10 the Editor OF the fuOilc Leusef'
In an article in the Avalanche this
morning Comma says: 1.-THE Ger.
mans have just put forward Mr.. d.
Loewenstine, who has purchased the
support of Barbour Lewis and his clans.
Mr.. Loewenstine, with the full support
of the Radicals and negroes under
Lewis, and as a candidate of the Ger
mans, has a very fattering prospect to
be our next Tax Collector.
Now as regards " the Germans having
put forward Mr.. Loewenstine," it simply
is untrue in every sense, and has not
even the shadow of a truth for basis /;
in fact, as one may say. its all in my
eye" Whatever, if any, prospect to
be our next Tax Collector Mr.. Loew-
enstine may have, it certainly is not "as
a candidate OF the Germans" nor have
they in any way, shape or manner put
him forward" That he may have "pur-
chased the support of Barbour Lewis
and his clans" is more than probable.
In truth, we believe, as it is currently
reported, that he has paid $500 down
and is to pay $500 when elected CD to
bind the bargain.
Speaking as a German who knows
most of the Germans in this community
and their political affiliations, | can say
that the very great majority of them re-
pudiate all such connection and all such
traffic as is imputed to them by Comma. !"
The votes of Germans are not to be
bought. Each man of them will exer-
else his right to vote intelligently, and
will do so according to his convictions.
am safe in saying those convictions do
not lay on the side of Barbour Lewis
and his clans" GERMAN.

IncAL POLITICS.

There is a nest Of unclesn birds in
Memphis who seek to run the Radical
machine into power by means of the ne
gro vote and the aid of such pseudo
Democrats as will vote for the Radical
candidates from personal and pecuniary
considerations. A nice scheme has been
concocted to carry the county against
conservatism. Mr. Tim Foley, the can
didate for Trustee on the Radical ticket,
is to split the Irish vote in the First and
Second wards for. Curry, while Mr.. Curry
lends the negro vote to Mr.. Foley. The
German vote is to be detached from con-
servatism by Mr.. Geugel, or some other
German, on the Radical ticket. Mr..
Kennedy is to furnish his quota of voters
in order to make up the combination. The
American voteis to be Slapped and mined
by Mr.. Curry, the jovial Radical indi-
vidual who desires to be Sheriff. In this
delightful combination the negro vote is
the main cargo-the mixed white vote
only the ballast to be carried by the
Radical and piratical ship into port.
Since the retirement of William Mclean
from the candidacy, the Hoodlum party
has been at sea waterlogged. Its lead
ers expect to secure Mr.. McLean's in
Auence and personal popularity in order
10 aid the mongrel ticket. Is not this a
charming scheme2 1t looks well on pa
per, but will collapse on election day.
Democrats, Conservatives and Liberal
Republicans must, next Thursday give
this party its quietus, and place it in its
little bed for evermsre. Negro domino
lion in Shelby county has lost its posi-
lion, but it seems the snake has been
scotc he'd not killed"

WASHINGTON.

WAsHISGToS, July 25.-Spotted Tail,
with his delegation, had an interview
with the President, General Walker,
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and
others, yesterday morning, with regard
to the change in the location of their
agency, Spotted Tail saying he would
consult with his men who were present
and give the result to the Secretary OF
the Interior to-day. The President adj
vised change in the agency, as it would
benefit them to the extent of 100000, in
saving Of transportation, but he lett it
with them entirely to decide. Spotted
Tail said he would make one remark to
the President; it was this: 81 hear that
in few months there is to be an cleo
ton for new President. / hope you
will be successful, as you have always
been so kind to us Indians" The Pres
ident replied that whatever might be the
result, he hoped there would be no
change in the Indian policy. After the
usual hand-shaking the conference end
ed. The Indians afterwards visited the
Treasury Department.
General Ryan, the Cuban filibuster,
arrived here last evening from Key
West He denies the capturing by the
Spaniards of any part of the expedition
of the Fannie. He pronounces the ex-
petition success as far as the landing
of the troops and their conveyance into
the Interior Is concerned. He reports
General Peralta and his command safe
at the Cuban headquarters. He states
the loss of the Fannie was owing to the
stupidity Of the pilot, who ran her on
reef, from which she could not be re-
leased. After the disembarkment of the
men and cargo the Fannie was burned.
This was on the 23d of June. The Gen
eral says he has good reasons for assert
ing that two other expeditions safely
landed, and speaks in hattering terms of
the prosperity oft cause, and says the
Cuban negroes can free the Island with
out the assistance of the whites. The
200, 900 that have been liberated by the
patriots will never consent to return to
slavery.
The War Department is draped in
mourning in respect to the memory Of

MR.. GREELEY's RESPONSE.

Mr.. Greeley's reply to Senator Doolit-
tie, accepting the nomination Of the Bal
timore Convention, is most valuable
document, because it places the actions
both Of the Democratic party and Mr..
Greeley in the proper light. Mr.. Gree
ley asserts that the principles enunciated
in the Cincinnati platform are incontest-
ably Republican and emphatically Dem
ocratic, which fact he hailed as the
dawning of new era upon our distract
ed country. He insists, now that the
blacks are free, that his white country
men shall be enfranchised. New Eng.
land has no right to select for States re-
mote from aud unlike their own, persons
by whom these States shall be represent
ed in Congress. Mr.. Greeley protests
against the disfranehisement Of States
or the people, and proclaims that the
Democratic platform, which is also his
own, is a guarantee that Democracy and
Republieanism are henceforth to be one
and the same thing, viz: equal rights
regardless of creed, cline or color. The
great Liberal movement has swallowed
up old parties, and in the future new
parties will arise to contest for suprema
cy. Mr.. Greeley's letter Of acceptance
is manly. Straightforward document
worthy Of the attention Of every citizen.
How any Conservative man can repudi-
ate Greeley and support Grant is a mys-
terry, the solution of which will never
clearly appear.

TIE London Examiner has discovered
that in sixty-six municipal elections in
England out Of every 1000 women who
there enjoy equal rights with men on
the register 5l6 went to the poll, which
is but forty-eight less than the propor-
tomato number of men. And out OF
q, 946 women registered where contest
occurred, l4,4l6 voted. OF men there
were l76, 7sl on the register, and s4,O8O
at the poll. The Examiner draws this
conclusion: Making allowance for the
reluctance of old spinsters to change
their habits, and the more frequent i'll
ness of the sex, it is manifest that wo-
men, if they had the opportunity. would
exercise the franchise as freely as men.
There is an end, therefore, of the argu'
ment that women would not vote if they
had the power.

VIrALIzE THE HAIR.-Why does the
hair become harsh and dry-why does it
fall out-why does it become gray2
Simply because the life has gone out of
it. The fbers draw sustenance from
the scalp as the grass draws alimeht
from the soil, and when the supply of
nutriment is cut of in either case the
product withers and dies. AT the first
symptom of decay, therefore, the unfed
or halffed roots Of the hair should be
refreshed and reinforced by LYoSs
KArHAIEoS, the only preparation which
will nourish the illaments and keep them
in vigorous condition after they have
begun to suffer from deficiency Of their
natural stimulant. AS long as the Ka-
thairon is faithfully used, with a proper
degree of friction, morning and evening,
so long will il be impossible for the hair
to whiten or fall out from the scalp.

to the ballot-box; it is but one duty

extended to women, the mass of them
will regard it in the same light. There
are always men, of course, who make
