"Vegetable Sicilian

HAIR BKNEWEB Has slood the test of seven years before the public and no preparation for tbe 'hair h«8 yet been discovered that will produce tbe same beneficial results. It is in entirely Dew scientific discovery,com bining many of the most powerful and restorative agents in tbe VEGETABLE KINGDOM. It restores GRAY HAIR TO ITS ORIGINAL YOUTHFUL COLOR. It makes tbe 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 tbe hair moist, and glossy, and is unsurpassed as a HAIR DRESSING. It is the cheapest preparation ever offered to the public, as one boU tie will accomplish more and last longer than three bottles of any other preparation.

It is recommended and used by the Firs Medical Authsrily. J^The wonderful results produced by our Sicilian Hair Renewer have induced many to manufacture preparations for the Hait under,various names and, in order to inj[ duce 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 dura. 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.

The State election in Michigan on tbe adoption or rejection of the new Constitution framed by the Constitutional State Convention last Fall, will be held on the 6th of April. It promises to be one of tbe most exciting elections ever held in that State, inasmuch as the questions of liquor prohibition, equal suffrage, and annual sessions of the Legislature, will be involved. Tbe city elections will take place on the same day in that State.

The question whether tbe fifty per cent, limitation clause of the bankrupt act went into operation on the second of March, or will not take .effect until tbe first of June, has not been judicially settled. We learn, however, that a letter of inquiry has been addressed to Hon. T. A. Jenckes, the author of the law, who replies that in the opinion of every member of tbe committe of both houses, having charge of the subject of amendments to that law, the fifty per cent, limitation clause goes into operation on tbe first of June.

Dr. Rudolph Wiskzorkk, of New York city, has been extensively petitioning the Legislature in behalf oi divers reforms. He is so thorough a Democrat that the burden of one of his petitions is for changing the names of such counties as "Duchess," "King'?,' "Queen's/'

Pi ince," und "Princess." He also seriously objects to "county," because it is derived from "count." He thinks that the prohibition to create "counts'" i3 also a prohibition against creating "counties." The doctor should be honored aa a famous discoverer in Democratic philosophy.

A horriblr murder is just reported.— A brute by the name of Toppon, living in Marcellus, Cass county, Mich., murdered a grand-daughter of R. R. Beebe, of that township, a few days ago. It seems he attempted to commit a rape on the girl, who was only about ten years of age, and, through fear of detection and exposure, killed her. She had been sent front her graud-parents' to a neighbor's, on an errand, and, not coming back in due season) her friends went to look for her, and found her in the woods, near the highway, dead. Toppon is under arrest, and has confessed his crime.

The New Albany Commercial says "three steamboats have passed this citj the present week each literally loaded down with emigrants for the far west. On one of these boats there were over one hundred stalwart men bound for the Sweetwater gold mines in Utah and Colorado Territories. Another boat was loaded with emigrants for Minnesota, and the third with emigrants for Missouri and Kansas.

These emigrants are nearly all from Pennsylvania, and we noticed that tbey all bore the appearance of thrifty, intelligent people. During no previous season has the emigration westward been greater than tho present, or commenced earlier. A very large number of persons are leaving this section of Indiana the present spring for Missouri, Northern Indiana^ Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois."

Wo wiih the Commercial success in its mission, but can't see any thing very encouraging in tie prospect.

We earnestly hope that the ardent de aire of the people may soon be gratified in seeing an end of tbe indecent spectacle of an impeachel President holding daily communication with the body that impeaches hitr, and tbe tribunal before which he is to be fried, receiving bills on which tbey usk bis approval, and sending nominations dh which be asks theirs.

