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 the 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 Vigor is incomparable. It is color less, contains neither oil .nor dye, and- will not $'oil white cambric. ~ It imparts an agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an article for the toilet it is economi cal and unsurpassed in its excellence. roEI-ARED BY Dr. J.

TYo iegret to announce the death of Mr. llioruas W, Chambers, mechanic, from Baldoc, on the P. Ik R. It., which took place at the residence of Opt. Joseph Stallings, on Saturday night last. Mr. Chambers came to Capt. Stallings on or about the 19th of Au gust last, and commenced the job of pulling a tutblue wheel to tho Captain’s mill, and, during tho pio- gress of the work, had several attacks of chill and fever; but as soon as he would recover from ao attack would resume Lis work; and on the 24th September completed the j >b; after which concluded to remain a few days to see how the wheel would operate, tfnd to give some instructions coccorn- ing it; but pa the 27th, the day before he intended leaving for bis home, was attacked by hemorrhage of the klndey which, after a week of painful illness, teimiuated in bis death. Mr. Cham- b-Ms has no family, nor relatives, os wo know of^ln this countiy, but has a host of friends who will no doubt mourn his loss—winning tbe esteem of every one with whom he mot, was a graduate of Hamilton College, N. Y., was eomlN’bere between 55 and 60 years of age. Mr. Chambers fell into good hands to die; for If there Is a man in the wot Id who would become a friend, even, to the friendless, or a father to the fatherless,Capt. Stallings is one. Els remains was interred in the family burial-ground of Capt. Jeseph Stallings. * G. The - Abbeville Press and Oali ner ” und Gen’l Johnson lift* good.

CJ., September 29.— United States District Attorney thrup, of South Carolina, is f says that the «tate Courts ar under tbe control of the Democrats, and that where any political instruc tions are involved a Republican has no chance whatever. Some of the masL.th<M)ghifi)l .Damocrata, however^! ate beginning sentlmout will no longer to admit that Northern 1 no longer tolerate the. outrages which have made South Ca rolina solidly Democratic, and that swift retribution would follow any at tempts to commit tho outrages for which tbe lust Congressional canvass M familiar.

Mr. Kof- tbrup thinks that the Republicans will be able to secure several Congress men from South Carolina. Northrup knows Nix, the colored postmaster, who was shot at Blaekville, as a reso lute, plucky and dstermlnsd Republi can, while Luther Williams, the man who fired the shot, has been Implica ted in all ..the Democratic outrages la Barnwell county for years. Northrup says that there is no other side of tho story than that which has been pub lished in Northern Republican papers^ The State authorities are doing noth ing In the matter. The Federal au thorities will endeavor to bring Wil liams to trial. Northrup is a native South Carolinian, who 1 ai himself been regarded as a Conservative. Ho announces himself a Stalwart. The "Judge” is evidently prepare*! to his wallow, if indeed he be correct ly reported. But for Hampton, But ler and the Democratic msjoilty- of tho .Senate, he would now be earning bread as a small attorney at law of —few the Radical-Republican machine. But, if our n collection it not at fault, when That paper asks'uk to be specific as the Stalwarts t4 the Senate and th** county which bad a representative on $2. _ CHARLESTON, ?2 llittin" a Rail ou the Head, The Soringfleld (Mass.) Republican is a model paper in more ways than oue, While far from being Democrat ic, and, if anything, orthodoxically Radical, In the least offensive sense of that much abused word.lt is, above all else, a lover of truth, a strlver af ter justice, and the quintessence of true Independence. We call from its editorial columns the following para graph, which completely demolishes, in short order aud most effectually, the monstrous slanders of a gigantic sham. It says: “ The New York Tri te the “tax business of last year.” We shall auskver his question by putting a few interrogatories to him, wlilch- he can no doubt answer quite satlslactoit- ly to hltnsdf, at least. Was not tho old law, creating the State Board of Equalizition, und con ferring upon that body unprecedented powers, a Radical machine for the op- t irotsion of our people ? Did oot the /omptroller-General attempt to use that machine to the Injury of Abbe ville county ? Did the State Board of Equalization, of which the Comptroller was tbe virtual, If not actual, Chair man, and ruling spirit, raise the valua tion of any of ttie farming lands of any tv that Board ? voYNin tflfc etfkte . ation for an iucrease of the valuation on the taxable property of Lexington county, so that the taxes of the citi zens of that county were more onerous than they were undet Radical rule ? Was It not the wrong perpetrated against the tax payers of the counties which had no representatives In the Board of Equalization, lhal| forced the Democratic Legislature To annul their work, und to make tvnew law,creating a different Board of Equalization com posed of representatives from each county of the State;And revoking the authority heretofore vestecMu a few of the Executive officers in Columbia? .. As a member of the Board of Equal ization did the Comptroller-General nut pursue Abbeville with an unbecom ing venemeuce? After It became morally certain that tbe Legislature would put their con- "dewnutory seal upon tbe action of the Board imhelr attempt to raise the tax es of the counties not represented iu the Radical machine, did not tbe Com ptroller-General say to the Legislature committee that he was willing to correct the workings of the Board In every county except Abbeville? Did ho not insist upon raising our tuxes thirty per cent. ? Did not tbe Legislature by their act, condemn this act of the Board as iniquitous and unjust? If the attempt of the Comptroller to extort from us seven thousand dollars a year more than our share of the pub lic taxes, was not a ‘‘stretching of the prerogative of office,” was It not tbi exercise of official power to wrong us to gratify personal Bpleiti ? And wa* it not au error so patent that the Leg islature felt called upon to correct it, despite the protests of that officer ? If tho Comptroller-General in tbe ordinary exercise of the duties of his piess sought Ills utter overthrow and extinction officially, tbs Sooth Caro lina Senators used Their influence to have him appointed and oonQrmed a* District Attorney. True, they might have gone farther aud fared worse, but this does not lessen the persona^ obligation of Lucius B. Northrup *o South Carolina conservatism, of which he claimed t> form a part. Now he comes out as a “ Stalwart,” a native born “Stalwart*' u Zseh Chandler henchman. He is a worthy example of the folly of Democracy favoring men who deserted them early in the day, after tbe war. When the Stal warts—the slraon pure Northern Stal warts—had Northrop on the Lip the Democratic Senators should have left Hiw ibiijf And rotudjfc -ca and Constitutionalist. A Confederate MLite. [From the Colombia RegUO -.] We opened a note addressed rut editorially which, though marked “private,’’Is too touching and tender a tribute to a noble old private of tbe Confederate ranks to be withheld. We are oot ashamed to say it headed oar eyes with tearh of sympathy. God bless tbs poor old bare-footed soldier.

If all were anim ated by the same splendid sentiment of this One-armed, bare-footed veteran, and should gtv# only twenty-five cents each.

The statement is not true, ns the statisti cian attributes most of the' customs revenue to Republican States, where as two-thirds of it is collected la tbe Democratic State of New York. In the second place, where revenue is collected is of small consequence, since it is really paid by the consumers of articles taxed and not by those who baud it to the collector. Finally, po* litlcal representation is not propor tioned by Federal taxation at all.
