Who is the Inventor OF The Mccormick
kPaner


We copy the following article from the
Washington E5eRi6g Star, which $40
pretty conclusiyey that Mr. Mccormick Is
not the author of the application OF the prin-
cples combined in his reaper, and 1t was
probably for this reason that renewal OF
his patent was refused 1t seems that origi-
mi inventors, generally, stand poor
chance of reapiug any benefit from the pro-
ducts of their genius :--ROcLtord Dem.
The great majority Of our countrymcn
have little idea Of the ms and outs and
uurks and turns Of the business of patent
ees. Hardly an invention which proves TO
be of great importance is patented, except
by and through the mental labors of divers
persons. That is, in most cases the paten-
tee who succeeds in Introducing his patented
article into general use, is much more apt 10
be the compiler of other mems thoughts
than tho originator OF great idea or comoi-
nation of mechanical ideas ofhis own. The
fact is forcibly brought to our mind on lear
nino. that Isaac j. Ilitc, Of White Post,
Va. has now before the Patent Office an ap-
plication for patent for his original com
binaton of raker's seat and the reel, in
roaming machines Mccormick obtained a
patent for a reaper in 1884, which has run
ont. In lSll, we rccoIlcct, our old friend
Thomas p. Jones-preyiously the head of
the patent bureau-applied for patent Gas
AGENT for this combination of Mr.. llite,
doposting the model in the Patent Office.
But objections were made by Commission
or Ellsworth to tho grant Of the patent for
Hite's invention, which soon resulted in u
psremptory refusal, notwithstanding DIR.
Jones' efforts to bring abouta different re-
suit.
In 1871, when new men were in the Of
flee, and the original model of iiite had long
remained hid by a multitude of specimens
of all sorts of inventions by our country
men, Mccormick obtained a patent for the
Coordination Of the reel and rcapcr's seat,
located and arranged as described or the
equivalent thereof" This, in fact. is but
the application to his (McCormick's) old
machine of the principle or improvement for
which Hitc had previously been denied a
patent, and without which the machine
would have been practically useless. The
Mccormick patent, against the renewal of
which SO many petitions were sent to Con-
gress, is the one last above mentioned. The
discovery Of the fact that lIite, not McCor-
mick, should have been the original patcn-
tee, of which there now can be little doubt,
it seems to US, goes to show the correctness
of our declaration, that few, indeed, of the
valuable inventions are patented to original
inventors of the articles in question, and al
so to enforce the duS OF great care in sitting
the clana Of parties to be original inventors

SOUTHERN 1IriSoIS.-Egypt is now in the
rapid transition state. The last ton years
has witnessed steady improvement in
wealth, Intelligence and enterprise, but in
tho last two years the pace Of improvement
has quickcned into trot and promise soon
to be to gallop. The progrss Of Illinois is
not founded on wild speculation this time
Her immense natural resources are being
called out; those who can will be spurrcd
up to keep pace with the times, and those
who cannot will move further west" by a
process as natural as the law of gravitation.
The moral and political sentiments Of the
people Of southern Illinois are undergoing a
marked change; the day when buacombc
and whiskcy bought votes could rule, is gone
in many parts Of Egypt, and rapidly going
in the remainder. Some politicians see this
and mould themselves to the times But 9TH
crs, SO short sighted, attribute the change
they see to accident Of disturbing influence,
and foolishly hope that like ltful gust it
will pass by and that matters will again re-.
sumo their pristine character. Foolish dc.
fusion the change las conc and is pro-
crossing, and oW do SO, and the current
can no more be changed than can the waters
of the Mississippi be arrested AMI made 0
flow towards their source. New elements OF
population are being infused the young arc
growing up TO give and receive new impress
sons free from political party or prCjdicc
and the oil arc dropping away one by one
and those who expect that matters can evcl
be as they have bccnin the carly settlement
Of the country, lean upon baselcss fabric
which will fall away from them whenever
they trust TO it, There is still the same race
before those who aspire to political cmncncc
and power; there are still elements that arc
far more powerful, but they can only be
swayed by course different from any stcre
otypcd line Of policy, and those who would
Weld influence mast devote themselves tC
some useful or promising cause. Go ahcad
is tho motto Of the times, and those who
would succeed must keep pace with it,
