SPECIAL NOTICES.

W A A

WATCHES.

To Bayers of Watches Everywhere

The greatest part of th» Jewelers of the United States keep Waltham Watohcs, and cordially recommend them to their customers, notwlth standing the fact that less proflt is mad* on these watches than on any others generally sold by tbe Trade' Tte reason of this Is, that the repntatlan of the Waltham Watoh renders It an easy sala. and the rosult is, that, although the dsaler does not make as much money on each Individual watch as ho may on the sale of other watches, he is still the galnsr through larger and livelier sales. There are some, however, among the Trad*, who do not give the Waltham Watch that hearty support whioh it deserves. This portion of the Trade fancy there is more money to he made by dealing In watches abost whioh tbe publio are ignorant, and in whioh there is less competition, and are eontent to make an occasional sale of such watches at a large proflt. It is this class .of dealers who, when aaked about Waltham Watches, nse that kind of langmsge which leads the customer finally to boy Just such a watch as is the most profitable, for the dealer to sell,

For the information of persons about to buy a watch, and who may be unfavorably attested by the representations cf those unfriendly to oar watches, wo eall attention to the following saggestlons:

Since the manufacture of watches was initiated at Waltham, the Company have made and sold about 400,000 watches. In every town and village of the country some nearer of a Waltham Watch may be found, Let the party about to buy ask this owner of an Amerloan Watoh this question:

HAS TOUR WATCH.61VEH I0D 81HSHCII0I7 We are not afraid to advise thoie wishing to buy a watoh to guide themselvej by the answer. Beingsstlsfied as to the-quality of the watch, tbe buyer has now only to satisfy himself that Ibe Wal'ham Watches are THE CHEAPEST as woll the best. On this bead we have a few words to say:

It is a well-known fact in manufacturing, tha the greater the number of artiples manufactured by one establishment, the smaller will be the cost of eaoh individual article. Keeping this in view, our policy has always been to sell our pror ducts at tbe lowost pes Jble prioe la order to secure large sales, and thus enable us to manufacture watches at a minimum cost. WE BELIEVE JN SMALL PROFITS AND A LABGS BUSINESS. This policy we have successfully carried out, and the result is, that tc-day we manufac ture twice as many watches as all the other factories in tbe Dnitsd States put togeMier. We can, therefore, aflord to sell Cheaper tban they can. and actually do sell Twenty-five per eent. heaper than thejr do, quality for quality.

W« would fiarther remark that in Increasing onr productions, we have constantly improved its QUALITY AND ITS VABIETY. We have had tho refusal ol nearly all Inventions intended to improve timeeleces, and have adopted all those, and those only, whioh have proveJ to be really valuablo. We hive retained in our employment every bead of every department we have ever had, whose services were of any inidortance to tho Company, and our 1 resent ooips of designers and mastor mechanics caunot be equaled in this or any other conatry. In addition to this we make go'.dand silver cases, not only for onr own movements, but for those of other factories, ours being the only establishment that turns out watches complete in every respect.

As th~se Watches »re fo sale by the Trad* generally throughout the United States, and at a retail^proflt made most reasonable by competition, the Company invariably decline orders of a retail character.

JESSE'S

position of the Ezecntive patronage would severely tost the popularity of tbe new President. Months before he entered upon tha discharge of his duties, it was apparent tbat he would encounter a rush for office quite unparalleled in. our political history. The supply of patriots, willing—and in most instances well qualified—to serve their country, was almost infinite, while the demand was limited. Wheo General GRANT took tbe oath of office, it is no exaggeration to say that his administration encountered tbe stern necessity of disappointing ninetynine out of every hundred men who hoped for positions in every department and grade of the public service, from Prime Minister down to Oauger. Each o( this countless host bad his friends and advoeates, so that the refusal of an applicant necessitated tbe disappointment not only of the principal, but of hundreds, perhaps thousands, cf his friends.