It has been said of late that the Manhattan club in New York, comprising Mr. August Belmont and other magnates of tbe Democratic party, is talking of compromising with the greenback fever o! the West by reviving the old ticket and urging the nomination on the 4th of July of McCt.ellan and Pendleton.

the twelfth Pennsylvania District, who has so recently gone from the bench into the forum that be has not yet divested himself of the impressive idea of the power and august character of a court, which some judge?, whose conceit of themselves is not remarkably small, are apt to adopt. To be a judge is a very honorable thing, especially if the judge is himself honorable. But one may be a judge, and yet be nothing more tban a man, and not the best specimen of manhood it that. The dignity of the bench is beSt asserted when it is not obtrusively set forth, and those judges are most deserving of respect who are least anxious to demand it. It will be noticed of Judge Woodward that, sinco his advent into Congress, be bus been the special champinn of the power and dignity of the Supreme Court of the United States. Thero Las scarcely been anything which Congress has proposed to do about thatcourt which Mr. Woodward has not cartel at, for tbe principal reason that the character and position of the judges and the majesty of the law was such that it wa« petty treason to doubt tbG mortality of the one or the changeability of tho other. Tbe last appearance of Mr. Woodward, as guardian of the Supremo Court, was upon the debate in reference to a nap which tnok place among the opposition members of the House at the time when the section repealing the act which gave to the United States Supreme Court appellate power in cases of

habes Corpus

was passed. Tbe anxiety of

the opposition in relation to ibis matter is somewhat strange Tbey now insist that the appellnte jurisdiction of the Supreme Court ought to be sacred in such cases. But it is only Hb«ut a year since such jurisdiction was given by Congress. The power that enacts ou^bt to have tbe pi-wer to repeal. So far as relates to the charge that there i»a political purpose intended in the repeal, whnt odds does that make Was there not a most determined effort made in the McArdls case to use the l*w and the Supreme Court for a political purpose If it is wrong to repeal a law for a political purpose, as Mr. Woodward asserts, is it n..t quite as wrong to use the law for a political purpose? We do not, by tbis, mean to declare that the Supreme Court desired or iotended-to be used for the political purpose designed by the parties who brought the

McArdlc

case before it. But such

is evidently the intention, which is not concealed, by the individuals pressing the case before the Supreme Court. It cannot be considered any more indecent to stop such a game than it was to attempt to play it.

It will be seen by reference to our announcement columns that G«neral Lew "Wallace is a candidate for Congress, subject to tbe District Nominating Convention. The General has justly a reputation for distinguished ability, and is one of the finest stumpers in the West. Should he obtain the nomination no paper in the State Will be found giving him a more cordial support.—iaFayrtfe

treasurer of state—general NATHAN KIMBALL. General Nathan Kimball was born at Fredericksburg, Washington county, lndiaoa, on tbe 23d of November 1822. His father Nathaniel Kimball, located in Jefferson vile in 1816. His mother was the daughter of James Ferguson, who settled in Indana Territory in 1796, and *as one of the first of the hardy band of pioneers t»v clear the way through Indian warfare and open up the wilderness for future settlement. His ancestry was identified with the earliest history of the West, one of them being that old and successful soldier, General George Rogers Clark.

He was left an orphan at the age of six^ Reverses in business had previously swept away his father's estate, and all young Nathan had left him for an heritage was an honorable name. Cared for, however, by his relatives, he was sent to school and at the a^e of ten became a pupil of Hon. John I Morrison late Trea^irer of State, then Principal of the Washington County Seminary, remaining under his tutelage fnur years. In 1839 he became a student in the Indiana University, at Greonca-tle, for a short time, but wa3 compelled for want of means, to leave his studies and earn his bread by the sweat of his brow In 1842 he taught school in Westport, Missouri, then a frontier town

In the struggles of his earlier years was developed the firmness, self-reliance and integrity of his nature. He returned to his native State, and taught school, studied medicine, and beoame one of tho most successful and esteemed practitioners in Southern Indiana. In 1844 he cast his first vote for Henry Clay.

