THE letter of Judge Black, which the
Philadelphia Press first brought out, is
going all over the country, and its man
ly vindication of Gen. Garfield's integri
ty immeasurably outweighs all the pro
ducts of the slander mills.
SEVERAL of the Pennsylvania dele
gates from Blaine districts, to the late
Chicago Republican National Conven
tion, met with hearty receptions and
public meetings on the return to their
homes, for their faithful carrying out of
the wishes and instructions of their
people.
HON. CHARLES 8. WOLFE, the dis
tinguished anti-ring member of the last
Legislature, and who did so much ser
vice to the State in the late prosecution
of the riot bribers, has again been nom
inated by the Republicans of his coun
ty for the Assembly. This, we believe,
is the fifth time he has been nominated.
THE Petroleum World is the title of
a new daily journal just established at
Titusville, Pa., iu the interests of the
oil producers and against the encroach
ments of the Standard Oil Company.
We have received the first numbers,
which look well, and give the latest
oil and general news. It will be useful
in its particular sphere and we wish it
success.
THE only trouble with some candi
dates now-a-days is, that they did not
get enough of votes to nominate them,
and hence they cry "fraud." Had they,
by hook or crook, or any fraudulent de
vices or schemes, over-topped their
competitors and defeated the honest de
sires and votes of the party, then all
would have been right. They receive,
however, but little sympathy in their
discomfiture.
THE Boston Transcript says of
Judge Black's letter: "The Judge's
aggressive integrity, and his intense
opposition to the Republican party, im
parts to his vindication of Gen. Gar
field's purity its great significance, es
pecially as the Judge had an opportu
nity of knowing all there was to be
learned in reference to the Credit Mo
bilier, and was in no way interested in
Gen. Garfield's exoneration."
HON. WILLIAM G. HEINER, of Kit
taning, is one of the Republican nomi
nees of Armstrong county for the Leg
islature this year. He ran the leading
vote at the late primaries in that coun

Armstrong county, and was known as
a thoroughly honest and efficient mem
ber of the General Assembly. His
constituents could have no more faith
ful gentleman to represent them.
PURSUANT to a call of the Chair
man of the Democratic County Com
mittee, the Democrats of Butler county
are to meet at their respective places
of voting in the several boroughs and
townships, on Saturday, July 3rd,
next, between the hours of 2 and 6
o'clock, p. m., and select two delegates
to represent them in County Conven
tion, in Butler, on Monday the sth
4af of July, following. The object of
the Convention is to place in nomina
tion aaftdidates for the following offi
ces; Coi»gwss. Senate, Assembly,
Distriet Attorney, Associate Judge,
and Coanty Surrayor.
COL. R. B. MCCOMB, of New Castle,
Greenback-Democratic candidate for
Congress four years ago in that dis
trict, says this is the first time in
twelve years that he has been satisfied
with a Republican candidate for Pres
ident, and therefore declares his inten
tion of supporting Gen. Garfield.
TUE Democrats meet in National
Convention at Cincinnati to-day. AY ho
their candidates will be seems as uncer
tain to them as wefe the Republican
ones previous to the meeting of the Chi
cago Convention. Geu. Gariie'd's nom
ination by the Republicans seems to
have encouraged a lot of new "dark
horses" to spring up on all sides lor the
Democratic nomination, each one of
whom thinks ho is the proper man. All
along we thought Tildcn would again
tie nominated. But he has declined.
Their strongest man, however, would be
Gen. Hancock, but being a soldier and
engaged in the trial of Mrs. Surratt,
will likely set him aside.
MB. TILPEN, in his letter withdraw
ing his name from the Cincinnati Con
vention, speaks of "renouncing a re
election to the Presidency." He se<sms
to think he has been President, and
now favors the "one Term principle."
In this he and President Hayes agree,
who also favored but one Term. The
only difficulty is, they both seem to be
President during the same Terra. But
still the position of either is better
than that of Gen. Grant, who favored J
a "third Term," which was decided to
be one too many at least. The "Second
Term" is the medium, and it looks to
us that if all other things had been
right in Mr. Tilden's case, he would
not have had any serious objections to
the two Term principle.
