HAIR BMEWEB

Has stood the test of seven years before tho public and no preparation for the hair h*s yet been discovered that will produce the same beneficial results. It is an entirely Dew scientific discovery,com bining many of the most powerful and restorative agents in the VEGETABLE KINGDOM. It restores GRAY HAIR TO ITS ORIGINAL YOUTHFUL COLOR. It makes the scalp white and clean cures dandruff and humors, and falling out of the hair and will make it grow'upon bald heads, except in very aged persons, as it furnishes the nutritive principle by which the hair is nourished and supported. It makes the hair moist, and glossy, and is unsurpassed as a HAIR DRESSING. It is the cheapest preparation ever offered to the public, as one bottle will accomplish more and last longer tiian three bottles of any other preparation.

It is recommended and used by the First Medical Authority. The wonderful results produced by our Sicilian Hair Renewer have induced many to manufacture preparations for tho Hai under various names and, in order to induce the trade and the public to purchase their compounds, they have resorted to falsehood, by claiming they were former partners, or had some connection with our Mr. Hall, and their preparation was similar to ours. De not be deceived by them. Purchase the original: it has never ye£ beon equalled. Our Treatise on the Hair, with certificates, sent free by mail. See that each bottle has our private Revenue Stamp over tho top of the bottle. All others are imitations.

order forbidding the exclusion of colored people from the street cars has been issued in Galveston.

Messrs Adams, Bingham, Gov. Andress, Sherman, Dixon, Anthony and Fessenden are all mentioned, in Washington, with Cabinet appointments.

BISHOP J. C. TALBOT,

FRIENDS «fGeneral Sheridan who have arrived at Washington from New Orleans state that the General received th° order removing him very coolly remarking to friends present that he felt satisfied he had simply done his duty as an officer of the United States Government and was sorry his superior officers should find fault with him.

THE

order of General Sheridan appointing a day for the election for delegates to the contemplated State Convention of Louisiana was only issued last Saturday at noon, and when he had completed it and given it for publication he remarked that by the first of the new year the State would undoubtedly be ready for presenting a constitution to Congress for approval.

is now reported that Gen.'Howara will be relieved from his position as commissioner of the Freedmens Bureau. The President has contemplated making tho Change for a long time, but not until Mr. Stanton and General Sheridan were removed did he definitely decide to act in General Howard's case. General Grant also opposes this step on the part of the President, and will have a protest similar to those on the removal of Stanton and Sheridan.

THE

Unionists of New Orleans feel very bitter at Rousseau's conduct 'while lie was in that city. They say he was feasted by the rebel element, who boasted that ho brought news from headquarters, meaning Washington, which assured them that the Congressional plan of reconstruction would be abandoned if they held back stubbornly, and that Sheridan would be removed, and man put in his place who would use Johnson's interpretation of the law.

THE

President is understood to have said that he would accept tbe resignations of McOullock, Mr. Welles and Mr. Randall. He wants to make a new deal, and have fresh cards for the remainder of the term.

is alleged that the course of the Tribune towards General Grant has determined those of his friends who manage his Presidential canvass to make him pronounce his adhesion to Congress.

is stated that H. S. Fitch, United States Attorney for the District of Georgia, «ill at the next term of the United States Court for Georgia prosecute, for perjury, eight Southern men, who it is alleged have taken the test oath contrary to the law and facts.

GEN. SHEBII«AN

has written to General Grant

charging that Gen. Rousseau lately visited his command, and without authority interfered with his duties, suggesting his removal, &c

Ac.

A NUMBER of prominent Union men of New Orleans are preparing charges against Steedman and Bousseau for hindering reconstruction, which they intend presenting jointly to Gen. Grant, and Congress at its next session.

THE

friends of General Grant constantly assert that his totters to Johnson about the removal of Stanton and Sheridan are radical and decided.

The friends of the President, on the contrary, say that Grant made merely a cold and formal exception to the removals.

is stated that when Gen. Grant was apprised of the President's intention to romove Stanton, he sent him an earnest protest against the act, questioning bis legal right to take the step, also that in his opinion the gravest reasons of public policy demanded that the removal be not made. To this the President made no reply.

GEN. GBANT'B

remonstrance against the removal

of General Sheridan, is said to have been of the most |emphatic character. He urged the President for financial, patriotic, and all other considerations not to make the removal. To this the President replied at length in a letter covering ten or twelve pages. He argued the case in his usual style and closed with a reiteration of his determination.

evidence taken before the Indian

Commission at Omaha was to the effect that in the event of war with the Indians it would be a general one, and that he could not undertake it in the Department of the Platto with less than 20 000 men. He also believed it would require the samejiumber of troops in Gen. Hancock's department. He expressed the opinion, further, tlift Spotted Tail went on theGrand Buffalo hunt on the Bepublican river in consequence of the representations of Bed Cloud, that If he did not he would be dishonored in the eyes of tbe young men. Red Cloud is Believed to foresee the extinction of his tribes, and is ambitious to play the part of Phillip and Tecumseh.

