upon sewing machines was not wanting. Il

arisen over the medals, said to have been
awarded 10 sewing machines at the l'aris Ex.
position. But these medals counted for moth.
ing here, for the judges insisted upon .
thorough examination for themselves, Of the
several machines in competition, and the re-
suit was q unanimous report awordiag the
highest prize to the exhibiters Of the singer
for the best family sewing machine also for
the best manufacturing machine, and also
for the best button hole machine. A clean
sweep and o righteous judgment say those
who are best informed. It was suggested by
many who saw the magnificent display made
Of these machines, and the variety aud I'd.

that the manufacturers were remiss in not
sending them to the Paris Exposition, and
thus have obviated the bitter controversy

ceeded forty-three thousand some thousands

nec,ion with this subject the attention of Con-
grcss is respectfully called to q singular and
embarrassing conflict Of laws. The Executive
Department Of this G. ,ernment has hitherto
uniformly held, as it nov holds, that naturaIi-

theory against the position held by the execu-

Hict perplexes the public mind concerning the
