According to Washington correspondents
the politicians are busy as beavers shaping
matters for the Presidential nomination Of
1871.
1t Is settled that Gen. Grant will DC
candidate for denomination before the M.
tional Republican Convention. He makes
no secret of his intentions. How the party
managers feel about it Is at present mere
matter of speculation, although it is report.
cd that Senator Schurz declares that Grant
cannot get the German vote, and that Sen.
ator Sumner holds that he would be weak
candidate
Morton, Butler, Wilson, Chandler and
Conkling ore reported as affirming that
there will be no serious opposition to his
re nomination unless he commits some
great blunders within the next twelve or
fifteen months. They rely for his success
on Democratic blunders such as bad nom.
iuation and Objectionable platform. In the
calculations, Pennsylvania and Indiana arc
reckoned as doubtful" States.
A number of Republicans, such a. Trum.
bull, Sherman and Dawes are represented
as by no means enthusiastic for Grants re.
nomination, though not absolutely hostile.
Amongst the Democratic names mention.
ed in connection with the Presidency are
Hendricks, Hoffman, Thurman and Han
cock. Hendricks is a free trader, which is
against him, in view of the necessity of
carrying Pennsylvania. Thurman is an
extremist. The Southern Democrats, it is
said, are nearly all for Hancock. We do
not discover that these Washington gossips
mention John Quincy Adams, >Jr.. or Judge
Rufus P. Ranney. They are strong men.
Adams, however, would be bitterly opposed
by the railroad interest. Ranney is above
all reproach, and perhaps the fact that he
has not a national reputation would be .
source of weakness. In point Of ability and
character, he will bear comparison with the
highest and best in the land.-Ras1urg

Your petitioner, who has been for two
years, and is now. a resident of Memphis,
represents to your honor that on or about
October %, 1869, she was lawfully married

times calls himself Randall P, also res.

about two weeks; they were united as two
clouds that meet ut evening. They were

he was harsh, cruel and inhuman in his
conduct, and made 1t unsafe for her to live
with him and be under hls dominion and
control. lie was the worst kind of Othello;
threatened 10 drive her out of the house,
and tried to force her to leave him. He
then deserted her on the classic Hatchie,

like Dido, with willow in her hand. He
has never returned to charm her loneliness.

GExTLEMEN:-This Office has considered

Act Of Congress approved July 9th, 1870,
and with reference to the subject, would
state as follows: ...
The 18th Section of the Act aforesaid
provides for the entry and patcnting of
placer claims, under like circumstances and
conditions, and upon similar proceedings
as are provided for vein or lode claims; stip.
ulating, however, that where such placer
claims srs upon surveyed lands the entry in

Tie I'd provlso to said 18th Section au-
thorizes the subdivision of forty into ten
acre tracts, thus recognizing in mining re-
gions ten acre lot as legal sa6djoision of
the public lands: This provision of the
law having been framed for the very just
and liberal purpose of enabling miners to
prove up their claims with the least possi-
bic chance of interference or difficulty with
adjoining mineral or agricultural claimants.
You will perceive that in the case in
question, should your views be sustained.

To require mineral claimants, in cases like
the present, to postpone making spplica-
tions for patents until adjoining miners are
willing to unite in making joint entry of
respective claims, or to include in their up.

be paid for at double the minimum price of

What sCas FeNred-A Letter sCristeu
Sictv Years Ago on Railroads.

The incredulity with which the sugges.
ton of the possibility of railway travel was
received by eminent men sixty years ago, is
illustrated in the following letter of the late
Chancellor Livingston to his brother.in.law,
Robert Fulton:
Dear Sir: did not, till yesterday, re.

it has loitered on the road, I am at loss to
say. I had before read of Jour very ingen-

Election, that they will he liable to serious
objection, and ultimately more expensive
than canal. They must be double, SO as
to prevent the danger of two heavy bodies
meeting. The walls on which they are
placed must be at least four feet below the
surface, and three feet above, and must be
clamped with iron, and then would hardly
sustain SO heavy weight as you propose
moving at the rate of four miles an hour on
wheels. They must be covered with iron,
and that, too, very thick and strong. The
means of stopping these heavy carriages
without great shock, aid of preventing
them from running on each other-for there
would be many running on the road at once
would be very difficult In cases of acci-
dental stops, or necessary stops to take wood
and water, etc., many accidents would hap.
pen. The carriage of condensing water
would be very troublesome Upon the whole,
I fear the expense would be much greater
than that of canals, without being 90 con.

A BANK NorE.-The Cincinnati EnQuiyer
tells an incident in which the late Wesley
Smead, the well known banker, and another
well known and eccentric citizen, whose
credit did not stand very high in bank par.
lors, were actors. Mr.. r. called on Mr..
Smcad for loan. Certainly Mr.. R, shall

A SuNBEAM-The greatest of physical
paradoxes is the sunbeam. 1t is the most
potent and versatile force we have, and yet
it behaves itself like the gentlest and most
accommodating. Nothing can fall softly
or more silently upon the earth than the
rays of our great luminary-not even the
festhery fakes of snow that thread their
way through the atmosphere asif they were
too film to yield to the demands Of gravity
like grosser things.
The most delicate slip of gold leaf, ex.
posed as target to the suns shafts, is not
stirred to the extent of q hair, though an
infants faintest breath would set it into
trenulous motion. The tenderest human
organs-the apple of the eye-though pierc.
ed and buffeted each day by thousands Of
sunbeams, suffers no pain during the pro.
cess, but rejoices in their sweetness and
blesses the useful light.
Yet few of those rays, Insulating them.
selves into mass of iron, like the Britain
mia Tubular Bridge, will compel the closely
knit particles to separate, and will move the
whole enormous fabric with a. much case

Of water, lifts up layer after layer into the
atmosphere and h0ists whole rivers from

little more sunshine at one place than an
other, and out Of It springs the tempest or
the hurricane, which desolates whole rc.
gion in ito lunatic wrath. The marvel is,

such stupendous results, should come to us

The extensive use Of these watches for the
last fifteen years by Railway Conductors, En-.
gineers and Expressmen, the most exacting
OF watch-wearers, has thoroughly demonstra-
ted the strength, steadiness, durability and
accuracy of the Waltham Watch. To satisfy
that class in all these respects, is to decide
the question as to the real value of these time
More than soc, 900 of these watches are

0fehepeopIe-a proof and . guarantee oftheir
supeefDsity overs all others.
Tho superior Organization and great extent
OF the Company's Works at w altha a m, enables
them to produce watches at price which
renders competition futile, and those who
bny any other watch merely pay from IS to
so 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 making orig
mating in this country or in Europe, only
those were finally adopted which severe test
ing by the most skillfull 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 q centre pinion
ofpeculiar construction, to prevent damage
to the train by the breakage of main springs,
is original with the American Watch Compa-
ny, who, having had the refusal of all other
contrivances, adopted Fogg' patent pnion as
being the best and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now
universally admitted by Watchmakers to be
the best, are used in all grades of Waltham
Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps
protecting the movement from dust. and les
SEEMING the necessity of the frequent cleaning
necessary in all watches.
Our new patent stem-winder, or keyless
watch is already decided success, and a
watch in the American market, and by far
the cheapest watch of its quality now offered
to the public. To those living in portions oil
the United States where watchmakers do moi
abound, watches with the above mentioned
improvements which tend to ensure accuracy
cleanliness, durability and convenience, mus
prove invaluable.
