;LRWlessness in Mississippi.
This is a Washington dispatch to thu
Western papers of Monday:

This is Washington dispatch to the
Western papers of Monday:
General Emory has sent to the War De-
partment letter to Lieutenant and Aid
de-Camp King, dated New Orleans, March
6, saving that great lawlessness exists
throughout the entire State of Mississippi,
but it can I all be ascribed to the ku-klux
organization. The trial of several promi-
nent members Of the gang, and the arrest
OF a large party from the vicinity OF
COrinth and their confinement in the post
guard-house at Holly Springs, has done
much toward their general disarmament;
nevertheless there is bitter and resenttul
spirit in every portion Of the State against
the federal government: and there can be
no doubt OF the fact that when unsup-
ported by the regular troops the authori-
ties are detied, and their lives threatened
by the desperadOes whom they are con-
stantly called on to arrest. Messrs. Pierce
and Shaughnessy, United States marshal-
for the Northern and Southern districts of
Mississippi, respec lively, aud Wiley Wells,
district attorney, are given as authority for
the statement.
General Emory, in a letter dated March
s, SAYS: Last month went to jackson TO
see Governor Powers, who had sent Inc
various communications asking for troops.
! am perfectly satisfied from that visit that
these acquisitions are well founded, and
there is a necessity for more cavalry in that
State; and always acting on the principle in
the use Of troops in civil affairs that pre-
yention is better than Intervention, l re-
specially request that l may be furnished
with one more company uf cavalry. to be
posted in Mississippi. AS a temporary ex-
pedient, have sent a company OF infantry
to Nestoba county, and Withdrawn one of
the companies Of cavalry in the northern
district Of Mississippi to post it in the south
ern district, where it is needed and strongly
requested by the United States marshal.
To avoid all legal complications about the
use of troops in making arrests and pre-
serving order, l have arranged with the
Governor of Mississippi and the United
States marshal for that district, between
whom and the Governor there is the best
understanding, that all requisitions shall
be made by the United Srates civil officers;
and feel confident that shall be able, by
a timely use of troops, to maintain order in
that State without bringing the troops into
collision with the citizens

New Political Developments.


We copy the following from the St. LOUIS
Republican:
WASHINGTON. d. c., March 3l.-Colonel
Thomas Il. Florence, editor OF Democratrc
paper here, makes the following inpor.an.
political announcement to-day whicn IS sent
Tor what il is worth: Flrst-that lnos'
formidable. deeply laid plan has been ue-
yeloped here in regard to the coming con-
test tor President. ,,;, md
Second-That many of the IeadlnS ana
influential Conservatives and Repubhcahs
have firmly united to insure the deleat VI
General Grant, and have perfected arrange
ments SO that within the next twenty oa.s
MEETINGS will be held in Boston and else
where for the purpose OF sehdlnS oeiesa.es
10 the Cincinnati convention.
Tb;rd-That Ex-Governor Curtin. OF
Pennsylvania, who will return here within
fhe next two weeks, having resigned his
mission to St. Petersburg, will be nominated
for vice president, having been in training
in France. through correspondence from the
United States, for the past three months
preparatory TO this political race.
Fourth-That Pennsylvania State Senator
Mcclure, whose election and admission to
his seat is looked upon as a death blow to
General Grants reelection, Will take the
field against the administration.
Ffith-1hat ex-Representative IN Con-
gress Moorhead, Of Pittsburg. Pennsylva-
mia. will also take the field against General
Grant.
Sixth-That the State Of Pennsylvania
will, under the circumstances, certainly
give $4,000 majority against the the re-elec-
ton of General Grant.
Seventh-That there will be but two
electoral tickets in the field, and this result
be thereby secured, as the high contracting
parties have so determined.
Senator Wilson, on being informed to-day
that the administration 'poOh-poOhed' the
New York Liberal Republican demonstra-
ton, replied, 80, yes; they 'pooh-pooh,
everything, and, if they continue, they Will
'pooh- pooh themselves into the ground l
told them" said he, ''six months ago what
was coming. and they could have avoided
the whole thing by little wisdom
The dispatch from Cincinnati which says
that a circular was issued on Friday, invit-
ing all Republicans in favor OF reform to
send delegates to Cincinnati, has been very
generally misconstrued in the East to refer
to the Liberal Republican convention there.
This is a mistake. 1t means a reform con-
vention called in Cincinnati some time ago,
and which meets at the same time as the
national Liberal Republican convention.
The leaders of the latter who are here say
it will be composed entirely of Republicans,
and they hope no Democrat will 60 there
The leaders in the Cincinnati Liberal Re-
publican convention declare tonight that
ex- Governor Curtin. Colonel Mcclure, Gen
eral Henry L. Coke and Hon. James h.
Moorhead, of Pittsburg, will form q part of
the delegation from Pennsylvania.

This is an age of inquiry and people are
beginning to realize the magnitude Of the
evil caused by the use of injurious compounds
Tor the hair, which are prepared and forced
into market, by men who are not practical
physicians, and who may not be aware Of tho
Injury they are producing, These prepara-
tions have been analysed by competent chem
lists, and shown to contain poisonous sub
stances, causing Nervousness, Headache, Par
alysis, and often fatal results.
In contrast with such injurious articles, we
call attention to the Hair Restorcr prepared
by DR.. R. Greene, Superintendent of the Bos-
ton Medical Institute, who has been sue
cessful physician in Boston for moro than o
quarter of century. DR.. Greene uses Veg
etable Remedies only, and can assure the pub

claimed for it, without possibility Of injury.

The use of this Hair Restorer for twenty
FIVE years has tested its superiority as dress
ing, and its power to preserve the hair and
scalp in healthy condition. II removes
dandrutf, prevents the hair from falling of,
preserves its natural color, restores it when
prematurely gray, renders it soft and glossy,
promotes its healthy growth, and is the best
dressing ever discovered. While other prep

Greene's Hair Restorer has sustained its good

DIVISIONS OF TIME.-As is well known,
the methods of dividing time vary in diff
ferent parts of the world. The Chinese,
who begin their day ut midnight, and end
ii on the midnight following, divide the in
terval into twelve hours, each equal to two
of ours, and known by name and partic-
ular figure. In the Turkish empire time
is reckoned by certain portions of the nat
ural day, resembling the "watches" Of the
ancient Jews and Romans. Public clocks
not being in use, these divisions Cf time
are proclaimed from the minarets. The
various ancient divisions of the day differ
ed widely from the customs OF our time.
Chaldeans, Syrans, Persans, and Indians,
be gan the day at sunrise, and divided the
d ay and night into four parts. The divi--
ion of the day into quarters was in use long
before the division into hours. 1t was on
~ after the first sun dial was brought from
Catania, in Sicily, TO Rome, that the Ro-
hours. They called the time between the
rising and setting sun the natural day ;
and the time in the twenty-fuur hours the
civil day. They began and GUIDED their
civil day at midnight, and took this prac-
tice from the ancient laws and customs,
and rites of religious use, long before they
h ad any idea of the divisions into hours.
The Greeks divided the day into twelve
Ii ours-a practice derived from tie Baby
lonians; while in Egypt the day was divid-
ed into unequal intervals of time.
