handed, it is to be selected in the following
manner: The names of the chief justices
of the highest courts in the states are to
be placed in box, and twenty-four of
them drawn out; from these twenty-four
twelve men are to be chosen by lot, on the
day of trial, and these twelve are to be
the jury. The investigation is to be
limited to the validity of the action of the
canvassing or returning board of any state
by whose determination the appointment
of electors was declared to have been made
in receiving, rejecting and counting votes
returned to them, andthe competency, or
eligibility of any persou declared to have
been appointed an elector, or appointed to
fill supposed vacancy in the electoral col
lege, to act as such; and in such investiga-
ton the court shall receive evidence tend
ing to show the forgery, falsity. invalldity,
error, of any certificate of any governor,
canvasser, or other officer whomsoever.
The judgment of the court is to be rendered
within ten days after the verdict or close
of the argument. If the defendant be ad-
judged not entitled to the office, 'he shall
be excluded from it; and if the claimant
be adjudged entitled to it. he may, immedi-
ately on taking the required oath, enter uD,
on the execution of the office"
AS general rule for reviewing and set
ting disputed presidential or vice presi
dental title befor the highest court in the
land, the bill is singularly simple and fair,
But it is framed for a particular purpose
the adjudication of the titles of the
present occupants of these high Offices
and it is for this reason it will be objected
to. 1t is true the complaint of the state
of Maryland ought to be treated with
great respect; but whether this respect
should lead US to review and, perhaps, up.
set condition which the people of the
United States not only have acquiesced in
but are averse to.disturbing:is another ques-
ton. IT there were any serious popular
demand for a trial of Mr.. Hayes title i,
should be complied with. But there is nc
such demand. There is no complaint from
the party aggrieyed by the decision of the
electoral tribunal. Mr.. Hayes has CON
ceded so much to the party
wronged by his installation, and
has done SO much to pacifcate the
country, that even a majority of those who
voted for his opponent would disapprove a
proceeding to unset him. 10 short, the
country is satisfied with Mr., HAYES
whether his title is good or not. and this
fact is formidable argument against Mr..
kimmels measure. Louis Req,

A Perfect Toilet SOAP.

First among the requisites of the toilet is a good
article of Soap, but to procure it is always
easy matter. Many of the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse and deleterious
materials, and their delicate colorng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive i'm
purlties. Tbs disclosures recently made public
regarding this subject are positively startling and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable especial
y if applied to the head injuring the hair irrita
ting the scalp, and inducing severe headaches The
character of the ingredients may be inferred from
the statement of gentlemen who makes the scenta
ing of Soaps his business he recently declared that
persons engaged in this employment were short
lived; from seven 10 ten years being the Longest
lowed
The difficulty of procuring perfectly pure arti-
Gle of toilet soap is at last obviaed, however,
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill of Mr.
Is. I. Babbitt, of New York, the world-renCwued
Soap Manufacturer. whose immense establishment
is by lar the greatest of the kind in the United
States. The renown of Mr.. Rabbits various pro-
auctions has for many years been widely dissem-
mated, but this latest success is the appropriate
crown to the numerous victories already achieved.
After years of patient labor and scientific expert
ment, MIR. Babbitt has succeeded in perfectnk the
composition of the firest toilet soap intro
ouced. The principal ingredients the pprest
vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely new and original and the result is simply
unpAra ieled in this department of industry.
-''B. T. Babbitt's Toilet Soap" is the trade mark
by which this elegant toilet luxury is designated,
and for applications to the delicate skin of infants,
children and ladies, 1t is altogether unequaled in ts
emollient properties This Soap is not perfumed
the ingredients being of such absolute purity a. to
require aid from chemistry to disguise inferior
| materials. The most refined taste considers the
absence of artificial perfume the perfection OF
sweetness, and this peculiar characteristic of b. T.
Rabbits Toilet Soap renders 1t the most healthfu
/ and agreeable article OF the kind ever manufac
| tured
Though specially desirable for the of ladies
and children this Soap is equally appropriate fol
