Ayer's Hair Vigor, For restoring to Gray Hair its natural Vitality and Color. colon with the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling 'lntir 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 such as remain can be saved by this application, and stimu 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 usewill prevent the hair front turning gray or falling off, and. consequently prevent baldness. The restoration of vitality it gives to the scalp arrests and prevents the forma lion of dandruff, which is often so un cleanly and offensive. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and iniu rimis 1:o the hair, the Vigor can only ben* but not liana it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it lbws not soil white cambric, and yet bets long on the hair, giving it a rich. glo lustre, and a grateful perfume. =MI Prepared by Dr. J. C.

A vast - trial of its virtues. throughout this and iil V . other countries, ims shown that it does surely and effectually control them. The testimony of our best citi zens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that . CHERRY PECTORAL will and does relieve and cure the afflicting disorders of the Throat and Lungs beyond any other medicine. The utmost dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs yield to its power; and cases of Consumps lion, cured by this preparation, nre public ly known, so remarkable as hardly to ho be lieved, were they not proven beyond dispute. As a remedy it is adequate, on which the public may rely fur full protection.. By curing Coughs, tie forerunners of more serious disease, it saves unnumbered lives, , and an amount of su ff ering not to be computel. It challenges trial, and con vinces the !mist sceptical. Every family should keep it on hand as a protection against the early and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Affections, which are easily met at first, but which become incurable, and too often fatal, if neglected. Ten der lungs need this defendt; and it Is unwise to be without it. As a safeguard to children, amid the dtdressing diseases which besot the Throat and Chest of Childhood, CHERRY PECTORAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use,. multi. tudes are rescued from premature' graves, and saved to the love and affection centred on them. It acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds, securing soniiil and health-restoring sleep.

No. 204 Church St., Phfrade!plan Jueee.4mw Letter from Judge W. D. Kelley-- Plain .Trntlis Plainly Stated. lion. W. D. Kelley has written from Lara. mle, Wyoming Territory, a letter to his con affluents In Philadelphia, formally accepting the Republican nomination for another tern; of service In the House of Representatives. In doing this lie takes occasion to express his pleasure with the renomination of President Grant, as a just tribute to a faithful and de. serving Executive. Ile rapidly reviews the public services of the President in his mint,' ry and civil capacities, and. in illustration of the results of his administration in restoring peace and order at the South Judge Kelley pointedly says : Without force or violence the President hos broken up the military organization tenowu as the Ku Klux, and secured to every citizen of each State the ability to enjoy all the privi. leges and and immunities pertaining to Amer. scan citizenship in every State. What great and munificent results he has thus produced, the report of General Schurz and the files of the New York Tribune for the first half of August, 1872, considered togetber,abundantly show. Security and order now prevail throughout the South, and, borrowing my words frbm the speech of Senator Schurz made in the Senate on the 19th of April, 1870, I say to the Liberal Republicans, as the malcontents style themselves, "Show me the dungeon in which a single man languishes for political offenses; show me the gallows upon which a single one expi ted his crime of treason ; show me the exiles in foreign countries who might not this very moment return unmolest ed to their homes. Where are they '?" No man can tell, for in enforcing the laws the President has but to quote the Senator again, "fulfilled his duty to protectthe conquerors in the South against the civil spirit of the con quered I" Judge Kelley proceeds to review the char acter and results of the President's Indian policy, which he has justly and courageously managed, in the face of partisan hostility and the opposition of the Indian ring. The re. forms effected in the revenue service, of which Judge Kelley has personal and particular knowledge, because of his position on the Committee of Ways and Means, are thus clear ly and cogently set forth : On tb 4th of March, 1809, when Grant was inaugrated, there were in the employ of the "(lice of Internal Revenue, 