Under these circumstances it is not surprising that the few appointments already made, have not been received with universal approbation. When either money or honor are coneerned, men are sensitive^ but where both cash and glory combined receive a set-back, who can wonder that the victim howls?— Or who will grudge him the poor satisfaction of grumbling? We do not allude matters of a looal character, for, as yet, none of our looal appointments have been positively made, although there aro strong indications as to who will secure the prizes. But we have information that Washington is full of disgusted politicians, and that already the souls ot many ardent patriots are overwhelmed witb doubts as to the country's future, doubts inspired by fears that tbey may be overlooked in tbe distribution of ''plunder." Already there are more than mutteriDgs at tbe course of the President, and a vast deal of bad feeling is being worked up.

It is an "inalienable right" of an American citisen to growl at public functionaries. This right we have no desire to curtail. It is, perhaps, necessary as a means of ventilation. But we may be perm itled to suggest to our Republican friends that we have the President of our ewn choice, and that, whether we like all his aots or not, he is to be President for the next four years, God willing. Is it not best, then, to give his administration at least a fair trial, before »S complain of it? Is it good policy to add our voioes to those of the Democracy in denunciation of the acts ot tha man whom we have called to the Presidency Suppose he has appointed JESSE'S daughters' husbands to places that other men demanded. Have not all hi3 predecessors helped their personal friends? Others may not have done it so openly and frankly as be has, but that only proves that he is not so consummate a politician as somo of them were. And besides,

daughters aro not innumerable,

and have but one husband eaeh5. Wo •hall soon have done with the list. Thus far the President's appointees have been true Republicans, men in ful] sympathy with the most prominent representatives of tho great principles whioh underlie the Union Republican parly.— Their fidelity, patriotism and capacity are not questioned. To appoint such mon is all that oun be demanded of the Executive, although we might be better ploassd with other selections.

(Miss) Chronicle has

some good couosel for tho young men of the State. It calls upon them to enlor into the revolution of sentiment which is sweeping over the South. They have their records to make, and now Is the golden opportunity. Tho State naturally looks to them for material to replenish its sunken fortunes. From their ranks must come the future governors and law-rank-ers. The old politicians have either disappeared from public view among the debris of the rebellion, or are so beslimed with rotten records as ever to bo objects of suspicion and aversion. Not all tbe arts of a life-time training oan secure them the conidence they so foolishly lo3t by rebellion. The regime is youthful and bounding, and must be conducted by young hearts and heads. New ideas may creep into old heads, but new aspirations seldom nerve old hearts. The wave that brings safety, enlightment, and prosperity to'the South, can be mounted and controlled only by the young men of tho South. 1

THE Journal is afflicted because Judge BUSXIBE did not resign his seat in the Legislature upon the insolent suggestion of the coruscating COFFBOTH. The Judge, being an honost mac, apd possessing sufficient intelligence to qualify him for his office, could not abandon the post ef duty to which his constituents bad assigned him. COFFROTH, on the other hand, was one of the ruling spirits in the disgraceful bolt, talked glibly of "an appeal to the people.!, but lacked courage to make tho "appeal" in person. It would not bo more cheeky for a convicted felon to ask his jury to resign and go before the people for a decision of bis case, on which they had rendered their verdict, Ihan for any of these revolutionists, who have disgraced the State by their bolt, to demand that Republican members shall follow so pernicious an oxiimple. If ST. PETER should slam the door in COFFROTH'S face, will "the gentleman from Huntington" demand tbat PETER resign the keys and. "appeal to the people" to deeide which of the two is right?

THE Cincinnati Evening Chronicle has entered upon its second year.

question of annexation to tbe

United States is a growing one among the Cuban insurgents. It is second only in importance to tbat of recognition by this Government. The latter may prove a greater source of enthusiasm while the struggle lasts, but the former will serve a better purpose when the day of recuper. ation from the effects of war comes. To be State in tbe American Union, and a partaker of all the benefits, political and commercial, that would inevitably flow from such a connection, would prove a most inspiring consummation. After revolution, be it never so successful, comes a period of schism and uncertainly. This Cuba can avoid by accepting early a destiny which will surely be hers.

Yioo constitutes a close rienatorial and Representative district. Couldn't you prevail on Messrs. Scott, Pierce and Hamilton to resign and let the people pass upon the subject? Certainly, they as ardent patriots and loyal men don't want to legislato in defiance of the will of their constituency!—Journal.

