% HAVE You SEEN HER?-A lady who for the
last five years has been leader of fashion in
New York, and who may be seen twice week
in her elegant caleche driving pair of superb
ponies in Central park, has recently stated, in
the select circle to which she belongs, that the
only article in existence which imparts beauty
and lustre to the complexion without ultimately
impairing the texture of the skin and causin G
it to collapse and wrinkle, is HAGAN's MAGNo-
Liza BALM. The name of the distinguished
member of the bean monde who made this dec
laration cannot with propriety be given, but it
may be mentioned en- passant that she has
spent several years of her life in Eirope and is
familiar with all the arts and preparations en-
ployed by the court beauties of the old
world to enhance their charms.

ALEX. STEPHENS ON ADAMS.


What a Bourbon Thinks of the Situation.
Alex. II. Stephens, the Vice President
of the late Confederacy, in Saturdays At
Ianta Sun, referring to the proposition for
the Democracy to support Adams, says:
Just when the prospect was almost GER
tain of signal triumph of the Democratic
party upon the true Jeffersonian princi-
Piles of the Constitution ; just when the
Radical CentraliZing and Imperializing
dynasty was becoming OdiOus to a large
number of its own constituency; just
when thousands and hundreds of thousands
of them were ready to join the upwards of
three millions of true Democrats, in a res
cue of our free institutions from the hands
Of the usurpers, these arch cOnspirators
now stand forth before the country as the
no longer disguised co-OperatOrS with the
enemy in the only scheme by which the
cause they have outwardly professed to
support could possibly be defeated!
This, we have thought for some time, as
our readers know, was the object of these
and other " trusted leaders " of the DEM
ocratic party, in the new departure move
ment. Their chief aim all along, as We
believe, was not the success of Democratic
principles, but their defeat. We have
thought so ever since the World, in 1868,
virtually abandoned the support of Sey-
mour andBlair, when the indications were
strongly in favor of the success of the
ticket; and especially have we thought so
since the World, last year, refused to an
swer our question, whether it would sup
port Democratic nominee, on a square
out JeffersOnian platform in the coming
Presidential election, if such an one should
be so presented. This question was then
considered by this protested Metropolitan
organ of the Democracy as "a tritie imper-
| tinent.n
1t was also then that we became fully
satisfied as to what was the controlling
motive in its open detection in 1868. 1t
was then that we became perfectly salts
| fled that, in the Democratic fold, this
"professed organ " was nothing but a
| 'wolf in sleeps clothing"
The covering is now thrown OFT, and
this wiley Radical, with his mask down,
| is out OpenIy-not for a Democratic Presi-
dent or any one in sympathy with sim
! gle article in the Democratic creed, but fol
one who, during his whole life, has been
"trainedn in the 'ideas" and "policies" OF
the "straightest sect of Centralists and
Imperialists.
Whether the Democracy will "spOn'
taneously" act as the World ventures tC
assert, III case the Cincinnati Convention
snail DO as 1t advises, time-a few days
will disclose
We can not, however, forbear the ex'
preston of our opinion in the meantime
that they will do no such thing. either
spontaneously or by ".compulsion.,
This is our own spontaneous" Judgment
and tits strengthened by what we see il
another telegraph from Washington. an
nouncing, on the authority of Hon. Fer
nando Wood, of New York, Chairman o
the Democratic Organization in the Hous
of Representatives of Congress, that if tn