0,277 persons, and the cost of assessing and collecting this branch of the revenue for thepreceding twelve months had been $7,699,477.72. Ilas he as President attempted to retain the power, the continu ance of this branch of the service would give him? Neither Sumner nor Schurz tins had the effrontery to charge him with this, , or in each annual message he has expressed his de sire for the rapid reduction of Internal taxes, and the earliest practicable abolition of the whole system of taxation which requires the collector and assessor to dog the steps of the citizen. Treating with derision the teachhes of those who would maintain this burdensome and Inquisitorial system of taxes In order to relieve the foreigner who would compete in our markets with.the productions of onr'own labor from paying anything for the privilege, he has persistently urged the maintenance of duties on foreign manufactures and the repeal of internal taxes. Fortunately the majority of Congress has been in accord with him on this point, and the internal tax system totters to its fall. I have no hesitation in predicting that it will be abolished before the expiration of President Grant's second tea tn. On the Ist of January, 1872, or in less than three years from his inauguration, the number of employ ees in the service has been reduced fifty per cent. between the Ist of October and the close of the year. Tue strict accountability to which the ad ministration has held its employes is proven by many pregnant facts. Thus, under Mr. Johnson, a spirit tax of $2 per gallon yielded but $13,000 000 ; while under Grant and Bout well, taxes amounting to 03 cents per gallon yielded $42,000,000 per annum. But a more general demonstration of fidel . ity with which the revenues of the Govern ment have been collected and applied is found in the tact that, coincidently'with the repeal of so many productive Internal taxes and the transfer to the free list of tea, coin°, spices, gums, and many other articles, the duties on which took from the people about $50,000,000 per annum, our national currency and our bonds have steadily appreciated in value, and 'our debt has been reduced at the rate of $lOO,- 000,000 per annum. It is now aboht three years and five months since President Grant was inaugurated, and in that brief period Ms faithful administration has reduced our annual interest account $22,000,050, of which .$20,• 000,000, was extinguished by the payment of bonds, and $2,000,000 by the exchange of six per cents. These astonishing results prove the unexampled prosperity of the country,aud admonish us to avoid change. How they must impress the statesmen and capitalists of other countries may be inferred from a remark submitted to. Parliament by Mr. Gladstone, Chancellor of the Exchequer, on the 2.1 of June, 1871. It had been proposed to relieve the overburdened laborers of the British Is lands by reducing the duties on tea, coffee, and sugar. Mr. Gladstone opposed the meas ure, and, appealing to the patriotism of the people, mane an exhibit of the rapt lity with which the national debt and the consequent intereshacco Int were belag reduced. I his exhibit, fur a comparison to which he chal lenged the annals of the world, was as fol. lows :—"Hav leg, therefore, shown that there are excellent reasons why, taking the nation in a corporate capacity as a waole, we should go on paying off the national debt, and hav• Mg also shown that there are good and sub, stantial reasons why we should not wholly re lieve the working classes front' taxation, I now like, if the House will allow me. to say a few words on another aspect of this subject, on which I have collected some statistics, which, 1 am persuaded, will be found to be not without Interest, and Ike effect of which will be to exhibit the most remarkable evidence of national p ()verity which the- world ever saw. For this purpose .1 take three permits in the present century-1825, 1850. and 1870 1— and apply certain tests of public prosperity to these different periods. The total amount 01 funded and unfunded debt vas, in 1825, £809,801.408 ; in 1850, £787,038,102 ; and in 1870 1, £737,400,237. The total payments for Interest, Etc., of d ht Including tr rminable an nuities, were, In 1825, only ten years after the war, was over, £30,2115.208; in 1850, £28,297- 503. and in 1870 1, £26,820,430. So that, ut this period, when we are Invited to stop our payment of debt and apply the money to the reduction of taxation or to the service of the year, we are actually paying nearly £4000,000 annually lees forth.charge of the debt than In 1825." I have taken the liberty of italicizMg a few words the better to emphasize the contrast between the results of forty•llve years thus triumphantly presented and those ut forty-one months of President Grant's administration. If the reduction of the British debt, $309,906,- 155, and her interest account, $20,000.000, in forty-five-years exhibits "the most remarkable evidence of national prosperity which the world ever saw," what must be the measure of our prosperity as attested by the fact that, with constantly diminishing taxation, Grant's andministration has in forty-one months re duced the debt $330.226.350, and the interest account $22,000,000. In view of these exhib its the American people may well givo heed to the adage, "Let well enough alone." Cato at Iteptsbll . 