JUAN JOSE BAz, Governor of the Fed

Be it known that in the exercise of

duty to procure the establishment Of
the capital, l have dccrced the follow
ing
Article |. The owners Of houses in
the recently opened streets, and which
have no fronts, are obliged to build
them. commencing their construction
within one month, and concluding the
same within six months.
Art. 2. Those who do not comply
with the foregoing article shall pay a
fine of.Sl00 for each month they fail to
commence said work, and if at the end
of the six months the same is not con
cludcd they shall pay a fire of $500 be
sides.
AIT. 3. Those houses or lots whose
fronts shall not have been commenced
within six months will be liable to sci
zure, to be sold to the highest bidder,
the price it may have cost the actual
owner, in cash, serving as base Of the
sale.
Art. 1. Those who own houses or
lots in litigation are under the like oh
legation, and can, in case of all adverse
verdict, demand the money expended,
from those declared to be the owners,
and also six per cent per annum on the
money invested
Art. s. Those who may have com
menced already to build their fronts
and may moi have concluded them are
obliged to conclude them within the
time specified in this law, in the same
terms and under the same penalties.
That all may have due notice, order
it to be printed, published and commu
nicated to all interested.
JUAN JOES BAZ.
NJ. A. MERcADo, Secretary.
The wonder is that, while he was
about it, Juan Jose Baz did not notify
persons having vacant lots to build up
on them, within given space of time,
or have their real estate conliscated.-
The kitchens, the sleeping rooms, the
parlors, and the garrets ofthc burghers
also must need looking after, and Juan
Jose is not fit for his place, if he do not
issue another proclamation regulating
these various institutions. He does
not know how to administer "minute
government half as efficiently as John
Pope, who regulates everything in AL
ALBANIA, from street pedlar to freed
mans bureau, and henca if Juarez
should ever grow tired of Juan Jose
Baz, he need not go farther than Mont
gomery, Ala, to find man sufficiently
small for the Office.

From the n. Y. Metropolitan Record.
If ever country was afflicted with
"loyalty' as a eursej that country is the
United States.
Here it has become n speculation, n
trick, a sham without single redeem
ting quality.
Here it is made the synonymc Of ev-
erythng that is vile, low, selfish, de
grading and Infamous.
TO be loyal in the United States,
simply means to be utterly destitute of
principle, Of manly honor, Of truth,
honesty, or fair play.
TO be loyal is to be n follower OF
that beastly and obscene old miscrcant
who leads the House Of Representa-
tives, and upon whom the shadow OF
the other world has already fallen.
TO be loyal is to he fit companion
of Beast Butler, Ficnd Brownlow, Van
lal Sheridan, Pope, the well whipped
Bully and Braggart, C0llicott the Thief,
Joe Brown the Renegade, Sumner the
White Niger, Ben Wade the Blasphc-
nous, and the rest Of the hellish crew
TO be loyal is to trample on the rights
of white men, to reduce them to negro
domination. and while suljccting them
to a grinding taxation, to deny them
ono Of the Fundamental principles Of
Constitutions! goyernmcnt-"Rcprc

TO be loyal is to sustain the policy
Of New England against the interests
Of every other section Of the country.
TO be loyal is 10 support a system
that makes the agricultural industry OF
the great W est tributary to the manu-
featuring and shoddy lords Of Yankee
dom.
70 be loyal is to coante"ancc and
maintain a conspiracy to defraud the
great White majority Of the Republic
Of their just power and influence.
We are not loya!---in fact, the read.
ers Of the Record do not require TO be
told that we are aisloyal. Among Rad,
icals, we are aware our reputation is
exceeding bad, and we are not, there
