THE NEW
AL t II A NJ.

The past twelve months at the watham Watch
Factory have been the busiest In the Companys
history. Several wholly new stem-wlndIng watches
have bsen produced, and great improvements have
been effected In the manufacture Of al variety of
their standard watches, until now they include
every size in both key and winding, that can
be desired OF every quality and every price. AT the
same time new Inventions In machinery, and other
large economies, have cheapened the cost, so that
at present 1t Is not too much to claim that the wal
than Watches are the best and cheapest watches In
the world. These claims are, In fact almost every
where admitted. In this country 1t is matter OF
fact that hardly any fine American watchesare sold
but those OF the watham make, while orders are
now regularly received from England, Australlaa
the British Possessions generally and foreign conn
tries are abandoning the hand made productions OF
Switzerland and England, and eagerly optng
American machine made waltham watches In their
place.
Buyers OF silver watches should be careful TO OBJ
serve the stamp of the Company on the case,as vel
as en- the movement as the waltham Watch move
mens are frequently put into cases which are infe
rlor both in quality Of metal and workmanship.

-gr 1NTI.RAp1CAL CONVENTION.

The call of the Executive Board az
pointed in pursuance OF the Bartlett
resolutions appears in our columns te;
5sv It was read and discussed approx
;ucIv Yesterday by all classes not Radi-
Gals. The call is plain, business'like
document and is the result of mature de-
liberation. Under it the organization of
all elements opposed to the social rights
;pfamv will be perfected. This issue
so long dormant has been forced upon
the white people of this State, and they
cannot remain Indifferent spectators it
thew would. The question now 10 be
decided is whether the white man has
any rights in which he can be protected
by law. A complete victory at the bal
lot box might have salutary effect,
and If bebooves the white people, irr'
sprctive of creed, nationality, or former
politics, to unite with the only movement
which gives any promise of peace and
security of person or property. The
motive of self.preservation rises para
mount to all others. The election of a
single man on the Radical ticket would
intensity the arrogance and stimulate
the brutality of a class which threatens
to run rough shod over Shelby county,
regardless of legal or moral restraint.
To protect ourselves we must be up and
doing. The choice is between peace or
disorder, security or anarchy, Law and
order or reckless misrule.

The Executive Board displayed much
sense and practical wisdom in the selec-
ton of sub committees for the various
wards and districts. The gentlemen
named are in every respect worthy OF
the responsible positions to which they
have been appointed, and can be relied
upon in any emergency. They have the
energy, integrity and frmness of pur-
pose necessary and the welfare OF the
community at heart. The central com
mittee has done its duty well. Inc
work of the canvass now devolves upon
the subcommittee. They will ma
enouph 10 do from now until the closing
of the polls on the 9th of August. One
important duty viii be to canvass their
respect;ve wards or districts so thol
ouqbly that they will know every
man in it entitled to vote,
and be prepared on election day
to challenge the hordes of illegal voters
usually imported from Arkansas and
Mississippi. To do this effectively it
may be found convenient to divide the
wards up and assign each member ct the
committee district The good results
that will flow from such an organization,
thoroughly in earnest we hope, will be
some compensation to every good citi-
zen who does his part well. There is a
universally expressed desire to see the
best of men selected as delegates, and
sent to the convention as far as possible
untrammelled by pledges, that they may
select only the best of men for office
and otherwise faithfully represent their
constituents in the performance OF such
a high duty. Much of the success of the
nti-Radcal movement now rests with
the sub-eommitteemen They are the
men to promote harmony and unity OF
purpose and contribute greatly to the
victory in August. The time and
manner of holding primary meetings
will be satisfactory to the great
mass of the people. Those who have an
aversion to taking part in the ordinary
ward meetings can quietly drop in aud
vote for the delegates they wish chosen
and retire without serious Inconvenience
or loss of time; and if there ever has
been time when the substantial people
having material interests at stake should
take part in local politics it is now.

CHICAGO, June 1.-The large aud ex-
cellent brick block corner of Madison
and Market streets, owned and occupied
by NJ. D. Wells & Co., Wholesale manu-
facturers and dealers in boots and shoes,
were entirely destroyed by fire this morn
ing. The total loss of Wells & Co. on
stock is not less than 100000 and on
building 100000. The building was in
sured for 100000; insurance on stock,
$4,000.
The fire broke out on the third or
fourth floor, and the origin is wholly in
applicable, as there has been no fire
about the building. not even in the
engine room, since Friday. The house
was one Of the largest aud most enter
prising in their line Of business in the
West, manufacturing largely Of the
goods they sold. The stock of Thomas
Fearer & Co, dealers in Albany shoes,
who occupied the premises next, east OF
Wells & Co, was damaged somewhat by
water, but was fully insured. Wells *
Co. saved their books and most Of their
papers.

