The past twelve months at the Waltham Watch
Factory have been the busiest in the Companys
history. Sc eral wholly new winding watches
have bcen produced, and great improvements have
been effected In the manufacture OF all variety Of
their standard watches, until now they include
every size in both key and stem 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, 30 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 it is matter of
fact that hardly any fine American watches,are sold
but those of the Waltham make, while orders are
now regularly received from England, Australia, and
the British Possessions generally, and foreign coun
tries are aban Joining the hand made productions of
Switzerland and England, and eagerly adopting
American machine made Waltham watches in their
place.
Buyers of silver watches should be careful to OBJ
the stamp of the Company on the case AS wei
as on the movement, as the waltham Watch move
ments frequently put into cases which are infe-
rior both in quality of metal and workmanship.

FATHER RYAN.

The following note from our old friend DR..
W. G. Austin, explains how the rumor that
Father Ryan would speak at the mass meet
ing tonight obtained currency. The Doc
tor had been out of town for some days
and was not aware of the arrangements made,
hence his error:
New ORLEANS, Sept. %, 1875
Dear Bulletin-I gave the information to the
Picoy,tne and Times that Father Ryan u
would speak at the meeting Wednesday night
was led to believe SO from long CONVERSE
ton held with him Sunday night on the Mo-
bile train. While he did not say positively
that he would speak if called upon, was in
duced to believe that he would from the can
did manner in which he discussed the outrage
of the School Board in attempting to African
ize our schools.
| understood the meeting was to be held in
St. Patrick's, or some other large hall. Ga
our arrival | consulted quite number of
signers and they agreed with me that he
should be invited. Your paper did not come
out Monday morning, CT | should have asked
you to publish it with the notice of his arrival
am truly sorry that he is not to speak, for
his speech would be powerful one Besides
no mans opinions would have greater weight
in this State than "Father Rgan's." He has
his reasons for declining to speak, and as a
friend and admirer of his | regret that We
shall not have an opportunity of hearing him
on subject fraught with SO much interest &c

THE SCHOOL BOARD ILLEGAL.
from our Edition of Sept. 28.1

From our Edition of Sept. 1871
Among other reasons why the present School
Board for the city should Immediately resign,
! is the fact that most of them hold the Office
in contravention of Article III of the Consti-
tuition, which is as follows:
"No person shall hold or exercise at the
same time more than one Office of trust or
profit, except that of justice of the peace or
notary public.
There is no ambiguity about that article; it
is perfectly plain and stamps the board as
illegal and its acts as null and void before the
law.
The following are the members of the
board who are debarred by the Constitution
from sitting thereon:
P. B. s. Pinchback &C. }, Senator (claimant).
J. B. Gaudet e. J, Police Com missioner.
J. A. Massicot TO-, State Senator.
A. I. Dumont to-, State Senator.
| r. B. Stamps (c.), State Senator.
Y. E. Mccarthy TO-, Clerk in Staes Court.
| James Longstreet, Major General Militia
| and Levee Commissioner.
FL. G. Dibble, Assistant Attorney General.
| B. L. Lynch. Judge of Fourth Court and
soda water.
| It is difficult to see how upon this showing
the State Superintendent can fail to demand
the designations of the above parties. He
must do it or stand in the position of know
ingly permitting the violation of the State
Constitution, which he has taken an oath to
support. We insist that the Superintendent
can not escape from the dilemma except by
asking for the resignation of those members
referred to, or by declaring their Offices
vacant.
We shall see whether the Constitution can
be ignored as to one provision and rigidly en-
forced as to another, as may suit the whim or
fancy of the Superintendent.

TdE SLAUGH TER-HOUsE CONTRO.
VERSY.

