The Election of Mr.. johnson.

What effect if any, it will have
upon the future salvation of souls,
or the state of the country q thou
sand years hence, we are not prof. h.
cts enough to foretell. What effect
it will have upon the country at the
present time we cannot imagine.
What effect it will have upon Ten
nessee politics is a subject nearer
home, and one that may, in the
course of a few years, be a subject
for serious thought. Individually
and politically, since our majority
we have opposed Mr.. Johnson for
any and all positions; and now
when he is flushed with victory, and
apparently the rising star, we think
we possess the courage to withstand
the noisy plaudits of a few good
men, the extravaganza wells and
screams of a score or two of Union
shriekers, bummers and scallawags,
and swear we are still unconverted
to the peculiar views of the great COM
naOner, so-called. When the excite
ment of the hour subsidies, when
reason again resumes its sway, land
the weather cocks are left free
from the influences OF petitions
and "telegrams," gotten up and pre-
pared by informal meetings in dark
and subterranean passages, the coun-
try will finG that now, like two wears
since, when the a0hOLe State was solid
for him, when the count Is Ia
ken it will stand as then, about four
to one against him. His election is
not evidence that he is the choice OF
a majority of the people of the State,
but simply that he played his cards
for more than they were worth-that
he was enabled to take advantage of
the bitter rivalries of half a dozen
antagonists, and under the press OF
an organized lobby, both loud and
impudent, he managed to convince
the weakened of the Legislature
that their only hope for Congress
iOnal or other political honors was
in joining the noisy, boisterous clan
that always seek brains in officials.

The Kingdom of the Mind.

Such was the grand theme upon
which Capt. Jno. g. Lester delivered a
chaste and elegant lecture at AntOinette
Hall last Friday evening, under the aus
pices of the Pulaski Lyceum. The en-
pire is vast, reaching from eternity to
eternity, the king himself the monarch
of monarchs, swaying universal scep-
ter, compreheuding all things finite,
penetrating almost into the infinite, and
aspiring even to immortality; cOntroll-
ing, directing, inspiring and ennobling
the actions of men, developing new
worlds to conquer, and unfolding new
fields of beauty, which become more
vast and beautiful and inviting at each
invasion of thought. Capt. Lester took
a birls-eye view of this mighty empire
and painted 1t well, passing over the de-
tails and minuter outlines for want oil
time, Those who absented themselves
lost many valuable practical suggestions.

EB- The oldest inhabitant never saw
hOrse-hesh so cheap before, and it is
still falling. A good plug that will do
to make a crop can be bought for from
$l5 70 $40, and saddle and draught hor-
ses bring from $40 to $50 Oh Christmas
credit. 1t can be truly said now that SO
will effect a swap of almost any two hOr-
SEES that appear in the jockey yard
They appear to be cheaper here than at
other places, as parties from Alabama
are buying pow stock from the yard
here. Everything else is nearly as low,
except provender for man and beast, and
the scarcity and high price OF this make
horses cheaper. These low prices are
attributed to various causes, but what
ever the reason is, it is palpably certain
that they will remain 50 until the next
| crop comes in, and even after that, if
the crop falls as short as last season.
The salvation of the country is clearly
| in the hands of the farmers, and every
energy should be exerted to relieve the
| financial distress, and the most certain
relief can be found in strenuous efforts
on the farms. This is the only way out
and to facilitate this end, all persons
should unite in affOrdiug the farming
class all possible assistance.

ing of this Grange the following resOlu-
tiOns were adopted:
Resolved, That this Grange heartily
endorse the action of the Giles County
Council in censuring those who sell or
buy farm produce In small quantities
clandestinely Of any party whatever
and that we cannot and will not accord
to them the respect due to honest men
ReSOlUed, That this Grange petition

making it felony to buy farm produce
after night in small quantities, or to sell
undivided crops of farm produce clan
/ destinely.
ReSoIUed, That we urge all patrons in
our State to send up petitions to OuI

in which the farming class ia vitality in
terested, and that we solicit all honest
men of whatever order to aid us in thi:
movement.
Resolved, That we solicit the Worthy
Master OF our State to urge all sub0rdi-
nate Oranges in our State to join in
sending up petitions on this subject.

A New HOteI.

An effort is being made to form a stock
company for the erection of hotel on
the Malone corner. Dobson & William
sou are drawing plan, we understand,
of large building, which is TO be sub
mitted to our people with a view to rails
ing stock for its erection. If there il
anything that Pulaski stands in need OF
surely il Is a good hotel building. Ev-
cry one recognizes this as fact, and we
are greatly in hopes that the effort to
have the stock subscribed will succeed
The site offers the best advantages, and
the building itself can be erected upon
this spot for less money than on most
any other lot in Pulaski. The hotel Il
it Is built will cover four or five lots on
the south side, will have three or foul
business houses on the first floor, ans
will be three storys high, with a cour
in the center.

eB- Mr.. Logan has introduced bill
in the Senate providing work-hOuses for
the differeat counties, to be under the
control of County Courts. Persons con-
victed of larceny of an amount not ex-
ceeding $50 are to be confined according
TO sentence In this wOrk-house, and per-
sons convicted of misdemeaner and
sentenced to fine and imprisonment may
be confined in said work-houses and
made to work at so cents per day after
they shall have served their term until
they have paid fine end costs. Persons
convicted of larceny of an amount not

tence, may be made 20 work at 25 cents
per day until the owner OF the article
stolen be reimbursed. a Superintend-
ent of WOrk-HOuse is to be elected by
the County Court, who may select Over
seers If necessary. We think the bill Is
good one and will work incalculable
saving to the people.

county who has had three wives In less
than II months. His first wife, after
