The Reconstruction Act.
As was expected, Johnson has added
another veto to his already long list of in
congruities, in which Buchanan's Attor
ney General, who could find nothing in
the Constitution to put down a rebellion. 1
figures in the usual style of a paid attor
ney. He complains that the Southern [
rebels whom he wanted to hang a few •
year s ago are placed under a military des
potism, and is very much afraid that his •
subordinate officers will no longer obey *
him if Congress enacts such laws as the ;
reconstruction bill. It is a long messagt I
—four columns —but contains so little thai j 1
the whole could have been compressed .
into the statements that he was once a ,
tailor, is now President, and don't want i
to punish anybody down South except -
Union men. Congress however by an 1
overwhelming vote passed it into a law. .
the nays comprising a few greasy cop .
p-erheads who would worship Jef Davi
as readily as Andrew Johnson as long a- '
either had offices and fat contracts to be- !
stow on them. Congress then adjourned .
to the 21st November.
The Democrat on "•Foreigners."
The Democrat finds fault with Judge
Williams because he happened to be born
in Connecticut! Now Judge W. has been
a resident of this State for 28 years, having
come here when quite a young man, and
it is somewhat strange to hear that paper
talk in this strain after supporting Judge
Strong, who was also born there, for the
same office. If the Democrat's objection
is good, thc-n all those candidates of the
patent democracy who were not born in
this county olight to be pitched overboard
and "natives" only nominated for treas
urer, commissioner, <fec., while of course
naturabzed foreigners would be nowhere,
except as hewers of wood and drawers of
water, making that paper more prescrip
tive than were the old Native Americans
or later Knownotliings.
That Judge Williams stands high is ,
evident from the fact that he is among the i
few in ft rior Judges whose opinions have '
!>cen quoted as law in the Supreme Court, ,
a tribute to his attainments which no t
disparagement can destroy. <
Judge Woodward, the present Chief '
Justice, in delivering the opinion of the j
Supreme Court, in the ease of Burr vs. j
Todd, reported in sth Wright, page 213,
said: (
"In M Clourg vs. Croghan's Adminis- ,
trators, <1 Grant's Caseg p 307,) this sub- (
jeet was great!v discussed uj)on by the ,
authorities, ami it was held bv Judge
Williams, of the District Court of Alle
gheny county, that the breach of a con
tract * to lease is the same as a breach of a
contract to sell land, and that the measure
of damag>-s in such a case is the price
paid for the lease and its interest, ami not
the value of the bargain. The price paid
for land whether upon lease or sale, is the
value of it as between the contracting par
tita; /> thai Judgr William'* ruling was .
not inronxinUnt with the doctrine of 8
Casey. That the same rule prevails in
respect to parol contracts, was abundant
ly shown in Malaun vs. Amnion, I Grant's
Cases, p 123) afterwards approved by the
whole Court in Hertzogg vs. Hertzogg,
(10 Casey, p 118, and Dumeors vs. Miller,

Judge Sharwood, the Demo
cratic Nominee.
The judicial decision pronounced by
■Judge Sharswood, three or four years ago,
declaring the issue of a legal-tender cur
rency by the United States Government
to be unconstitutional and iliegal. is at
tracting some attention, as showing what
his views were during the war. It that
decision had been respected and carried j
into practical effect, tin* result must have 1
'
been the overthrow of our Government
and the triumph of itsenemies. Had not ;
the legal-tender currenev been issued and :
kept afloat, the war eould uot have been
successfully prosecuted. The concluding
! sentences of Judge Sbarswood's opinion,
as they appear upon the record, are as fol
lows :
"On the whole, then, I am of opinion
that the provision of the act of Congress
'of February 25. 1502, declaring the notes j
issued in pursuance of that act to be law
ful money and a legal-tender is unconsti
tutional.
" I'li.s renders it necessary that I should
consider the other question, which has I
been made as to the effect of the special
tgreement to pay in lawful silver money
>t' the United ."states. I am in favor of
entering judgment for the plain titf. but as
a majority of the court are of a different '
opinion, judgment for the defendant."