The Post says an unfortunate mistake
was committed at the civic reception in
honor of the Gear, which led to some
what painful results. When the Corps
Diplomatique sought their appointed
places at the banquet in the council
chamber the Ministers plenipotentiary
were informed they had no right in that
chamber, and on demonstrating some
Incorporate officials threatened their
even with expulsion. In consequence,
| the representatives of several important
nations Quilted the banquet, and although
explanations were offered while they
were waiting for their carriages, they
felt too much chagl N to return to thu
scene where they bad met with such un
fortunate humiliation. Some other places
were vacated by the English court func-
tienaries, and this civility alone saved
the banquet from being abandoned en-
masse.

uECIvIL RIGHTS.

If the white Union soldiers resting at
the National Cemetery near this city,
and, indeed, at all the cemeteries in the
country, could have risen from their
graves Saturday and witnessed the
scenes of disorder and violence enacted
BY the colored crowds in attendance, we
doubt not that they would have been as
much astonished as the jewellers would
have been terrified at the apparition.
The day is appropriately designated 90
set apart in honor Of the Union de- I
and none Of the people in the South
would detrsct from their fame. But the
day here is monopolized by the negroes,
who Saturday disgraced themselves and
those they undertook to honor by turn
ing it into an occasion of festivity and
violence. Those who advocate the
civil lights bill in Congress would
not believe, or at least admit, that
such things could happen anywhere in
the South. The war has been over nine
years and the negroes Of Memphis have
been free since the 9th of June, 1862.
They have churches, schools and every
possible facility for improving themselves
What progress have they made toward
refinement or even civilization Let the
disgraceful scenes Of last Saturday, in
utter disregard of law and decency, be
the answer. Their conduct shows what
they will do when in full power. A few
persons, some white and some black,
had the temerity to set up little booths
IN the vicinity Of the cemetery for tbs
sale of soda water, ice cream, fruit, to
bacco, etc, and perhaps Of liquors
though as to the latter we are not posi-
tive. A Mr.. Martin, a white man, offer
ed articles for sale on his own premises
Some of the vendors, at least, ha,
regular licenses from the government
as well as from the State and county
Yet the President Of the Pole Bearer
took squad Of his men, armed wit
regulation muskets, and started to clos
their places. A mob of black folk
men, women and children, at once mad
q rush on the booths and little stores
and stripped them Of their contents wit
brutal avidity and feroeity. Mrs. Martii
and a white man, an Italian, we're rot
bed of money in their pockets, and com
PEELED under duress to submit to tn
TiIest imprecations and indignities
Many others whose names we have nc
obtained, were mistreated and robbed
And these are the people who clamo
for civil and social rights, and boa'
they will now sit at the table with whit
ladies. 1t happens that highway rol
berry is hanging ofense in this Stat
and it'happens that the grand jury is
session. We hope that some OF the pc
petrators will be identified and MAJ
an example of to teach the. rest thl
there is still law enough in the land
punish such outrages.

WORK FOR THE GRAND JURY.

Messrs. Pope & Brother have store
half mile this side of the National
Cemetery. Last Saturday they moved
about $500 worth of their goods to a
booth near the gate of the Cemetery and
carried with them United States and
State and county licenses, with full
understanding between themselves and
Captain U. W. Miller, who owns the land.
The Pole Bearers in their rounds visited
this place and we're about to demolish it
when the Pope Brothers compromised by
paying the sum of twenty-five dollars.
The Pole Bearers had just as much right
to take this money from the Popes at
the point of the bsyonet as to stop a
traveller on the highway and make him
stand and deliver" his pocket book,
or to surround store on Front street
sd demand q privilege tax OF S25.
IT., .s i By one William Hen
~ Taylor, a white man, and supeIinten-
dent Of the Cemetery. This is a clear
case of highway robbery and calls for
the prompt action of the Grand Jury.
We learn that the worst was never all
told-that many things Of an outrage GUS
character were done which escaped the
vigilance of the reporters on the ground.
