Scaroelv could a more palpable uniruto be uttered than la oamevedin the spirit of those lour words, "onhi a singetliread;" because, though. It does use butono thread, it docs not make tae ordi nary single-thread eia'i, as Uioso words, In the sense there used, luiolv; but it rnakoi a new and different 6titch one that obviates the ver? de lict in tbe old single-thicad or chnin-stitco. to vhlch so much objection is made it? asserted liability to ravel. Moreover, the WiUcox fc GibbsstUoh if far heller than any made with too IhreaOs; and hence is destined, so soon as its merits are cenerally known, to supersrjle all the various dovh'e-'hrejtl s'i'ches now in use. And this is the rca'on why tho WiUcox & Oibbs Is so much, lesied; lor who will want to bolhor with Itco threads, when they find that one. is bettor? Atrain, whenever the Willcox & (libbs com pany sent on, canvassers to Introduce tneir machines in new localities, and establish Agon . cios lor their sale, they were suxo to encounter the same kind of ooposilion. Even their common rieht of competing for firemlunis at our Bcricultural aud mechanical alia has been so often tampered with that they have louuel it necesssrv to oDtnin, in advance, a guarantee of impartial treatment from the acting oflicers or manaers, beiore entering their ma chine lor competition at such fairs. Hut, though, thus deprived, by the course of the opposition, of tha advautuous ue of most ot the ordinary means of advertising, there was one the silent and irresistible influence of told machine? which no combination coald take away. Eflch machine sold waa a missionary. silently at work in its ovn neighborhood making converts to the faith. And converts became customers, and customers built up Asencies; and the pood' work went forward, slowly but surely. Thus the WiUcox & Oibbs, though, persecuted, has prosoored; though, op posed, has 6teadily progressed. It 13 still com paratively a new machine, having baen scarcely seven years In the market; yet it rauki already, .in the number ot machines sold, as the fourth "Sewing Machine" in use. And now that the iraternity, in the lat des perate elfort ot one of their number to bolster up their waning popularity, have siarnallv tailed; now that their boldness has furnished the Ions sought opportunity lor an honest and well-con-. tested pub'le tiial, aut put on record the result ot that trial for tho enligh'enment of the public, it requires, we think, no prophet to (ore.iee ilia accelerated progress ot the WiUcox and (Hbbs in the future, or to foretell its ultimate triumph as TIIH FBCOONIZED STANDARD SEWINO MaCIIINE OF TUB WOULD) LEGAL INTELLIGENCE. t Supreme Court at Nisi Prics Chief Justice Woodward. The Chief Justice this morning de livered the following important opinion: Wa'erman & Beaver vs. Tne Pnila lel;)hia and " Reading Hallroa i Company. At Nisi Pnus Caso' .stated. , The opiniou'of tho Court was delivered ' by Woodward, C. J. The constitutionality of he 97th section of the act of Congress of Juno 30, 1864, commonly called the "J5.cl3c law," being conceded, or rather not questioned, I a:n of opinion that the contract of the parties, though made before the law was passed, li within the purview ot the 1)7 th section, and that the iron manufactured under that contract is subject to the excise duties imposed by the act. By the act of July 1, 1862, railroad Iron was subject le a dutv ot one dollar and a half a ton, and pig iron, when used bv the manufacturer in making rails, was, 1 suppose, exempted from assessment by virtue of the 73d section of that But by Ihe act of 18(54 pig-iron is sub)t?ct to a ' duly, two aoliars per ton, aud the tax on rail road iron is raised to three dollars the ton, and one of the provisos of the Blth section (which is the bectiou that imposes these taxes) reads a3 follows: "Provided that castings of iron aud iron ot all descriptions advanced beyond pi,;, iron, blooms, slabs, or loops, upon which no duty has been assessed or paid, in the form of pig-irou blooms, slabs, or loop, shall be assessed and pay in addition to the foregoing rates ot iron bo advanced, a duty ol three dollars per ton." ' The meaning of this legislation is that pig iron should pay a duty of two dollar tho toa, and that railroad iron manufactured out of pig iron that has paid that duty shall itself bo assessed with three dollars the ton, but that railroad iron made of pig iron that has not beu assessed shall pay six dollars the ton. i As iherewas a largo amount of pig iron on hand when the- act ot 18ti4 wa9 parsed, which . was not lively to bo returned for assessment, the Legislature probably mcitut by the proviso to tax it in the tonu of rails, and as an inducement to manufacturers of rails to reuirn their pig iron lor assessment, the proviso makes the tax on rails something higher than it would oe it duty were paid on the pigs. It lakes one ton and seven twenty-fourths of a ton ot pig iron to make a ton of rails. At two dollars per ton tho pig iron that enters into a ton of railH would pay about $2-65 Add the duty on tne raus . And we have But if tha $265 be not paid on the , ig Iron, the rails shall pay per ton 8-0D S.VG5 C-00 Add difference of tax per ton of . 35 The plain tills are mauutacturers both of pig iron and railroad iron. They contracted with the defendants in February, 18G4, to nianufac i'acture and deliver 40UO tons of ra:!s, of which 16fi2'15-80 were by the terms of the contract to be delivered, and were actually delivered, after the 1st of July, 18G4. the date ot the act ol Con gress in question. These rails were raanut'uc 1 act u red out of pig iron, which the plaintiffs also nianuiacture, but whether before or after tlie date of the law is not uesertttiued in tae case etated. 