Siiof A democratic member of Congress
from Pennsylvania, at the close of the
session last week, got up to make a speech,
and after t lubb.ring out a few sentences
that the republicans dared not impeach
Johnson, fell back in bis scat so drunk
that he could not get up again.
®B£~The recent message of the Pre-i
--dent intimating that the debts of the
Southern States would have to he assumed
by the United States, called forth some
severe ■ enunciations. and hardly found a
friend even among his most pliant tools
in Congress. Such miserable shifts show
to what straits Johnson is reduced in bol
stering up his apostacy.
Over-exertion, either of body or
mind, produces debility and disease. The
usual remedy is to take some stimulant,
the effect of which is the same as giving
a tired horse the whip instead of oats. —
The true way is to fortify the system with
a permanent tonic like the Peruvian Syr
up, fa protoxide of iron , which give*
strength and vigor to the whole system.
The Tidioute Journal tells a story
of a dying man at whose request a dauce
was held the night previous to his de

for tlie purpose of raising tunds to pay for
i "decent funeral." The receipts were
lifty-six dollars. "Glory to God!" said
ihe dying man "now I'll have a decent

&sjr The President on Saturday sent to
the Senate the nomination of Horace
Greeiv as Minister to Austria. It was
taken up and would have been confirmed
had not a single objection, made by Mr.
Tipton, of Nebraska, carried it over un
der the rule until the next day of the =e -
-ion. Mr. Tipton said he would consent
to confirm no man who would go baii for
Jeff Davis. No objection cauie from any
other quarter.
Advices just received by mail ena

as the manufacturer of the best sewing
machine that was exhibited. There were
eighty-two different machines iri compe
tition for the prize, and Mr. Howe receiv
ed the additional award of the Cross of
the Legion of Honor, as manufacturer
and inventor. The Wheeler <te Wilson

and not for the Sewing Machine.
B*SD,The last witness called by the Judi
ciary Committee was General Grant. He
was called on Friday, in connection with
Col. Hillyer, at the instance of the Dem
ocratic members of the committee, who
expected to prove an endorsement of the
President's policy from General Grunt.
He was before the committee again on
Saturday, and it is understood that he
took occasion to express himself as hearti
ly and unequivocally in sympathy with
the measures enacted* by Congress for the
restoration of the South. The details of
the evidence are not known, of course,
• hut the Republican- are in good humor
and the Democrats are chopfallen over it.
The Democrats, it is understood, expect
ed to prove General Grant's endorsement
of the President's policy, in a conversa
tion with Col. Hillyer before the Presi
dent, in the summer of 1860.
BPSD-The defence in the Surratt case
closed their evidence on Saturday, having
occupied two weeks in presenting it. They
expect to produce one more witness from
Canada, who lias not yet arrived. The
last witness sworn by them, one J)r. Bis
sell, a man with no particular abiding
place, proves to be the chief pillar of the
\alibi theory, as he swears positively that
lie saw Surratt at the Brainerd House in
; Elrnira on Friday, the 14th of April, 1865.
He -wears po-itivcly how Surratt looked
at the time. But on bis cross-examina
tion lie was unable to tell how the Brain
erd House looked, or anything about it.
The prosecution have some strong evi
dence to produce bearing on this point,
and it is probable that the greater part of
this week will bo occupied in giving evi
dence in rebuttal.

