BUILDING PERMITS. I'VE urge upon
the Council the necessity and propriety of
requiring the issue of permits for all build
ings, OF whatever character, to be erected
in Richmond in the future. The system
has been found indispensable in all the
large and growing cities in the country, and
would be valuable regulation here.--
Much as Richmond has improved during
thepast year, there is, perhaps, no tangible
record of its growth, no data comatable by
which q reliable statement of our prosper
.ity in that respect can be made. A cor
rect record Of the size, style, cost, and To-
cation Of all buildings, and improvement ON
buildings, should be kept by city
authority, not only for the conve-
nicnce ofi'publicai information, but in
order that the. authorities may guard
against weak and dangerous structures, and
Che multiplication Of colnhustible tenements
within certain limits. Legislation by the
council in this respect, it seems to us, is
highly desirable, and we respectfully sug-
gest early action in the matter. Let us
systenatize things, in order that at the end
Of another year we can tell how far we
have travelled and what we have done. A.
city should be able to give an annual bal
ance sheet as full and perfect and correct as
is required from the manager of a private
corporation.

BIRD. THE BIGAMIST-Hts Hscdrce7u-
lion IN the Penaent,a2y.- Thomas r. Bird,
of Alexandria, sometime since convicted in
that city of bigamy, and sentenced to the
penitentiary for three years, was received
at that institution on yesterday, the Cover
nor having refused to grant the pardon
asked for by Mr.. Bird.
The jury which convicted him recon-
mended him to Executive clemency, and a
numerously signed petition was also pre-
sented his EXcellency, asking pardon for
Mr.. Bird. The petition was signed by
clergymen, ladies and the very best cti-
zens of Alexandra, generally; and if these
good men could see reason why this old
man should be pardon, surely our Cover
nor might be merciful. s
There are extenuating circumstances
connected with the crime, and no man
ought to know their character better than
Mr.. Walker. His mistaken idea that the
people Of the State will applaud his tln-
mcrcifnl course has much to do with his ac-
tons III this case we fear. The final result
of it will be an Imprisonment for short
time, the disgrace Of wearing stripes, and
then Executive clemency, q form indeed
cruel to the unfortunate man, distressing to
his friends, and that will give His Excellency
no ccidt. 9 a
Away with ceremony, since there are
none who know the facts of the case who
want to see this old man, on the verge of
the grave, thus unnecessarily punished.

(FAMILY FAVORITE) WEED SEWING-MA-
CHINE, We will state some of the reasons why
think we are justified in claiming it to be the
BEST:
BECAUSE, before being offered to the people,
1t was tested by able sewing -machinists and by
them so pronounced
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
Paris Exposition in 1867 s4st
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
four weeks contest between sewing machines ut
the Baltimore (Maryland) Institute in 1869;
BECAUSE, 1t will do what any other first
class lock-stitch will do; rfy
BECAUSE, ii will do what most of them can
not do We say this without disparagement to
the merits of other machines;
BECAUSE, in the I'VE years it has been before
the people, the sale has been so rapid that the
company have been unable to supply the de-
mand, thus leaving Virginia and great part of
the country unsupplied; and last, but not least
TO give q wolnan's reason,
BECAUSE, it is just little darling and so
easy to learn. tt. g
Price the same as any other first-class machine
Sold on the nstalnent plan, if desired.
Machines sent on trial and instruction given
