The speech was made in response to toast

Mr.. CHAIRMAN In the history of this
country 1t has never before been thought
necessary either to toast the Supreme
Court or defend it. But times have changed
! Very recently attacks full of bitter malig-
nifty have been made on that tribunal, and
measures are deliberately taken to break
down It's just authority. Considering by
whom these assaults are made, and the OBJ
Ject OF them, it would perhaps, be bet
ter to encourage them, since it is certain

to anybody but their authors. If Won have

Speaker of the Senate.

Judge Manly, the present Speaker of the
Senate, and Senator elect to the Congress
of the United States, gave notice prior to
the recess of the General Assembly that he
would, before the close of the session, re-
sign the Speakership of the Senate. This
action is rendered necessary by his accept
ance of the position in Congress to which
he has been elected, beginning on the 18th
of March next. 1t will therefore be neces,
sary for the Senate to elect presiding Off
Ger in his stead
We have heard the names of several
prominent Senators in connection with the
position, any of whom would fill the Office
most acceptably. We take it for granted

ALEXANDER II. STEPHENS, i'll Public and Private,-
with letters and speeches before, during and
since the war. BY HENRY CLEVELAND.
We are indebted to the National Pub
fishing Company of Richmond, Va, for
this very beautiful volume. The advanced
sheets of the work were submitted to Mr.
Stephens, and they were approved by that
gentleman. The lifs and writings of so
Iii stinguisbed statesman, who in the days
peer of the foremost, and is now almost
the only remaining representative of that
galaxy Of genius which shed immortal re-
nown upon the Republic, would at any time
be desired, but the connection of Mr..
Stephens with the secession of the South
ern States his prominent position as Vice
President of the Confederate States, and
his Hampton Roads mission, with his in
teresting correspondence with the leading
spirits of the Confederate Government,
will render his biography an important
portion of the history of events and times
which must attract the attention of the
world
The author of this book, MI Henry
Cleveland, formerly editor of the Augusta,
Georgia, ConsttHiOndliSt, has long been the
intimate friend of the great Southern states
man, Is personally familiar with his public
and private life, and has had free and un-
restricted access to all OF his literary treas
ures, consisting of valuable documents, and
the correspondence of thirty years with
the great inteliects of the country. The
work, i'll portraying lIr. Stephens as tie
second officer of the Southern Confederaoy
gives "those interior lights and shadows
of the great war only known to those high
officers who watched the food-tide Of revo
luton from its fountain springs" Many
letters and papers appear in this work
which have been cleaned from the most
important correspondence of the war, and
have never before been accessible to the
historian.
| The work is gotten up in the best style
and the engravings, four in number, are the
finest steel-plate. There are two excellent
likenesses of Mr.. Stephens, sketch of his
residence, and another of the homestead
burial ground. The autograph letters Of

Destructive of comfort, and not worth q fig;

And rejoice in your own luxuriant hair.
REPARATOR CAPILLI.
For restoring hair upon bald heads (from
whatever cause it may have fallen out) and
forcing growth of hair upon the face, it has
10 equal. 1t will force the beard to grow
upon the smoothest face in from five to eight
weeks, or hair upon bald heads in from two
to three months. A few ignorant practition-
ers have asserted that there is nothing that
will force or hasten the growth of the hair or
beard. Their assertions are false, as thous-
ands of living witnesses from their own ex-
perience) can bear witness. But many will
say, how are we to distinguish the genuine
from the spurious? 1t certainly is difficult
as nine-tenths of the different Preparations
advertised for the hair and beard are entirely
worthless, and you may have already thrswn
away large amounts in their purchase. To
such we would say, try the Reparator Capil-
Ii; it will cost you nothing unless it fully
comes up to our representations. If your
Druggist does not keep it, send us one dollar
and we will forward it, postpaid, together
with a receipt for the money, which will be
returned you on application, providing entire
satisfaction is not given. Address,