ROME, June 17, ISS7.
For several days past we have been so- '
journing in this city, once the mistressoi, J
the world. Although it has greatiy de- 1
generated, evidences of its former splen
dor st:ii remain. I have been far more '
interested in what I have seen here than 1
in any other attractions which I have be- J
held during our trip. Rome is one of the '
J centres of sacred and profane hi-to- -
rv. To read the New Testament on the 1
very spot where so in ■of the scenes which >
it describes took place makes it appear '
like a new book, while to gaze upon mads,
gateways, pal a -es and theatres, built ami
used by the ancient Romans many centu
ries ago, imparts a classic inspiration
which one mast feel iu order to under
stand.
One of the first points we visited here
was the Coliseum, the largest amphithea
tre iu the world. Although a ruin, you
cau distinctly trace its vast proportions.
We had our photographs taken on the
arena, where so many of the early Chris
tians died as martyrs to the faith, i in*
cells, in which were confined the wild
iieasts which were let loose upon the vie
tiins intended for slaughter, are plainly to
! be seen.
The celebrated Appian Way, so fre
:>jucntly referred to in Roman history, i
j i great curiosity to travellers. For more
; th in ten miles it is lined on both side
vith the ruins of the tombs of ancient
Rome. The government has removed
the accumulated dust of ages, which had
completely buried the original road, autl
we drove over the very stones on which
the chariot wheels of the inhabitant? of
the ancient Empire passed long before the
Christian era. This was the great high
way of the Romans, and was so exten
sively used that the solid stone of which
j it is constructed is marked with ruts sev
! jral inches deep.
Of course we visited the Catacombs, the
! subterranean burial places of the ancients.
fhey consist of long, narrow, damp and
• lark underground passages, with cells on
| dther side," in which are the remains of
j die dead. These vault-like passages ex
; tend in every direction, for great distan
j -es, and it is impossible to find your way
| through them without an experienced
j guide. Little of interest to the ordinary
! raveller is to lie seen in them. Of far
; nore interest was our visit to the Church
j if the Capuchin Friars, where we were
1 shown what has been the burial place of
! members of tiiis order for centuries. It is
i perfect charnel house. Skulls and bones
i ire fastened all over the ceilings and walls,
ind are piled up in pyramid->n the floor.
Whole skeletons of their Abbot-, shroud
id in their monastic habits, stand in liieh
•s, each one's bony lingers clutching a
•ross. In the ground was an open grave,
i waiting death's next victim, and a* soon
is lie shall l>e buried, the remains of
mother monk will be unearthed and ad
led to the grim pile, anil that grave in its
urn will yawn for another tenant.
At the entrance to the Aupian Way
dands the Church of St. Paul, second in
•xtent to St. Peter's. The interior is mag
lificent beyond description, being com
josed entirely of marble of various colors,
md adorned witii a large uumUr oi
splendid paintings. This church is said
o be built on the spot where St. Paul was
lelieuded, and it is also said that under
ts altar are the heads of St. Paul and St.
Peter. Every church here, and there is
scarcely anything but churclies, is built
>u some tradition of this kind. Under
neath one we were shown some prison
•ells, in one of which, it was claimed, St.
Peter was confined before his execution.
A dent in the wall of solid lock was
pointed out to us as having been made by
he jailor bumping the Saint's head
igainst it. Doubting whether Peter's
lead was as hard as this story, we receiv
ed the latter with several grains of allow
mce. All fictions of this kind, however,
ire seriously told, ami seriously believed
by " t he faithful."
The crowning attraction of Home i- St
Peter's Church or Cathedral, the largest
•uiiding in the world. It is capable ol
holding one hundred thousand per.-ms.
l'he interior is a jierfect gallery of art,
richly adorned with paintings and statu
iry, all worksof the great masters. Prom
inent among these worksof art is an iron
statue of St. Peter, in a sitting posture.
As priests and people pass tiiis statue,
they reverently kiss its great toe, or rather
what remains of it, for the pressure of
millions of lips has worn it nearly all
away. The dome is the most striking
feature of the building. To look up into
it from oeneath is almost like looking up
at the sky itself. \\ e ascended to the
very top of this vast structure on the out
side by means of a winding wooden road
way, wide enough for a horse and cart to
go up, and indeed mules are employed to
carry up the materials used for repairs.
When we reached the roof we found a
row of small houses built upon it, in
which live the workmen who are em
ployed to keep the huge building in re
pair. Just think of houses in which peo
ple live being built on the roof of another.
The entire extent of the covering of the
church is several acres. From the cen
tre rises the great dome, up which we
continued to ascend by a narrower way,
till we reached the very summit. Above
us was nothing but the large ball, which
is reached by a perpendicular rope ladder,
twenty or thirty feet in length. Up this
dizzy height I climbed, and entered the
aperture, which admitted lue into a cir
cular enclosure which would hold about
ten persons. This is the ball on the spire,
and is supported in the air at a terrific
height from the ground.
I have named only a few points of inte
rest in this letter. To tell you all we have
seen in Rome would be an endless task.
It would require a volume just to describe
the Pope's Palace. It has eight grand
staircases, two hundred smaller ones,
j twenty courts, and four thousand four
hundred and twentv-two rooms. We saw
j the Pope himself on two occasions, once
riding in his magnificent, gilt coach, drawn
by four black horses, and at another time
carried in a procession which took place
on a grand fete day. He was dressed in
a long white woolen robe, drawn around
his waist by a belt, and had on a red hat.
As he passed our party, he took off his hat
and made a polite bow, a courtesy which
he usualiy extends to strangers. As well
bred Americans, we could not help re
turning the salutation.
We are now about five thousand miles
from home, having reached the farthest
point in the progress of our trip. From
this time our faces will be turned home
ward. In a few days wo will leave here
lor Florence, from which city, should I
find time, I will write you again.
Yours, * HANS.

