WASHINGTON.


WASHlSGTON, January 6.-rhe Washing
ton Republic, u Greenback organ, curious
ly enough, has an editorial this morning
practically advocating John Sherman,
Secretary of the Treasury, for President.
The article, which is headed SHERMAN for
President" says: "There is already good
deal OF talk about the present Secretary Of
the Treasury for Republican nominee in
1850, but very few people have any idea
how really formidable man he is. The
nomination may be said to be between
Blaine, Grant and Sherman; not improb-
ably Blaine will decide to take no part in
the next contest, but reserve his powers for
1851. Should this happen the fight will be
narrowed down to Grant and Sherman.
Strange MS the assertion may seem, the
Sccretary's course within the next two
years is not unlikely to win him the es-
teen OF the Grccnbarkcrs. True, Sher-
man has pursued his favoritc idea Of re-
sumption even though he had to climb
over the victims Of its slow pr ocess, piled
mountain high, but that is accomplished
now. 1t is no longer Il nightmare to in
terfcre with schemes Of relief for the whole
country. Sherman is very clear headed.
lie understands pretty clearly what is
needed now to rc.cstablish prosperity.
There is no longer any difference be.
tween greenbarks and gold to build
up a formidable opposition. Ii would not
be surprising, therefore, 10 see Secretary
Sherman proposing financial measures
which would meet with the hcarticst ap.
probation IRON the Greenhackers. Let
such come to pass. Let the Democrats
nominate Ravarl. and John Sherman
would only have to pick up his portfolio
and walk over to the White llouSc, not to
leave il again ior four years. This may,
and doubtless does, sound very odd, but it
is good, hard common sense for all that.
II any politician has written up Prcsi.

Sherman does not appear he had better

How-watches are Made.

1t will be apparent to any one, who
will examine SOLID GOLD WATCH that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and polishing, the large proper
ton of thesDrecleus metal used is needed
only to stiffen and hold the engraved
portions in place, aud supply the necessary
solidity and strength The surplus gold is
actually needless, so far as UTILITY and
beauty are concerned. La JAMES BOSS
PATENT STIFFENED GOLD WATCH
CASES, this WASTE of precious metal is
overcome, and the SAME sOLIDITY AND
STRENGTH produced at from one-third to
one-half of the usual cost of solid cases.
This process is of the most simple nature.
as follows:-A plate of composition metal
specially adapted to the purpose, has two
plates of SOLID GOLD soldered one on each
side, The three are then passed between
polished steel rollers, and the result is a
strip OF heavily plated composition, from
which the cases, backs. centres, bezels
&c,, are cut and shaped by suitable dies
and formers. The gold in these cases is
sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds of
chasing, engraving and enameling; and
engraved cases have been carried until
worn perfectly smooth by time and use
without removing the gold. These cases
are for sale by all jewellers, and are guar
anteed by SPECIAL CERTIFICATE to
WEAR FOR 20 YEARS. If your Jew
eler does not keep them, send to HAGsToz

phia, for illustrated catalogue.

Beautiful Hair.

FROM j. A. TYNEs, A WELL KNOWN
CITIZEN OF WILSON, N, C,-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 a 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.

The business failures all over the country
during the past year were. in round
numbers, ten thousand FIVE hundred, with
liabilities Of upward of two hundred and
thirty-four million dollars. This is an in
crease over the fgues for 1877 owing, doubt
less, to the repeal of the bankruptcy law.
Statistics of the manufacture of cotton
goods as furnished by the Dry Goods
Review, for the year 1877 exhibit very
gratifying figures as regards the export
trade. The export Of cotton goods from
this country in the most prosperous year
of the trade before the war, 1860, was
$949,O0O. while 1878 shows a total vslu
alton of exports OF Sill ,4S5,OOO. That oul
export trade is still in its infancy is clearly
shown by the very decided increase yeal
after year, and that there is room for in
crease by the fact that but 2-5 per cen
of the total production was drawn to tha
channel

R.snnisita Information.

There ia only one prominent democrat in the
state that we know of who has never CONCEDED
ANYTHING to the greenback craze or the national
ist swindle, ~ and that one is Ex-Governor Johd
M. Palmer. the editor of the State Regtster.-
Chicago Journal
Tt is to be regretted tiat the journal
should be so ignorant of state politics aB
to make the statement we quote above.
There are not only hundreds, but thous
ands of democrats 10 this state who have
never conceded anything to the green
back craze or the national swindle, who
never will bow the knee to the devil who
invented paper money, and who are too
honest and too intelligent to be caught IN
the shallow traps which the republican
machinists contrive. The democracy of
this state, as q mass, in spite Of all the
attempts to infect them with the federal
leprosy, are still sound. Detection from
the ancient standard has occurred, but it
should be noted that any democrat whose
faith in principle has been weakened,
has been corrupted by the efforts of ennis
saries from republican headquarters. The
The national, or greenback, movement in
this state was organized by republican
ofhce-holders or men who wanted office
by the gift of republicans, or men who
were regularly paid from the republican
campaign funds. 1t is one of the political
sins for which the republican leaders
must answer, that they have attempted to
debauch the public mind on the finance
question, and that they have, for no bet
ter purpose than to retain the spoils OF
Office. taught, or caused to be taught, the
utterly atrocious doctrine that the congress
of the United States, or any federal
officer, has the right or power to dictate
how much currency the people OF this
country shall be allowed to use. The re-
publican leaders have for years used the
finances of the nation for political pur-
poses, and have taught doctrines which
thew knew to be false, for the purpose OF
cheating the people out of their votes.
Just so far as this nation is infected with
the damnable and dangerous doctrine that
the congress, or any other branch of the
government, can create value, the leaders
of the republican party are at fault.
There IS not, to day, In the state Of Hi
Eois, a single republican paper which dare
utter sound financial doctrines, and we

By cable we learn that lit has been de-
cided at Rome to accept the resignation of
Archbishop Purcell of Cincinnati" This
strange piece of news must surely be a
practical joke On the part of the Reuter-
Telegram Co., as the Pope would not per-
NIT the fair fame OF the Catholic church
in Cincinnati, TO be sullied by the spectacle
of an Archbishop being permitted to resig"
his charge while resting under the stigma
of misrepresentation Of the funds OF bis
pensioners entrusted to his care for safe
keeping. We trust denial of this news
will speedily follow, and that the well
known rectitude of the leaders of Cath
olicism will be fully indicated.
