•W--" "Vegetable Sicilian

HAIB BE1TEWEB

Has stood the test of seven years before the public and no preparation for the hair bag yet been discovered that will produce the same beneficial results. It is an entirely new scientific discovery,com bining many of the most powerful and re storative 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 atyl 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 bot tie will accomplish more and last longer than three bottles of any other preparation.

It is recommended and used by the Firs Medical Authority. The wonderful results produced by our Sicilian Hair Renewer have induced many manufacture preparations for the Hait undertftrioas names and, in order to induce ihe trade and the public to purchase their commands, they have resorted to falsehood, by claiming they were former partner*, xr 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 yet been equalled. Our Treatise on the Hair, with certificates, sent free by mail. See that each bottle has our private Revenue Stamp over the top of the bottle. All others are imitations.

ADVICES from Abyssinia state that tbe British forces have not yet advanced. The British cap tf.ves were alivo and well, bnt it was feared they would be massacred as soon as King Theodore heard of tho approach of the expeditionary force, though no threatening demonstrations against their lives have been made.

THE ten newspaper editors of France charged with violation of the Constitution in publishing reports of the Legislative body not furnished by an official stenographer, were not only fined a thousand francs each, but were condemned to aix months imprisonment, and ordered to bear the cost of legal proceedings.

Is Abyssinia the nativo reb?l chiefs have drawn up their forces in front of Theodore, and by this hostile attitude aid the opposition of the English Geobozy was also near, and is friendly to the for. eigners, and has sent- a message to that cffect to Major General Napier, the British Commander in chief. A battle is soon expected, perhaps before the Ei'glish march over the ground lying between Zeneife and Umtalla.

Ho! for tfew Hampshire. Tho New Hampshire election, next Spring, will be "the first gun" of the campaign which is to decide whether the party which saved the country, or that which, because it could no longer control, sought to destroy the government by armed rebellion, shall have charge of national afiairs from the fourth of March1869. The importance of carrying ,the State is fully appreciated by.the Republican party, and we learn that such arrangements have been made as will insure a thorough and effective canvass,' the result of which cannot be otherwise than a complete victory for the Union cause. The Democracy, no less active, are making timely arrangements to awaken the echoes among "the mountains of the OLD GRANITE STATE" with ear-splitting salvos from several of tbe most famous pieces of their lingual artillery,—pieces, many of which bellowed lustily three or four years ago, hundreds of miles to the rear of the TJnion army, raining their "projectiles" of hate and malice on the backs of the "boys in blue" who stood between them and their friends in "Confederate grey."

YALLANDIGHAM who, it is supposed will have recovered from his recent funeral before the campaign shall have prox grossed very far, is said to have been invited by FRANK FIERCE to come and mingle t*u the fray, and be sure and bring 'ASA" with him. Though VAL'S role of martyr is played out in the West, it is thought it may "take" among the downEasters. DOOLITTLE has promised to go and do a little for them. STANBERRY is "negotiating" with the State Central Committee, and will probably closa with their terms, "$25 per day and board 'round."— HENDRICKS is on the list of champions. Thedown-easters want to hear his affecting little story of "burning homes" and matrons and maids "fleeing before tho pursuing lust" of the "nigger." HENDRICKS will do the tragic business in the grand combination. Our townsman, the Hon. D. W. YOORHEES, is starred in the bill, jy what authority we cannot say. He will take the role of the melancholy Dane, "for a few nights only," and will show the people of those "lofty, magnificent and great" hills what there is "roten in the State of New Hampshire. He will, we trust, rehearse by way of prologue the "beautiful piece" he spoke so "like a little man" on the 8th inst. It is "perfectly splendid!" beats MIOAWBER or MUNCHAUSEN in fact, reminds the student of modern history of DODD'S

Sunday School" literature. By all means the Granite State Democracy should have A taste of that fruit from the "TALL SYCAMORE OF THE WABASH." Let the "fathers" oat thereof without f9ar that "the children's teeth will b« set on edgo." GIDEON, the venerable dry nurse of the Navy Department, can't go, but will send her benediction. BRIGHT, DEAN, BOWLES' and JIM BROOKS are reported as engaged for the general utility business. What a pity J. WILKES BOOTH could not have lived to lend his attractions to this "unrivaled array of histrionic talent!"

eerlng Prospects.

