Sfirfori) Inquirer. BKBFffBB, PA.. FKill.ll Jl \K 1, ISfiS, CNIttN BEPI BLRAX STATE TICKET, :?FUR GOVERNOR, MAJ. GEN. JOHN W. GEARY, OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY. A GLIMPSE AT THE RECORD. The friends of Heister Clymcr, who in one short year have turned from vehement denunciations of the war and the sbidiers, to ardent protestations of love for all who wore the army blue, and who are now asking the soldiers to vote for Clyrner, will no doubt be edified by a few extracts from the political record of Heister Clynier aud his coadju tors. On the 2nd of April, 1864, the fal lowing resolution passed the State Senate : Resolved, That our representatives in Cou gress be retjuesied to vote for, and use their influence for the passage of a law increasing ihe pay of private soldiers aud non-commis sioned officers in the army of the United States. On the final j*ssage of the resolution the yeas and nays were rei|uircd by Mr Beards iee and Mr, CLYMER, and were as follows, vi* ; Ykis.— Messrs. Champneys, Connell, Dun- Jap, Fleming, Graham, liege, Householder, Johnson, Kinsey, Lowry, McCandless, Nich ols. Ridgway, St. Clair, Turrell, Wl' on Wor thiugton and Penny, Speaker. —lß. NAVS. —Messrs. Jieardslee. Backer, t'LY MBR, Donovan. Glatz. Hopkins, Lamber ion, Lai fit, M' Skerry, Montgomery, lleilly, Smith, Stark, Stein and Wallace. —15. Every Democrat but Kinsey. of Bucks county, voted against increasing the pay of the Soldiers. Where was the love of Clvuier and his friends, for the soldiers at that time ? Why was there but one solitary Democratic vote in favor of increasing the soldier's hard earned wages? This is one of the friendly acts the soldier will remember. Among the amendments to the State Constitution, pro posed the same year will be found the fol lowing Section: Section IV. Whenever any of the qualified electors of the Commonwealth shall be in any military service under a requisition from the I resident of the 1 nited States, or by the authority of this Commonwealth, such elect ors may exercise the right of suffrage in all elections oi the citizens, under such regula tion- as are or shall be prescribed by law. as fully as if they were present at their usual places of election. The vote in the final passage of this amendment on the Senate stood as follows: Chamnneys, Connell, Dun lap, Fleming, Graham, Hogc Householder, Johnson, Kinsey, Lowry, -M'Candies*. Nich ols, Ridgway, St. Clair, Turrel. Wilson, YY orthiugton, and Penny.— 18. NATS— Messrs. Donovan. Imtta, Beardslee, M cherry. Montgomery, Smith and Wallace. Means. Bucket, CLYMER, Glatz. Hopkins, Lambert on, Reilhj, Stark and Stem, all Copperheads, dodged the ques tion. What an intense love for the soldier is here again evinced by Clymcr and his friend-! The soldiers keenly appreciate this left handed friendship and will no doubt give an overwhelming expression of their gratitude in October. YVANTED—A CANDIDATE. After a long and patient, but fruitless search for some respectable soldier as a can didate lor Governor the Cops were at last obliged to accept Heister Clymer. Nomina ted with the mere fhadow of a hope, that shadow has since vanished and the party has been seeking high and low for some one who would consent to come out as a Cowan- Johnson candidate, behind whose shadow Clymer might in due time be withdrawn. After a careful search and a great deal of skilful manipulation it was confidentially whispered among those initiated into the mysteries of party wire-pulling that a can didate had been found, and that Col. Dick Coulter was the coming man. As in their previous attempts to inveigle gallant sol diers into their ranks by promises of office, so in this, they mistook their man and were indignantly repulsed with the information that the doughty Colonel did not wish to be taken for a fool. Here is a nomination to be had for the asking, provided however, that the applicant can show, either, that he has no record at all, or that he has been a staunch Union man, but has never said or done anything against the rebels, or, that he has been a firm friend of the soldier but never advocated an increase of his pay nor his right to vote. Who bids? Don't all speak at once. THE CONNECTICUT SENATOIt. It is with unqualified pleasure that we an nounce to our readers the concurrence of the Connecticut Senate in the election of Gen. 0. S. Ferry to the U. S. Senate. Gen. Ferry after arduous service in the field was appointed commander of the Department of the Juniata with his headquarters at this place. During his sojourn among us his courteous manners and gentlemanly de portment wou for him the highest esteem of all whose good fortune it was to make his acquaintance. He is a fine scholar, an able lawyer and will fill with credit the high and responsible position to which his native State has promoted him. A staunch Un ion man who has seen and met rebels in the field and traitors at home, he will not shrink from doing his part to prevent them from gaining by trickery in Congress what they so ignominiously failed to win upon the bat tle-field. GREAT OUT-LAY AND NO INCOME.