KENTUCKY AND CoMPRoMIsE.-The Hon. JOHN
b. THOMPSON appears to be growing in favor as
the Wing candidate for the Govcrnorship of Ken
lucky. Those who support him, however, are will
ing to abide by the will of the State convention to
be held on the 22d of February next, and are no
less ardent in their support of the compromise mea-
sures, as is evinced by the following resolutions,
adopted among others at a recent meeting of the
Wings OF Pulaski county, in that State:
Resolved, That the Hon. John b. Thompson, of
Harrodsburg, is our first choice for Governor, and
our delegates hereafter appointed to attend said
convention are instructed to vote for him; but in
the event that he is not the choice of the conven
ton, we pledge ourselves to support the nominee of
said convention.
Resolved, That the gratitude of this nation ia due
those patriots and statesmen who did battle for the
Union during the late session of ngress and TO
whom we are indebted for the preservation and per-
petuation OF the same; among those names stand
most prominent those of Clay, Cass, Webster, and
Foote.
Resoloed, That we heartily approve the compro.
mise measures passed at the last session of Con
gress, and hope that those patriots who procured
the passage OF the same may be able, during the
present session of Congress-, to protect them from
the fanatcal attacks of the dsunionsts of the North

In the discussion now In progress In the
Senate of the United States, on the amend
ment of the patent laws, good deal has been
said on the subject of providing some process
by which an illegal patent can be repealed.
There is no doubt that the existing law is ia
tally defective in that respect; and that the
public security requires the immediate adop-
ton Of some such provision.
In England there are two modes by which
an illegal patent may be vacated Every pat
ent contains a proviso which makes the grant 1t
contains revocabe by the Queen or any six of
her Privy Council, for certain causes mentioned
in the proviso-such, for instance, as if the
grant is contrary to law, or preIudlcaI, or IN
convenient to her majesty's subjects; or. if the
invention was not new, or not invented by the
patentee. There is no instance, however, in
which this mode Of revocation has been adopted
in modern times.
Another and the usual mode of cancelllng an
illegal or void patent is by an action commenced
by a writ called scue taciaS, founded upon the
record OF enrolment Of the patent, and matters
suggested to the court as a ground for its re-
peal. An llItHdl pdtcilt ID aNtudliJ III law Pic
judicial to the entire community, for 1t com
mands every one to abstain from the use of the
art or invention comprised in it, and deprive,
every person of the right or liberty which he
had before of nventing and using the particu-
lar art which is made the subject of the patent
grant. For this reason, every person IN Eng
land is presumed to have such an interest n
| patent for an invention that if he alleges thai
it is Illegal or void. he Is entitled as OF right TO
scire .taciaS, in the name Of the Queen, in or
| der to repeal it.
! II is singular enough that Republican gov
eminent should be less observant than that Of
England Of the rights and interests of the
public Yet in regard to these patent monopolies
il is undoubtedly true that the tendency Of Con
gressiona and Judicial legislation in this coun
try, Of late years, has been to sacrifice the pub
| lie to the patentee; to adopt new and unheard o
rules in favor Of the patentee; and to introduce
such general laxity In the Interpretation o
patents that patentee's privilege, instead o
being matter of reasonable certainty on IN
spection, is the most vague and indefinite Of al

sublunary things. So with the scue tacias.
Under the act of 1893 the American public
ENJOYED the protection of this writ against
illegal and void patents. For no good rea-
son, it was omitted in the act of 1886;
and now there is no process known TO
our law by which patent can be tested until
a sudt is brought by the patentee himself This
is an advantage over the public which the
patentee ought not to possess; and we hope
that Congress will adopt some remedial egis-
lation. The giant monopoes of the Patent
Office require watching and the vast powers
vested in the Commissioner call for some
speedier and more satisfactory process of test
ing his judgment than that of an action by the
patentee.
the people remedy, or process, of which
they have been deprived. Patentees now form
an influential and wealthy class; and it is their
interest to make their exclusive privileges, lie
gal or otherwise, as secure as possible. They
wish, of course, TO retain the liberty of selecting
the time and the forum of adjudicating their
supposed rights. They have their agents and
attorneys, permanently retained for Official and
legislative, as well as legal services and the
whole class will be active and clamorous to
prevent any change in the existing. laws that
shall be merely beneficial TO the public. But
we think that the people are stronger than the
monopolsts, and that they will insist upon such
reforms in the present system as are indispen-
sable TO their reasonable protection against the
extortions that are practised under color of lille
gal and void patents, which there is no exist
ing mode of cancelling.