When the war "with Mexico was declared, he raised a company, and was elected Captain, and left for the seat of war on the 13th of July, 1846. In the battle of Buena Vista be distinguished himself for intrepidity and courage. Soon after the close of the war his friends brought him out as the Whig candidate for the State Senate in Washington county, whore his party were hopelessly in the minority* andjof coiiree-lie did not succeed.

He was on the electoral ticket for General Scotland canvassed the Second District with his opponent. In 1856 he was for Fillmore, and in 1860 he supported Bell and Everett, on the platform of "the Union, the Constitution, and the Laws," in tbe hope that their success would bar monize tbe conflicting elements and prevent secession.

Immediately upon the fall of Fort Sumter he raised a company for the war, was elected Captain on the 23d of April, 1861, was commissionec^Colonel of tbe Fourteenth regiment Indiana Volunteers while in camp of instruction at Terre Haute, and joined General McClellan at Rich Mountain, West Virginia. After an arduous winter campaign in the Mountains, he was attached to Shields division at Winchester. Shields' having been wounded, the command devolved on Kimball, who won a most signal victory over

Stonewall" Jackson. In January, 1862, he was with McClellan before Richmond. In the great battle of Antietam he distinguished himself,, successfully holding an, imporlant position against most obstinate assaults. The ditch, since so celebrated for the number of the rebel dead found in it, was immediately in Kimball's front. In the battle of Fredericksburg, December 12th, 1862, he was severely wounded in the thigh by a canister shot. In three months afterwards he was with Grant at Vicksburg. In Arkansas be superintended the carrying out of the reconstructed policy of President Lincoln, and was complimented by the passage of

Legislated resolution of commendation. He was with Sherman in his grand oam^ paign against Atlanta, was in tbe thiokest of the fight in the battles of Kenesaw Mountain and Peach Tree Creek* fought with terrible effect at Franklin, and for bravery in the battle of Nashville was made a Major General. From the beginning to the close of the war he possessed the confidence of his superiors and the love of his men. Ordered to Texas, he was finally, in September, 1865, mustered out of the service in that State on account of the close of the war.

While in Arkansas he was nominated by the Republican Convention of Indiana for Lieutenant Governor, but declined, preferring to give bis service to his country in the field until the rebellion should be crushed.

In February, 1866, he received the Republican nomination for Treasurer of State and after a brilliant canvass, in which he was one of the most effective and eloquent speakers in the field, he was triumphantly elected. He has discharged the duties of his trust with the same integrity and ability that has heretofore characterized his public and private life, he people of Indiana have nis past untarnished record sb his guarantee that he will in future, as heretofore, discharge tbe duties incumbent upon him in a manner at once creditable to himself, and beneficial in the highest degree to the honor and prosperity of the State. FOR CLERK OF THE STTPREME COfKT

He was an anti-slavery man, a native ot Kentucky, and well known for his anti-slavery views. His father was without tbe means to educate him as he earnestly desired, and during young McCoy's academic dajs at Processors J. I. Morrison's and B. C.

COL. JAMES B. BLACK.

James B. Blaok, who ia twenty-nine years of age, has been a citizen of Indiana since 1846. In the fall of 1856 he entered Asbury University, at Greencastle, ivbere, depending entirely on his own exertions, he prosecuted his studies until, 1860, when having obtained a tutorship in the State University, he moved thither and continued his education until the breaking out of the war. The week Fort Sumter was attacked he enlisted aa a private in the first company formed in Monroe county. Not succeoding in being assigned to one of the three months regiments, the company to which ho belonged was attached to the JFourtee th Regiment then farming at Terre Haute, into whioh organization Mr. B. was mustered as a Sergeant. Soon afterward he was removed to (Jamp Morton and assigned to the Eighteenth Regiment, ia which, by election of his company, he was made Second Lieutenant. On the 16th of August, 1861, he was mustered into the United States service^for three years as First Liautenant of Company "H," Eighteenth Regiment, and immediately went with his regiment to join the army of Fremont, and with it participated in the Springfield campaign. He was with Pope at ihe first important capture oi prisoners at Black water, and with Curtis in the Pea Ridge campaign and march through Ar:ampi kansas to Hellena. With tho Thirteenth Corps he went through the battles and siege of the Vicksfturg campaign, during the latter part of which he was promoted to the Captaincy of his company. He also participated in the campaign' under Banks up the Teche and the Coast of Texas. As Judge Advocate of. the United States in Texas, he received the special commendation of Major General Dana.