Butler Republicans—Garfield and
Arthur Olub Organized.
Pursuant to notice the Republicans
of Butler met in the Court House, on
Monday evening last, 21st inst., for
the purpose of organizing a Garfield
and Arthur club. On motion, W. H.
H. Riddle, Esq., was chosen temporary
President, and Lewis P. Walker Esq.,
Walter L. Graham, Esq , Maj. James
B. Storey and Mr. J. Harvey Miller,
Vice Presidents. The editors of the
Republican press were requested to
act as Secretaries, and J. T. Donley,
Esq., as Treasurer.
Gen. John N. Purviance was called
upon to state the object of the meeting.
He referred to the action of the Chi
cago Convention and the character of
Gen. Garfield its nominee, commending
both in truthful and appropriate terms.
Want of space prevents us from giv
ing his remarks in full at present.
Hon. John M. Thompson was next
called upon to address the meeting,
which he did at length, referring to
his acquaintance and knowledge of
Gen. Garfield while serving in Con
gress with him. He strongly en
dorsed him as a man of great ability,
a ripe scholar, a sound Republican
and a safe man in all respects. He
referred to Gen. Garfield's views on
the tariff question, which he said were
perfectly sound and all that Pennsyl
vania required or needed. The votes
of Gen. Garfield in Congress had al
ways been on the right side and his
views of protection were always satis
factory to his political friends.
After Mr. Thompson had closed his
remarks the meeting proceeded to ef
fect a permanent organization of "The
Garfield and Arthur Club of Butler,"
as follows:
President—Maj. James B. Storey ;
Vice President—Newton Black, Esq.;
Secretaries—J. T. Donley and W. H.
Lusk, Esqs.; Treasurer—W. A.
Wright. Casper Sherman was chosen
Captain of the marching c'.ub, when
formed, and A. T. Black, W. H. Ens
minger and A. G. Williams, Esqs.,
Lieutenants of the same.
On motion, the President of the club,
Maj. Storey, was authorized to appoint
any further committees that may be
necessary for the future meetings and
action of the club. A. G. Williams,
Esq., was authorized to organize a
glee club.
Before adjourning, Mr. Charles S.
Kerr was called out for a speech,
which he delivered in a very energetic
and forcible manner, creating great
enthusiasm and eliciting rounds of ap
plause at every sentence.
Seventy nine names were placed to
the roll of membership of the club.
The roll will be found in the hands of
the Secretaries, who were authorized
to receive further signatures to the
same. It is expected to contain at
least 200 names in a short tim
The club adjourned to meet at a
time and place designated by the Pres
ident.
The Butler Cornet Band kindly
furnished some of its good music, both
before and during the meeting. The
services of the Cornet were duly ap
preciated.
TROUBLE IN CRAWFORD CO.
It seems they have had trouble in
Crawford county in the nomination of
a candidate for Congress there. We
have not full particulars and therefore
withold any expression of opinion at
present. The following telegrams which
we find in the Pittsburgh papers will
give our readers an idea of the nature
of the trouble:
TITUSVILLE, Pa., June 20.—The
Republican Crawford County Conven
tion of return judges at Meadville on
Friday and Saturday last declared
Senator Walter B. Roberts, of Titus
ville, the nominee for Congress, and
Tyler, Derrickson, Wilson and Low*
ing, nominees for the Assembly. Sena
tor Roberts' majority over Hon. S. B.
Dick, of Meadville, was 113. An at
tempt was made to throw out two elec
tion precincts in Titusville, which mo
tion the convention voted down, but
itl** ISuIUk Cifcxseit: HuiUK, P*., 3*m
the chairman refused to announce the
motion lost. A committee was ap
pointed to investigate the Meadville
returns, but failed to report. A resolu
tion was adopted to appoint a commit
tee to investigate other townships, '"it
the chair, in Dick's interest, refused to
name the committee. A majority of
the return judges nominated Roberts
and a minority nominated Dick. Ihe
Congressional district is composed of
Mercer, Butler and Crawford, and Rob
erts and Dick conferees will both ap
ply for admission. There is intense po
litical excitement in Titusville over
the attempt to throw out the
votes of two wards of the city in
order to count out Senator Roberts,
who was elected on the face of the re
turns, and a mass meeting is called at
the Parshall Opera House for Thurs
day evening.