From all parts of the State where County Conventions have been held, preliminary to the Republican State Convention, we have the unvarying report of large attendance, harmony and enthusi* asm. The Union hosts scent the battle afar and, recognizing the old enemy— seeing the bisected pedals beneath the stolen robe of Republican greenbacks— they aro preparing to meet him with such improved arms as shall insure his defeat even more easily and more signally than in formor contests. The Democracy propose to engage us with tbeir old weapons, "Sunday School Book" batteries, "masked" with acunningly devised anddeceptve foliage but the true instinct of patriotism will readily detect the leaves of the

Butternut, and well aimed projectiles from magazines which their own political crimes have placed in our hands, will drive them back to the untenable lines where they have been accustomed to defeat.

Tho State Convention bids fair to bo largely attended by the live, working men of the Unionparty from every county in the State. We trust that in most cases the delegates will be untrammeled by "instructions," left froe to act for the best interests of the State and the party, to modify preconceived opinions or adopt new suggestions as the immediate circumstances—which no County Convention can foresee—may require. A .delegate whe is fit to be sent to such a convention at all is, in our opinion, qualified to represent the interests of his constituents without being tied down to arbitrary "instructions." And besides, it is as impossible for any county convention to pre-determ-ine what action may be necessary on that occasion as it was for SCOTT, in Washing, ton, to direct MCDOWELL'S army in the "first Bull Run," or for the splendid genius of Major-General HENRY WAGNER HALLECK to order the movements of ROSECBANS' army during the three days of battle at Stone River from his cozy Cushions in the War Department.

THE Chi«ago Times suggests a commission from the various Powers to dispose, now and forever, of the vexed ques. fcon of the rights of naturalized citizens abroad. Some other journals have suggested a congress. Either way is good enough, except that a commission, being less cumbersome, would work more rapIdly. Let us have one or the other. Acs tion by Congress, defining our position, will do no hurt, or good. It is not our laws which interfere with naturalized citizens abroad but it is the laws of foreign Powers. It is to alter these that our efforts should be directed. 3

too Good to be Realized.' There is so much of sound, practical common sense in the proposition recently submitted the United States Senate, that retired naval officers shall be employed in the American Consulate ser vice at European ports, that its enactment into law may be regarded as exceedingly doubtful, for it Is the inevitable tendency of all political parties to make tbe widest possible distribution of offices, thereby rewarding the largest number of adherents and camp-followers. The increase of party patronage by the creation of new offices, rather than the consolidation of those that already exist i3 an equally patent tendency of the times. That tho adoption of such a regulation would effect a large saving in the expenses of the State Department there can be no doubt. Retired naval officers are paid by the Government certain rates of compensation consideration of past services, and that men who have given the besf years of their lives to the service oftt nation may not pass the evening of li 'e in penury and want. Many of them, though unfit for the changing climates and severe duties of their legitimate profession, are still in good health and have strength sufficient for any duty on shore and, what is much more to the purpose, they have necessarily passed through just that educational training required to render them perfectly conversant with international law and the rights and interests of commerce.v They would make excellent Consuls and tho country would be saved a considerable sum now necessary

to be paid for Consular services and to retired naval officers. The great majority of persons who are appointed Consuls, havo no other qualification than political service to the party that happens to be in power, and are usually entirely ignorant of tho varied and complicated duties which they are to assume. It would be very different if retired naval officers were assigned to such positions and the proposition to employ them is one of great merit,—too meritorious, in fact, to leave much hope of its adoption.

Tbe Bureau in Tennessee and Ken taeky. A

strong effort is being made to secure the suspension of General HOWARD'S order discontinuing the operations of the Freedmen's Bureau in Kentucky and Tennessee on the 15th proximo. Gen. Thomas has sent an urgent letter advising that it be continued in both States until its expiration by law, next July. Several conferences, relative to this matter, have taken ace between Gen. GRANT, Secretary STANTON and Gen. HOWARD, and while the circular of the latter may not be revoked, it is probable that the Bureau will not be closed at the time therein designated, but be continued till some later period.

