"This country has reason to be proud of this
splendid specimen of American operat i've genius
and enterprise. That it will work revolution in
the Watch manufacturing of the world no one can
doubt who examines the operations of the Walt
ham establishme mt, for it turns out Watch move
ments at just about one-half the cost of imported
moveme nts-besde the uniform reliability of the
machine-made Watches must give them o great
advantage over all others wherever known. A poor
time-piece Of the machine make will be as rare in
the future as q good one of hand make has been
heretofore, for machinery is arbitrary in its per-
formsnce. and can make perfest article Just as
as one thst is worthless. 1t will be cause Of
congratulation if this highly useful American en-
terpriss shall have the effect Of driving out of mar
ket the thousands Of trashy foreign articles mis-
called timekeepers, by furnishing SO excellent and
economical ssubstitute."-N. p. Times.

ing them with former frst-class works of different

World.
I'VE notice with rearet (writing of the Paris
Exposition) the absence of specimens of American
manufacture, which. slthou gh only comparatively
of recent birth among us, is already producing
suits of the most satisfactory character. The
Watches manufactured by the Wal than Company
certainly, far as strength, durability and

anything produced by the French or Swiss manu-
factures."-N. Y Herald.

Murder of ,JohnP. Slough.

The news from Omaha is to the effect
that Gen. JOHN P. SLOUGH was murdered
in Santa Fe on the 18th inst. A letter re-
ceived in Cincinnati contains the following
PARTICULARS:
"Judge Slough died this morning at six
o'clock. He was, without any blame on his
part, shot down by man named Rynerson,
formerly q sergeant in the California volun-
teers, and now Senator in the Legislature
here. Ii. II. Heath, the Secretary OF the Ter
ritOry, was the real cause and inStigator OF
the act, for the Judge and Rynerson did not
know each other three weeks ago. The
Judge had denounced Heath for an insult
put on him as Chief Justice and Heath not
having the manhood to come forward and
| fight his. own battles, procured Rynerson
to introduce into the Senate set of reso-
lutions against the Judge. The Judge then
denounced Rynerson. very justly and ma
turally, to his face. RynersOn did not re-
sent it then, but came next day with pis-
| tol and shot the Judge"
| Att time of his death, the deceased held
the appointment of Chief Justice OF the
Territory of New Mexico. He was native
of Cincinnati and in 1856 was member OF
the Ohio Legislature, and as such. was
known to our citizens. Insulted by men,
Der from Ashtabula county, who professed
to be noncombatant, but whose peace pro-
fessions did not prevent him from insult
ing gentleman. Mr.. SLOUGH slapped him
on the check. For this act he was expelled
by the Radical majority.
During the war the deceased held COM
mission as General and did some hard
fighting on the Plains. He was then trans
ferred to Alexandria, Va, of which city he
was Military Governor. He was man OF
ardent temperament, and like all such, had
many excellent traits of character.
The feeling in Santa Fe against the MUIR
derer was so intense that the Sheriff had
to summon posse to protect the murderer
from the vengeance of the people.

Just the Issue.

The Neu York Times says that 'the real
issue before the country to-day is between
Radicalism and Observation-Disclosures
tween policy which recognizes and ac-
cepts the Constitution as the paramount
rule of action, and one which virtually
discards it as inadequate to the emer-
gency, and accepts the abstract doctrines
and sentiments ascribed to the Declaration
of Independence in its stead" -5t|
That is just the issue. The Democratic
party is devoted to Constitutionalism,
while the Republican party is committed
to Radicalism. Instead of administering
the Government in compliance with the
Constitution, the Republican party has ad-
ministered it in accordance with "the alb
stract doctrines and sentiments ascribed to
the Declaration OF Independence" What
is the result? The Negroes are free and
in a starving condition. Depression OF
trade and industry prevails throughout
the North and Poverty and Bankruptcy
and Starvation In the South. So terrible is
the condition of affairs in General
ORD's District that he has felt il
to be his duty to issue an order that con-
templates the putting to work OF every
Negro able to work. For over two year.
the Federal Government has kept Negro
boarding and clothing houses, the expense:
of which were paid out of the taxes wruns
from the labor of the North, East and West
and hence the Negroes have no inclination
to work. Refusing to work voluntarily
compulsion seems now about to be tried
Things were never SO greatly out of join
when the Government was administered
according to the spirit and letter of th'
Constitution as they are now while admin
istered according to the ascribed doctrines
and sentiments of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, which the Republican Politician
have claimed would give us perfection il
Government. The people will very likely
soon fall back on the Constitution and Civ,
their support to the party that will upholt
that instrument. The Destructives mus

1t is respectfully suggested that, as far
as it may be practicable and convenient,
the delegates be chosen on Saturday the
2Sth inst. 1t is likewise recommeded that
the Delegates of each Congressional Dis
trict in attendance on the Convention elect
two Delegates to the National Convention
and appoint one Presidential Elector.
Fellow Democrats, you have this year
achieved great victories. But the work is
not complete. The country is yet unre-
deemed from tyranny and misrule. Let us
then press forward in the great work of re-
demption. Let us lose not one moment
Let us spare no eXertion-and this time
next year will find us rejoicing over our
struction.

Alas, Poor Stanton.

Information from Washington is to the
effect, that the Presidents expose of Secre
tary Stanton's duplicity has arrayed against
him the few Senators that were disposed
to stand up for him, and that he has fallen
so low in public estimation that he has not
now friend on earth. A few months ago his
praise was on the tongue of every Radi-
cal in the land, and now there is none to do
him reverence. Thus righteously, one af-
ter another, do the architects of the coun-
try's ruin find their true position in public
opinion.

Three Millions in n Starving Con.
ditiOn.

Three millions in a starving condition in
the once happy and prosperous United
States before the Republican party came
into power. That is dreadful to think Of,
and seems incredible, and yet a Washington
special to the Ne,o York Herald says that
an estimate compiled from the statistics
collected by the Governors of Southern
States places the number of Whites and
Blacks in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama,
Georgia and the Carolinas who are in a
starving condition, at three millions.

employed and destitute in all our great
cities are more numerous now than they
have been in any month of December for
thirty years." And what is worse, there
is general apprehension that they will be
worse yet. This comes of the Negro legis-

replied that they a prepared for de

given them in such a manner that the re-

pose a construction ON the law which

may expect something definite from a

repeal or modification of the present reg
ulations as may appear proper TO Inc
powers charged with the execution OF the
law. As we are to expect an extension
of registry until September next, and as
we may hope prompt action by the Exec

THE i" OPINION OF THE ArroRNEY."-The
article under this head in the next col
umn, we take bodily from the New Or.
leans Bulletin. of the 2sth uIt. It is the
best exposition of tbs subject we have
yet seen in print, and as all the main
points of Mr.. stansberry's opinion are
touched upon, we refer it to the consid.
GRAFTON of our readers. In our opinion.
the Attorney General should have come
directly to the point, telling distinctly
who were d~isfranchised and who were not,
without shrouding bis meaning in such a
mass Of words. 1t is far from what was
expected. It will require a special revel.
alton to explain bis "opinion.' If the
promised supplemental opinion is no
clearer than the first, we will will still
founder in the "sea Of doubts W.
wait with patience.
