Greeley on the Woman Question

The Hon. Horace Greeley deliv-

few days ago, on the "W oman

"Horace's position is, in our view,

that woman has perfect right to
vote, if she will agree to assume
all the responsibilities that follow
the assumption Of the franchise,

mans nature are against such an
assumption.
The woman Question, as he I'M

Our Fees.

We call attention 10 tue follow
ing extract from the last report of
the Commissioners of Patents:
when establishments are or
gained for the purpose OF procur-
ing patents, they are apt to become
more solicitious about the number
than the quality Of those which
they obtain. This tendency is ag
gravated by those who solicit pat
ents upon contingent fees. or who.
without special training or qualif-
cations, adopt this business as an
incident to claim agency, and
press for patents as they press for
back pay and pensions Such men
are often more DESTROYS of obtain
ing patent Of any kind, and by
any means, than they are of obtain
ing one which shall be of any value
to their clients. Inventors are
often poor, uneducated, and lack
ing in legal knowledge. They de
sire cheap solicitor, and do not
know how to choose good one
Tie yare pleased with the parch
ment and the seal, and are not
themselves able to judge of the
scope or value of the grant.
Honest and skillful solicitors,
with thorough knowledge of the
practice of the office, and of pat
ent law, and who are able and will
ing to advise their clients as to the
exact value OF the patents which
they can obtain for them, may be
of much service to inventors
There are many such, but those
who care for nothing bat to give
them som ething called a patent,
that they may secure their own fee,
have in too many instances proved
curse. To get rid of tt cir client
and OF trouble, they have some
times been content to take less
than he was entitled to, while in
many cases they have, with much
self laudation, presented him with
the shadow, when the substance
was beyond his reach"
With the class thus denounced. we do not
propose to compete, but our long experience
| ID the patent Office and the courts, has, we re-
specially submit, given US such facilities for
the transaction of business, that we can Of
Ter our services for fees as low as any reputa-
BILE practitioners can afford to charge and
lar below what any competent persons can
afford, who have yet to ia milarize themselves
with the enormous and constantly increasing
mass of American and foreie patents. We
charge no more than fair rem uneration We
are not willing to work for less. In ordinary
cases, our charge is $40. which covers all our
fees be ore the Exam ner and the Board of
Examiners in chief. Exceptionally difficult
cases must be made matter of special ar
rangement Our fee is not conditional We
cannot afford to work for nothing. But we
rarely tail to get patent after favorable
report on preliminary examinati n. The
commissioners report shows that about %
per cent. OF the applications made in 500,

during that year, less than per cent. were
thus rejected.

The Enqlish Mission.

When it was definitely ascertain.
ed that the Democrats would have
q majority in the Legislature on
Joint ballot, Senator Morton wrote
letter to the President declining
the appointment of Minister to the
court of st. James. He stated TO
the President that he owed his
seat in the Senate to the Republi-
cans of Indiana, and that it would
be bad faith to them to resign il at
time when it would pass to a
man inimical to their principles
and hostile to the administration.
That il there WAS a Republican
Legislature to elect his successor,
he would have resigned and accept
ed the high trust offered to him,
and not without hope of some sue
cess in the discharge Of its impor-
tant duties. His action in the
matter, we are sure, will be appre-.
ciated by the whole country. He
has declined a distinguished honor
which was rendered 10 him under
very special and significant circum-
stances, and for reasons which ex-
hibit high degree Of unselfish-
ness and fidelity to his principles
and his party.
The precarious condition Of his
health and the very difficult task
that WAS before him; would have
made the acceptance Of the mission
a perilous matter for him person
ally, for the eyes of the world
would have been upon him, and
had he failed the failure would
have been most conspicuous and
attained with loss of prestige. Yet
had the result of the election been
different, we make no doubt Sena-
Morton would have achieved the
high success his past history war
ranted the country in predicting
for him when his appointment was
first announced.
We subjoin the kind letter of
the President to Senator Morton in
response to his of the 10Th, declin-
ing the Mission:
Executive MANSON,
"WAsHINGToH, d. G., Oct. 81, 1870.
"Hon. o. p. Morton, U. S. s.:
"DEAR SIR-Your letter Of the
18th inst, declining the English
Mission, with reasons IL erefor is
received. I fully concur with you
in all the reasons which you give
for the course you find it your du-
ty to pursue in the matter, but re-
greet that the country is not to have
your valuable services at the En-
glish Court at this important juno
ture. Your course, however, /
deem wise, and it will be highly

matic--is well worth reading. 1t
has none of the vapory looseness
Of Hugo's talk, and gives evidence
that the old chieftain has not yet
put out the fire Of his youth. He

will become the raliying cry OF
future struggles for. self govern

Soldiers Of Free France!

How well he tells the story OF
the American sympathy to-day:
mot against a people misled, but
against princes, who mislead all

lean platform, and on it every
man who shares the blessings OF
political liberty in this land will
eventually--forsaking all false
theories of attachment to old dy-
nasties--take up his position.

A LOUISVILLE DIVORCE NIPPED
IN THE BUD.-A singular incident
occurred IN the office of an attor-
ney at law, in this city, last week.
A couple who had been married for
sixteen or seventeen years had
wearied Of the matrimonial harness,
and the wife had brought suit for
divorce. upon the ground OF cruel
and inhuman treatment. The aft
da,its had all been made out in
due form and filed in the court, and
she had called at the office of her
attorney that day for tue purpose
of urging him to push the suit.
While seated in the office her hus-
band came in. He sat and looked
at his wife for some time, and then
said /:
"Old woman, we lived together
for long time"
"Y es, we did, replied the wife.
Don't you think we had better
try it again ?" asked the husband
Yes replied the wife, "if you
will treat me right"
The old man rose up, lifted his
hand to Heaven, with a voice trem-
ulous with emotion, repeated his
VOWS to nourish, cherish, love, hon
or and protect, until death, the
bride Of his youth, and then folded
her to his bosom, and they wept
together for joy. Even the finty-
hearted attorney, who saw a good
case, with big fees, fading forever
from his sight, was moved to tears.
The gentleman then paid the fees
and costs and the attorney was au-
thorized to withdraw the pending
suit. and the old people LETT the
office hand in hand, and as happy
as June bugs.--[Courier Journal.