1 It Is admitted, however, that bo dutv had ben paid on the pig iron tnat entered into these rails, and it is earnestly argued that no duty was assessable under the Act of 1804. because this pig iton was neither sold nor insured or used by the manufacturers. Pig iron U un doubtedly an article ot commerce, and it is equally certain that it was not sold as pia iron Ui this instance. But under the 04th section of the act it was taxable it "used by the mauuf.tc turer thereof." , These are the very worls of the enacting clause. And can it bo doubted that a manufac turer uses the pig iron when he converts, or, to use a statutory word, adoances it Into ra lroad iron, and then sells the rails f Pig iron is never U6ed without conversion or advancement into some other form of iron. Such conversion is, ' Indeed, the only use of which it is susceDtible, and 1 hold that the plaiutiil's "used" their pig iron witnin the meauiag ot the statute wh-a thev made rails of it. Thli conclusion, sufficiently supported byjthe words ot tho fUtli section, is strongly corrobo rated by the 83d and 86th sections of the same act. Then It should have been returned for a4ses ment, audshuld have paid tha prescribed duty of two dollars the ton, but a no duty w-is assessed or paid noon it. the rails manufactured out of it are within the terms of the provisi to the 94th section, and liable to "pay in addition to the foregoing rates of iron so advanoed a duty of three dollars per ton." That is, the rails are ubleot to a duty ef six dollars per ton. It was suggested that U the plaintiff, through neglect of a public duty, had subjected the de fendants to a higher rate ol taxation than was necessary, the plamtitl should bear th los. However equitable this might be, I have no power, under the case stated, to aliust the equity. I am only empowered to entwr ludgnient for one of several fixed sums of money according to the view I may take of the meau- lnp t the several provisions of the satu'o bear ing on the snhleet.

CLARES, TUB LATB FAT ING TELLER. i PurRFMR Court at Nim Prius Judge Strong. TLc Commercial National Bank vs. B twin 11. Cope, Same vs. Edward C. Wayne, Same vs. Hiriini Miller. Tbcse three cases are actions brouabt cm the bond of Charles E, Clarke, the late pacing teller of the Commercial Bank, lor the falttttil discharge of his dnt'.ei as uch jpay inj teller, on whith the dulecdants are suretij?, to recover trom them the amo int thereof, to wit, $16,01.0. The transactions out of which these ict on grow is of such a recout. dto, and attracted so much public Httontion. that but a briei reference to tho main facts is necessary to explain thon. . In May, 1865, Mr. Clartfr, the paying toller of tie Bank, lelt his desk ostensibly to be gone b it for a tew minutes. Not returning, however, an Investigation of his accounts was made by the officers ol the Bank, and it was fouud there was a dpticienev of over $10(1.000. On the next morn- in, hen tho returns were made tromine clear ing bouse of the Bank", that made to tho Com mercial Bank disclosed the tact that Mr. Clarke had issued the due bills of the Bank to the amount of $310,0)0 and upwards the total amount ot his defalcation thus bein increased to S3!'8.000. His suiettes were aotiiled of this. aud subsequently these actions were instituted to recover ou their bond. Tho cane was put on trial yesterday after our report had rlosed, and the plaintiifs, alter prov ing tho official position of Jir. CI irke iu tho Bank, the bend sued on, and tho extent and nature ot tho delalcntlon. closed their case. Objection was tairon by tne defendants' counsel to the ndnnsFion ol tne bond in evidence, on in? giound tnat it had not been properly stamped, it appearing that tho st imp had been cancelled after the dale of tho execution of the bond, but the Court overruled the objection, and permitted it to go in evidence. ' The defense was opened this raorntDg. . Thev set up that tho def alcation and loss to the Bank was the consequence, or rather result, of the negligence of tte oflicers ot the Bink, either through their implicit conudonce in Mr. Clarke, or their ind'sposition to perform their dutyot examining hisj aocounts. That in October, 1864. when the Commercial Ban K was changed into a National Bank, all the assets ot the old Bank passed into the possession ot ttie'new Institution, and tnat then tho accouuts of Mr. Clarke, if examined, as they (should have been, -would have disclosed a dcQ'ciency exhting since 1863. That subsequently these del'cndanis were Induced to become sureties of Mr. Clarke on his bond; mouths after he had been elected to his position in the new Bant, bv this vary apparent confidence of the Btukin its .olllcars. Tttiy thereloie coute id that by the neglct of these ollicers the loss has been incurred, and that tbev should not be held liable for that which the Bank could, by the exercise ot due care and vigilance, rave preventer!. It is also contended that the bond, is not pro perly stamped in accordance with the require ments of the act of Congress, aud therei'oro 13 invalid and void; that, tor tho duo bills issued by Mr. Clarke to Messrs. Seal, Harper, Durnoy & Co., etc. etc., either payment has b3en made or equivalent .satisfaction; and that, in addition, these due-bills were unstamped, anl therefore illegal and void.

James Thuckcr, Veterinary Surgeon, and a man of close observation, und high abilities lu the Madras Presidency, has been engaged in watching the progieas and oilects ot the disease. lie says tnat tbe munain is an epidemic, cmr.t- gious typhoid lever, whicn commences in a general congestion, with a mucus aijcharmi Irom the eves and nostrils, fullowud by inflam mation of the 'ttbomasura" or last corapartmo it of the stomach and intestine.
