The Radical majority in the United States Senato hss not sig nitiod yet what will b its course in .ofCrCncC to th1e admiSsion of Sena 'tors Enstis a'nd Spofford, of Lonisi ana, and Butler, of South Carolina, id the whole question is a matter of considorable speculation. It is presum-od that the anti-Administra tion Senators will endeavor either to bring the matter in the commit tee room, or will force a protracted and bitter debato in which an attempt will be made to open the old soreR, and revive the old spirit of sectional hate. The Democrats are not anxious to havo any pro longed discussion at present. They feel that tho leaven of the Ohio election is working so well in New York, Pennsylvania, and eycn Mas, sachiusetts, that the introduction of any now sensation before the November elections may do harm to their party. If, however, they can secure the votes of any IBepub lica they will press for the im mediate admission of the Demo cratic contestants from the two disputed States. If the Adminis tration Rlepublican Senators have any backbone, they will certainly favor an immediate solution of the problem ; for with their votes, added to thoso of the Democrats, the Presidenit's Southern policy will thus winl ai docisivo victory over the BJlaine-Oonkling combination. Such a course on the part of the Administrat ion is necessary for its p)rolongation of power ; for other matters, such as confirmation of iis appointments, wvill soon1 come up;) and, without the aid of the Demo crats the nominations will be re. joOtedl ; while tho Democrats will not interfere in a Republican quar rel, unless they havoe previously receivedl aid from iithe Adminis trai tion Senators in the contested elec tion cases. No shadowv of law exists for the seating of Kellogg and Corbin. Bloth were elected by mohs ; the pretended quorum, even, which the the latter claimed in the Mackey House, having been composed of illegally seated contestants fronm Aiken and Blarniwoll. No more canl be done tihan to refuse bo0th conl. testants, in wvhich case Butler would be immediately re-elected. Tihe Louisana as s smile)r.

Bean, a lad of 17, started w: a party of raftsmen bound fma the holston to the Mississippi. Thcy floated down from Beanl's Station, trading by the way, lost their raft ipel the Museo Shoals, and, having purchased a drove of horses, coitiuited their jonelmiy overland toward Natehez.

Its effects are as wonderful and as satisfactory as ever. It restores gray or faded hair to its youthful color. It removes all eruptions, itching and dandruff. It gives the head a cooling, soothing sensation of great comfort, and the scalp by its use becomes white and clean. By its tonic prop)erties it restores the capillary glands to their normal vigor, preventing baldness, and making the hair grow thick and strong.
