The WHEELER & WILSON
Sewing Machine, the Champion.
THE UNIVERSAL VERDICT.

The Wheeler and Wilson, as is we'll
known, has won at nearly every trial in
which it has competed, the highest award
of merit The representatives Of other ma
chimes have entered the list time and again
only TO be defeated, and finding it impos-
sib!e to compete fairly have cndeavored to
dccry the value of premiums. They are
not slow, however, to boast of the few they
have received. But in the Grand Trial.
Daily use throughout the world where only
true merit gains fayor,an super GRITTY
wins the race, the Wheeler & Wilson Sew
ing Machine stands triumphantly the
champion, by the verdict Of the people, as
shown by the number manufactured and
sold by the several Sewing Mabhine COM
panies, from the start up to the expiration
| of the time Of the Howe Patent Sept, 10Th,

Emigration to the South.

FROM he ~. Y. Tribune
We receive almost every day inquiries
about Southern lands from NoHhern farmers
who want to emigrate. 1t is impossible for
us to advise all these correspondents as to
particular localities, for country that would
suit one would not suit all. We are glad to
perceive that the Southern railroad companies
have combined to facilitate the diffusion of
information respecting these millions of rich
acres which await the hand OF industry, and
to diffuse it, too, in the only way which can
be of much practical use, namely, by enabling
farmers to go and spy out the land for them
selves. A convention OF officers, representing
between thirty and forty roads, met in At
lanta on the 4th of January, and adopted q
system OF excursion tickets, at greatly re
duced rates, fer actual settlers or for persons
who wish to examine the country with a view
to settlement or investment. There is a vast
extent of country between the Potomac, Ohio,
and Mississippi rivers where skilled labor
is badly wanted, land cheap, and nature
prodigal Of her gifts to those who have the
industry to gather them. The regeneration
of this region we believe is to be effected by
the sturdy farmers of the North. But 1t has
been difficult for them to select homes in the
South. The distances are great, and fares on
the Southern roads are very high. This new
arrangement will remove the difficulty.
Holders of excursion certificates will be taken
| at the rate of two cents a mile over any OF the
thirty odd roads which have joined in the
agreement, and actual settlers at the rate of
one cent mile. A great number of leading
hotels in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mis-
| sissippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Vir-
einia, and Georgia will deduct one-third from
their usual charges in favor of the same per-
sons. Most of the roads in question are in
the Southwest, forming complete network
from Louisville to New Orleans, Mobile, and
Charleston; but there are some also in Vir-
ginia and North Carolina.
Fuller particulars as to roads and distances,
and the conditions on which excursion GER
| tificates are granted, can be obtained of G. M.
Huntington, No. 229 Broadway, New York
The arrangement is to remain in force until
the 1st of July.

ant places have teen used with utter disre-
gard for the interests Of honest citizens or the
extent to which they might be jeopardlzed
and injured.
In the selection OF candidate for the In
ternal Revenue CommissioDership, General
Grant must exSeot an immense pressure on
the part of the "whisky ring" Eyery inau-
epce, of course, will be brought to bear, and
every expedient resorted TO which human in
eenuity can suggest by those whose interest
1t is to secure q man for the place who will
lend himself, either directly or indirectly, to
their designs. The ring are perfectly we'll
aware that, with q competent and upright
man in the Office, the frauds in whisky, which
are going on to this day in the open market
and under the very nose of the officials, would
be broken up. 1t is idle to talk of Mr.. Rol-
lips' probity or capacity while his bureau is
in the condition il is-a condition of disorRaui-
zation and decentralization, not to say corrup-
tion. 1t is not much to his credit that he has
permitted his whole Office to be run by a
clique who have reoklessly triAed with the
national interests. If he had been mentally
fit for the post he has so long disgraced and
so stubbornly held in defiance of the popular
condemnation of his conduct, the whisky and
tobacco frauds throughout the country would
never have thriven as they have DONE that
is, assuming him to really be what his frieuds
claim that he is-,horoughly honest. He
would have purified his bureau, broken up
the pernicious set of understrappers who
have worked the Office business in their own
interest, and displaced some individuals W no
are strongly suspected OF corruption.
General Grant should understand, in m aking
a choice for the place, that simple honesty
alone is not sufficient. What is wanted is
combined integrity and ability-abiltty of
high order; and until the post is thus filled,
there will be no improvement over the pre-
sent order of things. At this hour, illicit
whisky floods the market, even under the low
rate of tax, which it was confidently and rea-
sonably expected would insure honest pay
ment upon the whole dutiable production.
With energy, determination, and ability at
the head of this bureau, there would be no
such condition of things. Let General Grant
put an honest and capable man in Rollins
place, and the country will soon perceive the
difference between the results of an efficient
and ine fficient administration.

