Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration 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 dandruff,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates 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 new growth, except
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap-
pearance. A. A. Hayes, MD, State
Assayer of Massachusetts, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and l
consider.it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"

of Russia in 1871 being only 400

for about s75 per pound. 1t is an al

English language. We are rather inclined
to think the alternative is true; and be-
sides, you know, none are so incapable OF
understanding as those who do not choose
to understand. And we adopt this expla-
nation the more readily from the fact that
We have it on the authority of a gentle
man of this county, who does understand
the English language, and whose word
will go as far throughout the State of Ma
ryland as that of either of the editors or
proprietors of the Independent, high as
they stand socially, and who was also pres
ent at the meeting at Leonardtown, that
DIR. Henkle did not advocate the repeal of
the 14th and 18th Amendments then. If
because Mr.. Harris presided at this meet
ing and then and there endorsed DR.. Hen
kle, the inference is justifable that the
latter had yielded to the views of the for
mer, then we can with propriety assume
that because lone of the proprietors" of
the Independent last fall voted for many of
the nominees of the Radical Convention
in this county, that that paper is being
published in the interest ofthe Radical par
ty. Indeed, the fact that that paper takes
up and adheres to, with so much peril
nacity, this SANDER of the leaders of that
party, would seemingly justify us in this
assumption, if the editorial courtesy of
'the writer in the Times" did not forbid
us to say that the Independent was parti-
san paper when its editors and proprietors
proclaim it to be Independent in politics.
But to put this matter at rest we have
only to refer our readers to the speeches
of DR.. Henkle made in this town and at
Aliens Fresh last week. On both occa-
sions he distinctly repudiated this charge
and emphatically denied that there was
any truth in it. But on the contrary he said
he stood where he had always stood-on
the Democrtic platform of 1872.
But further, to relieve the mind of the
editor of the Independent, who seems am
bilious of the reputation of Thomas Didy-
mus, the doubter, We will further state
that we handed Doctor Henkle, when he
was in this town, copy of the Indepen-
dent of the 14th and also copy Of the
Times Of the Cd, and asked him to read
the two articles and answer the question,
who is mistaken2' He did so and told
US emphatically that our neighbor was
wrong and that the Times correctly ex-
pressed his views. In conclusion, we will
say. that we hope that we have plainly an
swered the question and that our neigh
Dor will have no difficulty now in find
ing out s'who is mistaken"

ylsc Southern Mary sand Railroad and
its Creditors.

The committee appointed some time
since at meeting of creditors of the
Southern Maryland Railroad to wait on
the president, Col. 5. S. Smoot, and endea-
vor to make satisfactory arrangements as
to securing their claims, recently made a
report, which has been adopted. The COM
mittee-Messrs. James L. Barbour, II.
Browning, Frank Hume and Robert Cal
lahan-report that 1.-The president of the
company agrees to deposit bonds Of the
company to secure all claims against it,
until such time as he may be able to con-
clude his negotiations for the completion
of the road. The committee find that the
Indebtedness ofthe road, which has already
matured and yet to mature, much less than
was supposed, and of not such an amount
as to cause any alarm to Its creditors, con-
sidcring the large amount OF money ex-
pended upon the work already done upon
TIE road. The committee heartily com
mend the road to the people of Washing
ton and Baltimore as great work IN the
interests of those cities, and regard 1t as
one Of the most, if not the most, important
roads in this section of the country, so far
as the interests of the two cities named are
concerned, and say that but few Of our
people realize the important business in
terests it will develop. - Wash. Star.

s.RinS Rule"

About the coolest instance Of assurance
that has crossed our observation lately
or belief in the ignorance Of roters-is con-
tanned in notice issued by the Radical
..Campaign Committee Meetings
In this county. Ring Rule. This comes
with an i'll grace, indeed, from party
whose candidate is VIGOROUSLY the nomi-
nee of the Custom House" of Baltimore
city. 1t sent its emissaries into the coun-
ties and precincts of the Fifth District
outside Of their own district-to forestall
the choice Of voters and even sent one.
not delegate, into the Convention of
Charles county, where DR.. Wilmer was
well known to be the choice of his party.
1t is known to all who read, that Mr.. Hag-
ner was nominated by the votes of delega-
tions whose seats were contested. and by
delegations representing the larger num-
bers of voters, yet were ruled out by man
agement in the organization of the Conveu
ton. On the contrary, DR.. Henkle was
nominated 10y Convention as harmonious
as ever assembled, with no contests, diff
culties, or causes of dissatisfaction. If
there was any representative of any Ring
in it, he was not its choice. Ring Rule,
forsooth! Try some other card, gentle
men! There is something said, calling
upon every citizen favorable to the free
enjoyment Of his franchise" This savors
of the cry of "KuKluk" and Southern
Outrages" That notice must have been
written before the election news from the
West! Those elections show that that
"cry" has lost its efficacy. The thing has
become stale-the trick discovered. 1t is
rather late to attempt to get it up in Mary
land-and here in Charles county! 1t
may scare few ignoramuses, or shaky
so-called Union men; but no really sensible
colored voter, for whom it is intended,
will be deceived, although for party pur-
poses he may affect it. The real and i'm
portant issues in this campaign can't be
smothered by such shallow devices.

