A GooD APPoINrMESr.-The telegraph brings
the intelligence that Philip Ritz, of Walla Wala,
has been appointed and confirmed as U. S. Mar-
sba for Washington Territory Politically we
have not the slightest sympathy with Mr.. R., but
as a man and a citizen we esteem him, and only
regret that the Office is not in some degree com
uensurate with his merit

New GooDs.-Adams Bros have received
their new stock of spring and summer goods
the most perfect assortment of the kind ever
brought to the city. Their stock of ladies' goods

SOLD AINl-The army never swore worse 10
Flanders than Anderson Cox did when be heard
that Flanders had thrown off on him. The old
"pg driver" had set his heart on the Cover
norship, and just at the moment he deemed the
place secure it eluded his grasp. We have only
one thing to dread in this matter, and that is
disgusted with radical ingratitude, the old fellow
may attempt to bring his "pig sty" over to the
democracy. From such inhction, Good Lord

Political PILGRMs.-Dr. D. S. Baker left us
by Thursdays stage, on his way to attend the
radical convention, where be proposes to play
the role of compromise candidate It's generally
thought that the Dr.'s signature to the "secret
circular " destroyed whatever chances be may
have had to secure the nomination. This GER
tainly was a gross blunder, but the DR.. has the
means of repairing little mistakes of that kind
Like Philip he carries with him golden key
and like the old warrior be is equally unscrupu
lOus in its use. At the sight of Philips gold the
gates of hostile cities opened wide to receive
him. So, too, at the sight of BakeF's $40 pieces
it is expected that new light will dawn upon the
members of the radical convention under the
inspiration of which they will rally around his

The extensive use of these watches for the last
fifteen years BY Railway Conductors, Engineers.
and Expressmen, the most exactinR If vatcbs
wearers, has thorougly demonstrated the strength
steadiness, durability and accuracy Of the Wal.
than Watch. To satisfy that class 10 all these
respects, is TO decide the question as TO the real
value ofthese time. keepers.
More than 400, 600 Of these watches are now
speaking for themselves 10 the pockets Of the
people, proof and a guarantee Of their superb
ority over altotbers.
The superior Organization and great extent Of
the Companys Works at Waltbam, enable them
10 produce watches at price which renders
competition futile, and those who buy any other
watch, merely pay from Is to so per cent. more
for thr'r watches than is necessary.
We are now selling Waltham Watches at less
prices in greeubacks than the gold prices before
the war There is no other manufacture of any
kind in the United States of which this can be
said.
These time e-pieces combine every improvement
that long experience has proved of real practi.
cal use. Having had the refusal of nearly every
Invention in matchmaking originating 10 this
country, or in Europe, only those were finally
sdopted which severe testing by the most skill
iul artisans In our works, and long use on the
part Of the public, demonstrated to be ESSENTIAL
to correct and enduring time-keeping.
Among the many improvements we would
particularize:
The invention and use of a centre, piuion of
peculiar construction, to prevent damage to the
train by the breakage Of main springs, is origi>
nal with the American Watch Company, who.
having bad the refusal Of all other contrivances,
adopted Fogg's Patent pinion as being the best
and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair,springs, now uni,
versally admitted by Watchmakers to be the
best, are used in all grades Of Waltaam Watches
All Waltham Watches have dust>proof caps
protecting the movement from dust, and lessen>
ing the necessity Of the frequent cleaning neces-
sary in other watches.
Our new patent stem-wnder, or keyless watch,
is alreadya decided success and a great improve
ment on any stem'wiuding watch in the Ameri.
can market, aud by far the cheapest watch of its
quality now offered 10 the public.
To CALIFORNIANS and other living in por-
tious Of the United States where watch makers
do not abound, watches with the above mention.
ed improvements which tend to insure accuracy,
cleanliness, durability and convenience must
prove Invaluable.
Every watch bearing the trade mark of Wall
than is guaranteed to be thoroughly reliable
timekeeper.
To preveut imposition, buyers should invari-
ably demand certificate of genuineness.
The trade supplied by Messrs. R. B. Gray L
Co., San Francisco, CAL, and generally for sale
al retail by all respectable dealers.

MINING ITEMs.-Pioueer City, in which
locality the first discovery of gold in Montana
was made, is undoubtedly the liveliest min
ing camp in Deer Lodge county. The sppli-
cation of hydraulics to ground heretofore con-
sidered poor diggings, has opened up gold
mines of fabulous ricnness.-200 men will
probably be engaged this summer in the
Boulder diggings. They consist OF series
of bars lying at the foot of the ridge between
the Big and Little Boulder, being just to the
right of the Virginia stage road. Half a
mile from the ranch of Wm. Berkin. Esq,
back on an elevated plateau, is beautiful
lakelet, many acIes in extent, which never
becomes dry. Being on the line of the
ditch, advantage is taken OF it for reservoir.
We are pleased with the idea, as the result
will be to draw from this charming little lake
the salt and alkali which have accumulated
in it, rendering its water as pure and fresh
as the spring fed currents on either side of
it. Mining operations will soon commence

Morton offered an additional section, that
before the States are admitted to representa-
ton in Congress, their legislatures must

Conkling, Thurman aud others, opposed
Morton's amendment, which was finally ad
opted-30 to 20 Several amendments,
designed to correct ambiguity, were agreed
to. The S6th section authorizing the CON-
manding General to suspend until the action
OF the Legislature all laws he deems unjust
aud oppressive, was stricken out aud Sec
tion added declaring that the proceedings of
any Of said States shall not be deemed innl
until approved BY Congress. Alter protests
BY Casserly, Stockton, and other democratic
Senators, the bill passed-44 to 9. The
following voted in the negative Casserly,
