PEARSON, the Pennsylvania over whose
perversion the Democrats are rejoicing, is
the hero of the Pittsburg ''round-house".
At the time of the riot there in 1876, he led
the Philadelphia troops into the round
house and left them to be murdered. Since
then he has been under a cloud. The esti-
nation in which he is held is expressed in
the exclamation of Pennsylvania veteran:
"Good Now if we could only shake off a
few more of his kind the Republican party

THE Argus has charged General Garfield
with being corruptionist, a salary grabber,
and swindling politician. 1t changes
ground now, and calls him perjurer This
it does on the testimony of Oakes Ames.
Mr.. Ames at first said General Garfield had
no connection with the Credit Mobilier; and
then, on second thought-whch. contrary to
the proverb, was not the best-said General
Garfield had taken a dividend ON Credit
Mobilier stock. General Garfield said he
had not taken a dividend, and his denial
has been accepted by eminent Democrats
like Senator Thurman, Henry B. Payne. and
Jere Black. The Argus can believe Oakes
Ames if it wishes. The PRESS believes Gar
field. We must remind the Argus that it is
begging the question when it bases its
charges ON the contradictory and contra
dicted testimony Of Oakes Ames.

THE New York Nation commends the
military record of General Hancock, but
in him only good soldier, and supports
General Garfield. Among otner things if
says.
The Union over which Washington and
Jacks ON and Harrison were called to rule was
a very different community from that which is
to elect the next President. 1t has changed
from simple and small agricultural popula-
tiOn strung along the eastern coast, and man.
aging almost all its affairs through local self
government, into an immense nation, cover
ing a continent and competing with the world
in all the industrial arts, with vast civil SER
vice, vast accumulated wealth, powerful cor
porations, thousand conflicting interests, and
with momentum in its progress which makes
the slightest error in direction capable of tre-
est view Of the faactions OF the Executive, the
President of such republic needs to be not
simply an able and honest man, but one of the
master politicians of the time. There is not
much likelihood of such politicians finding
election to the Presidency easy in our day, but
we do sincerely believe StrOug move in that
direction has been made in the nomination Of
General Garfield, that he belongs to an order
of men whom the people have to be persuaded
to favor and elevate, and that the selection of
another soldier now would be distinct step
backwards towards somewhat barbaric theO-
ry of government. Is it not time "the war
drum throbbed no longer and the battle-fags
were furled," even though the parliament of
Man. be some ages distant?

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

1t Will be apparent to any one, who will en-
anime SOLID GOLD WATCH. that aside from
the necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing, n large proportion OF the precious
metal used, is needed only to stiffcn md hold
the engraved portions in place, and supply the
ccssary soltdlty and strength. Tho surplus
gold Is actually needless so far as UTILITY and
beauty arc concerned. In JAMES BOSS PAT
ENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this WASTE OF pre-
ciols 'notal Is overcome and tho SAME soLIDITY
AND STRENGTH produced at from one-third to
| onc-half OF the Usual cost OF solid cases. This
process Is OF the most simple nature, as fol-
lows: plate OF nickel composition metal
specially adapted to the purpose, has two plates
OF SOLID GOLD soldored one on odth Side. THO
thrcc are then passed between polished steel
rollers, and the result Is q strip OF heavy plated
composition. from which the cases. backs, CEN
tres, Dezzlcs, &C.. Rrc cut and shaped by sulta-
bio dies and formers. The gold In these cases
Is sufficiently thick to admit of NIL kinds of
chasing, engraving and enamcling; tho on
graved cases have been carried until worn pcr-
fectly smooth by time and uso without remov.
ing tho gold.
THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE WITH TWO
PLATES or SOLID GOLD, AND WARRANTED
