English NObIemen Who Have
Married American Bellies.

More American ladies have mar.
ried English noblemen, says Colonel
Fitzgerald in recent number of the
City Item, than is generally suppo-
sed. The most remarkable instance
was that of the three daughters of
Richard Cation, Esq, Of Baltimore,
grand. daughters of Charles Carroll, of
Oarrollton, who were sent to England
to he educated, and each OF whom
"knocked down his pecr." They
married the Marquis Wellesley, Lord
Stafford, and the Duke of Leeds
The Duchess Dowager, of Leeds, is
the only survivor Of the sisters, and
their husbands are also dead. Be.
sides these, the first Lord Ashburton
married the daughter of the Hon.
William Bingham, of Philadelphia,
by whom he left large family. The
eldest, William Barring, the present
Lord Ashburton, b eld high Office, and
is very influential, as well from bis
abilities as his great wealth. The

"IIuportant True.,,

We recently gave insertion TO certain
statements and representations, partly new
and partly old, which had for their object TO
discover and settle the authorship of the mo-
ton to repeal the Missouri compromise As
the resentments created by that political
measure have now nearly spent their force, it
is obvious that the question raised under this
head has no Importance beyond that which
attaches to the awards of history on the sub
ject, to the end that the relative responsible
ity OF the parties contributing 10 the origina-
ton of the proposition, as finally carried
into effect in the year 1854, may be justly
appropriated and definitely ascertained
As bearing directly upon the point in ques-
ton, we find in Michigan contemporary.
the Eagle, published at Grand Rapids, in that
State. certain revelations" that deserve to
be cited for confirmation or contradiction,
according 10 truth in the premises. Ii ap-
pears from the representations of this Jour
nal that the Hon John ". Turner, formerly
leading member of the Legislature f Mich
igan, announced at a political meeting
held in Adrian, town in that State,
on the 3lst ultimo, that " the repeal of
the Missouri compromise was decided upon
by the Democratic leaders as far back as
1915" and gave as his authority for this
statement the name of Mr. Cass, the present
venerable and respected Secretary of State.
According 10 Mr.. Turner's .'recollections.
as derived from repeated interviews" with
Mr.. Cas- in the winter of 1889. that
statesman, while a candidate before the CO.
islature of Michigan for the post of Senator
of the United States. urged him to resist the
passage of any resolutions instruetins the
Senators from that State to vote for the nro-
hibition of slavery in the Territories, and in
formed him at the same time that '.Ibe Mis-
souri, compromise must he repealed, and that
II was resolved upon, and would be carried
cut as soon as "a Democratic President was
inaugurated." Our Michigan contemporary
justly remarks that this statement lis q very
remarkable one" and, If Mr.. Turner's menu
DRY is accurate, it remains TO say that the
history of The steps leading to the repeal OF
the Missouri compromise will have to be re-
written. For ourselves. We prefer to wait
for further Information before accepting this
new version of "facts" in regard 10 that cele
brated transaction, merely remarking that
these revelations are important il Irue.''

Tennessee. consisting of Mayor HoI.LNGs-
WORTH, AIEx ALLISON, n. E. ALLowAY, H.

this city on Tuesday evening. and are now at

to our business men the advantages OF a q ore
direct rail communication between .Cincin-
natl and Nashville. by the construction OF
road from Danville TO the latter city. Tits
committee comes fortified with facts and
figures. which must have their full weight in
determining the proper point of Connection
whether by Chattanooga, Knoxville or Nash
vile. The question OF the ultimate construc
ton of one of the lines suggested is hardly
a debatable one. Public interest has already
settled that point. An informal meeting OF
the President aud members of the Chamber
of Commerce with the Nashville Committee
has been held, at which it was resolved TO
call meeting of the citizens of Cincinnati,
Covington and Newport. this evening, at
half-past seven o'clock, at the Merchants Ex-

BRECKINRIDGE's BULL-In his Lexington
speech, JOHN G. BRECKENRIDGE took credit TO
himself for not voting in 1913, when Gen.
CAss was the Democratic candidate for Presi
dent, stating that he went hunting with six
or eight gentlemen belonging to the Wing
party, and added, that " if every man had
done as well as himself we'-that is. the
Democrats would have carried the State
10y forty thousand majority The logic of
this Argument is equal TO its arithmetic. but
it is wholly consistent with the entire speech.

Gone what Major BRECKENRIDGE did in 1913.
and had taken |" six Wings" with him on a
hunting expedition, there would have been,
nobody to vote, and good many less than
nobody We fear the Major, when he be-
came a Disunion candidate, also became
Hibernian.

Mr.. BRECKINRIDGE did right in not answering
IN his Lexington speech the interrogatorics
propounded to Mr.. DOUGLAS at Norfolk. and
which Mr.. b. was called upon by the press
TO anwer also. The fact is, the disunionists
who are supporting Mr. BRECKIxEIDGE con-
denim and denounce Mr.. DOUGLAS for his re-
Spouse; and Mr.. BRECKENRIDGE did not dare
TO reply lest he too, if he did not differ with
the Little Giant, would come in for share
CT their denunciations. On the other hand.
he feared to answer and say he approved Sc

Sewing NIachines-RepOrted Exten-
sion of Howe,s Patent--OutrsGe. Oh
fhe Public.

II is rumored, we know not with how
mnch trutb..that the Commissioner OF Pat
euts has granted Elias Howe, Jr.. further
extension of his sewing machine patent for
seven wears. This, unfortunately, the Com
missioner has power to do without reference
To Congress. After the first term Of fourteen
wears. 10 which the patentee Is entitled, has
expired, discretionary power TO the above
extent is given TO the department, but for
anv further privilege the applicant must go
TO Congress.
The impolicy of extending patents after
the first term, unless under peculiar circum-
stances of hardship. is now generally admit
ted In Justice To the public interests we
must protest against the action of the Com
missioner in Mr.. Howe's case, which does not
at all fall within this category. lie has re-
ceived, according TO his own admission, up
wards of half million of dollars for inyen-
lions which are simply Improvements. and
which, II he had never entered the field ST
all would have infallibly suggested them
selves 10 any ingenious mechanic. We do
not by this mean to depreciate the practical
value OF his discoveries. We merely men-
ton the facts as an answer TO the arguments
used before the Commissioner in support of
the claim, and which aFrogate TO M.. Howe
the entire merit of the economy in labor eff
fected by the invention of sewing machines.
We repeat that bis combination OF the needle
aud shuttle. though ingenious, was but
small step in advance on the original lnyen-
ton, which must of necessity have been i'm
mediately arrived at by other makers, and
it is merely the priority that he had in pa
teniing simple idea that has brought his
name SO prominently before the world. For
the labor bestowed on il he has been magnif
Gently remnnerated, and it is TO be hoped.
in the interest of pnblIc policy, that the ex
tension said to have been obtained by him
will turn out TO be unIonnded.
If the argument on which the Commission
er is reported to entertain favorable opin-
ion of Mr. Howe's claim be correctly stated,
il will not be found in consistence with the
view taken by Congress of the expediency
of patent extensions in general Judging
from the quantity of the Howe machines that
