Corruption In the Patent Office
. misrepresentation.
New YORK, July S.-The letter pub
lshed in the New York World OF the
9th inst. making charges Of corruption
in the United States Patent Office, that
it was bought up by the Bessamer steel
ring, &c, and purporting to be signed
by the presidents OF nearly every rail-
road in the country and many promi'
nent iron-mongers, is laughed at here
by those acquainted with the subject as
bare-faced Misrepresentation, and
there is not the slightest evidence OF
the names being signed to the letter by
the gentlemen themselves. The attempt
to attack the reputation OF the subordi-
mates in the Patent Office, and make at
the same time buncombe reputation for
ex.Commissioner Fisher, is read with
regard by all public men in Washing
ton, regardless Of party.
