ing eight millions to be borrowed. There is
in the Treasury, subject TO the draft II the
Treasurer of the United States, but little
more than 100000, and there are requisI
lions in the Treasury Department amounting
to nearly twO millions OF dollars unanswered.
In the present condition of the country it
would be impossible to borrow the money
needed to meet the wants of the Treasury.
unless discount which would seriously i'm
pair the public credit, without some pledge
in addition to that of the faith of the Gov
eminent. Several of the States, in accord
ance with suggestion contained IN my let
ter to your Committee on the 18th of Janua-
~ last, have offered to superadd pledge of
their faith to that of the United States for
the redemption of any bonds it may issue to
the amount of the public money deposited
with them respectively for safe keeping I'M
der the act of 23d June, 1886. II Congress
will authorize these offers to be accepted, the
money required to meet liabilities due and
TO fall due before the 4th Of March, can be
obtained at par
Ii the authority is not granted, am salts
fed it can only be procured on terms which
would be exceedingly disadvantageous to the
Government, and in the highest degree det-
rimental to its credit. l should not venture
to ask for loan exceeding two millions OF
dollars, and nearly the Whoie OF thls amount

Treasury notes to fall due before the 4th of
March. There would be due on that day
about six millions of dollars to public credit

satisfied without subjecting them to the
most serious, and in some cases, ruinous
losses.

the country by making this exhibit OF the
public wants, and in pointing out the only
mode by which, in my judgment. they can be
met without serious consequences TO the in
terests of the Government and individually
to whom it is Indebted.
The short time to elapse before the close
of the present session of Congress, renders it
Indispensable that l should advertise for
loan on the 18th or 14th instant. at farthest.

IMPORTANT TO lNvENToRs.-The bill 'sto promote
the progress of the useful arts" introduced on the
ZZd oil December, 1859, by Mr.. Mallory in the SEN
ave, after various important notifications and two
conference reports, passed both Houses. The bill
lsraolcal and important. 1t changes the present
patent law IN many most essential particulars Its
most important provision is that all patents here
gter grained snail remain in force for seventeen
years from the date of issue, and all extensions of
such patents are thereby prohibited This cuts off
all the intrigue and corruption incident to the ex
tension OF valuable patents by the Commissioned of
Patents; and although it does and could NOT or
course, bind future Congress- its moral effact "
be to stop the bad practice of extension by CONGRESS-
ITSELF This was the last point submitted to the
conference committee. Douglas, Cameron and
Fitch, of the Senate, and Cox, Frank and Barr of
the House, as the conference committee insisted on
this radical reform, and it was passed the last day
of the session.
1t provides, where extensions are now applied
Tor, IN cases OF existing patents, for compulsory
process tor witnesses, In order to make thorough
investigation OF the merits of the case.
y 1t gives the Commissioner of Patents a larger
salary as it imposes additional duties and responsi
bilites.
II provides for certain additional examiners.
1t allows the Commissioner to refuse to rec6g-
nize patent agents who have been guilty of mis-.
conduct.
1t does not alter the law as to payment of fees
1t enarges the right to patent in relation to mould
ing, casting, electrotyping, DC.
1t cuts off all patents not prosecuted within two
years after filing.
IL requires labels on patented articles
LII enables the Commissioner to dispose of m odels
OF rejected applications, and to dispense with mod
els when ne thinks the design can be sufficiently
represented by DRAWING
1t allows the Commissioner to require the nrint-
ing of papers in. certain cases ~ p'
An. important part of the bill repeals the laws
now In force nxng tne rates of the Patent Office to
tants of the United States and those of other
tries.
The increased number of workmen required at
the United States Armory at Spring field, to pro.
duce 400 additional muskets per month after the
present month, have I'll been engaged; and great
many men have applied for employment beyond the

appointed to wait on the President and inform him
that the Senate was ready to receive any communi.
cation he may be pleased to make.
Messrs. HALE and DOUGLAS were appointed said
committee, and Immediately upon their leaving to
perform the duty assigned, tbs Senate took recess
for half an hour.
