SXE SENTRE £ EEORTER, rtKD.KVRTS Wttsr. 0 Centre Hall, Fa., June 10, 1875. IKRMX. s2p*r year, ta admnc*, 2,5** wAe not paid in ndranct.

The Ohio republicans in their state convention passed a resolution in favor of the "unwritten law " and against a third-term for president. We observe that in various quarter* ex-Governor Curtin is suggested for state senator to till the vacancy of Mr. Wallace. It will bo remembered that the democrats placed the same distin guished gentleman upon their ticket as dclegwtc-at-large to the constitutional convention, upon the resignation of Gov Bigler, and that Mr. Curtin proved one of the eminent members of that body, and introduced some of the most whole some futures of the constitution, and was in entire harmony with the th-inoc racy upon the needed reforms. We do not know whether he would accept the senatondiip, but we do know that if he occupied Mr. Wallace's seat, that Mr. Wallace axmW km *vu*r, and the people an able champion of their right*. The grain speculators al Chicago held a stock of grain worth ten millions of dollar*, and re/used tojlet it go when thev could have got good price*, exact ing to get better. They carried this im mense stock upon borrow ed money , ami now that the market has broken, then is danger that many of thcui will fail. Thv speculation, like most reverse* of the kind, benefitted no one. but served, in stead. to paralyse business and retard the return of confidence. If the Lancaster convention had en dorsed the third-term, or remained si lent upon it, wonder whether Grant would have come out with a letter say ing he did not want it any more than the first. tirant says he doc# not waut the third term any more than he did the first. We believe it—any onekuowshe was anxious for the first, and after getting it also wrote a letter containing similar lan guage. saying he did not wwnf the second term any more than the first. We sup pose he feels inclined to presidential terms as with presents, he is anxious lor and takes all he can get. The New York Tribune has taken the trouble to analyse the hotel bill paid for President Grant and his half dozen champions by the authorities of Boston on the occasion of the Concord and Lex ington Centennial celebration. Among the items are fpit worth of whiskey and the Republican journals still insist that Grant is not a drinking man. The Huntingdon Journal denounces the action of the republican state con vention in admitting the Woods dele* gates to seats in the convention, and giv ing them equal representation, as an insult to the republicans of that county. It significantly adds . "The republicans of this county will find their remedy for wrong inside the organization, notwith standing the example of Mackev and Don, and notwithstanding even the en couragement given to bolters by this re cognition of them by state convention." In the opinion of the Journal the work of settling the party differences will be "a harder job than ever before." The Globe, on the other hand, is jubilant over the action of the state convention, and boasts that it represents the regular republican party in Huntingdon county, the Scott faction being bolters and dia organizers. The admission of a delegate and the concession of halt a vote the Globe insists was a whole recognition both by the convention and the oppo sing faction. If the Scott faction did not like the arrangement they had liberty to withdraw. On the vote for state treasurer, the Woods-Goss delegates voted for Rawley. and the Scott delegate voted for Strang. This is mentioned by the Globe as an additional proof that the faction whom it represents is more near ly in harmony with the republican or ganization in the state. The Times says there is quite a differ ence between "the unwritten law of the Republic" on the third-term question, as declared {jv the Lancaster Conven tion, and the written law on the same subject as laid down by Grant in answer to the deliverance of that body. The Lancaster platform on the third-term is as follows: Reaolted, That we declare a firm and unqualified adherance to the unwritten law of the Republic, which wisely, and under the sanction of the most venera ble of examples, limits the Presidential service of any citizen to two terms, and we, the Republicans of Pennsylvania, in recognition of this law, are unalterabiy opposed to the election to the Presiden cy of any person for a third-term. The written law of the party, as de livered by Grant is as follows • Now for the "third term." /Ho not won/ i/ any more thou I did the firA. I would not write or utter aw ord to change the will of the people in expressing and ! Laving their choice. The question of the number of terms allowed to anv one Executive can only come up fairly in the shape of a proposition to amend the Constitution, in a shape in which all po ltiral parties can participate, fixing the length of time or the number of terms for which any one person can be eligible for the office of President. Until such an amendment is adopted the people cannot be restricted in their choice by a resolution, further than they arc now restricted as to age, nationality, etc. It may happen in the future history of the country that to change an Executive be cause he has been eight years in office Will prove unfortunate if not disaatrous. t *i- ' wou 'd not accept a nomination if it were tendered, unless it should come under such circumstances ss to make it an imperative dutv, cir cumstances not likely to arise. Will some of the organs oblige the public by stating just which of the two connecting deliverances is to be accept ed as the law of the party? GOVERNMENT WHISKEY.