Important Decision

The United States district court at it's recent session in Hartford decided the case of the Russell 6 Erwin manufacturing company of New Haven. The facts as they appeared in trial are these: Rudol- phus l.. Webb in the spring of 1863 invent ed reversible latch, that is, latch capable of reversal, to adapt it to right or left hand doors. In the subsequent spring Mallory invented, as claimed by the defendants, the same thing. Mallory proceeded forth with to get patent, and procured one be- fore Webb made his application. After wards Webb, who had been delaying to secure "a purchaser for his invention If possible, succeeded in selling it to the Rus sell 6 Erwin manufacturing company, who immediately applied for letters patent in Webb's name, The parties were put in interference and carried the question to the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia where priority was awarded to Webb as the first inventor. Suit was brought against Mallory, Wheeler & Go. for infringement of patent and the court decides adversely to them. A master in chancery will be ap- pointed to ascertain how much damage de- fendant shan pay.

Tuesday the taxes in Schedule B. section 17O, the internal revenue duties, imposed by act of June 3O.h 1864, end on every thing but the tax of two cents on bank checks, drafts or orders.

To partially make up for his negli- gence he gave several recitations which were exceedingly good. Patrick Handibo, resident of Amesville, was found dead in his bed on Sunday morning. He retired in perfect health on Saturday night and his wife did not know of his decease until, at- tempting to wake him. she discovered the truth. Bass fishing seems to be the or der of the day, large numbers being taken from the Housatonic daily......Our Literary Society has commenced operations. A debate was held Friday evening.

NOW M1A1OFOH
 An effort is being made to secure an en- forcement of the license law. Our liquor dealers evidently thought that the law would not be enforced, and had planned to sell, regardless of any limitations, but their views suddenly changed, and there arc now on Ale nine applications for licenses. The law is not aW which many good men desire, yet it is all we now have, and we believe that thorough enforcement of it will tend to lessen the evils of intemperance and so hedge in the business of the liquor seller as to make it less profitable than hereto fore. There was a meeting at the Cong. chapel on Wednesday evening of those in favor of the enforcement of the law, and and executive committee appointed to do all in their power to accomplish this object. More than three thousand dollars hay e been subscribed to carry on the work, and if nothing else is secured we shall stop the sale of the poison to minors and on the Sabbath day. o.

Work OF Leglslati0n.

The pretended SbIons Of South Caro-.
lima, assembled together in the State
Cupitol, are to put 1t mildly, taking
their leisure Mt law-making. and by.
their dilatory course, would lead an
observer to conclude that The nim of
their labors is tho accumulation of
money, rather. than the full discharge
of their duty as legislators. Looking
facts square in the face, it is q natur-
al Inference from the ruth of events,
that majority Of DUR present Legis.
tors have an eye moro to the "six
dollar per diem," than to tho truo
interests Of the State. Tho character
of its work too, 80 far, moro thon JUS
tifies such an Inference. .,..,
Of late it seems to be the rule, or
rather, custom, to adjourn over frcm
Friday to Monday. aud IL frequently
happens that when Monday comes, no
quorum is present. Consequently,
but four days in tho week are devoted
to the work of legislation. This
manner of serving tho State is eiuply
an outrage, and deserves condemna-
tion in the strongest terms. We
look upon it as stealing tho peo-
ple's money, drawing pay for sorvi-
ces that are not rendered.. Tho
whole time Of the House seems to be
taken up in incorporating secret So
cieties Of various names and objects,
and listening Co the silly haraugues
whiskc! !-i..sri. oil orators. Add to
these few hiiIs 'egi,imatizipg bastard
children, and a few others Of similar
insigni6cahce and We have before us
the entire work of the lower branch
of the General Assembly.
The members of the Senate have
beon more faithful in tho discharge of
their dutios, but nevertheless have
consumm ated but few acts of impor.
tant legislation. Too much talk, and
too little work, has been their draw
back. Much valuable time has been
thrown away in the discussion of
moasuros affecting, in no way, tho
welfare of the laboring classes, whose
Immediate representatives the large
majority Of the Legislature are. Nor
has anything yet been dotro in behalf
of the hard-struggling farmers, from
ths sweat of whose brow, the afore.
mentioned Solens mainly obtain theif
living. "' "
The great charm IN legislating is
evidently "those six dollars, ~ which
each msrnbor receives whether he
works for It or not. II .'..' =" .
Our only consolation 10 that q
change will come some Of these days.
and men make laws for our country
who understand and appreciate, her
necessities. .,..-0'',
