The SENATE ARRAIdNRD. The New

OF the United States Senate since the
beginning of the present session, show.
ing that it has accomplished next to no.
thing of it's appointed work, and con-
clndes with the just and forcible criti-
oism that sin addition to this record Of
idleness and neglect, the Senate has, SD
far, refused to investigate seriouo
charges made against several OF its own
members. If the reports of corruption
and improper official conduct on the
part Of Senators Clayton, Caldwell and
Pomeroy are true, those men ought not
to hold their seats q day longer. II they
are not true, the Senate ought to assert
its dignity by disrroving them. Four
months have been spent by the United
States Sennte in the attempt to drive the
reformers out Of the Republican party,
to hide hagrant abuses and to postpone
legislation until after the national can
vass. The people are still waiting impa-
tiently for somo measure OF relief from
unjust taxation, for more generous am
nesty Legislation, and for meaps to pro-
mote economy ,and honesty in tho civil

SOUTHERN SECURITIES The New York
Herald, of Friday. says:
The Southern State bonds were fairly
active for the North and South Caroli-
mas, the Tenncssees, the Virginias and
the Missouris. The North Carolnas
were exceptionally steady, and even firm,
but the others were heavy, and, in some
instances. weak. The Virginia deferred
bonds dropped to lGl9 on tho action Of
the Legislature in repudiating them, al
though the bill has not been signed by
the Governor, and may yet be defeated.
Tho South Caroliuas were lower all
around, the old bonds falling off on the
belief :hat with the validating law there

their favor as against tho new bonds, so

The New York Times says: "The rate
at which this country has reduced both
its debt and it's taxation is simply incom-
prehensible to foreign fnanciers." The
rate at which debt and taxation accumu-
lated in this country has been incompre-
hensible to native fnanciers-and the
debt, after MI the boosted reduction, is
still incomprehensible, and taxes are still
incomprehensible. and the thioving OF

bio. We can give foreigners any amount

A SAD FALLING OUr.-It is indeed sad
falling out when, after years of the closest
intimacy, tho hair parts company with the

ton may be easily prevented and the twain
more closely united than ever by timely and
systamatic use OF LyoS's KATuAIRoN, the most
potent inyigorant OF the hair aud promoter Of
its growth and beauty known to modern phar-
macy. 1t completely obviates the dry and
parched condition OF the roots OF the hair,
which is preliminary to it's coming out, by
supplying the precise degree OF moisture re-
qusite to its preservation in healthy state.
1t is the only true dissolvent and evaporant CT

whose presence is injurious to the hair: AS q
beautiitr OF the hair, the Kathairon has no

the hair, but improves it's quality imme ediate-

SEARCHING Our THE WEAK POINTS =
A Herald Washington despatch Of Mon
day says that, since the arrival of Rear
Admiral Inglefeld in this country, six
weeks ago, as naval attachee to The Bri.
tish Legation at Washington, he has
been inquiring ininutely and thoroughly
into our naval and military condition.
In this he has had every facility from
our Government. He has already in
spected the defences of New York and
along the Now England coast. and was
lately ordered by Minister Thornton to
visit New Orleans, to inspect the de-
fences Of that and other Southern ports.

The Cenneoticat ELECTION.

Tho Connecticat Election.
The next move On the political chess.
board. which will have a:hearing on the
Presidential election, sssfhe State. cleo,
ton in Connecticut. tNew Hampshire
was carried by the Regnblicaps. and the
result had effects which are not, We
think, to be lamented. It is considere d
as determining Grants nomination, and
thus. by destroying the hopes of the
liberal Republicans OF defeating him at
Philadelphia. causing them to turn with
greater unanimity and earnestness to the
independent Cincinnati convention, as
affording the only opportunity of accom-
plishing their purposes OF reform. On
the other hand, the loss of New Hamp-
shire opened the eyes, of the Democratic
party to the hopelessness of making O
straight-out opposition to Grant ON
purely Democratic issues, and inclines
them, with but little diversity OF opinion,
to give their support to the liberal Re-
publicans, as the best thing left for them
to do in this canvass, atleast. Now comes
Connecticut, and the question arises,
how will that State. going Democratic or
Republican, change the status of affairs
in relation to Grant and the Presidency
The reform Republicans of that State
seem to be wavering as to the best course
for them to pursue-whether to oom-
mcnce the war upon Grant at once, by
giving tho State to the Democrats. or
whether to vote with the Grant Republi-
cans, and thus save the State to the
party. 1t is feared, beside the distaste
of many to defeat the party, that sue.
cess in Connecticut may 80 far encourage
the Democrats as to induce them to en-
ter the canvass with their own ticket,
and thus neutralize the effort for reform
within their own ranks.
In our judgment, their fear on this
latter score is without much, if any,
foundation. It is generally agreed. by
the Democratic press OF the country,
that no party fight will be made, so long,
at least, as the liberal Republican move
ment gives promise of reform and Of
success. Victory in Connecticut. gained,
too, by the assistance or neutrality of
anti Grant Republicans, will not change
the Democratic mind on this point; and
what the reform Republicans Of Conneo
ticut should beet consider, is the effect
which Grant victory in that State will
have upon their own ranks. New Hamp
shire has insured Grants denomination
at Philadelphia. Connecticut will only
increase his chances for reelection by
casting damper upon the Republican
opposition. There is great desire will
men without earnest and settled convic
tions to be on the winning side, and ,
promising start for Grant will do NOR.
to weaken the opposition than anythin.
else. We trust the anti-Grant Republi
cans OF the nutmeg State may conclude
to follow the wisest course, which will
be to keep from the polls at the State
election and concentrate their powers
against Grant.

