COMPENSATION FOR SLAVES.

outstanding the prohibition contain
ed in the fourth section of the constitutional
amendment, article 4, now adopted by
more than three -fourths of the adhering
States, the Maryland Convention, assembled
at Annapolis, has followed up the action of
the late Legislature by reporting constitu-
tional provisions looking to the ultimate
payment for slaves by the United States
government. Said section of the amend
melt contains this clause: HBut neither
the United States nor any State shall pay
any debt or obligation incurred in aid of
instruction or rebellion against the United
States, or any claim for the loss or emanci-
patton of any; but sill such debts, obliga-
tions, and claims shall be held illegal and
void"
The late Legislature of Maryland APP
pointed by law in every county and city of
the State to perpetuate the titles to slave
property. The first attempt to recover
value for them will be from the United
States, and for this purpose the following
clauses are reported by the committee on
legislative proceedings in the convention,
viz:
SEC. 81. The General Assembly shall pass no
law nor make any appropriation to compensate
the masters or claimants Of slaves heretofore
emancipated from seYyitude, but may distribute
any appropriation made by the United States for
that purpose.
SEC. AZ. The General Assembly shall have
power to receive from the United States any
grants or donations of land, money, or securities
for any purpose designated by the United States,
and shall administer or distribute the same ac.
cording to the conditions of said grant
When we have hitherto declared that re-
bells entertained the purpose expressed in
the foregoing clauses of the new constitu-
ton of Maryland we have been met with de-
mails and denounced as villifers of an inno-
cent and much-abused people The rebel
and copperhead press will pass by these de-
clarations without comment, as they will
everything else done by this convention. so
many of whose members were imprisoned
during the war as traitors. Yet these pro-
visions will go into the organic law of the
State, and be made the basis of legislative
enactment, not mere party action. as would
be the case with similar declarations by a
party convention as part of its PLATFORM
The mere agitation of this question is fraught
with great danger to the finances of the
country, and in the present unsettled rela-
ton OF the rebel States toward the Federal
government it becomes matter of great
Importance to guard against the general
adoption OF such views. With foresight
equal to their hardihoqd in thrusting for
ward these issues at this time, the gentlemen
provide for taking either money!" securi-
ties" or grants of lands'' for their slaves.
Our Western friends are equally interested
with our bondholders in preventing this
contemplated raid upon the treasures or DOS
sessions of the Republic, and all will see
whan an enormous corruption fund will be
created by it, and the consequent demnrali-
cation of the body-politie. Wash. Chronicle.

REGISTRATION OF FREEDMEN.

The following circular has been issued by
General Brown to the subaltern officers of
the Freedmen's Bureau. The General con-
siders it very important that the freedmen
should be registered and should vote. and
is faithfully discharging his duty in securing
to them as far as he can the rights conferred
upon them by law.

Circular Letter.
1t is reported that many of the freedmen
of the State will fail to register under the
military bill through the agency of persons
hostile to their exercising the rights of
suffrage.
The act to continue in force and to amend
ian act to establish a bureau for the relief
of freedmen and refugees requires the Of
fcers of the Bureau to aid the freedmen I" in
making the freedmen conferred upon them
available to themselves and beneficial to the
Republic"
1t is, therefore, clearly your duty to coun-
teract, as far as possible, the influence of
persons inimical to the freedmen registering
or voting, and to advise and instruct them
in regard to their rights under the above
named bill, and the great importance of
their exercising these rights. By availing
yourselves of the various meetings of the
freedmen, and other means at your command
oil spreading information among them, not
one in the State need be uniformed in re-
gard to his right and duty in the matter
If any freedmen fail to register through
Ignorance, the Bureau officer in charge of
the sub-dlstrict or division where such fail
ure occurs will be considered derelict in the
performance of his duty.
The opinion expressed in this letter in re-
gard to the duties of Bureau officers is in
accordance with that held by Major General
Schofeid, commanding this district.

Registers of Voters in this State.