4:ntt . Voter Support tt Greeley 13= The result in Vermont and Maine, says the Cleveland Leader, has convinced the Liberal- Democratic coalition that all prospects of the election of Greeley are at an end They have, then fore, practicaily given up the contest for President, and are bending every energy to the work of carrying local elections.' The Democratic-Liberal programme now is to elect a Greeley majority in Congress. They it, WI to paralyze President Grant's administration by confronting him with 11 hostile Congress If they succeed we shall have four years more of dead lock similar to that which existed dur ing Johnson's administration, but with the conditions reversed. Such a result would be a practical victory for the confederate party. A. Republican administration should be sus tained by a Republican Congress, or the peace, the stability and prosperity of the past two years will be at any time liable to rupture and overthrow. The Republican who supports Grant, but votes for a Greeley Congressman, votes to manacle the President for, the next four years and to neutralize the power of Re publicanism. , Secretary BnutwelPs debt statenikd for September shows the enormous reducibm of $10,827,848 20. The decrease since the in auguration of President Grant's Administra tion amounts to 4318, 408,18185. THE WHOLE REPUBLICAN TICKET I=lll PIMA., SEPT. 20, 1872. —To the Editor of the Evening Bulletin :—W ill you permit a Southern man, "one to the marmor born," who has spent fifty years of his life in that section, whose interest, social, political and financial, is still there, to say a few words in regard to the present political questions of the day ? And first, let me correct some of the statements made by Mr. Grealey 'in one of his late speeches "as he swings around the circle." He says "that the party who now support his election have no idea of pressing any claim, should they get into power, to be paid for the slaves lost by the Emancipation Proclamation, or to have their soldiers' wid ows and orphans pensioned." No one who knows the feelings of the secesh element of the South would dare make such declaration there, for one of their strongest reas ns for supporting a [nail who has always been offen• sive to them is that they hope, from his known vacillating character and his Inconsistent isms, to so control the legislation of Congress as to carry into dint bath of these measures. I know whatl do state. Mr. Greeley harps upon the course of the general government towards the still existing rebel clement prevailing throughout a great part of the South. But for the strong arm of the Federal power, not a single colored teen would be allowed to vote at the corning elec tion ; they would be allowed " no rights that white man should respect." The South is fast recovering from the effects of Its rebellion, but change the administration, and annuity and it war of races will be inaugurated, caus ing desolation and.. ruin. Fields now white with the cotton crop would again be left un cultivated, and soon the market now being opened for the manufactories of the North would be closed. Let the mechanics of Penn sylvania remember this, both in the Stale and Presidential elections, for if the Republican State ticket is defeated, it will be heralded throughout the South that the Keystone State has gone with the enemies of a free govern ment. • U. G. FIENDIST WORK. A Paesenger Lornmotit•n Thrown Ores a Forty Fo o t Embankment—Two Erpre.. Car. flail 'gain it, Killing the Engineer and Fireman. From the Harrisburg Journal of the 2d One of the most diabolical attempts at pre meditated murder that has occurred for some time, took place on the Pennsylvania railroad, about halipast one o'clock, yesterday morn ing, about :hirty miles west of Philadelphia, at a point between Steamboat Station and Gar riot's Siding, where there is considerable of a curve in the road, and a pretty steep embank meUt. The Cincinnati express east, which left this city at 10 30 on Monday evening, was drawn by engine 332, Samuel Keller engineer, and Philip Cline, sun of Mr. John Cline, of this city, fireman. The men on the engine went out, on Monday night, oil their regular run, which would have been in rotation next day. When the train reached the point above re