CERTAIN of the Democratic papers have
been quick to charge President Grant with
melting the prosecutions against the War
moth officials in Louisiana and as endors-
ing the arbitrary action of the faction that
claims to be friendly with him. Will these
journals now have the manliness to retract
the SANDER when they see how prompt
and decided was the Presidents rebuke to
the Marshal ,? The truth is, no one is re-
sponsible for the course pursued in New
Orleans by so-called Republicans save the
parties implicated and we hope they will
speedily be made to feel that they have
disgraced themselves and those with whom
they claim to act.

Col. Harris put the popularity of the
question in this style:

question III Iuls eISle'
Now the Board of Trade may determine and |
resolve that the Southern Railroad shall be con-
structed under the Furguson bill; but the PEG,
pie will not go with them. voted for the Dill
myself; but you can not find man-and say
it with all due Difference to a friend OF mine,
who is one Of the Trustees, Mr.. Blshop-to-day
who is in favor of that bill, who has not got some
interest in it. If you put it to the vote of the
people to-day you will get beaten out OF your
boots. Applause from the rear.J
The proposition to postpone the build
ing of the road was then submitted and
defeated by the emphatic vote of Al to II.
The original resolutions pledging to the
Trustees in building the road, and the CO.
Cperation of the Board of Trade was
then adopted. 1t is very evident from
this vote that the progressive portion OF
the business men of Cincinnati favor the
speedy completion of the Chattanooga
road, but there seems to be enough oppo-
sition to it to seriously hinder the work
if that opposition proves stubborn.
The Senate Retrenchment committee is
now in session in New York city. Hav-
ing been created to investigate abuses al
legged by certain journalists to exist in the
Custom House, it has very naturally gone
to these jealous accusers for information.
Horace Greeley in the Tribune was the
loudest to proclaim extraordinary corrup-
tionbut when placed onthe witness stand he
very clearly discloses that the information
is based entirely on gencruL runlor and
hearsey. Itnot only appears that he has
no reliable information of his own, but
that most of his hearsay is false. Thus he
accused General Ketchum and other Gus
tom house officials with debating to Messrs,
Eastman and Goring. and others of the
Albany Legislature how they should vote
| for Speaker, and gave as his authority
statements made to him by those gentle
men; but when the Assembly men are put
on the stand, they swear they never told
Mr.. Greedy they were so influenced, and
| that in fact Gen. Ketchum never indicated
to them any preference for speaker.
| Other witnesses examined in reference
| to alleged corruptions testified that they
were no worse now than they were under
previous administrations. Thus Mr.. Red
mond, an old importer, testified that he
had been importing goods for forty year,
and that the practice of extra charges un
der what is known as the General Order
business is "quite an old practice do no
know when it commenced"
He testified further that he knew of II
corruption in the Custom House ; knew
nothing of giving presents or brides. Mr.
r. C. Collins testified that he imported
$3.50, 900 worth of teas annually and said
II have never had any difficulty whatever
never had any distractions thrown in m.
way and never been wronged in any wa.
whatever - ....rr
Most of the testimony thus far, of actua
corruption is based upon "rumor' and cal
be traced to removed and disappointed OF
flee holders. So much up to date for tn
boosted charges that were to expose col
ruptions ''rivalling Tammany."

gloss and freshness of yoath. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and badness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are de- stroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed; but such as remain can be saved by this application, and stimu- lated into activity, so that a new growth of hair is produced. Instead of fouling the hair with Q 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. The restoration of vitality it gives to the scalp arrests and prevents the forma- tion of dandruff, which is often so un- cleanly and offensive. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and inju- rious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy lustre, and . grateful perfume.
