Tuesday of last week was big day
in Pulaski, being the occasion OF laying
the cornerstone of the Martin Female
College. Eloquent speeches were made
BY Gov. Brown, DR.. Rivers and others.
Republican conventions recently held
in PENNSYLVANIA and Ohio spoke out IN
unequivocal terms against the Third
Term. 1t was all done for effect IN the
State elections of those States, however,
and there was no honesty in the declara-
ton. They know that Third Termism
was unpopular with the people; hence they
pretended to go back on GIANT. If
Grant is re-nominated, the very men who
framed the resolutions will vote for him.
The New York Tribune says Vice
President Wilson's talk is CHEEKY as to
the South, anxious as to politics. de dis
likes the language of the Presidents
Third Term letter" but thinks it puts him
out of the way. HE speaks cordially OF
the Southern people among whom he has
been travelling: scouts at the idea, which
alarmists last winter were crying, that the
people were still rebellious; believes that
the condition of the negroes is improy-
ing, and hopes for the speedy return OF
national prosperity
In the National Temperance Conyen-
lion, held at Chicago last week, it was re-
solved to ask the 44th Congress to pro-
hibit the manufacture and sale of all al
coholic beverages in the District of Co
Iumbia and in the Territories of the UNI
led States. This is the way the war on
Hayery began, and was waged for many
gears.

The New York Tribune, the leading
Independent Republican paper OF thu
Union, after calmly surveying the pollu
cal field, comes, reluctantly but candid
Iy, to the following sensible conclusion
"The present situation, then, is that OF
party dominant throughout the nation TO
fifteen years retiring from power and CIV
ing place to its old opponent. There
no mistaking it. The Opposition hav
already very large majority in on
branch of Government: it has regalne
many of the States lost in 1854 and 1861
and captured some it did not dream o
1t is on the rising tide. The indication
as they present themselves to thlukin
men, are that the political revolution WI
