A letter from a “Traveler” to the
Courier-Journal, from Okolouit, Miss.,
the pica. l ant but unpretentious town
whose little newspaper, an account of its
idojtic ravings has created such a stir by
the Republican press of the north says;
i have taken it upon myself to inter
view a number of the leading citizens of
Okolona on this subject, and they assert
w ithout exception and without hesitation
that the States newspapers does not re
boot the sentiments of the people of'this
town or this section; in fact, it lias no
following and no influence here, and rep
icrents r.olcdy # but its two editors, Har
]er and Kernan is a carpet-bagger from
.somewhere in Ohio, and when that is said
tlie theme is exhausted as he and the
people—the white people—of this baili
wick don't “amalgamate” extensively so
to speak. Harper lias always been regard
ed as an excentric, harmless, windy old
blatherskite, whose highest aim and ob
ject, like his great prototype. Brick Pom
eroy, is notoriety, at whatever cost. Po
litically lie has long been in antagonism
to the Democratic party, in consequence
of his repeated failures to receive office or
any sort of recognition at their hands,
and he has been heard to say that lie
would yet “break the party up,” Which
accounts for the milk in his sickly cocoa
nut. His affiliations and associations are
all with the “opposition” in this State
under w hatever name known its present
cognomen being the “Greenback party,”
w ith which lie is openly and closely iden
tified, the “Greenback” party in tlie
South being looked upon as identical
the Republican party in the North. His
paper which is one of the regular Ya
hoo-swamp patent-outsiders, has, 1 am
further assured, never received the sup
port, indorsement or official patronage of
the Democratic party the Chickasaw
Messenger being the oflicial paper of the
county and the only recognized reflex
here of the Democratic sentiments Each
issue of this delectable sheet (the States)
is now tilled with extracts culled from
the Republican papers of the North com
menting in rapturous terms upon its silly
effusions and the editor I am told, takes
it around among his acquaintances in the
town points to these numerous highly
flavored extracts with a grin and a
chuckle, boasting the while ol the rich
rumpus he is kicking up and the big noise
bis paper it making in the world. The
citizens of this town and county wish ii
known that they would before have tak
rn steps to express in a public and un
mistakable way their emphatic repudia
tion of the States and all its belongings,
but knowing the utter insignificance of
the paper at home; they never supposed
that any importance would bo att died
toits utteranc s abroad. The reference to
it by some of the Northern journals as “a
leading and influential paper of the South
is what Josh Billings would call “sni-
kasm biled down.” But small matter,
that. The force will be kept up, and
when the Okolona wane-doodle again

d'lie Louisville Democrat says it is for
the people every where in this country to
determine whether the attempt of the
Radical leaders in Congress to create an
alarm and excite sectional passions and
prejudices sltall succeed. It rests with the
people to say whether they will thus be
abused and allow business and polites to
he deranged by dark gamesters. Phis is
sue is made, and is making headway in
the Federal Senate. There it is haughti
ly .;]>(] boldly pretended that the l)emo
<• ratio legislation to repeal the obnoxious
laws in dispute ifi a convert attempt to
tamper with the integrity of Union. A
chaige more false or base was never form
ulated in the councils of any great gov
ernment; and yet the country is expected
to take it for reality and become alarmed
oml agitated. It is done for effect to,
produce alarm and create a icignof cx
i in v age nee and despot ic power.
Ki Jjt-tei tl a< haM oPall our people,
are agreed that the laws the Democrats
seek to repeal are unwholesome, danger
,nis and disgraceful to an enlightened free
country, and yet the exerciseofthe legit
imate power of Congress for the purpose
of wiping them out is declared by Radi
cal leaders to be “revolutionary,” and
they threaten that Hayes shall exercise
the veto [ ower against the appropriation
bills to defeat the reformation sought.
This, of course, will leave the army, the
legislative and executive departments
without money after June 30, 1870.
The dead-lock is sure to come and
the people must arouse themselves at once
to the serious pass to wdiich Federal
affairs are drifting. Congress is sure to
pass the hills with the repealing measures
attached and the issue rests with the pow
er of extreme Radical leaders to coerce
Hayes +o an unwarrantable veto of bilb.
against whichhio constitutional objection
can be urged.
Certainly Congress must pass appro
priation bills in such form as it deems
best for the public welfare. Having done
this if the veto power is used to defeat the
measures, and supplies of money for the
departments are thus cut off, the respon
sibility must rest with the party whose
executive assumes to exercise the veto for
such a purpose.
Why all this strife? Why is it that a
law permitting the use ot tioojs at the
polls cannot be repealed by Congress
without incurring a veto that will de
prive the army of supplies? What party
is c.csj crate enough to stand by that law
at such an arbitrary exeicise of the veto
power? Tie weaning and significance
is just this. Without troops at the polls
and su| ervisers and marshals by the
thousands, the Radical party caunotcar
rv the Presidential election, and therefore
it threatens the use of the veto to keep
its hold upon these adjuncts of tyranny
and despotism.