AT a meeting of the Washington Soldiers Union which adopted the resolution denouncing the President's action in removing Stanton, the following resolution was rejected, on tho ground that as no one knew how Grant stood it would not do to etidorso him "Ilaolved, That appreciating the Supreme duty which rests on a soldier of promptly obeying the lawful commands of his tupdrior officer, and looking upon the assignment of Gen. Grant as Secretary of War ad iuterem, in the nature of A military order from the command-er-in.Chief of the army and Navy not to be disregarded, although disapproved without insubordination, we endorse General Grant's action in the premises, and congratulate the country upon having, as the successor of Stanton, one who is his proved friend, faithfnl supporter and unqualified endorser."

HARRIS,

of the "Ohio Farmer,"

hu recently visited the islands of Lake Erie, and reports that the grape rot is discouraging, not so much in the extent to which it has advanced, or is likelj to pro* gress, but from the fact that it has appeared under snch conditions

were consid

ered highly favorable to a healthy growth of fruit. If the rot does not continue its ravages, there will be as much fruit as tho vines can well carry. But that there should be any rot under the Atmospheric conditions of the season, greatly alarms the growers.

HERSCHEL

Paris Exposition is approaching

the time when it will close. What its benefits havo been tor France may be conjectured, but what effect it wiU have upon the arts in other countries, is not so certain. This show has llo doubt been of immense benefit to those pardons who could study its revelations. .Sappy those, therefore, who had the means, and. the time to visit it, andtheinclination to consider it as a vast repository of informa tion in science and art. Every intelligent mechanic who had the time and oppor tunity to go through it with patience and in a spirit of inquiry, must have seen and learned much that will be of the utmost value to him. But even1 among Europeans, the proportions of these in comparison to tbe mere pleasure seekers, who wanted to do the great Exposition because the world was talking about it, and who brought away no permanent ideas to be mude available hereafter, must have been very great. European mechanics will make the most out of this display. The United Slates will realize very little^ The visitors from this country have been persons who possessed sufficient menns to not be compelled to take into consideration mutters of expense. Among them were many who, however they might bo interested by what they saw, never expected to put their knowledge to any practical use. They were spectators only, and did not intend to note anything for practical use thereafter. They were consequently merely ornaments to tho show, contributing to its success by their appearance, but drawing nothing therefrom. •lJ

JOHNSON,

of Georgia,

writes a long letter to the New York Tribune on the situation of affairs at the South, and in justification of his course in opposing rfeconstruction upon the Congressional plan. The letter is of some value as an attempt to vindicate the anti-ti-reconstructionists from the charges brought against them by General Pope, and the loyalists of the South generally. Ho declares, and truly, that the Military Reconstruction act makes it optional with the Southern people to accept or reject the terms of reconciliation offered them. Upon this option he bases hi- right to oppose reconstruction. It i* quite possible that it would be better to allow the largest liberty of discussion and action. If they are not prepared intelligently and freely to accept tbe terms laid down by Congross, then they are not prepared for restoration to S^ite rights and Federal relations. Desirable as it is to have the South reconstructed at an early day, it would be better to postpone it than to allow it to be done prematurely. Congress acted wisely in granting the option which tdid.

The Chicago

GABRKTT SMITH

V,'.',

But the trouble with Johnson's assumption in this case is that he asssumed to be one of the people to whom this option was allowed, as a matter of fact he is a disfranchised rebel with no more right to intermeddle in political affairs than an alien., He belongs to a class who are expressly forbidden to take part in the matter. He is no more one of the people, so far as concerns the rightful loyal decision of reconstruction, than a, Hottentot. If a citizen of the South, whether black or white, "to the manor bom," or a nat-1 uralized foreigner, sees Ht, to oppose reconstruction, he has a right t®do so., .The act contemplates opposition by the very grant of option, as Herschel V., claims but only by voters. And when men like Johnson and Hill, who are worse than aliens, and form no part of the great body politic, persist in making speeches nd publishing letters counseling the people to commit political suicide, the case is entirely different.

