Hair Vigor,
For restoring to Gray Hair its
natural Vitality and Color,
A dressing
which is at
once agreeable,
healthy, an d
effectual fo r
preserving the
hair. It soon
restores faded
or gray hair
to its original
color, with the
gloss and freshness 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 de
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but suoh as remain can be
saved by this application, and sthnu
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma
tion of dandruff; which is often so un
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju
rious co 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 or dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.

PATENT REFORAIERS.
Some of the independent magazines and
weekly journals that comment disinterestedly
on the turn of current politics, remark that the
civil service reform, about which so much
noise was made when the twitters were manu
facturing excuses for leaving the Republican
ranks, has now disappeared , from the scene of
:Winn, the so-called reformers saying no more
about It • No sham cnnnected with a political
campaign was ever more thoroughly riddled
and exposed than this Pretence of the bolters
,of being in favor of civil service reform. The
alZitatlOD on the subject has ceased, because
every leading Man of the bolters has been
clearly and indfspetably convicted of the very
offences against civil service reform that they
charged upon the Administration. In the
case of their candidate for the Presidency.
Horace Greeley, the proof is quite strong. A
man named Bayley was a defaulting collector
of internal revenue in New York, and wee
held up by Mr. Oreelev's paper, the Tribune,
in terms of vehement indignation, ne a sped
men of the administration of Rysildent Grant.
On examining the official records, it proves
that this man was appointed on the warm
recommendation of Horace Greeley himself,
whose letter indorsing hie honesty, fidelity
and capacity is now Published.
Before President Grant found it necessary
to dispense with Greeley's advice as regards
New York appointments, Greeley and Fenton
recommended all their reckless and unsernpu
tons political tools, and had. in fact, filled a
large majority of the national offices in New
York State with men of their faction. But
the President and Eincreteriea were kept in
constant trouble by these officials, and had to
remove many of them. They also found that
what pretended to be a portion of the Repub
lican party was worked by Greeley end Fen
ton as an adjunct of the Tammany Demnera
cv. and it. was in this way that Hoffman wits
elected Governor. In fact these men were in
the party for the purposes of their own faction
and out of it whenever they could not control
nominations. When at length the President
resolutely determined to put en end to this, by
quietly setting aside Greeley and Fenton.
these two notable purists set up for reformers
of the civil service, opening fire first upon the
New York Custom-House, hut in the end he•
Inv pretty thoroughly ' , sunned themselves
In the ease of Mr. Schurz, whose &mind's.
tbmi of the Administration, taking civil ser
vice reform as his text, have been extreme.
two cases have been cited that are quite sufil•
clent to stamp the character of the man. The
first is that of hie brother-in-law, Jussen, a
German, like himself, who was appointed to
the most lucrative office. In Illinois—collector
of internal revenue for the whole of Chicago.
Schutz denied having had any hand in the

But setting aside thee considerations alto
gether are merely personal traitors, there are
two important reasons why the new Reform
party has dropped reform. The first is that
the Democratic-Liberal Republican party
being mainly composed of men who are very
hungry from long exclusion from office, have
no notion of helping to put an Administration
in power and then getting no reward. They
are, in fact, not in favor of the new scheme at
all. They see that particularly it would put
an end to their importance in politics. The
second reason is that the civil service reform
originated-vvith the Republicans altogether
and has been mainly sustained by them. Mr.
Jenckes, of Rhode Island, a staunch Repue.

accepted issue, and his bill was discussed at

sustained the retornt by his influence. But all
were cirnscious that it could only be eventu
ally succ••ssful by moulding public sentiment
to demand and sustain It. 1 n this end the
agitatiln was kept up, until the Senatorial
conspirators at length hit upon the notable ex

