The War Goes On.
[Cincinnati Enquirer |

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.--During the recess
the work Of solidifying the party against the
President is being pushed with even more en-
ergy because Of the recent victory in the New
York cases. The Republican Senators are not
to be contented either with their victory or
crate class. One of the chief Anti-Administra-
tion Senators says the only comprcmise now
possible Is the overthrow of Schurz, Evarts
and Key; and this he says will no doubt
be secured, when at the reassembling of Con-
gress Stanley Matthews will be solitary and
alone on the side of the President. Influences
are set up in Massachusetts to meet HOar
and Dawes on their holiday visit home and
induce them to change their course. Burn
side is to be treated to the same kind Of a
reception. Christiancy, it is claimed, is al
ready won over. This small guard have been
given something Of an excuse by the Presi-
dent telling them that he wanted them to un-
your satisfaction that have nominated an
unfit man, you will do me favor by helping
to reject him. Do not hesitate for moment
to do so, and do not believe that / shall be
offended, but the contrary" 1t is probable he
will send special message to Congress, soon
after 1t re-assembles on reform in the civil
service. Meantime he is known to have said
that he is not looking after second term,
and that he has no desire for or need of per-
sonal party therefore; that he has but few
measures to propose, and those, in his opin-
ion, not only necessary for the public good
but having the favor Of the people, and that
he will do his duty in proposing and recon-
mending them, and leave Congress to do it's
will in the consideration of them; that as to
the Senate rejects them, that will be pretty
certain, by and by, to attract the attention of
the public, which will doubtless form a Just
judgment in the matter.

False Hair.

False hair, for. ladies' wear, being recog-
nized as a necessity Of modern social exist
ence, the want must be somehow supplied
But live hair, hair bought, to use the tech
nicad phrase, "on foot the hair of girls
and women bribed to submit their locks to
the shears - grows annually scarcer and
dearer. When the modest demand for tresses
was influenced by a few elderly danes In
need Of wigs, the supply was easily secured
by agents who bargained with the peasant
maids of Brittany and Auvergne. Paris alone
would now consume all, and more than all, of
the available. capillary crop in France; and
Marseilles, the present centre OF the hair
trade, deals with Spain. the East, and espe-
cially the two Sicilies, for the forty tons of
dark hair which she annually makes up into
$4,000 chignons.
dead hair has something of a sinister,
sepulchral sound but as without 1t the cheap
curls, fronts and chignons could not be made
at the price, it may be comfortable that the
original owners OF the raw material are, as
likely as not, alive and we'll. Ragpickers value
no unconsidered waif and stray Of the street
shortof gold ring and silver spoon, SO high
ly as the clotted combings of female
hair, soon to be washed with bran and potash,
carded, sifted, classed and sorted. There are,
commercially seven cOlors of hair and three
degrees of length. Much dead hair enters
into the cheaper of the three hundred and
fifty thousand "pieces" annually made in
France. The dearest chignons cost some five
and twenty pounds; the cheapest, fiftieth
part of that amount. England is the best
consumer, and close upon her heels comes
America.

COLUMBIA, Tuesday, Dec. 18.-t is now
settled that the anxiously looked for report
of the Bond Commission will not be presented
to the General Assembly until after the holi-
day recess, and perhaps not before February.
The leading points of the report, however, so
far rs have been decided upon to this time,
are as follows: The amount of consolidated
bonds which will not belong to any particular
class, but will be designated here and there, as
they may have been exchanged for old securi-
ties. The report of the commission will be a
summary of their findings, giving the num-
berS and classes of the securities for
which consols were issued, which the COM
mittee deem wholly or partially tainted with
fraud, but will not contain the numbers OF the
consolidated bonds for which such fraudulent
securities were exchanged. The commission
will recommend in their report that the con-
soils issued for those fraudulent securities be-
repudiated or scaled, as the case may be, and
should the General Assembly adopt hese re-
ports, a subsequent report will be submitted,
containing the numbers and classes OF the
consolidated bonds which they recommend to-
be repudiated or scaled because of such fraud
ulent conversions. Thus the committee ex-
poct that, even after their first report shall
have been made public, it will be impossible
to locate the fraudulent bonds without going
through exactly the same work which has
taken the commission months to PERFORM
This course is doubtless adopted to prevent
speculation in the bonds until after the Gen.
eral Assembly shall have taken final action.

lima were at stake. 1t was not congo
nial to my nature, for I have no ambition
for the notoriety which comes Of that kind of
abuse, and do not think that anything in my
past history jnstifies it. But | take my seat
without feeling of resentment to those who
have done me this gross injustice / shall
bury the wrongs which have been done me in
the past whenever recollection or revival of
them shall conflict with the interests of the
people of this State committed to my care /
have. only this to say, that while have de-
termined not to be betrayed into personal re-
elimination against the men, the Senators of
the United States, who have cowardly at
tackled me when | was disarmed and unable
to defend myself, now that / am their peer
upon the floor Of the Senate, hope they will
not repeat it. Continued cheering II they
do repeat 1t, take my word for it, will give
them as good as they send Renewed cheer
ingl will add that can never. consent to
degrade myself to the level of brutality,
cowardice and blackguardism which charac-
terized their conduct toward me.