Times

may denounce-tbe

plan proposed by General Pope as the gag programme," and tbe whole pack of Democratic dogs may yelp-and bark at his heels, btit they cannot make intelligent people oblivious to the* distinction which we have just pointed out between the froedom of citizens and of disfranchised rebels. It is due solely to the clemency of the Government that the latter are not hung or banished, and if they abuse that clemency to the seriou3 detriment of tho pnblic, Congress should pas?s a law providing for their banishment from the country—the growls of th« Copperheads notwithstanding. And we believe that if it shall appear to bo necessary, that body will hot hesitate in, the enactment of such a law. If Herschel V. Johnson wishes to waste his strength in writing shallow pleas in his own defense, and makes use of the New Yqrl

Tribune

as hifi organ,

nobody has any objection but let him understand that neither the people nor their representatives are to be hoodwinked. He is, historically *t least, a traitor, and, as such, has Bo right to tbe citizen option of tbe Reconstruction nrct

number of emigrants who havo

sought these shores during the present year exceeds very greatly any similar in« coaiing since 1860. Europe is emptying its surplus thousands upon us, and from the troublous condition of tho Old World and the fears that e*ist of groat wars, it must follow that the tido of the quiet and peaceably diiposod7' Europeans will continue There -are few countries in Eu rope in which it can b6 & pleasure to the poor man to continue. France is subject at any time to be phmged into adestructive and bloody war to satisfy the pride or ambition of one man. At such seasons conscriptions are active, and the flower of tbe youth, strength und skill of the country is devoted to military sacrifices. In Germany tho inhabitants of the sqaall principalities wero, from iho insignificance of their native rulers, secure from the dangers of being involved in the disputes of the stronger and more ambitious nations. But the absorption of many .in*' dependont governments, by Prussia, and tho ("xtefision of tho Prussian conscript system over tho whole of the North Gormanic: cor.federation has features about it which nro naleuluted to alarm tho quietly di?p(Ked,'£nd eauso them to s^ck a country where pence i.s tbe constant aim and war tho exception. Ireland is feverish and oppressed there is nothng for an Irishman to livo for in his native land, and much to be gained by leaving ft tojoin the ranks of his oountrynien across the son. In England, whito the aristocracy rovel in luxury, tho laboring clashes suffer ftom oppression of tho unequal systeiT). Is it not strong proof that Englishmen, although strongly wedded to their homes, nro driven to emigration and seek for better times in better lands. In all parts of Europe.tho condition of the masses of the people is such that they have nothing to gain, and can lose nothing by seeking thoir fortunos elsewhere. Hence the ships whioh arrive in this country are thronged with sturdy men and women, who have bidden an eternal farewell to the scenes of their childhood, and are coming to a land whero industry enjoys its reward and merit is sure to 96curo its recognition without regard to social pretensions.

Tbese emigrants briug muscle, which is wealth and material property of their own. They increase the number of our laborers, and cultivate our wild lands, aid in trade and manufactures, and incroase the national means. They' difier somewhat, in their objects. The Ggrmans, Swiss and Norwegians mainly come to tho West— the Irish, English nhtl French remain about the cities. In the latter they increase the number seeking habitatirtis,and increase the rates of rents. They are, of coursfe, a benefit even under these conditions but they would add more effectually to the public interest if the}' were to come to the new States of the West, where they can at once assiime independence and become influential.

senator Sherman and the Finances Senator Sherman delivered a speech at Canton, Ohio, recently, of much public interest. The remarks on ourflnsncial system and public indebtedness are both in tercsting and instructive, and we publish them herewith. His specch is an able vindication of tbe financial Legists tion of Congress, and at the same time warning of the certain increase of tbe public debt, in case of the success of tbe democratic patty in the future.

FUFAWCIAL QTJKSTIOJRS

There are some questions not specially involved in this canvass, but which are very important. I can only allude to some of them very briefly, and chiefly in reply to what Judge Ranney said to you the Other d&v. They are financial questions growing out of tbe war. You will observe that these doctors do not agree at all. Judge Tburman, Judge Ranney, Mr. Yallandigham, and no doubt many others, talk about debt and taxes and banks merely to excite opposition, but the Democratic party have not taken, and dare not take, definite positions on any of them. Until the last "nigger" is exhausted, they will not meet fairly these great questi6ns. Judge Ranney is opposed to an increase of paper money, while Thurman wants to pay off our bonds in mere greenbacks, or mere rags, as he calls thems, and Yallandigham is in favor of paying the whole debt by an issue of greenbacks. Tbe question with you will be whether the Union party, which is entitled to the crcdit of we wonderful success of our financial measures, can best solve all new problems as thev rise, or whether the public credit can be safely committed to a party that, during the war, did all they could to destroy our credit. Det us look al some of these matters. They talk of our large public