•Another dispatch from Meadville,
dated 19th inst., says: "The Republi

"CREDIT—MOBIf IER—TO WHOM
CREDIT IS DUE."
ONE OF THE OBIGINATORS LIVING HERE
IN.BUTLER.
As the somewhat celebrated Credit
Mobilier Company, of some years ago,
is again brought before the public, the
following as to its origin \Vill be of in
terest here as well, perhaps, as to the
general reader. The story of Capt. Zieg
ler's connection with it is not entirely
new, and is given now, as narrated by
him recently to us, for the sole purpose
of giving some information as to the
origination of that once extensive com
pany. And here we might premise,
that as the said company in its first in
ception was well intended, and founded
upon lawful business principles what
is stated below is not to be taken as a
discredit to our brother of the Demo
cratic Herald. But the following is
the version given by "Uncle Jake" of
the procurement of the first charter
granted the company by the Legisla
ture of of Pennsylvania. In substance
he states:
Some fifteen years ago, or so, Gen.
Duff Green, of North Carolina, a dis
tinguished and enterprising man in his
day,-came to Harrisburg for the pur
pose of procuring from our Legislature
a charter fvr a company finally called
the "Credit Mobilier." The term is
French, and means the moving or trans
fer of credits in business enterprises.
Gen. Green met him, Mr. at
Ilarrisburg and the result of his visit
was that they two and ex-Governor
David R. Porter, now deceased, met in
the house of cj-Gov. Porter and form
ulated the company. That ii, they
there prepared the charter, then titled
"The Pennsylvania Fiscal Agency,"
aud had the same submitted to and
passed by the Legislature then in ses
sion. Afterwards it seems the title or
name of the company was changed by
a subsequent Legislature to that of
"The Credit Mobilier." For his servi
ces in thus aiding in founding the com
pany, Capt. Zicgter was awarded j».
handsome number of paid up shares ot
its stock. But its first enterprises were
unsuccessful and it met with losses.
About then Uncle Jake_ parted with
his stock, selling the same for the small
sum of some two or three hundred dol
lars. The books, papers, etc., the Oapt,
states, were stolen by some scamps.
But afterwards, it seems, the Company
turned up as the builder of the Union
Pacific Railroad, a grand enterprise,
and went to Congress and received
large aid from the Government in the
building of that road, The stock then
became very valuable, and If the Oapt
had held on to bis, it was estimated it
would have finally realized him over a
million of dollars. His friends regret
that he parted with it so soon. The
Company was subsequently charged
with over-reaching the Government,
and an investigation followed, which re
sulted in its dissolution. Thus, it will
be seen, that the origin of the Compa
ny was in the Pennsylvania Legisla
ture, and that our neighbor of the Her
ald, kuowu for his skiil in that line, had
considerable to do in the preparation of
its first charter, and as our only object
is to state that fact, we omit much else
that might be stated.
Wliito Ground Hog.
A ground hog, about half grown,
and perfectly white, was caught on
Saturday last, by Mr. James 11.
McCoy, of Hanover township, in a
corn field where he was cultivating
corn at the time. A white ground hog
is something never before seen in that
neighborhood. Mr. McCoy intends
making a pet of it.— Reaver Times

What tho Princess Thought of It.
The Princess Louisa, who was in
Chicago twice, during the Convention,
is quoted as saying to a reporter of the
Milwaukee Sentinel that she and hep
brother were very much entertained
and delighted by it. "We were glad
of an opportunity," she said, "to see
the primary gathering of gentlemen
who eel GO t your ruler. I can hardly
describe in a few words the feelings 1
experienced. .To think that right tfcpre
in Chicago business was going on as
usual, no undue excitement, aad that
in the large building a few men (for
they are but a few of your vast popu
lation) were having a debating society
that was making your ruler, lou
know it is so different from what we
have been accustomed to," exclaimed
the lady, speaking in an interested
and vivacious manner. "My sensa
tions," she added, "were confiiotjng,
and I have thought much and will
think long upon what I saw. This
republic is certainly a remarkable in
stitution. No man has any right to
the throne or the chair. It is open to
every one. And yet I told that all
the feeling subsides and every member
of the partv works to elect the nomi
nee."
