Mr.. Malary of Vermont, gave notice that hi
should, on Wednesday next, ask the House to
20 into Committee of the Whole on the bill
proposing an increase Of duties on imported
wsollen goods
The Speaker laid before the House COM
munication from the Treasury Department
transmitting a statement, showing the names
of he Clerks employed in that Department dur
ing the year 1926, and the compensation allow.
ed 10 each. Also, a communication from the
State Department, transmitting the information
required by a resolution of the House, passed
on the 18th ul.imo, on the subject Of the Pa
tent Office. 1t appears that the amount Of ex.
penses Of the Patent Office, for the year 1926,
including salaries, extra Clerk hire, SC. is S6,-
| 1913. 1t also appears, the total amount Of mo-
neys received in the Treasury Of the y. States
| for Patents from the lst Of January, 1900, TO
the lst Of January, 1927, is Sl29,36 Of which
amount the respective sums of $500, and
S9,42o, were paid in during the last two years
The Secretary of State informs the House
that the Patents issued since the year 800 have
not been recorded, as required by law, except
some few which have been recorded since 4th
Of March, 1925, owing to deficiency Of the
requisite assistance Of Clerks in the Patent
Office. He, therefore, recommends thar one
permanent Clerk and two temporary ones be
appointed, the latter for three years, and that,
in consequence ofthe increased business, respon.
sibiity, and long faithful services Of the Super
ntenden,, his salary, which is now below that
Of many of the clerks employed in the differ
ent departments, be augmented.
On motion Of Mr.. White Of Florida, the Com.
mitlee on Commerce was instructed TO enquire
into the expediency of providing for the better
regulation Of Collection Districts in the Terri
tory Of Florida, and of the expectancy Of re-
moving the Port Of Entry from the Appilachi-
cola 10 ST. Marks
The House then resumed the consideration
of the bill for the relief of the surviving officers
and soldiers of the Revolutionary Army, the
question in debate being MIR. Wickliffe's propo-
silion to amend the bill by including the heirs
and legal representatives Of deceased officers.
MIR Wickliffe spoke in favor Of his proposition,
and was followed by Mr. les, of Indiana, and
Mr.. Clarke Of Kentucky, on the same side
Mr. Sprague of Maine, and Mr.. Draylon Of
South Carolina, delivered speeches in opposi-
ton to the amendment. Mr.. Weems Of Mary
land, begged to be allowed ten minutes to AN
swer some remarks that had fallen from the
gentleman from Indiana; but having consumed
seuen minutes without clearing the threshold Of
his exordiun,, he was interrupted by a success
full motion for ad journment.

The Liverpool Commercial Chronicle of thu
10th December says tina! the report of the War
has tended to advance the prices Of most arti
cles in that market, aud is popular with al
classes of the inhabitants.
The papers contain much other information Of
minor importance, but last evening, being Sun.

The Richmond Papers Of Friday are filled
with disquisitions on the Senatorial Election
which was to take place the mex, day. The En-
quirer and its correspondents press the neces-
sty of Mr.. Randolph's reelection with great
earnestness, notwithstanding the assertion of
the editor tina, the desired events unquesiionsd.
The Wing and its friends labor for the honor
Of their state, but seem 10 reprobate rather than
doubt result which threatens her political de-
graduation. The editors remark with striking
Justice that John Randolph, is perhaps the only
man in the State, whose fee lings and secret in
clination are not merely cold to the cause of alb
stract republcanism, but absolutely hostile TO
it, declared admirer Of every thing English
an ayowed despiser of every thing American
o: an aristocra,ic pride that eads him to hate
poverty and to view the man who raises himself
from low condition to dis,in ction, as tres
passer upon his privilege Of blood S weal,h-ofa
heart so devilish, tina: the pleasure OF his life
consists in inAcing pain upon others,and infus-
ing into their cup some Of the misery with
which retribu,ive justice has filled his own
addicted to hard drink, and liable when excited
by it to commi, every species OF excess-who
in the gravest body in the world, has made a
Jest of every thing the country holds respecta-
Bile and sacred? Such is John Randolph-and
If any circumstance can excite more admiration
than the solicitude felt by some men for his e.
lection, il is that these men are members OF the
General Assembly, body he sligmaiises as
conyocation of Deputy Sheriffs and Constabes,
and whose lobby it is his boast never to have
bcElided himself by entering.
We perceive with pleasure, that Colonel
Whites able letter on the importance and prac-
,cability of the Florida Canal, is attracting the
attention which its merits demand. The edi-
tors of the Baltimore American, whose OPT.
Mons are entitled to great weight, say that they
scarcely remember to have seen a more inter.
esting paper on such subject, and regret that
their limits compel them to substitute sum-
marv of the advantages Of the scheme in place
of the entire document. After giving the sum.
mary they further remark that "these look like
dreams; yet may they, in all probability, be ac'
compished by means comparatively inconside-
rable, and which would be returned million
fold into the treasury Of the Union"
