MARY CLEMHER ANEs remembers this
of Senator Reyels, Brownlow and Drake
There was one. now a Senator of the United
States, who eight years before asked for an
obscure seat in the Senate gallery in vai.l
He could not pass Its doors because his skin
was shade darker than that of the door
keeper, though his mother was a Scotch
woman and his father free man. There,
quivering with palsy in every limb, sat
another, who few years ago prayed that
if he died at the North his coffin might be
made open at one end, so that lie could
crawl away from the abolitonists. There
was another man, shaking hands with the
Senator of a darker face, who, few years
ago, presented bill to the Legislature of
Missouri that all free men of color in that
State should be sold into slavery, which bill
would have included that Senator with whom
he was shaking hands. These three men
are all friends to-day. Well, the old earth

THE MIGHTY FALLEN.-A private tele-
gram, received by gentleman OF San Fran
cisco and published in yesterdays Alta, an
nounces that the Commissioner of Patents
has decided a contested case in favor OF
Loud as against Cole. Sometime since
quite a correspondence was commenced on
this subject. Loud had the model of new
paddle wheel. which he left with Cole to put
on file in the Patent Office, and secure the
necessary papers. The Senator was, of
course, to receive a certain amount for SER
vices rendered. This was all proper enough.
But Loud left, and Cole claimed to have
made Improvements in the paddle wheel and
applied for the patent in his own name.
This was contested by Loud with the above
result. This is rather a bad showing for
Senator Cole and certainly proves that he
acted unjustly throughout.
