One deplorable result OF the unsettled condition
of our relations with Great Britain the disastrous
influence which an apprehension of trouble exer-
cses, not onlyupon commercial and mercantile mat
ters generally, but upon all business movements Of
any magnitude. We have heard of more than one
instance in which capitalists have been deferred
from engaging in laudable enterprises by the
alluded to. Thousands and tens ofthousands of dol
lars have thus been withheld from proper investment
while shpwrghts, mechanics, and day laborers have
been deprived OF favorable opportunities of employ
ment which they would have secured under other
circumstances. Scarcely day goes by that we do
not hear gentlemen remark, in the course of CONVEX
sation, that they will engage in such and such
undertaking soon as the Oregon question shall
be settled" Thus, although there is no war, and,
as we believe, a conflict is likely to be avoided,
effects are produced Of the most dscouraging kind.
The authorities at Washington, the representatives
of the people, the men who are charged not only to
maintain the honor and vlndicae the rights, but to
promote the prosperity of the country, should not
lose sight of This view of the case.-Pha Inquirer.

The state of the Oregon question has brought out
the Hon. w. &C. RWEs, in communication OF some
considerable length in the National Intelligencef.
We do not know that we ever read any thing from
Mr. RUEs that seemed more directly applicable to
the subject before himmore illustrative, more sa-
tisfactory. Mr.. RvEs refers, in the first place, 10
the horrors Of war with large civilized Govern
ment. At his age, with his standing, he can afford
thus TO speak: he need not court the noisy applause
that is given TO those who split the ears of the
groundlings by bombast and hollow professions OF
patriotism. He declares, with true feeling of re-
spect for the honor and interest of the nation that
the rights and interest of the nation can be properly
and successfully maintained only by dignity, mode
ration, wisdom, high statesmanlike prudence unit
ed with frmness and justice.-U. s. Gazette.

A cause of magnitude, which excites great inte-
rest in the community, has for several days past
been under discussion In the Supreme Court. II
involves question much litigated in various circuits
ofthe United States courts, touching the due exercise
of powers granted by the 18th section of the act of
Congress of the 4th of July, 1896, authorizing the
extension Of patents in certain cases beyond the
fourteen years for which, under the general law,
they originally issued.
In this case patent for machine for planning
boards, with capacity to tongue and groove them
at the same time, was, by the proper board extend
ed to the administrator of the inventor and paten-
tee, for seven years from the expiration of the pa
tent; and it is objected first that the administrators
is not authorized under the law to take such an ex-
tension and, secondly admitting that he can take
it, that the benefit of the extension enures, under
the law, to such persons as had purchased rights in
the patent under the first term of fourteen years.
These appear to be the material questions involved
in the case, though others have been discussed.
Several causes, we understand are before the Court
depending upon these and minor questions, in which
ample array of counsel on both sides is retained
In support of the patent, extended, appear ex-
