LYONS kathairOn.

IT Is A MOST DELIGHTFUL HAIR DRESSING.
II eradicates scurf and dandruff.
1t keeps the headcoo and clean.
1t makes the hair, soft and glossy.
1t prevents hair turning gray aud falling of.
II restores hair upon premaiurely bald heads.
This is Just what Lyon S katharon will do. 1t is
pretty-it is cheap-durable. 1t is literally sold
by the carload and yet its almost incredible de-
mand is daily increasing. until there is hardly a
a country store that does not keep 1t. or family
that does not use it.

Whnf OF the Future 2

We have seen letters from the interior
ofthe State that are full of encouragement
for the opponents of radicalism. The
conservative voters are generally regis
tering their names, much to the chagrin
of the radicals, and the prospect for the
defeat of the constitutional amendment
i. highly cheering 1t is not to be ex-
pected that as large vote can be polled
under the Registration act as there
would otherwise be, but the radical
ticket will suffer quite as much from the
deficiency rs the antiradical will. There
are many men in the State, who have
voted with the Republican party here
tofore who feel and know that the policy
pursued by the radicals is ruinous,
but who nevertheless fear to provoke
radical anger and insult Ivy voting
againstth that policy. Many of them, there
fore, will fail to register, and will stay
away from the polls.
But there must be no slackenng of
effort on the part of conservative men.
We must work vigorously and patiently
and continually. We must abandon all
idea of rest until the cont It is won. II
beaten this spring, (Which, Heaven for
fend,) we will strive the more earnestly
for success in October If beaten then,
we will strive still harder next year, and
we give due notice to the radical gentry
that their evil control over the affairs Of
this State will be opposed again and
again, in every legal way, until men
competent and willing to govern Alright
shall be placed in power. Daunted by
no defeat, the conservative men of~West
Virginia will march right on, gathering
new strength every day, until their of
forts tor the redemption Of the State
from radical misrule shall he crowned
with complete success. They know they
are right and are determined to go ahead.
They have enlisted ''for the war" and
will fight il ont on this line" it it takes
all of the next ten years Radical pro
sciiptionist4 may rs we'll understand this
at once
We have hope for the defeat of the
constitutional amendment We have still
stronger hope for the defeat of the radi-
cal candidates next fall; and we tpolc we
shall succeed ere long.

The Towmhhip Kieclious,

The day for the annual election OF

but the overshadowing Importance of
the vote upon the constitutional amend

had taken the following oath: "Sirs,

termined to abolish slavery and, so help

He also stated that the time was not
far distant when there wouldbe war if
the policy of President Johnson was not

the oath Of May.
The schools of the townships, all or

COMMITTEES in each towship, that lie take
immediate steps for calling a township
meeting for that purposc. The sooner
the nominations are made, the more
thorough the canvass will be, and the
more complete will be the certainty OF
electing our candidates. Special pains
should be taken in the selection of Su'
pervisors.
P. S.-Since writing the above we
have received the call for Township

Conservatism of the South.

The very scrupulous and wonderfully
conscientious editors who deem it so very
essential to their fame through the "widc
world" and to The general well-being of
mankind that their objections to the fhila-
deiphia Convention platform should be
daily made known to an admiring genera
ton have fully indicated themselves, ana
the globe revolycs little more smootniy
on its axis. II is now to be hoped that they
are content, since their honor and uniVer-
sal fame are adjusted, and the expecta-
lions of the whole human race are iuily
satisfied!
The importance of these gentlemen is
fully appreciated, and the public have
been very attentive to their proper self
righteousness and perpendicularncss. Now,
General Dick TAYLOR, of Louisiana, and
General MCGOWAN, Of South Carolina,
General JOSEPH Z. JOHNSTON. Colonel
THOMAS S. FLoURNor of Halifax, men,
Der Of the Convention, and that very much
wounded and gallant colonel, WITHERs of
Lynchburg, now turned editor. together
with many other men who bravcly defend
ed their country, and proved their faith by
perilling their lives in hundred battles,
yielded most gracefully, for the good oftheir
country, their sensitivcncSs touching main
ly the admission Of facts they could not
deny. Indeed, we may assert that that
IF nrarlaSS 70, Syntlass al inn
and unsurpassed patriotism, ROBERT f.
LEE, may be put in the same category.
But. then these are very unimportant per-
sons, very "small potatoes compared
with the high-mettlcd editors whose indg-
nant virtues and rampant honor prompt to
the daily reputation Of the platform.
1t is q consolation, that while these
soldier-men of bluntcd perceptions and
dull-edged honor have shown little reluc
lance to bctray their country, these brave
editors who are ready at a moments warn
ing to sacrifice for their country those
valuable lives of theirs which they have
saved for the present occasion, have stood
manfully by their land, and are deter
mined that they will not give up even
sentiment, though the surrender may re-
store equal rights to the South and lift her
up from the dust and dcsolation Of poverty.
They are men OF "sentimcnt,' and how
wrong was Sir PETER TEAzLE when, i'll a
moment of passion, he exclaimed as to
JosEPm SURFACE, "Damn his sentiments"
These are much better things than peace,
and quiet, and order, and rights, and ma
tons prospcrity-just as much as are the
noble gentlemen who entertain them above
the military persons we have referred to
in the eyes Of the nation.

ing the arguments and helping the plans
of the very party which is at this moment
plotting our humiliation as q people, to
stop and reflect. 1t is the height OF folly
to say that we can't be any worse off than
we are now-that we have nothing to lose
whether the Radicals are triumphant or
not. We have much, very much, to lose
but unless President Johnson's admlnlstra-
tion is sustained, and the Radicals tho
roughly repudiated in the coming cleo

port we can to the National Union party,

Johnson we may yet avoid the destruc-
