To the Philadelphia Press, one of Mr..
FoRNEY's ''two papers, both daily" the
Secretary of the United States Senate,
writes as follows:
Congress has by decisive vote stricken
the word s'white'' from all the laws and
charters of the District of Columbia. Men
of any color can now hold Office and sit on
juries in Washington and GEORGETOWN
Impartial justice is thus declared at the
capital By the representatives of the nation
Mr.. johnson will probably render this
national profession of belief in the Decla-
ration of Independence more emphatic by
haYing it passed over his veto.
We have not seen the vote by which
this word sswhite" was stricken from the
laws, SO as to give negroes the political
rights of white men, but we venture the
assertion that not a Radical vote from Ohio
was given against it.
The doctrine so effectually repudiated in
Ohio at the last election, is brought to bear
upon people who have no representation
in Congress, and who stand as more than
five hundred in opposition to it to one in
its favor. - ~ st~ a7-sl4e75s'1 le

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Proofs f the Superiority Of
THE AMERICAN
WALTHAM az
w A E G III p S.

This country has reason to be proud of this
splendid specimen of American operat i've genius
and enterprise. That it will work revolution in
the Watch manufacturing of the world no one can
doubt who examines the operations of the Walt-
ham establishme mt, for it turns out W atch move
ments at just about one-half the cost of imported
movements-beside the uniform reliability of the
machiue-made Watches must give them . great
advantage over all others wherever known. A poor
time-piece of the machine make will be as rare in
the future as good one of hand make has been
heretofore. for machinery is arbitrary in its per-
formance. and can make a perfect article Just as
easy as one that is worthless. 1t will be cause Of
congratulation if this highly useful American en-.
terprise shall have the effect of driving out of mar
ket the thousands Of trashy foreign articles mis-
called timekeepers. by furnishing so excellent and
econon ical . substitute."-N. p. Times. 19i .esiA
We have had one of the works of this Com pany
IN sase for some considerable time, and. compar-
ing them with former rst-class works Of different
manufacture possessed by us, they have establish
ed in our opinion their superiority over any ever
introduced for correctness as time pieces.n-T7e
World. 1si,si
I'VE notice with regret (writing of the Paris
Exposition) the absence of specimens of American
manufacture, which. although only comparatively
of recent birth among US, is already producing re-
suits Of the most satisfactory character. The
Watches manufactured by the Waltham Company
are certainly, so far strength. durability and ex
cellence as time-i eepers concerned IS good as
anything produced by the French or Swiss manu-
factures."-N. p Herald. aiisr ssl.s5Tas z 81 ~
"The beauty. the precision, tho greater cheap
kess. the uniform excellence of Watch construct-
ed by machinery so exquisite tbatthe aere speota-
cleof its operation is poetic, gra 1ually give the
American Watches public preference which win
not be edeceived.'-Hurpers' Weekly.

i THERE are many reasons for rejoicing at
the square and unqualified rejection of the
impeachment motion, but not the Least is
the deliverance from the deluge of speeches
which we protested against last week
That we were not alarmed without cause,
may be judged from the fact that before the
motion referred to was put, no less than
forty-six members of the House had filed
notices of their intention to speak on the
impeachment question. Perhaps know
ledge of this portentous fact accelerated the
action of the House. At all events, we re-
joice that so much gas has been shut off

The Wheeling Intelligencer, of Saturday,
says:
We were told yesterday that work had
been stopped at the Whitaker Iron Works
on Thursday evening". We noticed that all
Iron Works were dark and cold. Only the
nail machines were in operation. We trust
that these suspensions are but temporary,
as hundreds of laborers are thus thrown
out of employment. With no Work, and
just entering upon winter, the prospect is
anything but pleasant to the workmeD, and
we believe that our manufacturers would
very willingly continue their operations,
did the circumstances justify.

sHypocri,icaI 10 the I.ast.

