c. G.. Sink, of Toledo, Ohio, Ia
reporter of the press,) visited us
last week, and promised to return
to town, Ivy steamer Marine City,
in two weeks, for the purpose OF
giving the business interests of the
city and county thorough writing
M. He also informed us that
during his sojourn in our midst he
would deliver lecture on the snb-
iect Of PHILOSOPHY OF the Future
State" which is pronounced to he
the best lecture on the subject ever
delivered in the country.
The Congressional Committee on
Commerce reported adversely on a
resolution of the Michigan Legis-
lature, asking for an a appropria-
ton for lighthouse at the mouth
of Thunder Bay. BY the time q
dozen more vessels have been
wrecked on North Point reef, for
want of fog horn at that place.
Congress will come to the conclu-
sion that few thousand dollars
expended in erecting light house
and fog horn on the reef, will he a
wise expenditure Of the public
funds.

VARIOUS CAUSES.

Advancing years, care, sickness, disap-
pointment, and hereditary predjsposition
all operate to turn the hair gray, and either
of them i%nclines it to shed prematurely
AYERS HAIR V1Go2 will restore faded or
gray, light and red hair to a rich brown or
deep black, as may be desired. 1t softens
and c~leanses the scalp, giving it a healthy
action, andremoves and cures dandruff
and humors. By its use falling ha r is
checked, and a new growth will be pro-
duced in all cases where the follicler are
not destroyed or the glands decayed.
Its effects are beautifully shown in brashy,
weak, or sickly hair, to which a few APP
plications will produce the gloss and
freshness of youth. Harmless and sure
in its operation, it is incompatible as a
dressing, and is especially valued for the
soft lustre and richness of tone it imparts.
1t contains neither oil nor dye, and will
not soil or color white cambria; yet it
lasts long on the hair. and keeps it fresh
and vigorous.

ROW OF PEARLS

Glittering through coral lips is certainly a
pleasing object: but a row Of discolored, be-
specked teeth in any mouth is a grievous
drawback; add to this that such a set o fteeth
is usually accompanied by impure breath
and one can scarcely imagine anything more
Objectionable. SOZODONT, the great pu-
rifier Of the breath and whitener ofthe teeth
obviates this state of the mouth completely,
rescuing its dental occupants from d%estruct.

enamel Of acid secretions in the mouth.

Dodge County Politics.

The Greenback movement in Dodge
county does not appear to pan out
quite as we'll as the leaders expected.
At the mass county convention held at
Juneau last Saturday to elect delegates
to their congressional convention at
Fond du Lac next Thursday, only FIVE
towns of che county were represented
the number Of the masses being exactly
eighteen; most Of these were:old politi.
cal hacks of whom the people long ago
have become tired. Considerable quar-
reling too place over proposition to

strongly in favor of such a movement,

strongly urging him as candidate for
the Republican nomination for mem,
Der of congress from the 9Th dis'rict-
Should three tickets be placed in til e
field it is believed that some popular
Republican might be able to carry of

Matt. HI. Carpenter Interviewed.

The Chicago Times of last Saturday
contained an extended report of an in
terview had by its Washington cor
respondent with ex-senator Matt. H.
Carpenter. 1t must prove interesting
reading to the Milwaukee Sentinel,
which comes In for fair share of at
tention. The belief has been general
~ entertained that the Sentinel and
Mr.. Carpenter had perfect under
standing, and that one had only to read
that paper to ascertain the Ex-Sena :
tors views upon any given subject.
That this is mistake is shown by the
following extracts from the interview
in question:
Cor.-How is the republican ring get
a'ong in Wisconsin?
Mr.. CT know of no such thing as a
ring in the republican party in Wiscon-
sin. Many years ago, Hopkins, Rublee
and Reyes, residing at Madison,-Rublee
being chairman of the state central COM
mlttee, and editor of the State 1oHrnal,-
exerted great influence in the party,
and they and their associates, were called
the Madison regency. Afterwards Hop
kins died, Rublee was appointed to tor
cIgn mission, and the regency passed
away. 1t was popular in those days, for
every one attacking the republican party
in Wisconsin to charge that it was run

Current Opininns.

Indianapolis Journal: There is
more Government money, paper and
coin together, in circulation in the
United States now than there was in
1873 before the panic; more than
three times as much paper money as
there ever was at any time before the
war, and the amount per capita to the
population of the country is considera-
BILE more than twice as great as it was
at the beginning of the war.
Boston Advertiser (Rep.]: The
South Carolina organ is right. There
IS no honorable sentiment, no bond of
genuine patriotism between the North
ern and Southern Democracy; it is
business combination to secure and d.
vide the spoils of Office.
Washington Republican: That
the Nationals or Greenbackers will
enjoy some representation in the next
Congress no one will deny; but what
will become eff them in 1880? In
1879, Jan. LIST, the question of hard
and soft money will be practically and
finally settled. The wind will then
be taken out of their sails. and their
craft will naturally drift listlessly on
the political tides, while its crew will
desert to join one or the other of the
older and more permanent political par
ties.
Inter Ocean: M. Halstead is out
with directions how to run Grant for
third term this year. He is too impa-
tent to wait another year. He wants
Indiana to decide the whole question
voting by proxy. He says: "The
case can't be made up so as to bring
Grant before the people right away
and full-breasted. Let US have the
popularity that is claimed for Grant
put to the proof" The editor of the

An Unfair Shake.