— The Copperhead press throughout the country, ever since Johnson's accession to the Presi dency, has never ceased to be-spatter him with its fulsome flattery, but up to this time there has been no recompense for this wholesale hypocrisy, unless now and then a Radical Republican has been dismissed to make way tor some one who will prostitute his principles to secure place. What a work of love this must be on their part! Many of them are realizing, however, that it ''don't pay," and are becoming more and more disgusted with the party for the ridi culous figure that it has cut before the in telligent world. Every now and then one can be seen to slink off casting a few discon solate epithets at the head of him who is left alone in all ' 'his glory.'' This latter class has learned to its cost that it is a great out-lay and no income, 3-jjrMr. Cowan and his Copperhead friends are very industriously engaged in circulating documents in favor of "My pol icy'" in this county-. The tuail appears to be laden down with tlteui. Mr. Cowan will please understand that the people of this county were a little too close to the theatre of war to vote the reconstructed rebels, whose hands are yet reeking with the blood of their kinsman into Congress to control the country which they were willing to sacrifice the last man and the last dollar to destroy. The Copperhead County Convention for this county has been called for the iyth of this month. There appears to be a most desperate scramble for place. There are only nine or ten candidates for Sheriff, with about the same proportion for the other of fices. It is generally understood arnon? the loaders her.! that Mr. Shannon is to be re nominated lor Prothonotary aud that Mr. William Keyser, of Juniata, is to be the candidate for Sheriff. This may be un wholesome news to some of the lesser lights but it is only too true. l>ts"*Hon. Edgar Cowan of the United Ftates Senate, and Hon. J. K. More head, Hon. A H. Coffioth, Hon. Ed. McPher son and Hon. C'has. O'Neal, of the House of Representatives, will accept our thanks for valuable public documents. IttF* When Gov. Curtin first ran for Governor, in 1860, the Democrats got up a stoty that he shot a poor man's dog, and they insisted that he was a great tyrant and purse proud aristocrat. Similar stories, suited to the times, arc now going the rounds of the Copperhead papers in regard to Gen. Geary. One appears in the Gettys burg Compiler, semi-ltebel, in which it is stated that Gen. G once knocked down an intoxicated private with his fist for neglect ing properly to salute him. Another story is that he refused to cat at a hotel table be cause a private soldier was sitting at one end of it. These are about equal to the Curtin dog story—and quite as destitute of truth. Copperhead newspapers place a very low e.-timatc on the intelligence of their readers when they print such stuff. — Raid ing Journal, SHALL DESERTERS VOTE. Are Non-Reporting Dratted .Men Enti tled to Vote—Why the Law Disfran chising Deserters in Pennsylvania has not been Signed. Thursday last, the Franklin county deser ter case came up on an appeal for hearing before the Supreme Court in session at Har risburg. The facts in the case are briefly stated as follows : Henry Reiiley, the plain tiff. a citizen of Franklin counts*, was draft ed into the military service of the United States on the 10th day of July, 1804, and having been regularly served with a notice of his conscription, he refused and never did report to the Provost Marshal of the Sixteenth District for service in the army of the United States, nor did he famish a sub stitute. or pay the required sum of money therefor. When the plaintiff in this case offered to vote in the township of Hamilton, county of Franklin, on the 10th day of Oc tober, 1865, the Judge of the Election re fused to receive his vote, on the ground that the plaintiff wa- a deserter from the military service of the United State-, and in conse quence thereof was disfranchised by the act of Congress providing for the enrolling and calling out of the National forces, approved the 2d day of March, 1865. When the case came up in the Franklin couuty court, on the suit of Henry Reiiley vs. Renjaruin Huber, judge of election, judgment was rendered against, the defend ant iu favor of the plaintiff, for one dollar and costs of suit, thereby annulling the law of Congress, and relieving all deserters, heretofore citizens of Pennsylvania, so far as the decision of the lower court is con cerned, from the penalty of disfranchise ment Benjamin Huber, defendant below and plaintiff in error, now asks to be relieved of this fine as having been illegally imposed, urging in support of his action as a judge of the election, in disfranchising Ilcnry Reilley. that Reilley's forfeiture of his right as a citizen of the United States includes the forfeiture of his rights a3 an elector in the State of Pennsylvania. On this point the suit was biought before the Supreme court. The following communication on the sub ject was received by the judges from Attor ney General Meredith : ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE:, | HAURISRUHG, Pa., May 23, 18G6. j MY DEAR SIRS: I understand that a case involving the question of the constitution