Che West Virginia Vieaor,.

The democrats endeavor 10 break
the force of the republican victory in West
Virginia by claiming that the Governor
elect is for Greeley. They have fired no
guns as they did over North Carolina, but
they keep back and cover the facts just the
same. Anything to beat Grant" YOU
know. Those who read the following
from the Wheeling Register, fhe leading
Greeley organ of West Virginia, which it
published just before election, will see how
the matter stands, and that we have won
an important victory;

self so distasteful TO the republicans Of his
publican district to one Of the weakest. Such
is the character of the men who have left the
republican party and enlisted in the cause Of
the democracy.
Since the publication Of the infamous letters
of Dooittle to Connatty the former has sub
sided and we hear his clarion voice no longer
shouting for reform.
The nomination in New York Of Gen. Dix
has done very much to give confidence to the
friends of the Administration. 1t is consider
Ell as the very best selection that could have
been made for the position of Governor. The
order which he issued from the u. s. Treas
nry as its Secretary in the last days of Blu
caan's administration, to shoot the first man
that hauled down the flag, rendered him IA
nous ana made his name household word.
That thrilling sentence will become one OF
the notices leading on to victory in
the empire State. Before hi, nomination
there was much solicitude as to how New
York would GO, but now uncertainty has
given place to a feeling of buoyancy. Gen.
Dix like Daniel S. Dickinson, has always
been war democrat, and one of New ork's
truest and most honorod sons. His character
and reputation are high above reproacf, and
he has snch q host of friends among the best
men in the democratic party that he cannot
fail to bring many of its leading men to his
support. Cisco the leading Banker of New
! ORR, millionaire and lifelong democrat
says that Dix must run, and run he will like
wild fire among the substantial men Of New
York
The attemp; to lug y. T. Stewart into the
camp of Greeley and Tammany has proved
abortiye. He still stands by Grant. So also
with Vanderbilt The solid men of the
country have no idea of trusting their fortunes
to the guidance of q man who makes such
haste to eat his own words and to 90 back on
the record OF lifetime as Horace Greeley.

4 Nut for the Democracy.

General Dix, the Republican nominee tor
Governor Of the State of New York, has oh
tanned a conspicuous and meritel niche in
history by his famous order issued while Sec
rotary of the Treasury, directing that III any
shoot him on the spot" His reply to Gov
ernor Seymour during the New York riots
was equally pungent, and may bear revival
at this time as a nut for the Democracy to
crack. Seymour, who was getting shaky
about results, telegraphed to the General
who was then in command Of troops on Gov
ernor's Island, asking could he take care OF
New York. General Dix replied. II can
take care of New York and you too

TALK AT THE ToILET.--Every lady's maid

their triumphant way with conquered hearts,
regard a splendid head of hair the most ell, c.
tive of all womanly destinations. The be-

glossy braids as they can g kill at sight" with
their beaming eyes. Hence in their "toilet
talk" among themselves and with their at

hair are freely canvassed, and the latest re-
suit of this discussion seems to be the almost
universal adoption of LYoN's kATHAIRoN as
an article better adapted to promote the
growth and beauty of the "Chief Glory of
Woman" than any other at present before the
world. They say that without irritating the
skin Of the head it eralicates dandruf, and
that it penetrates below the surface to the
roots of the hair, endowing them with new

