Resolutions on the Death OF Joseph
Roberts.

At special communication of Dodge
vile Lodge No. 119 f. & A. NJ, held at
Dodgeville, July 81, 1867, A. L. 1867, tho
following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
WHEREAS, it has pleased the Almighty
to call from life of usefulness and activi-
ty, by death, our worthy brother, Joseph
Roberts, who died at his residence in the
town of Ridgeway, Iowa County, WIscon-
sin, on the oath of July, 1867. BY this
stroke of Providence, the Masonic fra
ternity. and this Lodge in particular, have
lost q warm supporter OF the cherished
nrinciples of the order, the community an
honest and upright citizen, and the family
of the deceased an affectionate father.
ResoIped, That while we bow in humble
submission to the will of Him who presides
over the destinies of all, we recognize in
this bereavement the hand Of merciful
Father, who doeth all things well, who ever
abounds in mercy and righteousness.
ResoIoed, That we extend to the bereav-
ed family our heartfelt sympathy in this
their hour of deep distress, anguish and
sorrow; and point them for consolation
and solace to our Common Parent, who
noteth every sparrow's fall, and who tenn
pereth the wind to the shorn lamb.
Resoloed, That in the sudden death of
our brother, we are reminded that we too
are mortal, and born to die, and that we
should cast about and live more diligent in
the practice of those great tenets which
are inculcated in the great light of Mason
ry, hoping for admission into the Spirit
ual Lodge beyond the grave, mot made
with hands, eternal in the heavens"

HOW AMERICAN WATCHES ARE MADE.

HOW AMERICAN WATCHES AXE MADE.
The American Waltham Watch is made by no such
uncertain process-and by no such incompetent work
men, All the Company's operations, from the receps
ton of the raw materials to the completion OF the
Watch are carried under one roof, and under one
sklIful and competent director. But the great dis
tnsuishing feature of their Watches, is the fact that
their several parts all made by the finest and
mrst perfect machinery ever brought to the aid of
human industry. Every one of the more than hun
dred parts Of every watch is made by a machine
that inalbly reproduces every succeeding part with
the most unvarying accuracy. 1t was only necessary
to make perfect watch of any particular style
and then to adjust the hundred machines necessary
to reproduce every part of that watch and it follows
that every succeeding watch must be like it,.

perceived that the claim to the proceeds of
the cotton had some foundation, for surely SO
large compensation as that would scarcely
be allowed where there was no property in
terest in the cotton. 1t was the opinion of
the oficer to whom we have alluded that the
claim was altogether a just one for the pro-
ceeds OF the $4,000 bales, and that General
Logan would succeed in getting it allowed.
Il, however, the allowance Of 100000 ends
the matter, so far as the treasury department
is concerned, General Logan may not be so
rich as he anticipated But a two million

ment gives rebuff. The 4th of March is
close at hand, and General Logan viii take
his seat in congress, where his advantages
will be materially increased for operating in
behalf of clients, who, out of two millions Of
dollars, could well afford to pay fee of hall
million, if they could but recover.
At all events it will be well for his radical

The Huge Cotton Case.

short time since it was announced in
the papers that General John A. Logan had
determined to make Chicago his place of
residence, and that he would soon build a
very elegant dwelling house on an eligible
lot. Some Illinois journal expressed de-
sire to know where Johnny would get mon
ey enough to build house with, or in what
way he had been so lucky as to be possessor
of funds adequate to the purchase of a lot
and the erection of fine mansion upon it.
A fact or two may explain matters. On
the Both day of November last, an officer of
high rank, who had been associated much of
the time during the war with General Logan,
| informed us conhdentially that General Lo
| gan had been retained by certain parties to
| carry through big cotton claim. His high
standing with the government a soldier,
his being radical, and member elect to con
gress, presented rare combination of ad-
| yantages, such that it was not doubted that
| he would succeed in obtaining the desired
award from the treasury department.
We notice that journals in New York and
| in Alabama, within the month, have alluded
| to his connection with the case, and the ma
| ture of the claim. 1t seems that certain per-
sons during the war, under n permit from
| Mr. Lincoln, purchased in Alabama and
Mississippi eighteen thousand bales of cot
ton. The greater portion of this large amount
was seized by United States treasury agents
and forwarded to New York as captured
property. The. parties who had purchased
| the cotton under Mr.. Lincoln's permit, claim
ed the proceeds. Their claim was denied by
the treasury department, as is said, under
the advice of eminent legal counsel The
secretary would do no more than allow the
parties such a portion of the proceeds as
would reimburse them for expenses and SER
vices rendered in preserving the property, it
appearing that if they had not saved it the
confederates would have DESTROYED it. 1t was
to prosecute this claim, involving over two
millions of dollars, that General Logan, with
all that he was as major general, radical and
member OF congress, was employed, his In
terest in the case being fee large enough to
enrich him for life, contingent upon his sue
cess, and proportioned to It. 1t appears that.
congress got wind of the matter, and in such
huge cotton case fancied that there was
room enough for very snug speculation for
somebody. We do not remember precisely.
but we think it was Mr. Wilson of the sen.
ate, who, two or three weeks since, sm oked
the matter out by resolution calling, upon.
the treasury department for information. con
corning IT. That information, we believe has
not yet been communicated to congress-, II
is quite certain, however. that General Logan
had mice thing" in prospect, sufficiently
lucrative and promising to warrant him in
indulging in visions of choice lots and princely
mansions in Chicago. He seemed to have a
'sure thing" The fact that the treasury de-
partment allowed 100000 for .sexpenses
and services can be satisfactorily explained
only oy surprising that the department really
