Especial TO the Cincinnati Enquirer
WASHINGTON, February 26.--The Went
worth Smelling Committee, after five days
labor and travail brought forth to-day a
ridiculous report which is also remarkable
for its failure to give correct statement of
the facts In proof before the Committee. It
is not true asset forth IN the Committees
report that "about the time the Southern
Governors were here" two persons mean
ing Messrs, Warden and Este, not members
of Congress, were upon the floor, &c. This
part of the report is about as near the truth
as MIR; Wentworth has approached 1t
throughout his statement. u
The fact is that the "Southern Governors''
had dispersed and gone to their several
homes ten days to two weeks before any
action was suggested or taken by two per-
sons" or members Of Congress, who consid-
cred the proposition of bringing about an
agreement between the President and Con-
gress and the proof know. shows in most
unqualified terms that the ''Southern Gov
ernors" had nothing whatever to do with
the proposition in question that they knew
absolutely nothing at all about it. and that
Mr.. Warden one of the "two persons" who
brought about the conference between the
President and members Of Congress, was
not personally acquainted with any of the
southern Governors" who recently got up
a plan of reconstruction.
am in possession of substantially, all
testimony taken by the Committee, and /
make one much stronger case in favor OF
parties engaged In efforts to bring about a
settlement of the reconstruction question,
than Mr.. Wentworth has condescended to
admit, Notwithstanding he has reluctantly
eXhonorated them from blame. In truth it
would seem as though to save himself from
censure and ridicule, Mr.. Wentworth had
struggled to avoid real facts proven before
the Committee. The main features of these
proofs are found in the testimony of w. w.
Warden, Esq, and General Este. They are
sufficiently set forth In my previous dis
patches.
The sole object of "two persons" in
bringing about consultation between the
President and members of Congress- was to
induce a better feeling and understanding
between the Legislative and Executive
branches of the Government, and to get
them to agree to adopt and cooperate upon
plan of reconstruction, which should be
deemed finally viz the proposed COnsti-
tutiOnal Amendment of Congress and Ne
gro Suffrage, In some form or other. No
other subject was ever alluded TO by any of
the parties.
The President, members OF Congress, and
two persons" all the parties engaged in
this effort. feel that they are amply re-
warded in its results; for while the entire
purpose has not been Gonsummated up TO
this moment, much Of lasting benefit
has been accomplished incidently, as is
well known TO those cppversant with all
the facts.

AMERICAN
WALTHAM WATCHES

We claim and are prepared to prove that th
American watches manufactured at waithain
Massachusetts, are not only equal. but far supe
rior, 70 the watches of England Switzerland an,
France we also, claim that they are CHEAPER
MORE ACCURATE, MORE DURABLE, ant
more easily kept in order and repaired than any
other watches in the market.
Because in each one of tho very numerous part
of which watch Is, made up, we attain, by me
chanical power nearly a6sotats mathematlcal pre-
cison and uniformity, making every watch of any
one style true copy of its model.
This similarity in structure reduces the cost OF
production It secures uniformity in results, II
perpetuates and 'ataHi6tv dinuses any exoellenc,
that may be once achieved, and makes It easy tc
repair any injury sustained or replace any part
that may be lost or destroyed. .a.
In addition to these mechanical advantages, ouI
Watches are simpler in structure, and therefore
stronger and less likely to be injured than foreign
watches. ..... ...."
How they run under the hardest trial watches
can have, is shown by the following letters.

we consider them good and reliable time keepers.
Indeed, have great satisfaction in saying your
watches give us less trouble, and have worn and
do wear much longer without repairs than any
watches we have ever had In use on this road AS
you are aware, we formerly trusted to those of