While wo cannot too strenuously insist on the curtailment of public expenditures wherever retrenchment is admissible, yet we are sure that if the Bureau is needed anywhere, it is in Tennessee and Kentucky, especially in the latter State where the rebel element preponderates to a greater extent than in any of the more Southern States, and where hostility to tho freedmen is evinced in every possible shape that demon malice can assume.

Figures Don't Lie.

The official report of the illustrious head of the United States Postoffice Department is a very remarkable document and conclusively proves that RANDALL is a mathematician of no common calibre. He would grace the chair of mathematics in Harvard or Yale, and it seemB a pity to confine him to the dry details of his present position when the young men of the country are so much in need of ominent instructors in the important science which he has made a specialty. The subject of receipts and expenditures is treated in three pages in the volume, and the result in each case differs very widely from either of the others. In Mr. RANDALL'S personal report, he states that there is an excess of receipts over expenditures of $743,000, an

these figures ap

pear in tbe President's Message, with the remark that it shows the condition of the department in a very favorable light.— The tables accompanying Mr. RANDALL'S report show a deficiency of $1,900,000, while the report of the Sixth Auditor, also appended, shows the deficiency to be $3,998,000.

It will be seen that the difference between the astute RANDALL'S figures end those of the Sixth Auditor—which latter are undoubtedly correct—is only the trivial sum of $4,741,000. This i& not much of a blunder in a sum total of sixteen millions!

Highly Flattering.

The result of the popular vote of the residents of St. Thomas on the question of transfer to our government is certainly calculated to excite emotions of

leli%itv

and pride in the heart and mind of our illustrious real estate broker. According to returns published which, though unofficial, are probably nearly accurate, one thousand two hundred and forty four Danes voted that they would be satisfied with the annexation of their earthquakes to the United States, while only twentytwo St. Thomasians were so selfish as to desire to keep those luxuries all to themselves. This is very flattering, not only to our official dealer in real estate, but to ourselves. It is said that no young lady can feel otherwise than flattered at an offer of marriage, although she may per emptorily reject it and we, upon the same principle, should be pleased to learn that these West Indians, with their earthquakes and yellow fevers, are willing to bestow those advantages upon us. Mr. SKWARD will no doubt, in due time, communicate the result of the vote, with some fine reflections thereon, 10 "the un-» constitutional body which bangs on the verge of the government."

SOME grocers in Indianapolis had a couple of spoiled turkeys left on hand, the other night, and not wishing to be troubled with them, put them on a stand in front oi the store, as if they had been forgotten. The bail took for, in a short time, some thief "snaked 'em," doubtless congratulating himself on his own sharpness. He probably cursed the sharpness of the grocers before he got done with the FOWLS.- W-: ...

Everywhere throughout the Sou th save in Kentucky, this decision, obtained at tho cost of nearly a million lives and billions of treasure, has been acknowledged and accepted as final, irrevocable.— But the brains of the Rip-Yan-Winkle, Bourbon Democracy of Kontucky have not yet been penetrated by the first glimmering ray of light from any page of the country's history for the last half century. If

SEWARD

cently purchased earthquakes and volcanoes to the southern bank of the Ohio, and give the Kentucky rebel Democracy the benefit of a first class performance, it might, possibly, arouse them to a consciousness that several things have happened in this country since the "sovereign State of Kentucky" in armed "ffttattality'* undertook to stand between the Federal Government and its enemies, since its illustrious statesmen with one ancord shouted: "Not one man or ono dollar will Kentucky furnkh to Lincoln to aid him in his unholy war against the South. If this Northern a«my shall attempt to crow our borders Wfi will resist it ufit» the death and if one man sha)l be fonnd in our Commonwealth to volunteer to join thetri, he ought, and will bo shot 'duVtn before he leaves the State."

