had combined with the 11 u tie tin. Probably the Bulletin wouldn't stand its terms, or perhaps the compromise lamb for Democratic slaughter this fall could not be found. The Oregon ian, we apprehend, will not deny that efforts at compromise havo been attempted, and partially succeeded. But the Bulletin going back to a morning paper, and an em ployee of the Surveyor General's office being placed on it as editor, is evidence that the compromise has failed, and hostilities between the two mav be looked for. riONEER Re-Union. Grand prep arations are being made by the Ore gon Pioneer Association and the citi zens of Salem, to make tho next re union, which is held at the Fair Grounds on the 15th inst., a most complete success. The railroad will carry passengers to and from Salem for half fare, and it is expected to be the largest gathering the Association has yet had. All persons who feel an interest in the early history of our Stato should :tend. Provided For. Another Radical editor has been provided for. W. H. Byars, of the B'selurg Plaindealer, received the appointment of U. f. deputy surveyor, for the survey of mineral claims in the State of Ore gon, . i. . Wool in small lots i being receiv ed at the Dalles. SUMMARY OF STATE SEWS. The discovery of rich cinnabar mines near Oakland has caused gTeat excitement in that vicinity.

Our Washington county corres pondent says the term of the circuit court for that county which has just closed, greatly excelled any term ever held before, in the number and nastiness of nasty law suits on the calendar. Some of tho cases were of such character that no person talked about them except those who were compelled to do so, and they spoke in a whisper from very shame. A meeting of wool-growers will bo held at Tho Dalles on Saturday after noon at 2 o'clock, June 12th, for the purpose of fixing the price at which they will dispose of their wool.

A burglar attempted to get into the sleeping apartment of Mr. Wag ner, agent for Wells, Fargo & Co., at Salem, last Saturday night. Mr. Wagner heard him, and gave him a salute with a pistol shot, which un fortunately missed the object for which it was intended. The stock-holders of the West-side jail-road met at Portland last Thurs day, elected a new Board of Direc tors consisting of W. T. Newby, Henry Buxton, Jos. Gaston, C. H.

From all parts of Walla Walla val ley there come tho most favorable reports with regard to the prospects of abundant crops. The weather has been just the thing for pushing-grain ahead, and the harvest will como earlier than usual. Sickness prevails to some extent in tho Klickitat valley. The only daugh ter of Dr. Schoonover, an immigrant, was taken from their family circle by death, her sickness being measles. Mr. Shafer lost his youngest child, and an immigrant named Bradshaw lost, one of his little girls by measles, which appeal's to be an epidemic. Chas. E.

One of tho most terrible disasters in history occurred to-night in the burning of the French Catholic church at South Holyokc, during eveniug service, involving the death of sixty-six men, women and chil dren. The exercises had nearly closed and a vesper service was being sung, when the llaine from a caudle caught the drapery around the statue of the Virgin Mary, and streamed up and caught the building. Immedi ately a panic ensued and the people rushed for the doors. Thero was but ono entrance to tho gallery and that from the front. On the'stair way leading from tho gallery the people were packed in a solid mass, struggling to clear themselves, as the flames mslioil in Hint A Ii-oc and this soon became blocked, ren- tterinsr exit impossible. Manv inmn- ed over tho sides of the tralleries on the-crowd beneath and were tramniA.1 and killed. The priest's residence join tho church on the rear, and manv eseaned thronirh an nitmnno leading to the house back of the al tar. The priest's exertions to keep order were fruitless. The screams of the living and moans of the dyin made a dealening tumult above the orders of tho pastor who worked he roically and was personally instru mental in saving many lives. One family of four were in the church and all killed. Many were pulled out by the arms and feet so badly bnrned that they lived but a few hours, the flesh peeling from them on being touched. Some were tafcen out with scarcely any flesh remain ing on their bones. Anderson, Ind., May 27.

They have been con nectl with the great frauds in silk importations, and will be tried as soon as possible. Further exposures, implicating many men in high stand ing, among them several leading merchants, are predicted. It is also stated that other changes will be made in the Custom House, and a number of officers are -suspected of having aided in the frauds, and against whom there is as yet no posi tive proof, will be removed.

Attorne3r General Pierrepont has issued a cir cular saying that he finds appropria tions for the office nearly exhausted, and recommends general economy and retrenchment. A general order issued from the war department announces that the appropriation made by the last Con gress for pay, etc., of the army for the fiscal year ending Juno 30th, is nine hundred thousand dollars short of the sum estimated for the depart ment, and present indicntians are that tho appropriation will prove to be lnsuflicicnt.