1t is understood that Gov. Worth has been
requested by Gen. Sickles to send him names
of persons to act as Registers in this State.
We know the fact that Gov. Worth has call
ed to his aid in this matter, III various parts
of the S tate, persons deeply disatfected to
the government. These persons report to
Gov. Worth, and he reports to Gen. Sickles.
But our object was to inquire of Gov.
Worth if he has recommended to Gen.
Sckics any colored men to act as Registers.
The understanding seems to be that there
are to be two white persons and one colored
person On each Board of Registration. Has
Gov. Worth recommended any eolored per-
sons to be appointed Registers Will his
organ, the Sentinel, answers
The efforts ofthe enemies of the Union in this

and against Convention. Should Con-
vention be called, they will endeayor so to
shape the Const tuition as to ensure its re-
lection by the people. they feel the neees-
sity Of having their full strength as voters
enrolled. Hence the appeals of the Sentinel
TO its rebel friends to register. That paper
is constantly making these appeals. It is
doubtless moved thereto by Gov. Graham,
Gov. Vance, and Gov. Worth. Will that
paper deny this? Will it inform the people,
if the fact be so, that Gov. Graham desires
the return of the State under the Sherman
act, and that he is in favor of full registra-
ton of voters with no other REV than to re-
store the State on a loyal basis?
For our part, we are for returning to the
Union in good faith under the Sherman act.
There is no safety, and there can be no pros
peritY out of the Union. We warned the
people in 1850 against disunion. AS soon

basis Of reconstruction. We labored zealously
in 1855 to induce the people to carry out in
good faith the Presidents plan. We urged
them in 1866 to accept the Howard amend
ment, and GO back under that, as Tennessee
did. And we now urge them in the most
earnest terms to accept the Sherman act in
good faith, and go back under that. We
say too, let the people register, but let them
do it with loyal spirit and for the good
and noble purpose of bringing peace to the
country by prompt restoration of the I'm
ion. Let no man register with the view of
embarrassing Or obstructing the return of
the State, but letit be done with the sincere
and honest purpose to give effect to the lib
eral policy of the Congress as embodied in
the Sherman act.

A CARD FROM THE
AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY
WALTHAM, MASS.

This Company beg leave to inform the public
that they commenced operations in 1850, and their
factory now covers four acres of ground, and has
cost more than million dollars, and employs
over 700 operatives. They produce rs, 900 Watches
year, and make and sell not less than half of all
the watches sold in the United States.
The difference between their manufacture and
the European, is briefly this: European Watches
are made almost entirely By hand. and the result
is of necessity lack of that uniformity, which is
indispensable to correct time-keeping. Both the
eye and the hand of the most skillful operative
must vary. But it is fact that, except the
watches Of the higher grades, European watches
are the product of the cheapest labor of Switzer-
land, and the result is the worthless Ancres, Le-
pines and so-called Patent Levers-which soon
cost more in attempted repairs, than their orig
inal price. Common workmen, boys and women,
buy the rough separate parts OF these watches
from various factories, polish and put them to-
gether, and take them to the nearest watch mer-
chant, who stamps and engraves them with any
name or brand that may be ordered.
HOW AMERICAN WATCHES ARE MADE.
The American Waltham Watch is made by no
such uncertain process-and by no such incom-
petent workmen. All the Company's operations,
from the reception of the raw materials to the
completion Of the Watch, are carried on under
one roof, and under one skilltul and competent
direction. But the great distinguishing feature
of their Watches, is the fact that their several
parts are all made by the finest the most perfect
and delicate machinery ever brought to the aid of
human industry. Every one of the more than a
hundred parts of every watch is made by ma
chine-that infalliblJ reproduces every succeed
ing part with the most unvarying accuracy. It
was only necessary to make one perfect watch of
any particular style and then to adjust the hun
dred machines necessary to reproduce every part
ofthat watch, and it follows that every succeeding
watch must be like it.
The Company respectfully submit their watches
on their merits, only They claim to make
BETTER ARTICLEF or THE HONEY
by their improved mechanical processes than can
be made under the old-fashioned handicraft sys-
TEN. eThey manufacture watches of every grade,
from good, low priced, and substantial article,
in solid silver hunting cases, to the finest chrome
meter; and also ladies' watches in plain gold or
the finest enameled and jeweled cases; but the
indispensable requisite of all their watches is that
they shall be GOOD TIMEKEEPERS 1t should
be remembered that, except their single lowest
grade named Home Watch Company, Boston, VI
ALL WATCHES made by them
ARE FULLY WARRANTED
by special certificate, and this warrantee is good
at all times against the Company or its agents.

