SuHect "The Southern Situation."
Take the offer, Senator.
The South is talking of sending an
agent to Europe to prevail on Euro
pean capitalists to invest in the South.
If the South would be more- concili
atory toward the North, all the capi
tal she needs might be obtained.
Os Monday a week a most success
ful baby show was held in Newark,

that the Treasurer had run away with
the funds.
The questions of finance and com
merce are the secondary questions,
in the great war between the Turk
and Russian. The highest question
is involved, that of principle, that
underlies two different systems of
civilization, and yet with all that, the
war has not taken a etroog hold on
the public mind.
A BILL has been introduced in Cou-
gresa by Senator Beck, of Kentucky,
to repeal all provisions and penalties
against those who participated in the
Rebellion. The shifting of the polit
ical situation is worthy of the most
serious study, and time Kill demon
strate whether the lenient policy that
has been inaugurated, is the wise one.
There is a new National doctor, and
while be attends the patient his pre
scriptions must be followed.
President IIates has shown bis
band enough to indicate the futility of
any attempts at repudiation, either by
the repeal of the Resumption act or the
unlimited resumption of silver. We
wish we cou'd be as sure that he would
stand by the labor ef the country with
the fame firmness which be shows in
support of capital. The W ajs and
Means Ccmmiuee is evidently bent on
a policy which will close every iron
mine, blow out every blast furnace, and
stop every mill in Pennsylvania, the
eeond State in the Union, and one
which has done more for its icaterial
prosperity than any other. There is
now 500,000,000 of capital irrevoca
bly locked up in the anthracite coal
mines and their railroads, which can
never pay the annual interest upon this
enormons sum. The millions which
Lave been invested in the iron manu
factures of the State, with the promise
ot protection by the government, are
now almost unproductive, and if the
tariff revision should be carried these
also will be buried past hope. We
might reconcile ourselves to this if it
were the loss of the few and the gan
of the many, but it is not. The price
paid tor iron represents almost entirely
money paid for labor, and of every
dollar paid for foreign iron and steel
three quarters goes directly to foreign
labor. In ship- building it is estimated
that at least four fifths of the cost of a
vessel represents labor. Besides this,
experiecoe has Ungbt os that free trade
has never giveu us cheaper metals.
The irou-aiasters of Europe are quick
to see their advantage if we give them
a monopoly, and, with the furnaces of
Pennsylvania still, the price will br
kept as high as if the tariff was most
vigorous. We must be awake to the
danger that threatens us, and lose no
opportunity to fight the strong combi
nations that are trying to rnin us.

Tbe Pittsburg Presbytery on
Dancing.
At a reeent meeting of the Pitts
burg Presbytery, Rev. Dr. Jennings
presented a paper strongly condemning
promiscuous danciDg, now on the in
crease, which he said demanded a
prompt and effective check. A paper
waa adopted as follows :
Resolved, That in accordance with
the deliverance of the General Assem
bly, and previous act of this Presby
tery, we express our deep sense of the
evil of promiscuous dancing and kin
dred amusements, as detrimental to the
influence of religion and tbt cultiva
tion of personal piety, and we call upon
our pastors aocl sessions to use all rea-
ooabl and jbdicious efforts to abate
and remove tbe practice from among
our people. "
Senator Patterson Judge' Hum
phrey's Decision.
A dispatch front "Washington, un
der date of the 5th inst, explains
itself, thus : Judge Humphreys, this
morning, delivered his Opinion in the
matter of John J. Patterson, relator
on a writ of habeas corpus to be re
leased from the warrant of arrest on
the requisition of the Governor of
South Carolina. The Judge's opin
ion was elaborate. He denied the
jwwer of the State of South Caro
lina to vacate Senator Patterson's
commission, which must continue un
till constitutionally revoked, in pur
suance of organic authority. It
could not be said that Senator Pat
terson was a fugitive from justice, as
he was here in tbe discharge of offi
cial duties, like all other members of
Congress, and, besides, he had acted
in the capacity of Senator years be
fore the present indictment was
brought against him in the South
Carolina Court. The Judge conclud
ed Lis opinion as follows :
" I think I am bound to take judi
cial cognizance that party organiza
tion is one thing and faction to de
stroy it is another. The most cruel
tyranny would be the application of
the civil forms of law to the doiui-nant-0
and triumph of the passions of
a faction.
4i I cannot reconcile it to my sense
of duty to give aid in placing mana
cles and handcuffs aroiuid and. about
the individual citizen for the purpose
of surrendering him bound into the
hands of those who may not be dis
passionate enough to vindicate the
true right of the individual, or to
those who might be led by impas
sioned appeals to a condition of mind
J that could not resist Zeal for the
correction of wrong has led to the
conviction of the innocent
" It is the duty of courts to sit
still, deliberate, and, with civil pro
cedure, throw their protection in such
a direction as may curb and control
wayward action. Let the man be re
macded to the body of which he is a
member. That body is legally, con
stitutionally, morally, intellectually
capacitated to dispose of the ques
tions involved, and to condemn or
acquit. I discharge him from the
arrest of the warrant for his extra
dition, and the same is hereby or
dered."
Senator Patterson was congratu
lated on the result by his immediate
friends, and with them retired from
the court-room.
One of the hist tliuigs to be done
by the next Legislature of Ohio
should be to amend the militia law.
A great deal of abuse has been show
ered upon the ride clubs of South
Carolina as organizations of bull
dozers, when, in fact the laws virtu
ally prohibited the formation of any
white militia companies ; but the Re
publican Legislature of Ohio, last
May, adopted a new militia law which
prohibited, by implication, the organ
ization of any except white compa
nies. Of course, this was not the
intention of the majority, but the
Adjutant General has taken advan
tage of it to disband several colored
companies, lliis is the more unfor
tunate because the new Legislature,
being Democratic, will not give the
negro any more rights than it can
help. Nevertheless the Republicans
can make the attempt, and at least
put the majority on record. jYorth

