ing very disparagngy of Patent laws, and urging
amendments which would assimate them to the British
Code 1 admit that reforms are much needed in our
Patent Office but let ask, would not the advantages
of reform such you speak OF be more than balanced
By the damage that might follow can cite one in-
stance which TO my mind, is convincing proof OF the in
efficacy OF tie British system. and were both ap-
plicans about the time for patent; their papers
duly issued 20 them, IN the order OF their ajpca

diOus litigation and at an expenditure oi seyelal hheIed

appropriated for the support Of the Government; While
with Us the law provide, that ali pateutiees be used iJT

patents as novel and descrvDgthus saving the ap
ernment fee. Would not a Board OF Examiners more
competent than the present one iuausratc the reform 80
''o''- ~ ''0'1 y A. D. DAyIs IS Chambers-st.
[We have not proposed an increase of Patent
Once fees over those now charged; and we
doubt the practicability of securing better Ex-
aminers than we now have. As to Mr.. Davis's
lawsuit, we submit that its result proves the
British system the right one. Neither of the
parties who did MT invent the process in question
received pay for it-and this was rs it should
he. We favor the British plan of letting every
man record in the Patent Office any claim thar
he may see fit TO make, and then maintain
that claim, if contested, before court ana
jury, who hear both sides We hold this safer
and better than decision by EAamlneIs.-Ed.

about the proneness of ''ye locals
to write about the weather, but really it
is not so out of place now as may be
imagined by that class of thinkers On
the contrary no subject excites more
comment aud is likely to affect the
country more generally than the very
great need Of rain which is not only ex-
perienced by the farming population
Of the country, but the Inhabitants of
the cities.
In some of the cities in neighboring
State there is Il scarcity of water, while
i'll other localities the crops are suffering
greatly. In this city vegetation has q

The RIGHTS OF MINoRITIEs. The uues-
ton of minority, or proportional, repre-
sentation is assuming proportions which
promise to give it, ut no distant day, q
national aspect as measure of political
reform. AS we have already mentioned,
Pennsylvania has tried the experiment at
Bloomsbnrg; New York tried it in her
election for judges. on Tuesday last; and
the Illinois Constitutional Convention
proposes it for the people of that State
in 1872. That body has resolved to sub
nit to the vote OF the people, in n sepa-
rate article. plan for choosing represen
tatives to the Legislature, each district
to have three, and every voter to throw
three votes for one, or one vote apiece
for the three, or otherwise on the same
principle of distribution. In this way
the minority in every district has it in its
power to secure at least one representa-
tive. 1t is notorious. that the upper b alf
of Illinois is Republican, and the lower
half Democratic; by the adoption of this
reformed method of voting, the Repub-
licans of the southern half of the State
will have representatives numerically pro-
portioned to their strength where they
now have none to speak of, and the
Democrats of the northern half will have
represe natives according to their
strength likewise. A bare majority will
no longer silence q powerful minority.
There is plain justice in this, and we re-
Joice thnt so urgent reform is to be
tried by so great and influential State,

Ii ever there was an illustration of what