ferred to, the engine left lie track, and was precipitated down an embanktnent about forty feet, and two cars of the Alienist express com pany were thrown upon it crushing the en gine into a shapeless mass, killing Mr. Keller and Mr. Cline almost instantly, mutilating them in a shocking manner. Their bodies were not recovered for several hours after ward, until the debris and express goods were removed, when it was necessary to jack the engine up, to get Cline out from under the ash pan. Fortunately, when the engine and express cars left the rail, the jarring of the train broke the coupling, and disconnected the passenger cars from the engine and cars in front of them. A passenger asserts that a wedge bad been fastened on the south side of the tracky and a rail was loosened and elevated on the opposite side. The sharp curve and sleep embank ment were well chosen for the diabolical act, and it was by a mere miracle that some of the passengers were not killed nor injured. The utmost consternation prevailed for some time, and measures were immediately taken to remove the pile of debris and get the dead bodies of the fireman and engineer out from among the.mass of rubbage. Mr. Keller, we believe, is a native of Lan caster county, and had been in the employ of the Pennsylvania railroad company for some years past, and was nniversally esteemed by all who knew MM. lie boarded at the Eagle House, Pennsylvania avenue, for the past three years. Philip Cline, the fireman, was the son of Mr. John Cline, and resided with his father on South street, between Second and Front streets. He was nu active member of the Hope Fire Company, was a soldier in the w.r of tee rebellion, and was highiy respected in this city. Humor has it that he was engaged to be married, shortly. His remains will reach this city at 10.35, this morning. Mr. Keller, we were informed, will be burled iu Lancaster county. We learn front Col. Bingham, the reliable agent of the Adams express company in this city, that the express cars were tilled with goods, much of Which, cf course, will be damaged. The occurrence has caused universal regret in this city, where both the men who lost their lives by the act of a fiend incarnate, were well known. 1. TRUE HERO 4 Yoaari Man &tees a ChiWs Life at the Risk of =IBM Yesterday morning, says the Elizabeth, N. J. Monitor,.of Saturday, as a local train on the Central road was crossing Morris avenue Mrs. Dr. R. W. Martin attempted to cross,o e track with a baby carriage, in which — lai r an Infant about a year old. The train was com ing faster than she had calculated, and in lens tone than the circumstances can be related tie car was upon them. The rear platform of the car,which projects about three feet beyond the wheels, chught the carriage, tore it out of Mrs. Martin's hands and carried it along backwards a distance of several feet. The destrurtioe of the carriage and the crushing of the infant, In it seemed inevitable, when a young man named George Guempel sprang forward and with a presence of mind which was as rare,us the deed was courageous and heroic. He seized the baby carriage and at the Imminent risk of his own safety, con tinued to keep It ahead of the car until he could release the wheels from the track It was all the work of a few moments, but a no bier act: of heroism or more magnificent piece of bravery and coolness has randy hen re corded. Tile affair was witnessed by many who happened to be in the vicinity of the de• pot, all of whom gave up the child for lost.

It is well known, says the Democrat, that Greeley would have supported Chase had he received the Democratic nomin• ation In 1808 • but finally supported Grant in preference to 'Seymour. At an informal Re publican caucus in Washington, in 1870, it wits decided to run Grant again, and to con ciliate Greeley by putting hint On the ticket for Vice President. This brought out Colfax's letter of declination. Greeley was present at this caucus, and agreed to the arrangement. In the spring of 1i,71 he made his trip to Texas, and on his return told his friends he was strong enough to take the first place on the ticket, avowing ale determination to run in 1872. Greeley meditated running on the ticket with „Giant more than a year before the Cincinnati Convention was thought of. The constant howl for reconciliation to minds an exchange of the child who went bawling up stairs and down, "Ma I ma I Susan won't pacify me l" Ilthe Southern chivalry wish to ho in concord with the nation, "who's a benderin' on 'cm ?" oaks our friend from, the country. floruce Greeley Is bald ling of 100,000 ma jority In New York I And yet It Is every day becoming moro manifest that ho will be,repu. dialed by his own Stale, if not even by his own city, In which a majority of about 00,000 was figured up for Seymour four years ago.

