MRS. ALIENS
Hair Restorer& Zylobalsamum
Are 80 uniformly grateful and benef-
cial, that they are with justice called
the natural strengtlreners Of the human
hair. They are two entirely separate
and distinct preparations, not to be used
together at one time.
Mrs. Aliens Hair Restorer
Never fails to satisfy tho most refined
and cultivated. Aguarantee goes with
every bottle, that it will quicklyrestore
gray or white hair to its original youth
full beauty, gloss and color; after its
use a few times the hair will grow
thicker and stronger. 1t will stop its
falling and induce healthy and luxu-
RANT growth. 1t is an exquisite hair
dressing, agreeable, harmless and
healthy. Entirely different from most
other preparations for the hair, itscom-
position and ingredients arc nourishihg,
giving life and vigor to the Roots.
Mrs. Allen" ZylobaisaEnUaa
This exquisite preparation is free
from any sediment, and is q toilet
treasure. The urgent want of simple
Hair Dressing, for the youth of both
sexes, first induced the manufacture
of the Zylobalsamum, and the sale of it
is perfectly immense, not only in this
country, but in Europe.
EXTRACTS FROM A FEW LETTERS.
"Your Zylobalsamum is used BY every, nes.-
bcr, young and old, Of our family, and We con-
slider it invaluable. Should any gray hsirs
appear, We shall try your Hair Restorer. which
we hear very highly spoken Of"
"Father and mother use your Hair Restorer,s
and are delighted With it. 1t soon restored their
gray locks to their youthful color, but daughters
and son still find in the Zyiobaisanum all their
hair requires"
From tie Priseipal o sse Of oar large Female
Semtnaries: "Your Zylob.lsamur has been
used for MANY ysars by myself and family, and is
the favorits among our young ladies'"

To our Friends In the Country.

The stride which THE NEWS has made
in circulation, especially in the country,
within the last twelve months, encourage
us to redouble our efforts to make it such
paper as everybody wants to read, and ayisi-
tor which shall he welcomed in every house
hold in the State. There is no good reason
why live Charleston newspaper, which
keeps pace with the progress and spirit OF
the day, and is published at a price which
places it within the reach Of all, should not,
with proper mail facilities, attain circn-
lation of Thirty Thousand copies; and we
can promise that no exertions or enter
prise shall be wanting on our part to make
the regular edition Of this journal approx
mate to that figure.
AS peculiarly attractive inducement to
the planters Of the State to become sub
scribers to THE News before the expiration
of the present year, we have arranged with
Messrs. Walker, Evans & Cogswell, the
publishers Of the Rural Carolnfan, to sup
ply that new and superb agricultural maga-
CINE, together with THE NEWS, at the fol-
lowing very low rates:
THE DAILY NEWS and the Rural Carroll
nian, one year, for six dollars and fifty
cents.
THE TR1-WEEKLY News and the Rval
Carolinian, one year, for four dollars.
Subscriptions to the two publications may
be sent either to the proprietors OF THE
NEWS, or to the proprietors Of the Rural
Carolinian. But parties desiring to avail
themselves of this offer must do so before
the first Of January next, as the arrange
ment will not be extended beyond that
period.
When these rates are contrasted with
those of the Charleston papers before the
war, when the yearly price OF a daily was
ten dollars. and of q tri-weekly five dollars,
il, gold orr equivalent, we think we may
fairly clairI that THE NEWS has labored to
some purp pose in the diffusion Of intelligence
among the people at prices suited to the
changed aspect of the times.

The Jury Law.

Under the first section of can act to
s.amend all act to regulate the manner OF
drawing jurors" approved March %, 1862
the completed list OF jurors must be SUCH
that ''the number OF names OF white voters
'thereon shall bear, to the number OF names
s'of colored voters, as near as may be, the
s.same proportion as the whole number OF
..wbite voters bears to the whole number of
scolored voters in the township, city or
s.county as the case may be-" Judge
Thomas, in his charge to the Grand Jury OF
Lancaster County, on Monday last, discussed
the jury law of 1869, in connection with the
preceding law on the same subject. BY
the Jury law of 1868, list of persons well
qualified to serve as jurors "being persons
"of good moral character, OF sound judg-
"ment and free from all legal exceptions, ="
must he prepared, which list shall consist Oh
no. iess than one in ten nor more than one
in five of the voters in the town or county,
But when this has been done and the pest
men are selected, the law Of 1869 comes ln'
requiring that the proportion OF whites ana
blacks on the jury shall be in the ratio
of the white and black voters The State
Constitution proclaims that there shall be
.'no.s dissemination on account OF race or
"coior." Therefore, in the words OF Judge
Thomas: =
sIf.from the second list name of man is
stricken because of his color, and in the third
or revised list, one is inserted on account o.
his color, it is contrary to the constitution.
The names of the best men must stand, and
they must go into the jury-box without any
regard to their color or race"
Judge Thomas summed up the question in
these words:
'You will, therefore, gentlemen, see to 1t
that your next jury be selected from the best
men in your county, irrespective ofrace or color.
As near as may be,' comply with the law oil
1869; but strike no mans name from the second
list because he is white or black, to put an In
ferior man in his place. The court cannot get
along without good and efficient officers, and
If you desire to see justice meted out, you
must have such o jury as the act OF 1868 con-
templated, to assist in the decision..of the va
rious questions which occur"

brother-in-law of President Grant, and
boasted, according to Fisk, of 1.-The powerful
influence he could bring to bear in favor OF the
snecp)ation." 1--WE expected him to
carry us through" says Fisk, 'but he didn't. !,
That is the head and tail of the whole ailair.
To all these statements, Mr.. Corbin and MS
friends put in a general denial, and as Coro,h
is about to take legal proceedings against FISK
as we'll as those in his employ who have back
ed up his statements with affdavits, the case
promises to be rich in developments II
should ever come to trial. The assumption
"a that boldness of the operators in 'bulling
oo,d could only have arisen from an intimate
knowledge of the intentions oil the treasury

Horace Greeley and the Virginia sena-
torship.

