Every year increases the populari.
ty ofthis 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 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 I
and clean. Itremoves all eraptions
and dandruG 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. Itis 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,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the Best PREpA-
RATION for its intended purposes

WASHINGTON. Feb. 3, 500 P. MOI the
Committee on Privileges and Elections, Nor
ton, Logan, Mitchell, and Anthony vote 70,
admitting Pinchback. Alcorn, Wadleigh,
Salisbury and Hamilton would reject him.
Carpenter who is still away opposes his re-
coguition. The committee cannot report
with recommendations in Carpenters
absence, but they will report to the caucus
without recommendation. The special Sen
ate Caucus Committee on Southern affairs
have already agreed to accept Pinchback' S
credentials, and Morton hopes through their
report to the full Senatorial caucus to make
all Republican Senators commit themselves
in its favor.
3l5 P. M.-We have had an exciting
scene. Butler speaking upon his pet Civil
Rights bill. Spoke of the Southern people as
rufians, horse-thieves, murderers and assas-
sins.
Mclean, of Texas, said, not to the House
but to Butler: "The only murderer know on
this floor is the gentleman from Massachu-
Butler was furious; members left their seats;
dozen were talking at once; the utmost
confusion prevailed.
At last Mclean stating that he had misap-
pretended Gen. Butler, withdrew the often
sive remark; but Butler, with great emphasis,
growing pale with excitement, said: "The
gentleman has called me murderer because
hanged man in New Orleans. 1t would
have been better if I had hanged great
many more
Mr.. Lamar, greatly excited, asked if such
language as Gen. Butler had used was to be
permitted?
The Chair ruled that since the retraction
had been made there should be no further
discussion. A. S. H.

IN Coushatta. The negroes who were thre at.
ening Brownsville becoming alarmed, were
permitted to disperse unframed, and the out
ragged citizens arrested Robert Devices. Homer
Twitchell. Gice Csne Clark Holland, w. F.
Howell, Henry Scott and fifteen negroes, all Of
whom were placed under guard.
| The move of the negroes on Brownsville
entirely disconnected the plot of Devices, Ed
gerton and Twitchell to set them on the
white people during the dancing party, as the
forces they expected to assemble for that hell
| lsh purpose were drawn off to Brownsville.
The news of the trouble in Red River
parish spread to great distance and armed
| citizens from all the neighboring parishes
| and even from the border counties in Texas,
came down to Coushatta
The prisoners became alarmed at the storm
| OF indignation their teaching had provoked
and offered on their own accord to resign
their offices and leave the State forever if the
citizens would guard them as far as Shreve-
port, where they could take the cars. Their
proposition Was accepted, they selected their
own guard and commander and their own
route Of travel. They desired that NJ. G.
Wallis, brother-in-law of Twitchel, should
leave with them and he consented to do So
At o'clock, on Sunday morning. the pris-
oners and their guards left Coushatta, riding
as rapidly as possible in the direction of
Shreveport. They proceeded quietly and I'M
interruptedly until they reached Campobello
plantation, thirty miles out from Coushatta,
when they met body of horsemen, number
ing two hundred, on their way to Coushatta
These men overpowered the guard, took pos
session OF the prisoners, and in spite of the
earnest protest of the guard, shot Devices,
Elgerton and Twitchell on the spot. The
guard renewed their efforts to save the other
three, but in vain The captors carried off
Willis, Howell and Holland. The negro pris-
oners were admonished to give over their evil
habits of bushwhacking white men and auo,oed
to depart. Not a hair Of their heads ,cas injured
1t should be remembered in this connection
that the parish court, the only tribunal having
jurisdiction over the crime COMM. ted by
those wicked men in instigating the negroes
to shoot, murder and rob, was presided over
by a creature of Devices, and that the iury
that would have tried the case must, owing
to their numerical preponderance, necessarily
have been composed OF the very negroes who
were armed and marching on Brownsville.
And let us also remember that had not the
negroes through some chance diverged from
the path leading to Coushatta, and gone to
Brownsville, the Radical party would to-day,
instead OF being engaged in the futile work of
making sainted martyrs of these fends in
human shape, find themselves charged with
the unpleasant task of covering up the bloody
graves of women and innocent children
butchered by brutal negroes.

A RAID on A GAMBLING HE'LL.
Ninety-0ne Negroes Taken In.

Last night about 1870 P NJ, Sergeant
Vankirk, seeing the necessity of breaking up
the negro gambling and dance houses in the
back of town, detailed about thirty men and
proceeded to the notorious den, 80 Dryades
street, kept by Jos. Sportuna, alias Joe Seph,
where the greatest scene of confusion and
riot was seen.
The audience was composed of the lowest
class of negroes both male and female There
were seventy-fve negro men and sixteen va
grant negro women, ranging in age from six
teen to fifty years. Sergeant Vankirk formed
them into squads Of about thirty each and
dispatched a guard of sufficient force with
each squad until he succeeded in clearing the
den of all who were participating in the
games, as we'll as the men and women who
entice others into that cesspool of iniquity.
When brought to the station various i'm
plements of war were found upon them, such
as razors, knives and sticks, which were taken
charge of by the officer in charge. The sta
ton presented quite novel appearance with
Linety-one prisoners at one time. The cells
not being sufficient to hold the gang of ma
turalized citizens they were pushed pell-mell
into the passage between the cells and court
This is good beginning, and if Sergeant
Vankirk will only go on in this good work, he
will receive the thanks of the community.
A word to the wise is sufficient Sergeant,
look to Joe Pease
