FUNERAL.--We observe that the National
flag is literally suspended, to-day, from the
building occupied by the Chief Quartermas-
ter of the Department of North Carolina
We take it that this is done out of respect
to the memory of defunct Radicalism in
North Carolina, whose obsequies are pro-
crossing to- day with Holden, Thomas, Leh-
man, Menninger & Co., as all-bearers: We
take it for granted that this is the object of
the display. Political antipathy to the Ad-
ministration of course, can have nothing to
do with it.-Sentlaet.
The Sentinel, then, assumes that to display
the American flag is to give offence to the
national administration. We do not think
so. The administration is the peculiar Gus
todian of the flag 1t honors the flag, as all
Enthusiastically loyar men do in all portions
of the country
The Sentinel loses no opportunity to ex-
binary prudence, it seems to us, should re-
strain the Sentinel in this respect but its feel
ing against the flag and the loyalty which it
symbolizes is so intense that it will crop out
ON nearly every occasion.
We learn that Seaton "lost his soup" on
Thursday. He could not think of going to
his dinner along the street where the flag
was waving. 1t is reported that Brother
Pell was seen, about 2 P. NJ, making his way
home to his dinner up Hillsborough street,
health of our worthy contemporaries will not
be injured by these efforts of theirs to avoid
walking under or near the flag.

Mail Routes and Post-offices.

The special agent for this State, DIR. A
Jobe, is still indefatigably engaged in pro-
viding mail facilities for our people. He
requests US to say that he would like to have
information from all parts of the State in
relation to useless mail routes that should
be suspended and also as to routes that
should be established. Also, any Informal
ton in relation to mail facilities that may
be deemed important. Address him at
Raleigh.
We learn that about half the post-ofices
have been re-established in this State.

gust, in discussing the probable action OF
the Philadelphia National Convention, the
Eoening journal said:
If the wish is to compact the real Union
Party platform will be adopted to accom-
plish this result. Aasd 1t is possible to agree
upon Satch o. platform. We could draw one,
and use no single sentence that has not been
spoken by the President himself. If we
should make any modification whatever in
his declared principles, it would. only be to
render them less Radical for we never ia
vored either general hanging or indiscrimi-
nate confiscation.
Our platform would be:
1. Security for the future-to be guaran-
teed by faithful execution and submission
to the Civil Rights and Freedmens Bureau
Laws.
2. ADOPTION OF THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION.
8. The Immediate admission to their seats
in Congress Of all loyal men aoto can take the
test oath 4; and
4. The recognition of the right of every
State to regulate the question of suffrage in
its own way.
If the Philadelphia Pilgrims will give US
some such platform as this, great many will
go to Philadelphia-next time. Such a
platform, with Conservative and EXecu-
tive Endorsement, aoould carry r0erything be-
fore tit aoill qo1eter it has such endorsement
or not
"The Philadelphia Convention did give
the country just such a platform as the
Jonrnal itself recommended and the main
plank in it was the very one on which the
Journal then laid great stress, but which it
now repudiates, namely, the admission to
their seats in Congress of all loyal men from
loyal States.
The Journal is in the habit of talking
good deal about consistency"

Reduction in Price of the American

In consequence of the recent great improve

reduced our prices to as low point as they can

SO that no one need hesitate to buy watch now
from the expectation that it will be cheaper at
some future time. The test of ten years and the
manufacture and sale of
More than zoe, 900 Watches
have given our productions the very highest rank
among time-keepers. Commencing with the de-
termination to make only thoroughly excellent
watches, our business has steadily increased as
the public became acquainted with their value,
until for months together, we have been unable
to supply the demand. We have repeatedly en-
Iarged our factory buildings until they now cover
over three acres of ground, and give accommoda-
ton to more than eight hundred workmen.
We are fully justified in saying that we now

should remember that unlike the guarantee of a
foreign maker who can never be reached this
guarantee is good at all times against the Com

thorough trial, any watch should prove defective
in any particular, it may be al ways exchanged for
another. As the American Watches, made at

for single watches.
