Viciifori) Inquirer. BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY, APKIL 8, 11GO THE XVth AMENDMENT; On the 30th ult., the Fifteenth Amend ment became a part of the Constitution ot the United States, and the citizenship of the colored man was officially proclaimed. Notwithstanding the bitter opposition of the Democracy to this measure, the smroth tongued gentry of the coffe-pot persuasion are on the track of the colored voters with all tbeir hollow arguments and wicked ma chinations in the hope of beguiling tbeui into the support of their tickets. Tfco same deceitful artifices with which they attempt ed to mislead the soldiers of the war a few years ago, and which were so ignomioiousiy condemned at that time, are again brought forth for this occasion, and runners are al ready in the field scattering Democratic lit erature in every direction This was ex pected aDd predicted long ago. I c is very natural for a condemned criminal to accept the punishment lie can t possibly avoid; and as we believe in Nature, wc don't think it would be very natural for the colored voters, who are indebted to the Republican party for rescuing their raee from slavery and putting the ballot in their bands, to en tirely ignore the source of their future happiness and prosperity at the hands of the above culprits. There are between nine and ten thousand voters in this State, and it is very probable that ninc-ten'.hs of these will vote the Republican ticket, which will sjcure its success beyond a peradventuve. Undoubtedly the Democratic party in this 1 State is dead. They may make a great j noise and fuss for a little while, but we have the consolation that thunder don t kill. After the mists of the battle of next Octo ber shall have cleared away, we will expect to sec these slimy snakes re-cnact the scenes of eighteen sixty-two and three, and , hunt their holes in dismal caverns. Mean- ; while the Republican party will have risen | in all its grandeur, aud in the faith of the American Nation proclaim to the world, that America is in deed and in truth, the land of the free and the home of the brave. I FEACEF? L INVASION. Poor Mexico, torn and distracted with i ivil feud- and periodical revolutions, has ceased to be looked upon with a covetous eye by any other nation. The sad fate of Maximilain seems to have satisfied Euro- j pean Courts that even if they cannot govern j themselves, the Mexican people will tolerate j BO foreign usurper. It has remained for • one of the heroes of our own war to devise j a new and peaceful scheme for the redemp- i lion of Mexico from her chronic condition ; •>f anarchy. General Roieeraus, seeing the 1 -canity of the means of transportation, came | to the conclusion that money and railroads ! were two great wants in the way of the sue- ! ©e-sful development of the latent wealth of j Mexico, and the eMabli-hment of a stable i government. W itli this object in view he : asks the Congress of the United States for ; the privilege of organizing a railroad com- ! pany and a banking company under a olter ter from the United States, and armed with | these peaceful weapons, proposes to at tempt the great work of redeeming Mexico from poverty aud misrule. We.hope Con gress will promptly grant his request. If the General succeeds in his enterprise he will make a conquest that will bring bim greener and more lasting laurels than bis most brilliant military exploits. Yankee nergy, hrain3 and capital will soon work ! wonders, and we would not be surprised, a i few years hence, to see Mexico, peaceful and j prosperous, knocking at the doors of Con ; cre-s and asking to be taken into the sister- I hood of States whence her true friends have { always come. IV e regard Roseerau-' scheme as promising greater re- dt- and greater blessings for Mexico than any other yet at- i tempted, and sincerely wish the gallant General the most abundant success in his i philanthropic undertaking. PRINCE PIERRE BONAPARTE, the uiur . rer of * ietor Noir, is reported to be hom ing to the 1 nited f - ites. \\ c have enough -prigs of royalty here now. who have been banished for cv' uies that should have brought them to the gallows or to prison for life. We h ipe the criminal scions of royal houses will be kept at borne hereafter. It is about time our people made a vigorous protest sgainst being made a penal colony lor Eu rope, whether the convicts be ef royal or c mimon stock. WITH a'L his love of one-min power, the Emperor Napoleon just now presents the remarkable spectacle of being more liberal than his libera! Cabinet. Uo wishes to submit the new order of things to a vote of the people, but his ministers oppose the discussion of the matter at all. We have no donbt it is only a skilful blind. Louis Napoleon will only yield the reins when he ! can r.;> longer hold them. - THE Legislature adjourned yesterday. It i> well. That counts one good act that meets with general approval. The past I session, thanks to independent Republican criticism, has been an improvement on pre vious ones, but there is still abundant room for improvement. A vis wo have reports that the Cuban in-urgeots arc about succumbing; how much truth there is in them it is utterly iaipos-i --hlc to tell. fiiE I-'rcoch Government has at last con ceded the right of citizens of the United •States to laud Cables on French soil. THE Border Raid bill was defeated in the the House on Wednesday March 31st, ly a vote of 73 to 10.

