The House Of Representatives has done
one good thing already in passing, by a
large majority, LOveIOy's Bill, prohibiting
the soldiers in the service Of the United
States from acting as deputy msrshals In the
pursuit, capture, or rendition of fugitive
slaves. Tbere is no earthly reason why the
slaves Of masters who are in arms against
the government should be returned to them
BY the officers of that government and It is
q great stretch Of the political conscience to
conceive that our duty to the government
reouires such service. Our troops 60 into
the FIELD 70 establish the fact that we have a
goverumens but 1t Is not therefore their du-
" to take upon themselves the execution OF
all laws made for the guidance of the sub
iects Of that government When the Sc
c~essionists 70 to war with The United States,
they accept all the consequences Of Thai war
and Il IS the height Of impudenee Tor
them 10 require our soldiers to keep guard
over their servants while they are In the
Gold. They must rua their " risk re-
zsrding nslr personal property" As well
niaht we require that a file of Southern
soldiers should establish themselves In our
cities and towns and conduct our business
for US while we are away Sighting for Oul
country.
The great leader of the Democratic party
took the same common sense view of thii
matter. A Chicago correspondent Of thu
New York Tribune relates the following o
him;
Mr.. Douglas believed in no paltering OF
oo-mpromising with Secession treason but
with the earnestness which be carried int
all the affairs of life sdvoea'ed RELENTLESS
var against it. One evening, just before b.
LETT Washington for the last time, had o.
casion TO call at the White House. "Mr
Douglas" remarked the President 10 a con
versstion which was public enough to justi
" my reporting il, 'spent two or three hour'
With me this afternoon. For several day
be has been too unwell to attend to onsl
ness and 50 has devoted his time to study
ing war matters, until he understands tn
relative military positions better, perhaps
Than any one Of the Cabinet. By the way
continued Mr.. Lincoln with that Peculial
twinkle of his eye WEIGH always toreshad
Ows q pungent thing "the conversation turn
cd upon the condition of the slaves. 'No'

lieYe in enforcing it in all cases within II
true intent and meaning; but, after e1amin
ing it very carefully, | have about conclude
that a negro instruction is a case 10 a0hieI

The Washington Star thinks that the army
is likely to be encountered with an excess of
baggage, and that it may be readily reduced
so as to increase the efficiency oftroops when
il active service, without materially decreas-
ing their comfort. That paper says:
Years ago we heard that Gen. Mansfield
then the engineer of Gen. TaylOr's army
went through the whole Of Generals IT'S Palo
Alto, Resaca de la Palma and Buena Vista
campaign, with no other baggage but three
check shirts, a pair Of wooden blankets and
q light India-rnber cloth, to be spread on the
ground at night.
In times uast, on the Western frontier Of
Texas, We served months at a time for fonr
or Eve years. The custom of that most eff
Gent service was for every mess (of fifteen
men generally to have a single pack mule
for the transportation of their baggage, which
never failed to prove amply sufficient.
Among the volunteers already here, there
are not afeW with company baggage as heavy
and nnwieldy as half a regiments baggag
should be. The chances are Eve to one that
If they move to Richmond 50 encountered
three fourths Of their traps will necessarily
have to be burned or thrown away ere they
have proceeded twenty-five miles from the
Federal metropolis.

Telegraph Correspondence Cleveland LEADER
WASHINGTON, July 10.
When the loan bill cams up to-day in the
House, which ~apprOpriates $3.50, 20, 600 for
the current year, valIandigham got the floor
and made a disgraceful speech against the
appropriation. he spoke for nearly an
hour, and when he closed the House quietly
passed the biz by q majority of one hundred
and iorty-four. Could there have been a
greater rebuke to Vallandigham2
By one Of the provisions of a military bill
before the Senate, the President is requested
to appoint Major Generals and Brigadier
Generals only from the regular army. This,
as a rule, is the only safe course, butt it could
not always be carried out in the appointments
for this war.
Washburn's 'Force Bill passel the House
almost unanimously, only ten votes being
recorded in the negative. It gives the Pres
ident power to call such aid as is necessary
to collect the revenues, and also authorizes
him to close insurrectionary ports. Pendle'
ton and Vallandingham voted against it.
Mallory's speech in favor OF Union anc
expressing the Union sentiment of Kentucky
was ON eloquent effort. ).

