On Monday the Liberal-D Democratic Leg
islature, declared elected by the Warmoth
board assembled in New Orleans, the State
capital, but the Capitol being in possession
of Federal troops and guarded by. two U
nited States batteries, the members met
in public hall, where they were served
with Judge Durells restraining order.
At the same hour the Radical Legisla-
ture counted in by the Kellogg board met
at the State Capitol. The House organ
lied by the election of the Postmaster of
the city as Speaker, and then unanimously
adopted resolution calling upon the Pres
ident for protection against domestic vio-
lence. Then, by vote of fifty eight to
six, the House impeached Governor War
moth, this action-if the Legislature is a
legal one-under the State law suspending
him from Office. The Senate, after indig
nant protest from members holding over,
passed the first resolution, organized as a
court of impeachment, and then adjourn
ed for one week. Lieutenant Governor
Pinchback was sworn in as Governor, but
was Immediately served with an injunc-
ton from the State Court, forbidding him
to exercise the duties of the office.
The Pinchback government has been
adopted by the Federal authorities at
Washington, and will be supported by
Federal troops. This is the manner the
Grant administration guarantees to Loui-
siana Republican form of government
under the Constitution. Instead Of allow
ing the people to settle their own affairs,
Federal bayonets are brought into requi-
sition, and orders issued from Washington
as to who shall fill certain offices in the
State. Such usurpation of power by the
Federal authorities, in time of profound
peace, is dangerous to the stability of our
Republican form of government, and
should be 30 viewed by the people. Il
General Grant can say who should be
Governor of Louisiana, he can, in like
manner, fill the Executive chairs of Other
States, and thus make elections unneces.

Ten Becauses.-A hundred reasons might
be given why Lyons Kathairon should be used
by every intelligent human being in preference
to every other preparation for the hair, but ten
will suffice. Herethey are: Because it nourishes
the fibers, multiplies them and makes them grow
because it thus prevents the hair from wither-
ing and bleaching; because it removes the scruf
and dandruff which choke them as tares choke
the golden grain because it keeps the scalp cool
and prevents eruptions; because it renders the
hair as lustrous as satin because it makes it PHI
ant and elastic; because it is fragrant and de-
lightful dressing; because it does not soil the
pillow, the cap or the hat; because it is without
rival in cheapness, and because no other article
sold for the p4rFseSsin this or any other coun-
try, possesses Or even one-half, of these in
valuable properties.

YOu Can do Your Own Painting
r D lie US PATENT ENAMEL PAINT


THESE PAINTS are composed of PURE
Il WHITE LEAD, ZINC and L1NsEED Oh,
with other materials which add greatly to the
durability, elasticity, beauty and strength of
the Paint. The whole are chemically COM
bined, so that the pigments are held in per-
manent solution, thus forming smoothe,
glossy, firm, elastic, beautiful and durable,
Paint. The Oil, which is the real life of
the Paint, cannot leave it and be absorbed
by the substance to which it is applied, as it
does in the paints mixed in the ordinary
way, and thus leave the pigment dead and
brittle, to wash and rub off in few months. |
or at farthest in three or four years. This
Paint is unaffected by changes of tempera-
ture, is perfectly impervious to the action of
water, is well adapted to all classes of work,
and is in every way better Paint for either
INSIDE or OUTSIDE Work or Boar PAINTING,
than any other Paint known to the trade,
and will last at least THREE TINES AS LONG AS
THE BEST LEAD AND OIL MIXED IN THE oRD1-

The End Of the Tichborne Trial.

Our dispatches from London, says
the Missouri Democrat, tell of the
inslOrious termination Of the Itch
borne trial, the abandonment Of the
case on behalf of the claimant, who
was no doubt a bold and desperate
adyenturer followed by his arrest
and incarceration on a charge of
perjury, upon which he will prOba-
bly, be convicted. We have not
seen the geneaIOgy of the Itch
borne family in any of the English
newspapers, but we have no doubt
il can be traced back to Il linen dra-
per OF that name who figures in No
bIe's g Regicides." Cromwell took
IA fancy to Il poor but honest Itch
borne, and made him "A lIeutenent
of the Tower, and afterwards a
member OF the Council of State. 1t
was probably in the latter capacity
that the immense landed estates
which are now in want of an heir
was acquired by the TichbOrne of
two hundred years ago. Cromwell,
though II sterniy virtuOus person
himself, had some wicked associates
in state affairs, aud it may be that
the Iightfnl owner of the property
in dispute can be found outside of
the Tichborne family.

Says the Savannah Republican
ga late communication from Major
Il. J. Moses set at rest the long dis.
puted question, what became Of the
Confederate gold?' The Charlotte
IN. CO. Democrat speaks positively
as to the fate of the archives as fol-
lows: 1--WE think we know some
thing about theCOnfederate archives.
The Confederate government was
broken up in Charlotte in April, 1865.
We saw President Davis and several
members of his cabiUet-Brecken-
ridge, Benjamin, Reagan and others
ride Oui of this city on horseback,
with about a thousand cavalry SOL
diers. The Adjutant General,
Cooper, had charge of the books
and papers of the Confederate gov
eminent, and after getting them
this far was unable to move them
farther south. They were stored at
this place, and when division OF
the Federal army occupied this
section, the said books and archives
were shipped to Washington. We
think the above a correct account of
the disposition of the Confederate
archives. So it appears that both
the gold and archives fell into the
hands of the Federal authorities,
and they only can make reliable
as to its subsequent dis
position"

The Great Accumulation.

The n. Y. San is endeavOring to
foot up the value of Gen. Grants
g accumulatiOns in real estate and
hard cash since his accession to the
Presidency. After enumerating his
thrifty Investments in the Dent
Farm, near ST. Louis, the Seneca
Stone quarry, and Western Union
Telegraph stock, the editor says:
Now, when it is remembered that
this official entered upon his Office
comparatively poor man, and that
today his property is estimated at
over half a million, while his current
expenses are represented by his
friends as more than his salary, a
natural curiosity is excited to know
in what manner such enormous ac-
cumulatiOns have been made. They
could not have grown out of the re-
ceipts OF the comparatively limited
salary paid him, for that he has
spent and more. He has been en-
gagged i'm no legitimate business out
; of whose ventures they could have
been realized. There is but one way
in which they can he accounted for.
He has sedulOusly cultivated since
his elevation to the Presidential
Office the acquaintance and friend
ship Of the wealthiest men in the
land, and especially of those who
grew rich by means of the enormous
profits from fat contracts during the
war.
But farther on, the San adds:
There was one man of wealth
whose friendship he cOurted, but has
it not. That man is one of the mer-
chant princes of this city. He has
read him thoroughly, and now fully
comprehends that beneath his pre-
tended patriotism there are under
lying deep ineXhaustible Veins of
selfishness and remOrseless cupidity.
He recently remarked, with great
shrewdness, " His avarice is the on
ly trait in his character i'll which he
resembles Marlboro"

HONESTY THE BEST POLICY
Sharp practice is never wise and
seldom efticaciOus. In politics, nC
less than in commerce, credit is the
corner stone of all permanent sue
cess: and credit is the result OF
open, fearless f,ir-dealing. 1t may
not seem to be SO bad, but it is rea
ly quite as bad, for politician tt
get the reputation of being ricky Il:
for man of business to acquire iha
unenviable distinction
Its action is exactly the opposite
of the New Jersey papers as to pas
sivism and encouragement to thu
factiOus Radicals. Which is right
