The following c omity miention
to the Press, under date o f Harris

has reversed his own. dect. ion. and

in-the case of the Commonwealth vs. The
Kittaning Coal Company ! , correcting the
one delivered by him on the 14th of List
month. in whith he decided that the tax
on etal levied by act of April 14, 1874,
was unconstitutional. This correction has
created much interest in legal circles here.
Before the rendering of the firit decision
r the case was argued by ;Pep. Att'y-GenT
Gilbert for the CommoUvrealth, „ind T. W.
Hall for the defendants. 'Exceptions were
filed to this decision under the act of 22d
of April. 1874, which were full argued,

The plain fact of the ase is that

like to be President for a third term
is possible. lathat respect he would
be inferior to that large number of
deserving but unrecognized citizens,
who would be Content , With a single

There. is no one So foolish as to

is purely sentimental an t i somewhat
ridiculous, still •there is no denying
the fact of its- existence, to evading
the prospect of strength being ac
curately measured at the polls. More
over, it has been GRAST'S misfortune
that stern destiny has compelled the
people of this 'country to pay the

TEE STATE CONVENTION.
Whether the Republican State Conven
tion to assemble on the 26th should pass
a resolution againska third term, will, in
our opinion, depend on circumstances. If
there are delegates in attendance who de
sire it, and declare that some of their con
stituents will not vote •the Republican
ticket next fall if the •qutstion is dodged,
then it ou"ht to be done.'
•!• Would You have a few men rule the
partY?" Certainly not, if there was_ any
principle at stake ; but we would let a few
men have their way when we could d'o so
just as well as not and without any saeri,
lice at all. The intelligent politician is
fine in his principles, but he is not stub
born about the non-essentials, and is
always willing
to yield for the good of the
party and for the sake of harmony points
which are not material.
. The REPORTER truly declares that „no
Republican Governor no State Legal
ture, no prominent, public man in the
Republican party ha 4 proposed it, and
that no Republiam paper is supporting,
while many are denouneing.third-termism.
This being the case it Is fair to infer :that
nobody is for it, and consequently nobody
to be offended by a declaration against it.
But if there are thousands who are' alarm
ed at the phantom 'iconjured up by the
Hrral<l. it seems to us that it would good
policy to remove their fears, grdundless
though they may be, and defer to their
weakness, if weaknesS it is.
.+We then that are strong, ought to bear
the: infirmitief of the*eak. and not to
please ourselves."—&man.s 15: I. '
It is easy to say that those Republicans
who declare they will not vote the ticket
next fall unless third-ref-raisin is denounc
ed are-seeking an excuse to leave the par
ty, ;and that the sooner they go the better.
Is it policy to give them an excuse? Can
we afford to lose any Republican votes?
St.lPaul, if not a better Christian, was a
better politician than some thing' at the
present day.. Hear what; lie says:--;'But
judge this rather. that no man pnt a
stumbling block, or an occasion to fall, in
his brother's way."—Rowans IR 3.
We neter Imird that the President was
insulted by the Republicans of New
Hampshire, and unless he has been har
boring secret hopes of a third term, which
is not likely... he will care no more for the
declarations of the convention on that ,
subject than on the subject of the tariff.
or any other political question of the day
and should, he hear that-such a resolution
had been passed, would be very likely to
say, like a sensible man. "They thought
