IL Is apparently gaining strength every
day and the parties having 1t in charge
are in no hurry, under the circuinstan-
ces, to push IL to a vote. Nearly all the
Republicans and many OF the Demo.
cratic Senators have expressed their in
tention of voting for the bill and letting
1t go though without amendment
The colored man and brother don't
have avery pleasant time az a Congress
man. There arc six of them in the
House and they seem to be left very
MUCH to themselves. They are quiet,
well-hehaved men, who are always
found in their seats, and do not obtrude
themselves upon the notice OF the House
unnecessarily, and in these respects
they set good example which many of
their white brathern of the House
would do well to follow, The seat Of
one OF these oolOred members, Jere
HarolsOn, of Alabama, is contested aud
strong effort will be made tn oust
him, The plan is for the committee on
privileges and elections TO adopt rule
to throw out all votes that were procur-
ed by bribery, and then trump up
enough of such votes "to throw the
id niger out !" though this would
require the throwing ont of 1900 votes
1t is thought not improbable that he
will be unseated. This man, who now
represents the first district of Alabama,
comprising six counties, was sold as a
slave on the auction block in the city
Of Columbus, is only 20 years old and
educated himself after he was emanci-
pated in 1863 He deserves some cred
it even If he is a Negro, and he is the
Dlackest of them all.
The Democratic majority of the House
is getting deeper and deeper in the
mire of their blunders every day. They
are an ill-disciplined, badly handled
set of raw recruits, and are rapidly los.
ing confidence in their self-cOnstituted
and incompetent leaders. Half the
time they don't know how to vote until
some bell.weather of the flock sets the
example, when they go tumbling after
him like flock of sheep jumping over
a shadow. They are not making any
political capital by the crude and lily
digested measures which they are try
ing to pass, and between the corrective
influences of the Senate and the well
trained minority Of the House they may
not be able to do much damage to the
country after all. NoTUs.

T" The MOllies.O

On Friday of last week, great excite
ment was manifested among our peo.
pie on learning that one of the priso-
ners in our county jail, charged with
the murder Of j. P. Jones, had been
" squealing," and that some five or six
arrests had taken place of parties i'm
plicated in the Jones murder and that
Of Policeman Yost, t,of Tamaqua, which
occurred on the morning of the 9TH Of
July last. The names of tho parties
arrested are as follows Alex, Camp
bell, OF Ashton, as being implicated in
the murder Of j. P. Jones, was placed
in the Mauch Chunk jail Hugh No
Geshan, Of Summit Hill, James Boyle
and James Rority, of CoaldaIe, James
Carroll, of Tamsqua, and Thomas
Duffy, of Reeyesdale, we're captured
charged with being implicated in the
murder Of officer Yost, and taken 10 the
Pottsville Jail, II this /" squealing" of
one of the " MollieS" shall only have
the effect of breaking up this gang OF
lawless desperadoes, who for SO many
years have been terror in the mining
regions, then indeed will a great
victory have been achieved. The evi-
dence is said to be conclusive against
the parties acc used, and our earnest
wish is that, If it De so, and they are
proven guilty, their punishment be such
as to strike terror into the hearts of the
rest OF The gang, AID 50 deter them
from committing other crimes

Mr.. BLAINE yesterday placed his
rapier squarely between the ribs of his

was insisting on the magnanimity and

death of Union officers, soldiers OF
agents who should be captured circu.

REVIEWER.

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 dandruf,
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 a 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-
rearance. 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"