A Remarkable Presentiment.
From the Washington Republican.
In March last while the ill-fated
United States steamer Huron was
lying in the harbor- of Port Royal,
S. C, Lieutenant Arthur H. Fletcher,
her executive officer, left the vessel
on a twenty-four hours' leave of ab
sence, and, failing to return at the
expiration of that time, the ship
sailed for another port without him.
A few days after Mr. Fletcher re
turned to Port Royal, reported to
Commodore J. H. B. Clitz, "senior
naval officer present" and stated to
him that for some time past he had a
presentiment that if he went to 6ea
in the Huron for the purpose of fin
ishing the cruise (two years) he would
be wrecked. This feeliug took com
plete possession of his mind, and he
used every means to get detached,
but the Navy Department refused to
order it without a better reason.
When he found that all his efforts
had failed, he left the Huron in the
manner stated, with the intention not
to return. For this he was placed
under arrest and tried by court mar
tial, at "Washington Navy Yard, in
August last In defense he made a
statement in substance as above, and
called Commodore Clitz, Commander
George P. Ryan, of the Huron, and
other officers to prove that before
leaving the ship he had told them of
the dread in fact, horror be had
of finishing the cruise in the vessel.
This is a matter of record, on file in
the Navy Department and though
such a line of defence was laughed at
when made, the fate of the Huron
will cause many superstitious people
to think that Mr. Fletcher's premo
nition was fully proven to be a true
one by the wreck off Kitty Hawk,
North Carolina.
A well known lawyer of Dallar,
Texas, hitherto believed to be proof
against woman's charms, fell over
head and ears in love with Genevieve
Rodgers upon seeing her the first
time, acting in Maud Muller. He
did not wish to run the risk of a re
fusal by writing a note soliciting an
interview, so he tried to bribe the
waiter who carried the actress's meals
to her room to let him fill that office
only once, but all to no purpose.
Miss Rogers left Dallas, ignorant of
the mil wreck she made.

to its original
eolor, icitA the gloxs and freshness of
ytttth. Thin hair is thickened, fail
ing hair checked, and baldness often,
though not always, cured bj its
oe. Clothing can restore the hair
where the follicles are destroyed, or
the glands atrophied and decayed ;
but such as remain can be saved by
this application, and stimulated into
activity, so that a new growth of
hair is produced. Instead of fouling
the Lair with a pasty sediment, it
will keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will present the hair
from turning gray or falling off,
and consequently prevent baldness.
The restoration of vitality it gives
to the scalp arrests and prevent
the formation of dandruff, which i
often so uncleanly and offensive.
Free from those deleterious sub
stances which make some prepara
tions dangerous, and injurious to tho
hair, the Vigor can only benefit, but
not harm it. If wanted merely for
a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else
can be fonnd so desirable. Contain
ing neither oil nor dye, it does not
soil white cambric, and yet last
long on the hair, giving it a richy
glossy lustre, and a grateful perfume.
