The professor was frequently interrupted in

did not attempt any thing like ail address. His
chief purpose seemed to be the practical exem

the tides, the appearance under the telescope of
the sun and moon, the position, and peculiari
ties of the starry constellations, the density and
character of comets, and divers other matters
-connected with the solar system.
Many of the instruments and contrivances used
to demonstrate the theories of astronom cal
science, were elaborately constructed, and Uispitty

It was the most familiar and satisfactory ex

Personally we entertain r(6 dread

or “open war.” Past experience has
taught +ts the lesson that there is a
“Providence iii the affairs of men,” and
with that assurance, we can listen to a
great deal of bombast 'Serenely, efttne
from whom it may. To’the war expec
tation now so prevalent in the East,
there can only be disappointment, and
Gen. Shafer is as likely to be ah proper
a Governor, as far as that is concerned,
as any other man. There cun be no
war with Utah oft titiy pretest whatever.
Some of us may bo silly enough to say
ugly and provoking thing's, and dreamy
enough to anticipate all sorts of magoifi.
cent res flits hut there is a heap of "bard
senfte out here in the Rocky mountains,
among both men and women, uhd the
talk of War anywhere is today regar
ded us sheer balderdash We have no
personal ttcqfn.iiituftee with General
Shafer, aftd, therefore, can disinterested
ly tender him the advice to pay no at
motion to the folks down East on the
war questibh, but to come out here
'when tie is ready, mind his own business
aud he will get along well enough, His
“wisdom and discretion,” “ignorance or
Obstinacy,” should lie have either of
these commodities even in superabun

to affairs out here ; still we should like
him with the former rather than with
the latter. Still, bo it either way, pro

won’t have it; it don’t pay. * Should
our citizens be attacked—be they poor

Maidens Desiring Husbands. —A sar
is correspondent, speaking of the patron
saint <>f maidens desiring husbands, and
tlm high regard which is paid to him in
France, relates the following illustration
of his powers :
Some time since, a maiden in a village
not lar from Palis, finding years steal
ing away and no suitor for her hand ap
pearing, bought a plaster statuette of
St. Nicholas-, placed it at the head of her
bed, and night and morning addressed
supplications to it lor A suitable help
meet. Months went by without bring
ing a lover. The Ollier day her stock of
patience became exhausted. She lost
all confidence in the sa nt. Tubing the
statuette by the nape-, eho threw it into
the street, ejaculating, “Go to the
and !’ As she threw out the statuette
a voiHig man happened to be passing
under the window. Ho was bare head
ed. * The statuette fell on his poll, and
not only stunned him, but, as it bioke to
atoms, cut his scalp severely. Blood
poured profusely forth. He straight
way went to an attorney and brought
suit against the person who had woun
ded him. He did not seethe defendant
of the suit until she appeared in court.
Her person and mein made a deep im
pression on him, and he asked permis
sion to withdraw the suit. She, delight
ed by this termination of legal proceed
ings, which had looked threatening to
her, was very gracious to him, and they
walked home from the court house in
company. Ht* asked leave to visit her.
lie soon asked her hand, and they were
married without delay.

'iTtiE States to be Dependencies.—lii
the Course of a speech in the Senate,
some days ago, Mr, Morton, of Indiana,
perhaps ih’e most influential man of his
party in that branch of Congress, laid
down the following as the Radical pro.
gramme for the future,
“t think, Mr. President, that the ex
perience of the past eighteen months
has brought the Congress of the United
States now to the point that we should
declare that we accept the legal con
sequences of the doctrine of reconstruc
tion I know the common idea was,
without consideration, a year and a halt
ago, th'ftt when these States were once
admitted, <ir if you please, restored to
representation, they passed entirely froth
under the jurisdiction of Congress, and
we were dOsne with them. that was
illogical, and experience has now known
we cannot stand Upon that doctrine.”—
We must follow the doctrine of reconstruc
tion to its consequences and if necessary, we
must deal with these States after they have
been re-admitted.”
Theie are tsvo things naturally sug
gested by the announcement of this doc
trine :
First—The Radical party may hot
always %dve it in their power lo sa‘y what
relations the States shall sustain to the
Federal Government.
Second—There are two parties td this
political bargain; the States may not
always doHsent to be the subjects and
slaves Os Congress and if they should
combine to resist it's enrdachmdnts-, what
is Congress going to do ? Such men as
Morton may.find their heads iu a char

