We are gratifed to learn that the
differences heretofore existing among
the citizens of Henderson, with refer
euce to the payment of taxes to meet
the interest on the railroad bonds,
have all been amlcably adjusted. The
greater part of the bonds have been
cashed by the people of Henderson
County themselves, and the road will
now be pushed forward to an early
completion. Our citizens will be
glad to hear the announcement that the
Company has finished enough Of the
road to entitle them tc our bonds.
We have no doubt, moreover, that
every effort will be made to have our
bonds cashed, SO that iron may be
purchased and the road fnisheato
Madisonville. r With the southern
end of the road completed to Hop
kinsville and the northern end to
Madisonville, the short gap between
those towns, in which is located the
celebrated coal mines, would soon be
provided for and closed up. We hope
the officers of the Company, now that
they have the Henderson trouble out
of their way, will push the road with
an energy and zeal that will result in
its early completion S aaaa

THE Chicago journal says that
while General STEEDMAN, Collector of
Internal Revenue at New Orleans,
has hitherto been one of ANDREW
JoHNsoN's most enthusiastic friends,
since the President was impeached he
has sought occasion to switch off from
JOHNSON to GRANT. At a banquet
given in the Crescent City, few days
ago, he said, in response to toast in
honor of the President, that it was
the office and not the man which he
respected, and that all his laudations
of Mr.. JOHNSON in times past were
tributes to the position he occupies
and not to the character which he
manifesto So it goes the country
over. 1t is the old story Of the rats
DESERVING the sinking ship. Hungry
officials, who were only too willing to
kiss the big toe of A. j. so long as he
was the dispenser of patronage, are
now eager to become reconciled with
the Republican party. -.

IT is said Andy Johnson, at the
suggestion of Mrs. Cobb, aud in pur-
suance of his practice in pardoning
rebels, proposes to issue a pardon to
himself, in advance, and plead it in
defense on his trial We can't see
why it would not do as well in his
case as that of any other rebel
Terre Hdute Express.
This would be just as proper as to
pardon a man before suits against
him were decided, as he did in the
case of EBNER, of Vincennes.

The New York World and other
Copperhead papers INSIST that Mr..
JOHNSON is a Republican and not a
Democratic President. How, then,
can these papers charge his impeach-
ment and removal from Office as a
partisan performance? If he is still
a Republican, it must be for some
thing else than his Republicanism,
that he is removed.

HAIR WIGOR.
For the Renovation of the Hair.
The GREAT DEsIDERATUM of the Age.


A dressing which is at once agree
able. healthy, and effectual for pre-
serving the hair. Faded or gray hair
IS soon restored to Its original coI9r,
and the gloss and freshness Of youth.
Thin hair is thiekeued. 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 a pasty sediment, it will
keep it clean and vigorous. Its occa-
sionaI use will prevent the hair from
turning gray or 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.
nothing else can be found SO desir-
able. Containing neither oil nor dye,
it does not soil white cambria, and
yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it
a rich glossy lustre and a grateful
perfume.

The Hon. Charles Gibbons.

The Republican Convention which was in
session at Concert Hall yesterday, placed
before the people as candidate for the office
of District Attorney, the Hon. Charles Glib
bons, a gentleman of acknowledged ability
and integrity, and one who can command the
hearty support of the Republicans OF the
city. Mr. Gibbons is native of Wilmington,
Delaware, from which place he removed to
Philadelphia early in life. He became
student flaw in the Office of Charles Chauncey,
ESQ.,, and was admitted to practice in the
year 1888. He soon attained commanding
position at the bar, and in 1874 entered poll
tical life, receiving, without solicitation on
his part the Wing nomination for the State
Senate, to which body he was duly returned.
He served with great credit for three years,
the last year presiding over the body Of which
he was member. On the dissolution of the
old Wing party Mr.. Gibbons became an ear
nest Republican, being fully identified with
the cause of progress and justice from the
time OF the Fremont campaign. In 1856 Mr..
Gibbons accepted the Republican nomination
for Congress in the First District receiving
the hearty support Of the party.
Mr.. Gibbons again comes before the people
as a candidate for responsible off ,ial posi-
tiop, and this time, as in the past, he has
been sought by the Office and not obtained the
nomination by any personal solicitation or iu-
huence. His successful career at the bar and
in public life, his unquestionable integrity,
and his rare accomplishments as an orator,
commend him to the support of all who
are or have ever been associated with the great
party of which he has been made a standard
bearer. Strong in all the qualifications re-
quired for the faithful aud satisfactory exeou-
tion of the duties of the position to which he
has been nominated, he will receive the cordial
and full support of the party and people, aud
will contribute in no small measure to the
success OF the whole ticket in the impending
contest.

suits that had descended through many gene
rations, the most part in rags, and in no way
fitting their present wearers-the greater part
of them covered with itch and their converse
tion of oxen Immediately after dinner they
began with the Princess health in huge
bumper, and in less than half an hour she found
herself in the midst of thirty-four monsters 80
drunk that none of them could articulate
"Et rendant les 6oyaur d tous ceS d'sdstrear
visdges." The minister preached sermon the
following Sunday in which he gave an exact
account of all the marriages that had hap
peped in the world from the days of Adam
down to the last of the patriarchs. She says
of her father.iu-law that he had read but two
books, "Telemaque" and "Amelot's Roman
History" and discoursed of them so tediously
that the Princess tainted from mere ennui at
the very first interview; then he drank night
and day, and, though living in poverty,
magnifcence, and went to dinner
with three nourishes of cracked trunpets. He
used to confer his little dignities in harangues
so pompous that his daughter-in-lsw at once
laughed and was ashamed of him. OF her
triumpbal entry into the city Of Bareuth, she
says the whole procession consisted of one
coach. She was conducted into the palace in
great state; to her apartments through a
l"Dg passage hung with cobwebs, and so
abominably filthy as to turn her stomach in
hurryiDg through it, this opened into an ante
chamber filed with old tapestry SO torn and
faded that the figures looked like so many
ghosts. There are plenty of laughable Incl
dents which it is impossible for US to 6nd
space for, all which forms singular contrast
with the Prussia of to-day, with population
of 80, 600 900, enormous territory, splendid
army, and, as we remarked at the outset, be.
yond all dispute, one of the leading nations Of
the earth.
