BALTIMORE. Ann. 2a-hn N

The Union, perceive, not content with once
spreading before its readers the miserable and pitt
full misrepresentation OF General Taylor's remarks
while in Baltimore, taken from the argus, nou-
rishes them again before the world sort of text
for further scurrility and abuse. Why not i'm re-
viewing this subject give some credit to the Sun,
4mericdn, and Patriot, whose reporters we're also
present and noted the speech. The Sun especially,
being a neutral and independent paper, and always
accurate and unbiased, found no such fustian as
the Republican and argus put forth. The remarks
Of General Taylor, noted by the Sun, and all
other papers in our city, except the Argus, which
expected matter Of course TO misrepresent
them, were dignifed, appropriate, and we'll timed.
Let the Union then make some slight deviation
from its adhesion to scurrility, and do justice by
publishing what other papers here have given as
the Generals remarks
The national convention of inventors is still in
session here, but will probably adjourn SINE die to-
morrow
The following resolutions were passed to-day:
"Resoiped, That the 18th section of the act Of
1899 should be repealed, and one substituted which
will allow the inventor suitable time TO devclope
and test his invention by free use and sale OF the
same, not exceeding two years; provided, ne shall
stamp every article so sold OF tested with his name
and the date of his invention and the words patent
intended and no or purchase by others than
the inventor shall be construed To give such other
right Of free use after the expiration of two years
from the date stamped upon the article purchased
or used; and any person or corporation VINO snail
sell, construct, or said invention after the two
years shall be held responsible for all damage from
and after that time; provided, the same shall be
patented by the inventor.
"Mr. Englebrecht of New York, offered resolu-
ton that Judges Philips, Rand and Mr.. Clifford be
requested TO prepare section providing Tor pub
fishing in three or more weekly monthly publ
cations all patents, with drawings 10 explain the
specifications, the expenses 10 be paid out OF the pa
tent fund. The resolution was adopted.