ality of the act of Congress which provides for the disfranchisement of deserters will be heard before you to-day. It was my pur pose on hearing that ease as an anucm cu ri<r to make or ally the statement which I now beg leave to present to the court in writiug. The physical disability under which I am temporarily laboring will, I hope, afford a ground for your kind indulgence in the adoption of this mode of communicating with the court. Shortly before the termination of the last session, a bill was sent to the Governor for his approval, providing for carrying into ef fect, so far as relates to the exercise of suf frage in this Commonwealth, the enactment of the act of Congress referred to. Under standing that one or more cases involving the question of the constitutionality of that act of Congress would be presented for your decision at the present term, he thought that a due observance of that respect for and obedience to the law as adjudicated by the highest tribunal in the Commonwealth, which have always been prominent charac teristics of our people, required that he should await, if possible, the result of your decision. As the provisions of that bill are proba bly uot otherwise known to the court, I beg to suggest that, if it should become a law, a very considerable time will be required to make the necessary thorough examination of the military records of the United States and to prepare the detailed list which it di rects to be transmitted to the offices of the respective Courts of Quarter Sessions, and to afford suffie'ent time, between such trans missions and the general election, to the persons whose names may be on the list, to obtain the evidence of any mistake which may have occurred in regard to themselves individually. I conceive it to be my duty to bring these circumstances to the attention of this court, that they may be apprised of the great pub lic interests that seem to invite an early an nouncement of their judgment cn the ques tion. I am, with great esteem, truly yours, WM. M. MEREDITH, Attorney General of Pennsylvania. The case was then argued before the full bench of Justices, Hon. John Cessna ap pearing for the plaintiff' in error. He was lollowed by J. McDowell Sharp for the de fendant in error, and the argument was closed by Col. A. K. McClure for the plain tiff. The argument on footh sides was excel lent. The prevailing opinion is that a ma jority of the court will sustain the constitu tionality of tho law of Congress disfranchis ing deserters. STATE Or TIfE COUNTRY; The following resolutions upon the state of the country, Were passed by the General Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Uuitcd States at its recent convention in the City of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Whereas, The fast two sessions of the General Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the United States, held respect ively in the years 1882 and 181>4, at Lancas ter and York, in the State of Pennsylvania, were both held during the prevalence of a calamitous civil war ; and Whereas, at both said sessions, the Gen- Synod, besides carefully enunciating its views in reference to the origin of -aid war, and the great issues at stake, also offer ed fervent prayers to Almighty God, for the speedy return of peace, based on the princi ples of His own truth and righteousness; be it therefore Resolved , That we do hereby, as a Gen eral Synod, greatly rejoice that our present sessions are held under circumstances, and amid surroundings which are in such grate ful and happy contrast with those which at our former sessions filled our hearts with so much anxiety and grief. Resolved , That not abating a jot or tittle of the declaration of principles tliep solemn ly pat forth, we do now join in ascriptions of praise and power and glory uuto Ilim who is the Author of all our mercies and the Source of all our blessings, that He has caused the desolations of war to cease in our land, and that peace once more sheds its be nign influence over every part of our na tional domain. Resolved , That in these, our thanksgiv ings, we include, as among the most obvious occasions of them, the final victory which He was graciously pleased to vouchsafe to our gallant army and navy—the preserva tion of the Government and its associated institutions from meditated, forcible over throw —aud the removal from among us of the curse of slavery, in whose interest and for whose extension the war was inaugura ted and prosecuted. Resolved, That the widows aud orphans which the rebelliou has made, are the lega cy of the nation, and that it behooves the Church to unite with the States and Gener al Governments in extending to them all possible sympathy, succor, and support. Resolved , That to the millions of bond men, who by the vicissitudes of war haze been so suddenly and strangely translated into a state of freedom, the country owes its most benificeut and paternal guardian ship, to the end that they suffer no detri ment from neglect or abuse, but be strength ened, comforted and assisted in which great .duty the Church of Christ cannot aud must not be found tardy or relinquent. Resolved, That we share