Mr. Editor: — l received an invita
tion from some of the good people of
Wildwood to attend a fishing party at
Wildwood mill on the first Saturday in
in May, but between you and me, as 1
don’t want to sav it publicly, Mr. Edi
tor, 1 don’t believe there was much fish
ing done but fishing of men, and there
was not much there in the line of genus
licmo, but a few minnows. 1 found
mvsuilf an tbo > ci>iu> of tuition honictimc
in the afternoon. As 1 neared the crowd
1 beard something which sounded like
the musical tones of a cat, but on draw
ing nearer, I found that it nrocoeded
from an old cracked violin, played by a
would-beWilhemj or a Eememyi. Look
ing around for some signs of the fishing,
I saw only three or four poles leaning
against the trees reminding one of “Her
bert Rocket” calmly and quietly looking
about them, or Mark Twain's horse
“leaning up against something to think.”
Just as I had finished looking around
I heard some one close by me say “what
does that fiddle mean ?” the answer was
“it means they are going to tear up the
ground and make it over, pretty soon.”
I wondered what peculiar geological pro
cess they we\e going to try to bring to
bear on that particular spot of ground
to make it over, and was just about to
ask when I remembered the words of
Paul, “let the women keep silence, all,”
so I thought i would keep mv mouth
shut and eyes-open, but I had not long
to try this most difficult thing for a wo
man to do, i. (V ‘weep my mouth,” for
soon came in gutSral rones “couples for
another sett,” and Mr. Editor, who do
you guess made up the “sett” for the
and ii.ee ? why, four Methodists, one Bap
tist, three Publicans, and the class leader
playe 1 the fiddle. 1 could not see much
of the dancers for the nebular volume of
dust which arose fr mi the ground, i
did feel rather soil} for one young man
who was not fortunate enough to pro
cure a partner, and hugged a tree, dan
cing just as hard aw In* cor'd, and lie
really seemed to enh y if.
] began to feel just as i imagine' 1
would had ! stolen n sheep and been
caught at it, so 1 respectfully took
“French leave,” thinking of the little
boy’s speech about (he “lour Methodists,
eight ‘lkiptistess’ and five Presbyterians
who all said they would take sugar in
‘theTu.’” Htareyk.

Tho Mysteries of Carboiine as a Restora
tive.
The composition of tlie human hair has
never been accurately or satisfactorily de
termined. Chemical analysis has revealed
its main constituents, but, as it varies es
sentially in different persons, and in tho
same person at different ayes, it is impossi
ble to determine with any accuracy exactly
what quality is lacking where a person be
comes prematurely gray, or what prepara
tion is best suited to restore the natural
growth and vigor where the hair falls out
so as to produce baldness. Hence it is that
all artificial preparations have failed, in
some essentials at least, to meet the re
quirements of a perfect hair restorative.
There are a number of excellent dressings
and washings, and scores of preparations
that are either indifferent or positively in
jurious, and the great multiplicity of these
furnishes an argument in support of the
fact that there is something lacking in
them all. The new article, Carboiine, con
tains all the qualities essential to a perfect
hair restorative, both as regards natural
color and a full, luxuriant growth. jhe
basis of Carboiine is petroleum, and in
that wonderful article, produced in Na
ture’s own laboratory, are properties which
the chemist’s art lias not yet been able
to combine, ami which act like magic upon
the scalp, the follicles, and the various ele
ments of which the hair is composed. Its
use as a hair-dressing is the greatest < •"
modern discoveries, and there is no long r
any reason why the prematurely gray
and the bald should not, at a trifling ex
pense, eeure to then’ elves that most de
sirable ml a ! tractive of all personal adorn
ments, a. luxuriant and healthy growth of
hair. Sold by druggists.