In Jtfotiiry^lSe^ the 18th re"»enl1sf«l An Veterans, and while on veteran furlough, he received orders to join the 17th corps, to which this regiment had been attache*!, at Washington. After a short term of ervico with General R. S. Foster on the James river, the 18th went to join Sheridan in the Valloy, immediately after his assignment to that Division. Mr. B. participated wTtTThis regiment in all the battles and marches of the Valley campaign, and after the battle of Cedar Creek, was promoted successively Major and Lieuten-ant-Colonel in place of Major* Williams and Lieutenant-Colonel Charles, who died of wounds received in that engagement.

In 1864, after his regiment l\fid fought its last engagement, and had gone into winter quarters, and the end of the war could easily be seen, he was mustered out by reason of the expiration of his term of service. Since January, 1865, he has been a resident of Indianapolis, engaged in the practice of law. He is a genUeman of large Culture, excellent legal at~ tainmeats, and in every way fitted to the duties of tbe position for which he was nominated. It is an insult to patriotism and'humanity itself to institute any comparison between him and his rebel competitor, Mr. A. C. Packard, whose record in tbe secession Legislature of 1863, is a stench in the nostrils of every citiran of Indiana. I

F03 ATTORNEY GENERAL—DELANO S. WILLIAMSON. Hon. Delana E. Williamson waa born in Fleming county, Kentucky, Is now in his 45th year, commenced the practice of law in Clay county ^Indiana, represented the county in the Indiana Legislature. Mr. W. was in politics a Douglas Democrat until the firing cf the first gun of the rebellion ever since that time he has been an outspoken, unflinching Union man, and has actively co-operated with tbe party in word and deed. His efficieat services in tbe cause of the Union party are well known, as he has canvassed' the larger portion of the State twice. Aa. a public speaker he ranks aa^ong the foremost men in Indiana.9

FOR SUPERINTENDENT OF rfBLTC INSTRUCTION—BARNABAS C. HOBBS. Barnabas C. Hobbs is a native Hoosier. ani emphatically a self-made man. He was boru in Washington county, October 14th, 1815. For much of his early trainng he is indebted to the efficient instruction of Hon. Jobn JLMorrison, late Treasurer of State. When eighteen years old he commenced teaching in the common schools in bis native county. Four years afterwards be entered Cincinnati College, where for one year he enjoyed the instruction of such teachers as W. H. McGuffey, O. M. Mitchell and E. D. Mansfield, men whose names have become household words to the profession. On leaving college he was called to take chargo of a boarding school in Eastern Ohio, where he remained four years. Froui thence he removed to Richmond, in this State, and there established and maintained an interesting and prosperous school, till called to assume the superintendency of Earlham College, then in its infancy. After remaining at Earlham two years he gave up his position and for a time was engaged as civil engineer or the Indiana Central and some other railroads. In 1851 he was made Superintendent of the Western Manual Labor School, now Bloomingdale Academy, in Parke county. He spent over fifteen years in conection with this school, and his labors wefe uniformly crowned with success, as can be testified by his numerous students in almost every county in the State.

In 1866 he was again elected President of Earlbam College, of Wayne county, which position he nowwortbily fills. On the passage of tbe Normal School bill by the Legislature in 1866, he was appointed by tbe Senate, on the recommendation of Governor Morton, a member of tbe Normal School Board—an ap]»ointment universally satisfactory to educators when made, and vindicated by tbe ability with which he has performed his duties in connection with that institution: By appointment of the Board he visited, in 1865, tbe principal Normal Schools in the United States in ordef to ascertain what provisions eur State should make in providing accommodations for such aa institution.