in the enlight ened and spontaneous sentiment of the peo ple of this land, and of all other lands, in exj ressions of profoundest sorrow, because of the violent death of President Abraham Lincoln, whose memory as a Patriot, a Statesman, and the highest type of a Phi lanthropist, we cherish and revere, and whose invaluable services to our nation, and to the cause of the suffering and oppressed, we shall ever hold in grateful and affection ate remembrance. The report was received with enthusiasm and adopted by a rising vote, after which the Convention united in singing: "My Country, 'tis of thee, 4c." GENERAL GRANT SPEAKS OUT. His Views on the Situation. The Lewistown (Maine) .Journal gives a report of an hour's conversation between the Editor and General Grant, in which, if the report is correctly given, the Lieutenant General appears to have spoken out more freely than he commonly does. He is re ported to have said there were some parts of the country where our armies had never trod, particularly Texas which needed to feel the blighting effects of the war to bring tiiei." people to a realizing sense of the enor mity of their crime and the necessity of a thorough repentance. 1 find, said he, that tbo-e parts of the South which have not felt the war, and particularly those which have been within our lines, and have therefore escaped the rebel conscription and taxes, are much less disposed to accept the situation in good faith than those portions which have been literally overrun with fire and sword. Referring to the temper of the Southern people, he remarked that they are much less disposed now to bring themselves to the proper frame of mind, than they were one year since. A year ago. said he. they were willing to do anything. Now they regard themselves as masters of the nation. Some of the rebel generals, be added, arc- behaving nobly and doing all they can to induce the people to throw aside their old prejudices and to conform their course to the changed condition of things. Johnson and Dick Tay lor, particularly, are exercising a good in fluence, but, he added. I-iee is behaving badly. He is conducting himself very diff erently from what I had reason, from what he had said at the time of the surrender, to suppose he would. No man at the South is capable of exercising a tenth part of the influence for good that he is, but instead of using it he is setting an example of forced acquiescence as grudging and pernicious in its effects as to be hardly realized. The men who were in the rebel armies, said General Grant, acquiesce in the result much better than those who staid at home. The women are particularly bitter against the Union and Union men. Of course, he added, t here is some bitterness of feeling among some clas ses, but lam satisfied it would have soon died out if their leading men had not some how got the idea that treason, after all, wax not very bad, and that the Southern cause, as they term it, will yet triumph, not in war but in politics. In myjudgiuent, said Gen. Grant, the tone of certain men and certain papers in the North is such as to do incal culable mischief in making thelate rebels be lieve that they are just as much en*-tied to rule as ever, and that if they will only stand by what they are pleased to call their rights they will have help from the North. This, significantly added General Grant, is only playing over again the incipient stages of the rebellion. He was confident that the large majority of the Southern people would smother their resentment and become good citizens if the mischief at the North, the copperheads, would only let them alone. For himself, if he had the power, the first thing lie would do would he to seize the New York ATICS and kindred sheets, which are giving the South so dangerous an idea of their own position and rights. Troopssaid Gen. Grant must be kept in all the principal points in the South for some time to come. This will be necessary to repress the turbulence of a class of the South being dangerous to all well disposed persons, and also to protect the rights of the f'reedmen who are looked upon with deep hatred by a very large proportion of the people. The Academy of Music, University Med ical College, St. James' Lutheran Church, and several other adjoining buildings, were destroyed by a great fire in the City of New York, which broke out in the first named building on Monday mid-night. Two fire men were burned to death, and others were severely injured. The loss is set down at a full million of dollars. A resolution to appoint a Joint Committee of Congress to investigate tho action of the Freedmen's Bureau and its officers, has Jiassed the House. On the same day reso ations were passed in the House to sustain the President in executing the laws of the United States upon a sufficient number of leading Rebels to vindicate the majesty of the law. The bankrupt bill passed the House on Tuesday, 'l'llE KIIKOI'EAN CRISIS. Summary ol the Position of nrtairs. The ijominn telegraph, grouping and sifting ail the latest rumors concerning the the warlike movements in Europe, gives the following comprehensive statement of the position of affairs at the elosc of the