Hark from the TOmbs!

We had occasion sometime ago to COM
ment upon the fact that the fooI-k had
not discharged the full measure of his du-
ty in one of our sister counties-and now,
we find, that he has been equally derelict
in that venerable cemetery of departed
worth, Alexandria, Va. A letter, dated at
this place, in this weeks Independent, sign
ed Common Sense" when it more appro-
priately should have been signed dam
phool," undertakes to criticise late edi-
torial of the TIMES on the Tariff. This
wiseacre undertakes to show that because
'the Edwards, Elizabeth and the Colberts
of England, Napoleon Bonaparte and one
of the Emperors of Russia were in favor
of the doctrine of Protection that therefore
it is eminently proper for this Republic,
in the nineteenth century. BY way of
clincher, he tells US that Spain was max
ing at one time an everlasting fortune by
importing wool from England and return
ing it in manufactured goods; and if
Spain had stuck to this instead of digging
gold, she would now have surpassed Eng
land. But it never seems to have entered

..InfiatiOu and ReuudiatiOn.''

OF course we expected that the Radical
papers and the Radical sympathizers
would be unusually active and ingenious
in their efforts to break the force of the
recent great Democratic victories, and
would account for them in every way but
the true one. Our neighbour, the Ltdepen
dent, publishes an article from the Ameri
can, showing that our success was after all
a victory in favor of imitation and repu-
diation. AS an offset and complete an
swer to such an absurd assertion, we pub
lish the following from the Baltimore sun:
Since the late Democratic victories in
Ohio and Indiana there has been an effort
on the part of Republican journals to re
present them rs triumph of initiation and
reputation. There is abundant reason,
however, to discredit this view. The New
Yord Herald pointedly calls attention to
the fact that Mr.. Kerr, who made the most
brilliant and successful canvass ofany can
didate in Indiana rejected and scotfcd that
part of the State platform which favored
financial heresies. So, too, in Ohio, the
most brilliant and remarkable Democratic
victory was won in the twentieth congrcs
sional district. where Paine, the Democra
tic candidate, was pronounced antl-lntia-
zionist and INTERPRETATIONS. Had these
been the popular issues in the West, says
the Herald, Paine and Kerr should have
been defeated or have stood lowest on the
list of successful candidates, instead of
leading the canvass III their respective
States

into the noddle of this relict of byegone
days that if Spain had have had high pro
tective duties on her own wool her people
could not have imported it. This writer
says he proposes to show that our farmers
ought all to abandon their agricultural
pursuits and go to making blankets, which
sell at $3.50 under the Republican tariff
Let's do it 10y all means, We have such
water power here CATER a

Let us all make blankets, hencetorth, con-

by promising also to show that 1.-The damph

s.WhO is Mistaken -

Under this head our neighbor, the In
dependent, in its paper of the 18th instant,
takes issue with US as to the position of
DR.. Henkle with regard to the 14th and
18th Amendments and insists upon it,
that because the Hon. B. G. Harris, whose
extreme views on this subject are we'll
known, presided at the meeting addressed
by DIR. Henkle in Leonardtown, that the
Doctor must necessarily be in entire ac-
cord with Mr.. Harris in advocating the re-
peal Of these amendments. This charge
has been the burden of all the speeches
thus far made by the Radicals during the
present campaign. Mr.. Hagner has made
it, DR.. Wilmer has made it, and in fact, as
we said, every orator on that side Of the
house has taken up the cry, and, with the
pertinacity Of the consistent witness,
have sworn that the horse was seventeen
feet high and will continue so to swear un-
til the campaign is ended. OF course all
the negroes believe it, and nothing that we
or DR.. Henkle can say will have the slight
est effect on any Of them, and we do not
allude to the subject now with any hope
or expectation of having any influence on
them. Our object is an entirely different
one We do not choose that our nominee
shall he placed in false position before
his own party on this or any other subject,
so long as we are able to set him right
The editors Of the Independent, 1--WE will
have the good manners to speak of them
as 1.-The editors" though they have the
rudeness to speak Of us only as 1.-THE
writer in the 1inaes,') to further sustain
their position, allude to the report In the
Beacon as having been made by 'our prae-
tical and accurate friend King" We do
not know whether the report was made by
Mr.. King or Mr.. Downs, nor do We care.
Either Of them are good enough, ''practi-
cal" enough. and accurate" enough Dem
ocrats for us. They endorse DE. Henkle,
and this neither of them would do if he
had repudiated the Democratic platform
of 1872 as Mr.: Harris did. But the editor
of the Independent further says he was
present and that in substance the Doctor
did advocate the repeal ofthe amendments,
or he, the editor, does not understand the

~ Governor Thomas +. Bramette, mama
