London, Nov ga special from
Dakka dated Monday, at seven in the
morning, says: Leaving Ali Musjid in
charge of British regiment, General
Brown pushed on, the head men of the
hill tribes coming out on the route to
congratulate him and pay their respects
to Lundikna, thirteen miles off,
where the advance force bivouacked.
Major Covagnari rode on to Dakka,
which place he reached at seven O'Clock
Saturday evening, the Kahn of Lalpoor
meeting kim to offer submission. At
dawn Sunday morning the Britih
troops resumed their march, arriving
at Dakka at noon, to lind that deserted
fort had been plundered by neighboring
tribes.
The British advance has now reached
the frontier of Afghanistan proper, de-
stroying by its successes the ameer's au-
thority in the dependent territory,
thirty miles in width-from Jamrood
to Dakka. The flying Afghan army, in
its efforts to escape, has been plum
dered of everything, the country hav-
ing risen against it, refusing it shelter.
The news is confirmed that Jellalabad
has been evacuated, and the garrison is
in headlong flight towards Cabul.
Mahomed shot Kahn, chief of Kala
phor, hitherto head of the Mohmunds.
Ameer's allies have placed him in
Major Covagnari's hands.
The nomad tribes, who were prepar-
ing for flight, have remained, and are
bringing in supplies. Villagers go
about their daily work with utmost un-
concern, while our army is passing.
General Roberts has reached a point
half way between Hazaripar and Kur-
um fort. He met with no resistance.
General Biddulph entered Pisheen

FROM j. A. TYNEs, A WELL KNOWN
CITIZEN OF WILSON, N, C,--My wife had

turned grey, but after using London

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 l want you to send me a
dozen bottles by express. l enclose

What have the Republicans done for the
finances Of the country that the people
should place implicit confidence 10 their
promises and. declarations2 The history or
Republican financial legislation takes al
the wind out of their brag and leaves their
pledges as empty as punctured gas Dag.
The Republicans, at the instance and ur-
gent solicitation of Secretary Chase, issued
the first legal tenders in FEBRUARY, 1862,
an act which was wise and made Chase
famous, One year after they established
the national banking system, which has
proved unusually proftible to capitalists
and shrewd fuanciers, and seems to have
been been devised for their special benefit.
Indeed, they could hardly have invented a
more costly and cumbrous method of pro-
viding the people with currency, nor q
scheme better calculated to advance the
interests OF capitalists. They issued bonds
payable in the legal-tender currency OF the
country. In 1870 they declared that these
bonds should be paid 10 "coin," which at
chat time was composed of silver and gold.

which we're held for the most part by capt.
talists in this country and in Europe. lD
1873 they demonetized silver, robbing It
of its purchasing and debt-paying power
and making an immense contraction in
prices of gil kinds-an act which was terri
bly, unjust to the poor and debt-owing
classes, and was one of the active causes OF
the panic of 1873.
The demonstration of silver was effected

holders, who. when silver had deprecated
in consequence OF the action of Germany,
wanted their pay in gold. The bonds al
first payable in legal tenders were now un-
derstood to be payable in gold, and John
Sherman declared that they were so.
Thus every act of Republican financial leg
islation has been in the interests of capt.
talists at the expense of the people. Hon
est money forsooth! After the panic. which
resulted almost solely from pernicious Re
publican management of the national tinan-
ces, and followed closely after by the de-
monetization of silver, the Republican
Congress spent months in trying to devise
some means for relieving the business ne

whatever except to vote to resume specie

Democratic Demagogism.

When the greenbacks were issued
az a war measure, the Democrast
voted against them in Congress, de
nounced them in their press, and de-
clared them unconstitutional in their
conventions. After the war was
over the Democratic Judges Of the
Supreme Court gave an opinion
against their conStitutionality. And
now, when an issue that was Justified
by the Republicans only on the
ground of military necessity, and
which was pronounced by the Dem
ocrats uniuStifiable, even on that
ground, is within half of per cent.
of par, and the Treasury is prepared
to redeem it according to law, the
Democrats demand its unlimi ted
continuance and its unlimited in
crease. When il was necessary, they
opposed it; when it is less neces-
sary, they support it. They are 0p.
posed to greenbaclts in time of war,
when the public credit is strained to
its utmost tension. They are In
favor of them in time of peace, when
the public credit is at the highest
point. When opposition to the
greenbacks embarrassed the Govern
ment the Democrats opposed them
when their continuance can be dis
pensed with they support them. The
greenback,,was Republican measure;
but coupled with its issue was the
pledge OF the national faith that it
should never exceed a fixed amount,
and that it should he redeemed at
the earlies period practicable. I'm
der that pledge and with a wise sys-
tenn of finance it has rendered an inn
pOrtant office in supplying currency
and in facilitating the operations of
the Government. Under that pledge
and with that system it has now
nearly reached the period fixed for
its retention and to postpone that
period and to increase the Issue, as
the Democracy now demand, would
be violation of the principles gifts
origin, as well as Of all sound tinan-
cial policy.

Important Surgical Operation.

DIR. w. +. Fundenberg, of Cum
berland, Md, who is spending the
summer with us, on last Tuesday
operated upon Mr.. ono. CHASER,
aged 40, of Woodbury., Bedford Co.,
for the removal of his right eve, the
sight of which was entirely destroyed
when only six years old from a
severe attack of scarletfever. The
eye never gave him any pain, but
recently the sight of the other eye
began to fail, and at this time is al
most lost. The removal of the bad
one was called for at once to try and
save some sight in the remaining
one. The operation was entirely
successful and it is to be hoped that a
reasonable amount Of sight may be
preserved in the eye yet remaining.
In the above operation DIR. Henry
Brubaker of this place, and his son,
DIR. A. p. Brukaker, of Philadelphia,
rendered valuable assistance. --Son'-

The Republican meeting at Oak

ganized by calling Mr.. E. c. Tillson

After several pieces of music by
the band Mr.. .Urner was introduced
and entertained the audience about
one hour, giving a clear exposition
of tho questions of the hour, coming
out squarely for honest money and
plenty of it. Mr.. US speech was
well received.
Mr.. McComas was next introduced,
and spoke about the same length of
time, and was listened to with mark
ed attention both by Republicans
and Democrats.
Taken altogether the Republicans
wero very much pleased with their
candidate, and with the honest and
