GENTLEMEN have no hesitation in saving that
oeieve the great majority of locomotive engineers
have found by experience that WALrHAx WATCHES
ARE THE MOST SATISFACTORY of any for their uses.
They run WITH THE GREATEST ACCURACY AsD
srEADINEss, notwithstanding tie rough riding of
an engine, and, as have NEVER KNOWN ONE TO
WEAR OUT, they must be durable. l hope to see
the time when railway companies will gchctaIy
adopt your watches, and furnish them to all eng-
neers and conductors. In my opinion It would
greatly tend to promote regularity and safety.

ANToNA, PA, Dec. Is, 1867.
GENTLEMEN: The watches manufactured by you
have been in use ON this railroad for several years
by our enginemen to whom we furnish watches as
part of our equipment. There are now some
THREE HUNDRED OF THEM CARRIED ON OUR LINE,
and we consider them GOOD AND RELIABLE
TIMEKEEPERS. Indeed, have great satisfac-
ton 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 this road. As you are aware we
formerly trusted to those of English manufacture,
of acknowledged good reputation but as a class
they never kept time correctly, nor have they
done as good service yours.
In these statements 1 am sustained by my preae.
cessor, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extends over
a series of years.
Respectfully,

NEW PRESIDENTIAL MovsMESr-Chdse Pro
posed as 1ie Democratic Conservative Candidate.
A Washington dispatch to the Baltimore Gazette
says:
A new movement among our political managers
is being developed. intended to bring forward
Chief Justice Chase as the conservative candidate
for the presidency. These managers contend that
Judge Chase was originally Democrat of the
strictest school. and seeded from the party on
the abolition Issue; but as that Is no longer
in existence, he now occupies fair position to
be made available in the next presidential contest
Such is the talk among those who in great meas
ure run the party machinery, and very decided
feeling il being created In favor Of Judge Chase
as the nominee Of the Democratic party. In the
meantime the radicals are not backward In ex-
pressing their distrust Of him as the presiding
officer in the court of impeachment, and their
fears are that he will yet spoil their game, and
allow the president TO escape.