— Much idle gossip has sprung up in temperate (?) New England, since the Concord cele bration, with reference to the amouut of grog the Presidential party consumed on that occasion. The followiug de spatch from Boston, dated May 26, is to the point: The inquiry of how much Whiskey General Ganrt and his party drank on the occasion of his visit to the Concord and Lexington centennial promises to be an interesting and dis turbing question. At a meeting of the State Temperance Alliance this after noon, presided over by ex-Governor Traak, a Mr. H. D. Gushing stirred up the meeting by offering a resolution that • committee be appointed to ascertain •nd report whether liquors were fur bished by the state to its guests on the occasion of the Lexington and Concord centennial. Mr. Gushing explained that his reason for offering the resolution was the feet that the newspapers have pub lished a hill, from Revere lfouse, giving a* one oftho item* in the entertainment of the President and party over f4!l for wine antl cigar*. Mr. CUshing odilnl that ho had it froth the intimate friends, not the enetuic* of President Grant,that there i* danger of Grant's falling Iwok into the condition ho wax in proceeding the ear. GRAXrs rilißl~rh;u BLINDKP. Far bo it from na, nava the World, hast ily to class President Grant with the persons of whom it is proverbial that long memories are indiapeuaibloto theii •uccesa, But when President Grant sat down, all by himself, ua we are assured he did, "not even ex-Govornur Shop herd being with him," to indite hi* re markable dying speech ami ooA'*ioti about the thiol term, he fell into a de plorable blunder, from w hioh a owliT head and a more retentive memory might have aaved him. Tlio President deliberately say.* in hi* letter of \londa> morning to General White that he break* hi* silence alxnit the question of a third term ouly because the question ha* been Vsitidorwl" hy a body "oftho dignity and authority of a jxirty eouvcu tioti to make nomination* for the Mate otlWra." t)f course thi* statement i* a rediculou# ono to make if it ran be abown not only that "ihe question" had been "considered" hy such a body a* the President here speak* of long before it wa* "considered" by the Pennsylvania Convention, but that it.had been "con sidered by such abody with adirectzmd personal reference to President Grant himself which is not to bo found in the "consideration" it received form the Pwnnayl vanians. The Prwldeßt'a jwrty iu South Carolina no lougm ago tb.ui last year, at a time w hen the fate of tin- President's party throughout the I'nioti was hanging in the balance, "consider ed" the question of a third term and came to thi* conclusion : "We pledge ourselves to the support of Pyfaidout tirant for a third term, assured that by so doing wo shall preserve that jieaoe aud unity throughout the whole country so necessary to its prosperity." Here was a plain proth-r to the President, made by a IKKIV to which he at least ill hardly deny either "dignity or authori ty," of a re-election. The opponents of the Republican party, well aware that the people of this country are unaltera bly hostile to any departure from the wholesome custom of the fathers on this point, arraigned and were justified in arraigniug the Republican {tarty on the strength of this action of a thorough* paced Republican Mate Convention for conniving in a plan to lift President Grant for a third time iuto the Execu tive chair. This attack could only have been met and encountered by the I'resi dent himself If he did not desire a re election, and if he did desire the per petuation and triumph of tlie party which had twice made him President, it was his plain duty to have given that party at once the substantial help which only he could give it, of assuriug hi* zealous friends in South Carolina that he would not accept the nomination which they had thus early and thus unequivocally given hint. Common civility would have dictated some recognition of their ardent devotion, and in recognizing it nothing would have been easier than for the President in a few clear manly word* to announce his disinclination to he pressed in the way which they had pro posed npon their party and the country. He made absolutelv no sign. But now in May, 1875, when the Re publican Convention in Pennsylvania, without meaning President tirant at all, declares itself "unalterably opposed to the election to "the Presidency of any person for a third "term," President Grant rushes at once into print tq tell the convention that while it is true that he doe* not want a reuoniination, neith er the convention nor anybody else can prevent his tos itivc statement in which is an angry de claration that he has a perfect ri"ht to be renominated, if any body likes to re nominate him, until "an amendment to the Constitution" prevents it. In the lace ol these simple facts what becomes of the President's assertion that at was only the "dignity and authority" of the body which had considered the question of a third-term that induces him to hreak his silence on the subject ? Is it not abs solutely plain on his own allowing that it was the answer given by Pennsylvania to that question which induced, and which alone induced hint to "break his silence?" A body of "dignity and au thority" in 1874 offers him the Presiden cy for the third time. President Grunt listens in silence. A second body, of no more "dignity and authority," in 1875 declares that no inan shall ever, with its consent, be thrice proclaimed President. Grant at once vehemently exclaims that nothing but an "amendment to the Con stitution" can prevent him from being proclaimed President thrice or any num ber of times ! Of course it was very stupid and un necessary for Grant to expose his true feeling on this subject in this clumsy and maladroit way. But this is by no means the first folly of the kind into which he has been hurried by his imjm tience of ad vice, even from those who are as deeply interested almost as him self in the results of his conduct. His Pennsylvania letter is no worse a bluii* derthan his mid-night message about Arkansas. It is not so bad a blunder as his feverish despatch sent through Bel knap to endorse the tipsy brutalities of Sheridan. It will no doubt worry and disconcert tffose among his supporters who know the temper of the country at this time more than either. But, after all, it really throws very little addition al light, for very little was left to be thrown upon the egotism, the wrong headedness, the contempt of law and of public opinion, and tbe insatiable greed of its author. Mr. George 0. Evans, whose fame was so prominent before the public in con nection with the collection of Pennsyl vania's war claims against the general government died on Thursday, at his residence in West Philadelphia. Mr. Evans was fifty-four years of age at the time of his decease.