The finest creation of DICKENS fancy
was the character of PKcKsNIFF, a hypo-
critic and scamp, SO accomplished in hy-
pocrisy that he even tried to deceive him
self. PEcKsNIFF must haye presided at
the late meeting of the Radical committee
which recently met to fix the time for
holding the nominating Convention of
that party for President and Vice Presi-
dent, at Chicago, on the 10th of May. 1@
In the call the committee say:
ave invite the cooperation of all citi-
zens who rejoice that our great civil war
has happily terminated in the discontinue
of rebellion; who would hold fast the
unity and integrity of the Republic, and
maintain its paramount right to defend to
the utmost its existence, whether imperiled
by secret conspiracy or armed force; of
an economical administration of the pub
lie expenditures; OF the complete extirpa-
ton of the principles and policy of slavery,
and of the speedy reorganization of those
States whose governments were destroyed
by the rebellion, and the permanent resto-
ration to their proper practical relations
with the United States, in accordance with
the true principles OF republican govern
ment."
The above, if carried out, would exclude
every Radical in the land from participa-
tion in its own Convention.

A correspondent reminds us that during
| the municipal campaign in this city, the
| franks of Members OF Congress used by the
| two Democratic candidates to send their
circulars free through the mails were not
| written, but stamped, upon the envelopes
He calculates that the Postoffice lost about
5000 by this utterly objectionable misuse
legitimately applied. Mr.. Wood and Mr.
Chanler are mentioned by our correspon-
dent as the offending Congressman, but
they were not the only ones. We nave
also seen the frank of the Hon. John Fox
similarly prostituted.-N. Y. Tribune
During the late election campaign, the
State Central Committee OF the Republican
party, had the franks of r. B. HAYES, its
candidate for Governor, procured, and
used them extensively in the transmission
of documents. This was not the only
case, for we doubt If single Radical MEM
Der of Congress but had his name printed
on envelopes and used for similar pur-
pose. More than this, the documents en-
anating from the Radical committee at
Washington are thus transmitted through
the mail by thousands, and we doubt II
on a single one, thus sent, the name of the
member of Congress, whose frank carried
IL free of postage, was written by himself.
We have seen the printed franks of
SCHENCK, SHELLABARGER, and others, thus
used in defiance of law, to aid Radicalism
in its effort to retain political power. The
Tribune strains at the Democratic gnat,
while it swallows the Radical camel.

ALTHOUGH Andrew johnson has escaped
impeachment, history will record that he
was the first President against whom such
a movement was initiated.-Jomnal.
And history will also record the fact that
the Radical party is the only one that ever
attempted to remove an obnoxious official
by suborning witnesses, and, as warning
to future parties, it will record that the
infamy of the attempt stuck to its perpe-
traitors as did the fabled shirt to Nessus.

On the night of the 14th of April 1866, the hand
of wretched miscreant sent ABRAHAM LINCOLN
to his grave and spread mourning over Conti-
nent. An intensifed gloom settled impenetrably
on every mind. Bells sadlyatolled, mourning dra-
perry appeared upon public and private buildings.
and all ths chief places in the land witnessed the
general sorrow. Six days the martyrs remains were
shrined at the National Capitol. and then amidst
profound grief and universal sympathy, borne on
their journey of nearly two thousand miles to heir
last rest in the silence of the Western prairie.-
Never before was the memory Of any man SO honor
ed in his DEATH any obsequies participated in by
so many sincere mourners. ii
Over two and a half years have elapsed since the
calamity occurred that plunged nation into
tears and during that time number of the most
prominent American Artists and artisans, direct
g eihy master mird, have been industriouslv en-
gagged in the reproduction Of the funeral pageant,
the randest the world ever witnessed.

THE decision of a Chief Justice of the
United States on point that was not in
reality before him, to the effect that ne
groes have no rights that white men are
bound to respect, was ''the direful spring
of woes unnumbered ."-Cleueldnd Herald.
No SANDER. the offspring of malignsnt
hatred, was ever more persistently charged,
and when charged more triumphantly re-
futed. 1t. is base, wilful, malicious false
hood, that any Chief Justice of the United
States said any such thing.
The late Judge TANEY is the Chief JUS
tice alluded to, and the reiteration of the
SANDER on dead man in the Herald, is
among the most contemplate of the weak
inventions of the enemy.
The editor of the Herald, when he penned
the above, either knew his charge was
false, or else he is know nothing. If he
knew it he is a knave; if he did not he is
of that class of whom it would be base
f1attery to him and SANDER to the animal,
to call an ass.
We really have no patience with the
class of editors who, like the Herald, think
that falsehood, well stuck to, is as good
as the truth. His own party friends have
branded the charge on Judge TANEY as
SANDER, and yet the Herald repeats it
Contempt but lily expresses the loathing
that honest men will feel at such conduct.