repudiated by the Democracy of the Union

Liberal Republicans in Tennessee.
ATHENS, Tenn, April 20, 1872

ATHENS, TENN, April 20, 1872.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: In the last issue
of the Athens Post the following extract
appears in an editorial There are no
Liberal Republicans in East Tennessee,
as far as heard from, consequently East
Tennessee will have nothing to do with
the Cincinnati affair."" If by this the edi-
tor of the Post intends to convey the idea
that the term means that kind of Liberal
Republican which will go to Cincinnati
and there meet in convention with disaf
feCted Republicans, to affiliate with the
Democratic party. whose sole aim is to di-
vide the Republican party and elect a
Democratic President next fall, then he is
right, and there are no Liberal Republic
cans in East Tennessee, and [ trust there
never will be any so liberal as all that
While Il great majority of the Republicans
of this section of Tennessee desire some of
the reforms demanded by the Cincinnati
Liberals, yet they intend to work for their
accomplishment within the ranks of their
own party, and will refuse to give aid and
support, i'll any manner, to that party
which has ever proved itself the enemy
of needed reform in the Government.
That party had the national ascendancy
in 1860 but instead of working reforms, it
worked for the destruction of the govern
ment. 1t had an overwhelming majority
in New York, and it ripened into Tam
many. It has had the power in Tennessee
for some time, but we fail to see the prom
ised reform. The Republicans in East
| Tennessee mean to aid in re-electing Grant
and then demand of him all necessary re-

The Democratic Press ON the Cincinnati

The majority of the Democratic press

The Albany 4rguS, one of the leading
interior New York papers, on the Goth
ult. said:
The ArguS tomorrow will contain an
article upon the subject of the Cincinnati
Convention, regulating, in the name of
the Democratic party, the assumptions of
the New York World in relation to Charles
frames Adams. 1t says: We do not
know where the World has found evidence
OF a Democratic preference for Adams
to the exclusion of other distinguished
men named as the possible choice of the
CINCINNATI Convention.'
After acknowledging the high personal
ana pubic character of Mr., Adams, which
even his ungracious letter can not effect, it
goes on to say 1--WE will not initiate the
fault we censure by assuming to pledge
the Democracy of the State for any candi-
date; but, for our own part, we feel that
the true relations of the Democracy OF
New York are with the great West.n

ALI, ABOUT TIE CINCINNATI CONVEN
TION.
The Situation Sunday Night.

Watterson, of the Louisville Courier
Journal is at Cincinnati. In the follOwin:
will be found his view of the situation
Sunday night:
There is a good deal of caucusing of 9
very informal and amateur kind going OH
tonight. None of the cliques, of which
there are at least a dozen, is able to mus
ter very strong; but those of the wire
pullers who are here make up in activity
what they lack in force. You may rely
upon this, that the fight for the nomina-
ton will be free and lively. Adams,
Greeley, Trumbull, Gratz Brown, Davis
and Palmer will be entered, and each will
have urgent partisans at his back.
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.
The Adams movement has the merit of
disinterestedness. Mr.. Adams himself has
quietly quilted the field, and gone abroad
to attend to his duties at Geneva. His
supporters are men of character and in
fiuence, who honestly consider him the
best man for the place, and the most avail
able nominee for the occasion. He is the
favorite of the nOn-partisan Republicans
on account of his qualifications. He is
the favorite of the Southern Democrats
because he is gentleman. But he can
not be, in the nature Of the case, be press
ed with a great deal of hullabaloo. and he
may fail on this account. But, at this mo-
ment, he heads the list of probabilities,
with Palmer, Trumbull, or Gratz Brown
for Vice President.
GRATZ BROWN.
Next to Adams, in positive strength,
comes Gratz Brown. 1t is claimed for
him not only that he is the father of the
Liberal movement, and its most conspic-
uOus and brilliant representative, but that
he is a grOtUjng man; that he will augment
in popularity from the start; while the op-
ponents of Adams aver that he will be as
big in the beginning as he ever will be,
and, if he does not grow" that he will
simply stand still, like handsome piece of
statuary. The Gratz Brown men are nu-
merOus and enthusiastic. They remind
one of the Douglas men at Baltimore in
1852, and the PendletOn men in New York
in 1868. Gratz is an ardent, courageous,
dashing fellow; bigger man than his
friends really think him to be; and he has
a future before him. But there is danger
that his interests may be upset on the old
rock which wrecked the Little Giant the
rock Of precipitation.
GREELEY, TRUMBULL AND DAVIS.
Trumbull, somehow, is not as strong as
he was month ago, and Davis is at de-
cided discount. Indeed, the gathering of
deadbeats at Columbus, which put Davis
in the field, is regarded with pretty geneT-
al contempt Palmer and Greeley both
have friends, but neither of them is in the
front line.
