Beautiful Hair,

FROM j. A. TYNEs, WELL KNOWN
CITIZEN OF WILSON, N, C,-My wife had
suffered for ten or twelve years with
kind of dry letter, which kept the scalp
covered with dandruff, and caused her
hair to fall out and get very thin and
turned grey, but after using London
Hair Color Restorer," the letter was
cured and the grey hair restored to its
natural color, the hair stopped falling
out and is growing beautifully. By
telling of the effect it had on the head
of my wife / have induced a number
to try it, and want you to send me q
dozen bottles by express. / enclose
postoffice order for IS to pay for it.
London Hair Color Restorer is sold at

Condoning Political Offences one thing
compromising felony is another
and different matter.
(Fr0m New YorkiHerald.l

1t is rumored that the President has
written a strong letter to Attorney General
Devens which contains expressions show
ing that he is incensed and indignant at
the Returning Board prosecutions lie is
represented 70 have denounced them in
that letter as u fragrant breach of faith,
and to have inquired OF his law adviser if
means cannot be found for foiling the
Louisiana courts. How did the admins
tration of criminal justice in Louisiana
come within the official purview of the
President of the United States? Not by
the constitution, certainly; not by the En-
forcemelt law, which is intended merely
to protect people of color, for neither An
derson nor w ellis are prosecuted on grounds
having any relation to race, color or pre-
vious condition of servitude." From
what source, then, does the President de
rive his authority to interfere? Why
should he concern himself with the ad-
mlnlstratlou OF penal justice iu Louisiana
any more than with the administration
OF penal justice in Massachusetts, Ii
there was bargain on this subject the
constitution does not authorize or sanction
such bargains. If bargains were made,
and the president was party to them,
they we're extra constitutional aud extra
legal private arrangements, which supply
no foundation for official action. 1t is said
that the president quotes 10 his letter to
the attorney general the following resou-
ton, passed last spring by the Louisiana
legislature
DESTROYS of healing the dissensions that have dis
turbed the state in years past and anxious that thu
citizens OF oil political parties may be free from
feyerish anxietics Of political strife and Join hand
In honestly restoring the prosperity of Louisiana
the Nichols government Will discountenance an
attempted persecution from any quarter or in
dividuals for past political conduct
Conoedlng that this was binding pledge
and supposing that President Have
adopted his southern policy in consequence,
of it, and not in pursuance of his letter o.
acceptance, inaugural address, and sens
Of right, the question arises whether tn
pledge is violated by the returning boar
prosecutions. THE Nichols governmen
will dlscountenanee persecution of ind
viduals for political offences" Does tn
phrase political offences" include crime
against the law? If Louisiana ruffian ha
uSute9ered negro at the polls to proven
nun IRON voting would that have been
mere political offence" which the officers
the law are restrained from prosecuting

DIR. T.T. and the Associated Press.

Under the date of April 10Th the Bangor agent
of the Associated Press sent a despatch which sp-
peared in the newspapers the next day containing
statements prejudicil to the character of the Rev
Dr. Il. F. Teil' late proprietor of the Northern
Border newspaper The charges therein made
were substantially that DE-. Tetit had been indict-
ed at the Febrnary term of the Suareme Court at
Bangor for detrauding parties induced to invest
in the Northern Border, among them ope Eli Rig
by, who complained that he was ssindled out OF
his homestead and farm in Upper Saltwater tor
worthless newspaper stock; and that the doctor
had also been guilty of iregu larties while acting
executor of his sisters estate in Owego, New
York, and been indicted therefor. Ii was iurth, +
stated that Higby had secured settlement by
which his farm had been restored to him, and that
New York officers had found Dr. Tetit at Lewis
ton, and that he had settled with his Owego bonds
men.
To these charges Dr. TetTt made reply through
the columns OF the Lewiston journal that every
material allegation was absolutely false, and that
the despatch was full of ialsehoods of calumni-
Gus and criminal character and of gross blunders
almost as la as crimes. The Bangor Associated
Press Agent, Capt. &. A. Boutelle. now rises to
defend his disp tch, and in leading article III
Wednesday, Wing shows by the deeds them
selves that Eli Rgby did mortgage his farm to
Mrs b. +. Teift TO secure certain notes for $1,000
given for Northern Border stock. and subsequent
ly conveyed it outright to Dr. Tents daughter.
lie also shows by copy of the record that DIR.
Tetft was Indicated by the Grand jury At the Feb
uarv term st the Supreme Court for defrauding
Eli Righy by false represe ntations regarding the
Northern Border newspaper, and furthermore he
proves by the deed that DR.. Tefft's daughter di /
reconyev TO Mr.. Rigby his farm, and that too for
$1,000, Just the amount Of the notes he had given
for the newspaper stock. With regard to the
Owego matter the Press agent publishes copies Of
thee indictments found in the Court of oyer and
Termner, of the county Of Tioga in New York
against DR.. Tetft for obtaining money under false
pretenccs from the legatees of Laura J. Norton of
whose estate he was executor, ard also copy Of
the application Of the District Attorney Of Tioga
county for requisiton founded on these indie
ments, which application was granted
This answer amply justliies the Bangor agent
despatch. 1t shows that it was founded not upon
hearsay nor GU the unsupported testimony OF any
party, but upon the strongest Kind of dOcumenta-
~ evidence. To mpeach its truthlulness one
must inpeach the records the courts and registry
Of deeds.

Improbable Stories.

NEW YORK, May 2. An improbable story has
reached Washington that 5000 Irish are enrolled
and ready to leave New York city at moment,
notice, IN transport. to attack some point in
New Brunswick or Nova Scotia under tue Rus
sian or Fenisn flag, IN case war is declared be-
tween England and Russia. Another improbable
story is that several Thousand Irish have been
partly engaged to go to Russia and labor on the
public works, but really to enlist in the Russian
army.
A statement comes from Philadelphia that
joint stock company is foim ming there to purchase
fast steamer and ht her out as privateer uuder
the Russian flag, also that letter of marque has
such movement.
A Weak Case.
1t is now stated that the case against Psymsster
Carter is so weak that there is no respectable
charge against him. The Senate committee will
report iavoiaby on his nomination, and he will be
confirmed as Paymaster. General OF the navy.

CONSIDERATION OF THE NEU-
TRALITf LAW.
The Presumed Purpose of the ~ amer
Cimbria.

NEW YORK, May 2. The llerald's Washing
ton despatch says the President will take the ut
most care and every possible precsut:on to prevent
violations of neutrality if war is declared, but un-
III this event happens there will of course he no
interference OF any kind to prevent the purchase
of ships arms or machinery or outfit and man
ming OF vessels N our potts by any who choose
10 spend money 10 that way.
The CImbria waits 10 Southwest Ilarbor proba-
bly, because her commander has learned that the
ships he was to man and turn into Russian men of
war, are not ready for him, ard at a lonely pot
on Mount Desert he can keep his crews more
cheaply, and with less Of risk from desertion.
1t would not surprise persons in authority if
part OF the Russians on the Cimbna should pres
entyb shipped to California, via Pacific Rail
road, as it is known there are two staunch and
fleet steamers 10 be obtained on the Pacific coast
one OF them quite new, which would, it is be-
heved, answer tue purpose of the Russians.
