PRESIDENT JOHNSON sent a message
to the Senate last week, giving his rea-
sons for suspending from office Secreta-
ry Stanton. These, so far as yet known,
briefly stated, were 1st. The open de-
fiance of Mr.. Stanton to the request of
the President to send in his resignation,
thus casting disrespect on the Presiden-
tial Office. ID. The failure of Secreta-
ry Stanton to send instructions to Gen
eral Baird when telegraphed by
the latter to do so previous to the
assembling of the Convention at New
Orleans, and his neglect to communi-
cate to the President the despatch until
ten days subsequently, and after the
riot had occurred. The President also
states that when he consulted the MEM
bers of the Cabinet on the subject Ofthe
Tenure ofOfice bill, Secretary Stanton
was the most emphatic Of all in con-
demning it.

THE TRIAL CT JEFFERSON DAVIS
After a great flourish of Radical trum-
pets in regard to the trial of Jefferson
Davis, at which Judge Chase was to
preside, it appears that the affair will
not come off until May next. Now,
this is simply pitiful evasion of a
solemn duty on the part of Judge
Chase. Ever since a trial of Davis has
been spoken of, the Chief Justice has,
by one dodge and another, made it
convenient to so arrange his affairs as
to render his attendance apparently
Judge Chase is a Radical candidate for
the Presidency, and it is scarcely to be
expected that he will place himself in
position where he will be compelled
to give an opinion that will have a
bearing upon the political prospects.
1t may, therefore, be confidently as
serted that Jefferson Davis will never
be tried-at least not until Judge
Chase's chances for the Presidency are
fully determined.

DULL TINES IN MAINE.-The
correspondent Of the Boston Journal
writes gloomily of the business of that
State. He says:
"The fact cannot be gainsayed that,
go where you may in Maine, business
will be found crippled and the cry of
dull times goes up on every hand. In
a recent communication have already
stated that there will be less numbering
by One-half this winter than usual.
Mention has also been made of such a
prostratiOn in shipbuilding interests
that hardly vessel can be found upon
the stocks. Hundreds of wOrkmen are
out of employment. Never before
wereourmanufacturingi nginterestsinsuch
a state of languish. At our manufac-
turing centres either the pay Ofemploy
ees has been materially reduced or
reduction in the hours of labor been
made. Several of the leading manufac-
turers have joined in the Cleveland
movement for the discontinuance Of
the enormous and unequal revenue tax
that now oppresses many of our domes-
tic articles, as a means of relief"

A CANADIAN TREATY.-In March,
1866, Congress suspended thereciprocity
treaty with Canada, which it was
thought would be an admirable means
of venting its wrath against Great Bri-
tain. Previously to that time large
supplies of wheat, oats, potatoes, lum-
Der, and other articles Of Canadian pro-
ductiOn, had been obtained from Can
ada, increasing our commerce with the
provinces ut the rate Of from fifteen to
twenty-five per cent. annually, but,
since there has been q reduction of fif-
ty-two per cent. in our imports from
that quarter, the consequence Of which
is felt in higher prices. There is now
a prospect of the re-enactm ent of the
treaty, it having been discovered that
we have been furnishing ourselves in
in this brilliant experiment to afflict
"perfidiOus Albion"

