TooMBs.-WAsHINGTcN, Nov 21.-
An intimate friend of Toombs, of Georgia,
now in the city, who recently had an in,
terview with the great unreconstructed,
says that Toombs spoke his sentiments in
the Chicago dispatch, and that he talks
the same way in public and private. He
also denounces the Northern Democracy
as: sneaks and towards, saying that the
Southern wing of the party has played
second fiddle to them long enough, and
that it was time for a reorganization of
parties upon new basis. This gentle
man says, however, that Toombs repre-
sents only himself, and never claims to
speak for others, and that not one South
ern man in twenty believes as he does.

NEGRO ExoDUs.-WAsHING Nov.
N.-Seventy colored people, mostly men,
from North Carolina, who have been here
for few days, left yesterday for Indiana,
where homes will be provided for them.
They are a goodlooking crowd, and
express themselves willing to work. A
portion of them have not money to con-
tinue their journey, but the necessary
amount was raised here by subscription.
Indiana democrats now complain because
these people propose to settle in Indiana,
fearing they will vote the republican
ticket with healthy regularity. AS South
erners say that the blacks never vote re-
publican unless imposed on by carpet
baggers, the ndianians are credited with
unnecessary apprehensions.

GEORGIA, by an act of the Legislature, is
pensioning confederate soldiers to an ex-
tent that will take 100000 annually
from the state treasury for several years.
The loss of leg in the confederate service
msures $50 per annum, and lost arm
secures the victim $50 year. Let the
confederates once get possession of the
national government, and congress will
do what Georgia is now doing.

IN UNFOU NDED CHARGE,
Saws The Democrat:

The disgraceful, unlawful practice of purchas-
ing votes the same as merchandise must and
shall be stopped. The outrage is probably car
red to a greater extent in Watertown and vicini-
~ than in any other place in the country In
net as elections are now carried on, the candi-
date of either party must make up his mind be-
fere hand to buy his votes And we hereby give
cue notice to all whom it may concern that in
the future we will resort to the employment of
spies and detectives for the purpose of breaking
down the vicious, demoralizing tendency.
In another article upon the same sub
Het it has the following:

Epecta blllty of democrats to observe the throng

quarters for few days previous to an important

SO far forgot the obligations of good citizenship
and the provisions of law as to be guilty an al
most open violation of BOTH
Now, we submit in all candor that it
N not.sright for The Democrat to hurl
nuendoes at members of its own party in
this way. 1t charges democrats with be-
ing mercenary and corrupt and says that
they are paid to vote the republican tick
ct. This is no trifing matter, and we
aPprehend The Democrat did not con-
slider what it was saying nor the great
number of democrats it thus unjustly as
smiled. We are more charitable than
The Democrat and do not believe that the
democracy are so wicked as that paper
tries to make it appear they are. Further
more, we know republicans would OF be
guilty of buying votes, and that "the
throng of bribe-takers swarming about re-
publican headquarters for few DAYS pre-
vious to an important election, exists on
ly in the fertile imagination of the writer
In The Democrat. 1t is true that MANY
democrats voted the republican ticket
tAis fall, as they did one year ago, and as
they will probably do in the future
because of the principles of the republi-
can party and its candidates being more
satisfactory to them than the principles
and candidates of their own party. Any
intimation that they SO voted for money
consideration is false and dastardly, and
We are surprised that The Democrat
should have the hardihood to make such
aeharge.

The New York Circus.

We copy below a few extracts from
the press in relation to the Great New
York Circus which exhibits in Cen
tralia, Monday July 81
The Great New York Circus has
eogs te saa gone from Litehfeld and
the wheels effortupe rel on as though
aothiag of Importance had happened.
Monday megRing at an early hour peo-
pie began to come in to see the show
ere noon the streets were lined with
people Sho were going to attend the
first and only square-toed, tirst-class
circus that has ever visited the place,
and when the afternoon performance
began we should Judge there were two
thousand people under the canvas, and
in the evening nearly as many more.
The circus IS Il better one by far than
we expected to see, and from the man
ayers, Messrs. Hamilton & Sergeant,
down to the least employee was the
most gentlemanly and well behaved
lot of circus people We ever saw. * <
Another redeemlng feature about show
was the fact that no side shows, games
of chaacc, gambling or pick pockets
follow it, and a mans pocket book was
safe in their crowd, as it would be any
where. We would then say to the
New York Circus we are glad you
game amongst Us and hope that this
may be but the first of many Wis
its of your combination. = Litchteld.

tied US is the Great New York Circus,

The grace and daring of the Bald
WINS, Ed. and Lolita. was the finest

the New York Circus the best we ever
had here or have seen elsewhere =

How Watches are Made.

1t will be apparent to any one, who
will examine SOLID GOLD WATCH,
that aside from the necessary thickness
for engraving and polishing, large
proportion of the precious metal used,
is needed only to stiffen and hold the
engraved portions in place, and supply
the necessary solidity and strength.
The surplus geld is actually needless
so far as UTILITY and beauty are con-
cerned. In JAMES BOSS PAT
ENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this
waste of precious metal is overcome,
and the same solidity and strength
produced at from one-third to one-half
Of the usual cost of solid cases. This
process is of the most simple nature,
as follows +: plate of nickle compost
ton metal, specially adapted to the
purpose, has two plates of Solid GOLD
soldered one On each side. The three
are then passed between polished steel
rollers, and the result is a strip of
heavy plated composition, from which
the cases, backs, centeres, bezels, &C.,
are cut and shaped by suitable dies
and formers. The gold in these cases
is sufficiently thick to admit of all
kinds of chasing. engraving and en-
amelling +; tie engraved cases have
been carried until worn perfectly
smooth by time and use without re-
moving the gold.
THIS IS THE ONLY CASE
MADE WITH TWO PLATES OF
SOLID GOLD Dc WARRANTED
By SPECLAL CERTIFICATE.