[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. ] LETTER FROM UAKKISBI.K(;. U.VtWISBt RG, Pa.. April 1, 1870. THE DIAMOND-WATT c uicsted election case, in the Senate, has not yet c "s:d, though all the evidence is expected to be in to-uiorrow The testi money taken is very voluminous, and makes over (our hundred printed pages. The final h-gmceut will prabahly take place on Moo ti iy. Ine counsel for the Republican sitting ST* 3lr - are Hon. Lewis VV Ball of Hartlsburg, au d late State Senator from the Hair district, and a member of the v ivil I ode ( ommission, and J. Alexander Simpson. Esq., of Philadelphia. Mr. Dia mond, tin Democratic contestant, has for his counsel lewis C. Casridy, Esq., of 1 ti adelpbia, and has retained on the final argument, Hon. Benjamin H. Brewster, late Attorney General. The closeness of the >'-■ n.ite, politically, and doubt there is as to which party will have the majority next winter, ha- - spurred both sides in this oon t it to unusual exertions. Both sides feel confident they have a strong case, but the probabilities arc that Mr. Watt will retain his seat. HASTY LEGISLATION. As the session is about to close legislation is put through with a celerity that is mar v clous. In most cases the titles ouly of bill are read, and they are sent "kiting" through without so mudb as an examination by a committee. Were it not for tbe cheek of the Executive veto, the character of the legislation engrafted upon the laws of the Common wealth would often be of a mort. outrageous description. During the last days of the cession the Legislature sends to j the Governor a mass of bills to pass upon of ell characters and kinds sufficient in number i to give hiui almost constant employment during the remainder of the year in their examination. Tbe present year more than ever demonstrates the necessity of a con stitutiona! provision prohibiting the passage of local tilis when a genera! one can be framed to meet the requirements. THE GENERAL APPROPRIATION BILL has passed both branches of the Legislature and is now in tbe bands of a conference com mittee of the two Houses. The Senate has quite materially reduced the bill from what it was when it passed the other House, and if the conference committee perform their work properly 'he appropriation- - made the prt sent s - es.-ion will probably be much more satisfactory to the people generally than those made for some years past. THE FINANCE COMMITTEE of the Senate have as yet made uo report of the results of their investigations into the affaire of the State Treasury. They will likely make a report the fir3t of next week, but as the facts developed in the investiga | tion have been very thoroughly di-ous-cii a I read - . What the committee may have to say will make but little difference to anybody. The whole thing ha 3 been a stupendous farce from beginoirg to end, and has been generally so regarded, although it is said that some members of the committee fail ' to sec its absurdity. THE BORDER CLAIM bill has been indefinitely postponed in the House by a large majority. The lateness of the ses.-ion before it was reached pre ventod the full aud fair di-cu-sion to which the measure was entitled, and no doubt con tributed much to its defeat. The heavy drains that have been made upon the Treasury by other legislation also bad its share in placing the bill in an unfavorable light. It will, of coarse, not be revived | arain this session. THE SINKING FCND. A bill has passed the 'Senate with only I two negative votes, and will probably pa-- the House, providing that hereafter when ( the receipts of tbe State Treasury, exclusive ! of the sinking fund, shall not be sufficient ito pay current and ordinary expenses, it ' shall be lawful for the State Treasurer to j devote such funds ao may bo in tbe sinking ; fjnJ other than those placed there by thc | Constitution to the payment of such ex | pense-, and that the decisions of the Su | preme Court requiring payment of the iu j U rcst on the Stato debt contracted prior to j I-G2, iu gold is the supreme law of the laud, I anything in the laws of Pennsylvania to the contrary not-withstanding. The Commis sioners of the sinking fund are also required to purchase for redemption such amounts of State loans, or certificates of indebtednes as tha condition of the sinking fund may justtfy purchasing such loans as first fall due as far as practicable. XI.I>I CONGRESS-SECOND SESSION. MONDAY, March 2*HB.