debt. Vfcry, well, our debt is large, but what caused it A democratic rebellion. We had to choose between a great war and its inevitable incident?, debt and taxation, or, on the other hand, the overthrow of the National Government. The Union party preferred war, debt and taxes to disunion. Did the Union party unnecessarily increase the debt or impose unequal or unjust taxes On the contrary, our financial measures were as successful as our military measures, while the efforts of the democratic party impaired our credit, made it difficult to ne gotiate loans, prolonged the war and increased the debt. And now that the war is'over, what party is likely to increase tho debt? Wo have the fact before us that the Union party has not only provented an increase ot tho debt, but its reduction has been steady and rapid. On the 31st day of August, 1865, it w*s $2,757,803,686. On the 1st day of November, 1866, it was $2,551,424,121, or a reduction of $206,379,565. On the 1st day of August, 1867, it was $2,511,306,436, or a total reduction of $246,379,250 iu less than two jyears. And during these two yoars wo also paid off an immense float* ing debt, tho debris of the war. Suppose tho Democratic party now in power, who does not know that tho debt would be largely increased The only Democratic States, Kentucky, Delaware Rnd Maryland, are now demanding untold millions as pay for their slaves. Every Democrat is committed to their payment. All over tho South they are pressing claims for injuries during the war. A Democratic Congress would grant them all. Nearly every Democratic Senator and member has committed himself to principles which if once adopted, will add to your debt five hundred to one thousand millions of dollars. For this reason they constantly exaggerate the amount of the public debt Let us see what it is. It is audited, and we know to a dollar tbe amount. I read from the last official statement of the Secretary of the Treasury. The aggregate debt less cash in band, August 1st, was $2,511,306,436, but of this $397,911,583 is in greenbacks and fractional currency not paying interest, leaving tbe in terest bearing debt $2,114,000,000. Now, If I have ihy way this debt will not be increased one dollar on any pretext whatever, but will surely and gradually be dd off.

It is said that this debt is not subject to taxes, and that this discrimination is unjust to other tax-payers. Now, this debt as property or income held by our citizens is subject to taxes by the United States. Congress may impose taxes on it, as it does on other property or income. These bonds now pay income tax, but it is not subject to State tax. This is true, but whose fault is it?— Did the Union party make this exemption Not at all, It is made by tbe Constitution of the United States, for which our Democratic friends, when it suits their purposes, profess such profouud deference. The Supreme Court of tbo U. States, as early as 1819, decided that bonds of the United States are oot subject to. any tax by or under State authority. This decision has lieen followed in a multitude of cases since. It so happens that every Judge that has sat on the Supreme bench from 1819 to this time, has had this question before him, and each one concurs in the same opinion. The principle is obvious, that the power of Congress to borrow money is paramount and can not be taxed or interfered with without destroying it. To allow a State to tax national loans may enable a State to prevent tbe nation

with the proceeds pay off our outstanding bonds, aa tbey accrue or wo may. and which I think is far better, retire our present bonds with bonds at a lowor rate of interest, tbo reduction of interest being in the nature of a national tax on government securities. But, fellow citizens, all these arrangements must be upon th« .t*10 strictest observance of tbo public faith. National credit is our only reliance in time of war and peril. Debts can not be enforced against a nation by courts of law, and rest only upon honor and faith. Wo can not afford to tarnish these. All that may be done consistently with these to lighten our burdens will te done by tha Union party, but the malignant whisperings of Copperheads, who talk about taxes and debt, are intended only to prepare you for repudiation and dishonor.

Now, there isja good deal said about our national banking systom. As this is a creation of Congress, tha right to change or modify it is expressly reserved. Their right to issue paper money rests only upon tho consent of Congress, aud that consent may be withdrawn whenever tho public interests will be promoted by it. Let in see how this system stands. The only privilege national banks havo from the United States is the right to issue notes guaranteed by the United States. To secure this privilege the banks must deposit with the Treasurer of the United States Government bonds exceeding in amount by ten per cent, its circulating notes, thus furnishing a market for our bonds. They must promptly redeem these notes, not only at their own coun« tors, but in centres of redemption, thu» furnishing a convertible currency. They must keep on hand in lawful money or reenbacks..about twenty-.five per cent, not only of their circulation but of thoir deposits Th*y must pay heavy taxes to ho .amounting last year to iv.-Jent to three por cent, on nori. They rest eclire*. onal securities, find are, the safest. All All tlWr lsito-Qjts are interlaced with the credit and iu terest of the National Government. Tbey absorbed and took the place of the titate bank system which waa utterly destructive to tho national credit during wttr, which furnished a currency without security, and which tho United States could neither receive nor pay out. They are convenient agencies for collecting the revenue and promoting exchanges among the people. If these reasons are not sufficient to sustain the system, then, it will fall, and swarms of State banks will spring up again. By adopting tho system, we absolved or drovo out of ex istence State banks whose aggregate circulation was $180,000,000, which paid

