HVG7ETs OF INVENTORS.

The application Of Cyrus IL. Mccormick fol
an extension Of his more recent patents fol
improvements on bis ReapiDg Machine excited
so wide an interest, and the action thereon il
of such general Importance that ye publish il
full the decision Of the Commissioner of Pat.
ents, refusing the extension solicited. Mr..
Holloway's exhibit of the facts involved is 80
full and clear that no remarks thereon seem
called for. The patentee was entirely right in
urging that all bis profits as n most extensive
manufacturer of Reaping Machines during the
last fourteen years are not fairly chargeable to
the account Of his newer patents, he having
been an extensive and successful manufacturer
before the issue Of these patents, as he doubt
less would have been had he never made the
improvements SO patented. On the other hand,
the Commissioner is right in his deduction that
Mr.. MCoTmicks inventive genius-tO which he
PAYS so emphatic tribute-has by no means
gone unreconpensed.
On one point it seems to us that the Com
missiODer's decision does not apprehend the
case on which il passes. Mr.. Mccormick
claims that the law gives every patentee four
teen years profits from the use Of his inven-
ton; aud ii, at the expiration of that term,
he shall have failed to receive fair and just
reward for the benefit he bad conferred on the
public, or if, by reason Of infriDgements he
shall have been deprived OF the full and fair
advantage or profit Of bis invention throughout
the fourteen years aforesaid, then he may
claim an extension of his patent for term OF
seven years. Mr. IIolloaay seems to under
stand that-no matter if aa inventor were dc.

nrry STATE EhEcTg or.

It il certain that the Peoples Union and
Republican candidates for State Officers are
elected by over One Hundred Thousand Ma
jority ench, which number was our estimate
both before aud the morning after Election
The only Office with regard to which the Peo-
ple's Union and the Republican nominees were
SiF,rert-that Of Caasl Commissioner for two
,ears-has fallen to William w. Wright, Dem
ocrafic nominee. who has some Seventeen ThOus-
and Majority over Benjamin f. Brace Repuo-
Gcar. Frederick A. Tolmadge (Upion) re-
ceivs1 for this Office over 0nc Hundred ThouF-
and Votes.
This result does not fully indicate tie emphatic
unanimity of our people in sustaining the war for
the Union. The Democratic nominees, some
DAYS before the Election, placed Themselves en-
pbatic4Iy on the Union War platform. The
(actious Ninth Resolve Of the Convention which
nominated them was repudiaied by the Tam
many-Hall organization in our city, and by
many influential Democratic Journals. There
are sympathzers with the Secession Rebels
still remaining in the Democratic ranks, but
they compose but small portion of the party.
Niue.tentbs of it ia probably strenuous in the
/ Z ormination that tie constitutional authority
of the Federal Government shall be maintained
and enforced without compromise. This senti'
mout is far more prevalent and decided now
( than it was two months ago.
The new Canal Board VIII contain an equal
number of Republicans and Democrats, but
no sympathizer with Secession, and we trust
none with peculation. We believe it VIII be
found able. upright, and inhe1ible in ITS resolve
tbat no party sLaH lie served by it at the
nublic expense. Tie Contracting Board viii
likewise consist of two Republicans and two
Democrats. We believe this balance will be
found advantageous to the public.
Tho new Senate consists of twenty.oae who
7oted for Lincoln and Hanlin last year, and
eleven who voted the Fusion ticket. a
portion of each were elected on Union ticke.l
Tins, Judge Willard of Saratoga, who is q
Democrat who stands by the Union and lis
Flag at all hazards, was elected from Il
Republican distric. BY unanimous vote.
The Assembly is a good deal " mixed but
we reckon about 20 Members who voted for
Lincoln 20 IS who voted Fusion. We count
among the latter the two Members from
Queens, both old Clay Wings, one of whom
may or may not have voted for Lincoln. But
some Of the Republicans and more Of the
others were chosen on Peoples Union
tickets, aud it is doubtful whether a caucus
called purely as Republ can could nominate
candidates for Speaker, CLERK, &C., who could
command a majority vote. 1t looks though
caucus nominations would have to be dispensed
with.
The leading Democratic journals eyince n
firm resolve that Mr.. Thomas G. Alvord (for-
mcrly Democrat, elected this year on a
Peoples Union ticket should not be Speaker
Of the Assembly. whoever may be. We think
they Will succeed in driving him from the

Bogus CANVAssEEs.--In tie Twelfth Flee

close of the polls on election doy, .Mr. Tashay,
q legally.appointed Canyasser, made his appear
arce to canvass thc vote, and resistance was
offered to bis acting By a Mr.. Armstrong, who
said that lie Lid already two CanTassers who
we're certified as appointed by Supervisor
Tweed. Since that time it has been found that
Supervisor Tweed gave no certificates OF the
kind, and consequently that both Canyassers
acted under forged certificate, and had no
right to canvass whatever. The Controller has
refused to pay these bogus Canvassers, and
Supervisor Tweed offered yesterday resolu-
ton TO bring these seifconsttuted Canvassers
befo. the Board. 1t is asserted that these
certificates were to be found at each election
district in the city where it was possible for
vacancy to occur. Was this for the purpose
of counting anybody in 7 1t certainly looks as

Let him bring these bogus Canvasaers before

II there is any crediting the news Of the
last few days-if the conclusions to be
drawn from it are correct, we are bound
TO conclude that collision of forces in
the South is almost inevitable. Its true
that very many of the rumors-and indeed
the most of them-that go over the wires
from day to day, are not to be relied on
as setting forth any absolute certainIies, but
there appears to be enough that may be
believed to justify such conclusion. By
itself We should not place TOO much conf
dence in the dispatches yesterday morning,
credited to the Especial OF the Herald,
that the Government were going TO re-
supply Maj. Anderson openly, and had
notified tue confederate authorities of the
intention. But this is confirmed by the
despatch from Charleston that such
notification had been received there.
] 1t appears conclusiveIy that the thing
is to be done. Many express the fear
that the Government is not equal to
the undertaking. OF course, we cannot
know here, and nobody knows out of gov
eminent circles, how great force is at
the command of the government and has
been detailed for the service. Neither are
we sure that we have auy correct ideas of
the force required to repulse an assault,
should one he made on the supply vessel.
This much We do know, that tue War De-
partment has ample information of the eff
cheney of Fort Sumter, and of the strength
of the Notifications and forces concentra-
ted around it by JEFF. Davis and General
Beaurcgard, and therefore has all the data
requisite to form an estimate of what gov
eminent forces would be required to in
sure success. And further, we may we'll
believe that such military chieftaiu as
General Scott, who has direction of these
movements, would not enter on any uu-
dertaking involving such tremendous re-
sponsibilities, without knowing the whole
ground, and feeling assured of his strength.
Weeks have been given to the cousidera-
ton of this subject by the Administration,
and during aIl the time it has been concen-
trating strength, and now after all that
mature deltberation could plan, and silent
but swift preparation mature, there is but
little probability of failure in whatever
may be undertaken by the government.
