NINE. RENTz's MINsTRELs.

On Monday evening next, Nine.
Rentz's Female Minstrels and Mabel
Stantley's burlesque company will ap-
pear at the Opera House, in one of
their delightful entertainments. The
company has invariably been greeted
by large audiences wherever it has
appeared, and has always given salts
faction. The following notice of the
company recently appeared in Provi-
dence, (R. ID Press i.s.u
Notwithstanding the unpropitious
weatherof last evening, the love ofthe
Providence public for a minstrel enter
tainment, and the fame which had pre-
ceded Madame Rentz's troupe, attracted
a remarkably full house, and the large
audience derived the heartiest satisfac-
tion. The programme was one of The
most varied ever offered here, one act
following another without moments
wait. The first party introduced ten very
attractive young ladies In gorgeous cost
umes, with Benedict and Wilson as
"And" men, and Harry Wood as inter
locutor. The singing was better than
average; the jokes were new. The com
pany is, however, much the strongest
in the oliO. Among the best features
wereMiss Mable Santley in her specialize 5
Harry and Minnie Wood in operate bur
lesque; Miss Nellie Richards in her
songs, Sanford and Wilson In their mus-
ical acts, and the great Lew Benedict;
Fanny Florence, song and dance. The
burlesque on Pinafore, with which the
entertainment closed, abounds with
music and dancing, supplemented by
costumes of rich material. Taken al
together it is much the best troupe Mr..
Leavitt has ever brought here.

Not to Disfranchise Irish Voters.
OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 25.-In the
House of Commons yesterday, during
debate on appropriation for Irish
relief, Mr.. Mackenzie said he had OBJ
served in telegraphic dispatches that
an amendment had been made to the
ministerial bill in England for the re-
lief of the Irish poor, stipulating that
every person receiving such relief
should be disfranchised. He desired
that no contributions from Canada
should be used to disfranchise any one
in Ireland. Sir John Macdonald said
that if this law was a part of Eng
lands poor law he would see that
representatives were made to the
effect that the Canadian funds should
not be applied to disfranchise any Irish
voter.
THE count of the vote cast at the
election Of the 17th-occupying three
Judges eight tdays-wasc completed yes

ments showing what utter incompe-
tents many of the election officers are,
and what corrupt scoundrels are some
of them, are at an end. The next
thing is to prosecute all the rascals
against whom there is prima facie
case, and this should be prompt, with
out fear or favor, and without regard
to whether they are ''bosses" or mere
tools.-Ledger.

The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1880-06-24

One of the most enthusiastic
meeting ever assembled in Pulaski
was held at the court house last
Friday night. 1t was composed ofthe
friends OF Mr.. Talieferro who met
to select a suitable delegation to be
elected the next day to go to
Franklin on the 14th IN his inter
est. The meeting was presided
over by W. H. Alternately esq'r.
The result of their deliberations
was the the election next day of
the following gentlemen as dele
gates:
F. Winship, A. P. Loveman, j.
r. Jones, j. A. Sumpter, S. G.
Mitchell, S. E. F. Rose and E. G.
Buford.
The enthusiasm ELECTED must
have been source of infinite pleas
ure to our popular townsman, Mr..
Talieferro. He addressed the meet
ing in a short speech, and frequent
applause testified the high esteem
in which his neighbors and friends
hold him. He is not man to be
insensibl to such marks of regard,
and if the Franklin convention
should entrust him with the stand
ard of the party he will carry it to