THE WIFE,s ADIEu.

Come near me, let me lay my nsnd
Once more upon thy brow,
And let me whisper in thine ear
Loves last and fondest VOW.
The lips that breathe these trembling words
Will soon be cold in death,
And thy dear cheek can feel no more
Their warm and loving breath.
1 go from thee; God only knows
How | have longed to stay
How have shuddered thus to tread
The lone and Swallowed way.
Faith tells me that soon may know
The joys the blessed find,
And yet falter when l cast
A lingering look behind.
I see thee bowed before me here,
In bitterness and tears,
But can leave thee something still
To light thy weary years.
Young, tender forms will ling to thee
Perhaps will miss my tone,
And though they may not share thy grief,
Thou wilt not feel alone.
Fold them still closer to thy breast,
And soothe their childish woe,
And cheer the many lonely hours
The motherless must know.
The world with all its hopes and joys,
Will sometimes make thee glad,
But they must linger round hearth
All desolate and sad.
And o! when time shall calm thy grief,
Perchance the hour may come.
When thou wilt win another form
To share thy heart and home,
When thou wilt welcome to thy board
A Younger, fairer face, =
And bid thy children smile on her
Who takes their mothers place.
But think not, as speak to thee,
| That I would frown or blame,
| Though they should love the stranger one,
And call her by my name;
For they will speak to thee of me,
NV memory is their trust,
| A word, smile, look like mine,
Will call me from the dust. Q
Yet make my grave no place of tears,
| But let the dear ones bring,
| To cheer their mothers lonely home,
The blossoms of the spring.
! And even there thou too, may'st kneel,
| And softly press the earth
! That covers her whose lace once gave,
A brightness to the hearth.
Then will the forms of early years
Steal softly to thy side,
And for an hour thou canst forget
Thou hast another bride.
She may be all thy heart can ask,
So dear, so true to thee,
But o. the spring time OF thy love,
Its freshness was for me.
Nav she be blest who comforts thee,
And with gentle hand,
Still guide the little trembling ones
Who make our household band.
She cannot know the tenderness
That fills their mothers breast,
But she can love them for thy sake
And make them more than blest.
Yet keep one place, one little place,
From all the rest apart,
One spot which will call "a home"
Within thy faithful heart;
And in the holy hour of dreams,
When spirits fill the air,
With tender eye and folded wing
I'll softly rest me there.
May Gol forgive this erring love
That is to mortals given,
1t almost woos my spirit back
From happiness and heaven.
| And vet feel it will not die
When this frail life is DER,
But watch till all my loved ones come
Where we shall part no more.

doomed to encounter.
TO-DAY
it stands at the head of all the tonic and Alternative
preparations In existence. Its celebrity has
evoked many limitations bnt NOT RIVALS. Physi-
clans pronounce it the ONLY SAFE sTIMULANT
that has ever been introduced into the sick cham
Der. In the Hospitals of the Army and Navy, the
surgeons find it the very best tonic for GONZALES
cents, and report it as invaluable for sustaining
the vigor of troops on the march, as remedy for
scurvy and all scorbntic affections, and as the
only specific for sea-sickness. California and
Australia have emphatically endorsed it as the
MINERS MEDICINE par excellence, and in Spanish
America and all the tropical climates, it is con-
sidered the only reliable antidote to epidemic
fever.
There is no mystery about the causes of its
success. It is the only stomachic and Alternative
in which are combined the grand requisites Of
mild, pure, and unvitiated vegetable stimulant,
with the finest selection of tonic, anti bilious,
anti-scorbutic, aperient, and dupurative herbs,
plants, roots, and barks that have ever been in
termixed in medicinal preparation.
1t is also proper to state that the Bitters are
sold exclusively in glass, and never, under any
circumstances, by the gallon or the barrel. I'M
posters and imitators are abroad, and the only
safeguard the public has against them is to see
that the Bitters they buy bear the engraved label
