the desire of the Western people that their
fellow-citizens here In the District should
be oppressed with the burden Of sys-
tenn of taxation that rightfully should
be borne in part by Others, nor do we be-
lieve they would be content that the Amer
lean Capital should retrograde into the hog
hole and quagmire IL was before the war.

1T is evident that the Democrats have
determined, come What may, that there
shall be no fair, full, and thorough invcsti-
CATION of the frauds, intimidatiOns, and as
sassinations that characterized the last
Presidential election. They think they are
preparing dynamite cartridges for the occa-
sion when they are only filled with putty.
Such frauds never prosper. They will be
hooted at by every good citizen in the

THE Dayton (O.) JJHradi thinks 1t takes
" large portion of the time of Congress to
" legislate for the District of Columbia All
" the territories in the Union put together
don't require one-tcnth the Congressional
" labor which is devoted to that patch of
" ground only ten miles square" All Of
which is only true in part But the journal
should remember that the people of the
Territories are allowed to make their own
laws and govern themselves under slip
shod kind Of Congressional supervision. The
comparison is therefore unjust, for WASH
ingtou and the District is Part and parcel
OF the entire country, the official residence
ot the governments for the States as well a.
the Territories, and the center of national
interest and observation. Besides, we have
1000 residents here, composed in part of
citizens from all sections of the country,
none of whom, from closer observation than
the Journal enjoys, will admit that Con-
gress wastes much time, except in frivolous
debate and fruitless attempts to learn some
thing of our wants, in the actual legislation
shows that District day." rs it is called, in
the House. is almost invariably gobbled up
by some earnest Representative whose sole
idea of duty is to get y Roads appropria-
ton through Congress for the benefit OF his
own immediate constituents.

Mr. LAPHAM, of New York, does not
propose to leave the country delenseless
under the Democratic policy of cutting
down the force of the regular army. He
has introduced a bill which proposes to per-
nit the President to increase the army TO
10000 men by enlsting volunteers during
the recess of Congress, in case of necessity
for greater force, and which is wise, pru-
dent, and timely in view Of the possibilities.

UNDER the very Inappropriate beading
of "An Appeal to Common Sense our
Democratic cotemporary declares that the
POTTER resolution is not intended "to in
quire why people voted nor how they voted,
but simply why and how, after the people
had cast their ballots, they were robbed of
the result of their election by infamous
Republican leaders and the returning
boards This is very frank admission
of Democratic disregard of the serious
charges that have been made against that
party of intimidation, conspiracy, and muir
der to prevent free exercise of the right Of
suffrage by Republicans; but it is charac-
teristic Of it. No matter how much cheat
ing was done or attempted in Oregon,
or how many murders were committed
in Mississippi to vitiatc the claims o.
TILDEN, the investigation must, for the
protection of the Democracy, be
confined to Florida and Louisiana, in which
States i. is suspected Republicans may
have attempted to offset Democratic frauds
by lighting fire with fire. We say sus-
pected simply because no one has yet had
the tcmerity to accept MCLTN's statements
or the vague rumOS about Louisiana u,
substantial allegations. But the Republi.
cans meet the Democracy more than hall
way in this matter. They are willing t.
investigate these suspicious, and anxious to
punish the guilty, if they be true. But
they are not willing ito make fish of on,
"and fowl Of another They propose to 60
for all the suspected sralps, no matter
whether Democratic or Republican head
are made sore thereby.

When these words were spoken by
our lamented Lawrence, it must have
been a solemn time for those on board
and probably not dry eye among
them, seeing their commander mortal
ly wounded, and still giving orders like
the above; but uOt more solemn then
when the family physician informs
you that some one of your family has

Iected, will eventually terminate III

Baautiful Hair.

FROM J. A. TYNEs, A WELL KEoWs
CITIZEN OF WILSON, N, O,-My wife had
suffered for ten or twelve years with a
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 number
to try it, and l want you to send me a
dozen bottles by express. l enclose
postoffice order for So to pay for it.

Liver Is King.

The Liver is the imperial organ of
the whole human system, as it controls
the life, health and happiness of man.
When it is disturbed in its proper
action, all kinds of ailments are the
natural result. The digestion Of food,
movements of the heart and blood,
the action of the brain and nervous
system, are all Immediately connected
with the workings OF the Liver.
1t has been successfully proved that
Green's August Flower is unqualled in
curing all persons afflicted with Dyspe-
psia or Liver Complaint, and all the
numerous symptoms that result from
au unhealthy condition of the Liver
and Stomach. Sample bottles to try
10 cents. Positively sold and in all
towns on the Western Continent.
Three doses will prove that 1t is just
what you want.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1878-11-01

Our candidate for Representative to the
State legislature, DR.. James F. Todd, has,
if possible, greatly increased his standing
and hold upon the democracy Of this county
by his efficient course in the canvass, and his
manly, open, and digni6ed bearing before
the people. He has addressed the citizens
at various points in both ends of the
county, and has spoken with good effect;
his advocacy of democratic principles has
been strong, logical, and replete with good
sense, qualities which will make him q
popular, influential, aud useful member Of
the House. Of his election there is nc
doubt, Democrats, make it doubly sure
by Pumping these votes solid, without {
scratch or a swap.

What win You CAM

The above question, which at this time
is important and extremely pertinent to
the issues in this and Henry county,is pro-
pounded by that sterling and reliable
journal the Kewanee Independent;it makes
the following sensible and strong point:
We would ask democrats who have con
templated voting the greenback ticket. if
there are any such, what they expect TO
gam by such course? Suppose they
should by any possibility elect Haney to
congress (which is an impossibility), what
could be accomplished that may not be ex.