second week in May : ' There is not one among the intending belligerent governments and nations—not even Prussia, with her well regulated state household—that could continue for any length of time to make the immense sacri fices an I bear the enormous burdens which the necessary preparations for war impose upon them. Austria more especially, who is already bankrupt, is certainly not in a po sition to spend something like one hundred thousand pounds a day for the maintenance of her very large army on the full war es tablishment. Moat of the great industrial establishments arc the silk and ribbon fac tories which used to occupy thousands of workmen. These are now throw-, upon the streets starving, and turn in their distress for employment and food to the govern ment. The notes of preparation arc, in fact, heard sounding from all sides. Bavaria is ready to appear in the field with 150.<X)0 men ; Wurtouiberg will furnish acontingent of 30.000 ; Baden, 20,000-; Saxony has put 40/(00 men on foot; LfotgtfvDarmstadt, 18,- 000 ; Hanover has raised her military force to 36,000. The mobilization of the Pruss ian army places a force of some 620,000 men at Count Bismarks disposal, including the reserves, of course, and the first ban of the Landwchr. ' Austria, 011 her part, disposes of some 650,000 men, ready to do the Emperor's biddiug. Italy has not less .than 400,000 men in arms. Wc have altogether, then about tiro millions of armed men simply waiting for the first signal ; and this is ex clusive, of course, of the French and Russ ian hosts, which together number about one and a half million men, more. Since the Auxerre speech there can be no doubt but that Belgium and Switzerland also have ta ken the alarm, and are beginning fc- pro vide again-1 possible contingencies. "Even frotn the far North we hear that one of the results of the present complica tions will be to hasten the reorganization of the military and naval forces of the United Kingdom of Sweden and Norway. From France we have the oninious statement, in addition to the significant Auxerre speech that the officers who, upon the late redue tion of the French Army, received appoint ments in the civil service on condition that they should return to military service if re quired, have—a certain number of them at least —received notice to prepare to their corps at a moment's notice, fen thousand men are on the point of being sent to Rome to reinforce the French army of occupation there, which, in the event of the war breaking out between Austria and Italy, is to tako the name of 'Army of ()b servatiort' —a name which miy mean much under the peculiar circumstances of the case, more especially as there is reason to believe that this intended increase of the French army in Rome has the fullest assent of the Italian government. "The King of Prussia. who was for a long time considered to ite rather adverse to his imperious minister's war policy, would now seem to have made up his mind defi nitely for hostilities. At least, at the re view last Sunday, he is said to have express ed himself somewhat in this fashion, in an address to the Officers of the First regiment of Guards : 'Gentlemen, lam sorry to say tbut the efforts of diplomacy are cxbausttd and that the moment has arrived when there remains nothing for us but to have recour-e to the sword. lam resolved to place my self at the head of my bravCand loyal army, and share all its dangers and privations." Although little is known about the actual movements of the Prussian troops, there can be no doubt, that a considerable force i now assembled on the frontier of -Saxony, and that a camp is being formed near the Bohemian frontier, where three corps will be stationed, under the command of Prince Fredrick Charles. A curious statement about Sauta Anna aiut Secretary Seward. The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, makes the following statement, upon his own responsibility, no doubt: It is known that Santa Anna came to this country through the influence of Secretary Seward. Santa Anna was expected last week. Friday, at which time, it will lie re membered, it was telegraphed over the country that Mr. Seward had gone to Au burn ; but the non-arrival of the steamer Georgia, upon which Santa Anna was, de layed his trip until Saturday, but still the vessel did not come. On Sunday Santa An na was announced. On Monday Mr. Sew ard, accompanied by his private Secretary, went in a private ear to Jersey Uity. reach ing Taylor s Hotel in that city at daylight on Tuesdav. Ho registered his own name unofficially, an I his Secretary, upon being requested to register, declined. Several men from Elizabeth port, where Santa An na's party is stopping, reached the hotel at a very early hour, and were in waiting for Mr. Seward. The interview lasted for some time, and, from the description given of one of the party, be is believed to be Santa An na himself. Mr. Seward left Jersey City at 11 A. M. the same day for Auburn. This is the second attempt t bat has been made to get Santa Anna into this country since Mr. Seward's interview with him at St.. Thomas last winter. The first effort failed, although a vekel was sent specially