ASSAULT UPON \ WHITE GIRL BY
NEGROES-Arrest Of the Bu6idnS.-An
infamous assault was made upon Miss
Harriet Thomas, a respectable young
female residing in the Sixth ward,
while passing along Colder street on
Monday evening. When near the
c0lored school house she was approach
ed by three or four negro rutfianS who
violently seized her person, evidently
with the design of perpetrating most
diabolical outrage. The girls screams
alarmed the neighbors, and caused the
ruffianS to seek safety in flight. Sub
sequentIy constable Radabaugh cap
tured four negroes named Thomas H.
Smith, Richard Anderson, John w.
Smith and George Albert Washington,
on suspicion Of having been concerned
in this affair. After a hearing before
Alderman Cole, Of the Sixth ward, the
two last named "manhOOdS" were dis
charged, and Thomas II. Smith and
Richard Anderson committed to prison
for trial on a charge of assault and bat
terry with intent to commit rape. That
this was the design Of the negro scoun-
drels, there can be no doubt from the
nature OftheteStimOny presented. 1t IS
the general impression, and no doubt a
correct one, that nearly all the former
outrages of this kind in our city were
committed by ruffians of the same race
and color. Should Smith and Anderson
be convicted, they ought to be pun
ished with such severity as will re-
strain others from the commission OF
similar Patriot q: Union

THE following is the 4th section of
Educational Ordinances, as introduced
in the negro Constitutional Convention
of Louisiana, viz:
No person shall establish a private
school unless licensed by the State, and
all such schools shall be taxed as other
professions, and the Legislature shall
make laws governing this entire sub
ject.
This is to prevent the establishment
of private schools for white children,
as it is the object of the convention to
compel the two races to attend the
same school and be educated together
as social EQUALS.

STICK TO SAMBO.-The Morning Post,
the New Radical CHASE organ estab-
ed in Philadelphia, in late article
prints the following significant para
graph:
The gentlemen who propose to take
negro suffrage out of our platform,
would leave the party without a mis-
sion. They would vainly seek to raj
ly the people by loud denunciations of
treason, and boasts of Republican SER
vices to the Union. No thinking man
now troubles himself about the crimes
of Jeff. Davis, and the victories
of the war, except so far as they are
matters of history. We cannot carry
them into political campaign. The
issue before the country is negro suff-
rage, and the party cannot eVade it,
without c. asing to be a party.

a short discussion took place on the
bill eXempting all cotton grown after

short debate the resolution was agreed
to. The bill to raise the value of legal
tender notes to par was then taken up,
and Mr.. Corbett made speech against
any additional initiation of the curren-
cy. The Senate then went into eXecu-

AMERICAN
WALTHAhi
WATCHES.

The true value of Machinery applied to Watch
making is not that by its use Watches made
rapidly, but that they made correctly. Very
few people know why Watham Watch should
be superior to any other. In the first place, at
Watham the Watch is regarded as only machine,
to be constructed like any other machine, me-
chanical principles. If the watches are good, it
is because the machinery is good. Ofcourse there
must be no defect in the principle or plan of the
movement-no mistake in the sizes or shapes of
the pieces of which it is omposed-nothng want
ing in their properties and no error in their posi-
tiyns. These points thoroughly settled it
rests wholly with the machinery constructed with
infinite diversity of form and function expressly
for the purpose, to produce the finished pieces.
By means of multiplying guages and microscopes,
tests and inspection for the detection of wear in
the cutting tools, and for faults and flaws in steel
stone are made to accompany the work in
cry stage from beginning to end. As necessary
result, the watch goes together perfect machine.
Every part is found to fit properly in its place
Every pin may be pushed till it pinches, and ev
cry screw turned home. Ins cad of a sluggish and
feeble action the balance, even under the pressure
of the lightest handspring, vibrates with wide
ing sound always characteristic of the Waltham
Watch. The machine is time-keeper from the
start
This system Of Matchmaking is unknown in for
egn countries, and is entirely original with the
Waltham Company. The Company claim that by
it they produce watches that cannot be equalled
for every quality which makes watch valuable
Simple in plan and correct in principle, the move
ment is not only beautifully finished, substantial
accurate and cheap, but is uniform in the minu-
test details, not easily damaged, and when
paired always as good new. There differ
ent grades of finish in the different varieties of
watches made by the Waltham Company, as
there are different sizes and shapes to suit all tastes
and means but every Watch that bears the gen.
uiae trademark of ''WALTHAM' is guaranteed to
be u good Que, and nobody need be afraid to buy