We alluded last week to the
change of representation made by
the committee for the coming Re-
publican congressional convention
in this district. A further investi-
CATION shows that the plan adopted,
besides being cumbersome, is also
unfair. Following is table giving
the population of the different coun-
ties in the district, according to the
last census, and the number of dele
gates to which they will be entitled:
Population. No. of Delegates
Dane, 52798 ~
Jefferson, 349OS 80
Columbia, 2s8O3 3.
Sank, 26332 26
1t will thus be seen at a glance
how unequally the scheme is ar
ranged. Columbia county, with
5000 less population than Jefferson
county, has one more delegate than
we have; while Dane, with a popu-
lation only 1900 below Sank and
Columbia combined has IS less dele
gates than those two counties. I'm
der the old order of things, Jefferson
county had s delegates to Colum-
bias 6 and Danes 10. There was
some equality in this and no occas-
ion for complaint. Who conceived
the new arrangement, and what the
object of it is we are not advised,
nor do we understand where the
committee found its authority for
unsettling the good old rule under
which conventions have always been
called. Perhaps, however, Jeifer-
son county ought not to complain,
if the two members of the commit
tee from Dane are satisfied with
seeing its representation slaughter
ed in this way. They must have
figured with their eyes shut, or been
asleep when they signed the call as
it stands at present.

The StateRcgister Of last week has an
article entitled "who shall be our next
congressman. II names the follow
Ing gentlemen as those who have
been spoken of in connection with the
nomination. Hon. l.. w. Barden and
Hon. j. Bowman, Of Columbia; Hon.

Some of them, however, we happen to
know are not candidates. The conven-
ton cannot exercise too much care in
its election of q nominee. The man
who can poll the most votes should be
seIected, and we trust the delegates
will SO decide, without reference to the
matter of location or any other consid-
Grafton aside from the question of
strength. We cannot afford 10 take
any chances in this district at this
time. We have no members Of con
gress to lose, and it will be criminal,
almost, if the convention leaves the
question of availability out of sight.

PICKEN's COURT HOUSE, South

thought of giving up the United

Carolinians will find it impossible to

THE recent election in North Caro-
lima, according to letter received at
Washington, fixes the political COM
plexion Of the State Legislature as
follows: Embellishments, so; Re-
puolicans, II; Independents, 3; doubt
full 5. House-Democrats, e.; Re-
publicans, 50; Independents and Ma
tionals, 6; doubtful, g. This gives
the Democrats a majority of % 90
joint ballot, after conceding all the
doubtful districts (l4) to the Republi-
cans.
SUCH items as these are very sug-
sestive, and Southern papers are full
OF them. People in the North can
not be too mindful of that kind of
talk. This comes from the Okolona

The New York World, in the ex-
uberance Of its spirits, and its gratii
cation over the result Of the Alabama

The main interest attaching to this cleo
ton, therefore, is on account of this dis
banding of the Republican party which
four years ago cas-. 81, coo votes and in 1876
something over 6S, 900. In Texas, Arkan-
ass, Mississippi and Georgia, the two Caro-
liuas and Virginia the Republican party no
longer exists as formal organization. The
result " hen the votes for Congressman 10
November come to be counted up will be
something even more surprising than that
indicated last year, and will show that on
the popular vote the country is Democratic
by majority literally to be reckoned by
millions. -.-ss.e..

A Significant Admission.

Here is straw that shows which
way the Southern wind blows: Among
the huge pile of bills introduced DUR
ing the last session of Congress for
Southern claims for damage to private
property during the war, was one
from the William and Mary College of
Virginia whose building for time
was occupied by officers of the Union
army, its teachers and students having
gone into the rebel army. His failure
to pnsh this claim, during the last
session, is prominent cause of COM
plant against Mr. Goode, the Demo
cratic member of Congress for that
district. He has been explaining mat
ters lately, giving his reasons for not
pushing that claim bill. He declared
that "the Northern people are pecul-
iarly sensitive on the subject of South
ern war claims, and hence he thought
it wise to put the bill over to the next
session, when, as [ have reason to be-
lieve, there will be better prospect
of success" That is what the VIII ole
South believes, and It's faith will be
seen to have been we'll grounded if
the Democrats carry the elections this
Fall.
HE Jefferson Banner must have
peculiar notions of fairness, and pre-
sumo greatly on the ignorance of its
readers and their want Of comprehen-
sion, when it finds space in its columns
for such twaddle as the following:
In the trial of Russ Wheeler, the gam.
bier last week in Milwaukee. for killing
another gambler, Gov Lndington testified
that he had known Wheeler intimately for
! many years. When Ludington run for
Governor We charged him with being the
| associate of gamblers, and that he rented his
large block on Wisconsin st. to gamblers
and prostitutes. This was Indignantly de-
MED by the republicans. Now the Cover
nor swears that the charge was true.