The Fifteenth Amendment-
A conclave of carpet-baggers and ne
groes in Georgia, cal ed a Legislature,
and occupy seats in the State capilol
by virtue of certificates granted by a
military commission appointed by Ge n
eral Terry, bn Wendoesday pretended,
says the Chicago Times of the sth, to
ratify, on behalf of Georgia, the fif
teenth Amendment tb the Constitution.
The press of-the ruling party now
claim's that 'the requisite number of
States hive ratified the amendment to
make it a part of the organic law. Mr.
Bingham and the Republican members
of Congress who voted with him on the
Georgia bill are authorities for 6aying
that the pretended ratification of Geor
gia is without a particle of validity.—
The argument of Sebator Trumbull on
the question of the imposition of future
terms upon Virginia is very good evi
dence that a compact wrung from a
State by force and*in violatibo ctf pen
ding conditions by her faithfully per
formed,-is not binding.
v It is true that Senator Trumbull vo
ted to remand Georgia to servitude
after she has been ‘reconstructed’ and
admitted to representation in Congress,
but this fact dues not impair his logic
on the Virginia Question. Hoifie of tho
ablest Republican Senators stood with
him on that question, and their argu
ments all sustain the point above teen
tionefl.
The right of a bitizen to vote, cofttin
ues the Tunes, is one over which our
courts have jurisdiction. The validity
of laws regu'ating voting, and their en
forcement, and the conduct of judges of
election, are matters which frequently
borne before our courts. Only a few
days ago, the Supreme Court of the
United States had before it ft case in
volving the validity of a law in Missou
ri defining the qualifications of electors,
and it is probable that the question of
the Fifteenth Amendment will be
brofcght before that court at no distant
day.
Without Gehrgib. and without New
York, there will, undoubtedly, be found
three fourths of the States to ratify the
amendment, if the infamies called State
goVornffterfts which haye been fastebed
on the pebple by military despotism be
counted 'The same objections thuy be
urged against the so-called ratificaiions
by all the Tecotistrficted States f/hieh
lie against Georgia. The Legislatures
of the Southern States are the creations
of Unauthorized and despotic pdwer,
and do not represent the will G 4 the peo
ple. They have no attlhority t 6 speak
for the people, except such as has been
acquired by force and fraud.
Under such a state of facts, it must
be evident that the Fifteenth Amendment
will not be regarded as a part of the
Constitution by a large portion—per-*
haps a majority —of our citizens. The
Secretary ot State may proclaim its
adoption, and the Federal Government
may re< ognize aud enforce it as a law;
but. it may be overthrown by the judi*
eifcry, or by a political revolution which
will place men in power who interpret
the constitution differently from those
who now liaVe possession <rf the gov
ernment.
The probabilities are that the country
will unwillingly accept tiie amendment,
and thus put a quietus on the negro
question. Wore the political disabilities
ot the whites in the S uth removed, and
the ballot restored to them, they coi’ild
easily frame laws within the amendment
which would take the ballot from the
great body of the blacks. Were what
is known as intelligence and property
qualifications required from vbterft, not
one negro in a hundred could vote.—
The amendment simply requires that
the suffrage shall be impartial.
When the Southern States shall all
Ire admitted to representation in Con
gress, we may expect such Sweeping
changes as have occurred in Tennessee.
Her constitutional convention can to
day assume that the Fifteenth Amend
ment is valid, and yet exclude negroes
from holding office, and take the ballot
from such of them as ought not to vote
because of ignorance and vicious habits.
What is worst about the amendment
are the infamous agencies by which bo
gus ratifications Lave been obtained.
Americans Shot In Havana
toi* Weariug Blue Neck Ties
—Prompt Actioil of the Ail-
tlioritie?.
Havana , February 7.—Yesterday morn
ing, about 11 o’clock, four Americans,
Isaac Grech wall, Henry K. Foster,
Hugh Johnson and Gardner Wells, all
from New York, were on their way to
visit a photograph gallery. They inten
ded to have their pictures taken, and all
wore blue neck ties, and wheu near the
Tacon theatre they were stopped by a
man who pointed to their neck ties, and
addressed the men in an excited manner
in Spanish. None of the party under
standing the language, uo answer was
returned.
The unknown mail took but his revol

was killed and Foster and Jotmson were
severely wounded, and are iu a precari
ous condition. Wells, who was unhurt,
ran for his We. A number of people fob
lovVed, and raised a cry of “Slop him,”
but be eseaped. The wounded! men
were badly treated by the crowd which
gathered around them. The man who
tired the shot disappeared immediately
after, and it is not known Whether he
was ii volunteer or not.
The declarations of parties and wit
nesses to the affair are now being taken
by the legal authorities, in the presence
of the United States Consul. The indig
nation of the Captain General at the
outrage is very great. He has called on
the Chief Justice and Other leading offi
cers of the law to use every means to
discover the perpetrator and abettors.—
The people and all parties denounce the
act, and the officers and volunteers are
uniting and hunting for the assassin and
his accomplices, and the Governor has
placed the entire police force in motion.
De Rodas has offered a reward of SI,
000 for the arrest of the culpable parties,
who, ii found, will be tried by a drum
head dOurt-martial and executed within
twb hours alter sentence is passed.—

arrived here from New York several
weeks ago; to open a cosmetic and pef
i'nmery factory for Lautnan & Kemp.

