No GENERAL AMNEsTY.-A Wash;n gton
telegram announces that not half dozen
Republican Senators would vote for Gen
eral Amnesty bill, and that there is sim
liar unanimity in the House against it. It
is also stated with pnsitiveness that Grant
viii not recommend the passage of such a
bill. 1t is so manifest that the whole action
of Congress and of Grants administration is
controlled by the single purpose of continu-
ing power in the hands of those who now
possess it. that no one can wonder that an
immense number of whites are to be kept
from the polls, while the ballot-box is thrown
open to every negro in the land. Grant and
the Radical Congressman are convinced that
fair election would 2nt an end to their
misrule. and they do not intend to retire
until they have stolen the last acre of the
public lands. and made away with all the
plunder of every description that they can
lay their hands upon. When there is no.
thing left to steal we may perchance have
restrictions removed. and be allowed to see
free and fair elections again throughout the
county. Meantime let ex-rebels submit to
negro rule, and Northern taxpayers submit
to being mercilesslv hreced without murmur-
ing.-L1ncGster InteIigencer.

RELIGIOUS WAR IN TURKEY-A cable
dispatch under date of Coustantinople, June
1st, says fearful war of religious intol-
erance has broken out in the province of
Roumelia. metropolitan province of the
Turkish Empire. in the South of Europe
For some time the native Christians have
manifested spirit of fearful vindictiveness
against the Jewish population, who have en-
deavored in vain to obtain from the govern
ment some protection against outrage and
extortion. 4 secret movement has been in
organization for some time for the extermi>
nation of the inoffensive Jews.
The deep and deldly hatred of the bigotod
populace had only been slumbering, and
waiting vent for its fury. On Sunday last,
by precoucerted signal, the Christian pop
ulace rose, and a fearful work of butchery
was inau gurated. At an early hour all the
houses of the Jews were invaded. and the
occupants who were unable TO escape. were
massacred in cold blood The fleeing Israel
ties We're pursued through town by an armed
mob and murdered, wherever caught. men,
women and children. The fury of the pop
ulace was infamed with religious bigotry
and only exhausted itself for want of vic
tins. In all Of the principal towns the
fearful work Of butchery prevailed. and
thousands of men, women and children of
the repugnant class were butchered The
work of slaughter still goes on in the inte-
ror, and nothing has been heard yet Of any
movement by the authorities to suppress it.
The reigning Prince is absent from the pro-
vlnces and advantage was taken of this to
complete the determination Of all the Jews
from the province. Prince Charles is hur-
rying home, and energetic measures will at
once be taken by the Sultan TO suppress this
religious emeute. Meanwhile the fury Of
the mob continues unabated in finding fresh
victims to glut its insatiate frenzy.

THE REAsoN.-The reason why Barrett's
Vegetable Hair Restorative has . large sale
and is more popular than any other, is sim.
ply because it is the best
The reasons it is the best are:
1t is thorough in its action upon Gray OF
Faded Hair.
1t is sure TO restore the hair TO its youth
full beauty, producing one distinct shade,
while others leave the hair in many varied
colors.
When restored, the color is made fast
and the hair does not fade into its former
discolored appearance.
1t promotes growth when others fail to
produce q single hair
1t acts directly upon the roots and not as
a dye
1t cures all diseases Of the scalp and re,
moves dandruff and HAIR caters.
1t is highly perfumed, free from all dirty
and gummy substances, and does not stain
the scalp or soil the finest fabric.
1t thoroughly cleanses the scalp of all
dirt, dandruff, and other extraneous sub
stances.
1t causes the hair to grow thick, luIurien,
and glossy.
1t prevents Badness and premature
decay.
The ingredients used in this preparation
are the very best that can be found and are as
harmless as water.
Barrett took the first premium q silve,
medall over all competitors, at Nashua
New Hampshire, in September. 1856.
These are the reasons why Barre,t's is the
best Hair Preparation in the world, al
we'll as the reasons why every one should
use Barrett's in preference to all others

SHovIEa THE QUEER.-On Saturday last,
III Davenport, was illustrated how the whirli-
gig of time brings in its revenges on those
who, ever so successfully, break the law. Last
Summer there was reason to believe that
persons engaged in passing counterfeit mon.
ey resided in Davenport At last it was
traced directly to carpenter by the name
of Shannon, who had an interest 10 butch.
or shop on Perry street above Third. No
evidence directly eliminating him could be
found however. On Saturday last, however,
the crime was fixed on him with damuing
certainty. He passed two $40 bills on q
farmer named Clark, who brought them
back for redemption in doing which Shan
mons partner, Treffts, gave him 81 in coun-
terfeit money among the change. A com
plant was IN ade, and Shannon, his son. and
his partner Treffts were arrested, and had
an examination. They were held in $500
each. Trefts and the elder Shannon, OBJ.
tanned bail, and the boy was released on his
own recognizance. Shannon, Sr. was no
sooner released, than he left town, leaving
his bondsman in the lurch. The bail be
coming uneasy, Treffts was rearres.ed and
confined in jail, as was also young Shannon.
Both of these had prepared to leave also.
1t now appears that Shannon, Sr, had served
term IN the States Prison in New York for
Sountefie'ting, and one in Michigan for
handling stolen goods. The boy Shannon

How IT HAPPEsED.-Somep people thought
that the first ten cars of Cleveland coal
which was brought TO this city, a few days
ago, should have been sold for less than
thirteen cents per bushel-for, say twelve
cents, the price at which the Coal Valley
coal was selling for at that time They
didn't know that it cost the parties handling
it just thirteen cents per bushel; and that,
further, those ten car loads were no. intended
for this market at all, but for the frosty
Davenporters, who would have grabbed at
it for an advance on thirteen cents-say
fourteen or fifteen cents and thus allowed
the parties handling it fair profit. Now
this is how it came about. The ferry WAS
running all serenely on the day of its ar
rival, and the next morning would have seen
teams transporting this coal to Davenport
ten car loads of it, of fine quality and cheap
but Jack Frost vetoed the project, and
hustled the ferry boat into winter quarters at
four o'clock the next morning, and none too
soon, either, as the ice spanned the river at
sunrise, and Captain Robinson had
ten carloads of coal for the Rock
Island market at cost-"thirteen cents per
bushei, while Davenport never knew how
near it came to having cheap coal fresh
from the Henry county minea.