J/c-ssrs Editor*:—
Thinking that a few line® from a neigh
bor who is stopping for a few days at this
place might interest some of the readers
of the Gazette, J will endeavor to write a
short communication, confining myseli
entirely to but one single subject, viz.,
"Our Home on the Hill-side." I will try
to give the readers of this article as good
an idea of this Institution as I c?.u. In ad
dit ion to what I have learned from per
sona! observation during my short visit
here, I shall be obliged to borrow a few ,
paragraphs from such journals as have
come in my way. _
"Our H"me on the Hill-side,'" is the (
largest Hygienic Water-cure in the world,
i- lc atedat Dansville, Livingston county,
N. V.. at the head of the Genesee Valley.
Dansville is a town of about 4000 inhabl- |
touts and is surrounded by a most beauti- ;
ful mountain scenery. On the east side
of the town the hill rises to the height of
800 feet, and 150 feet from its base stands
the pile of buildings known as the Dans- ,
vilie water-cure, or "Our Home on the,
Hillside." The main building is four and
a half stories high, about 50 leet wide and
about 225 feet long, and in addition there i
Is an extensive wing at each end, one con
t lining the bath and dressing rooms, and
the other is the chapel. The main build
ing furnishes ample accommodations for
g.n patients; in it they room, board and
receive their treatment. The inner walls
of the chapel are embellished with a
number of very lino engravings.
The great originating and controlling
treiiius of this Institution is Rev. Dr. Jas.
C. Jackson, a man of remarkable skill
ti'nd j ower. Dr. J.'s theory is "that the
nlv rational and successful method of
treating sick persons is by using such
agencies and instrumentalities, such sub
stances and things only as are in their
nature directly calculated, when properly
applied, to keep persons from getting sick.
His method of treatment is termed, "Psy
cho-Hvgienic or after a plan of strict obe
dience* to the Laws of Life and Health."
He uses no medicine whatever, but relies
upon natural agencies, such as water, sim
ple diet, exercise, pure air and sunshine.
Persons come here from all parts of the
•country, where the various diseases in
their varied forms are, and have been suc
cessfully treated and cured, where a cure
is possible. The cure is supplied with an
abundance of pure mountain water from
the "All-healing Spring," a brief his
tory of which I copy from the August
No. of the "Laws of Life." as follows :
"Some t)0 years ago, when Dansville had
but a few inhabitants, they were startled
and somewhat frightened in the night by
a shaking of the earth accompanied by
ipiite a loud explosion; in the morning
tlu. ii' fright was changed to surprise by
-i cing on the eastern hill a stream of wa
f. r which had never before been seen.
Visiting it they found that during the
night hydraulic pressure had opened a
fissure about a foot wide, and some places
from 50 to 8M feet deep, and three-fourth.-
of a mile in length along the mountain
cre.-t, while lower down one or two hem
lock trees had been lifted out of their beds
and thrown down the mountain 40 or 50
feet, carrying along with them, attached
to their roots, great rocks, leaving a large
gap or hole, out of which the "All-healing
spring" was running a stream of water
which has never to any great degree in
creased or lessened at any season of the
year since its first appearance."
I visited this spring yesterday morning
and it certainly is a natural curiosity. It
is 250 feet above the top of the cure, and _>_
carries through that building daily over j,
Stud barrels of pure mountain water. The!
scenery from the cure is exceedingly pic
turesque. and the climate delightful. The
;enclosure surrounding the buildings, in- J 1
eluding several acres of ground, is nicely "
laid out into roads, walks,terraces,mounds, e
Ac., and beautifully decorated with shade : 0
trees, shrubbery and flowers. There are a
also several very fine croquet grounds jJ'
; connected with the Institution, where the
patients who are abie to enjoy such exer- r>
cise, enjoy themselves. I have enjoyed (
several games with them. Thesegrounds *
are made perfectly level, sanded and -
rolled.
The business of the Institution is eon- I
ducted with something of a military strict- (
ness and formality. The day is divided 2
about as follows —at 5 o'clock, a. nr., the
patients, as many as are able to move 2
around, arise from their beds: from 7 to 8 1
o'cloek have either prayer meeting or a 7
lecture by Dr. Jackson; at <8 breakfast; I<H 7
to 12, m., treatment in its various forms; 7
12 to 11. p. in., rest hours, when all busi- (
ness and games are suspended and the .
patients are expected to remain in their
rooms, perfectly quiet, and sleep if they
wish. During this period of rest every
thing i* as quiet as the Sabbath. At 3
they have dinner—have only two meals
per day; at signal is given to prepare [
to retire, ami at 9 a signal is given to ex- '
tinguish all lights, then all is quiet once a
more. Now lest I should weary you with
s lengthy an article, for fear of going back f
on my promise to be brief, and to tell the
whole truth, and say that I have nothing
• more to write, and believing this to be a
very good opportunity, as well as the very
best reason for closing my letter, I will U
say adieu. H. B. w. j"

