EDITORIAL BOOTS.—Some weeks ago an Indianapoiis paper charged that Dickerson, of the Terre Haute GAZJJTTE, fell down a pair of stairs from an impelling force in the shape of a boot.

A London Fog.

On Saturday the whole metropolis, with its suburbs for miles round, was visited by one of the densest fogs experienced for many years. It lasted formoie than half the day, and was especially palpable and general throughout the city. There has been nothing like it in that pJirt of the town since the morning of the memorable 9th of November, 1870, when the city pageant, in the Mayoralty of Sir Thomas Dakin, started by torchlight from Guildhall to Westminister. The fog of Saturday seemed to set for themost part from the soutbside of the metropolis, though it was pretty general all all over. London Bridge was barely visible from the Cannon street viaduct of the London & Southeastern Railway and the river traffic, especially below the bridge, was suspended for some hours. On all the suburban railways fog signals were largely used from an early hour in the morning, and extreme care had to be used both in working the station signals and in running the trains. In the short run between Cannon street and Charing Cross the trains were repeatedly stopped between stations, and detained for many minutes, from considerations of safety. At noon it was as dark iu the heart of the city as at midnight, with this aggrava

tion,

Kenueke's bar

tender William," in attempting to cross a train of cars which was standing on a crossing of the E. & C. R. R- today, had his feet caught between the bumpers of a couple of the cars and badly crushed by the engine suddenly putting the train in motion. He was taken into the National Road House, and is being cared for.

who will be remem

bered by many of our citizens who attended the entertainments given by the PaV'mer Spectacular Dramatic Company in tiiis city at the commencement of the present amusement, season, is now at Cincinnati, as will be seen from the following which we clip from the Commercial of that city:

Master James Speaisht, the child violinist. at the National, who is now in his third week there, was doing his wonderful "business" lastnitfht, to a delighted audi

that the public lamps were not lit, and the sceue in the space in front of the Mansion House, with the constant and angry alterations among contending drivers, Consequent upon the stoppage of the traffic, almost baffled description. It was the same all along Fleet street, from Temple-bar eastward, and to all the main throughfares of the city.

Toward 1 o'clock, when the fog was most dense, and wken the prevailing confusion had become worse confounded, an appeal was made to the proper authorities at Guildhall to have the public lamps lighted for a time, but the answer was that the contractors were only bound by their agreement to light them between sunset and sunrise. There must have been great risk to life and limb at some of the principal crossings. At length the private gas lamps iu front of the Mansion House were lit, as those on the southern side of the Bank of England had been for some time before, and in that way the general gloom and confusion was sensibly lessened. Most of the shopkeepers in the principal streets also lighted their gas. Shortly after 1 o'clock the fog began to abate the sun, which until fheu had only been visible at times, a Inrge blood-redspot in the sky, at length shone out, and the metropolis assumed its accustomed appearance.

Hints to Skaters.

The first and most important matter is to obtain a pair of skatps. If you have none of your own, borrow a pair immediately—never steal.

Never under any circumstances retain your borrowed skates longer than spring. The owner might need them.

In going upon the ice always select a safe and suitable place. Never go upon your head.

None but an uncivilized wretch will refuse to buckle a lady's strap. No matter how often she asks you to do so, although you know she has loosed it on purpose, always fasten it to the best of your ability.

When you fall, never lose your presence of mind. With as much dignity as possible, come to a sitting posture, keeping cool all the time, and proceed to readjust your skates. The spectators will think that a loose strap tripped you.

Keep your forked end down. This is a simple rule, but by adhering closely to it you will not fall so often.

When you find a line of sawdust sprinkled along the ice, follow it up. It will invariably bring you to a lady in distress. You can ask what the matter is—she will tell you—over the left.

Never attempt to skate up both forks of a creek at the same time. If you must go up both streams, skate up one, then return and skate up the other. You will save time by tills.

It is a good plan for a beginner to strap pillows to his or her person, fore and aft, and fasten a two pound sponge ou the back of his or her head. You do not present so graceful an appearance, but you will come down stairs easier the next morning.—Steubenville News.

How a Speech of Dan. Yoorliees was Reported. The Xtfjuisville Ledger tells this story of the journalist, Daniel O'Connel, who was buried the other day from the Morgue, iu New York. It relates to the time when he was on the Courier^Journaf, in Louisville: "But in an evil hour, when sent to report a speech Dan. Voorhees was to deliver at New Albany, the namesake of the great Irish orator fell by the wayside, and spent the day with some rollicking friends iu Portland. Returning to the editorial rooms that night he cave Mr. Haldemau a circumstantial account of the difficulties he experienced iu getting near enough to hear every word Voorhee8 said, but claimed that he had got the 'bones' of the speech, and many of the orator's 'fancy flights,' and could reproduce thpm verbatim. Wetting his head with ice water, be sat down, and in two hours sent up with flaming headlines the most tremendous speech that was ever circulated on the oratorical credit of the 'Tall Sycamore of the Wabash.' The 'fancy flights' were especially toploftical. Grattan and Curran were nowhere, and even Pnillips was totally eclipsed. 'Brilliant extracts' from this report went the

rounds,

Dan. Voorhees was ungrateful enough afterward to say he would not for a thousand dollars have had that speech published as his."