The South FOR sErynEns.-The Nash

The South FOR SETTLERS. Nash
Vile Union and American says:
The present winter has written O tale
OF unparalleled. horror on the pages of
Western history AS yet. however, not
one-half the story Of suffering from ter
rible frosts. and damage from the blind
ing snow storms, hds met the public eye.
Snow has been piled house-high in many
localities, and men, women and children
frozen while endedvoring to obtain food
and fuel. In many cases parties were
ovsrtaken in the open air and killed by
the blighting embraces of the North
wind; in others, whole families died by
their own freless henrthstonos, ooI@
hungry and alone. These are some of
the incidents which have marked tie
winter in 1872 in the West.
More eloquent arguments could not be
adduced to attract settlers to the South
than here presented. And if the South
had any sort of fair show against tho
lies and misrepresentation of partisan
hate and deviltry, and Western land
rings, immigration would not long con-
tinue to flow as it does into the region
where all these horrors arc inevitable
during the winter months. Referring to
the same matter, the Chronicle and Se,Ki
net we'll says:
Although the winter has been severe
here. as everywhere, the most severe in
many years. there hnn not been day
When work could not be done with com
Tort. in doors or out. No human being
has been frozen to death, nor any live
stock that was worth the poorest shelter
ing died from exposure. All farm stock
has been at large every day, and not
even q calf has been Injured by cold, in
cases where starvation and neglect have
been added to tho incienent season.
In the South the farmer can work
every day in the year, instead OF lying
idle two to four months on account of
snow and frozen ground, as he must do
North and West. In the most inclement
seasons ever known snow is O rarity in
this latitude. and in parts Of Goorgia
not seen once in twenty years, and is
gone by tho time it is seen. The soil
never freezes more than au inch or two
in depth. and thore are no destructive
freshets in our streams beyond the tenn
porary floods caused by rain-no cumu-
lative floods from, melting snow in the
spring.

THH LowREY GANG a-RgpoRrEp Snoor-
ING OF THE HERALD CoRREspoNDENr.-
We learn from parties who arrived on
the Wilmington, Charlotte and Ruther.
ford Railroad. yesterday afternoon, that
Henderson, the Herald correspondent,
went to Henry Berry Lowrey's house,
on Friday night, and that soon after en-
tering. Stephen Lowrey and Andrew
Strong also walked in, when one of them
spoke to Henderson in peremptory
manner and ordered him to get up and
go with them. Henderson, knowing
from the way that lie was addressed that
something WAS wrong asked the priyi-
lege Of sending message by Horny
Berry Lowrey's wife, which was granted,
after which the outlaws, with Hender-
son, started in the direction of the
swamp. Lowrey's wife met the train at
Moss Neck yesterday morning. and in
formed gentleman of the above facts,
saying that it was Henderson's request
that they should be made known, with
the additional information that if he had
not returned by thnt time, it might be
taken for granted that something was
wrong. In answer to al inquiry, Low
rey's vito stated that the outlaws ap.
peared to be in nn i'll hnmor when they
took Henderson off. and that they spoke
very abruptly to him. In reply to u
question if her husband was dead. she
answered he was not. but said she had
not seen him for live weeks. She was
also questioned as to the fato of Boss
Strong, when sho replied that che WIS
not dead, but might as we'll be, ns he
would never recover from his wonnd in

1t was reported on the streets, yestcr.
day evening. that Henderson had been
shot by the outlaws, but we are confident
that no intelligence has as yet been re
ceived. beyond what is above stated, to
warrant the conclusion.