largely contributed. Mr.. Bright is the very
man TO take mp the question OF cheap ocean
postage. II is one of those rovements
which to prove successful requires only the
advocacy of such mau. The times ara rips
for a change. There is but one argument
that can be used against ocean penny post-
age-that it will not pay. This, however. is
al argument that has no solid foundation to
rest upon. All the facts are against IL. Il ia
truth which cannot bs gainsaid, that in pro-
portion as national and international postage
has been cbeapened, SO has 1t become ser
vicesble and 50 has it proved remuuerative.
The ties which now bind Great Britain TO the
United States are so numerous aud so strong
that facilities for the communication of thought
and feeling, not to speak of more substantial
interchaDges, for the present cannot be sufi-
ciently multiplied. A two cent postage be-
tween this country and Great Britain would be-
Immediately followed by similar arrange
mept between this country and Germany. The
arrangement would be gain to all concerned.
II would be special gain to the United
States, for which reason We hope, not merely
that Mr.. Bright will keep up the FIRE, but th at
IT will be warmly responded to on this side.
The thing has but to be started to prove a
euccesg.

From 1se NJ y Times
We regret to lind that we wounded the

Az bjt of what we deemed harmless badinage
e., ,eoard To the Cabinet, the other day. We
aid not think it possible he could Do onendea
NV n as he had not seemed to be by the much
more elaborate, and less evident, badinage OF
tba San about his going as Minister 10 Eng-
land. We are quite willing TO conceoe the
sscbaanness of the wit, hut we demur to ths
,mnntation of "disoourtesy." Meantime we
know of no better service we can render, oy
wav of atonement, than to give currency w
the TIibune'S assurance:-
"The Times may as well now state the weil' 5

rally obyiated any necessity Ior uecAhlus

That is quite true, and possibly It is that,
and that alone, which has generally saved
him the necessity of declining at all. But
ue presume it is his we'll understood willing
mass TO accept the Office Cana possibly 1t was
tbat alope) which has led to his name being
en- generally connected with the position of
Postmaster General. But on the strength OF
the TribuneS rather petulant protest, We feel
ouite at liberty to withdraw 1t from the jooose
programme we ventured to publish two or
three DAYS ago. Any other one of the gentle
men mentioned can have his name withdrawn
on application; but We advise them to do, as
Mr.. ii. Greeley has not done-wait till they
are appointed before they decline.

Mullins
From The ". 7. World.

pTOTn TIE Ns L. HOTtU
Will the Honorable Mu llins, of Tennessee,
have the goodness to let the Angel Gabriel
alonei In general way, we have no parti-
cular objection to Mullins. He is to the ave-
rage stupidity and monotonousness of the
average radical member OF Congress in this
country what the late Colonel Sibthorp SO
long was to the average stupidity and monoto-
nousness ofthe average Tory member of Parlia-
ment in Great Britain. Mullins cheers us,
and, as we are glad to believe, without inebri-
atipg himself. Mullins sober is more muddled
and more amusing than nine in ten Of his
colleagues would be drunk. Mullins on
mules, for example, on Friday entertained
the House and the country very agreeably;
and the gifts Of Mullins, in the character OF
''Mark Antony" pronouncipg funeral orations,
have heretofore received in these columns n .
stinted praise or Inadequate exposition. II
would really crafty us to have Mullins
both praise and bury the vast majority OF his
| fellow. members. But we decidedly object to
the interference of Mullins with the Angel
| Gabriel In one of his 'obsequious' ora
tions, the other day delivered, Mullins alluded
to the trumpet of Gabriel as catastrophe, u
and now in financial speech he turns the
| Archapgel into an artillerymaD, and declares
| that certain things will not be achieved unit
"Gabriel snaps his resurrection gun!" w,
| pray Mullins to understand, once for ALL tina
| the Angel Gabriel is no radical. His "trum
pet" is trumpet not of self-praise but o
Judgment; and instead of cannonadng the
universe, the Angels chief connection will
our poor human history has been to announc
the coming upon earth of the Prince OF Peace
We do not require of Mullins either discours
of reason or actions of wisdom. But we pro
test, in the name of piety aud decorum
against his irreverent and ignorant misrepre
sentation OF anything more sacred than tn
"troely lOil' sentiment of Eastern Tennessee
