CHEAP BUILDING Lors.-On another page
will be found the advertisement of M. Seavy,
offering building lots at Cumberland Mills for
sale, much cheaper than similar lots can be
bought in any other locality in this vicinity,
affording equal facilities to get to and from
the city. Cumberland Mills possesses all the
elements to make one of the first manufactur-
ing places in the State. Its resources are
just now being developed, and real estate
there, will no doubt double the present value
in very short time.

NEW MEAT MARKET. We are glad to
hear that wholesale meat market has been
opened in this city. If well sustained we
have no doubt it will prove of great advan-

tend to moderate the price of beef and bring
it within the reach of many who find it diff
cult to pay 80 to 40. cents per pound for q
good steak.

The New York World corrects misrep-
resentation of the Times, that the World has
advised the President to refuse to enforce
the Civil Rights Act. It then proceeds to
say: aaft alss
The department intrusted by the bill with
the enforcement of its provisions, is not the
Executive but the Judiciary-tha is to
say, the Judges of the Circuit Courts, the
Judges of the District Courts, and the Com
missioners by them appointed. There are
amays'' in the bill for the President, but no
must. He may" empower other persons
than the officers mentioned in the bill to
commence prosecutions, and he |'may," if he
deems necessary; order the Judges to hold
special sessions of their courts at unusual
places, So far as relates to. the President,
there is in the bill nothing man.
tory, but only permissiye. The enforce
ment of the Civil Rights law de-
volving upon the Judiciary, it belongs to
the Judiciary to determine whether it is
constitutional. The President had to act on
it in deciding whether he would sign it,,
and believing it unconstitutional, he right
sly acted on his own viewsand sent it back
with his veto. The same power of indepen-
dent Judgment exercised by the President,
was also exercised by the two Houses of
Congress, who decided the constitutional
question for themselves according to their
view. The President was not bound by
their Interpretation of the CONSTITUTION, nor
they by his nor are the courts by either.
In point of fact, there is no machinery for
the execution ofthe Civil Rights bill nor
can there be any till Congress surrenders its
views, and adopts those of the President.
The execution of the law is committed to the
Judiciary, and the judiciary system is not
in operation in the excluded States. Why is
Jefferson Davis not tried I? Because Chief
Justice Chase alleges that there are no
United States courts in Virginia competent
to try him. The Radical ChiefJnstice has
refused to hold his circuits in Virginia, on
the ground that it is not properly organ
lied State and it is only in States that the
United Stases courts can be held

A FEW REASONS WHY

E SEWING MACHINES
ARE SUPERIOR TO ALL orHE1

ARE SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHERS.
1st The Superiority Of their construction.
Cd Their n0iseless motion; hardly perceptible in
O. large room. <
3d. Their utility, performing all kinds. of sewing
in the neatest and strongest manner.
9TH. The needles cannot be set wrong, hence do
not break, as do others.
5th. They do not get out OF repair require fire.
quent expenditures for new improvements"
st. Their economy; consisting not more than one
half the price of inferior machines
18th. Their popularity, which is the best indica-
ton of their WORTH they disposed of readily
in every city in Europe superseding every Sewing
Machine hitherto in use.
9Th. They perform their work with regularity and
strength without false stitch break, frequent
with others, and can be managed and made to work
by child.
It needs but trial of these beautiful and simple
Sewing Machines to convince the most skepticai OF
their superiority over alfothers manufactured,

" The President, on the 9Th inst, trans
mitted to Congress communications from the
Secretary of the Treasury and the Post
master General on the subject of the oath of
office. Secretary McC ulloch states that from
the actual impossibility of finding suitable
persons to collect the revenue in the South
| ern States, who could take the oath, those
who could not take it had been appointed,
and their salaries thus far had not been paid
as their accounts could not be legally aud
| tied. There was another alternative, it is
true-to appoint persons from other States
but of this Mr.. McCulloch says: if5a
do not consider it advisable for the gov
| eminent to attempt to collect taxes in the
Southern States by the hands of strangers
After having given the subject careful con-
lsideration, anxious as am to increase the
revenue and to tighten by distributing and
equalizing the burdens of the people, with
no party interest to promote, and with moth
ing but the good of the government at heart
have come to the deliberate conclusion,
that it would be better for the country, po-
officially and financially, to suspend the col
lection of internal revenue taxes in the
Southern States, except in commercial cities,
| for months, if not for years, to come, rather
not identified with the taxpayers in SYM
pathy or interest. 1t will be calamity,
the extent of which. cannot now be esti-
mated, but to this nation and to the cause
of civil liberty throughout the world, it, in
stead of looking towards reconciliation and
harmony, the action of the government shall
| tend to harden and intensity a sectionalism
between the Northern and Southern States.
1t is difficult to conceive of a more unfortu-
nate course for the government of the
United States to pursue than to make tax
gatherers at the South of men who are
strangers to the people. 1t needs no refer
ence to history (although tits full of lessons
upon this subjec) to illustrate the fatal
consequences of such a policy.
OF 'loyal" applicants for Office he says:
1t is true that there are still some appli
cants for office in Southern States who pre-
sent weat they call "a clean record for 10y
atty" but, with rare exceptions, they are
persons who would have been able to pre-
sent an equally Gair record for place under
the confederate government if the rebellion
had been a success, or persons lacking the
qualifications which are needed in revenue
positions.