We publish this morning protest from q
against removal of the Slaughter Houses
across the river.
It further appears from the card annexed to
that protest that large number OF butchers
which this protest is made under mistaken
impression, and that they desire to set them.
selves right in the matter.
In this connection the following commu-
nication which appeared in the New Orleans
Bee of Tuesday last, the 21st of September,
is pertinent:
The Slaughter-HOuse.
On Sunday last there appeared in the up
town papers q card signed by persons calling
themselves the Leading Butchers of New Or
leans" stating that the arrangements OF the
Slaughter House Company were totally defect
i've and denying the assertion of the President
of that Company that they preferred the left
bank of the river, adding that their choice
was for the right bank.
Considering the fact that this card was
written in language wherewith the majority
of the butchers are not acquainted, we are
inclined to believe that most of them did not
fully understand the document they signed
for if they did, what could be their object?
If an undoubted majority of the butchers
should ask of the company to remove the
slaughter-houses on the right bank of the river,
the company could, without mi ury to its inter
ests, promptly comply with just demands not
inconsistent with its duties to the public. At
all events, whether the slaughter house is 10
Gated on the right or left bank of the Missis-
sippi River, the company's tariff would re-
main unchanged. There could not therefore,
accrue any pecuniary advantage therefrom to
the butchers in moving across the river.
Neither could thers be any profit in the
change, for admitting that the company
should provide the buildings and the other
accessories, equal in convenience to the pre-
sent ones on the left bank, there would still
be great, almost insuperable obstacles in the
bank of the river to the other.
In word, setting aside all discussions
about monopoly, it is highly improbable
that, dollar for dollar, the butchers would
not prefer this (the LETT bank) to the other
side of the river.
This being we'll understood, we know from
the best sources that great number of the
signers of the aforesaid card signed it be-
cause it was represented to them to be petit
ton for reducing the tariff on slaughtering
cattle; and that others did SO under the i'm
preston that they were called upon to de-
eide upon the future status and existence OF
the Slaughter House Company.
II is, however, very evident after carefully
perusing that card, that its only object is to
favor transfer of the slaughter-houses across
the river, proceeding to which every one OF
the signers of that protest who is bona fde
butcher would most strenuously object.
The public has not forgotten that when the
company moved its slaughter-houses across
the river on the left bank, the expense was
very heavy, and the great sacrifice of money
thus incurred was made solely to comply with
the generally expressed wishes of the butch
ers. SEVERAL OLD BUTCHERS

PROPERTY HOLDERS UNION

The Central Committee of the Property
Holders Union met last night in the Senate
Chamber, Mechanics Institute. President
Archibald Mitchell occupied the chair. A
large msj ority of the delegates were present.
B. r. Forman, Esq, Chairman of the Com
mittee on State Debt and Taxation, submitted
| final and able and exhaustive report, too
lengthy for publication, but SO full of interest
| that no synopsis would do it justice.
| The report was received and adopted and
vote of thanks extended to the Committee.
| On motion the report was referred to Ex-
ecutive C,mmittee, with instructions to have
| it printed in pamphlet form.
| Mr. W. b. Koontz on behalf of majority
of the Committee on City Debt, submitted
report in which the city debt was set down at
500, OO2, $50 81, of which 1888, $50 was legal,
and the remainder, $13, 1872, $50, 81 was IN the
opinion of the majority illegal
| The report recommended that an effort be
made to have the S13 1872. $50 81 declared
illegal. The matter would be before the
courts for at least five years, but IN the mean
time the city must have relief. The new
bonds would specify the character of the
bonds for which they were exchanged, and If
these were declared illegal the new bonds
would fall The report concluded recon-
mending the Endorsement of Administrator
PiIsbury's premium bond plan.
Mr. j. A. Moran on behalf of the minority
submitted report agreeing with the above as
regards figures, but reco intending that the
bonds be funded at their market value, with in
terest at the rate of four per cent for the first
five years, five per cent for the next five
wears. and six per cent thereafter.
Both reports were laid over.
The resolution of the Tenth Ward e MON,
providing for committee to prepare new
city charter was received and referred to the
Committee on the City Charter.
After some discussion as to the constitu-
tionality of admitting alternates into the COM
mittee which was decided in the negative
that is, that alternates could not be constitn-
tionally admitted-the meeting adjourned

DEATH ON IHE RAIL.
Capt. Abram Killed on the Track.

