 Patent Office, Washington, July 13, 1887.
 In consequence of the destruction of the records of the Patent Office by fire in De- cember last, Congress provided by law for recording all patents 0'sew; and no patent can be given in evidence untl the same has been recorded again ill this office The law provides for the record of aU patents which have been issued, whether the same have or have not expired. Such record, it is believ- ed, will be honorable to inventors, and high ly useful ill the future management of the Patent Office. Arrangements are according ly made for recording all patents ane,o in this office expecting that persons holding patents will promptly comply with the law in this respect. It is hoped none will delay transmitting patents, because ahe invention may be deemed unimportant.
 copy of every patent issued is desirable. as the best means of preventing imposltlons. Many persons have already complied with the law, and their patents have been record ed and returned to them; and all who have OMITTED to forward their papers are request ed to send them to this office by MAIL, with out delay. In this mode, patents will be se- cured from infringement, and useful inven- tions perpetuated. Papers forwarded will be safely kept and speedily returned.- Transfers or assignments of patent are in like manner required to be recorded anew. Pub fishers of newspapers will promote the cause of science. as well as oblige their customers, by publishing this notice.

MT. Van Buren, is pledged to veto any such
bill. No one, we presume, can believe in
such an event that when returned, the bill
could pass the two houses by the requisite
majority, two-thirds, TO become law without
the signature Of the President. This "mea-
sure Of relief" proposed by the wings, cannot
in any event succeed.
The measure proposed by the President,
VIZ: an exclusive metallic currency aud the
sub-treasury system is almost if not quite as
unpopular as a National Bank. Enough has
been seen Of the disposition Of the members
OF the House in the election of printer, 10
show us that this remedy cannot receive the
support Of this body; allowing all those who
voted for Messrs. Blair and Rves TO enter
tain the same sentiments, as the President on
this subject, which is not the fact, there will
be majority Of 25 or 80 against the plan Of
sub-treasnries as a measure Of relief: we feel
confident in asserting that the sub-treasury
will not be adopted.
1t seems to us, then, that the administration
party should unite upon the State Bank De-
poslte System, under wise and prudent re-
strictlons, as the best measure of relief that we
can get. We shall however soon have the
opinions of the members of Congress in their
speeches, and we can then arrive at some
safe conclusions what will be done by the
constitutional guardians of the people to re-
lieve the present distress under which we
labor.
We commend to the attention Of our readers
the excellent remarks of the Richmond En-
quirer on the Presidents Message We be-
lieve they accord with the views and feelings
of large portion of the democracy Of Vir-
GINA, if not of the United States and we
trust they may have due weight upon the
members Of Congress.

THE MESSAGE.

OF President Van Buren, to Congress. is
herewith submitted to our readers, by antici-
pating our usual day of publication. 1t is an
able, clear, and statesman-like document, and
if it does not meet the views, it cannot fail of
commanding the respect Of every unpreju-
diced mind In its suggestions, il takes the
middle ground-avoiding both ex,remes-and
while it gives a decided opinion against
National Bank, in any shape, it very properly
avoids hostility to judicious and restricted
credit system. The subject Of dissolving all
connexion between the government and State
banks, is treated with candor and discern
ment worthy Of a Chief Magistrate Of great
and growing nation, and the discussion which
Mr. Van Buren, invites on the subject, if pro-
perly conducted, cannot fail of being beneficial
in guiding the course of Congress to a cor
rect conclusion, in their deliberations on the
question. The causes of existing cmbarrass-
ments, are set forth truly, and with great per-
spicui,y-so much SO, that all who read, can
not fail Of understanding, and tracing them to
their true sources.

PRINTER TO CoNGREss.-On the twelfth
ballot, Thomas Allen, Editor Of the Madiso-
Man, new democratic paper recently estab-
lished in Washington, was elected printer to
the House of Representatives. Mr.. Allen
has been considered a democrat of the old
school, and as such we have not the least OBJ
lection to his being elected printer to Con-
gress, but we had much rather he had been
elected by his political friends than by his
protested enemies. We are well persuaded
that the opposition are ever ready to thwart
the wishes Of the democratic party, and avail
themselves of every opportunity to do SO, and,
therefore, as in the case Of Jefferson and Burr,
they now fell in with small minority of
twenty to defeat the wishes and will Of lO4
democrats, in an attempt to destroy the Globe
We again say, that from our information in
respect to the politics of Mr.. Allen, we object
not to his appointment, but we deeply regret
that any thing should be connected with his
appointment that should create any doubts as
TO the soundness of his principles, and de-
stroy the usefulness Of his paper
