The National Madagascar Of yesterday copies from
the Richmond Republican article which intended TO
be apologize Of the Of The administration with
respect 70 the allowance Of certain Claims rejected BY the
preceding administration The article from the Republi-
car arully holds out the idea thar is the duty Of the
government 10 allow and pay just claims against it. and
wrong the part Of the democratic press TO esnsure
the administration for such evidently designing
to produce the impression the mind Of the reader that
the Gaphin Ewing and other claims paid BY this admin
siraon about which much fault has been found
just and righteous claims. and ought 10 have been
paid.
We do not intend TO let the cabinet of by any such
subtefuge the part OF its advocates The issue is not
that they have paid just and honest claims. Nobody
finds fault with them. them for paying such
caims but is for the payment Of illegal and dishon-
est claims-hose which have been dsalowed refused.
and rejected by former administrations that we arragn
them before the bar Of the country And we also arragn
them for the gross ndecency Of allowing and paying an
immense claim, in which OF their own number was
interested, and for which he was agent Even if that
claim just and legal one. which we do not believe
that fact does not the ndecency Of the ransac-
ton the part OF the cabinet II is for these things
first. for allowing and paying illegal and unfounded
claims, which had been dsaowed and rejected by for.
mer administrations and. secondly. for permitting one Of
their own number TO ociate agent Of claims himself
having large contingent interest in that which he repre-
SCENTS, and not for paying honest and legal caims-tha.
we arraign them al the bar Of the American people.
The cabinet, through its organs, should state their case
fairly They should present no false issues nor attempt
by suberfuge to divert the public mind from the real
points in controversy Such only tends to con-
firm the suspicious already existing in the public mind
against them. Il only helps to draw the fatal web Of
their destiny more closely around them. We would adj
wise them TO plead guilty. and not wait to be convicted

In The debate in the Senate on Tuesday Last. on the
motion 10 print the agricultural portion Of the report Of the
Commissioners Of Patents. it stated that that portion
Of the reports Of both the present and late Commissioners
prepared with but little or no supervision the part
Of those officers. We know not how il has been with
the present Commissioner but with respect to the late
Commissioner. IL 10 great error. Not sheet of the
report OF the late Commissioner, prepared BY another
person, went into that document without his careful
animation and approval; and some Of the most important
papers in that document were prepared with his own
hand, and others prepared under bis express drec
ton In fact, the preparation OF circulars. the collection
OF materials and the compilation OF the report, were all
done under his constant supervision, much any
other portion Of the business Of the Patent Once The
late Commissioner had competent and able assistants in
all the departments OF the Office and in no department
able and faithful assistant than his principal agn
cultural clerk. But that gentleman never wrote line
for the report which not submitted to the late CON-
missioner for examination, and correction if need be-
He felt that he alone responsible for the report and
be therefore carefully supervised the work Of every clerk
or other person employed upon it All the statistical
tables which were not copied from other works were
prepared under his especial direction
In conclusion, viii add, that the agricultural clerk
of the late Commissioner was the Rev. T. Goodrich
Smith, gentleman Of exemplary character. Of high
classic attanments OF the most perseverng industry and
of rare fidelity as public officer. He was whig in
principle, though not partisan, and removed
from the Patent Office. Notwithstanding, to make places
for two other gentlemen, who perform only the same
duties which he performed alone.
