TEMPERANCE AT DODGEVILLE.- -
We gather from the Chronicle the
following in relation to the temper
ance movement at Dodgev!lle last
week
| The series Of temperance meetings
held at this place by Messrs. Col.
Rowell, of Rockford, and "Jahe"
Hoofstitler, of Sterling, sIIlinois,
commencing on last Friday even
ing and closing on Wednesday
evening, has resulted in such a tenn
perance revival as has never before
been seen in the history of the
town. Each evening the large audi
torium and gallery of the NJ f.
church were filled to their utmost
capacity, and from the commence
ment to the close the interest in
creased rather than diminished. But
no description of the meetings or
synopsis Of the speeches could do
them justice, and we shall not make
the attempt. AS in all other places
where these gentlemen have held
meetings, much good has been ac-
complished. The temperance peo-
pie have had their hearts warmed in
the cause, and many who have here
tofore been in the habit of drinking
strong drink have resolved to do so
no more, besides which much good
seed has been sown which will bring
forth fruit in due time.
We now have within our village
Temperance Alliance of 442 MEM
bers - subdivided into a Reform
Club of - members, a Ladies' Tenn
perance Union, and Chiidren's
Club-two lodges of Good Templars
and five churches, all professedly
working IN the cause of temperance.
If the members of these organiza-
tions shall prove true to their pledges
and professions, and work earnestly
in the cause, it will not be long until
swil be entirely un-
known in our community. Speed
the day .
The following is list Of the Of
fcers Of the Reform Club.

The Fair.
CIR A ND OPENING!
of Entries Made and
Others To Follow, to day.

Since its organization the South
western Wisconsin Industrial Asso-
citation has never known so propi-
tious an opening of an annual fair,
as at present. Already the entries
in the several departments are as
large as usual, and by the time en-
tries are complete are likely to be
doubled. The propitious weather,
liberal premiums and abundant
crops, and known character Of the
Association for generous treatment
of all attending, cannot fail to make
this fair superior to any similar one
in the northwest. If fair weather is
vouchsafed on Thursday and Friday,
not less than 10000 people will at
tend the fair on each of those days.
By list of entries for races, published
in this paper, it is shown that about
seventy horses, including many of
the best in this section of the country,
are to compete for the liberal purses.

OPENING OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The fall term of the public schools
will open on Monday, the 18th inst.
Examinations for admission to the
High School will be held during the
first week of the term. Candidates
for admission will save themselves,
as well as the teachers, much incon-
venience by attending punctually on
the first day. Any new student who
can pass satisfactory examination
in the studies Of the first year, will
be admitted to the second year class.
1t is hoped that there will be some
applicants of this kind, as large
class of students somewhat advanced
in their work is something greatly
desired in the High School.

The recent elections In France are variously
and contradictorily reported and interpreted
Much Of this conflict arises from the miscon-
ception as to the relations and attitudes OF
the several parties into which the French
people are divided. Accepting, however, the
generalization OF the electors into MacMa-
honites and Observation-Disclosures, that is Oh
those who support and those who oppose the
policy and acts Of President MacMahon in his
controversy with the National Assembly. 1t
would appear that the opponents of the Pres
ident have elected majority Of at least 1876
Of the National Assembly, composed of 534
members.
1t is to be borne In mind that whilst this
majority include Republicans of the various
classes of Constitutionalsts of Radicals and
Communists and Red Republicans, the minor
ity embraces also Napoleonsts Imperialists,
Orleanists, Legitimists and Clericalists.
Whilst this majority may be regarded as
an apparent victory Of the Republicans. it
must be remembered that in the Senate of
three hundred members there Is still de-
cided majority for MacMahon. and that In d
conflict with the House, the Executive and
Senate will be the equal in power and infiu-
ence with the House. But we must have
fuller and more accurate reports than we at
present have before we should be justified in
specializing as to the results of this interest
ing election and contest.

sidered that all these desirable qualities In &
Speaker would be more than offset. as far az
our section was Interested, by @ hostile senti
ment to It's needed improvements.
The overwhelming triumph Of Mr. Randall
In securing the caucus nomination Is a very
| significant fact, and one that inclnes us to
change our former opinion concerning his
attitude on the Mississippi levee bill and the
Texas Pacific Railroad which require a frac-
tional part Of the government aid that has
been lavished upon Northern railroads, riv-
ers and harbors.
II the lately elected Speaker had been
iniinieal to the measures and enterprises
specified, 1t Is very singular that he was sup
ported by a majority of the representatives
from the States most deeply interested in
their success. Hence we Judge that when this
support was given him, our Southern Con
gressmen had reason TO know that the man
they selected for Speaker was not imbued
with the noted hostile feeling toward their
section, and that he had lively appreciation
OF the vast and vital Importance Of aiding
their section according to the extent of Its
reasonable demands.
u Should Speaker Randall later on, devel-
ope any latent hostility to the legislation
which the South 50 urgently calls for, 1t will
be matter of as much surprise as was at
first his triumph In the caucus nomination.
Hence, we are willing to approve Of the choice
of the majority of our Representatives, until
he acts in a manner to demonstrate that they
have made mistake, which we scarcely
expect TO see.

In the canvass for the Speakership we wer,
opposed to Mr.. Randall because there was
good reason to believe that he was hostile tt
Western and Southwestern interests. The
very fact that he was Justify supported for
the Speakership by prominent Eastern Jour-
mails bitterly inimical to granting Federal ap-
preparations for Southern enterprises was a
sufficient basis to form such an opinion Of
Mr.. Randall.
That he was q sagacious political leader, q

man, we were willing to concede, but We con-
