We regret very much that our
young friend, o. M. Ladd thought it
necessary to resign his position Is
City Solicitor. Mr.. Ladd is . young
lawyer of much promise, was we'll &C.
luainted with the city business, and
had the respect and confidence not
only of the Council, but of the citi-
zens generally. However, he informs
us that the business of o. M. Ladd g.
Co. is increasing to such an extent as
to make it necessary for him to give it
his entire time, and that under the
circumstances he found it impossible
to give the city business the attention
which it frequently seemed to de-
mand. w. II. G. Jsquee, the newly
elected City Solicitor, is q lawyer of
experience, and will, no doubt, give
entire satisfaction.

Governor KirkwoOd,

The Governors speech here on yes.
terday gave excellent satisfaction. The
very candid and forcible style of the
Governor, his splendid record among
us for years, deservedly and rightfully
give TO him a strong hold upon the
good will OF the people. The Gov
ernor fully and completely demolish-
Ell the charge made against him Of
having anything to do with tho &C.
called salary grab business. This. of
all possible things is the most foolish
and unwarrantablc ever brought
against any man. Governor Kirk
wood retired from Congress, as he
showed, ak years before the passage
OF the salary grab bill, and had moth
ing on earth to do with it. The salary
of congressman for which he voted
was passed in 1866, and ia Just tic
same as it now stands, and under
which congressman are now being
paid, after the repeal of the salary
u alb bill. The Governor went effect
ually over the record of the two par.
ties and made the strongest possible
appeal to men 10 act in politics as they
would in their own private affairs in
Judging between individuals whom
they would trust with their business.
He said that every man In placing
confidence or otherwise in men will
look over their past records and asccr-
tain whether they have been faithful,
honest men, aud if we find they have
so acted through series of years we
confidently look for them to continue
IN such course, but if they have been
dishonest aud unfaithtul we Judge that
they will do SO again. lie asked the
Same rule to DO applied 10 our choice
between parties, and certainly there
can be no safer or better rule to follow
in politics. The speech was mastery
one and reflected great credit upon
the Governor. We trust that he may
have health and strength given to him
10 hold out to go through the state
thoroughly rs he will be a power for
good wherever he il heard.-Daily of

The lBransit Case.

Dies MONIES, Sept. THE opinion
of the Supreme Court in the case of
Isaac Brandt, indicted and convicted
for embczzlement of $4,000 of the
public money while Deputy Treasurer
of the State, was filed to-day. The
case went to tho Higher Court on an
appeal, Brand1's lawyer holding that
the indictment was illegal, because the
Deputy Sheriff, instead Of the Sheriff,
participated in tho drawing of said
jury. The Supreme Court sustains
this point, and revcrses tho opinion
of the lower court. Judges Cole, Mil
Ter and Day unite in this opinion, but
Beck dissents.
Brandt now goes free, and it is as
serted that he cannot again be indict-
ed, the statute of Limitation now saw

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 ii
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
1t removes all eruptions and dandrutf,
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 yigor,
and will create a new growth, except
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRRssING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair splendid, glossy APP
pearance. A. A. Hayes, MD, State
Assayer of Massachusetts, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and [
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"
