THE U. 8. PATENT OFFICE.

A statement of the processes 10 be gone
through In examining and issuing a patent at
the United States Patent Office, was made
few days since by cotemparary, which was
not quite full enough to conveys correct i'm
preston OF the amount of labor to be performed
in the issue OF a patent. Comparatively few
of the applications for patents are passed on
the first examination; the majority OF them are
very near like similar inventions already
patented that they are rejected, and the In ven
Tor takes his model away, makes additional
improvements. and renews his application for
patent. Many are rejected on the ground OF
the interference of the invention with the
rights OF another. If patent is issued on the
first examination 1t will furnish employment
for twelve persons, but il it is rejected once or
ofener, and new appeals are made it occasions
work for many more individuals.
The force OF employees in the Patent Office
including examiners, assistant examiners and
clerks only, number about 200, 10 OF whom ar.
in the examination division. The methods of
examining, comparing, corresponding record.
ing, engrossing, &c, DC, that are necessary in
issuing patent have been so systematized and
perfected that an astonishing amount OF bust
ness can be performed in a comparatively short
time. There are At the present time upwards
OF SJO,GOO models on exhibition at the Patent
office, and if the American genius of mvpn-
ton continues as fertile II has been since the
closing of the war, this department will soon
outgrow its present limits.

EULoG1Es ON THE LATE SENATOR FOOT

After the expiration of the "morning hour
i'll the Senate to-day, MIR. Poland rose, and i'm
BETTING terms announced the deccase of his
late colleague, TO whose memory he paid 4
fitting tribute. He was followed in turn nv
Messrs. Reverdy johnson, Fessenden, Brown.
Pomeroy, Sumner, Cragin and Edmunds. One
OF the most original illusions to the deceased
Senator was the following by Mr.. Sumner:
"There is part on the stage known as the
walking gentleman who has very little to saw
but who always appears well. Mr. Foot might
seem, Al times, to have adopted this part, if we
were not constantly reminded of his watchful
ness in everything concerning the course of
business ana the administration Of parliament
tary law. Here he excelIed and was the mas
ter of us all. The division # labor, which ia
the lesson of political economy, Is also the les
son OF public life. All cannot do all things
Some do one thing, others do another thing:
each according to his gifts. This diversity pro-
duces harmony"
In the House, remarks were made by Messrs
Woodbridge, Banks, Washburn, Dawson, Grin
nell, and Morrill,.

effect, ard Boullt was elected by a small ma