Gov. Chase discussed political questions be-

Vass very freely. He stood upon the Chicago
Platform, and exalted 1t before the people
The Democrats admonished him and his
party, that a triumph on q sectional issue,
such as the Republicans presented, would
sadanger the stability of the Union. He
and his associates replied, "no danger OF
hat'-none in the world-and Mr.. Lincoln,
even on his way to be inaugu' ated, said in
this city, Sc NOBODY was hurt" etc.

Importnnt Parenr Decision.

Judge Dunlop Chief Judge Of the CiIcuiT
Court at Washington, Las just made an i'm
portant decision-in the case of Snowdon
vs.. Pierce-the facts in which case were as
follows. We extract tom the National Re
publican
ain April, 1850, Thomas Snowdon, United
States inspector at the port OF Pittsburg, OBJ
tanned a patent on q valuable improvement
in heating the feed water of steam boilers by
the direct agency of the live steam in the
boiler. Subsequently, one Ephraim Pierce
and one William MeClurg made separate
applications for patents for the same inven-
ton. The Commissioner of Patents, accord
ing to the law of patents, declared an inter-
ference between the patent of SnOwdon and
the said applications. At the hearing before
the Patent Office, priority of invention over
McClurg was awarded to Snowden, and pri-
orIty Of invention over both McClurg and
Snowdon was awarded to Pierce. From this
decision, SnoTdou appealed 70 His Honor,
Judge Dunlop, aud the decision of the Patent
Office has been reversed. The judge rules,
thnt an inventor, to entitle himself to the
protection of the law, must be diligent in
perfectfng his invention and in obtaining
his patent otherwise he loses his rights; and
therefore, as Pierce resttd upon and secreted
his ideas more than two years after he alleges
to have perfected them, and in the meantime
Snowdon, independently of any knowledge
Of Piercs's invention, discovered and reduced
to practice the same invention, and promptly
applied for his patent, Pierce must lose his
claim, andS ,owdon be regarded as the right
full claimant for the patent.
The learned Judge also settles another
point of practice before the Patent Office,
and that is that no appeals can be enter
tanned by the circuit judges before an appeal
has first been made to the new board created
by the last Congress and then TO the Com
missioner of Patents, according to the law

VIraiuIa senators,

A good and true man has been elected
Senator from Virginia in place of Hlnt'r.
John S. Carlile win make his mark in Con-
Qress or out Of it. He is no ordinary man,
a. ten minutes conversation with him will
convince every one who has opportunity Of
making the test. He is a natural orator,
being one of the most pleasing speakers we
have heard. BE is a native Of Winchester,
Frederick county, Va, but has for years
lived at C~lsrksburg, Harrison county. Here
be amasssd considerable property, but lost
much OF it this year, when secession troops
ra7agsd that portion of the State. At the
election upon the 23d of Nay, he was elected,
by q very heavy majority, to the National
House of Representatives,. He was a MEM
Der of the Richmond Convention which
passed the ordinance Of secession, and bat
lied ably and fearlsssly against that mon
strous wrong. For this he was threatened
and insulted, but not injured. He was tie
prime mover of the fist Wheeling Conven-
ton which met May 18th. He was at that
time strongly in favor of a division of the
State and the formation of "New Virginia.
but was overruled, and afterwards was the
foremost in the plan Of reorganization of the
State government.
In 1855 Mr.. Garlic was the only Know
Nothing in Congress from Virginia. He
never courts the winning side, but when he
knows he is right be goes ahead with a vigor
which is r,freshing. He is about 40 years
old, with q heavy, well formed head, smooth
face, and remarkably pleasant expression Of
oountenanee. The people of Western Viz
ginia consider him the man OF the State,
and have the most implicit confidence in
hims
Mr.. Wiley, Of MonOngalia county, elected
in place of Mason. is q man of less ability,
but Of scarcely less strongly marked charae-
ter. BE is energetic and bold, but has never
been very successful as a politician or preach
er, for be IS both. he is ablut'6O years old,
very tall and thin, and suffers much from
dyspepsia. he is firmly for the Union, and
viii doubtless reflect no discredit upon him
self or his State.
