De shortened when necessary. 1t was shown
Machine, by the unequal stretching of its two

one SIDE or the pulley, causing the Machine to
run heavlly-a difficulty to which the round belt
Is never liable, SINCE as it runs in groove, it is
impossible for 1t to get out of place.

10 Tie OhCers OF he Union FdiyS-
We, the undersigned, appointed a
Special Committee to inspect the
merits of the several Sewing Ma
chimes entered for Premiums, would
respectfully report: THAT tive ma
chimes were entered the Wilcox g.
Gibbs and the Florence Sewing
Machines.
In prosecuting the examination, it
was agreed by the Agents representing
the two Machines to render to your
Committee, in writing, the peculiar
points on which they based their
claim of superiority, and in testing
the machines, each point was to be
taken separately, and. after a fair
trial, adjudged to the best of our
ability. Each Agent presented their
claims in due form, copies of which
will be found below.
For the Wilcox q Gibbs Machine,
HutyJf0e distinct claims were made
for lis superiority, ALL of whic
we're sustained. Whereas, for tn
Florence Machine, but ten were pre-
sented, t,cO Of which were sus-

with it, the needle was broken at the first stitch.

general purposes is superior to either made by

NoTE.-The trial upon this claim was very
thorough, and the practical tests minute and
accurate. Each Machine was required to use
thread from the same spool, make the stitch of
the same length, and perform the testwork on
the same piece of goods, with the lines of sewing
side by side. The results were all decisive, and

Mormonism and IFS Cure.

LITTLE pamphlet, bearing the title of 'Tbe
DemoraiziDg Doctrines and Disloyal Teach ngs
of the Mormon Hierarchy" has been laid upon
our table. 1t merely confirms, by quotations
from the official organs of the Mormon Church,
the wellknown doctrines of their leaders. OF
course they are revolving to all properly consti-
tuted minds, and many OF their expIessi )ns are
ianatically disloyal.
The remedy for this Mormon trouble is to be
found in the gradual 6lling-up OF Utah with a
different class OF people. The geographical
position OF Salt Lake City is such as to give
assurance of large town in the future.
Already strong anti-Mormon element has col.
lected there and is making its influence felt.
This movement will increase. The completion
of the Pacific Railroad to that point will cause
Utah to eli up very rapidly, and then Nor
DOnism will decline and pass away. BRIGHAM
YOUNG is really the life of the society now, and
were he to die it would commence to tall
tol pieces at once. Much may be done by
the General Government to discourage Nor
monism by the appointment of the right style
ol meh to official positions in Utah, and we hope
that consideration will not be overlooked; but
the final overthrow of the vile imposture
must await the slower action OF more general
causes,

Not erich En- Ough -

The following paragraph has been going the
rounds of the press, and is at the same time so
unmeIited as TO deserve notice.
1.-TWO men have been found in one year and one
continent who are rch enough ELIAS HOWE, Jr.,
is the possessOr of sewing machine patent, out OF
which he hos coined m ION and hail OF dollars.
HIS patent about to expire, and he has announced
that he shall not apply for its renewal as he has
made money enough The Mayor of BROOKLYN
Hon. SAMUEL M. BOOTH, has salary OF 5000
which the Brooklyn Council have just raised to
$4,000, and Mayor BOOTH returns the bill VITA his
Veto with his objections to an increase during his
tern term OF otiice there Is no reason to appIenend
followed; but in the midst OF such heated term
as the present it is very refreshing to learn that
with what they have; the with his little million
and half and the other with his modest and doubt
less very insufficient stipend OF three thousand
year"
If either Mr.. ELIAS HOWE or Hon. S. NJ.
BooTH deserved the least praise for their actions
we would be among the first to give 1t to them;
but while we regret to inhict pain, yet justice
compels us to tell our contemporary that the
two men who are rich enough" have not as
yet been found. The patent of Mr.. HOWE was
issued under the date of September 10, 1915. It
ran its full term, extending to the same day
1860. He then secured its reissue for the re-
naming seven years, and has worked it during
the entire time which it could be covered by
IL.
be must get the assent of Congress, and the
Committee on Patents would hardly be in favor
of allowing him the continuance of privilege
out of which he has already realized over
million and a half of dollars. Whatever may
be his ideas of sufficiency, we do not doubt
that the Committee would think that he is
erich enough" The fact that he is not salts
fed is attested by his building an immense
factory for the manufacture of his machines,
In order to enter into competition with the
very firms who, by paying MIN liberal per.
centage for his invention, have amassed for
him his vast fortune
In regard to the Hon. s. NJ BooTH, who we
are told was so selfdenying as to veto an it,
crease OF salary, we have only to say that the
laws OF all cities, including Brooklyn, prevent
any such increase going nto effect until after
the expiration of the term of office for which
the present incumbent has been elected. Unless
MIR. BooTH is possessed with a confident belief
that he can secure a reelection, we do not think
he deserves much credit for cutting his sue.
cessors off from an advance Of $4,000 per year.
Whenever the sufficiently rich man appears we
will hail his entrance, but we must postpone
bis welcome, as neither Mr. HOWE nor Mr..
PooTH can be said to be the man.

