ened, falling hair checked, and bald ness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with pasty sedi- ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently 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 a
 HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. 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 grateful perfume.

The Radicals and the Southern States.

The Washington correspondent of the
Worcester. Nlass.) Spy, admitting in the full
est extent the restitution, suffering and cha
otto condition of the Southern States, COM
plains bitterly of the apathy of the republl-
cans on the subject. Pressing as are the Po-
litical necessities of the party in the South,
the Spy says it seems almost impossible to
carry on the campaign, and it adds;
"The republican party, to insure success,
to compel and maintain peace, must have the
ten unrepresented States reconstructed and
brought back in time to vote for their candi-
date next November. Failing in this the
country may as well squarely look at the issue
which then sternly arises in its path-that OF
meeting an internecine struggle consequent
upon the refusal to count the vote OF the
Southern democracy, which will be surely
cast for the party's nominee, whoever 1t may
| be. OF course the fortieth Congress will
count the vote Of no State that is not repre-
seuted."
On this the New York Times (rep) re-
marks:
"This programme is not inviting. The
radicals are determined, it seems, not to adj
! NIT the ten Southern States, unless they are
SO reconstructed as to secure their votes for
the radical candidate; and if they are not
readmitted Congress will not count their cleo
tora votes at all, as they will certainly be cast
for tho democratic nominee. This struggle
has become exclusively one for party success,
and it is openly avowed that measures will be
resorted to for the sake of victory which may
plunge the country afresh into civil war
There certainly is virtue and strength enough
in the people to save the country from such a
| peril.

Gossip About the New District Com.
manders,

The following special telegram to the Phil
adelphia Lco7ge, is of interest:
It's not expected that General Meade will
give himself over to the interests of any
party, and certainly no understanding of any
kind has been entered into between that off,
Ger and the President as to the course that shall
be pursued in the conduct of affairs in the
Third District. [ have it from unquestiona-
BILE authority that General Meade is selected
to succeed Gen. Pope simply upon the belief
that the former will execute the reconstruc-
ton laws to the letter, and at the SAME time in
such manner as to give to none just cause
for complaint of tyrannicai or partial exercise
of the almost unlimited powers conferred up
on district commanders. Gen. Ord not long
since requested that he be relieved from COM
mand OF the Fourth District, and on that ac-
count aud in the hope that new officer in
charge of that district might possibly avoid
some of the errors committed by the late
commander and govern the district IN a more
consistent and symmetrical manner than 1t has
hitherto been managed, Ord was relieved. It
was shown satisfactorily to the President that
General Wager SwayHe has been making use
Of his official position in Alabama for his
(Swnyne's) own political advancement, and
therefore the order that he be relieved from
duty in that State and join his regiment in
Nashville

REvIvALs AMONG THE FREEDMEN
Within the past month there has been great
religious awakening among the colored popu-
lation of this town and neighborhood. Many
have protested to find peace in believing, and
numbers have declared their purpose to for
sake sin and lead new life. 1t is greatly
to be hoped that these evidences ola change
may be genuine, and that these declarations
of the colored people may have the support
of divine grace. On Sunday last nineteen of
the new converts received the benefits of the
ordinance of baptism in Evett's Run, about
quarter of mile from town. The occasion
drew together quite crowd, composed of
white aud black, to witness the solemn cere-
monies.

MORE CHANGES.

The Presidential term Of Mr.. johnson Is
waning, but he seems determined to make
himself known and felt in the time that IS
left him. Influenced by sense of justice to
the suffering people of the South, and ami
mated By desire to afford them relief from
the worst forms of dcspotism, he has removed
Generals Pope and Ord from their positions
as District Commanders, under the recon-
struction measures adopted by the Rump
Congress last spring. We hail this action of
the Presidents as "a stiffening of the Execu-
tive backbone, and regard il rs one more
step in the direction of restoring constitu-
tional government. 1t is true the system is
not changed, which binds ten States to mil
itary despotism, but the brutal executors of
an unconstitutional measure, and the uphold
ers of the radical policy of reconstruction,
are given to understand that the era OF ty-
ranpy is past, and that henceforth the voice
of the people is'to have its influence in shap-
ing the destinies of the country.
In his original selection of District Com
maDders, Mr.. johnson was exceedingly un-
fortunate, and in the briefspace of six months
he has found it necessary to remove four out
of FIVE of his appointees, and it is rumored
that the head of the fifth is trembling i'll the
balance. The pomposity of Sheridan, Sick
les, Pope and Ord, has been we'll rebuked,
and their arrogant pretensions snuFed out
For these removals the President is entitled
to the hearty thanks, not only of the people
of. the South, but also of those of the North
who entertain the opinion that the South still
constitutes a portion of the United States.
1t is highly probable that a howl will be
set up in Congress over the removal Of Pope
and Ord, but sustained by the intelligence
and patriotism of the people, and supported
by consciousness of right, the President
may we'll defy their howlings, and proceed
with his work Of restoring the government
and rcbuking despotism.