The movement, half jest and half earnest,
on the part OF certain Virginians to place
Horace Greeley in nomination for United
States senator from the Old Dominion, has
for some weeks exposed the white-coated
philosopher to a running fire Of keen and un-
merciful satire from Dana, Of the New York
Sun, and other envious journalists Mr..
Greeley for some time, deigned no reply to
the daily thrusts Of his relentless antagon-
lists; but in the New York Tribune OF Tues
day breaks silence in this wise:
"The editor of the Tribune has endured In
perfect silence the newspaper discussion of his
fitness to be chosen senator of the United
States from the State of Virginia. No Indian
at the stake ever underwent torture with more
unfinching calmness. Not even speculations
as to his motives for seeking such position,
and the propriety or impropriety Of his doing
so, could extort word from his lips. But he
has recently received personal advices which
assure him that the movement to elect him as
aforesaid, whether formidable or not, Is thor
oughly earnest, and impeled by motives sal%Sh l%ShRi6s
gratefully reciprocates; and, as the Legisla-
ture Of Virginia meets to-day, he feels bound
in candor to state that he could not accept the
exalted trust in question, even though it were
unanimously rendered. His friends will under
stand that this decision is irrevocable.
Sand now, If the gentlemen of the press will
forbear to name him as candidate for Office
for few months or years-the longer the bet
ter-he viii be obliged to them for the cour-
tcsy, and win endeavor to reciprocate the
favor"
There is something so honest, so good
tempered and withal SO manly and vigorous
in these words OF the veteran Radical, that
they will 60 far to confirm the esteem and
respect which all Southern men have of late
years come to feel for Horace Greeley
Were Radicalism at the South champiOned
by men of his stamp, instead OF by the pack
of greedy knaves who are at once the
leeches and the vermin Of our body polite,
Democracy might not have. enjoyed its
present monopoly Of the decency and re-
spectability Of every Southern community.

How to Win.

Tr0u gyrasp WIN
ease the re6nements Of logical reasoning
1t is the broad and simple harmony which
thrills the breast of the many. From one
grand central idea the masses draw their
inspiration, and by it they achieve success.
They instinctively group and generallze their
thoughts and desires, expressing them in
times Of commotion by word, phrase, q
song. Give them leading thought, plain,
striking and ineligible, and each one will
interpret that thought according to his own
wants and desires. All that the populace
ask Of their leaders is the bold outline; the
lights and the shadows each man will fill in
for himself. They ask for the living bread
OF practical truth, and care nothing for the
dry bones Of theory and speculation.
And if it is necessary to be thus explicit
and pointed in communities controlled by
men of intelligence and experience, how
much more necessary Isl to avoid all cause
Of doubt and misunderstanding in State
where the voting majority have no other
ethical guide than the declamatory appeals
of the demagogue. When we cannot raise
to our own level the people whose co-opera-
ton we invite, it is better to go down to their
plane, and write so that he who runs may
read. And apart from the question Of men,
tai capacity, there is the certainty that many
who could understand if they would, will
not trouble themselves to follow the chain
OF argument by which we reach q conclu-
sion. They look to the symbol OF that con-
clusion. They accept it or reject it, as it
seems likely to relieve them OF an oppres-
sive burden, or to give them boon which
they crave. Whether the cry be God and
the Covenant, Liberty and Fraternity, Free
Trade and Sailors Rights, or Rally Round
the Flag, the principle is the same. The
cry which burns the lips of millions is the
utterance Of the personal hunger and thirst
OF each individual man.
These are obvious truths, and the states
men of South Carolina should be guided by
them. A year ago we were defeated be-
cause we had no battle-shoui no catching
refrain to move the poprig heart. And
when we next meet the polite al enemy it
must be with rallying cry which all can
understand-with declaration of principles
so elastic and comprehensive as to cover
the wants of the whole State. Each county
can mark out the details for itself, in conso-
nance with its particular necessity. The
candidates may be chosen according to their
strength among the people whose suflrages
they seek. For the State at large, there
should be no more than the emphatic asser-
ton that the issue is joined upon the, broad
principle of opposing Radical rule-upon the
wide platform of equal rights, equal justice,
and equal taxation

THE Georgetown Radicals promise that if
the colored people will only elect the candi-
date of the Loyal League the taxes shall be
raised so high that the lands OF the white
people will he sold. They will then be
bought up by Commissioner Leslie and dis
tributed among the freedmen. In this way
they will get possession Of the land and get
rid OF the white men. The real estate own
ers in South Carolina, the farmers and PLAN
tiers, will mark and digest this Infamous
proposition. 1t Will tell its own tale at the
next elections.
