THE MEXICAN PRESIDENCY.
I.EttDO DE TEJADA RE-ELECTED BY A VOTE
OF 131 AGAINST 45.
. City of Mexico, October 29. —Congress
having passed the laws regarding the
press and extraordinary powers of the
President, the House of Deputies consti
tuted itself an Electoral College, and de
clared the re-election of Lerdo de Tejada
by a vote of 194 against 45. On the 2Gth
Justice Iglesias addres-ted a communica
tion to the Court, declaring his convic
tion that there was no legal election, and
requesting the Court to protest against
the action of the Electoral College. He
further proposed that the Court dissolve
as a constitutional body.
His first proposition was voted down—
6to 5. His second was voted down —7
to 4.
On the 28th two new judges of the Su
preme Court were installed, who are in
accord with the majority.
Iglesias has obtained leave of absence
for one month. He is broken down for
ever now as a public man, and the De
cembristas are crushed out.
Lerdo de Tejada has weathered a tre
mendons storin, and has shown himself
to be a man of great ability. He has the
support of all the Governors excepting at
Oaxaca.
Pronunciados are throwing down
their arms In various directions. Their
resources are all exhausted and a final
collapse is expected. Oaxaca still gives
trouble, but Seneral Diaz and his follow
ers are compelled to keep in the moun
tains, and are afraid to meet the Govern
ment troops. __

Sold by Purcell, Ladd ft Co.,Richmond, Vs., and

This incomparable preparation for the Hair is
commended to the public on its own merits.
It prevents the Hair from falling off, producing
a rapid and healthy growth scurf and
dandruff, and cures diseases of the scalp. Try it
and judge for yourself.
[From Rev. E. T. Baird, Scc’y of Publication of
Presbyterian Church South.)
Richmond, July 27,1874.
The Xanthine Is the only hair dressing I have
ever used which has removed the dandruff from
the scalp and made my hair soft and pliable. It
has also restored my hair to its natural color; and
by occasionally using it as a hair dressing, I have
no doubt it will preserve the eolor.

[From Rev. Mr. Cameron, Minister of Presbyte
rian Church South.)

Xahthiwx Cos., Richmond, Va.:
I have ÜBed the Xanthine now for three years,
and have induced others to buy it, and have nev
er known it to fail in accomplishing all you
claim for It. It Is an excellent tonic, a pleasant
dressing, removing and preventing dandruff and
all unpleasant itching, promoting and preserving
the natural growth and color of the hair, and ren
dering it glossy and pliable. I confidently,
cheerfully, knowingly recommend it.

The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the wel
known agriculturist, Solon Robinson:
All the farmers were of the “well to do” sort, aud Borne of them, who have turned their attention
to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey,
and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, in
which deposits of peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, alter it
has been exhausted of its natural fertility.
It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable
condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some
of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a
hundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a
marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in
the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing rnauy distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia
ry formation; and this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, iu a very comminuted
form, and In the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as the farmer desires to
cultivate.