[Associated Press Report.] CONGRESSIONAL.

SENATE.

Mr. Trumbull presented petitions from citizens of Illinois, Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin for the reduction of the taritt and the repeal of the duties on coal, salt and pig iron.

Mr. Trumbull reported the amended apportionment bill. He hoped the bill w:ould receive early consideration.

Mr. Sargeaut, from the Committee on Mines, reported a bill for the development of the mines of the country. It declares that all Government lands, whether surveyed or not are free and open to exploration and purchase, and define certain rules for governing the newly discovered mines, etc. An amendment was agreed to that the bill should not affect the rignts of the proprietors of the Sutro Tunnel.

Mr. Pomeroy, from the Committee on Public Lands, reported a bill setting apart certain lands near the head water of the Yellowstone river, as a public park.

Mr. Sherman, from the Committee on Finance, reported a bill to allow the importation, free of duty, of certain machinery designated

for

experiments in mining

in Louisiana. Passed. The expiration of the morning hour brought up as unfinished business the amnesty bill. It was laid aside to take up the bill for the relief of the Chicago sufferers.

Mr. Chandler proposed an amendment exteuding the provisions of the bill to certain towns in Michigan. This threatening to give rise to debate, Mr. Morton called for the regular order—the amnesty bill, and addressed the Senate upon it. He declared himself opposed to universal suffrage, and charactered the argument iu fitvor of it as based upon a sickly sentimentalifm and a spurious generality. He thought there was a good deal of misapprehension throughout the country, in regard to the disabilities now resting on those who engaged the rebellion It was, perhaps, uot generally known Jefferson Davis and all of his followers had as much right to vote as any man who had served in the Union army. He reviewed the history of the Fourteenth Amendment, and argued that the provision in it authorizing Congress to remove the disabilities by a two-thirds vote, was not designed to authorize the removal of disabilities from classes, but only from individuals. It seemed, therefore, to be straining the fourteenth Amendmentto pass the Amnesty bill as it came from the House. He was willing however, to vote for that bill, but he never would vote for it with .the exceptions stricken out. The disability proposed by that ameud.meut upon the Southern leaders was the last remaining legal work of disapprobation of the rebellion. and he could never consent to its removal, because to do so would be to acknowledge that the rebellion was not wrong, that it was merely a difference of opinion, and that the leaders of the rebellion have the same right as loyal men to hold the highest offices of the Government. The question of amnesty had generally been argued heretofore on the grounds of expediency aud emergency, hut he wished to consider it upon a higher plan. He thought there was a great principle involved. A principle of consistency, of duty to the Government, and especially a principle of the greatest importance to posterity. It was argued that amnesty would conciliate the people of the South, but he believed that the leaders could no more be conciliated in that way than rattlesnakes could be conciliated by restoring their extracted fangs. They could die as they had lived, rebels whatever dignity history might give to their characters must depend upon their cousistency in maintaining that attitude. Therefore they could not be conciliated by this means, and if it would conciliate the masses of the Southern people. it would be by their taking it as an admission that they were always in the right, and that the people of the North were in the wrong. If universal amnesty were to be granted now, it would be impossible to couvince the next generation that there was anything wrong in the rebellion, and that Republican party could not concede the guiltlessness of the rebellion, falsifying its whole record, and disgracing itself before the world. The consequences of the rebellion were far greater than the consequences of all the other crimes committed in 'the United States up to this time.

Mr. Morton predicted that if general amnesiy was granted, the next step will be to pension the rebel soldiers next, to pay the rebels lor their property taken by the Union armies in the war, including slaves and next, to pay the Confederate debt. In conclusion, Mr. Morton said he would vote for Sumner's amendment—the supplementary civil rights bill. He agreed with Mr. Sumner in putting justice before generosity or superior magnanimity. What might be mercy to the individuals amnestied, would, in his opinion be cruelty to future generations and while he was willing to vote for a general amnesty, he believed universal amnesty would be inhuman and immoral, because it would be an admission of the innocence of the rebellion, whose consequences will linger in the country for centuries.

Mr. Thurman said he was at a loss to comprehend the Senator from Indiana (Morton). That Senator asserted that universal amnesty would be inhuman and immoral, and he was prepared to vote for this bill of universal amnesty, provided Mr. Sumner's amendment a

Mr. Morton explained that what he had denounced was universal amnesty. He would vote for this Hou bill because it made exceptions of persous who might be regarded as among the authors of the rebellion.

Mr. Thurman said that it the House bill is so satisfactory to the Senator, he was at a loss to account for his denunciation of universal amnesty on this occasion, as no oue had proposed to amend this bill so as to make it apply universally. He thought there was only one way to account for it. The Senator from Iudiana had seized this opportunity to make a speech which would strike the key nwte of the coming campaign. That function had so often devolved upon him, or been assumed by him, that it had passed into the common law of the Radical party that he should do this at the beginning of every campaign, and the only regret he (Thurman) had on the subject was that

and^whioh

all the years during

which the Senator had been studyiug that music, he had not discovered a new tone or a single new tone. [Laughter.] It was the same old story about the wickedness of the rebellion and of the Democratic party, and the same old stor, of the terrible results which would follow if the Democrats should get into power,

were to be found nowhere

•MAfS ISSSI

else but in that Senator's imagination. Mr.

