THE GROVER & BAKER ELASTIC
STITCH SEWING MACHINES

r STITCH SEWING MACHINES
Are superior to all others for the following
reasons:
/. They sew direct from the spools, and
require no re-winding Of thread
2. They are more easily understood and
sed, and less liable 10 arrangement than 9TH
er machines.
3. They are capable of executing perfect
ly, without change of adjustment, much
greater variety of work than other machines.
4. The stitch made BY these machines is
much, more firm, elastic, and durable, espe-
cially upon articles which require to be wash
ed and ironed. than any other stitch
5. This stitch, owing to the manner in
which the outer thread is lnwrought. is much
the most plump and beautiful In use, and re-
tajns this plumpness and beauty even upon
articles frequently washed and ironed until
they are worn out.
6. The structure Of the seam is such that,
though it be cut or broken at intervals of on
ly few stitches, it will neither open, run, nor
rayel, but remains firm and durable.
Z. Unlike other machines these fasten
both ends of the seam by their own opera
ton. E g..

upon the right or face side of the seam, cot

lesseniEg the strength or durability of the
seam. This can be done on no other ma
chine, and is great saving upon all articles
stitched or made up with silk eaf
9. These machines. in addition to their
superior merits as instruments for sewing. by
a change of adjustment easily learned aud
practised, execute the most beautiful and per-
manept embroidery and ornamental work.

The New York San is pokug fun at
the impeaehers. Here is one of its last
hits in that line:
Our advertising columns are so
crowded that we are obliged to find room
for few special notices among the edi-
torials:
Dissolution of Copartnership. The
firm of Chase & Greeley is dissolved on
account of the disgust of the junior part
ner, and because the members OF the
firm are about to travel in opposite diree-
tions. The business Of the firm will be
continued by Greeley & Grant; while 5.
p. Chase will hereafter be associated with
William II Seward, formerly the head of
the house of Seward, Weed q Greeley.

The Republican Convention.

The Chicago convention yesterday
dominated Grant by scclametion. The
great leaders of theI Republican party
were not nam ed. The statesmen who
had contrived its policy and shaped its
destinies were set aside in favor OF a
military chieftaiu, whose only merit con-
sists in his silence, and whose silence
is due to conspicuous incapacity to
form an intelligent opinion. The nomi-
nation Of Grant, if not surrender In
advance, is a confession OF weakness. 1t
is an admission that the Republican party
has so lost in conscious strength, that
il dares not encounter its adversarles on
field in which the principles and
policy of the two parties shall, alone, be
at issue. Such an acknowledged Is
the precursor of defeat. The people of
this country are just now in no moed to
yield TO the fascinations Of the brass
button. The questions before the public
are too serious to be settled by an appeal
to the memories of war which, thus
far, has been productive of nothing but
dissension and disaster, and the results
of which are seen in the prostration OF
industry and commerce, and IN politl-
cal revolution which has almost con-
verted the Government into Congress
sional despotism. The next election
canvass is to decide whether or not this
revolution is to be consummated; whether
or not an ambitious and vindictive
faction is to rule without regard to Con-
stitutional limitations; whether or not
the executive and judicial branches OF
the government are to be made subser-
Went and subsidiary to the designs OF the
Radical party, expressed through fraud
ulent majority in Congress. 1t is not to
decide that Grant took Vicksburg; or
won the battle of Missionary Ridge; or
captured Richmond; or even that he
acted like a gentleman in the stanton
affair and in his attempts to force the
expulsion of Mr.. johnson from the Pres
idency. These are questions which the
country regards as simply puerile, IN
view of the momentous issues which
are to be decided. And, under this
aspect of the case, the election Of Grant is
simply impossible. Ifhe were the greatest
statesman and purest patriot of the age
he could not carry the weight which
radical tyranny and radical blunders
have imposed on him. On the other
hand, if the Republican party had not
already forfeited all claims to the conf
deuce of the people, it would risk defeat
with such candidate as Grant.
The nomination of Colfax is a late
sacrifice TO the demands of decency.
Wade's vote on the impeachment was
enough to disgust even the violent
partisans who urged him to 1T and
doubtless this influence contributed to
his defeat before the con vention. Colfax
is a confirmed radical; but he is man
of some ability, and he is free from the
repulsive peculiarities which are Wade
salient characteristics. N 0. Crescent