—Nothing of im protaoce d<*ne in the Senate to-day. In the House, among the bills and reso lutions introduced aud referred are, one to amend the act establishing the postal mo ney-order system. Authorizing the construction of a bridge across the Mississippi at St. Louis. To reorganize the Navy. Providing for the payment of pensions in gold. From the Wisconsin Legislature, ashing a further appropriation for the improvement of harbors on Lake Superior. To aid the construction of a railroad and telegraph from California and Oregon Hail road to the several Pacific railroads. From the Legi-Rturc of New Mexico praying for authority to raise two regiments for protection against the Indians. The Tariff question was then taken up and discussed, hut no action taken on it. TUESDAY. March 20th—SENATE. —Mr. Sherman said that a majority of the Senate desired to take up the Texas bill aud pass on it, to give the President an opportunity to is-tic his proclamation declaring ibat the Filti cnth Amendment to the Constitution has been ratified. Several Senators discussed the motion The question on postponing was agreed to by yeas, 42; nays 1?, The question on ::ig the Judiciary Committee from the Texa- bill, with an or der to bring it before the Senate, was agreed to hv yeas, 39; nays, 3 5. 1 ho bill was tben taken up, read and con sidered and amended bv striking out the pnvistoo that the act shall not affect the condition and guarantees on which the State is admitted, and passed. In the House the Xuriff bill was again •!i cu-srd. hut nothing done. WEDNESDAY, March 30tb.—Nothing of importance done in the Senate. In the House, Mr. Puttier, of Ma s,, Irom the Reconstruction Committee, report ed back the Senate amendment to the bill admitting Texas to representation with a recommendation that the amendment be > concurred in. _ The amendment is to strike out the proviso that "nothing in the bill shall affect the conditions on which Texas was originally annexed to the I "nion." The amendment was concurred in, yea?, J 22: nays, .">0; a party vote. <>a motion of Mr. Schenck. the House went into Committee of the Whole on the Tariff bill. Mr. Schewrk moved that the general de bute to morrow shall close in one hour and a half. Agreed to. Mr. MaynarJ then took the lloor iu ad versity to the bill. Pending bis remarks, the President's private Secretary arrived, aud notified the HOUBO that the President had signed the bill admit ting Texas into the Union, and also delivered the message and proclamation in writing. On motion of Mr. Garfield the Commit tee rose, in order that these papers might be read. The message was then read, announcing 'he ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment Accompanying the message was the procla mation of ratification by 0.-cretary Ftsh. i be reading of the documents was follow ed by clapping of hands, cheers and other j demonstrations of applause. THURSDAY, March 31st.—SENATE—Mr. Ifrrie presented the credentials of Morgan t . Hamilton and J. \\ Ftanigan. Senator elect, from Texas; the former for the term endljjg March 1, 1871, the latter for the term ending March 4, 1875. He asked that the gentlemen be sworn into office. _ Mr. Thurman called for the reading of | the certificates, which wore then read, being certificates of election, signed by JE. J. J)a --1 via. Governor of Texas. In response to a request from the Vice President Messrs. Hamilton and Flaniean came forward, escorted by Messrs. Drake and Cole, and, after being" dulv qualiti 1, rook seats upon the Republican Vide of rho Senate. In the House several petitions were pre i sentcd and the Tariff question discussed. l ItIDAY, April Ist. —ln the Senate sever al t ills in the interest of the City of Wash tngton were considered. On motion, it was I ordered that when the Senate adjoQrn, it be i till Monday next. In the Iloasc. the Tariff question was taken up and discussed for some time. Tbis is a tedious question, and as it appears to have the misfortune of being brought up when there is no time to devote to it, it may be some time before it is diapered of. There j appears to be great difference >f opinion wn j almost every point touched, and the d s-} im-ion* vViii-eqhent ■ occupy H the time j and make little progress toward r.ctJOtoipliah ing anything.

THE WHOLESALE trade of Chicago during the past year omounted to the elever sum of four hundred and sixteen millions, while the sum total of its manufactures footed up loss than sixty millions These facts, which have considerably annoyed the good citizens of that thriving oily, have aroused a spirit of Jetarinination which augurs well for the interests of manufacturing in the future. Movements are already on foot to increase manufacturing facilities, and as the prinei pa! drawback ha* been the want of'a full slippfv of good coal, this difficulty It is pro posed to n medy by the immediate comple tion of the Chicago, Danville and Vinceu nes Kailroad, which will open up a mean* of direct communication with some of the best, coal fields of Illinois.