Judicial Srmlne and Polities There is a very numerous class ot persons, not confined to any particular locality, who havo a chronic and apparently incurable habit of growling about ev-« erything that is not done by their own friends. The particular affliction which now presses mortt heavily on their perpetually troubled spirits is an apparent want of veneration for the judicial ermine, a gradual diminution of that profund respect. amounting almost to jeligious adsration, which wa3 formerly entertained for the Supreme Court of tho United States. They lift up their hands in holy horror and saintly deprecation at the thought that when an attempt is made to use the court for political purposes, tho politicians opposed the measures intended to be thus advanced and the consequences which would enBue, should endeavor, by legislative action, to thwart or checkmate the movement.

It is difficult, if not quito impossible, to conceive how a tribunal croated and maintained for the express purpose of deciding such political questions as may demand adjudication, car be expected to escape importunity or avoid blame resulting from political considerations.

The United States Supreme Court ought, we admit, to be a tribunal above suspicion. But i3 it? ^JVhat was it under Chief-Justice TANEY? Every one knows that the judges took off their robes and dragged and .drabbled them in the mire of party. So long as the people remember the DRED SCOTT decision they will hardly be willing to admin that the justices of that court are, of necessity above the passions, interests and prejudices common to other men. That it i3 believed they have such feelings and are influenced thereby is shewn in tho manner in which they have been entreated to give a purely political question the precedence whisn it csuld claim upon n« other consideration.

Tho case of MCAKDLE has no points about it which commond it to particular attention as worthy of being taken up to tbe exclusion of other business.— MCARDLE, for pro-Rebel articles, published at Vicksburg, was arrested by command of General ORD, who has net tuade a record of stowing any great severity against the secession element. His offense was too gross, even for ORD, and he was ordered to be tried by a military commission. Before he was tried ht sued out a writ of habeas co*pusf and the court, having doubt of its right to discharge, took bail from him to answer after the question had bean disposed of by law. That question is to be settled, by the Supremo Court, but AS MCARDLEIS at liberty and suffers no more than other suitors who have to await the law's delay, it does not seem necessary that all the business of the court should be put back to give place to this Rebel sympathizer and his case. Mr. BLACK, who appeared for him, thought, of course, that there was reason why the favor should be granted, and the argument was addressed solely to the necessity of deciding political question However willing the Supreme Court should be to decide political controversies, when it cannot refuse to do so, we hope it will not, in this case, show the unseemly haste that Washington .^correspondents attribute to it to hurry up such business.

American Tea.

The New York Mail iearns that tho experimeut of raising tea in the State of Georgia promises to be successful. We fear, however such sanguine -hopes will be disappointed. It is impossible for negroes to grow cues upon the back of their heads, and wo cannot imagine such a thing as tea growing Without cues.— Where shall we get the tea-chests, too, made of thct tough wood which nsed to disgust us when we were boys and tried to whittle it? We might imitate tha covers and put on Chinese characters, but we could hardly deceive the tea leaves The plants will recognizo a strange cli® mate, the little tea flowers will miss CUM, and the yellow. skins and the angular eyea, which the Instinct of m»oy genorations teaches them to look 'orwill hear a strange dialect, too. We few they will turn towards China, and witaer and die as the poor Coolies do.

Bonrbonism.

The Louisville Courier says: "That logical and unanswerable portion of Gov. STEVENSON'S late Message which treats of State Rights and Federal relations, is ringing all over the land, and eliciting admiration and enthusiasm in the most distant States."

Tho politicians of the South, except those of the great and "sovereign" State of Kentucky, have learned a few of the lessons which the finger of History wrote blood du.lng the late Democratic rebellion. One of these lossons is that the infernal CALHOUN doctrine of "State rights,' the question which threatened the disruption of the Union for more than thirty years, was finally submitted to the arbitrament of the sword—the "logical and unanswerable" reasoning of the.heaviest prcgectilos and strongest battalions at Charleston, ono April morning in 1861, and forever settled, adversely to tho Kentucky theory, at APPOMATTOX on a morn* ing of April 1865.