for him. "Upon the last occasion he was given to understand that if he expected to accomplish anything he must come here at once, because matters were in such a shape that further delay would be fatal to the proposed plans, what ever they were. Santa Anna's devotion to the libera! cause is believed to be nn arrang ed blind. The Colorado Senators and the Presi dent. A good joke is told of the President, in connection with the Colorado Senators, and lam disposed to believe it genuine When these gentleman first arrived here they called upon A. J. in company with a Senatorial friend, and found him congenial aud co-ope rative —ready not only to listen, but to ad vise. He regretted that he could not by proclamation admit the State at once, but as there was some difficulty growing out of the failure to comply with the provisions of the enabling act at an early day of the ses siou he referred them to Congress, express ing the belief that they woulJ be speedily admitted. A few evenings ago, during a business interview, the senator in question, who, notwithstanding he is a radical, still preserves friendly relations with ''the man at the other end of the avenue," quietly re marked to the President, "You did not al low our good Colorado friends to come in,as you promised us some time ago. lam very much afraid their polities do not suit you just; now." At which the President, who by this time should be accustomed to such reminders, could scarcely maintain his com posure, but he managed to observe to his Senatorial friend, "Well, all I have to say is that I have changed my mind."— l'reus. A New Orleans letter says that the sugar lands which lie along the banks of the navi gable streams are now chiefly devoted to cotton. During the war a good deal of the necessary machinery was destroyed, and much of the plant cane was lost. The plan ters have not bad the necessary moans to renew thoir material, and consequently sugar ceases for the time being to be a staple pro duct of Louisiana, notwithstanding the fact that she was once the third sugar-exporting country in the world. President Johnson is still doing a big business in granting pardons. Every Rebel who condescends to ask for it, is furnished with a pardon. Several persons convicted of robbing the mails, smuggling, counter feiting, and other offences, have recently received pardons; also three of the Alexan dria rioters who murdered and maltreated the Freedmen on last Christmas, aod were sentenced to the Albany Penitentiary, have been set at liberty. It is fair to add that in nearly every case the pardon is strongly rec ommended by leading and over kind Repub licans. THE Constitutionality of the act of Con gress disfranchising deserters, was argued in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in session at Harrisburg, on T'.ursdny the 24th ult. The plaintiff is Henry Reilley, of Franklin county, who was drafted in July, 1864, was served with a notice and did not report, and had his vote rejected by the judge of the election in Oetoiler, 1865. The case excites much interest, and its decision is of vital moment on many grounds. The bill in the hands of the Governor will doubt less he held by him until the Court decides the question. THE Harrisburg cov: cs:-K>ndeot of the Chainbersburg Rqmxitory say* that General Dick Coulter has rejected the role he was expected to play ttrserve Johnson and Cow an and defeat Geary. He has given the lit tle firm of corruptioniste notice, to use Dick's own rather emphatic than classical language that he "is not to be taken for a d d fool," and he declines to run for Governor or support Clymer.

The Grover nn-J Baker Elastic-Stitch .sewing Machines arc superior to all others for the follow ing reasons : 1. They sew direct frem the spools, and require no rewinding of thread. 2. They arc more easily understood and used, and less liable to derangement than other ma chines. 3. They are capable of executing perfectly, without change of adjustment, a much greater variety of work than other machines. 4. The stitch made by these machines is much more firm, elastic, and durable, especially upon articles which require to be washed and ironed, thun any other stitch. 5. This stitch, owing to the manner in which the under thread is inwrought, is much the most plump and beautiful in us;, and retains this plumpness and beauty cren upon articles frequent ly washed and ironed until they are Worn out. G. The structure of the scam is such that, though it be cut or broken at intervals of only a few stitches, it will neither often, run, or ravel, bnt remains firm and durable. 7. Unlike other machines, these fasten both ends of the seam by their own operation. 8. With these machines, while silk is used upon the right or face side of the seam, cotton may be used upon the other side without lessening the strength or durability of the seam. This can be done on other machine, and is a great saving upon all articles stitched or made np with siik. These aiacbines, in addition to their superior merits as instruments for sewing, by a change of adjustment, easily learned and practiced, execute the most beautiful and permanent embroidery and ornamental work.
