A COLLISION.

General Spinner and Secretary
Bristow have come in collision, and
their dispute has been referred to
the President. The trouble has
grown out of General Bristow's
thoroughness in enforcing the re-
trenchment policy by wedding out
supernumerary clerks hitherto en-
ployed. Upon this basis General
Bristow has been thinning out the
incompetents from the various de-
partments Of the Treasury. Inevit-
ably he came to the redemption
bureau" created bya recent act OF
Congress and presided over BY
Treasurer Spinner. General Bris-
tow says that the number Of clerks
in that department can and must be
reduced, but the venerable Spinner
lays bis hand on his heart and calls
Diety to witness that they shall not
be reduced, Or if they are he too
will resign. There being no COM
promise, the President is asked to
arbitrate. The general belief is that
Bristow is in the right and will be
sustained.

SOUTHERN OPINION OF. .CHIEF-JUs.
TlCE WAITE.

We had a pleasant chat with
Chief-J Justice Waite last evening al
his room at the Yarboro House. Mr.
Waite is a mild and courteous gen.
tleiuan, open and liberal in al his
views, without party or sectional
prejudice, and just the man for hold
ing the balances of justice. He was
born in 1916, and is 81 years old.
He graduated at Yale in 1887, and
was admitted to practice law in
Ohio in 1889. He practiced his pro-
fession at Toledo, in that State, from
1889 to 1874. In the fall of 1871
Mr.. Waite was appointed one of the
counsel of the United States before
the Geneva Arbitration. While on
his way to Europe he saw President
Grant for the first time. This Is his
first trip down South, and he speaks
in the highest terms of onr people
and our resources. He spoke of the
good people of Richmond, Va, and
how kindly he was received in that
city. When Mr.. Waite first heard
of his appointment lie was just TAX
ing his seat as President of the Ohio
Constitutional Convention, and a
reporter of one of the papers in Gin
cinnati informed him that his NOM
ination had been sent to the Senate.
He was very much surprised at the
news, as he never knew Gen. Grant
to any extent until after his return
from Geneva, and within less than
a year from his appointment.
The Chief Justice is very thick
set, has large mouth that is always
in good humor, wears black, silky
whiskers, and his cou ntenence is
pleasant and inviting.

THE OCEAN CABLES.

The cable of 1866, it will be re-
membered, was broken last year,
and could not be used for the trans
mission of telegrams-business hav
ing during the winter and spring
been confined to the. other English
and French cables. The announce
ment is now made that on Tuesday
the broken cable was successfully
repaired, and is now in working ord
er. All three afe in operation, and
the Anglo-American Cable Company
will soon lay a fourth. The opposi-
lion cable, the section of which be-
tween Halifax and New Hampshire
was finished this week, will also be
completed across the ocean in a
short time. With five cables be-
tween England and America, there
is no reason why the present exorb-
liant tolls should not be reduced.

BAXTER ANGRY.

Governor Baxter is reported to be
very angry at the action of the con-
vention in declaring that all officers
from the lowest to the highest shall
be elected, as his Democratic friends
had promised that his term should
be scheduled over by constitutional
provisions. Persons,,who havesscon-
versed with him say he threatens to
disperse the convention with the
militia if it interfercs with his term
Of Office. The Democrats held a
caucus Fri day night to ascertain
how many members of the conven-
tion could be relied upon to disband
the militia and thus prevent Baxter
from interfering with them.

CHICAGO FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Chicago is in earnest in her efforts
to prevent the recurrence of the
great fires that have visited her.
Action is to be taken at once to pro-
hibit the erection of the wooden tin
der boxes in the fire limits and the
force and efficiency of the fire de-
partment are to be increased forth
with. The Chicago Board of I'm
derwriters at-their meeting on Sat
urday said that the companies inter-
ested in the Board would. shortly
discontinue business in the city I'M
less the Fire Department was thor
oughly reorganized and its present
incompetent head dismissed. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether all this
virtuous indignation will last.

DESERVED HONOR.

