HARVEY SICK I,ICR. V. (liter.
TUNK.IIArfNOCK, PA.
Wednesday, Nov. 25, I BGB.
The Democratic candid >te for Con
-1 gress, in the Northern district ot Califor
nia, Hon. James A. Johnson, has been
elected by a handsome majority. The
Radicals have elected but one of the three
Congressmen from that State.
The reconstructed carpet-bag Governor
of Florida has been impeached by the Leg
! islature. The charges against him are :
1. Falsehood and Ling.
2. Incompetency.
3. Proclaiming members out of office.
4 Embezzlement of State funds.
5. Corruption and bribery. Besides
: many other crimes and misdemeanors too
I munerous, in the word* of the auctioneer
I to mention.
SKNSIBLK TALK. —The Detroit Free
Press —one of fhe best Democratic jour
-1 nals in the great west—thus discourses
upon the present and future course of the
Democratic party :
"The Democratic party will not, be
cause it has met with defeat, abate for one
moment its devotion to the great princi
ple* ot civilization and progress of justice
' and right which underlie its organization
and constitute the basis of its existence.—
It is struggling not for the ascendancy of
. individuals, but for the success of princi
ples. Holding these principles a* sacred
and essential to the unity of the nation and
the prosperity of Hie people, it cannot and
1 will not abandon them. They are the
I well spring from which flows the fountain
• of national existence, and thev cannot be
abandoned merely because those who sup
port I hem have met with temporary de
feat."
i
Our Gains.
• Besides electing Democratic Governors
i j this year in New \ork and N> w Jersey,
the Democracy of the Union have gained
• i thirty Jive members of Congress, as fol
lows :
Arkansas 2 | New York 3
: 1 Georgia 4 | North Carolina 4
Illinois 1 j Ohio . 3
Indiana 1 j Pennsylvania 2
Louisiana 4 | South Carolina 3
Maryland 1 | Tennessee 2
Minnesota 1 |
Missouri 3 j Total 35
New Jersey 1 j
The probabilities are that the Radicals
, will have from fifteen to eighteen less than
a two-third majority in the House.
Raising the President's Salary.
Quite a number of the Mongrel papers
are exercised about the smaliness of the
President's salary. It must be increased
from twenty-five to one hundred thousand
dollars.
Well is not the Treasury full ? Are not
the coin vaults tunning over? Is there
any difficulty about raising the means?—
la not the 'sheep before the shearer dumb ?'
Do not the tax payers glory in the '•bless
ing" of a great National debt ? Ahv not
let the President put his hand- in fhe
! Treasury and take just what he wants?— '
Did not widow Lincoln take what duds
: ahe pleased ? Ninety deal boxes full we
believe.
Go on. economists, go on. Don't stop (
at trifles. Seventy-five thousand doilais
a'year. more, cut of the Treasury will help
to make the country rich.— Ex.
Negro Outrages in the South.
Almost every week, fresh and startling
outrages upon defenceless families, are
perpetrated by negroes, in the Southern
States. Many of them never appear in
print, from motives of peculiar delicacy.—
Those that do are becoming too numerous
to let pass.
Wc have in our paper this week a sani
; pie that ninst inake the blood chill in the
i veins.
Who are responsible for this state of
thing* ? It is folly to charge it upon the
negro. Brutality is his primary condi- ,
tion,let liiin be found where he may. — It
is only by subserviency and dependence
that he can be induced to imitate civilized
| life.
To the powerful influence, then, of the
misguided fanatics of the North, is this
! deviltry and mischief due They are the
respousible teachers and ahiters of the
monstrous crimes of rape, murder and theft
so prevalent in the South at the present
I da 3 -
Abolitionists and political preachers,
who seem to think that heaven consists in
i undoing the work of the Almighty, and
making white men of negroes, or of con.
detuning their own race to death and ig
nominy, and elevating the negro into su
periority, have a teirddu share of this re
sponsibility. When the day of final reck
oning comes, they will need the rocks and
j the hills to hide them.
When we bear such men discanting
| about heathen idols, and the disgusting
worship of ill-shaped and obscene images,
we cannot help thinking that "ncgro-on
the brain" is a step only from the image to
j the brute. — Jefferstmian.

General Grants View of the Republican

jof the party they hastened to call upon
the Gen. who stated tw them his objections :

now Lieutenant-Governor of Florida, was
a hunherm 10 and a Democrat. The
State negro made Constitution (so called,)
to keep all power in the Wisconsin car
pet-baggers. concentrated upon the Gov

with enormous salaries. In the distribu
tion ot this patronage, the Wisconsin Reed
offended the Wisconsin Gb-ason,—where
upon tdie latter, through one Jenkins, got
up in tho "Legislature," called to vote for
Grant and Colfax articles of impeachment.
Reed ignor. 8 all this, an I denounces it,

j Hair Vigor,
For restoring Gray Hair to
its natural Vitality and Color
ened, falling hair checked, ami 1,,-v.
ness often, theugh not alwav-,
by its use. Nothing can restore r :
hair where the follicles ate destroyed
| or the glands atrophied and deeaved
But such as remain can he raved" for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the U.:
from turning gray or falling off, aad
consequently prevent baldness. Free
from those deleterious substances which
make some preparations dangerous aud
injurious to the hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it doc
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy
lustre and a grateful perfume.
