BRowNLow ON THE T1IIRD TERN. The
Rev. Senator Brownlow, of Tennessee,
has issned n letter, which, in the first
part. speaks Of the situation OF politics
in Tennessee, and which closes as fol-
lows:
''For this overwhelming triumph Of
Republicanism in Tennessee, the State
is largely indebted to the able, just and
firm administration of President Grant.
while more vilely slandered and
misrepresented than any of his predeces-
sors, hiH character hae been completely
vindioated, and his administration more
heartily endorsed by his country men
than any President since Washington.
III the popularity OF the President
shall continue, as doubt not it will, it
is more than probable he will be re-elect.
ed Tor third term. Indeed, rather
than put in power this corrupt old De-
mooratio party, would favor tho cleo.
ton OF Grant for life."
This is OF piece with The circular
sent from Washington to various news-
paper Offices. recommending General
Grant for third term.

UPRISING OF THE PEOPLE AGAINST THE
RING AT GREENv1hbs, N. 1.-THE people
of dreenviile, N. j., have suffered for
the past three years from Il ring more
exscting and tyrannical than Tammnny
in its worst days, when the resources OF
the Inhabitants are considered Efforts
we're made in two successive sessions of
the Legislature to obtain redress, but
the ring was all-powerful at Trenton, aud
tho movement for reform proved abor-
two. The Street Commissioners issued
bonds at their pleasure, and laughed to
scorn the protests of the taxpayers.
The people, under the leadership of
Matthew Armstrong, carried the case
into the courts, and the litigation, in one
form or another, continued until three
months ago. The taxpayers at last be-
came exasperated, and they determined
to redress their grievances by their own
hands. meeting Was held on Monday
night, and resolution was offered that
the chief members Of the ring be tarred
and feathered,
The Chair however, declined to enter
tnin the resolution. Inst evrning, d

in our midst. In 1887, when the popu-
lation OF London was rather moro than
1,50O. 900, the police force numbered
3,42l men; in 1871 the population had
somewhat more than doubled, but the
number of metropolitan constables had
more than tripled. rs it amounted to
1886. In all England and Wales there
WAS al army OF 7,425 policemen and
constables, or one for every 1928 of the
population. In the previous year the
number had been 934 less. The annual
cost Of this force was about e2, $50, 600. I"

THE NOMINATIONS.

acK d space in the present issue will
event us from giving more than short
notice of the nominations made by the
Liberal Republican and Democratic Con-
vention. Our expectations of the sound
judgment that would control the deiber-
atoms of the Convention have been fully
realized. The very best feeling animated
the members-harmony and unity of
action being evidently the object of all,
combined with determination to select
candidates that would secure the hearty
and undivided support of the party and
command the respect of its opponents.
In this we believe they have fully sue
ceeded, as glance at the names on the
legislative and county tickets will satisfy
the most critical. We append list of
the nominations: State Senators, P. c..

INDIANA ELEcTIoN.-The returns from
this State, though still far from decisive.
appear to strongly favor the election of
MIR. Hendricks as Governor. The dis
patches to the Administration at Wash
ington concede this. We may therefore
reasonably indulge in the hope that sub
sequent intelligence will confirm this re-
suit. If this should be the case Indiana
may be congratulated ON electing a gen.
tleman to the position of Governor whose
past record gives ample assurance of the
faithful, able and honorable discharge of
his duties-an observation which will
scarcely apply to the Executive foisted
upon Pennsylvania by the Administra-
ton. The striking difference of the
character of the two candidates may well
be accepted as a criterion of the STAN
dard bearers of the parties who are en-
gagged in the present great struggle.
