The Frauds

The Frauds
In ths Patent Office Department are being
brought to light The report made by the
Printing Committee in July last showed that
large sum had been paid for blank books, so
large as to astoHish the present Commissioners
OF Patents, and he set about to see who had
received them. he found six index books
had been charged at S25 apiece. and
that six hal been received not worth 70
cents apiece. He found 46 caveat books
charged at mere than $40 apiece, when there
couldn't be ten found in the Office, and they not
worth half the price charged. He also dis
covered that the Patent Office was paying $40
per thousand for patent cards worth about S.,
aud $22 for card tags worth about So; and that
$50, 900 had been paid for, Of which only 90, 900
could be accounted for as having been received
Brown manila envelopes, the committee found
were costing S49 per thousand, which, with
printing added, probably coat 81 q thousand;
and while 100000 we're paid for, the Patent
ONCE reported only $40, 900 as having been re-
ceived. They found also one hundred and forty
dollars thousand were paid for patent heads
which are now costing but twenty-five dollars
per thousand. There were twenty eight thou.
sand charged and paid for, but not half the
number were accounted for as used. Notwith-
standing all these abuses, Secretary Browning's
commission cleared the contractors of any
frauds or irregularities and ordered that they
be paid an additional $24,OO for goods never
ordered. This amount the Secretary the In.
terror has ordered to be paid.

The Rat of the Period-A Fable.

Once upon u time there was a venerable
cd rat who had grown gray in searching
crumbs wherewith to keep him from star
wing. He was a shrewd and sagacious old
rat, that lived as much by taking away
from the little rats and mice whatever they
fonnd and eating it before their eyes as he
did upon what be discovered himself. 1t
happened enc day this wretchedly poor
old rat found in a closet 4 fine cheese. lie
was almost wild With delight, and fairly
dsnccd for joy. He kept his own counsel,
however, and climbed to the top Of it aud
Immediately ate a hole in it and lay there
snugly ensconsed. He felt that he was
comfortable for life and so took his ease.
His friends, neighbors, and poor relations
came in great numbers to see him, some to
crafty their curiosity, and others to ask
tavors. Whereupon he poked his head
out of his hole and delivered a beautiful
discourse upon the evils of idleness and a
want Of thrift, and advised all the rats
present to 20 to work and lead sober, in
dustrious lives; hat it would be wicked
and criminal in him to encourage them in
doing nothing by allowing any of them
ever to come about his cheese, much less
in giving them any of it. He concluded
his speech with some excellent advice to
the young as to the necessity of getting on
in life. Some poor blind mice that were
present having appealed to him, he assured
them of his deep sympathy, and gave them
his blessing and retired.

Mr.. Ediior-We sec in your paper
that you have suggested some q,
candidates for the convention, that we
think will be held this winter, 1t will be
IN important body and our best mel
should be run for seats in it.
You Sweetwater people must no1fof9c.
thqt there is some other places and dis
tricts who have a voice in selecting good
man. We have nothing to urge or say
against Robt. Snoad, l. T. Lcnoir, N. p.
Hight, Maj. Gaines and James H. Pickel,
that we hear spoken of. They are all
good men, but there are others in Monroe
county Just as good, and outside your
valley, we have up this way, jason Nc
Mullin, Col. Arch Mason, Col. NJ. L.
Johnson, f. +. Griffith, J. i. Houston,
James \. Coffin, and many others who
will make good members. We want the
candidate selected fairly, and then We will
be satisfied, and give him 4 hearty SUPPORT.
You have among YOU other men, we know
we'll, who We have houorcd in days gone
by. For instance, Col. John Ramsey, a
man who no one could object to-. Then
we learn that u OLD citizen and friend,
John c. Vaughn is settled in your town.
No one in the county would please the
boys Of these hills and hollows better than
him. He knows what the people want,
and would make a working member Of the
convention. No man in the county could
come as near uniting our people in the
upper end Of Monroe county than he.Reb-
els, Democrats, Conservatives, Republic
cans, and Radicais would all vote for him.
| don't mean the entire voting population,
but he can get more votes out of all par
ties, than any other one. We don't know
that he has any desire to run. Many OF
his friends want him for S~herifragain next
spring.
Let who ever is our candidate be
brought out fairly and we will be satisfied,
MANY VOTERS.

The Democrats of Massachusetts have
done nobly. They have reduced the ma.
iority, one year ago, from seventy thous-
and to about twenty. In New Jersey the
Democrats have carried both branches of
the Legislature by their usual majority,
That State is Democratic to the core. IL
linois and Wisconsin have gone Republic
can, but the peoples ticket, composed Of
Republicans and Democrats, has triumph
ed in Chicago by an immense majority
Thus we have faithfully run over the field,
The result of our explorations is, that it

a pull all together" at the next election,
to sweep Radicalism into a hopeless mi