From ► Special Corrosp.mdoot.
ATonisottl, KANSAN Aug. 20, 1872. —Mr
Iredell:—As we are drifting nearer the day of
election the warmer, political feeling gets and
the clearer the line is drawn—the better we
are enabled to form an accurate opinion of
the result. In my last I told you Kansas was'
good for 80,000, and we have better reasons
to think so now than then. Immediately
alter themomir atlon at Oincinnati, Missouri,
the home of Brown, was claimed by the Demo
crats by 50,000—now they come down to 10,-
000. I frequently come in contact with Intel
ligent men from that State and no nue claims
It by a decided majority for either patty. One
thing is certain : the influence of the hero of
Judge Stalin's piano. Carl Schurz, can not
muster a corporal's guard of his countrymen
in that Stale. The Democratic hope of carry
ing the State lice in securing the disenfran
chised Democrats lately reinstated.
An incident occurred in my presence, the
other day, which will illustrate the feeling
among that class of people. Both men had
beets disenfranchised; and both had been
slaveholders. The one told the other he
would vote for Greeley, because Grant went
for them like h—l durinz the war. "That's
true," replied the ether party, " for that ma.
son I would vote Greeley ; but you must ad
mit that when Grant started for us he kept
the (I—d thing up until he had us. We knew
jest where he was—on our front all the time,
and never pretended anything else. On the
c oarary Greeley was everywhere, and no
where when he was needed. He was for
peace one day and war the next. He balied
Jell. Davis one day ; the next he pitched Into
Grant for not Bending the military down on
us fellows because we did not bow to &mho.
I want a man I can rely upon. I shall vote
for Grant, even if he is my enemy." " Well,"
said the other one, "1 never viewed it In tl.t
light. I always said and believed Greeley
to be a fanat c and I will also vote for Grant."
This Is only one of the thousand occurren•
ces. Of course they are not all paraded in the
newspapers, and I give this Incident only to
show you how it's viewed by the class of men
who are relied upon to make it win. Here in
our city I know we have a greater number
of Germans in proportion to the number of in
habitants than any other town in the Union,
yet not one tenth will vote for Greeley., Even
among those of Irish nationality I find many
enthusiastic Grant men, witich shows that
they are beginning to see that the party of
universal liberty is the Republican. They
also do not like Greeley's Slievegnmmon re
cord. Out of two hundred colored voters
evt ry man is an avowed Grant man.' The
Greeley men claim one, but do not give his
name, and this one is like in Sodom orold—
it's not enough to s ve them.
Charles Sumner is looked upon by them as
their enemy. A Democrat approached one
the other day and told him that Sumner had
turned net r and he had better follow his lead.
" Well," Bald the negro, "If I fall in the
river I think the man who jumps in and saves
me is my real savior, and not the one who
stands on the shore and hallos for help." The
Democrat concluded that the " d—n nigger"
did not know anything and left him.
Since the North Carolina election they are
sick. They had a big time when the first
news came, almost as glowing as Frank
Haines' rooster after an absence of twelve
years, but they had to glee in, which makes
it ail the worse,
I should judge by Frank's paper that Lib

Po their honor be it said the Democrats are
ashamed of the name and record of their party
and look upon the Rebel flank movement un

get rid of their old sins or else cover them
up, and the greatest trouble our Democrats

typhoon which burst over the north coast of
Formosa, three vessels, with crews number
ing altogether forty men, were blown from
their anchorage and driven upon the rocky
shore of Kelung harbor. The night was very
dark and rainy, but by the aid of a brilliant
light of burning camphor the perilous position
of the ships was perceived. A rope was in
stantly made secure to the shore, and the two
gentlemen attempted to carry it through the
heavy surf to the assistance of the Annie,
schooner, which had on board a crew of seven
Englishmen. The rope, however, was . too
short, and both gentlemen had to swim to
the vessel, which they reached after
a narrow escape front being dashed on the
rocks. Accompanied by two of the crew,they
attempted to convey a rope to the shore by
the ship's boat, but bad hardly been launched
when it was swamped, and they had again to
swim for their lives. Their flirts to save the
crew were, however, at last successful, and
they then proceeded to the French bark Ad. le,
which lay a mile further out, dashed with the
Westward Ho ! another vessel, on the worst