THAT CREDIT MOBILIER.
GENERAL UAREIELO VINDICATED BY
JUDGE JEREMRAH S. BLACK.
l;i an elaborate review by the Phil
adelphia Press of the Isth inst., of the
alleged connection of Gen. Garfield
with the Credit Mobilier Company,
the following passage and letter are
fouud. The letter being from Hon.
Jeremiah S. Black, oue of the leading
Democrats of the country, we presume
will be conclusive with all fair minded
Democrats, as well as all others, that
the* charge against Gen. Garfield is
wholly without foundation :
TIIE REAL CHARACTER DEVELOPED.
From the witness in the rase it
seems that it was not until the winter
of lSl'.O 70 that Gen. Garfield received
an intimation of the real nature of the
"connection between the Credit Mobi
lier and the Pacific Railroad Company.
In the a private conversation
with the Hon. Jeremiah S. Black of
this State, finding that he was familiar
with the enterprise, Gen. Garfield told
him of the offer made him. Judge
Black then expressed the opinion that
the managers of the Credit Mobilier
were attempting to defraud the Pacific
Railroad Company, and informed him
that Mr. Ames was pretending to have
sold stock to members of Congress for
the purpose of influencing their action
in any legislation that might arise on
the subject. Gen. Garfield's action at
that time is best explained in the fol
lowing letter from Judge Black to the
Hon. James G. Blaine, then Speaker of
the House, which of itself should be a
thorough vindication, if any was
needed, of Gen. Garfield :
I.KTT;.-; OF .ITDGF. BLACK.
Pnir.ADEDPIHA, February 15. 1873.
linn. J. G. B/'itne, Sp aker of the House of Rep
resentatives.
MY DICAI: SIK: l\om thebeginniny of the in
vestit, at rut concerning Mr. Ames' use of the
Credit Mobilier, J believed t/n! Gen. Garfield
wis fr<e from alt guilty connection with that
Ijitsiu■ Thisopinion was Jv ndedncj merely on
my confidence in hi* integrity, bat on some spec
iit knmrledge of his ruse. 1 may have tolil you
all about it in conversation, but I desire now to
repeat it by way ol' reminder.
I assert unhesitatingly that, whatever Gen.
Gar!) *!'! may have done or forborne to do, he
acted in profound ignorance ;if {he future and
character of the thing which Mr. Ames was pro
posing to sell, lie had not the slightest suspic
ion that he was to be taken into a ring organ
ized for the purpose of defrauding the public,
nor did he know that the stock was in any man
ner connected with anything which came, or
could come, within the legislative jurtsdiciion
of Congress. The case against him lacks the
aloae constitutes guilt.
In the wintfcr of 1 taid Qcr.. Garfield
of the fact that his name was on Ames' list j
that Ames charged him with being one of his
distributees; explained to him the character,
origin and objects of the Credit Mobilier; point
ed out the connection it had with Congressional
legislation, and showed him how impossible it
was for a member of Congress to hold stock in
it without bringing his private interests in con
flict with his in;blic duty. That all this was to
him a perfectly new revelation I cm as sure as
I can lie of such a fact, or of any fact which is
capable of being proved only bv moral circum
stances. He told me then the whole story of
Train's oilVr to him and Ames' subsequent so
licitation and his own action in the premises,
much as he details it to the committee. I do nit
undertake to reproduce the conversation, but
the effect of it all WJJS to ine thorough
ly that when he listened to Ames he w&s per
fectly unconscious of any thing evil. I watched
carefully every word that fell from him on this
point, and did'not regard his narrative of the
transaction in other respects with much inter
est, because in my view everything else was
insig..itk; I did not care whether he had
made a ba.gain tee.iiniiuiiy I/ifding or not; his
integrity depended upon tnsQoestion whether
he acted with his eyes open. If he ha I known
the true character of the proposition made to
him lie would not have endured it, much less
embraced it.