What the Friends Have Done for the
Freedmen.

WITH characteristic unostentation, the society
of Friends of Philadelphia, OF the Orthodox per-
suasion have been working 10 aid the freedmen.
Debarred by the articles Of their faith from par
ticipstiug. or even openly countendncing the
war. they have attested their patriotism by
watching with tender solcltude the wants of the
African as he passed half blinded into the light of
freedom. Their annual report copies of which
have lust been printed, exhibits liberality to us
unexpected. When we remember the limited ex
tent of the Friends we must give them great credit
for generosity. The report se's forth that they
have raised within a twelvemonth S53, 7lS, of
which S34, ,O56 came from our city ami Sl9,66l
from Great Britain. The Executive Board re
marks:-"It is gratifying to be able to state that,
notwithstanding the large calls upon us for
funds the Board has at no time been embar-
rassed for want of means; we have not felt
obliged TO refuse dnyproper application for assist
ance, but have largely extended our operations"
We had no idea that any class OF foreigners
telt sufficient interest in affairs to voluntarily
contribute such a sum as has come the Friends
in England. In addition to cash received from
abroad clothing and blankets, valued at $27, 00O,
have come to hand. Determined to turn the
means to practical advan tage, the Society has
established schools for the education of the
freedmen at Greensboro, Hlllsboro, Oakridge,
Danville, and thirteen other points, and the
total number under daily instruction
amounts to 437O. II addition to these, there
are farms and temporary schools which keep
under tuition some 5000 more. The report
well remaIks:-"The good that all these humble
schools are doing among the untutored negroes
is beyond estimate. If nearly ten thousand have
received direct instruction in them, how will it
leaven the whole mass with whom they come in
contact The appreciation OF education for the
freed people appears to be somewhat on the
increase among the whites of the South. The
opening of a school in a rural district at once
renders it easier for the planters to obtain
laborers there, the freedmen being averse to
leaving towns and cities where their children
can go to school, to settle In neighborhoods
where there are none. 1t is very cheering to
observe, also, that within short period, in
several instances, planters have applied to the
various Freedmens Associations for teachers to
conduct schools upon their plantations, thus
evincing an interest in the improvement of the
condition of the colored people, and appre-
citation of the fact that an educated is much
more valuable than an ignorant class OF
laboTers."
We have no space for further extracts, but
must add that the evidence a1duced shows that,
without display, our quiet Friends have been en-
gagged in a noble work, and one on which the
blessings of Deity will rest, as well as the CRATE
full remembrance of the recipients of their
bounty.

The True Policy of Iseland,s Friends.

WE are glad to see indications that the more
intelligent members of the Feuian organization
are beginning to get their eyes open to the truth
that, if they expect the sympathy and support
of the American people, they must act polti-
cally with that great organization which repre-
sents the free, liberal, and progressive sentI-
ment Of the country. Our Irtshmen can never
expect sympathy in fighting foreign despotism
so long as they support the pro.slavery party at
home. We suppose JOHN MITCHELs foolishly
expressed desire, few years ago, of having
plantation we'll stocked with negro slaves, has
done more to destroy sympathy with Irelands
sufferiDgs and wrongs all over the world than all
the speeches and labors of dozen JOHN NIT
CHELs could accomplish in Ireland's behalf.
There is something revolving in the idea of a
people who are themselves claiming the sympa.
tbies OF mankind on account of oppression, at
the same time assisting in the oppression of
Others.
The true lovers of freedom are brethren every.
where whether in Europe or America, in Italy
or Hungary, in Ireland or the United States.
So too, there is a common bond of despotsm.
The supporter of slavery in the United States is,
by a logical necessity, bound to be the friend of
the European despot. Tie principles of liberty
are universal, and he who assists in depriving
one race or people of them, needs but tempta
tion and opportunity to do the same by another.
Ireland's great patriots have recognized these
truths. DANIEL O'CoNNELL was an abolitonist,
and refused to take the hand of an American
STAKEHOLDER. If, therefore, our Fenians would
secure the sympsthies of mankind for themselves
and their cause, they must show genuine aud
impartial devotion to the great principles of
human freedom and equality. They must ally
themselves with that party in America which
represents these principles. They must cut
loose from all sympathy or association with
those enemies of liberty and progress who have
for years controlled the organization and directed
the action of the proslayery Democratic party.

we in the future TO have with these States? Is