on their part four of the crew were induced to
trust themselves to 'he rope, and reached the
shore in safety. ' fileesrs. Dodd and Margary
then followed, taking with them the boat

swimming with the DM, who assisted him

shore in safety. After sustained efforts, ex
tending over eight hours, all 'sancta, with the
exception of two men in the fore part of the
ship, were rescued, and as the vessel was
breaking in two it was difficult to get at them.
Mr. Dodd made an attempt, however, but at
first was unsuccessful, being washed over
board by a heavy sea and sucked under a lot
of wreck. It seemed almost as if ho must be
lost, but after some little time he freed him
self in his efforts to do so. Although in this
sad plight, ho again succeeded in reaching the
ship, and by daylight—having begun his no•

bLIEVEUARRON.
HORACE GREELEY ABA FRIEND OF IRELAND.
To the Editor or The Press.
SIR : At the Greeley and Brown ratifica
tion meeting held at Cooper Institute. New
York, one of the speakers, a Mr. Jas. O'Don
nelly, proclaimed Horace Greeley "the life.
long friend of Ireland," and Instanced his
connection with the "Young Ireland" move
m'•nt of '4B as proof. As many well-meaning
Irishmen entertain similar notions, I think it
well to disabuse their minds of the impres
sion.
Early in '47 a number of young men came
together and organized an "Auxiliary Con
federation" to support the movement at home
as led by William Smith O'Brien, Mitchel.
Meagher, Gavin Duffy, and a boast of other
brilliant men, whose well-won fame is dear
to the hearts of all true Irishmen. As the
Young Ireland party grew in public favor at
home, so did the Auxiliary one on this side
of the Atlantic, until in May, '9B, it was a
powerful body, having branches In all the
large cities of the United States, and large
amounts of money roiling into its treasury.
At this time Horace Greeley,Charles O'Con
nor, Bartholomy O'Connor, Judge Hobert
Emmet, and Ex-President Tyler, with the
present United States Senator, Eugene Cita
serly, as secretary, constituted themselves a
directory for the government of the move
ment hero in aid 01 the revolutionary party in
Ireland. Sonic forty or fifty thousand "dol
lars reached their hands before the movement
collapsed. Greeley, Bennett, and Bishop
Hughes each contributed by check five hun
dred dollars, but stopped the collection as
soon as they found, that the revolutionary
movement in Ireland was a fiasco.
By some means Greeley got word of the
failure before it became generally known In
New York, and he issu.d an extra edition
of the Tribune announcing "a glorious victo
ry for the rebels at Slievenamon ;" the whole
English army was routed and cut to pieces,
and all the troops In the South of Ireland re
treating on Dublin ; the victorious rebels In
I ot pursuit after them, and the whole popula
tion up in arms harassing and impeding the
retreat ot the routed and beaten red-coats.
The Irish Republic was proclaimed, and
Smith O'Brien declared Provisional President.
There was but one thing to mar the glory of
this victory—"the gilled and gallant Meagher
was slain while leading a victorious charAo of
Tipperary pikemen."
Any one who knows the enthusiastic nature
of Irishmen, and the deep, heartfelt love tney
bear to their native land, and the fervor
of their hatted of En,„land, can readily com
prehend their enthusiasm on this occasion.
They were wild with delight. For hours on
hours they thronged Printing-House Square.
The streets leading to it were Jammed, and
the park opposite was alive with thousands
cheering for Greeley, the Directory, and the
Irish Republic.
There were over one hundred thousand
copies of the Tribune "extra" sold at five
cents per copy, on every copy of which Gree
ley made, on the lowest calculation, three
cents and a half profit, whicb netted the a lug
little sum of three thousand Ave hundred dol
lars profit.
The next morning's papers, however,
brought the disagreeable news home to the
people's hearts that Greeley's Slievonamou
victory was all "gammon." And I tell you
your should have been there, as I was, to here
the curses, loud and deep, that were heaped
on the devoted head of Horace Greeley. 1
have seen Irishmen angry; I have seen them
fighting, I have seen them ready to fight, but
I never in my life saw them so deeply moved
as on that day. Well, all I have to say is, if
they had got hold of the philosopher he would
not be the coalition candidate for the Presi•
dency to day.
From thence out Horace was known by the
sobriquet of "Sllevegammon Greeley." But
what he did with the funds of the Directory
was always a question he never could be
brought to answer.
I was a mhaber of the Executive Commit
tee
of the original Auxiliary Confederation
and President of a club under the Directory,
and the facts I give above I was fully cogni
zant of. You will, therefore, observe that
Ilorace'a "lifelong friendship for Ireland" was
from the lip out, and not from the heart. I
know the history of every affair connected
with Ireland for the last twenty-eight years
that Horace Greeley had anything to do with
and I affirm solemnly that in every instance
Greeley kept aloof until all the hard work was
done, and popularity and profit were to be
gained by attaching himself to it. So that I
think Ireland or Irishman owe him nothing
in the form of frlendsh p, while they do a,
good deal in the form of hatred on account
of the innumerable slurs he has heaped on
them about election times.