Nothing has occurred of late which has
given such severe shock to this community
as the sad and untimely end of Capt. George
P Abrams, commander of the steamship Cor
dova, who SO Unexpectedly met his death on
Etysian Fields street on Monday night, at
11:30 o'clock.
The circumstances of the horrible accident
were as follows:
Capt Abram and Messrs. Wolkart and
Stringer, of this city, got on board the city
homeward bound train at Bay st. Louis,
where they met several friends and acquaint-
ances coming from Pass Christian. The re-
union was pleasant one, and during the trip
Capt Abram invited several of the party to
take breakfast with him this morning on board
of his steamer, lying below Elysian Fields
street.
Everything passed pleasantly, and as the
train slowed up preparatory to stopping at
Washington Square, Capt. Abram left his
seat and passed out to the platform of the
car. The party had broken up, and each
went his way, and the Captain, desiring to get
off at that spot, turned to 60 down the right
stairway, but q brakeman was posted there,
so he attempted to step across to the next car.
Notwithstanding that there was comparatively
little motion to the train, he missed foot
hold and fell violently between the cars. He
was just in the act of stepping when his foot
slipped and he disappeared below.
The alarm was quickly given, but alas, too
late to save the man. The momentum of the
train was sufficient and the first wheel of the
forward truck beneath the rear car passed
over him, horribly mangling him and causing
death instantaneously. The brake pinned
him firmly in the position, and it was only
after the services of heavy screw were pro-
cured that the mangled body was released.
The body was taken to the Fifth Precinct
Station, where an inquest was held yesterday,
and verdict of accidental death returned.
The right shoulder was nearly severed from
the body, the left leg cut open up to the knee,
and one of the arms broken in two places.
We learn with regret that Capt Abram
leaves wife and child in Liverpool.
A gentleman just in the prime Of life,
of temperate habits and enjoying the re.
spect of all with whom he had been thrown
in contact, Capt. Abrams loss is one of
magnitude. Starting out in life as cabin
boy at the age of fourteen, his assiduity and
energy won early promotion, and at thirty -four
he was commander of the noble steamship
Cordova. Gentle and brave. amiable and
large-he srted, the sudden demise of this
much-loved sailor can not but carry regrets to
host of loving friends.

THE SCHOOL BOARD SHAME.

Will the lady who wrote us long comnu-
nication regarding the School Board be kind
enough to call at this office? We know how
this scandalous board, and we know too that
many insults and abuses are quietly borne by
teachers who feel them keenly, but whose
bread is dependent upon the pittance they
work so hard to earn. This is the time to be
bold and speak out fearlessly. Never fear
the board, its days are numbered, and the
time in which it can insult and Cypress its
master-the peoples fast drawing to
close. They may laugh at the mass meeting
and lay the fattering JUNCTION to their souls
that it will all blow over They laugh best who
laugh last, and when this storm of popular
Indignation shall have blown over there will
be- we fancy, one wreck that will not be
worth the trouble of the underwriters to in
spect.
We tell the bold, defiant and lawless men
on the board that they have run the full
length Of their tether, and that it behooves
them to take heed OF the voice of an aroused
pushed the people to the wall; they have in
moment of madness determined to test to the
uttermost the patience and forbearance of a
community which has borne much, but which
can be trifel with too far.
The decent Republicans themselves cry out
against the perpetuation of wrong so pal
pable SO inexcusable, and SO injurious in its
effects, and the people of all parties unite in
the demand that the control of the schools be
taken away from the present notorious and
shameful body, and given to men of known
ability and pure character.
The education Of our children is too deli
cate and sacred a trust to be left to men who
for the most part are shamefully ign GRANT and
morally disreputable.