Now, couple this with Mr. Ames'admission
thai hofcaye no explanation whatever of the
matter to Gen. Uariield, ii,fcn reflect that not a
particle of proof exists to show that he learned
anything about it previous to his conversation
with me, and I think you will say that it is al
together unjust to put him on the list of those
who knowingly and willfully joined the fraud
ulent association in question.

Grand Republican Ratification
Meeting at Milleritowu.
MHlerstown, .June 18, 18S0.
EDITORS CITIZEN : One of thp most
enthusiastic and interesting meetings
ever in this place, was held in the
Opera House this evening. The spa
cious Httll was crowded with an intel
ligent. and appreciative audience, which
gave the closest attention to what was
said and evidenced the interest they
took in the proceedings by that close
attention and good order, which are
so essential to the success of meetings
of this kind.
The meeting was called to order by
Dr. 8. li. Bell, who nominated Joseph
B. Showalter, Esq., for Chairman of the
meeting.
Mr. Sfaowalter on taking the chair,
stated the object of the meeting, and
mads a rcry appropriate speech, urg
ing Republicans to OFga&Ue, aiid go
to work earnestly, to secure the elec
tion of the whole ticket.
Newton Black, Esq., of Butler,
was then introduced and made a toiling
speech in favor of an honest ballot,
a fid equal rights before the law for all
clashes.
Gen. E. 1». Eckley, was then In
troduced and spoke for one hour, dur
ing which he was frequently applauded
in the most heartly manner. The
General's speech was full of good
points and illustrations, lfe gave an
exceedingly interesting history of Gen.
Garfield's boy-hood and early life
How born in obscurity and poverty,
ho had by his own efforts and perse
verance, climbed atop by *U-p jo t}x3
high position he now occupied before
the American people.
At the close of the General's speech,
a vote of thanks was tendered him,
and Mr. Black, for the eloquent man
ner in which they had entertained the
audience. After the speaking .was
over, a list of 105 names was obtained
for membership in a "Garfji.dd and

ERIE REPUBLICANS FAVOR GROW.
ERIE, PA, June 16.—At a special
meeting of the Republican County
Committee to-night, to discuss the
merits of Galusha A. Grow and M. S.
Quay for United States Senator, reso
lutions iri favor of instructing for
Grow were unanimously adopted.
The leading politicians of this district
were present, and denounced Quay in
unmeasured terms for his action on the
Pardon 13oard. Representative Silver
thorne said he would never help a man
to oftice against whom there was al
most sufficient evidence to send to the
State prison. He favored Grow, and
handled Quay without gloves. All the
candidates for the Legislature were
present and vied with each other in de
nouncing Quay and pledging them
selves not to vote for him.
ANOTHER BOOM FOR GROW.
MEADVILLE, PA., June 18. —The
Republican County Convention met in
this city to-day, and adopted unani
mously and with great enthusiasm a
resolution favoring the election of Hon.
Galusha A. Grow as United States
Senator, and instructing the members
of the Legislature from Crawford
county to use all honorable means to
secure that result. Mr. Grow made a
short bqt inspiring speech this even
ing at a grand ratification meeting,
which filled the court house to over
flowing. Republican prospects in the
Northwest are very bright.
The Pittsburgh Dispatch, comment
ing on the action of the Erie-county
Republicans, say : "Every member of
the Legislature who is instructed for
Mr. Hampton or Mr. Grow means to
vote against the Pardon-beard candi
date. and the prospects are that the
anti-inaculug wave which has just
started in its course over the State
will prove fully as destructive to the
schemes of the bosses as the anti-
Grant movement in New York and
Pennsylvania was to the purpose of
tjie Senatorial triumvirate at Chicago.
Hon Galusha A. Grow is bciug rec
ommended for United States Senator
by the Republican committees of dif
ferent counties throughout the State.