Tuesday, June 18th, at this place Jo declare
that the statement of Mr. Ellis dated at E.ie,
June 21st, does not contain all the facts which
he gave hose and which Conveyed a different
idea from the last statement. Mr. Ellis ex
pressly declared that he does not now believe
and never has believed that General Allen
ever received any of the money or appropria
led it to his own use. He said he exonerated'
General Allen from all blame in the matter.

of it as refer directly to the result without
censuring the opponents of Allen as he did.

A .. .persort who writes letters to the N. Y.

performances in the surf:
" Why he can swim like a duck," said an
enthusiastic Greeleyite as he stood upon the
beach to day, and watched the vegetable can
didate for the Presidency buffet the billows
of the Atlantic like a shirted dolphin. But
the next moment a mighty breaker seized the
bold swimmer and stood him upon his head,
his heals beating the thin air in a desperate
struggle to alter this abnormal attitude. I
suppose there were two or three hundred
guests, farmer folks, &c., on the shore at the
time. The news that Horace was going on
;,,wrestle with Neptune resulted in the form
ing of a large procession, which marched In
good order to the scene of hostilities, and took
up such favorable' positions as the nature of
the ground would permit. As the veteran
merman emerged from the bath-house the
crowd yelled approvingly, and the boys shied

lady bathers had placed themselves under his
protection for a plunge In the brine.
"G, dear Mr. Greeley, I know I can never
stand It," said a beautiful blonde as a big
wave burst, enveloping her little feet In the
creamy foam.
" Pshaw, my dear, y u needn't be afraid.—
I'll protect you." And so he did, to the
great uneasiness of her lover, who beheld the
4extorona veteran (mistaking' her neck for
her waist) encircling her with his arm, and
dragged her after him as though he meant to
drown her. In four feet of water they sud
denly disappeared front view, and reappeared
after five seconds, the young lady in a terri
ble state of fright. The kind old man en
deavored to pacify her.
"steady, my dear," he said, endeavoring
to hide his own nervousness, " there's no
use of getting flighty. It Is natural for the
human family to swim."
"0, Mr. Greeley, how can you say so?"
exclaimed tile wretched maiden, wildly spurt

"No never, never. I want to be unnatural.
I don't like it, and never will. I don't want

her frenzy, and lifting both bathers, burled
the sage headlong over his fair charge. A

