The Disputed Senatorships.
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.

be immediately re-elected. Tihe

About tIhe year 11801 Elias P.
Bean, a lad of 17, started w: a
party of raftsmen bound fma the

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. Here yolngg Benil

TnIs standard article is comn
poundled with the greatest care.
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.
As a dressing, nothing has been
found so effectual or desirable.
A. A. Hayes, M. D., State As
sayer of Massachusetts, says, " The
constituents are pure, and carefully
clected for excellent quality ; and
I consider it the BEsT PR1EPAR ATION~
for its intended purposes."

manent color, which will neither
ynub nor wash off.
