THE SHARpsHoorERs' BALL.-The second annual
ball of the Walker Sharpshooers attracted to Odd
Fellows' Hall, on Tuesday night, probably the
largest asscmblage OF ladies and gentlemen that
capacious saloon has ever contained on similar
occasion, (not less than eight hundred persons be-
ing presently The hall was very tastefully deco
rated and brilliantly lighted, and throughout the
evening the display was brilliant, gay and AMI
mated. Fischer's band, attached TO the company,
performed during the night, in excellent style,
the most fashionable quadrilles, pokas, waltzes and
marches which were enjoyed with much zest by
the participants, who kept up the dancing to late
hour The military OF the different volunteer corps
of the city, Georgetown and Baltimore, were large
ly represented, and the committee OF arrangements
displayed much courtesy and attention to them,
and, in fact, TO all who present. The estima-
ton in which the Sharpshooters are held by the
residents Of the Northern Liberties (where they
were organized) was fully displayed by their at
tendance; so much to almost Justify the re-
mark that the ladies OF that section were present
en- masse. On the whole, the company have just
reason TO be proud Of the marked success OF their
' Second Annual Ball"
FIRE-The large frame building on the corner
of C and 18th streets, owned by Mr.. Bergman
and occupied as feed-sto by Mr.. Alfred Lee,
was, with its contents, destroyed by fire yesterday

fire originated is not known, but is supposed to
have been the work Of incendary. The flames
spread to the adjoining wood yard OF Mr. Ward
and some of his wood destroyed; but the

United States Patent ONCE,
SEPTEMBER IS, 1874


WHEREAS Charles A. Krechler, subject of
w the King of Sweden, did obtain letters pa
tent of the United States bearing date July TO- S4y
and whereas Carl Falkman, also subject OF the
said King of Sweden, did make application at this
Office for letters patent for substantially the same
invention on the 30th of August last, based upon
Swedish patent, dated August 5th 1S4S, the evil
dence of which has been presented and filed:
And whereas an interference was declared by this
office between the parties aforesaid the 18th day
of September current, and the day of hearing APP
pointed to be the third Monday in March, eighteen
hundred and fifty, and the parties notified OF the
same through their agents; that Is to say, Mr
Charles M Keller of the city of New York for Falk
man, and Mr.. X. H. Eddy, of Boston, for Krechler;
and whereas the said X. H. Eddy, late attorney for
the said Krechler did inform this office, by his let.
ter dated the 18th instant, that he is not informed
as to the present residence Of the said Krechler and
that the said Eddys power of attorney ceased when
Krechler's patent was issued and delivered, and that
the official notice of the interference to the said
Eddy is no legal notice TO the patentee:
Now, therefore, this is to give notice to the said
Charles A. Krechler, and TO all whom it may con-
Germ, that the application for letters patent for an
apparatus for distilling and rechfying spirituous
liquors, by Carl Falkman aforesaid, has been ad-
Judged TO interfere with the invention claimed by
Charles A. Krechler, and for which letters patent
granted the 10th of July lS49, aforesaid,
and that the hearing will be granted at the time
above named, and in conformity with the provisions
Of the eighth section of the act of Congress approved
July 4th 1886, and the rules of this Office pertain
ing thereto
II is ordered that this notice be published in the
Republic and National Intelligencer Washington;
Daily Bee, Boston; and Tribune, New York, once
in each week for six months previous to the said
third Monday of March next.

LocoFoco Isco ssIsTgNcy Whenever and whcr.
ever the Locos in power, there is at once gen
eral turning out of every opponent from office that
can possibly come under the of decapitstion
There never has been exception 10 this rule.
Wings have never been suffered to retain Office
moment beyond the time necessary to remove them.
Under such circumstances there always are appli-
cans enough for every Office, even the lowest, and
there is no hcsitancy in gratifying them. And it is
by such bcstowal Of small ocesupon violent political
adherents that they enabled to have active
and bitter partsans, TO do all the little dirty work
in political contest which they desire. BY such
rewards TO the petty leaders, and by such appeals
to the lowest and meancst passions Of human ma
turc, they keep themselves in power, and coptinu-
ally strengthen their party In proof OF the above
assertion respecting the distribution of office, we
have but To appeal 10 the conduct of the sheriff
OF the city of PHILADELPHIA who has turned out every
officer suspected of Whiggism, and given their
places to his own adberents. We do not blame him
for so doing, but il does seem rather inconsistent to
fill the daily papers with jcrcmiads over some de-
captated I>ocofoco, and demand consideration for
HIM as martyr in the Democratic cause, and then
take the same course whenever power is given TO
them. The lamentations on the one hand, and the
appointments, whenever they have power, on the
other, demonstrate TO certainty that the spoIs of
office is the great object for which they are contend
ing the stone Of their political platform the
leading, governing principle of their party creed

WHEELING SUSPENSION BRIDoE.--'rhe Wheeling
Gazette, of Friday, says,
"Zane's ferry. from the Wheeling shore to the
island, which has piled TO and fro for period of
years dating az far back as the oldest nhabitant
can recollect, yesterday discontinued, and all
rights pertaining to it transferred to the suspension
bridge, in accordance with the purchase made by
the company. During the day all the market
wagons from Ohio, in returning, passed over the
bridge with perfect safety. We were not a little
amused by contrasting the cool and satisfied man
ner in which country friends drove upon this
immense platform swung in the air, with the in
credulous feelings which prompted many of them
to declare few months ago, that they "would not
risk their lives such thing for the world"
The greatest creations Of genius when successfully
completed, appear simple, however complex and
incomprehensiblc they may have previously seemed.
Such simple, though huge and magnificent
structure does the Wheeling suspension bridge now
appear to the observer. The light and fairy step of
timid woman, the heavy tramp of the burdened
horse or the crushing wheels Of the ponderous car,
may alike traverse this structure, with the assur-
that the platform beneath them is firm, safe,
and enduring as the rock ribbed and everlasting
hills

BALTIMORE, Nov. TO p.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 7--5 p. m.
Enclosed you will find additional returns from
New York. The Wings of the Empire State have
done nobly. They have battered down the ram
parts of coalition which were reared by the fondEng
sycophancy of the Barnburners and Hunkers and
laid Locofocoism low with its native element The
State of New York is, beyond all question, Wing
State. While the Wings in other States, at recent
contests, from carelessness and sort of lukewarm
indifference, allowed their elections TO go almost by
default, our friends in New York, undaunted, come
boldly, fcaressly up to their duty, and have covered
themselves with imperishable honors This noble
State cast her vote for the gallant hero of Bucna
Vista. She willing to try him, and in that
trial found, the sequel shows, nothing TO regret
She has spoke with noise that will be heard and
needed all over the Union in favor of the Chief Ma
gistrate whom she took on trial. She allowed no
petty selfish ACKNOWLEDGMENT to distract her general
purpose She has looked upon the administration
of affairs by General TAYLOR with calm eye,
phosophic and deliberate judgment. She has
been too independent, too honest, and too stout
hearted to swervc in a good cause, because, per-
chance, some few may have been disappointed in
obtaining Office. Small matters like these were
lost in the determination TO sustain just cause.
Let other States emulate her example. Let them
forward and strengthen that arch in our protective
confederation, worthy Of noble participant.
There is power in the verdict rendered yesterday
by New York which must make itself felt, glori-
ously TO Wings, fearfuy TO Locofocos.
No returns have yet been received from Louisi
