SEWING MACHINES.

TN PRESENTING TO YOUR NOTICE, FOX
J. the fiji list time in an extended way, the I. +.
FAMILY FAvoRITE) WEED SEWING-MA-
CHINE, we will state some of the reasons why
we think we are justified in claiming 1t to be the
BEST $500. 4. ........ s-a.-..-. III. /.
BECAUSE, before being offered to the people,
1t was tested by able sewing -machinists, and by
them 20 pronounced; M
BECAUSE, It took the first prize at the great
Paris Exposition in 1857
BECAUSE, IL took the first prize at the great
four weeks contesi between sewing machines at
the Baltimore (bIarylahd) Institute in 1863
BECAUSE. 1t win do what any other first
class lock stitch will do; p.
BECAUSE, il will do what most Of them can
not do We say this without disparagement TO
the merits Of other machines;
BECAUSE, In the five years II has been before
the people, the sale has been 80 rapid that the
company have been unable TO supply the de-
mard thus leaving Virginia and a great part OF
the country unsupplied and last, but not least,
to give a womans reason, ~
BECAUSE, 1t is just little darling" and SO
easy to learn.
Price the same as any other first-class machine
Sold on the instalment plan, II desired.

WHY NOT SAVE FIFTY CENTS TO ONE

times are SO very hard Everybody must have

we are selling coal of all kinds at from fifty
cents to one dollar twenty-five cents cheaper

THURSDAY EVENING, DEC. IA, 1871,

labored editorial (the first Of series, to be |
continued until the Funding bill is safe) in
which it details upon honesty in the abb
stract quoting from the goth chapter of
Exodus, down to the history of the United
States relating to Mississippi.
The argument reads so near rerbdtim
speech made by prominent advocate of
the bill, in the House Of Delegates last
session, (who is now promoted to senator
ship,) that q copy of that feeling appeal,
must have been "laid up in lavender" for
future use. Like all such arguments, it is
one-sded, and it is difficult to say whether
erason OF omission is its most important
feature. 'If the State sells its bond to
poor widow woman, bearing six per cent.
interest, the poor woman has right to her
interest" None will deny the soundness
of the general proposition but when you
call upon other poor women to pay the
happy poor woman, who is so fortunate as
to hold State bond, not only principal and
interest, but interest upon interest; and col
lect the tax necessary to pay this by levy
upon property which has not paid them
even simple interest; we think this is a
description of Righteousness which goes
beyond uprightness, and leans backward.
But in the funding bill, the fine code OF
financial morality, OF which the Enqui' e.
seems SO enamored, finds no place.
1t deliberately proposes to take from the
poor widow, who is so unfortunate as to
own State bonds, one-third of what leglti-
mately belongs to her, and give her
something that belongs to other poor wild
ows who do not own bonds.
For example, your widow woman"
owns
Virginia State bonds at six per cent.
interest'''''' 80 ieo o w w
Due thereon every ten years, interest''."'. 6o "
$3.50 o.
The State owes her 800 bearing six pei
cent. interest, and $50 not entitled to inter
est.
BY funding bill the following arrange
ment is made:
Bond and leo
Onj third suspended...... % )
Amount Of new bond. Sl06
The bondholder thus becomes entitled t
800 original principal, s6.40 annual inter
est, and in addition holds according to Gov
Walker, who says Virginia is liable for tn
pl.ols amount Of the debt prior TO 1851
a further claim upon the State {
$3.50, on which interest is accruing 0
the rate of per cent, 1920 per annum
Now this looks more generous than just
but it is, in fact, neither generous to tn
original creditor. nor just TO Taxpayers.
If the suspended $3.50 is a valid claim
the holder of 900 bond, on which, as
poor widow woman, she is entitled to 8
per annum interest, receives and is to IT
ceive $50 per annum interest, 500 interes
capitalized, and 800, amount of origins
bond, and every poor widow woman in tn
Commonwealth, who is so poor as not
own bonds, is to be mulcted other substant
to meet this extraordinary financial genel
osity.
ST is our dmyto return The ,catch," say
the Enquirer; and if we borrowed watc
with gold guard chain attached, it is OF
duty to return both watch and guard; b.
if we. borrowed watch without gold gual
chain, It is not incumbent upon US to a
tach one thereto and present it with Il
watch. except as a matter of gratuity.

made to so amend and commit the report.
The whole subject was finally disposed of

stitute the following: "That this House
concur in message Nd. 2 of the House of
Bishops to this House." This message was
received yesterday, and consents TO and
ratifies the formation Of new diocese
within the limits of the diocese Of Penn
sylvsnis, to be composed of all thst part
OF said diocese outside of the counties Of
Philadelphia, Delaware, Chester, Mont
