WAsuINoToN. Juno 1s.-Tho formation OF tho
jury for Summarize trial is progressing. Tho panel
will most probably DO completed to-day.
The Inteatgencer Of this morning, which ia now
regarded as tho Executive organ, has tho follow.
ing: "We haro authority for tho statement TINT,
at very recent consultation OF tho Cabinet, il was
decided that tho military officers in command of
tho Two Districts, into which tho ton nreconstruct-
cd Southern States arc divided hayo no power to
remove .y,ciyn OH :ers deriving their au-
thorIty from tho stnto governments rs
now organized. The question: wo understand
before tho Cabinet had moro immediate reference
to the removal Of tho Governor and other civil
oiilcors OF Louisiana by General SHERIDAN, but of
course will also apply to the action OF tho other
four Commanders. No doubt tho forthcoming
opinion OF tho Attorney General, in accordance
with THO reasoning Of which il is understood tho
deoisoh'reforrea to was arrived a. will fully justify
the legality and proprioty Of this determination
II scarcoly need bo suggested TINT tho issuing OF.
orders replacing tho dcposed officers (which may
oSSo'ho hcecsnhS aa u consequence OF This de-
cision OF tho GovoInment), =, would bs no
ground for nm application on tho part of
General SHERIDAN to bo relieved from tho position
ho holds. Much less would it warrant tho infer
enco that tho Administration contomplatos or do
siros his removal for his errors. we fool author
lied to 6ay that the speculntions of sensational
Journals upon this point, however they thoy mny
DO attempted to bo supported by tho imagined po-
litca' manouvres on tho part OF other tho friends
or tho enemies Of the General, nrc without foun-
dalion."
It is alnioat certain that tho ncts Of tho District
Commanders, whoroin they hnve transccndcd the
authority of the law, will DO reycrsed and the pow
CT Of Provisional Government DO restored, and the
functionnries Of Provisional Governments will
hereafter only be removed by court mnrtial or by
act Of Congross. This is the decision Of the Cabi
not, STANTON only dissenting by silonce.. Aproba-
bio resignation OF District Commanders, under
thcae rovorses and restraints, was discussed Such
action was apprehonded aud doploIed Tho point
was mado, howeyor, that thcso District Command

PROOFS OF THE SUPERIOR QUALITY
OF TIE
AMERICAN WATCH
MADE AT
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 10 be injured than the majority of foreign
watches, which are composed of from 125 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, 1866.
Gentlemen The watches manufactured by you
have been in use on this railroad for several
years by enginemen, to whom we furnish
watches part Of equipment. There are
some three hundred of them carried on our
line, and we consider them good and reliable
time keeper. Indeed, 1 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 have ever had in use
on this road. As you aware, formerly
trusted in those of English manufacture, of ac-
knowlcdged good reputation =; but class they
never kept time as correctly, nor have they done
Us SOOu ScrVlcc, as yours.
In these statements | am sustained by my pre-
decessor, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extended
over series of years,
Respectfully,
EDWARD H. WILLIAMS,
General Superintendent.
american Watch Co., WaLham.
We make five different grades of watches,
named respectively as follows:
Appleton, Tracy & Co., WaItham, Mass.
Waltham Watch Co., Waltham, Mass.
p. S. Bartlett, WaItham, Mass.
Wynn. Ellery, Boston, Mass.
Home Watch Co., Boston, Mass.
All of these, with the exception of the Home
Watch Company, are warranted by the American
Watch Company to be the best material, on the
most approval principle, and TO possess every
requisite for q reliable time-keeper. Every deal
er selling these Watches is provided with the
Company's printed card of guarantee, which
should accompany each watch sold, so that buy
ers may feel sure that they are purchasing the
genuine article. There are numerous counter
fcits and limitations of our Watches sold through
out the country, and we would caution purcha-
sers to be on their guard against imposition.
Any grades of Waltham Watches may be pur-
chased of Watch Dealers throughout the country.