Blair

and

suggested that it was not the

same note Mr. Morton struck in

1865,

when be made a speech in favor of President Johnson. Mr. Thurman—I leave that to be settled between the Senator from Missouri (Mr. Blair) and the Senator from Indiana (Mr. Morton.) The Senator from Indiana makes the same old charges against the Democratic party which he believes, of course, or he would not make them, but which, I venture to say, that no human being in his senses, aud intelligent enough to form an opinion, does believe, or can believe for oue single instant. The payment of the rebel debt —ho^ is it to be paid in the face of the fourteenth amendment, which prohibits even a State from making any payment of it The payment ot pensions to reoel soldiers is also positively prohibited by the fourteenth amendment. The paying of the national debt is guaranteed by the Constitution. The reinstitution of slavery is positively prohibited by the Constitution of the United States, and yet a leading Senator, one who is looked upon perhaps as the leader of his party

as the particular mouth-piece of the Administration, has the boldness to hold up these preposterous statements to frighten the American people out of their propriety. Sir, it may do very well on the stumps iti the swamps of Indiana (Laughter,) but it is not too much to say that to men, who are accustomed' to reflect? The apprehensions which the Senator expresses are preposterous and ridiculous. Now I find great difficulty in understanding this administration. The President iu his annual message recommends an amnesty, and here is the Senator from Indiana (Mr. Morton) one of his chief supporters, denouncing it. The President recommends civil service reform, and the Senator from Wisconsin (Mr. Carpenter) pours out upon it the vials of his wrath' aud ridicule. I can hardly understand it, but if I were a suspicious man, I would say that this is the oid trick of throwing a tub to the whale. I would suspect that when the President says, Let us have civil service reform," there is a mental reservation that it shall be killed iu Congress aud that when he says, "Let us have amnesty," there is a mental reservation that the Radicals in the Senate shall kill amnesty. I do not charge any such hypocrisy upon the President, but it does look wonderfully strange that every important recommendation by the President is ignored by his friends in this chamber. Mr. Thurman, in conclusion, argued the question of the rights of States under the Constitution.

Mr. Morton, iu reply, said that Mr. Thurman had just made an old speech about the danger of centralization, which also had been often heard iu the swamps of Indiana. It was the same old Democratic States rights speech. The Senator had just said hecould not understand this Administration. That was true. The whole Democratic party were unable to understand this Administration, [laughter] or the time in which they lived. They were liKe a man riding in a car backwards, who never sees anything until he is clear past it. [Laughter.) As to the damage that would result from them coming into power, he would ask whether the Democrats were not committed to pay for the rebels' slaves To show that they were, he sent Blair's Broadhead Letter to the desk to be read, and said it was because of the sentiments expressed in that letter, that Blair was given the second place ou the Democratic Presidential ticket.

Mr. Blair—If you had hot backed out of your speech in 1865, in favor of President Johnson, you might have got my place. [Laughter.]

Mr. Morton explained his speech of 1865, and said the Senator from Missouri, Mr. Blair, had once been a member of the Republican party and left it.

Mr. Blair—I left it because of its usurpations. I joined it when the whole party could have sat down at a dinner table, and I left it when it was in power all over this country, to join a party that was out of power. As to the Senator's speech, I remember that when lie delivered it he was thought to be a very fit person for Johnson's Cabinet, and if the people of the South were misled by anv person, it was by the Senator himself in that speech.

Mr. Morton—The Senator attributes more importance to that speech than ever I did—as to being thought a fit person for Johnson's Cabinet, I know nothing about it, but I can say this much, that there was never an office in the gift of Johnson that I would accept. I say this without disrespect to him. I have heard it said that I sought a place in his Cabinet. That is false. There never was an hour that I would have resigned the Governorship of Indiana for any place, except a seat in the United States Senate. Mr. Morton said further that this was the most important question before Congress, far more important than civil service reform or tariff revision.

Mr. Scott followed with an argument in favor of the amnesty bill, as it came from the House, but said he was not prepared to vote for a universal amnesty.

Mr. Robertson gave notice that he would endeavor to press the bill to a vote to-morrow.

Mr. Wendell presented a petition, signed by General Sheridan and other officers, representing three hundred thousand soldiers iu the Army of the Cumberland, praying that the time they served iu the army may be allowed in the five years required by the homestead law, after two years' actual residence.

At 4 o'clock the Sentate went into executive session and soon after adjourned*

HAIR VIGOB. IYER'S

A I I O

For the Renovation of tlie Hair!

Hie Great Desideratum of the Age! A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to its original color and the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands ftrophied or decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from falling oft and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wauted merely for a

HAIR DRESSING,

nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre aild a grateful perlume. •r% PREPARED BY
