Atce Liberals Traitors!

An irnhortant consultation of Admin,
istration Republicans was held on the
7tb inst. in the marble room of the
Senate Chamber, to discuss the course
to be pursued toward the Republicans
who had joined. the Cincinnati move
meut One or two Senators, like Chan
dIpr and Edmunds, favored war to-the-
knife policy, and denounced them as
traitors to the Republican party. 9th
er Senators, including Wilson, favored
a peace policy Cor the present, with the
future hope that the Democrats would
nominate st'ai gbt ticket, and that The
Liberal Republicans would thercupon
all return to the fold. 1t was intimatetl
that the President held that view, and
so far as tie conference could bind
anybody, it was agreed to pursue len
lent course, A proposition that Grant

EN@.AsNyNNNnHG9 Hair

Every year increases the POPULAR
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it il
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, Md,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, say.
"Tha constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and 1 consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

THAT Redl,frIc,,ng,

tricting Of the State appears to be like
game of euchre, where there are an
equal number of knayes on both sides !;
hut in this instance the Republican
knayes being the right color, black and
unblushing, force the game.
The disgraceful plan to so redistrict
the State, that although the two parties
are equally divided, yet the Republicans
secure fifteen representatives out of
twenty, has passed the House. We care
not who is hurt; the man that can de-
fend such thing is political knave,
unfit to be trusted with the interests of
agrcat political party.
Such policy is disgraceful, demor.
aiizing aud destructive. No sensible
Republican can approve such political
robbery of the opposite party, and no
honest man can support it.
To their credit lie it recorded, that
Messrs. Powell and Williams, Repubii-
cans, refused to acquiesce in this iniq-
nity ais "a