A new and deserved honor says
the Cleveland Leader, has fallen
upon the head Of Mr.. Henry NJ.
Stanley. The letters of DR.. Living
stone and the testimony Of his ser
wants concerning the liberality and
kindness of the American journalist
to the veteran explorer, have made
the English people quite ashamed ol
the jealous suspicion with which
they greeted Mr.. Stanley on his re-
turn from Zanzibar, and they are
now loading him with every mark Of
honor and respect. More than this,
the London Daily Telegraph has
united with Mr.. Bennett, of the
New York Herald in fitting out g
strong and perfectly equipped ex-
pedition to go to Central Africa, and
there if possible solve the remain
ing problems OF geography, and in
vestigate and report on the slave
trade. It is designed in fact to CON-
plete the work left unfinished when
death laid its unwelcome hand upon
DR.. Livingstone. 7 ne command OF
this important expedition IS to be
given to Mr.. Stanley, who, as the
London Telegraph says, "will rep
resent the two nations whose COM
mon interest in the regeneration Of
Africa was SO well illustrated when
the lost English explorer was redis-
covered by the energetic American
correspondent. In that memorable
journey Mr.. Stanley displayed the
best qualities of an African traveller;
and with no inconsiderable resources
at his disposal to reinforce his own
complete acquaintance with the con-
ditions Of African travel, it may be
hoped that very important results
will accrue from this undertaking
to the advantage of science, human
ity and civilization"
Nothing of course could please
Bennett better than to play a part
in such a scheme as this and it is
said besides furnishing his part of
the outfit he will place his yacht at
the disposal Of the expedition to
carry the party to Zanzibar. 1t is
greatly to the interest OF science
and humanity that the geography of
Central Africa be settled and that
the slave trade which now preys up
on that country be broken up. If
Stanley can lead an expedition
which shall contribute directly to
either of these results his country
men will forgive his failure as a
lecturer and applaud him as he de-
serves.

The Tuscarawas Advocate shows
its high appreciation of Govern,
or Allen by the following: Govern
or Allen really seems to expect the
Bourbon nomination for President
in 1876; and he deserves it, if un-
flinching adherence to party through
all its dirtiness can possibly entitle
him to it.
The following heavy weights are
among the official of Noble county:
Judge Dilley, 214; Treasurer Smith,
204; Sheriff Lawrence, 20S; Clerk
Belford, ia; total, 800; average,
200 pounds.

REBUKED.

Mayor HaYemeyer has at last re.
ceived a rebuke from Governor Dix
His attempt to abolish the Office Of
Armory Commissioners does moi
meet the Governors approval, and
the latter politely tells him the May
or of New York has no such power.
This is little matter, comparative
y, but it is very acceptable to the
New Workers, as it strengthens their
hope Of being able soon to lay up
the troublesome mayor on a shelf
for a season at least.

OF Leetonia, Ohio, Sick Fifteen Years,
Disease of Lungs and Heart, Free
gent Hemorrhages, &c.
LEEToNIA, Ohio, December %, 1870.
Dr.. j. w. SYKEs-Dear sir: 1 feel il
my duty to make just acknowledge
ment to you of the benefit received OF
your treatment from April to Septem-
ber, 1869. When l resorted to you had
but little hope of recovery, as 1 had
hemorrhage of the Lungs almost daily
during twenty-five months previous, to-
gether could not lie on my left side dur
ing period of fifteen years. The cough,
pain, and constant oppression of the
breast made life burden. After taking
your treatment for three months felt q
decided Improvement; the hemorrhage
of the lungs had ceased altogether; the
opp ession of the breast, t,coHgh,& &C., were
much better, with a decided improve
ment of my general health; so that 1
commenced the second course of three
months treatment with more hope. Az
ter continuing the treatment (altogeth-
er five months,) felt myself entirely
well, could lie on either side and breathe
freely. yet could hardly believe the
cure a permanent one. But now, fifteen
months have elapsed, and no recurrence
of hemorrhages, or cough, and l have
regained my former weight SO that l
now fell thankful to God and to you for
your Invaluable treatment in my case,
and shall not cease to recommend 9TH
ers similarly afflicted to your treat
ment.
Yours respectfully,
S. II. SITTER.

EXPORTS.

Exports from Philadelphia have
increased largely during the past
few years. The increase for the
year 1923, over that of the pre-
ceeding year, was more than foul
millions OF dollars. For the yeaI
ls73-4the increase was over eight
millions of dollars, making an in
crease since the close of the year
1877 Of more than twelve mil
lions of dollars. So much for the
establishment of the American line
OF ocean steamers.

Every year increases the popu-
larity Of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our old
patrons that 1t is kept fully up to
its high standard and it is the on
ly reliable and perfected prepara-
ton for restoring GRAY Oh FADED
HAZE to its youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, b. its use, becomes white and
clean. It removes all eruptions and
dandruf, and, by its tonic proper
ties, 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
economical HAIR-DREssING ever
used, as it requires fewer applica-
tions, and gives the hair splendid,
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,
Md, State Assayer of Massachu-
sets, says, sThe constituents are
pure, and carefully selected for e1-
cellent quality; and l consider it

A WORD TO OUR PATRONS.