A wiser selection could not be made,
as Mr. Grow has no superior in the
State in point of ability, and but few
equals,— KManning Times.

GROW LEADING QUAY FOR TIIE SENA
TORSUIP.
PITTSBURGH, June 15.—The Repub
licans held their County Conventions
to-fji+y, jiqd in tyll, save two,good order
and harmony prevailed. Following is
the ticket in full: For Congress—
Twenty-second district, Russell Errett;
Twenty-third district, Thos. M. Bayne.
For the State Senate, John Uperman,
John C. Newmyer and M. A. Arnholt;
Assembly, Nich. H. Voegtlpy, Alfred
Slack, John H'arkhill, of Allegheny
City; Wm. Flynn, John Knowland,
Thomas M. Gillespie, Samuel R. Bald

11. M. McClajren, qll of Pittsburgh ;
Alex. Walker, J. W. Nesbit, of the
suburban district; for district attorney,
John S. Robb; assistant, John A. Mc-
Quaid. Both Congressional candidates
went through by acclamation. A letter
was rep t d from each The iqost signifi
cant w&s that from Major in
which hp reviewed briefly Qarfield's
tariff record and his connection with
tuo Cqb4en G'iub, and then said: -'ln
all the efforts of the Pennsylvania del
egation to sustain the preseut tariff
Mr. Garfield has most cordially co-op
erated, and Pennsylvania owes a large
4ebt of gratitude to him for his firm,
ncss on the question aijd for his great
ability with which he wielded in the
Coiitn]itteo of Ways and Meaus the ar
guments in favor of protection drawn
from the vast repository of facts gath
ered by him in his researches into the
intricacies of the tariff problem. ' I say
this much in justice to Gen. Garfield,
having been one of those who were at
first misled into diutsqstiqg l)in} from
the fact of his election as an honorary
member of the Cobden Club, and it is
proper, therefore, that J should thus
bear testimony to bis great, services in
behalf of protection and to his thorough
soundness on the tariff question. Rep
resenting as he did a large manufac
turing interest in his district, he felt it
his duty to give his earnest attention
to the tariff problem, and he stands to
il.;y ms? lvjjere wo all stand °n that
question." Errett had refused to vote
lor Garfield as speaker, but afterward
when he had thoroughly examined his
tariff record and watched his votes be
came Garfield's warm supporter. There
is no vynjpatby h.-re this year, how
ever, with bolters, and the regular
ticket \yi!l stand. Everybody, save a
few defeated ones, wants harmony.
Garfjeld's nomination has healed up all
old sores, QIKI dissenters now are at g
very heavy discount. The ticket is re
garded as a very good one. It suits a
great many of the rank and file because
some ring slates were completely
smashed, especially in the legislative
nominations. It was generally a bad
day for what is called the ring, but
they it good hqnjocedly. In one
convention the legislative nominees
were unanimou.ly instructed to vote
for Grow for United Stales Senator.

A MAGNIFICENT DEMONSTRATION AT
WASHINGTON IN HONOR OF THE
i:K ;, I BLK'AN CANDIDATE FOR
THE PRESIDENCY,
CF 1880.
WASHINGTON, June lii. —This
ing a serenade was tendered Gen.
James A. Garfield by the National Vet
eran Association. The portico of the
Rigirs House was tastefully decorated
with flags and bunting, and the sur
rounding streets were brilliantly illu
minated with calcium lights, while at
frequent intervals rockets and other
fireworks were set off from the steps
of the Treasury Department. As the
procession filed past cheers were given
for Garfield, and as that gentleman ap
peared on the platform, accompanied
by Attorney General Devens, they
were renewed.
Gen. Devens, in introducing Gen.

lican Presidents, Lincoln, Grant and
Hayes, and each name was greeted
with loud cheers. If, he concluded,
you sought to find an example in one
person of the mode in whi h, by our
free civilization, hope is given to the
humblest as well as to the highest
born to aspire by lofty aim, by high
ambition, by noble prophesies, to the
greatest ofiice in your gift, where
would you seek it but iu James A.