OLD MAN GRANT SOUNDS HIS Boy
"ULYss."-A Washington correspondent of
Western paper says: The generals father
came to town the other day and stopped with
"Ulyss," as he calls his boy, whom he found
seated at his Preside, smoking, of course, and
surrounded by members of his private and
military family. About the first thing the
old gentleman did after shedding his overcoat,
was to come at his unpumpable offspring with,
"Ulyss are you in favor of niger suffrage ?"
No response, only vigorous puffs. Il say,
Ulyss, are you in favor of niger suffrage ?'
"What do you think of it ?" inquired the
general, with Yankee shrewdness The old
one stated his position; he's for an intelli-
gence qualification; and so on, "Well, now,
Ulyss, I've answered your question, want
you to answer mine: care you in fovor of
niger suffrage? If you are, you'll get beat
all hollow, with all your popularity, for Ohio
went fifty thousand against it, and if she was
to vote again on it to- morrow, she'd go hum
dred thousand the same way" 81 haven't
talked politics much for the last FIVE or six
years." was the reply of Ulysses the Silent.
At last accounts the old gentleman was in
doubt as to the position of "Ulyss" on negro
suffrage.

RENTS IN CHARLEsToHNy--M0y day is
less than three months off, and not few of
the citizens of the town are much exercised
over the ezorbitant prices at which houses
are being rented. Never before, within our
recollection, has there been such an cutlery,
and every shanty within the corporate limits,
and adjacent thereto, has a score of applicants
for its occupancy. Property holders are Ia
king advantage of this demand, and are send
ing up rents higher than the flight of the
eagle The interests and future prosperity
of the town are disregarded and the agony
is piled on to the great discontinue of those
who do not happen to have tenements of their
own. In some cases houses are renting for
nearly as much as it cost to build them, and
80 per cent on the valuation of property is
the lowest figure that will receive pclsidera-
ton from those who have the good fortune to
own property. This would all be we'll enough
if there was sufficient activity in business to
justify such unreasonable rents, but under
the present depressed condition of our peo-
pie, it is simply extortion, and an extortion
that ought to be rebuked. But the question
hero arises, how is it to be done? It may be
too late to remedy the matter for this year,
but the renters of the town, by concert of
action, have it in their power to control it
hereafter. Let them form an association, and
pledge themselves not to yield to this avari-
cious disposition of property owners, and re-
solve to pay no more than just equivalent
for the use of the houses they occupy the
amount to be paid in rent not to exceed if
teen per cent. upon fair valuation of pro-
perty. we dislike to make any suggestion
that has the appearance of arraying the ten.
ant against the landlord, but the time has
come when it is our duty to speak out We
talk great deal about the Yankee and his
love for the Almighty Dollar, but the present
season has developed the fact that VS. have
Shylocks in our midst who would put to

HELP FOR THE SOUTH The suffering
condition of the afflicted and sorrow stricken
people of the South, again appeals to the
charity of those who have plenty, and to
spare. We have been shown private letter
from a lady in Baltimore to a-lady of this
town, in which the announcements is made
that the noble women of that city are making
preparations for holding fair to commence
on the 18th of this month. and continue up
to the 10th, and soliciting the cooperation of
the ladies here in procuring such articles as
may be proftably disposed of. The writer of
the letter is to have charge of one of the lunch
tables, and any contributions our citizens may
feel disposed to make in the way of fowls,
hams, pigs, &C., may be left at the store of
TRUssELL & Co. during the present week
We hardly think it necessary to make a fur

The Great Harper's Ferry Suit.

Some mouths ago, Mr. Faulkner the coun>
sci Of Jacob B. Brown, Of Jefferson county,
Instituted an action of ejectment in the Cir
cult Court of Jefferson county, before Judge
Hall, against Daniel j. Young, to recover
some twenty odd acres of land. embracing all
the valuable water power at Harper's Ferry
Mr.. Brown claims under patent from the
Commonwealth of Virginia, and denies that
the title of tue United States extends to the
land in controversy. The property in dispute
is estimated to be worth at least million of
dollars. Daniel j. Young the defendant and
the ordnance officer in charge Of the interests
of the United States at uarper's Ferry, has
twice moved the Court to dismiss the case as
to him. upon the ground, that he had not
such an interest and possession of the property
as would authorize an action of ejcctment
against him. But Judge Hall has twice over
ruled that motion. \ few days ago 'crit Of
certeriori awarded by Chief Justice Chase,
was served upon Judge Hall, restraining him
from further proceedings in his court and
ordering that all the original papers in the
cause be removed before the Circuit Court of
the United States for the District of West
Virginia, held at Parkersburg The right Of
Chief Justice Chase to enforce obedience to
the lcrit Of certeriori is not we understand,
discussion may arise before the next Jefferson
County Court upon the question of the juris-
diction Of the State and Federal Courts over
the subject in controversy onion.
THE above is but another sad illustration
Of the evil and ominous times upon which we
have fallen! The idea of Chief Justice of
the United States arbitrarily assuming the
Preroga;ivc Of rendering the jurisdiction OF
our courts, i'll State acknowledged to be
loyal, in cause already docketted upon its
roll and between its own citizens, nugatory,
Is unprecedented in our jurisprudence. 1t
is not our province to speak as to the merits
Of the subject matter at issue, but this bold
assumption of Federal authority authorized
or not, evidences a weakness Of its cause and
a pre- determined purpose to accomplish by
force, if possible, what cannot be accomplish
cd by legal, legitimate and lawful investiga-
ton. Fhc article above quoted, pertinently
says, it remains to be seen whether Judge
Hall will respond to the demand which has
been made, and we have faith enough to be-
-lievc that he has too much regard for the
rights of his State and the immunitics and
sanctities of its courts, so to do.