Senator Morton.

"Mack" the well known gueinllaof the Cincinati Commercial in a recent letter thus alludes to our distinguished Senator:

Very few strangers visit the Senate chamber without inquiring which of tba assembled fifty-lour is Governor Morton, of Indiana. They wil he pointed to a man seated to the left of tbe presiding »r: a large man of about fifty, with a id thinly coveted with dark

offic heac

hair

the sides, but inclining to baldness on top a big, broad forehead, and a pair of large, dark eyes that may look dull aud expressionless, or keen and bright, according as their owner is interested

not in what i&

going on around him. An indisposition of two or three years duration has taken the color out of his cheeks, but otherwise wheq seated, he has the appearance of one in good health, it is only when b« attempts to walk across the floor that his ailment discoverable, and in thie respect he is improviug slowly, but his physician says certainly. He moves about with much less effort, apparently then he did three month ago.

If Morton had never been a Senator, he would bo remembered as the great Governor of Indiana, as long as any man connected in a civil capacity with tt,e late war is remembered if he be hud nevtsr beeu Governor of Indiana he would already be known from the part he hus taken in the debate of the Senate since his accession to that body, as one" of tho ablest member#' of it. There is that in him which will show iuclf any where you put him as superior to the ordinary siuff of which latter day statesmen are made. There is such a deplorable similarity of unimprovable mediocrity among mast of our Congressmen that one is led to suspect they are manufactured by machinery on the division of labor principle—a hundred heads made in one shop, a hundred bands in another, a hundred feel in another, and so on—any head will fit on a»y shoulder. On the same subject and on the same sidu, tbey may ail be relied upon for nearly the saruc speech. But Morton is not of that kind. There is an individuality of thought and expression about all he says that separates him from the crowd and marks him as a man of great intellectual power. His speeches are always' full of strong points, which carry conviction to the minds of his heurers, and clinch it there to stay. He can. say more in ten minutes than most men will say in an hour, and say it so it will be remembered, too. His style is forcible but not flowery Btrong, but not brilliant." Ho bns none of-that cheap ambition for display in debate which consists of ornament without thought, and pomp without substance, and invariably mistakes the glare of .words for the glitter of idea?, which has beeu aptly compared to tho "Helen" of the sculptor Lysippus, which makes finery supply the place of beauty.

To fully appreciate his power, you muic listen to a debate in the Senate—hear hu associates rise one after another—and de claim in majestic common-place, then h*ar Morton thunder for about ten minuirs. You'll discover at once the differ-) ence between debate and declamation.— In every discussion in which he has yet taken part, he has shown his superiority over all his associates in the faculty of powerful condensation which present* thoughts one after another in rapid succession without the waste of a sing la word. And to answer him in the styla of an ordinary stump speech is only tu tilt with the sword oi harlequin against the armor of Achilles. Morton i9 not les*

reat as a politician tban as a statesman. I were at liberty to print all I know ou the subject, I couid easily show how much better off the Republican party would b'j to-day, than it is, if it bad taken bis ad. vice at times during the past two year.".

And President Johnson, if he had done as Morton advised him two years ago, would ib all probability be the Republican candidate for President, instead of being on the eve of conviction before a Republican caucus, commonly called a high court of impeachment. Morion bad just returned from Europe when the (Sivil Rights Bill was presented tc the President. He heard in New York pf the likelihood of a veto, and came on here iu great haste to advise the President to reconsider his determination and sign the bill. I met him while he was here, and he predicted in tbe result of tbe veto precisely what has hapj entd—a rupture between Congress and the Pretidert, in which the latter would certainly be pushed to the wall.

The gross ruceipts of the lecture of Fred. Douglass, at Indianapolis, for the benefit of the African M. E. Church did not amount to half enough to defray the expenses. Bad management is assigned as the cause.