The Phil Adelphin Press and General

(From the Warren HAIL Austat 47.)
The Press opposes Hartranft ostimilbly be
cause he was nominated by Cameron's influ
ence—ln fact, because he ,exposed the Rune
affair with which Forney was unfortunately
connected. It opposes Allen, as a blind—to
make people believe that hisoppositiop is gen
eral and not personal to Hartranft albino be
cause of that exposure. The'Press of Aug
ust 171.11 says :
He (Allen) is a sound Republican, and gives
evidence that he is willing to make a personal
sacrifice for the success of his party. But he
cannot forget and dare not deny the affidavit
of G. W. Ellis, of Warren County, who, be
ing interested with a number of other gentle
men in securing legislation, went to Harris.
burg to secure a charter.
Ellis made no affidavit, and would mako
none. H•• made a statement in 1860 which
the Press first published as of 1872. It may
think such changing of dates honest, but plain
people don't.. We desire to Inform the Press
and all others, that Allen did then and does
now deny that statement. Ellis himself con
sidered It a mistake before he left the county
three years ago, and always exonerated Allen
from blame. It was like all "last cards" be
fore election and had no more effect. Allen
was then a candidate for Senator. This state
ment was circulated everywhere by his per
sonal enemies, and the whole transactions al
leged to have occurred in 1867 was thorough
ly canvassed and understood by the people of
this county and senatorial district. Yet he
carried the county convention largely, was
nominated by acclamation and triumphantly
elected. This was the people's verdict then.
It will be the same now.
The only man whom Ellis connected with
the transaction at Harrisburg was Mr. Chase.
He very promptly made the following affida
vit, which was never denied :
WARREN, June 28, 1869.
I hereby certify that the statement published
in a circular dated Warren, June 24, 1869,
over the Name of C. W. Ellis, in relation to
his visiting Harrisburg for the purpose of buy
ing legislation, two years ago last winter, 18
not true. Mr. Ellis knows more of the tran
saction than he has stated, which he will not
deny under oath. I acted entirely under in
structions from Mr. Ellis which were differ
ent from the statement published. I never
had any instructions from General Allen
in the 'natter. and understood from Mr. Ellis
that General Allen would have nothing to do
with the matter and I believe he did not.

and speak out in his behalf. Only last Satin ,
day, August 24, at a Democratic meeting in
his own township, of Glade. fair minded men
advocated his election. David Beatty Was
president of the meeting, in Glade, Matthew
Shipman vice president, and Jacob Offerlee
and Theodore Hull, secretaries..
TLe following resolutions were passed
unanimously
Resolved, That we. life long . Democrats of
Warren county, and neighbors of Gen. Allen,
do most cheerfully bear testimony to hie ex.
cellence as a citizen, and most and most deci
dedly dissent from and disapprobste the elan
ders,being hurled against him by the partisan
Press. Knowing him from hie boyhood, we
do not credit the charges made against him,
but believe them the offspring of political ma
lice, and disappointed ambition.
Resolved, That while entirely differing from
him in polities, and being in favor of Greelr y
and Backalew, we do not feel that political
success should be obtained at the price of the
fair fame of any candidate, and we. therefore
express our sentiments moat fully, and as we
think in the most Democratic manner, when
we say that trumped up charges, unsubstanti•
ated by any evidence, are sot and ought not
to be considered as of any value whatever,
against any candidate, but in the case of Gen.
alien it is most especially unjust, as without
money or influential friends, he has risen to
distinction, and his whole life has proven his
energy, his ability, and his fidelity to every
.trust or business which has been placed upon
him or in which he has been engaged. Be is
almost the first In every charitable enterprise,
and is emphatically the poor man's friend.
Resolved, That In giving expression to our
sentiments, we believe there are hundreds of
our neighbors, who will agree with ne, and
who, while repudiating the calumnies heaped
on General Allen, will vote the balance of the
Democratic and Liberal ticket, from President
dawn to county auditor.
This independent action sustains what we
have before predicted—that ho will not only
carry his own Democratic township but run
ahead of his party in this county and district.
If a man's neighbors don't know him who
should? If they trust him and support him
why shouldn't the Press ?
We have given the above to show the peo
ple abroad what was and is the,generaljudg-.
mein on this affair at home. This MO Press
is insincere as well as unjust and wnfalr•in ;BS
opposition to Alien especially, is shown..nnt
only by its effort to revive the old scandal long
ago exploded, but by its own honeetly,4l
- opinion of our nominee when it hail

