JEFFERSON RELIEF HousE-An adjourn.
ed meeting of citizens will be held at the St Charles
Hotel to night at half past o'clock, when it is
hoped and expected that the committee to solicit
contributions for Jefferson Relief House, will be
prepared to report and pay over what they have
received. The rigors of winter are daily incres.-
ing the number of INDECENT poor, who draw largely
on this Relief House for support and unless the
public will contribute literally to the object, those
gentlemen who are now conducting it, will be
forced, for want of means, to cut off the supplies
now furnished the poor, and thereby greatly in
crease their suffering. When we tell our readers
that about two hundred persons, mostly women and
children, are supplied with two meals of healthy
food from this house per day, and that the expenses
have not exceeded fifteen dollars per week we feel
assured they no longer refuse assistance to the
praiseworthy object. The Committee from whom
report is expected, is composed of the following

Loot CHILD.-On calling at the first

of the police in the pleasant duty of dangling" a
child upon his knee, he having discovered the little
fellow stroling the streets in the cold, and crying
piteousy for its father, the name of whom he could
not give. Having enquired diligently for the pa

them, the officer was consoling himself with the
reflection that he should be able to present one oil

The Patent Ou;cc !teport.

One thousand nine hundred and two
19O2) patents were issued during the year
lcj4, and the number Of Applications was
one half larger than this, viz three thou
sand three hundred AMI twenty-louv (3324). .
4 small portion only of the patents granted
are ever renewed, and if there wcrc a law
against the renewal Of any one it would be
better for the country.
The receipts of the Patent Office in 1884
are reported to be $lG3 80 81 The expen-
diture overruns that SUM about $500, but
it is ascribcd partly to the additional COM
pcnsation allowed the clerks by the net Of
1854, amounting to nearly nine thousand
dollars and further tn the necessary ex-
penses OF repairing, cleaning, and vanishing
the models which were removed to their new
rccertac!cs and to the augmentation of force
required in order to dispose of the cases
which had accumulated as above stated.
Thus, fees amounting to more than twenty
thousand dollors accrued in lS53, for services

DECIDEDLY COoL,-lt must be highly d.
vcrting to the students Of political tcrgiyer-
sa ton, to observe the nOnchaidncc whereNith
the Softs have just resolved themselves into
a sort Of favor with the administration Re
solved, say they, That the Ad!nnist ton
has our hearty concurrence and commrudl-
ton. in its management Of the public iiran-
ces Now, considering that during the last
fiscal year Gen Pierce expended something
over eighty millions Of dullars--a most cx-
brilliant sum to be wasted by Government
which John Adams administered at cost OF
only seventeen million, and other Presidents
at considerably under fifty milions-wc are
at a loss to devise what the Solts refer to IN
their Gathering resolutions II We look be-
meath the surface, however, We may Int upon
the solution of this enigma. Duuotess our
Syracuse politicians refer t. the fact that
the President has managed the public iinan-
ces' so as TO reward his friends literally for
his services. Have not the Solts mono po-
lized Il great share of the offices in the gift of
the oycrnment--excluding the poor lizards
altogether Did not the President pay them
well for DESERVING their constituents and vo.
ting for the Nebraska Bill Surely there is
no good reason, speaking politically, why
they should not encourage and commend their
liberal patron.
Further on, where our Soft friends com
mend tho President for the exercise of tie
veto power, We presume they have IN NINA
| his magnanmous denial Off mere pttance To
a needy public charity for the benefit OF Blind
Asylums and when they speak of the attn
tude' he has assumed in support OF the
/ American name abroad 10 what could they
refer hut the hrr obstruction OF trey

ETThe Z" Soft" Democratic papers in New
York arc disputins whether tho "Solt' Con-
vcntion, held at Syracuse on the 23d Of Aug,
did or did not pass the following Soft resolu
ton:
Resolved, That we consilsr the clause in
the Kansas-Ncbraskn hill, repeating the
Missouri Compromise, (Which would have
expired by its own limitation on the orIanza-
ton of Territories into States,) as unwisc
and uncalled for, But THAT WE ARE
OPPOSED TO ANY AGITATION HAVING
IN VIEW THE RESTORATION OF SAID
LINE OR TENDING TO PROMOTE SEC
TlONAL con rRONERCI N RELATION
THERETO but that we trust that the pco-
pie thereof, when free to organize their own
government under the laws of Congress
according to their own interests and we'll
being, will dispose Of that trust SO as to hest
secure them good government and t. main
tain the peace Of the Union.
To be sure it appeared in the official state
ment, as having been passed as we'll ms pro-
posed. but that is fatty denied by the Argu,
and some others. It does not seem to be
worth disputing about

The State election in Maine took place on
the 10th and was carried on with n great
deal Of heat in many places. The unfortu-
nate riot in Portland on the seizure of the
liquor obtained for the city by Mayor Dow,
occa stoned an exceedingly bitter feeling ON
both sides in that vicinity, That feeling
evidently had great influence on the election,
and was SO blended with the different political
questions Of the day, that it is not easy to say
how much each one contributed to the re-
suit Thus fur the returns show a considcra-
ble loss on the vote of last year for Governor
Morrill, There is no election of Governor
