The Japan Punch, prihed at Yokohama, Is
a queer and interesting ombnation Of Ameri-
can humor and Japanes art Its caricatures
and hits at current evos are done In the
irresistible style Of u native pencil and
printed ON the peculiar paper Of the country.

the Emperor of Brazil-and he Is spoken Of
as q liberal monarch-or however We may
condemn the dictatorial character Of Lopez,
the President of Paraguay, our sympathies are
with the heroic little republic which has with
stood the brunt of battle 80 well. The Para
guayans are fighting for republicanism in
South America against imperialism. Looking
back to the time when this war commenced,
and ell the circumstances connected with it.
We cannot help concluding that the Emperor
OF Brazil was acting in concert with Louis
Napoleon and the other monarchs Of Europe
to crush, a. far as possible, republican govern
ment on the continent of America. The effort
has failed In Mexico, and no doubt will fail in
South America. We hope, therefore, that the
news which we published yesterday relative to
the probable dissolution Of the alliance between
Brazil and the Argentine republic may prove
true, and that this useless and bloody war may
soon be ended.

The New Post Once and the New Herald
Building.

DuuuIuHs
Certain city politicians and foolish people
seem disposed to oppose everything the
HERALD recommends, and whatever they su D.
pose is likely to be Of advantage to us per-
sonally. If a proposition be ever so good In
itself for the public, and the HERALD advo-
Gates it. they are sure to be in opposition, and
think they annoy us exceedingly. Now, the
truth is, IL they did but know it, we fold our
arms with the greatest composure and smile
at these futile efforts to annoy or harm US
In fact, we find that these simpletons overreach
themselves, and that we are benefited by their
opposition. For example, we pointed out the
iniquity and illegality of the Mayor and City
Council selling the lower end Of the City Hall
Park to the federal government for Post Office
site. We did so for the public good, because
the Park belongs to the people and is one Of
the lungs Of the city, and because we con-
sidered the sale illegal and the amount paid
altogether insufficient. In these views we were
sustained by able lawyers and the public
But the Mayor and City Council were deter
mined to carry through their job. The sale
has been made and the deed given, and now
these spiteful and shortsighted schemen
chuckle over what they have done, thinking
they struck blow at the HERALD. Why, the
value Of the new HERALD building has been
much enhanced by the prospect Of having
the Post ONCE so near 1t. Since this
was known the applications for Offices
have been numerous, and had we not let
any Of them till now We could have OBJ
tanned . much higher rent The location Of
the Post ONCE at the lower end Of the Park
ID . positive advantage to MS, though we
opposed II being there on public grounds.
This is the way the city authorities and city
politicians damage and annoy US by their
opposition. II was the same with the proposal
To widen Ann street. Everybody knows that
no improvement in the city was more needed
or would have been more useful. A wide
thoroughfare for the teeming populations Of
Brooklyn and this city to pass from Fulton
ferry 10 Broadway was and ID most urgently
needed; Jet this was opposed BY the same
parties because the HERALD advocated It We
have not been injured by the action Of the city
authorities in this case, but the public has.
BY and by the people will see the meanness
and iniquity Of these proceedings and jobs

-
Among the acts passed BY the late Legisla-
ture, approved by the Governor, Is an act re-
iating to the Supreme Court in Chambers of
this city and county. This aot requires the
Governor to appoint one Of the Justices Of
said Court to conduct all it, business of an
er porte character. The Judge thus selected
will have the exclusive power to grant attach
ments or injunctions, or to set injunctions
aside in said Court the sole power Of the
Court to order the arrest Of parties, or the re-
lease of parties arrested the exclusive power
of appointment Of referees, receivers, trustees,
&C., including many matters upon which his
decisions will be final and conclusive. In short,
the Justice invested with the exclusive judi
cial powers contemplated in this act will, in
reference to Manhattan island, be second only
in the scope of his official authority to the
Governor of the State. The great object Of
this bill was the despatch of all this special
business, which has increased upon the
Supreme Court, lis increasing, and ought
to be diminished" We infer, too, from the
opposition which has broken out in certain
quarters against Judge Barnard, that he is the
man contemplated by the Legislature and by
the Governor for this important appointment,
and we are gratifed to believe that within
day or two this choice will be made.
As defender of the public interests Of this
metropolis against corrupt political rings,
cliques and jobs, there are many special rea-
sons why Governor Fenton should appoint
Judge Barnard for the distinction designated
As Chief Justice of the Supreme Court he was
the first Of our Judges to proclaim the co0stitu-
tionakty Of the Excise law; and in his injunc-
tions against the Fernando Wood lease, and q
certain gas contract involving saving Of ten
millions Of money to our gas consumers, and
against the bone boiling and cattle driving
nuisances, and in other things, he has risked
the hostility Of the controlling political
cliques, factions and rings of this city in
maintaining the rights and interests Of its
people. In this view he has lost caste
in Tammany, but he has gained largely in the
general esteem Of this community, regardless
of parties. Moreover, if the voice of the
lawyers and citizens having business depending
or likely to come before the Supreme Court in
Chambers were put to the vote upon this
appointment, we dare say that nine-tenths Of
them would be for Justice Barnard, because of
his experience and his remarkable qualities Of
clearness, impartiality and prompt decisions
qualities which have made him not more con-
spicuous in the despatch of this special busl-
ness Of the Supreme Court than he stands before
judgments. Lastly, as man of wealth, above
the small temptations Of rings, cliques or par
ties, and as q man Of an independent and fear
less character in the administration Of justice,
ambitious only, as he has proved himself Of a
solid reputation in his Office, Judge Barnard is
the man for this position, and Governor Fenton,
in his appointment, will assuredly be sustained
by the legal fraternity and the public opinion
Of New York city and county.