RAIDROAD ACCIDENT.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin of yeairdiy.
A Dud Smash, but Nobody 'Hurt
A costly, but, happily, not fatal railroad s •
cident, occurred this morning, near the F
Chase, In the Twenty-fifth Ward, about b
a mile below Intersection station, on the
mantown and Norristown Railroad. At 11.
point the Connecting RailrOad crosses t•
Richmond branch of the Reading road. Aboi
half-past two o'clock this morning, as a freip!
train from New York Was approaching ti.
bridge, and about one hundred yards from 1
an silo broke and . throw the car
which it was attached oft the track. It w
dragged along until It camo — to the brith •
when it struck the side railing and fah.
shoved the bridge—an iron one— .
The train consisted of 28 care loaded wi
merchandise. The engine and forward cat
passed over safely, but ten care meat dos
with the wreck of the bridge, and the cou,
liege were strong enough to pull out t..
trucks from under 8 more before tiiey gay ••
way. These three went down the'side at th •
embankment, and were upset and broken, b,
the contents saved.
At the time of the accident a coal tra',
bound for Richmond was coming ddwn
Reading Railroad, end was witbin•e•few fe,••
of the bridge when it fell. The engineer ha t
only time to reverse his engine end widen
down the brakes, and then he and the firema •
Jumped, while the engine, with scarcely eta ,
ed speed, dashed into the wreck and ant It pr,
fire. Twenty or thirty coal cars were t• •
crushed and jammed tooth”r that It was b.
most Impossible to count them, while con •
dry goods and groceries were mixed up 1,.•
more intimately then consignees would cal.
to have them.
The attaches of Cohockslnk engine,,po. 2.!
saw the light and soon had their engine 011 ti
spot, and an alarm aubsequentlySounded froi
Broad and Germantown avenue, brcnight Its
moro steamers and trucks ; but their. effort •
to check the flames were fruitless. • ; Ever ;
thing burned that could burn.
The wreck.trains of the two roads were ale
tromptly on hand, aad when our report.
visited the place were rapidly bringing ord.
out of a very desperatelooking 0110,05. A.
engine and corps of men on the Ileading trim
were hauling the broken coal Cats ear of %b
-ruins and tumbling them down'at% embank
meet, with little regard to theirenfeebled coi
'Pion, and on the Pennsylvania track an ell
dent force of laborers was putting down rai
and clearing away the still smoking remain:.
of the freight cars.
It is expected that a temporary bridge wil
be in position and trains running regulari
by eight o'clock this evening, and in ti •
meantime passengers will be transferred Cron.
one train to another at. the break. • '
Fortunately no person received the slighter'
injury, which, considering the amount of dan,
age done, was - not the least' singular part (..
the affair.

A correspondent writlag from Cleveland

Greeley will carry a State west of us. Joseph
W. Carson, chairman of the Democratic Oen.

ley party and come out for Grant. Tho old
Democratic German paper has hoisted Grant.
Does this look as th3ngh we would not get
the German vote?"

A correspondent of the Pittsburgh Oommer
dal says: •
We have heard a great deal lately about the
historical event In the United States Senate of
the attack of." Bully" Bruokson Charles Sum
ner. If My recollection of this event Is per
fect, Sumner is one of the most ungrateful
men in the country. Did not Hon. Henry
Wllson,lnterposo as soon as he could to pre.
vent Brooks trom,killing him on. the spot?
My memory Infortos me that thl4e *ere a
number of Democrats standing arinidd, among
whom ware Stephen A. Douglas. and none of
tbem °floret' to stay the murderous hand tUI
Wilson came upon the reendi by . accident.
Now, wuere is Sumner? Forgettlag the gut.
ta percha cane that fell heavily upon his head,
he tries to do an injury to the man who say.