Yours in grlef, BILLY D 011 SON Sectarian Culture and What Conies of it Idis not to lre denied that thaecultare which accompanies devotion to ascertain systems and ideas is not admirable. It is equally beyond dispute that the style of personal character which accompanies such culture is not lovea ble. The limit of sympathy is alike the limit of culture and of loveableness. It is a matter of surprise that men whose Christian honesty, purity, and self devotedness are conceded on every hand are often men with whom we do not find ourselves attracted—men with whom we have little that is common. There are clergymen of great power and influence in their own denomination who are so entirely out of place is general society that they never appear in it. Their whole lite runs in a sec tarian rut, and tends toward, and ends at, a sectarian goal. There are great inu Ititudes of laymen of the same sort, who have no associ ations outside of their own church. hugging the thought that they monopolize the truth, they can regard no other sect with hearty tol eration and respect. Their sympathies are shortened in every direction, and their culture fails to be admirable, because it is based on one-sided views of truth, and limited by the prescribed tenets of their faith. It 13 not au answer to this statement to say that true Chris tianity is never popular, and t h e t even its Founder was not popular. It was the narrow sects that hated Him. It was the Scribes and Pharisees whom Ile denounced that despised Him. The continua people heard Ihim gladly and followed Him, and received His• society and ministry by thousands. It it also not to be deaied that there arc styles or character and culture only indirectly formed by Cnristian ideas, or influenced by them, that are extrentely loveable. There are men and women who have had no conscious Christian experience, whose faith is either a negative or a most indefinite onantfly, who make no public profesion of piety, who do not even privately' coma themselves among Chritfians in name, yet they are nevertheless among Cie most amiable that we know. Their courtesy, their tier evolence,their thormigh in tegrity of character, their heartY good will manifested in all society, their toleration and charity, make them universal favorites. I hey ignore all s .ets a d religious and political dif ferences, anti become social centres sometimes for the church itself. Many Chrht aus preter them for companions to those who are enrolled with them on church registers, and are puzzed to know why it is that they love them more than they do those who are nominally their brethren.

Thank God, it will have to watt some time on that. I have heard of no Gree ley elector being shot at or in the least mat.. treated.

How Is THlS?—Tennessee was the birth place of the policy of coalescing with the Democrats for "conciliation and purification." The policy has been tried now for three years with the following results : All the principal offices tu the State Government are held by men who served in the Confederate army ; the State has been doubly gerryma idered to disfranchise Republicans, once in the Con. gressional districts ; the payment of the politic debt—which had been lessened $4,250,000 in three years under Republican rule—has been stopped ; the schools are nearly all closed ; the treasury is empty, with $700,000 State warrants out; the State credit has sunk, and over $2,000,000 is overdue trout State irrx col lectors.

At Greensburgh, Indiana, on the 22d inst., Gen. Joseph R. Hawley, of Connecticutopoke to a large Republican meeting, and referring to Greeley's Pittsburgh speech said :—As one of the signers of the call for the Pittsburgh Convention, its temporary President, and a member of the Committee on Resolutions, I have a word to say in reply to Mr. Greeley. Coming , to Pittsburgh the day after the Con .vention, exasperated by Its success, ho said : " A large number of persons were collected here ma vast expense, with the single purpose of rekindling the bittertess and hatred, the animosity and antipathies, the fears and exal tations of civil war, for the advantage of a po litical party." Twice he made these charges in one brief speech. I speck deliberately,four days after I first read these remarks ; I speak with a full sense of what I am saying when I say the charge was infamously and malignant. ly false. I appeal to the thirty thousand sol diers who were there. No assembly of Penn• sylvania Friends was ever more generously disposed. We disowned emphatically the spirit of revenge, declared the war closed at Appomattox, and, with "malice toward none and charity for all," entended the right band of fellowship to all who accept the results of the war and obey the Constitution and laws, enthusiastically welcomed the letter from Confederate soldiers, and spent over two days in a love-feast of good-fellowship and patriot. Ism. Not a word of our resolutions, not a syllable of our speeches, not a cry or cheer Justified the slanders of Mr. Greeley.