A WORD TO OUR PATRONS.
The present volume ofthe REPuB
LIcAN will soon close. In a few
weeks we shall enter upon our iftt
volume. While we feel thankful to
our subscribers for their patronage
we feel compelled to call upon those
of them who are in arrears, to come
forward promptly and meet their
dues. It is small matter to each
one, yet the aggregate is of very
great consequence to us. 1t is no
small and inexpensive job to run q
paper the size of the REPUBLICAN,.
Tn. daily expenses are heavy,which
must be met promptly, whether We
have the money or not. If we can
not get at our own money, by reas-
on of its being in the hands of our
readers, we are obliged to borrow
and pay heavy interest while
many of our readers are using our
money without allowing us any in
terest whatever. During the past
six months money matters have
been very close, and it has taken
about one half our time to look after
the financial interest of our paper,
to make arrangements to meet de-
mands, &c, so much SO that we have
not had the proper amount Of time
to devote to the editorial work that
we ought to have. As a conse-
quence our readers suffer also. Now
this should not be the case. We
know that if the people think Of
this, and look at the matter in this
light, they will come forward and do
their part promptly. We desire and
must, give more time to our editor
ial duties, and we therefore ask our
patrons to respond promptly, in or
der that we may be enabled to meet
our demands without loss of time
on our part. There is hard work
to be done this fall in our county,
and we wish to give all our time to
the work if we possibly can. You
can assist US greatly in the work by
settling your "back pay" and by re-
newing promptly. We ask this IA
yor for your own good, as well as
ours. Please give it your atten-
ton.

Mr.. D. ]. K,

Of the Cincinnati Daily Gazette,
a gentleman who knows what he is
talking about, after having visited
Lake Chautauqua, publishes a let
ter in the Gazette, of the issue of
the 3rd inst, and the following ex
tracts of his letter will show in what
estimation he holds Lake Chautau-
qua as place of summer resort.
He says:
although this region cannot be
said to be as lovely as Geneva or Lu-
cerne, it is as lovely as one can see,
perhaps, outside of Switzerland ,and
far lovelier than places that receive
much more patronage and are writ
ten about more IN the newspapers.
There are many enchanting scenes
in this locality and owing to the
great elevation of the lake, they can
be enjoyed, for there is at all times
a cool breeze at Bemus Point. A
bout two miles from this place is
Long Point, a glorious place for
fishing. Whltney's Bay is situated
between Bemus and Long Point,and
the shade from either promontory
protects the fisherman throughout
the live-long day,and happy wight
is he who can sit under such glori
GUS shade on a sultry day and sing:
aOh, the gallant fishers life,
1t Is the best Of any!
This full of pleasure, avoid Of strife,
And tits beloved by many.
"From Long Point there is splen-
did view of the lake, extending a
distance of more than II miles to
the small town of Maysville.
THE DRIVES, FISHING, BOATING, &c.
Nowadays no one thinks ofwalk-
ing: that is too healthy an exercise
to be INDUCED in; but if such
thing as fine walks were needed,
the whole neighborhood of this lake
abounds with them. The drives are
the finest 1 have ever seen around
such small lake, and they are quite
numerous and all enjoyable. The
fishing is always good, but at this
season remarkably so. According
to the evidence of the oldest inhab-
liant, no such fishing has been ex-
perienced for many years. The boat
ing is as good as water from two to
five miles in width and twcnty-four
miles in length can afford. The wa
ter is clear as crystal, the shore is
pebbly, and the beaches made for
children and women to bathe in.
Men can bathe or swim anywhere.
"Why some of our people should
go thousands of miles away to find
cool, delicious places, while Chaut-
auqua is so near, is mystery that
explains itself, and that is simply
because the locality is new one,
and not yet known to the multitude. |
When it becomes popular it may be
for the sensible tourist,
but its GOODNESS and general salu-
brity can never be effaced."

SH2 ing the system
and purifying the
NV II Iblood. It has
N[ stood the test Of
S years, with a con-
e1Sts stantly growing
reputation, based on its intrinsic virtues,
and sustained by its remarkable cures.
So mild as to be safe and beneficial to
children, and yet so searching as to
effectually purge out the great corrup-
tions of the blood, such as the scrof
ulous and syphilitic contamination.
Impurities or diseases that have lurked
in the system for years soon yield to
this powerful antidote, and disappear.
Hence its wonderful cures, many of
which are publicly known, of ScrOfhla,
and all scrof1lous diseases, Ulcers,
Erupti0ns, and eruptive disorders of
the skin, Tum0rs, Bl0tches, B0ils,
Pimples, Pustules, Sores, st.
AnthOny's Fire, Rose or Ery.
sipelaS, letter, Salt Rheum,
Scald Head, Ringworm. and in
ternal Ulcerati0ns of the Uterus,
Stomach, and Liver. It also cures
other complaints, to which it would not
seem especially adapted, such as Drop
sy, Dyspepsia, Fits, Neuralgia,
Heart Disease, Female Weak
ness, Debility, and Leuc0frhoea,
when they are manifestations of the
scrofulous poisons.
It is an excellent restorer Of health
and strength in the Spring. By renew
ing the appetite and vigor of the diges-
tive organs, it dissipates the depression
and Estless languor of the season.
Even where no disorder appears, people
feel better, and live longer, for cleansing
the blood. The system moves on with
renewed vigor and q new lease of life.