When our Senator and Representatives shall propose "to legislate in defiance of the will of their constituents," it may be time to discuss tbo propriety of their resigning. They will probably wait, however, in any event, for the party which elected them to intimate that their course is not approved. We don't think there is any danger of their incurring public contempt by following so foolish and dan" gerous an example as that which the Democratic "resigners" have presentedThe Republicans of Vigo have elected mon to represent them in the General Assembly who have sufficient intelligence to decide for themselves as to what course they ought to pursue upon any measure requiring their consideration, and have not sent a cquad of puerile fellows, mere puppets, who would break up a Legislature, and impose 'an immense burden upon the people, at the dictation of a few mad partizans in Washington. The Republican party is, happily, destitute of such poor material as tbat of which the minority in the late General Assembly was composed.

THERE IS on foot a powerful movement in favor of tho$»unexation of Nova Scotia and of the Canadian Provinces to the United Slates. A strong deputation of Nova Scotians who were in Washington last week, and who sjteak for their people, say that an overwhelming majority of the people boldly prefer being added to the United States since they were corruptly and against their will, and in tho face of their protest, sealed

He is quoted at saying that Congress should vote down the proposed reciprocity treaty with Canada that, free-trader as be ii, he poatponec his favorite theory before the necessity of refusing free trade to the dependency of a nation that was to sUadilj our enemy during the rebellion. If Canada wants free trade she mutt Join the American Union. Thit it a new ud itartling view of an old tubjeot, and beeomet at important ingredient in the adjuttment of the Alabama claims, Befote free trade to the Canadaa and they will be compelled to cut loote from the borne government. They eanaot exitt witb their products taxed under our tarifi and so it may happen that long before England agrees to settle our "little bill" for protecting the rebellion and driTing our commerce from the teat, at the eott of hundred! of million! of dollart to our merchants, Canada may be in a blase with the annexation fever.

FROM the New Albany GbmnmtM we learn that Doc. Sherrod, of Orange and Crawford, a "resigned" individual of the Democratic persuasion, patted through tbat city the other day, bound for Orange county in searoh of Batet' jackets.

ON THURSDAY last, at New Harmony the large furniture faotory of Altop & Ferguson wat totally destroyed by lire, with all its contents. The proprieton had just received a large ttock of new furniture, which was all lost. No insurance.

THE Evansvilie papers killed one Col, Crockett a few days ago, and the Colonel not being defunot, they are busily engaged in restoring him to his former vivaoity. The next time you want to kill a man act on Col. Crockett's motto: "Be ture you're right, then go ahead."

ENGINE No. 15, on the Toledo & Wabash Railroad, exploded while in motion with a passenger train, near Attica, on Friday at one o'clock. The engineer, Harvey Slater, was blown through a window a distance of forty feet, but was uninjured. The fireman and brakeman were unhurt. The engine was literally torn to atoms. —————

IT will be remembered that some two or three years ago, Cyrus and Jonh Carlyle, two citizens of Kentucky, were arrested in Kentuoky and brought to this State on a requisition, indicted, eonvioted and sent to to the penitentiary, on a charge of having murdered Lieut. T. T. Hampton, a citizen of this State, opposite Owensboro. The Legislature of Kentuoky has reoently adopted a resolution appropriating $1,600 for the parpose of employing eminent counsel to bring the case of these scoundrels before our Supreme Court.

WILLIAM SANDERS, the bloody-handed wretch who murdered the Woodward family in Orange county in June, 1866, killing Woodward, his wife, and titter, and attempting the murder of Woodward's mother, is now in the State of Kansas, and his whereabouts is known to tbe authorities of Orange county, but not withstanding the fact that Ibis was one of the most fearful and bloody crimes ever committed in Indiana, no effort hat been made by the officers bf Orange county to secure tbe arrest of the murderer.

