Daily national Republican. (Washington City [D.C.]) 1870-1872, 1870-05-10

Politicians who come to Washington on
business or pleasure, and remain here snort
time seem to consider II perfectly proper and
legitimate TO Interfere In our local political
contests. Messrs william f. Chandler, Sella
Martin and r. @. Barbados are the latest
examples Of the class who seem to imagine
that Il Is their mission b do something for the
city, and they therefore waited upon Secre-
tary Boutwell, on Saturday TO induce him to
Interfere In behalf Of sayles j. Bowen. The
Secretary expressed his desire that the differ
cnccs in the Republican ranks here should be
harmonlzed, but very properly declined to In
terferc in the contest
This interference Il lmpcrtnont and I'M
called for especially when the efforts are
directed against such Republicans as Mathew
q. Emery and A. c. Richards Mr.. Chand-
lers conduct Is particularly offensive. We
believe he aspircs to direct political sentiment
In New Hampshire, and we arc satisfied he
would feel insultod II the people of the Dis
trict attempted 10 interfere with what he
claims rs his prerogative there. Ills opposi-
ton to Mr.. Emery Is surprising, for he knows
Mr.. f. to be true Republican. Docs he sup
pose that the soldiers Of New Hampshire will
honor him any the more because he desires
and labors for the defeat Of one who was the
trusted State agent during the war, and who
aided them by all means In his powcr7 II
Mr.. Chandler will attend to his own State h.
will have as much as be can do without inter-
fering here, and in all kindness wcsay tohim,
In connection with our contest, "mlnd your
own business"
With reference to Mcssr1 Martin and Bar

In assuming to represent them In local matters,

In any way identified with them or entitled to

The Chronicle would have its readers be-
lleve that II was highly improper for Mr..
Emery TO contribute out OF his OInH means
$500 towards dofraying the expense Of the
demonstration on the night of the 18th Of April,
In celebration Of the fifteenth amendment,
but not word IA to the proprioty or impro-
priety Of Mayor Bowen (through and under
the lead Of the ward cOmmissioners) ordering
out on the 18th Of April hundreds of men,
horses and carts in the employ and under the
pay Of the corporation to help make up q
show for his Qualification. No work was done
on that day, yet the men were allowed each
90, and for horses and carts IS. The tax
payers have to foot these bills. The cost Of
the grand and imposing procession on the
night Of the 18th, which was entirely UOliIn-
tdry and unlike that Of the 18Th, was without
oOmpuisiOn on the part Of those who Joined In
the ceremonies, was made up by private sub
scription
Mayor Bowen has no right to pay out a
dollar Of the peoples money for any such pur-
pose, andwe hope that Register John T. Cook,
when called on to issue q draft to meet these
or any other unauthorized claims, he will
positively refuse. Register Cook can guard
the interests Of tho people Of this city; he
stands between the Mayor and the tax payers
no money can be paid and no draft be drawn
except through him. lie il not required to
pay for men, horses and carts when not om-
ployed. We believe he win give this matter
due consideration, and that he will, to the ex-,
tent Of his power, put stop to the reckless
expenditure Of the finances Of the city. To
whom else can we look since confidence can
no longer he reposed in Mayor Bowen7 We,
therefore, say - Register Cook, take the bull
by the horns, and the people will approve
your course and reward you.

TIIE PATENT LAWS AND RIGHTS OF



Enron REPUBLICAN! | observe that Mr..
Morrill,. Of Vermont offered lately rcsolu-
ton directing the Committee on Patents to
inquire into the cxpcdlcncy of amcndInR the
patent laws so that the free use Of every patent
hereafter Issued shall BE- rclained for the use
Of the Goyenmcnt in al its departments; and
Senator sumner, few days before stated in
the Senate that he would Introduce blll to
the same effect, and gave as q reason that
England made use Of any patented invention
deemed Of value to her service without com
pcnsating the inventors, and that Il was quite
right to do 80. The protection granted to an
inventor Is not bestowed by the Government
to him as a right but as an lnducement held
out urging him TO make further improve
mcnts not forhis sake only, but for the benefit
Of the whole country. The patent laws con-
template mutual benefit
Now some inventions arc of use only for the
Government What private firm desires 10
use shot shell, or fuzes3 Who Is Il that wants
monitors or improvements In Notifications, or
improved field carriages2 Why the Govern
ment and no ono else. Ia II TO be supposed
that any inventor viii devote years Of study
TO perfect his inventions that the Government
Of the United States may reap the whole re-
ward. But Mr.. Sumner Is not right in sup
posing that the English Government refuses
compensation for the use Of valuable inycr-
lions The relations between the English Gov
ernmcnt and inventors are quite the reverse.
The Government uses the invention and the
inventor IL deemed a lucky man when his In
vention are so used.
Lately the English Government refused to
allow Mr.. Frazer who Il the deputy suporlh-
tendent of the royal glnhctory at woolwich,
the right to secure a patent for his improve
monts on the Armstrong gun; but the Govern
meut, by the advice OF the Secretary Of War
paid him $500 for his improvements, Us
compensation, and Major Pallasier, an en-
ployee Of the Government, was paid fl0,OOO
for his improvements In rife shot and shell
as q fret instalmcnt. Captain Boxer was
also paid for his improvements in fuzes a
handsome sum, although he was paid as
superintendent Of the laboratory. Sir William
Armstrong was paid prlncely fortune for
his improvements, and was also knighted
and the other day the same honor was con-
ferred on Mr.. whltworth for his improve
ments in ordnance.
Thus we sec that England has done her In
ventors somc Justice What has the Govern
mcnt Of the United States done for her In
ventors7 It has given them liberal patent
laws, and proving a strong induccmont for
foreign and home inventors to employ their
talent for the public good, but now 1t Is pro-
posed to blast their hopes by enacting law
which will enable the Departments to use the
products Of inventors industry for the benefit
Of very rich Government without any com
ponsation. INVENTOR