Finding Him Out.—The Augusta
Chronicle’s Wb ashing ton special of the
10 says :
In the Senate Jndibiary Committee
on yesterday, when the Georgia matter
was .up for discussion, Senator Ed
munds, of Vermont, said that Bul
lock had missled C egress “in relation to
the cbedition of affairs in Georgia
when the recent 'Georgia bill Syas pass
ed and had already been detected in
two lies upon that subject.”
Senator Conkling, of NeW York, sup
ported Edmund’s views, and also im
plied by his remarks that Bullock had
been lying.
Senator Carpenter, of Wisconsin,
backed up Edmunds and Conkling, ‘and
characterized Bullock’s conduct in
very severe terrps..
Besides this Bullock stands convict.-
ed, on the authority of the President,
of having misrepresented the latter,
through the Associated Press dispatch,
es and the Washington press, with ref
erence to a conversation on the status
of Senator Hill and Miller and the act
of the Legislature of Georgia.

ton, the popular and celebrated manufacturer
of Kay ton's Oil of Life, the best and surest lin
iment for rheumatism known, has now discon,
tinued his travels throughout the States to see
the lame ahd the ciSpple, dud those otherwise
aflicted by rheumatism, or neuralgia, or pains
in the side, &c., for fee argftes, and well too,
that the people can cure thepiselves without
him by using his Oil of Life; the virtues of
which are unviersally acknowledged. Some
people were foolish enough to think from the
swift and speedy cures made on the spot, be
fore their eyes or their friend*,, that the Pro
fessor’s hands were bewitched, but we assure
all that the sterling virtue lies only in the Oil
of Life and good rubbing. For rheumatism,
neuraigia, pains in the b&ek, joints or sides, or
wherever a liniment can be used that Kay ton’s
Oil of Life is acknowledged as great and with
out an equal, giving the patieut almost instan
taneous relief by one rubbing. For sprains or

Hair Vigo^
For restoring Gray Hair to
its natural Vitality and Color.
tis at once agreeable,
healthy, and effectual
for preserving the
hair. Faded or gray
hair is soon restored
*to its original color,
ivith the gloss and
freshness of youth.
Thin hair is thick
ened, falling hair checked, and bald
ness often, though not always, curbed
by its tise. Nothing can restore the
hair where the follicles are destroyed,
pr the glands atrophied and decayed.
But "such hs femam caa be saved for
Usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair frith a -pasty sedi
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, ahd
consequently prevent baldness. Tree
from those deleterious substances which
mak6 some preparations dangerous, and
injurious to tub hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not harm it. If ’wanted
merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre and a grateful perfume.

W. Schley A Co.—Gentlemen : Yonr letter of the Bth instant is at baud, and I hasten to reply.—
I am much pleased with vour Fertilizer, and lake great pleasure in adding my testimony to its valuublh
qualities, iam nofcr satisfied that where I used two hundr ed and fifty pounds per acre on cotton, th*
yield has been increased at least pity per cent. In this year’s experiments it excelled Dixon’s Formula,
and to show you my estimation of its value as a Fertilizer, you Can send me one hundr.d tons within
the next mouth. Truly yours, B. G. LOCS.ETT.

which I applied to fifty acres of land iq Cotton, at the rate of two hundred and. tif\y pounds per acre.—
Tbe land was broken from eight to ten inched and the Fertilizer applied at tbe botiom of the bed. Ibe
yield was very satisfactory. 1 shall gather over thirty bales of cotton from the field. Without manure,
with common preparation, it would mrt have yielded over six pr eight bpudred pounds per acre. With
good seasons it wohjd have made ope bale of five hundred pounds per acre. Your Fertilizer excelled any
other that I used in producing a weed ojje-iniid. to one-fourth larget; pnd but for ifhe fact that the aeqi
used was poor and mixed, the yieldpf fruit wdiild have "bee-i than 'any other cptton grown by
me. lam satisfied ybat your Fertilizer is valuable, and„w'ill stand a. drought better than any other far
til zer used in my section., 1 am sure that on my land, with proper preparation, gpod culture and tb-ee

AMMONIATED
DISSOLVED RONES.
The SUPPJLV OF PERUVIAN GUANO bav
ing become exhausted, it is necessary for the
planting community to look for a substitue for this
article, so efiicatiobs in promoting and sustaining
the growth o( cotton, the combination of Peruvi
an Guaco and Diss >lved Bones has been found to
be the safest and best of all the many articles of
fered, apd we are confident that in an ordinary sea
son, to ijs* tbe language of Mr. David Dickerson,
can never fail. In presenting our AMMONIATED
to the planter, we but give the combination in a
form ready for immediate use, thus saving the oust
and trouble of manipulation and securing uniform
ity in quality.
. The,practical results obtained from tbe articles
shipped by us, prove them to be superior to all oth
ers, and in a trade extending through every portion
of the cotton growing regions, and, during tbe past
five years, coueumicg thousand t of tons, we are
yet to hear of the first complaint.
In our manufacture we discard all mineral phos
phates, and rely entirely upon
FTTHS BOTffU,
Made readily soluble by the use of Snlphbric Acid.
The Ammonia is supplied from the next .valuable
source to Peruvian Guano, and ip sufficient quanti
ties to give the plant a vigorous and Be Jthy growth
the soluble bone sustaining it throughout iFe season.
We have no hesitation iu plac ng this article
against any manufacture or combination inowp,-
and will refund every dollar spent in ita purchase
in case it does not give satisfaction.