It can only IK- the "nun himself." The National Republican, Grant's kitchen organ at Washington, goes on to further deiiuc the President'* third-term letter. It MV ; "Those' individuals who are frcighten "ed about the Viretnualaueea not !ikel> "to arise,' whieh are alluded to in l*re* "ideut t tram's anti-third term letter, "should remember that the people will "judge of the occasion which may pru "voke those cireumstanees To the judg "meat of the people the w hole question "will be lawfully submitted, and the de "cision will be worthy of them.

In such un event we have no "fear that the public weal is to be iu any "degree jeopardized." It is very funny, says the N. V tri bune to see the atteiujUs which the Ad ministration journals make to twist the President's Third Term letter into a tint denial of a desire fbr a r nomination The Philadelphia Press goes into rupture over (Jen .

' lie got up and shook hand* with me and said, "Good night, 1 have to go. 1 have to go away cm the train to-night, but I was determined to be saved before 1 went I see U now." 1 confess it teemed almost too sudden tor ine, aud 1 was almost afiald it could not live. A few day* after, he came and touched me on the shoulder and said, "Do you know tne?" 1 taid "I know your I face, but do not remember where I navel j seen you." He said, "Do n<4you remem-| her the illustration of the ark*" I said •"Yes '' lie said. "It hat been all right 'over since, {understand it now, Christ is the ark ; lie saves me, ai d 1 mutt get j inside him." When I went down to Man- I cheater agaiu and talked to the young friend* there, 1 found he was the brightest! light among them. This afternoon at the women's meeting. I I told tbern that a woman came and sai-i 'to me in Manchester, that she was not in) the ark, but that she wanted to go into it. I said to her. ' The question it, why do not] jyuudoit? 1 Lave boor- wonting to goto America for the last four years, but i have not gone. It i* one tiling to want and an other thing to do. Whv do not you just • step inio the ark 1,1 After talking a little while she said, "Good evening, Mr. Moody. ' 1 said, "Are you in the ark f" She said, "Yo, I will trust Chri-l and M make 11.m uty ark " Ido not see how yu c-ti have a better illustration than that. A ui*n must be in the ark or out of it. If he die* outside the ark he muet per i*h. If he diet in the ark, it i the ark :thai -avoa him. The 'ljring Soldier. After one of our battles in Pittsburgh 1 was going upon the Tennessee river ailb tSO men, some mortally wounded, and you could hear tbr dying groans from one end of the vessel to the uther. 1 said to j the young man who was with me that w<-' must not lot a man die on board without telling htm ol Christ and hoavea ; and thai when we gave them a cup ol cold wa ter we woutd tell tbeffi of that water of vbich il they drank they should never die 1 eamo to ope young man who was uoeoit. •eious, and I went to the doctor, and I -aid. * Doctor, will that young man recov er?'' He *aid. "So, We have just ampu-i tat ml one of hit legs ; he ha* K-st a deal of] blood, and he cannot recover." "Do you j think bo will come to?" "No, I think] not " "I* there not anything I .-an do to! bring him to before he die**" The doc-{ tor said 1 might give him a little brandy i and water, hut he thought be would not, come to. 1 g->t some brandy and water, and 1 sat by his side, and every time I, Save him a spoonful I tried to rout* th- j ytng man, bqt 1 could not At last ll •aid to the young ruan next to him, "D -t you know this runr roan?"