TAXES

And now, fellow-citizens, a fow words, as tu taxes, and I am done. The general principle of our tax law, is to coliect as much as possible from duties on imported goods. The reasons are, that such taxes are most easily collected in the seaboard cities, and mainly on articles of luxury, such as silks, broadcloths, and wines, and aro paid by those most able to pay. To the extent that taxes arc lovied upon articles that may be manufactured here, they protect our own industry, and thus diversify our products and increase our Wealth. Wo levy those taxes in gold, because gold is the basis of all foreign commerce, and we are thus furnished with ample means to pay tho interest of our debt. Now, in levying other taxes wo select incomes over $1,000, and impoao five per cent, duty upon such incomes.— This is the fairest mode of taxes. The only difficulty is in ascertaining the amount of income but as the revenue officers becomo acquainted with tho business of our citizens, this tax is mora equitably assessed, and yielded us last year over sixty millions of dollars. In England this is tbo most uniform and stable tax, aud will be so hero. Then wo select for taxution such article?, the consumption of which is not necessary, such luxu* ries as tobacco and whisky. Jo the extent that the tax prevents consumption no harm is done. Ino failure to collect tho whisky tax is the scandal and reproach of

from borrowing money. Now, these de-'our system. It ought, and will, when cisions are very well known to as good, lawyers as Tburman and Ranney, but instead of stating them fairly they blame the Union party for exempting tbe bonds, while all United States bonds have been exempt from local taxes from tbe foundation of tho Government, by the Constitution itself, and this has been acquiesced in by every administration, including the Democratic. The first loans during the war contained no reference to this constitutional exempl^n, but in subsequent laws, after a recent decision by Judge Taney, in Dcceinber. 18&2, that United States bonds could not be taxed, we inserted a declaration in one of our loan laws that United States bonds wero not taxable by or under State authority This did not change tho law, but simply declared the law. In view of this very question, and of the certainty that when the war was over our restored credit would enable us to borrow money on more favorable terms, we always kept in view in issuing bohds the principle of "redeemability," at the pleasure of tbe United States, on 'short time. This was a fixed policy of your financial agents. This is tbe reason of your Fve-twenties and your Ten-for-ties. The United States may pay off any portion of our debt within a short time, either by taxes or by borrowing money on more favorable terms. Nothing now stands in the way except tbe Treasury notes known as the Seven-thirties, which will be soon converted. When this is accomplished, tbe whole public debt is in the most favorable -hape, and may from time to time be funded at a lower rate of interest, and so as to adjust on conditions both proper and right, both to tax payers and public creditors, the question of taxation, if we can sell them, we can issue bonds expressly subject to State taxation, and

collected, yield eighty millions of dollars. These taxtts on imports, incomes, whisky, tobacco, in ray judgment, will soon be amply sufficient t-j pay the iaterest on our debt und meet our necessary expenditures. We ihav therefore from time to time throw yet credit. greater ein our pui the ag« t**fi'tj

I notice that almost every scheme for now drafts on the public treasury are supported by nearly every Democrat in Congress. The way to ses cure economy is bj caro in selecting members of Congress. This is a personal and not a political question. After reconstruction is settled, the highest attribute, in my judgment, for a representative of the people, will be his caro and scrutiny in public expenditures. I believe, from indications shown, that the next Congress, composed almost wholly of Republicans, will furnish a worthy example of strict economy in public expenditures, and wise and prudent caro of of your financial interests.

no taxes, rendered us no facilities, 'and poisoned our financial credit. Wo made basis which yields us our eight millions in taxes, holds four hundred millions of our bonds, and two hundred millions of

our legal tender notes, of which one hundred and twenty millions are without interest. It is often asked, why not issue threo hundred millions of greenbacks, and retire the bank notes Won't wo save interest by this'' Wo ertairily can do so, but we lose the market for a large amount of our bonds Wo must then provide for the two hundred millions of our legal-tenders, now securely retired from circulation in the vaults of the banks, and wo kill tho goose that yie!da us oight millions in taxes. My conviction is, that the national banking system works well, and should not be tampered with, except to secure a fair apportionment of the circulation among the States, to strengthen the security required for circu* lation, and in time to make national center of redemption or clearing-house. never was much of a bank man, but while such agencies are demanded, as they are in all new countries where capital is scarce, I believe the present system is far better than we ever had, and farbetter than for the United State Government to assume directly the banking operations of tho people.
