AMERICAN MANUFACTURES AMERI-
CAN WATCH COMPANY OF WALTHAM, MASS.
Our readers know that the best mechanism
OF the best manufactures of this country is
unsurpassed anywhere in the world. The
genius of American inventors and mechanics
produced the cotton-gin, the mechanical
reaper and mower, the sewing machine, the
best Geographic instruments, and last, but
not least, the wonderful machinery of the
American Watch Company of Waltham,
Mass, mechanism that takes hold of the
raw materlal-the brass and STEEL and gold,
and precious stones, and under competent
direction turns out that daily wonder and
necesslty-a perfect time-keeper.
Beginning in 1850 in very moderate way,
but with the determination to make none
but thoroughly good watches, the Company
have continued to enlarge their works from
year to year, Gas they were unable to supply
the demand,) until now they manufacture
about one-half of all the watches sold in the
United States. Their factory covers over
three acres Of ground, and as an illustration
OF Its extent, wemay mention that it is snp-
piled with over sixty miles of iron pipes
These watches have proved so reliable that
several of the railways of the country now
furnish them as a part of their equipment;
and while recommending other lines to adopt
the same precaution against accidents, the
editor of the Boston .Railpay Times remarks ::
we have carried one of these watches for
the past four years, and although it has had
to submit to rough usage in camp life, horse
back riding, &C., we do not hesitate to say
that it is the best time-keeper and less ex-
pensive to keep in order than any watch we
ever carried" The Company's success has
stimulated the manufacture and importation
of many worthless counterfeits SO that bny-
ers should be careful to see that they obtain
the genuine American watch made at Wal
than.

THE CHIEF JUSTICE In NoRTH-CARoLNA

The visit of Chief Justice Chase to the
Capital of our State, for the purpose of hold
ing session OF the Circuit Court, may well
be regarded as one of the most important
events since the closing of the war. In its
moral, civil, and political bearings it can
not be overestimated. We regard it as one
of the most salutary and efficient steps in
the way of practical reconstruction. No in
telligent man can fail to observe that the
appearance at this iuncture, in our midst, of
the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of
the United States, must naturally exert a
most marked influence for good It demon
strates that the march of civil rule is steadily
gaining in strength and power. It proves
that in spite of all the efforts made to widen
the breach between our State and the gener-
eral government, that we are gradually, but
certainly approaching that happy period
| when the authority Of the United States will
again be placed upon its proper and .legiti-
mate basis. Just in proportion as the gen
eral government, in all its branches. can I'M
interruptedly assert its constitutional and
| rightful supremacy, will the great work of
restoration go forward.
In this connection, we cannot but regard
| it as most fortunate circumstance that
man of the eminence, great attachments and
worldwide reputation of Chief Justice Chase
happens to occupy the first position in the
most august judicial tribunal of our coun-
try.
1t is further to be regarded as fortunate
for our State and people that we happen to
be located in the particular circuit assigned
to this distinguished Judge. His noble re-
cord as one Of our ablest statesmen, his long
and faithful adherance to the rights of man
| and the cause of universal freedom, his never
| to be forgotten services to our nation as
fnancier of the broadcast and most compre-
henslve views, together with the great abil-
ity he displays in his present high position,
at once point him out as capable of welding
more influence for the public welfare, than
almost any living public man.-Neao6ern Re-

REPUBLICAN TRIUMPH In WASHINGTON
CITY.

The third of June, 1867, is day hence
forth and forever memorable in the history
of the national capital. It witnessed not
only the initial vote of portion of our peo-
pie hitherto disfranchised and epslaved, but
the signal defeat of the party responsible for
both these great wrongs. This splendid
victory has been achieved in the face of
great difficulties and against immense odds.
The Copperheads resorted to every conceiva-
BILE species of fraud and meanness to avoid
defeat They had no less than .foe bogus
tickets in circulation. Some of these were
exact copies of the regular Republican ticket
in all but the names of the candidates. They
were headed Republican Ticket" printed
in the same colored ink, and WITH type SINH
lar to that used in the genuine ticket
These were circulated among the more I'M
suspecting of the colored voters. We have
no doubt that in many instances the fraud
was successful-not enough, however. to
secure the desired end A more shameless
and contemtible attempt at deception is not
to be found in the annals of American polit-
icals contests. And yet this is the work of
~ party that pirates about .ffauds.n The
Republican majority is about two thousand
five hundred on the city ticket. Besides this,
we have elected majority of the Common
Councimen. Had the contest been conduc-
ted with anything like fairness on the part
of the Copperheads, we would have carried
every ward, and elected every man on our
ticket. Considering the difficulties in the
way, and the INSCRIPTIONS character of the
foe we had to meet, we have achieved a
wonderful victory. A comparison of the
number OF registered voters with the vote
cast yesterday will show that we did not
get a chance to bring out our entire strength
This was owing, in part, to the utter in
efficiency of some of the men who acted as
receivers of votes. A number of them were
wholly uafit for the positions they sought to
occupy. As consequence, when the polls
closed at seven o'clock, hundreds were stand
ing in line, unable to get an opportunity to
deposit their ballots. But this is no time
to find fault, even if we were so disposed
The republicans, white and black, of Wash
ngton have redeemed the national capital

labors. Coming down to details we find
that we have elected

Now, Mr.. Editor: You have plain and

letter contained some wholesome truths, and
as matter of course was deemed "deliber-
ately disrespectful and offensive" For four
long years of tears and suffering and blood,
we were compelled to submit to the civil
and ecclesiastical despotism which was exer-
cised over us; resistance, or even apparent
dissatisfaction, might have cost as our our
lives. Even now, when the rebellion is
crushed, this Sanhedrim of traitors issues its

PREDICTIONS ABOUT TIE WINTER.
We see it generally stated that Eu.
ropean meteorologsts are predicting an
early and hard winter this year; for the
reason that the birds of passage have
begun their migration southwards at
least month earlier than usual Storks,
wild ducks and other birds are reported
to be passing southwards over France
and Belgium in large numbers. Similar
signs of a severe winter have, from time
to time, been Motel in our own country
aud We are inclined to attach more im-
portaHce to them than weather prophe-
sizes usually deserve. Mctereologists sag
wet summer signifies a dry winter, and
winters are always provorbiaily cold.
Housckcepers should make a note OF
this inference, which we think will prove
correct.
