PROOFS Of THE SUPERIOR QuALlTH
OF THE
AMERICAN w ATCH
MADE Ar
WALTHAM. MASS.

The American Watch Company, Of Waltham,
Mass, respectfully submit that their Watches
are cheaper, more accurate, less complex, more
durable, better adapted for general use, and
more easily kept in order and repaired than any
other watches In the Market They are simpler
in structure, and therefore stronger, and less
likely to be injured than the majority Of foreign
Watches, which are composed Of from 1875 to 800
pieces, while in an old English watch there are
more than 700 parts How they run under the
hardest trial watches can have, is shown by the
following letter:
PENNSYLVANIA, RAILROAD COMPANY.
OFFICE OF THE GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT,
ALTOONA, Pa, Is Dec, 1885,
Genaenen: The watches manufactured by you
have been in use ON this railroad for several
watches as part Of our equipment. There are
now some three hundred of tn m carried on our
line, and we consider them good and reliable
time-kceper. Indeed, have great satisfaction
in saving your watches give us less trouble and
have worn and do wear much longer without re-
pairs than any watches we have ever had in use
, on this road. As you are aware, we formerly
! trusted in those of English manufacture, Of ac-
knowledged good reputation; butas class they
never kept time as correctly, nor have they done
s as good service, as yours.
In these statements am sustained BY my pre-
(, decesso,, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extended
! over series Of years, Il

WASHINGTON, Sept. Z

WASHINGTON, Sept. z.
The President has instructed the heads Of
departments to furnish each person hold
ing an appointment in their respective de-
partment with an official copy of the procla-
nation OF the Bird inst, with directions to
observe strictly its requirements for an earn
est support of the Constitution and faith
full execution of the laws which have been
made in pursuance thereof.
The President is said to be highly elated
with the Democratic victory in California,
and predicts similar result at the elections
in the Atlantic States. The latest returns
from there show Democratic majority in
Legislature, thus cutting off all probability
of q Republican Senator to succeed Con-
gress.

Ger. Grant a.d he Convention,

The 6sntinsl, the rebel organ of Gov.
Worth, takes the following notice Of Gen
Grants letter to the late Republican Conven-
tionin this City: g
9 It is too often the ase-though there
are exceptions, and we have an honorable
one in the Post Cnmmandantin this city land,
we are led to believe, in the District Com
mander, THAT the officers of the army are
not merely politicians, but partizans. The
Generalization is SO diffused, that many Of
those who are highest in authority, and who
ought to set better example, are the most
conspicuous in the exhibition of their party
prejudices. Even Gen. Grant. in q letter ac-
knOwledging an invitation to be present at
the Jacobin Convention in this city, instead
Of rebuking, or at least declining to notice
it, expresses his :" utmost thanks'' therefor,
and pleads business of an urgent nature
as an excuse for non attendance. And an
ex officer of the Federal army, who was .
member of the late Convention, and who
made Radical speech in the affair of March
9th last, while in the army, boastingly pro-
claimed that g il was told him (Gen. Grant,
in most emphatic terms. that it was Repub-
lican State Convention,n and that lit was
the first acknowlcdg that he, had ever
made to a political Convention I" We deep
" regret that it should have been his first I;
and we hope, for the sake of the honor Of
the army and the country, and of good ex-
ample, that it may be his last" 80 i.sl

The Amnesty Proclamation.

proclamation was before the Cabinet yesterday,
and that q long discussion thereon took place.
The subject OF this proclamation has been dis
cussed in Cabinet melting before, meeting consid-
erable opposition from some ofits members, As
originally written it is said to have provided for
the pardon of all engaged in the rebellion save
Davis, Lee, Beauregard, and few others but
since the former Cabinet discussion 1t is said to
have been so modified as tomake the amnesty less
sweeping. 1t may possibly be promulgated to,
day, although some appear to think the Presi-
dent will recede from his intention, and not issue
it at all. There is no doubt, however, that there
is great pressure upon him to issue 1t immedi-
ately. Wdah. Chronicle.
