LOCOMOTIVE DEPARTMENT, WESTERN DIVISION,
ROCHESTER,, Dec. "a, 1866. !
GENTLEMEN / have no hesitation in saying
that believe the great majority of locomotive en-
gineers have found by experience that WALTHAM
WATCHES ARE THE MOST SATISFACTORY of any
for their uses. They run WITH THE GREArss1
ACCURACY AND srEApHEsS, notwithstanding the
rough riding of an engine, and, as have NEVER
KNOWN ONE TO WEAR OUT, they must be durable.
hope to see the time when railway companies
viii generally adopt your watches, and furnish
them to all engineers and conductors. In my opin-
ion it would greatly tend to promote regularity
and safety. Yours respectfully,
CHARLES WILSON, G. Chief Engineer,
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.

The st. Louis Street Foundry, ETC., Geo. Gro
nan, Claimant, Appellant, VS.. the United States
Appeal from the Circuit Court of the United
States for the Eastern District of Louisiana.
Mr.. Chief Justice Chase delivered the opinion Of
the court.
This case is not distinguishable In principle
from those Just decided. 1t appears from the re-
cord that Cronan, in the Circuit Court, pleaded
the amnesty proclaimed By President Lincoln on
the sth December, 1868, and the oath taken by
himself in pursuance OF the proclamation. In this
plea there was no sverment that CrOnan was not
within any of the exceptions made by the procia-
nation, and it was, therefore, properly oyerrued-
Upon proper pleading and proof. however, the
claimant of properly seized under the act Of Au-
gust 9Th, 1861, b entitled TO the benefit Of sm.
nesty to the same extent as under like pleading
and proof he would be entitled to the benefit OF
pardon.
The decree of the Circuit Court must be re-
yersed as irregular, and the cause remanded with
DIRECTIONS TO allow new trial, the proceedings in
which shall be conformed, in respect to trial by
fury and exceptions TO evidence, TO the course Of
The common law.

A letter in the Liberty, Texas, Gazette, from

the ground has been frequently and recently
