The devlopements about Gen Grant
instructing the United States navy to pro-
tect the Government of Beaz against the
Haytines, is most unpleasantly sugges
tive of Frank Blair's prediction that
Grant would yet endeavor to establish a
military dictatorship. The autocrat Ma
poleou did not declare war on Prussia
until his Minister Grammons had seeur-
ed an overwhelming vote of the Corps
Legislatif. But in this Hayti business
we see our present Executive taking in
to his own hands the question of peace
and war, in open violation of our Con
stitution and of treaties, without consult
ing the people or their representatives in
Congress, and without PERMITTING the
country even to know the fact
Unless this high handed usurpation
more daring than any living monarch Of
Europe would hazard, receives a sigma
rebuke from the Senate, we may well
conclude that Gen. Grant does indeed
carry that once august body in his breech
es pocket And should not Congress in.

The extensive use of these watches for
the last fifteen years by Railway Conduc-
tors. Engineers and Expressmens the most
exacting of watch-wearers, has thoroughly
demonstrated the strength, st-adiness, du-
rability and accuracy of the Waltham
Watch. To satisfy that class in all these
respects, is 10 decide the question as to the
real value of these time-keepers.
More than 500,0 900 of these watches are
now speaking for themselves in the pockets
of the people-a proof and guarantee of
their superiority over all others
The superior organization and great ex-
tent of the Company's Works at Walthafn,
enables them TO produce watches at price
which renders competition futile, and those
who buy any other watch merely pay from
25 to 80 per cent. more for their watches
than is necessary.
These time-pieces combine every improve
ment that long experience has proved of
real practical use Having had the refusal
of nearly every invention in watch maxim g
originating in this country or in Europe,
only those were finally adopted which severe
testing by the most skilfull artisans in our
works, and long use on the part of the pab-
lie, demonstrated TO be essential to correct
and enduring time keeping.
Among the many improvements we would
particuiarize
The invention and use of centre-pinion
of peculiar construction, to prevent damage
to the train by the breakage of main
springs, Is original with the American
Watch Company, who, having had the re.
fusal of all other contrivances, adopted
Fogg's patent piIiion as being the best and
faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair-springs, new
universally admitted by Watchmakers to be
the best, are used in all grades of Waltham
Watches.
"A
caps, protecting the movement from dust,
and lessening the necessity of the frequent
cleaning necessary in other watches.
Our new patent stem -winder. or keyless
watch is already a decided success, and a
great improvement on any stem-winding
watch in the American market, and by far
the cheapest watch of its quality now offer
ed to the public. To those living in por-
tions of the United States where watch
makes do not abound, watches with the above
mentioned improvements which tend TO
ensure accuracy, cleanliness, durability and
convenience, must prove invaluable.

G. L. RANDLE's RESIDENCE DE
srRoYEp BIZ FrRE-The fine new resi-
dence of Capt C L. Randle, Common
~ealth's Attorney, was totally destroyed
BIZ fire. on "Wednesday last. We under
stand the fire originated from defective
aue in the kitchen. and had mado such
progress before discovery that nothing
could be done to arrest its ravages- The
building destroyed cost probably $4,000
and was insured for $4,000. Last year
Capt. Randle had the misfortune to have
his house burned. which was on the same
spot, aud the workmen were just finish
ing the new buildings, which are now
destroyed. In. this repeated misfortune
Capt. Randle aud family have universal
sympathy. 1t would seem that these
great misfortunes make special mark OF
the good and true, and that Affections
bear heaviest upon those a community
would most kindly shield. Our citizens,
men and women, worked faithfully to
arrest the flames, and to save furniture,
etc.. bat to no use so far as extinguish-
ing the 6re, but we are glad to say, that
perhaps all the household furniture,
though 10 greatly damaged condition

Every day demonstrates more clearly that
liver complaint, in all its distressing forms,
can be controlled and cured without difficult
ty or Inconvenience. 1t is an obstinate dis

the pertinacious, remedial aud restorative
operation OF Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
That genial corrective comPels the organ 10 do
its duty. Ii D,ustsecTete regularly and health
fully under the influence of the Bitters.
Their action brings it back from u state Of
rebellion into perfect harmony with the
laws Of health. If there is costiveness ii
disappears; If there is side-aehe or back
ache, it ceases If the skin and the whites
of the eyes are tinged with superfuous bile,
they recover their natural hue; if the appe-
tite is gone, il returns; if the digestion is
impaired, it is restored; in brief, whatever
the symptoms of the complaint may be, and
whatever the phase it has assumed, a cure is
certain. Such are the uniform effects of
this preparation where bilious disease has
bsen already developed; but in cases where
there is merely constitutional tendency
TO liver complaint, IL may be prevented
throughout life BY the regugpr use, in small
quantities, of this palatable antidote. These
are proven facts, and should be seriously
