Public Debt Statement leave Of o.
sence Granted 60 Depufy Clerks
The Impeachment Trial. a

scnce Granted Go Depufy Clerks
The Impeachment Trial. 4
NEW YORK, April 4.-The T,ues
Washington special says: 1t is now
unders TODD that il is the intention Of
the defense, when the prosecution
rests their case, 10 move further de-
lay Of a week or ten days, on the
ground of need Of preparation Of the
opening argument, and the production
Of witnesses. 1t is pretty certain that
the request. If made, will be denied.
The counsel for the defense have ap-
piled fer and obtained the issue of a
subpoena for Mack, Of the Cincinnati
Commercial TO appear as witness on
behalf Of the President. 1t is expect
ed that he will testify to the fact
that, previous to the final removal Of
Stanton, the President defended him
self against the charge Of conspiracy
which was then made against him, and
now forms the chief point Of the i'm
peachment articles. He will be used
by the prosecution, on the cross ex-
animation, 10 show that the President
denounced Congress in private as well
as in public.
4 Herald's Washington special
states that the public debt statement
will be issued to-day, and will show a
slight increase.
A large number of leaves Of alb
sence are being granted IN the several
departments to clerks who claim
their residence in Connecticut, TO al
low them to 90 home to vote
The process of reducing the cleri-
cal force of the Treasury Department
is now going on. About a dozen
female clerks and cOpyists were dis
charged a day or two ago, and many
more have been notified that they
will be discharged.
Rebel Colonel Greenfield has es-
capped from the Dry Tortugas. He
was sentenced for life, on conviction
of conspiracy with others TO burn
the cities Of Chicago aud Buffalo
and effect the release Of the rebel
prisoners confined at Camp Douglas.

HAIR vIGOR,
For the Renovation of the Hair.
The GREAT DEsDERArUM of the Age.

A dressing which is at once agree
able, healthy, and efectual for pre-
serving the hair Faded or gray hair
IS soon restored to as original color,
and the gloss and freshness of youth.
Thin hair is thickened, falling hair
checked, and badness often. though
not always, cured by its use. Nothing
can restore the hair where the folli-
cles are destroyed. or the glands
atrophied and decayed But such as
remain can De saved for usefulness by
this application, Instead Of fouling
the hair with pasty sediment, it will
keep it clean and vigorous It's ocea-
sional use will prevent the hair from
turning gray OF. falling off, and conse-
quently prevent badness. Free from
those deleterious substances which
make some preparations dangerous
and injurious to the hair, the Vigor
can only benefit but not harm it. If
wanted merely for
Hair Dressing, a
nothing else can be found so desir-
able. Containing neither oil nor dye,
it does not soil white cambric, and
yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it
a rich glossy lustre and a grateful
perfume.

matizing Farm Labor.

In an article on this subject, the Petersburg
Indec offers the following suggestions which
we think worthy the consideration Of our farm
ers:
Every farmer possessing any administrative
talent will be able to enforce the following rules,
the observance of which is absolutely necessary
to success, and the disregard of them but little
more than farming at random
L. Employ the most reliable hands in your
reach, selecting the best one at somewhat IN
creased wages, to feel some responsibility In ex-
ecuting your instructions.
g Make every man amenablc for the I'M
plements with which he works, and require
that they shall always be put in their proper
places at night or when not In use.
3. Those who have the management OF the
horses or mules shall be required to groom them
every morning, and at night when they are
brought to the stable out of the mud. The
wagons and plows should be put in a safe place,
the harness hung upin the stable, and the sta
bic securely locked at night.
4. All cursing. swearing and drunkenness
should be prohibited.
5. No holidays, other than those which are
customary, except by special permission.
6. All lost time to be deducted.
7. The wages to be paid punctualy at the
end of every month, and at no other time.
Let these rules be perfectly understood at the
time of hiring-either by written contract, or
in the presence of witnesses-and every thing
may be expected to go on harmoniously. 1t is
taken for granted that the employer will always
treat his hands with Kindness and make all
necessary provision for the comfort Of them
selves and families
By the adoption of some such regulations as
these, and having nothing to do with the vicious
sentiay improved, and the status of the color
ed race elevated accordingly"

The Next Administration.

The speculations which are INDUCED by the
Press in regard to the policy of the President
elect if compiled would fill many folio volumes !;
and as we read them, we cannot forbear the
reflection that as Grant has been the child of
circumstances In the past, he will in the future
adapt himself to these. The time is coming
when the imam on horseback" will clatter on
his iron shod steed through the streets of Wash
ington but the day is not yet We must drift
on further towards the breakers which fringe
the shores of the future. For the present the
mere mechanism of the Government will keep
us afoat.
1t is curious fact, known to comparative
anatomists, that the heart of shark will con-
tnue its regular pusations long after it has been
cut from the bosom of the monster, whose
circulation it once controlled. We have seen
this +; pulse after pulse is recorded, while the
great body to which it once gave animation is
cold and stark. So with the mere machinery
of our Government 1t will go on day after
day, gradually becoming less vigorous in its
operation, until at last with its final pulsation
the system of which it was born becomes ex-
tinct When that day arrives we shall find that
some aspiring man will take the reins of Gov
eminent in his gauntletted hand but for the
present the pulsation still goes on with auto
matte force, and the next administration will be
shaped, as we have said, according to circum-
stances as they may arise. -NoyoM Varginian

FARMING.-Dr. Franklin said ''There seems
to be but three ways for ration to acquire
wealth. The first is by war, as the Romans did
by plundering their neighbors; this is robbery.
The second by commerce, which is frequently

crease of seed thrown into the ground in kind
of continual miracle wrought by the hand of
God, in his favor, as reward for his innocent
life and his virtuous industry.