These counterfeits have tube thrown out by lady counters employed for the pur pose.

IT IS stated that smutty wheat can be made into good and wholesome flour by adding one quart of finely pulverized air-s!aekod lime to each eigiit bushels of grain, through ly mixing it before it passes through the cleaning apparatus of theorist-mill previous to grinding. The lime seems to cut the smut, which adheres to the fuzzy end of the wheat, and both are blown out with other dust and dirt. A CINCINNATI lady who recently found the gas escaping in bur servant's chamber, asked her it* she had blown it out instead of turning it off, and was told that she "was not BO green as all that; she had only turned it on again a little that it would be easier lighted in the mornin." A sit ART old Western lady being called into court as a witness, grew impatient at the question put to her. and told tlic Judge that she wouid quit the stand, for he was "raly one of the most inquisitive old gentle men she had ever seen." .11 A (t K LTS.

The following ate selected from thousands of testimonials of similar character, as ex pressing the reasons for the preference for the GKOVEB A BAKER Machines over all others. a * "I like the (irover A: Baker Machine, in the first plaae, because, if I had any other I should still want a (irover k Baker; and, having a Grover A Baker, it answers the pur pose of all the rest. It does a greater variety of work and it is easier to learn than any oth er." — Mrs. J. C. Cruly (Jenny June.) * * "I have bad several years' experi ence with a Grover A Baker Machine, which has given me great satisfaction. 1 think the Grover A Baker Machine is more easily roan aged, arid less liable to get out of order. 1 prefer the Grover A Baker, decidedly."— Mrs. Dr. Watts, Mew York. * * "I have bad one iu my family for gome two years; and from what I know of its workings, and from the testimony of many of my friends who use the same, I can hardly see bow anything could be more complete or give better satisfaction."— Mrs. (Jen Grant. * * "I believe it to be the best, all things considered, of any that 1 have known. It is very simple and easily learned; the sewing from the ordinary spoota is a great advati tage, the stick is entirely reliable; it does or namental work beautifully: it is not liable to get out of order.'' — Mrs. A. M. Spooner, 36 Bond Street , Brooklyn. 1 ° "I am acquainted with the work of the principal machines; and I prefer ibe Gro ver A Baker to thein all, because I consider the stitcb more elastic. I have work now in the house which was done nine years ago, which is still good." — Mrs. Dr. McCready, ' So. 43 Bast -3d street , Sew York. * "More than two-thirds of all tho sowing done in my family for the last two years has been done by Grover A Baker's Machine, and I never had a garment rip or i need mending, except those rents which frolicsome boys will make in whole cloth. It | is in my opinion by far the most valuable of i any T have tried."— Mrs. Henry Ward | Betchtr. * * "The Grover A Baker Sewing Ma chine has rendered in every respect the most perfect satisfaction. It combines so niany advantages with beauty of execution and economy in price that it is a necessity in ev ery household."— Mrs. Governor Geary, liar risburgh, Da. * * "I have had the Grover A Baker Machine for ten or twelve years in constant use in my house. I have seen and known every kind ol family sewing, both personal and household, accomplished upon the Gro ver A Baker Machine to the entire satisfac tion of all who wertf concerned." — llcv. Ste phen H. Tyng. —" * * "I find the Grover A Baker stitch • will wear as long as the garments do—out wear the garment, in fact. The stitch will not break on bias seams, when stretched, as others do; and neither does it draw the work." Mrs. Dr. Whiting, 1 Bast -ith street, Sew York. * ' "We have a Grover A Baker Sewing Machine for seven years in constant use. i hemming, felling, tucking, and everything i that the fingers can do. It is preferred over all others on account of its durability of work, elasticity and strength of stitch, ease of move ment, and simplicity of construction."— .Yrs.

THE GREA T DESIDERATUM OF THE AGE A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Jaded, or gray hair it toon restored la its "ri,final color and the gluts and frethnett of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and deea\- ed. But such as remain can be saved for useful ness by this application. Instead of foaling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent tbe hair from turning gray or falling off, and consc quently prevent baldness. Free from those dele terious substances which make some preparations dangerous and Injurious to the hair, tbe Vigor can only benefit but nut harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be fonnd sq desirable. Contain ing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared hy DR. J, C.
