Editorial Correspondence.
Ii. X. WASHINGTON, April "a, 1856.
The numerous letters | have received
from all parts of the District asking for the
Patent Office Reports of last year or this
year seem to render it necessary that
should make some explanation why have
not been able TO furnish them; which |
should feel much obliged if my Editorial CO.
tcmporaries in the District would copy.
The Patent Reports for 1876 were or
dered to be printed by our predecessors Of
the last Congress, were therefore their prop
erty, and were distributed by them. The
new members were entitled to none of them
mhotecer. As a matter Of courtesy, OBJ
tanned a few of them that were cleft over"
and have sent them to applicants for them;
but they did not supply one twentieth Of
the demand. The Patent Office is very
late in reporting this year; the Agricultural
Report having only been submitted to Con-
gress during the last week. AS it will
take some months to put it in type, print,
and bind it, ready for distribution, fear
that it will not be ready much, if any, be-
fore Fall. If can possibly obtain copies
Of the Reports for previous years, l will
distribute them amongst my constituents
with pleasure; for work that appears,
from the demands for it, to be so popular
with the people at large, as the Patent
Reports, cannot be too widely circulated.
AS the Senate have not Yet passed the
River and Harbor Improvement bills which
have been pending before them for a long
time Except the one for the ST. Clair Flats
and two three others, the House Com
mittee on Commerce yesterday reported a
large number of bills Of that character,