WASHINGTON, Aug. Goth, 1872.
have just returned to this terribly hot
dusty city after a delightful soiourn Of sever
al weeks among the beautiful hills and valleys
Of Maine. Your State affords more opporlu-
nifty for real quiet, rest and enjoyment than
an one who has never visited it in the summer
has any idea of. Western and Southern poo-
pie are apt to speak and think Of it as howl
ing wilderness in the summer months and a
sort Of vast glacier during the remainder OF
the year, or at best only sort OF far away
dumping off place. where they pry up the
sun with a crowbar-gOOd only to omigrate
from. Such people are very much mistaken.
The State of Maine is noble in its people,
grand in its majestic mountains and rivers,
beautiful in its lofty hills its numberless lakes
and vast forests. doubt if any State in the
Union possesses greater variety of land
scape, or facilities for summers recreation
Its brooks, streams, ponds, rivers and lakes
are alive with fish; its woods with game, and
its climate is nyigorating and cool. Swell
terng days AMI nights such as we suffer in
here are unknown by the favored sons and
daughters of Maine. Occasionally you have
a very warm day, but your nights are cool,
your mornings and evenings delightful.
A somewhat extended tour through your
State impressed us with the great material
prosperity of the people Where bnt few
years since were seen only houses Of the
poorer class, now are numberless elegant
mansions and fine business edifces. Your
vast water privileges are rapidly becoming
the scene Of busy life among the mills and
and Connecticut in manufactures. The mar
row minded policy which once governed your
rulers has given way to broad and liberal
policy for the encouragement and promotion
Your railroads are now almost unequaled in
accommodation to the business and the pleas
ure seeking public. We were surprised to
find what change had been wrought in few
years. Now person can travel through the
length and breadth Of your State three times
as often and certainly three times as comfort
ably as he could ten years, ago. Much has
certainly teen accomplished for Maine by the
consolidation of the Maine Central and Port
land and Kcnnebec railroads, and by the com
pletion Of the European and North American
railway. Let no one now be deferred from
visiting the Pine Tree State for fear OF IN
sufficient TRAVELLING facilities, for you have
Pullman and Rice, two Of Americas Railroad
Kings among you.
Your city and environs owe a debt of graf
itude to Speaker Blaine which it is not posi-
BILE to believe win be repaid the coming
months by the election of Mr.. Lang, man
who has no doubt been useful to the people

DEAR SIR: Although l know that your
nomination by the Republican party is any
thing but agreeable to you, vet l hope the
fiattering manner in when it was made will
induce you TO accept the prohercd honor
The effect Of this act upon the people, out
side of the Tammany Ring and Greeley Junk
Shop, is one of general satisfaction. AT all
events | can speak for myself, that my mind
has been relieved of a load of anxiety which
has been depressing me for the last month,
lest the Republican politicians should foist
upon us a candidate who would ruin the cause
of good government and honest reform, and
this relief seems to he thankfully shared by
that portion of the public with which |
am in daily contact. think it, therefore, of
the highest importance that your name should
be permitted to stand where it is. and although
| it may cause you sacrifices which you should
not be called upon to make, it, at the same
time will crown your career with glory which
many will envy, but which is pre-emnently
due to your lifelong devotion to the best in
terests Of our city, State and nation.
Yours truly, in haste.

The Great leelOrnier of the Civil
Service Kicks over His own
PLATFORM.

Mr.. Greeley has had Il great deal to say
against political appointments. lie has
found fault with President Grant for con-
finnig his appointments to republicans.
There are many persons who think that
appointments should not he confined to
one party, but that the public patronage
should be dispensed with an impartial
hand to all parties, and they believed
when Mr.. Greeley was nominated that he
stood on such q platform and would re-
gard it. This they took to be one of the
leading features of Civil Service Reform,
so called.
But the speech of Mr.. Greeley at Port
land told a very different story TO those
who are capable of interpreting it Alright.
In ii he planted himself directly on the
old .Jacksonian idea, ITO the vctors be-
long the spoils.' The question of what he
would do with the offices and how he
would regard those who aided to elect him
had been raised and thus he met it. lie
said "ln two or three instances have
been asked to say ,chethsr I Wou1d or
1cou'd not II elected CONFINE MY APPOINT
MENTs TO REPUBLICANS. answer these
by pointing to the plank in the Cincinna-
ii platform wherein all who concur in the
principles therein set forth are cordially
invited to participate in their establish
ment and vindication. NEVER YET
HEARD OF A MAN WHO INVITED
Ills NEIGHBORST TO HELP HIM RAISE
A HOUSE, AND PROCEEDED TO KICK
THEM OUT OF IT AS SOON AS THE
ROOF WAS FAIRLY OVER HIS HEAD.n
This decides that Mr.. Greeley would be
confined in his appointments to the party
that elected him, and pretty etlectually
kicks over civil service reform as many OF
his followers have understood it. His
language contains an invitation to all to
help elect him with the understanding
that the spois shall be divided among the
victors.
