The heads of hair were found to be
nearly equal in weight and the deficiency
in the number of hairs in the black, brown
and red colors was fully counterbslsnced
by a corresponding insrease Of bulk in the

q woman's head OF hair is about fourteen
ounces.

EDITORS LEADER: a candidates for the
various official positions are now being
brought forward by the people for nomins-
ton, it may not be improper to suggest the
name of Samuel Plumb Esq, OF Lorain
county, as a man we'll fitted to fill the now
doubly responsible position Of State Sens.
tor. At this time, while the whole nation
is weighed down by the unspesksblec slam-
tiles which the rebellion has brought upon
us; while fnsncisl questions of vital i'm
portancs require profound legislation and
above all, Whils the eXtirp9tI9n IL fact Of.
that blasting shame and disgrace Of Amer
can RepubTicsnism, human slavery, is not
vet accomplished, 1t is wise to exercise
great care in selecting men to do this work
Tor us. We live in the midst Of great
events, and we see not the halo OF glory
which will envelope them, if they are rigbt-
lv shaped now, when distance in time as
well as space lends enchantment 10 the
vew. But should we N wrong, rs
did our ancestors, the just curse Of future
generations will mar The glory of
achievements, fame of cur generals, wis
dom of our statesmen, and virtue OF our
sge
Mr.. Plumb has had q long experience in
legislative matters, and his record as q
member of the House tells us how earnest
ly he opposed the passage Of the famous
black laws. To-day he stands where be has
stood his whole life, in favor of extending
universal suffrage and protection to the
negro, where ne is; not In some eoOped up
corner of Florida. MIR. Plumb's great ex-
perience as q finsncier marks him as emf.
nently fit to leok after the interest of the
Stale and government; in brief he is just
the able, ardent, and fearless man for the
pIsce,sud the people will consult their W
interest by sending him.

The Senatorial NOmIDatiOn in the LO-
rein and Medina District

The Senatorial NOmIDatiOn in the LO-
rein and Medina Distinct
We have received communications TO-
day from two different localities, each sug-
costing the name of Samuel Plumb, Esq,
for the Union Senatorial nomination in the
Lorsiu and Medina District We append
both, merely remarking in reference to
them that Mr.. Plumb will mske an excel
lent Senst,r, radically right on the issues
which now sgItate the country, and we'll
fitted by business habits and legislative ex-
p~erience to serve airy constituency well
and honorably. We are glad to learn that
there is little doubt of his nomination, and
no doubt whatever of his election if nom
mated.
Our first correspondent, writing from
Oberlin, spends some time in defending
Messrs. Fairchild and Plumb from the at
tack on them by the Herald. He contin-
ues:
And now we would like 10 say just a
word concerning Mr.. Plumb and the res-
sons why we should send him IS our rep
reseRtstive to our Senate. First, He is
stsunch and sound and as true as steel on
all the issues we have at stake. He has
| served three years in the Ohio Assembly
already, and therefore has legislative e1-
perience, Sc. He served one year IS Chair
man of the Committee on Finance, and
Was two years Chairman of the Committee
on Common Schools, wa q working MEM
Der and is 3 working man. He has been
extensively associated with statesmen of
the Chase, Giddings and Townsend school.
He is largely acquainted with the leading
political men OF the day, is live man, and
| up with the spirit of the age. He is just
the man we want to help in the election of
our United States Senator. His position
is defined by the labor of his life, aud he
will need no letters to "drSW him OUT
He knows the wishes and wants Of our
| people, and when the time comes to say
aye or nay he will not have to wait till he
hears from his constituency before be can
open his mouth. By q knowledge of law
and various branches of business he is en-
inently qualified for the Office of State
Senator, and we hope that nothing will in
terfere with his due nomination and cleo
ton. A VOTER.

The Monroe LGcfrine and San Do
mFnao-

The Monroe LOctrtne and San Do
miDEO.
An excellent opportunity for our gov
eminent TO insist upon the enforcement of
the Monroe doctrine is afforded at this
juncture by the stste of affairs in San Do
mingo. As is well known, an attempt to
reduce this little Republic to subsection
was commenced by Spain in theyear 1861.
After a few years struggle the Spanish
Cortes, convinced of the hopelessness of the
task of ever obtaining control of the island,
decreed the abandonment of the war there.
The Spanish commander, General Gsnds-
rs, insists, however, that 8 clause shall be
inserted in the treaty declaring that the
invasion was made at the solicitation OF
the natives, in their desire for restoration
to the protection of the mother country,
and that it was abandoned by the invsd-
ers voluntarily so soon as they had sui.
icient evidence that the majority Of the
people were opposed to it. This the Do
minicsns Indignantly refused to do, as they
had never disgrsced their national honor
by any such solicitation. General Gsnds.
"a has thereupon ordered a renewal of hos.
%tilities, and the Domicicans are preparing
for fresh war rather than concede their
own degradation. It might be well fol
our government TO hint TO Spain that ii
was prepared to take the part of the weak
but heroic republic of San Domingo.

ARepubIican Alliance In EOuth Amer
IL fnn-

..n IGA.
The Republics of South America have
for q long time been in 3 turbulent and
chaotic condition, disturbed by internal
connections, threatened by their powerful
neighbor the emperor of Brazil, and dread
ing the Intervention Of European powers
to subvert their independence. A recent
step taken by several of them will however
tend to remove these disturbing influences
ana to give them peace and security. A
treaty was entered into at Lima in January
last, between seven States-namely, Sal
vsdor, Venezuela, Columbis, Bolivia, Chill,
Peru and EquadOr-by which they agree
not to go 10 war with each ether for fifteen
years, to settle any difficulty which may
arise by peaceful arbitration, not to permit
troops or munitions of war to pass through
their territory to be used against any one
of the contracting States, nor to allow the
vessels of any foreign power which may be
st wal with any of the contracting States
to reft or obtain goods c~ontraband of war
in their ports. This treaty will have seve-
raj good effs5ts. 1t will prevent internal
commotions and Instructions. 1t will
prevent armed conflict between the allied
States. 1t gives them, united, q power
which is able to cope with that of Brazil,
and which Spain aud France will have to
respect Had ouch a tresty been entered
into between the Central American repub-
lies four years ago the condition of affairs
in Mexico would nave been far better.
