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

TELEGRAPHIC NEWS,
SrniNGViELD, Mass., May 27.
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.
