Her return cannot take place without some condition-some concessions. The changes that have taken place cannot all be recalled, and when the balance is struck in future years, or the results summed up in the pages of history, it will be found that something has been gained on the side of national progress and solid improvement.

The managers of that journal are blamed is severely criticised, and none are found who do not especially for suggesting the withdrawal of the nominees, or either of them. Upon the above motion of the conductors of the paper the first impression was that the World editorial was the result of a conference with those who had authority to call the Democratic Executive Committee together; but now that it appears that the members of the committee are generally opposed to the naming of new nominees, the World editors are soundly berated for assuming the authority to control the party in a matter so vital to its inter

ests.

They also charge that the managers and editors of the World are not Democrats, and never have been; that especially Barlow, who controls the concern, is not in accord with the political sentiments advocated by the Democratic party, and that he never was a Democrat. Be this as it may, there are persons now in New York endeavoring by their counsel to bring about an amicable agreement or plan by which the mischief done recently through the injudicious conduct of the managers of the paper may be repaired.

The reorganization of the nation is proceeding rapidly. Governors, civil and military, have been appointed in all the provinces.

Holloway's Pills.-CONSTIPATION.-Violent cathartics aggravate this disease. When their action ceases, the vitiated and weakened bowels are less capable than ever of fulfiling their functions properly. In HOLLOWAY'S PILLS sufferers from costiveness have a mild, genial purgative, exactly suited to the exigencies of the case. Instead of weakening the intestines the Pills brace and invigorate, as well as cleanse and regulate them. In the worst chronic phases of the complaint, they soon produce a permanent change of habit. Sold by all Druggists.

The bonds pay seven per cent. interest-February 1

and August 1-in gold coin, free of Government tax. The principal also is payable in gold. They have fifty years to run, and are convertible into stock at the option of the holder. A sinking fund is provided, sufficient to pay off the whole mortgage at maturity.

Each bond is for $1,000 or £200 sterling. Interest is payable in New York or London, at the option of the holder.

These bonds are amply secured, being a first and only lien upon the company's entire line of roadwhich traverses the finest district of Illinois-upon its franchises, rolling stock and other property, and upon its coal lands, of which it now controls over 20,000 acres, estimated to contain 100,000,000 tons of coal. These lands, on the completion of the road, would probably sell for a sum sufficient to retire the whole mortgage.

A large part of the means required in the construction of this road is derived from stock subscriptions. Over $1,500,000 has been already expended upon the line from this source alone, and subscriptions to the capital stock are now pledged sufficient to pay the whole cost of the road, with the exception of super80 structure and rolling stock, leaving the proceeds of 60 (a) 70 the bonds to be applied to these purposes, and to the 50 @ 60 purchase of coal lands. 35 @@

Of the entire line 165 miles are now graded. The work is proceeding rapidly and successfully. It is intended to have the first division of fifty miles, giving an outlet to the coal, in operation by January 1, and the whole line within one year.

The estimated earnings of the road, with its coal business, are three-fold what will be required to pay interest on its bonds.

The trustee for the bondholders is the Union Trust Company, of New York.

At the present price of gold the bonds pay an income of over 10 per cent. in currency.

OF THESE WATCHES are now speak

350,000 ing for themselves in the pockets of the

people-a proof and a guarantee of their superiority, and furnishing the best reason for their great popularity, and justifying the preference uniformly shown them by the public.

A

opportunity of thoroughly testing all really valuable LIFE INSURANCE

inventions in Watchmaking; and it being the sole aim of the Company to produce Watches which as time-keepers would bear comparison with the very best made anywhere, they now confidently assert that the WALTHAM WATCHES have every improvement which time and experience have proved valuable. THE AMERICAN WATCH CO. desire specially to remark that having had the refusal of all the contrivances designed to prevent damage to the train by the breakage of mainsprings,

FOGG'S PATENT CENTER-PINION was adopted for that purpose as the best, and faultless.

WALTHAM WATCHES are now supplied with

Patent DUST-PROOF CAPS, protecting the movement from dust, and greatly lessening the necessity of frequent cleaning, &c.; an improvement of very great value to watch-wearers whose watches are exposed to rough usage and constant wear.
