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 it is kept fully up to
its high standard and it is the on
ly reliable and perfected prepare
ton 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
dandruff, and, by its tonic proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By it's use, tho
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. It is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever
used, as it requires fewer applica-
tons, and gives the hair a splendid,
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,

cellent quality; and l consider it

Massachusetts, Democratic Convention
Resolutions and Nominations

WORCESTER, Mass, Sept. 6. The reso
lutions adopted by the Massachusetts
Democratic convention to-day hail with
satisfaction the action of the late national
council at st. Louis; demand the payment
in coin of the debt represented by legal
tenders as well as the bonded debt; de-
nounce the Republican party for neglect
ing to carry ont the financial policy for the
resumption OF specie payments, and ask
the people 20 entrust to the Democratic
party the accomplishment of this vital
need of our commerce; express gratitude
to the House of Representatives for its
effort to reduce expenses and its resolu-
tons of inquiries into official maladminis-
tration; rejoice in the social order, rapidly
revivinC prosperity and established cordial
relations between the races in the south
wherever Democratic rule extends; de-
nounce the Republican party for the mis-
management of the affairs in the Freed
mems bank and declare it to be the duty
of congress to secure to the sufferers ln-
demnity for their losses. The depression
in trade and commerce is attributed to the
misgovernment Of the Republican party,
and the resolutions finally demand a re
turn from extravaganza TO simplicity and
economy.
The ticket was completed as follows:
Lieutenant Governor, VIM. r. Plunkett;
Secretary of State, Edwin III. Lathrop;
Treasurer. Weston Rowland; Auditor,
John L. Fitzgerald; Attorney General,
Richard Olney. Ex-Gov. CASTOR heads
the electoral ticket.

lack Chandler to be Impeached.

A Washington telegram says the i'm
parchment of Zach Chandler, secretary Of
the interior, and Charles T. Gorham, as
sistant secretary of the interior, will de
mand the immediate attention of the
house Of representatives when congress
assemblies lie December. The evidence
Of their high crimes and misdemeanors-
of deliberate violation of the act of con-
gress in leasing the Shepherd building for
the use of the pension BUREAUS so clear
and conclusive that the facts can be d.
gested by the judiciary committee 10 one
session, and by the house in few hours.
The senate could dispose of the case 10 a
week, and unless the accused should re-
sign, conviction would certainly follow if
the senators have any regard for their
oath. The proof of their guilt is brief,
being mainly documentary and indisput-
able, as it bears the official stamp of the
interior department The facts in the
case show open defiance Of recent clause
10 the Legislative appropriation bill, and
illustrate in most scandalous manner the
hold which Boss Shepherd has on the
president and members of his cabinet and
Republican senators.

Unsettled.

The UHtOR, it seems, does not relish the
subject of TiIden's income tax as much as
it did few days ago. Since the publ
cation of Hayes little irregularity, about
his assessment, that subject isn't as pleas
ant. Instead Of bowling about Tilden's
income and then calmly reposing in the
sweet consciousness of having aunihilated
Tiden, that subject now gives Republican
papers the collie What a glorious thing
they thought they had on Tildenl They
never dreamed that the eminently pious,
this exceedingly good and christian Hayes,
was thief and perjurer. Everybody, in
view OF the heightened articles on honesty
that were written about Tildens income,
expected such eminent journals as the
Union would have something to say.
However The ARGUS does not give up
all hope that the Union will yet give its
opinion of the heavenly Hayes little ir-
regularity when it shall have gotten the
dose well down and settled. We feel for
the Onton in this ITS misfortune. 1t is
such an unusual thing for Republican Off
eials to be caught wronging Uncle Sam
out of a cent that no wonder the Union is
unable to face the stubborn facts taken
from the county records. An iudulgent
public will give it little time to calm its
feelings.

upper end of the county went to the centen-
NAL this summer. The most of them have
returned, we'll pleased. and expect ospend
the next centennial at Hillsdale.
Politics is now being discussed more and
more, every day, since the farmers have
leisure after harvest, to read the papers
and discuss the merits Of the several can

That Campaign Lie.

The infamy of the perjury charge
against Gov. Tilden is indescribable. The
persons who make that charge know from
the documents on which they profess to
base it that it is utterly false. Those doc
uments disclose the fact that the railroad
fees received by Gov. Tilden 10 1862 were
in no sense taxable income under the laws
of the United States, but the receipt of
those fees was simply the collection of a
debt due beiCre the income law went into
effect. The services commenced 10 1857.
The war broke out in 1861. The internal
revenue law was not passed ill July, 1862.
The receipt of those fees was no more tax
able income for that year than would have
been the collection of note taken for land
sold before the war.

CENY AND ARSON,
The Case viii 60 to the Grand Jury.

Many people in this city will remember
Ex-Policeman Gideon l.. Roach-at least
The editor of the Union will, for they used
to be together much of the time. He is
the officer who formerly carried the assis-
tant postmaster editor home from free
lunches, when his legs refused him their
support, and who, after being rewarded
for his kindness by a dish up" in that
paper, returned the compliment by in
vestigating the little editors pantaloons
with the toe of his boot. Yes, he's the
same man. Well, Gid has got into
trouble and Jail. After THE ARGUS
showed him up in his true colors and he
was discharged from the police force,
Gid" it is said, run ranch in
Bushnell and Beardstown until
month or two ago, when he returned to
this city and rented house from Mr. John
G. Gansert. Everything went on smooth
ly for some time, when he had a row with
his wife and sister-in- law, and then the two
packed up and left Gid-returning to
Bushnell. Gid owed Mr.. Gansert some
rent and the latter seized some household
furniture and carpenter tools belonging to
him and held them as security for the
amount due. They were locked up il
warehouse on Fourth avenue, and yes.
terday morning Gid went there with ar
axe and broke in the door for the purpose
of getting his things, or their value, Ard, i
is said, made the remark that if he did no
get them he would burn the id build
ing down." He was finally induced t.
leave, and Mr.. Gansert made complain
against him. and last evening he was ar
rested and lodged in Jail by Policeman
Metsch, where he now is.
His case will be investigated by tn,
grand jury, now in session.
