THIS standard article is COM
pounded with the greatest care.
Its effects are as wonderful and
as satisfactory IS ever.
1t restores gray or faded hair to
its youthful color.
1t removes all eruptions, itching
and dandruff. 1t gives the head a
cooling, soothing sensation of great
comfort, and the scalp by its use
becomes white and clean.
By its tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
vigor, preventing badness, and max
ing the hair grow thick and strong.
As a dressing, nothing has been
found so effectual or desirable.

BISHOP WHIPpLE illustrates the cost
of the Indian war rather strikingly.
He recently remarked to a correspon.
dent Of the Omaha Herald that If ten
soldiers were placed in a line with an
Indian at one end, and the American
people could be brought to understand
that in order to secure the scalp OF
that one Indian it would require the
sacrifice of the ten soldiers aud an ex-
penditure of 100000 in money, they
might be led to inquire whether the
scalp was really worth the outlay.

JoHN d. LEE.-The Mormon press
without an exception so far as We
know, not only rejoice at the convic
ton of this monster but also ask in
strong language for the apprehension
and punishment of all the parties i'm.
plicated in the hellish crime. The
Enterprise, mormon paper published
at Beaver, Utah, winds up an articls
on the conviction of Lee as follows:
In the conviction of Lee the country
and the people may be said to have
acted in self defense. Utah, and par.
ticularly this Southern section, has
been and will be held responsible NOR
ally for the massacre till the truly
guilty have been apprehended and
tried at the bar of public justice. The
conviction of Lee, though an impor.
tant step, cannot satisfy the whole ac-
count. 1t was impossible for bin
alone as leader to dispose of 100
people. 1t stands to reason and is
shown also by testimony that others,
who have not been tried, are equally
responsible. These, too, must meet
the demands of justice, as well as Lee.
Tie work must be thorough and com
peie or it were better never to have
touched it. The popular mind must
have sufficient evidence to convince i,
that the prosecution is solely for the
purpose of justice and without partial
aim. This of course will he furnished
in the arrest of all parties implicated,
and their trial conducted, as Lees has
been, in the light of the best evidence
that exists in the country. This we
have every reason to believe will be
done.

declining interest in the war issues

danger that a majority of voters will
come to the conclusion that one party
not having been able to put down the
rebellion, abolish slavery and secure
peace after fifteen years trial. it may
be quite as well to let the other party

him Of the fight, and said the negroes IT.
tended to have reveDge-they Woul B. i
the whites In the night, hide in The day,
and begin again the next night IN OIL
ferent place. On the same day J. X.
Randolph met band OF armed negroes,
who said they intended to murder the
whites, burn their houses and have a
country Of their OVID. There was much
other testimony OF the same sort. Re
viewing the Aiken testimony, we tDd
that the militia company was confessed
ly organic ID to threaten and intimldate,
il not to kill, the whites; that its ON
GERS and members were insolent ana
riotous, ard bullied the whole neighbor-
hood: that threats were made on the
morning Of the fourth against one OF the
two yCU1g men who were halted and
insulted that evening; that the negroes
on the sixth defied the authority Of the
court; that some effort was made to
concentrate force OF negroes in Ham,
burg on the eighth; that the firing was
begun by the negroes, and that not
shot was fired by the whites until after
young Merriwetber had been killed. by
the negroes; that after the not the ne
grOes were louder than ever IN their
threats against the whites. NO one IN
South Carolina Justlnes tne kllllDS Oh tDe
negro prisoners, but with the evidence be-
fore them, as we have briefly given it,
the public must admit that the whites
were actiDg in self-defense in dstermin-
ing to disarm the negroes. The armed
negroes were standing danger to the
whites, whom the law did not project.
They were forced to take such steps as
were necessary for the protection OF
themselves and their families. We have
been particular in reporting and sualyz-
ing the Aiken testimony, because we
tael that the first accounts of the Ham
burg affair, 8s pUDIIshed by the Augusta
papers and ourselves, were unjust to the
white citizens Of Aiken and Edgefald,
in falling to show the measure and pro-
vacation ven them by the armed ne
groes. For the attitude of the whites,
rs the evidence now shows, there was
good reason, if, indeed, the disarming Of
the negroes was not an memorable ne
cessity; and we trust that the newspa.
pers which laid before the public the
statements of the negroes and the evil
dence taken at the inquest, will, il fair
ness to the accused, reproduce the later
developments at the hearing before
Judge Maher last Thursday.
