Ja pursuance resolution of tba Re

meeting bcld la Hsrrisburg tbti day, a Re
publca Stale Convention, to be composed
of dVlegates from each Senatorial and Rep
resentative district, to the number to which
ach district U entitled in the Legislature,
Is hereby called to meet in the city of Ilar
risburg, at 12 o'clock, noon, on WEDNES
DAT, MARCH 29, 1878, for the purpose of
nominating an Electoral ticket and of elec
ting Senatorial and Representative dele
gates to represent the Sutc in the Republi
can National Convention, to be held at Cin
cinnati, Ohio, on the 14th day of June,
1976. By order of the Committee,
IlrxtT II. llorr, Chairman.
A. TCilsos Noes is, Secretary.
Babcock The Easiness of the
Bepablic is Corrupt.
Babcock baa been acquitted. Tbere
ii a general feeling of satisfaction tbat
be was not found guilty. Tbe country
it glad tbat tbe whisky ring bui
cess was proven guiltless of tba cor
ruption of an officer wbo stood so near
tba bead of tbe National government.
Tbe startling disclosure of eon-option
io almost every avenue of business,
from tLe loast to 'be greatest, ia a sore
evidence of tbe almost putrid rotten
ness of business life of tbe Republic.
To put a loan into office ia the next
thing to proclaiming him a candidate
for corruption. Tbe business of tbe
country is so rotten that aa soon a a
man it installed in office it does, through
its organised cbanuela, try to manage
bim ; and man, not baviog yet been
purged of tbe innate depravity engen
dered bj the fall of Eve, the mother of
tbe race, falls nnder the temptation
tbat is daily offered. One of tbe ugli
est feature of tbis mass of corruption
i tbat tbe men wbo contribute the
funds to corrupt tbe officials pass through
society without a taint ot corruption
on tbeir garmeuts. Tbe contribute
funds, tnd encourage in other ways to
tbe work tbat produces tbe fall of an
official, and then are tbe loudest in the
Lunt to bring down tbe man who has
fallen by tbe wajside bj tbe tempta
tion of tbeir money or influence. -
It is right tbat officials wbo are guilty
abould be punished, but it is lime tbat
the ejes of tbe country be turned to
the business cess-prola behind tbe
scene, from which if a man once drinks
be loses bis virtue. These pools are
among the business people iu tbe
whisky business, iu tanks, in merchan
dise, in the railroad business. They
are the circles that, from time to time
as they deem that tbeir business re
quires, sweep down the members of
Legislatures and other officials.
If Uaboock was tempted and did not
fall, which a Missouri jury said be did
not, aud we are bound to accept tbat
verdict, then all honor to bim for bis
personal honesty. There are men who,
if put in office, can and will withstand
every swell of corrupt temptation that
may be rolled up against ibem, but as the
rottenness of tbe business of the coun
try extends itscif, they will become
fewer and fewer, until tbeir number
will be so reduced that it will bave no
weight against tbe mass of rottenness
that presses in from all sides.
Tbere are writers now wbo publicly
proclaim tbat there is little personal
honesty, tbat canoot be bought, outside
of the army officials. It is not tbe pur
pose here to say augtit against their
writing. If true, it is only a link in
the evidence against the corrupt bust
ness of tbe country, for the army offi
eer aa a rule are not brought into con
tact with tbe business world, and hence
are not contaminated by its slime.
Tho great mass of the people are in
tercsted iu the purity of tbeir officials.
Tbey should UrJk a little deeper, down
into tbe fountain, wbeuce comes the
force that ruins tbeir representatives,
and see tbat some responsibility at
taches also to tbe circles wbo debauch
so many men. In nine eases in ten it
is the business tbat ruins and corrupts
tbe officials. Tbe business of the Re
public is corrupt.

BebelPrisons-The Truth of His
tory. " Walt Whitman, the ftoetf. whose
services as a volunteer Burse ia the
field and array hospitals ia and around
Washington during the civil wat are not
forgotten by the country at large, or tba
soldiers be atteudrd, bas in press aval
aable volume of "memoranda of tbe
war.'" It is simply a transeriptioa of
notes taken at the time, and gives in the
powerful and picturesque pmee of which
Mr. U hitman is master, tbeaeeaeaaad
circumstances of which be was aa eye
witness or connected with. In advance
portions of this work tie following par
agraph appears. It so vigorously de
lineates the condition of oar men re
turning from Aodersonville and other
prison pens tbat it should be widely
circulated. The date is early in 1865 :
"Th released prisoner of war are
now coming np from tbe Southern
prisons. 1 bave seen a number of tbem.
Tbe sight ia worse than any sight of
battle fields or any collections of
wounded, even the bloodiest Tbere
was (as a sample j one Urge boat load
of several hundred brought about tbe
25 tb to Aonopolis, and oat of the whole
number only three individuals were able
to walk from the boat. The rest were
carried ashore and laid down in one
place or another. Can those be men
those little livid-brown, ash-streaked,
monkey-looking drawfs ? Are tbey
really not mummied, dwindled corpses ?
Tbey lay tbere, most of them, quite
still, bnt with a horrible look in their
eyes and skinny lips, often with not
enough flesh on tbeir lips to cover tbeir
teeth. Probably no more appalling
sight was ever seen on tbis earth.
'There are deeds, crimes, tbat may be
forgiven, bat tbis is not among ihem.
It steeps its perpetrators in blackest,
escapeles, endless damnation. Over
50,000 have been compelled to die tbe
death of starvation. Reader, did you
ever try to realise wr-at starvation ac
tually is, in those prisons and in a land
of plenty ?)
"An indescribable meanness, tyranny,
aggravating .course of insults, almost
incredible, was evidently the rule of
treatment through all the Southern
military prisons. The dead there are not
to be pitied as much as some of tbe liv
ing tbat come from there if they can
be called living; many of them are
mentally imbecile, and will never recu
perate." Mr. Whitman's description bas all
tbe more value from tbe fact tbat it is
that of a competent sritie and observer,
and tbat sinee the above was written
its author has been pronounced in favor
of amnesty and reunion. There ia a
cloud of witnesses who speak as from
the grave. Mr. Dans and his t'onfed
erate associates will find tbat audacity
will not overthrow the facts. Truly,
Whitman's description shows tbat the
men he ssw came from "out tb jaws of
death ; out of tbe gates of bell."

Tbe history of the Civil War is related

delity to truth. The author pleads tbe
cause of no party or section. He Mates

teach, and appealing to neither passion
nor political feeling, trusts to tbe good
sense of his countrymen to sustain his
views. Tbe book contains sn Appendix,

Hair Vigor
For restoring to dray Hair its)
natural Vitality and Color.
A dressing
wliieh is at
once agreea
ble, healthy,
and effectual
for preserv
ing the hair.
It soon re
stores failed
or gray hair
to its original
eolar, with the glos and freshness of
ynuth. Thin hair is flik'fcened, falL
ing harr checked, and baldness often,
though not always, cured by its
nse. Nothing ran restore the hair
where the follicles are destroyed, or
the glands atrophied and decayed ;
but such as remain ran be saved by
this application, and stimulated into
activity, so that a new growth of
hair is produced. Instead of foulin g
the hair with a pasty sediment, it
will keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will present the hair
from turning gray or falling oS,
and consequently prevent baldness.
The restoration of vitality it gives
to the scalp arrests and prevents
the formation of dandruff, which is
often so uncleanly and offensive.
Free from those deleterious sub
stances which make some prepara
tions dangerous, and 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. Contain
ing neither oil nor dye, it does not
soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich,
glossy lustre, and a grateful perfume.
