SPIRIT OF THE AGE.
Thursday, Oct. 19, 1871.
The Late Elections.

We confess that the results of the
elections held last week have disap-
pointed us. We did suppose that the
Democracy in some ofthe States where
in elections were held would do better /;
be more successful than they were.
Then again when looking at the
other side of the question and consid-
oring the fact that the Radicals have
the inside Of the ring, all Of the federal
offices, all the money and other corrupt
appliances to be used in carrying cleo
tons, and have recent y added to their
own vote by an unlaw I'll Constitutions
al amendment the enormous negro
vote, we need not feel in the least dis
appointed in the results of these cleo
tons, but wonder how the iron hearted
Democrats done, under all Of these ad
verse obstacles, so well as they did.
But for the "nigger' vote the RcpubIi,
cans would probably not have done so
we'll as they did, to say the least.
We hope that the Democrats of the
country will not be discouraged at
these election returns, but will cheer
up and go to work. We yet believe
that victory, with proper effort, will
perch upon the standard Of our party,
and that before long too.

HAIR VIGoR.-in common with
many others we have felt a lively III
terest in the investigations which DIR.
Aver has been making to discover the
causes OF failure Of the hair, and to
provide Il remedy His researches are
said to have been much more thorough
and exhaustive than any ever made be
fore. The result is now before lis I'M
der the name Of Ayers HAIR NIGoR.
We have given it a trial, and with full
satisfaction. 1t equals our most favor
able anticipations Our gray hairs
have disappeared, or resumed their
original color; and a visible crop of
soft, silken hair has started on part Of
the scalp which was entirely bald.

The Radicals do not know how
to dispose Of the ugly undeniable fact
that the carpet baggers and other Re
publican officers have assessed upon
the Southern or reconstructed States
debts which in the aggregate amount
to the enormous sum Of S227,000,0o0
and probably more. They try ''to rise
and explain" why it is so, and feel con-
fdent that they will be able to make
out clear case in their favor. That
is, they will be able to clear the skirts
Of the carpet baggers and other off
Gals there from the guilt of purloping
the missing funds. TheeXplanation Of
this is, that the new Governments have
been obliged to replace moneys belong
ing to the sinking, university, and
school funds which had been lost
through being invested in rebel Sect
rites. This is about the weakest eff
fort to whitewash fraud that has vet
been attempted. In the expressive
language Of Shakespeare, it is "too
thin"

ORPHANS CONCERT. -The concert to
be given next Saturday evening by thirty
children from the Orphans Home, Laud-

teresting affair. We may raise monu-
ments to the Confederate dead, but what

allow their children to suffer? The
trustees Of the Home have purchased
300 acres Of land for boys to work, and
on the 9th of last month the corner
stone of fine brick building was laid
by the Grand Master of the Masonic or
der Of Mississippi. A Tennessee boy is