A CARD FROM THE
aaiuua Jd'jfsii IK
or
WALTHAM, MASS.
'piIIS Company beg leave to inform the
JL public that they commenced operation* in ISSO, and
their factory now cover* four acres of ground, and has cost
more a million dollar*, and em pi *9* over opera
tives. They produce 75.000 Watches a year, an I make and
sell not less than one-half of ail the watches told In the
Cnited States.
The difference between their manufacture and the Euro
pean. is briefly this: European Watches are made almost
entirely by hand, and the result Is of necessity a lack of
that uniformity, which is indispensable to correct time
keeping. Both the eve and the hand of the most skillful
must vary. But it is a fact that, except watches
of the higher grates, European watches are the product of
th- cheapest labor of Switzerland, and the result Is the
worthless Ancres. Lepines and so called Pateut Levers—
which soon cost more in attempted repairs, than their ori
: Sinai pric*. Comma i workmen, boys and women, buy
ihe rough separate parts of these watches from various
factories, polish an 1 put them together, and take th vn to
the nearest watch merch <Bt, who stamps and engraves
them with any name or bran i that may be ordered.
How American Watches are Made.
The American Walt jam Watch is male by no such un
certain p o -vi—an 1 by no such incompetent workmen.
AH the Company's opera ions, from the reception of the
raw materials to the eoinpleti in of the Watch, are carried
on under one roof, and under one skillful ani competent
iirectlon. But the great distinguishing feature of their
"Watches, Is the fact that their several parts are all made
by the finest, the most perfect and delicate machinery
ever brought to the aid of human industry. Every one of
ihe more thau a hundred parts of every watch is made by
a machine —that infallibly reproduces every succeeding
part with the most unvarying accuracy. It was only ne
. cessary to mate one perfect watch of any particular style
and then to a ljust the hundred machines riece-aary to re
produce every par? of that watch, and it follows that eve
ry succeeding watch must be like it.
The Company respectfully subm t their watches "on
their merits" only. They claim to make
