I seeing the paper in print, he was greatK pained,
moi-iiticd and chagrined at perceiving the

The Washington correspondent oftho Curohiian,
furnishe* the tollowing interesting lettil*
from the peat of Government :
Washington, April 3rt.
The celebrated contest on ll?e admission of

ill* liiiMt-il the ilousa of Itenre* ntritive* l>v
line majority. All the Southern Democrats
' ted for I lie bill to except Quitmun and BoniHtn.
There is no doubt hut that tho bill a*
asst-il is the best possible sohn ion of thu qin-sitm.
Tin* South has gained nothing practical
?y the p issage of tho bill, ex?-ept thu mornl
riuiuph of admitting a Statu with a slave contitution
North of 3ti ?l3D. Kaiisii* in, arid
ins been for six month*, since a freebtute. The
^eeomptoii Constitution lias no self-sustaining
ower, and will doubtless bo altered by the
leojile of Khii.?hs with hot hiiite. Tho bill will
hiss tho ^eiiat.* and become thu law of the land
it a few days.

gainst Kansas : Messrs. Blair, lionham, Davis

The news was rectiv??d in tho city with demonstrations
One hundred guns were
ired.
In the Senato numerous members have pair-.

There will be a democratic caucus to n ight

The following from the pen of ex Senator
Innnigan, of Indiana, will be appreciated hy
ill :
\\"t cannot refrain from calling the attention
f our reader* lo the "Hair Restorative" of
I'rof. O. J. Wood. It will be seen that he hat
ititin-roiis certitientes from person* of the highest
character, to l>u the merits of his Restorative.
From positive knowledge we are also
enabled to s:iv that it is in every reuse what it
professes to he, and we do not hcnitnte to proiiotmev
it the tine.-t preparation for the hen J
>tn<l hair which lift*, s-> far, been devised by
liiiiiiah ingenuity. We have seen it arrest
tlirenten. il haldno**, mid restore to the head
its original profusion of nnttirul and glosay
hnir, and when the latter has been promatnrsly
tinged with gray, wo have *ecn it, like magic,
restore the colors of youth and health. The
distinguishing property of thi?. we might truly
*ny, miraculous "Restorative" i*, that it gives
tu uiu |iri!>uu ?uu inpj ii. me same nrntl ul
hair they wore in yuiiih, tluis noting in striet
unnspHnnci! witli the fiir<t uti-l grcntiHt of all

it will hesitate to unite with u? in hi* tr?tini??> y
