The people and politicians of the United States are alreaq becoming ex- ercised over the forthcoming Preeidentiel election. -It seems that President Giant has not yet grown weary of the honors of office, and his opponents, and many of his friends, too, are much afraia that be will present himself for a third term. The reticent President refuses to end the suspeose of the fearful ones, by saying the word whether or not he will again tryefor a new lease of the White House. Th 'i leading menehers of the Republican party seem to be particularly anxious over the affair, and are Most desirous to obtain from the President an immediate and posititte de,claration of his inteetions. The New York Evening Post hears from Washington that the President will be " strenuously " urged, on his return t from Chicago, to inform the country in some way that lie is not a 'candidate for re-election. A member of the cabinet is quoted in the Post's correspondence as saying : "If it means .anything it is "that the people of this country do not "intend to have a third term President "if they can help themselves, and the "sooner we recognize this state of facts " the better will it be for the administieh " tion and. Republican party." The In dianapolis Journal, in a leading Article, lays the blame for what has ha.ppened largely at the 'door of a President Who has- allowed the Republican party to 'be damaged when_ a word from him would have prevented the- mischief. If heddes not now speak, it says, the Republican party in Congress must; it would have been moirey in its pocket if it had spoken laat winter. "It is impossible for Presi- dent Grant to be re-elected. The par- ." ty that nominates him will be igito- : " neiniously defeated. .It is not only im- " possible for •him to be re-elected, but "not desirable if it were possible." In • the same vein, Judge Kelley in his re- cent speech, .at Philadelphia said the third term question had "hung like a dripping cloud" over the Ohio and Do- cliana Republicaue, and d.eclared a fixe4 purpose never to vote for any man for a third term. The South Huron Election..Trial As will have been seen by the report of the proceedings of: the South Huron Controverted „Election Court, which we , published last N4, -eek, the election has • been declared void. This result will have taken none by ,surprise. Indeed,' some weeks ago,. we predicted that such would be the case. The law, as it now asststs, is so exceedingly stringent that in not one single instance, as yet, has la - candidate escaped, who has been appealed. against. It mattered not to what side of polities the candidates may have be- longed, an, without exception, have shared the same fate. We may further state that we believe there are few elec- tions which have taken place in the coun- try- for many years that Would success- fully stand the teat. It would, there- fore, have been a matter for surprise had the South Huron' election. stood a test which no other election in the country could do. Those whu appealed against Mr. Cameron's election know this to be a fact. The object of the protest, how- eher, was not te unseat Mr. Cameron, but to diaqualify him. In this, as we have oho predicted, they have failed. In fact, , the evidence which was submitted to the Court for this purposeh-and it was, no donbt, the best that &odd be got- was so weak and unreliable that, after listen- ing to it, the learned Judge was so thoroughly convinced of -Mr. Cameron's hmoceoce that he refused to hear the ar- guments of counsel before giving kis de- cision. When the prosecution submitted the. best and strongest evidence they sat eould obtain to sustain their charge, and when that evidence was so misera,bly to weak that the judge was prepared, without listening to the arguments of counsel, toreu.der a verdict in fever of the respcndent, surely there should, afe 11 , ' ' . protest? Meet;1have subjected them- selves, as well ak Mr. Cameron, to a great deal of troub14 and expanse, and have benefitted none i except it be a few law- yers, who will 'probably make A petty good thing out of the• proceedings. if this be any 4tisfaction to them, sure- ly they are welcome to all the comfort it can afford. : But, besides potting themselves and Mr. Cameron to trouble and expense, they will Also Occasion to the country and Clotnity the expense and •trouble of new election. And, ,after all this, what better will these pro testan ts he? Mr. Cameleer' will again be a can- didate, aud he idll be .re-elected. They will then have 1ad their trouble of con- ducting the p etest, the expense of a new electiore and the annoyance of an.. other defeat, and, after all this, will be in -a worse position than they were be- fore they cominenced their litigious pro- ceedings. Verily, it would have been meek better for their Party had the Con- servative leaders of South Huron listen- ed to the wiser eounsels of those of their number wilco ko strongly advised the abandonment of. the protest at a time le whenit could h ve been abandoned with- out injury or d'ehonor to the Party. [ - An Injustice. At the Appeal 'Court, held in Stanl this week, Judge Toms laid dovvn t rule that all those whose names had be omitted from the lists, or who had n been entered on the Assessment E her a sufficient Cement to qualify them to vote, and will.). were, nevertheless, pos- sessed of stffithent property to qualify thenoto vote, should be entered on the roll and be coMpelled to pay taxes on the full value oi their properties as given by them in evideirce before the Court. It may be that hy the strict rendering of the law, the J age had ii6 other altei- • THE -HURON EXPOSITOR. at the rate of $7 a head. What,kind of .expenditure will Judge Ffagarty- pro- nounce that.? It must be said m favor of Mr. Cameron that he 'did notforeet the churches. In connection with his last contest, he paid some $200 to religious bodies; and thlt as it has been held in . England that limey paid by a candidate to churches during election theme is not corrupt not that amount ooght to be subtracted from his bill of expense. -There is a rumor to the effect that J. J. Hawkins, of Brantford, intends con- testing North Wellington with McGow- an, the present member in- the Local House. We have not much faith in Mr. Hawkins, but, till he would be a very great iinprove ent on McGowan. large ai &influential convention of Reformers wa held in the County of Bothwell on J riday. Every township Was well repre ented and the utmost ea- thusiasm rev iled. Hon. A.

Opposition to him will be entirely useless'. -Mr. McGregor, who was un- seated for the County of Essex, a short time age, for bribing practised by Ins agents, wa re-elected on Thursday cef last week, y zi much larger majority than hehad 1 t winter. . -Mr. J.

The trial of Ambrose Lepine, Mani- toba, for the murder of Thomas Scott, which has been in progress for two weeks, terminated on Monday last. The trial was conducted- before Chief Justice Wood. On the henclusiou of the evi- dence, the Chief Justice charged the jury in a most able addrees. He review - e ed the polititial as well as the circle' fl stantial features of the case,- reminded e the jury that with the political part of e the case they -had nothing to do, that e they were only to Judgeof the facts im- mediately connected with Scott's death. He stigmatized the Provisional Govern- ment as " that thing called the Provie- ional Government ;" that the only legal authority in the country was the Hudson Bay Company, the 1 -5th of .luly, 1870, and that Riel's Government was an organization kept together - by powder, shot and guns. As to the evi- dence, he declared that it was conclu- sive against the prisoner. At the een- elusion: of the charge the jury retired and after three hours' deliberation, re- turned into court and rendered a verdict of "guilt," with a reccoinmendation to mercy. The Judge deferred sentence. The trial occasioned immense interest in the c.ountiy, and' during. its progress the court room was crowded. /right and day, The verdict of the jury seems to give generalsatisfaction.