VELOCIFEDESTRIANISM bids fair to absorb a large portion of the best talent in our State. We have no wish to disparage the bicycle, but a solemn sense of far-reaching duty impels us to call the attention of the young men of Indiana to the following warning, clipped from the Cincinnati <Commercial:>

Yan Wyck, the famous New York surgeon, warns the public against the use of the velocipede. He says the severe jar of the small, hard seat produces disease of the prostate gland, and if young men wish to preserve their manhood they should cease the use of the velocipede. —————

THE Washington correspondent of tha Cincinnati Commercial telegraphs tbat "Senators Morton and Pfatt, of Indians, have agreed upon and recommended tbe following appointments for Indiana:— Colonel Thomas H. Bringhurst, editor of tbe Logaasport Journal, for Special Mail Agent, H. McGill, of Parke County, for Collector of the Terre Haute district, L. A. Burnett for postmaster at Terre Hautei J.

THE YOUNG

MUHDEE.

Special ta the Dally Express.] INDIANAPOLIS, March 10. The community was again startled this morning by the report that Svke Hartman, in jail under indictment with Mrs. Clem and Benjamin Abram?, for the murder of Jacob Young and wife, had committed suicide by cutting his throal,. The report was at first regarded as a can. ardj but further information confirmed it entirely. Hartman, it seems, had within a day or two, determined to take his life, and thus cheat the gallows. Procuring a razor for the ostensible purpose of shaving, he waited until four o'clock this morning, then, while all in the jail were supposed to bo asleep, he cut hia throat from ear to ear. Falling forward on his iron aot, he drew the bed clothes about Lis head and bled to death.

Salt

It wat known yesterday that Hartman had made a confession, and the papers have published what purported to be tho tubttance of it. It it now known that the oonfeuion wat made, or given to the tGrand Jury, and that the principal points in it are only conjectured.

Mrs. Clem, it was reported at the Court Houta thit morning,also made an attempt Utt night to oommit suicide. Sbe is very muoh excited and has to be kept under oonttant guard. safitbtX

Stewart's Jfoble letter to the President. cWAIHINOTON, MarchO, 1869. 7b ih» Prstidtnt. "DEAR

SIR—Appreciating the high

honor conferred by your nomination, and the unanimous confirmation by the Senate of sytelf to the office of S- cretnry of the Treasury I regret that circumstancos beyond our oontrol ompel me to declinn. Could tho difficulties presented by tbe provision! of tbe act of 1789 which ii organising the Department of the Treasury, prohibit the Secretary frotn beir dii*etlyor indirectly concerned or interested in oarrying on the business of truda or commerce, be over come by any reasonable sacrifice, personal to myself, I would willingly make it. I would promptly transfer to the bands of gentlemen, in whom the public have full confidence, every interest in tbe gaioB and profits tbat could potisbly accure to my«elf in the butinett of my house, during my official term, to b6 applied to such publio qharities as their judgment should dictate and I have proposed and sought, by the execution of appropriate instruments, to accomplish tbat end but serious differenced of opinion have been exprets -d u:i to whether that ursa woula satisfy tha requirements of tho law. Although I will not hesitate to make this appropriation, provided it would enable me to accept the office, ana thus unite my efforts with your own and other members of your Cabinet in restoring economy and strict frugality in the administration of tbe govern men t, and lift, as rapidly as prHCiicabie, from the people tbe great burdens of taxation, debt and extravagance resting upon them yet tbe business relations of my firm are in conntation with others largely interested ia their continuancp, and, as such, they can not be severed sumrfinrily, nor can my interest in it be wboliy and absolutely disposed of without producing great embarrassment and lo-s to ihis» with whom I have been connected. I can cot consent to enter upon the administration of laws by any action or urso that can be construed into a disregard or violation of the law and while, therefore, I regret the plan proposed is deetn--ed inadequate to relieve from legal, and, «t it seems to me, technical disabilities, I yield to tbe better judgment of other?, rather tban seem to be willing to accept a position in disrespect of law. In finally renewing the declination which was tendered at the outset of these objections, I repeat to you, Mr. President, my thanks for the honor done me in offering ma this high position, and assure you that you will have my earnest efforts to sustain your administration in carrying out the wile and salutary measures indicated by you on entering upon your office.