Recsnstructieu I'm South CaroIina-Thc Re-
markable Meeting as CoIumbia.
The recent meeting at the capital of South
Carolina, more extended account Of which
we publish this morning, is one Of the most
significant events Of the present day. Disfran-
chised whites and enfranchised blacks mingled
together and took counsel on the policy Of tho
future under the new order of affairs In the
Southern States As South Carolina was for
merly the foremost in secession and the bold
est advocate Of slavery, SO now she leads tho
van in reconstruction and is the first OF tho
rebel States to recognize the equal rights Of tho
freedmen. The politicians of South Carolina
were always shrewd, active men; and The
speeches of the whites at this remarkable meet
ing show that if the rebellion has stripped them
of everything else it has not deprived them Of
political energy and sagacity.
An assemblage of abolitionists in Boston,
presided over by Wendell Phillips, could not
have claimed more for or conceded more to
the colored man than did the representatives
of the South Carolina ehivalry, standing in
the capital of their State. 1t must have been
q singular sight to see such men an Wade
Hampton, De Saussure, Colonel Talley, E. }.
Arthur and others telling their emancipated
slaves that "they have the right of franchises"
that they are politically the equals Of the
whites;" Chat "the white man and the colored
man of the South have the same interest,
the same destiny;" that "the two races must
prosper or perish together;" that the whites
cherish mo hostility towards the colored man
on account of his altered circumstances and
exhorting the blacks, in the exercise of their
new rights and power, "to try those of tho
community whom they have known-those who
have the same interests"-and not to "experi-
ment on the sympathies of strangers" until
they find themselves deceived by their white
brethren of the South
1t is evident that the white citizens Of South
Carolina have resolved to accept the situation,
and by a prompt and mastery movement
towards immediate reconstruction under the
Sherman act to seize and hold control of the
negro vote before the republicans have time
to obtain commanding influence over tho
freedmen through the machinery to be ope-
rated by Secretary Stanton. If all the ex-
cluded States should adopt similar policy
and push forward the work of reconstruction
in the same spirit and with equal promptness
and vigor they might yet make themselves
masters Of the position and efectually over
throw all the plans Of the radicals. By such
movement the whole South could be brought
back into the Union before the next PresidUn-
tial election, and the disfranchised whites
would have a. complete political control over
their several States as if the ballots remained
in their own hands and the shackles were stin
on the arms Of their former slaves.

AMERICAN
WALTHAM WATCHES.

We claim and are prepared to prove that the
American Watches manufactured Ut Waltham,
Massachusetts, are not only equal, but far supe-
rior, to the watches of England, switzerland and
France. We also, claim that they are
ORE ACCURATE, MORE DURABLE, and
more easily kept in order and repaired than any
other watches in the market.
Because in each one of the very numerous parts
of which "A watch is made up, we attain, by me-
chanical power, nearly dSsOlutem mathematical pre-
cision and uniformity, making every watch Of any
one style II true copy Of its model.
This similarity in structure reduces The cost OF
production; it secures uniformity in results; it
perpetuates aud tnraHi5ly diruses any excellence
that may be once achieved, and makes it easy to
repair any injury sustained, or replace any part
that may be lost or destroyed.
In addition to these mechanical advantages, our
Watches are simpler in STRUCTURE, and therefore
stronger, and less likely to bs injured than foreign
watches.
How they run under the hardest trial watches
can have, is shown by the following letters:
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD COMPANY.
OFFICE OF THE GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT,
ALTOONA, PA. 18th December 1866. !
Gentlemen: The watches manufactured by yOt
have been in use on this railroad for several year,
by our enginemen, to whom we furnish watche'
AS part of our equipment. There are now som'
three hundred OF them carried on our line, an'
we consider them good and reliable time keepers
Indeed, | have great satisfaction in saying you
watches give us less trouble, and have worn AM
do wear much longer without repairs than an.
watches we have ever had in use ON this road, \
you are aware, we formerly trusted TO those o
English manufacture, OF acknowledged good rep
~utation, but rs u class they never %kepttime as cor
rectly, nor have they done as good service, Il
yours.
/, In these statements | am sustained by my pre-
decessOr, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience eNtende