Garfield ? [Cheers.] I introduce to
you. therefore, a scholar who ha 3
found the path of learning no primrose
path, but has won his way along by
stead}' industry; a soldier, whose
shield is unsoiled, and whose sword is
spotless ; a statesman, oil wl om rests
no stain or dishonor; a Christian gen
tleman, respecting the rights of every
man because he himself i» kind, consid
erate and self-respecting always. I
introduce Gen. James A. Garfield.
[Loud cheering.]
GEN. GARFIELD'S SPEECH.
Fellow Citizens: "While I havo
looked upon this great array, 1 believe
I have gotten a new idea of the maj
esty of the American people. When I
reflect th it whenever you find sover
eign power, every reverent heart on
on earth bows before it, and when I
remember that here fof a humjrsd years
y/e have denied the sovereignty of any
man, aud in place of it we have assert
ed the sovereignty of all in place of
one, 1 see before me so vast a con
course that it is easy for me to imagine
that the red of the American people
are gathered here ((height, and ir they
wera ail here every man would stand
uncovered and in unsandaled feet in
the presence of the majesty of the only
sovereign power in this government
under Almighty God. [Cheers.] And
therefore to this great audience I pay
respectful homage that iu part belongs
to the sovereignty of the people. I
thank you for this great and glorious
demonstration. Jam not for one mo
ment misled into believing that it re
fers to so poor a thing as any one of
our number. I kuow it means your
reverence to your government, your
reverence for its laws, your reverence
for its institutions, and your eoijipli;
ment to one who is placed for a mo
ment in relations to you of peculiar
importance. For all these reasons I
thank you. I cannot at this time utter
a word on the subject of general poli
tics.
| would nqt mar thp cordiality of
this welcome, to which, to some ex
tent, all are gathered, by any reference
except to the present moment and its
significance. But I wish to say that
a portion of tl?is assemblage to-night
are my comrades in the late war for
the Union. For them I can speak
with entire propriety, and can say that
these very streets heard the measured
tread of your disciplined feet years ago
when the imperiled Rppobiic needed
your hmds and your hearts to save it,
aud you came back with your num
bers decimated, but those you left be
hind Were immortal and glorified
heroes foreyer, and ti.ose you brought
back came carrying under tattered
banners aud bronzed hands the ark of
the covenant of your Republic in
safety and oqt qf bjoody baptism of
war (cheers,) and you brought it in
safety to be saved forever by your
valor and the wisdom of your brethren
who where at hoiqe, and by this yoq
were again added to the great civil
army of the Republic.
I greet you, comrades and fellow
solders, and the yreat body of distin
guished citizens who are gathered hero
to-night, \if]\o arp the strong stay and
support of the business, of the pros
perity, of the peace, of the civic ardor
and glory of the Republic, and I thank
you for your welcome to-night- H
was said in welcome to one who came
to England to be part of her glory, and
all the nation spoke when it was said
Normans and Saxons aud Danes are we,
But all of us Danes in our welcome of thee.
And we say to-night of all the na
tion, of all thp people, sqIcJKT? PPtf
civilians, there is onp name that welds
us all into one. It is the name of
American citizens under the Union
and under the glory of the flag that
led us to victory aud to peace. [Ap
plausa.] For this magnificent wel
come, X thank yoq \yith all there is in
my heart.

Hair Vigor,
FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.
IT is a most agreeable dressing, which
is at once harmless and effectual, for pre-'
serving the hair. It restores, with tlie
gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray,
light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep
black, as may be desired. By its use thin
hair is thickened, and baldness often
though not always cured. It checks falling
of the hair immediately, and causes a new
growth in all cases where the glands are
not decayed; while to brashy, weak, 01
otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality
and strength, and renders it pliable.
The VIGOR cleanses the scalp, cures and
prevents the formation of dandruff; and,
by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing
properties, it heals most if not all of th(
humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp,
keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under
which conditions diseases of the scalp and
hair are impossible.
As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair
The YIGOK is incomparable. It is color
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will
not soil white cambric. It imparts an
agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an
article for the toilet it is economical and
unsurpassed in its excellence.