This campaign has had many able and admirable speeches, and in spite of the general drift of partisanship, many fair and candid ones. Doubtless among, the Inglorious crowd of tenthrate orators who have gabbed here and there in New England and the West, there fNava been as stupid• and knavish speeches as Greeley's, hut the country has no record of them. TEACHERS INSTITUTE. The second semimonthly meeting of the Allen town Teachers Institute was held in the Fifth Ward school building, September 28, 1872. At the appointed time, the meeting was called to order by President L. P. Hecker, and formally opened by singing" A Hundred Years to Come." The minutes of the previous meeting were then . read and approved. Forty-nine teachers respond ed at roll•call. Recitations being next In order, the following were heard :—From 9 to 9:45, Men tal' Philosophy by Mr. G. H. Desch and Physical Geography by Supt. R. K. Buehrle ; from 9:45 to 10:30, German (hereafter by Prof. Brautik) and Written Arithmetic by Mr. 11. G. PA*: from 10:30 to. 11:30, Methods of luetroction by Superintendent Buehrle. On motion Mr. I. W. Rodgers was ap pointed to procure books for the class in Methods of Instruction. On motion adjourned. Afternoon &Mon.—The Institute wan called to order at a few minutes past ono o'clock. The Secretary bolug absent, L. B. Landis was.elected to act us Secretary pro tern. The roll was then culled, when thirty-eight teachers responded to their nor^ cc. A deferred recitation In School Economy was beard by Supt. Ituehrte,forowed by recitatious In Grammar and Fibtory, under their respective leach era. A resolution, pronouncing the week beginning December 30th as the most suitable time to attend the County Teachers' Convention, was adopted. The Institute then proceeded to discuss the ques tion " Are works of fiction productive of more good than evil 7" The discussion was opened on the affirmative by Mr. J. I. Cawley, whose remarks were In substance as follows : The reading of fic tion, IfJudielousiv Indulged in, la highly belie• licial. The term le often misapplied. Not only novels, but the gems of literature are fiction. In proof of this we have the works of Shakspeare, Scott, Goldsmith, Coleridge, Byron, Milton and Bunyan. Our Sunday Schools are sustained by our Sunday School literature, yet It is to a great ex tent fiction.

But the Indictment of anti-fiction readers will be Bled against novels, especially. The speaker admitted that not all novels are good. Yon can generally discover the good by means of criticism of the press. A good novel possesses the following quali ties : let, Attractiveness. This creates a love , for reading. 2d, Language. In poetry and fictiou ls found a beauty of language which can not be found In works on philosophy and chemistry. 3d, It gives the moat perfect pictures of society. The effect of reading fiction then Is, to rouse the mind to activity, to create ambition, to cultivate good manners, and to create a love for reading. Mr. M. T. Kuntz followed on the negative. He stated that he did not wish' to deal with " ifs," but with fictitious reading as It really existed. In our large libraries the best works on fiction are least read. The poorer kind is most sought after. Ho admired the works of Bhakspeare and Milton, not because they are works of fiction—as such they teach little—but because there is a baste of facts, a sound philosophy underlying. The speaker thou showed bow such reading creates a perverted Idea of life. After some addltloual remarks by Messrs. Caw. ley and Kuntz and Miss Grammes, a lecture was read by Mr. 11. F. Datesman on the Matory of Delaware. We refrain from giving an abstract or this lecture, for nothing lees than the whole would do Justice to the author. Suffice to say that he ehowed great familiarity with his subject and treated It In a manner Interesting to his hearers. During the delivery wo noticed several teachers very active in discussing what we Inferred to be the really laughable history of the Delaware. An this was left out by the lecturer, it no doubt seemed proper to them to supply It themselves. Be this as it will, we hope we may not seem over critical by saying that for the sake of order, respect to the lecturer and enabling others to hear, we do think that the advice to defer conversation till after the lecture, would be In Ogee. Next followed a declamation by Miss Addle J. Keck. It was well committed and well delivered, and If this is to be taken as a specimen of the man ner In which our High School graduates will per form their Institute duties, they will eclipse some who are much their seniors In experience In teach ing. Miscellaneous business being next In order, L. B. Landis offered the following resolutions, which were adopted : Resolved, That the Chair appoint a Library Com mittee of five ; which committee shall have control over the library funds, the buying of books, &c.
