can Anti-slayery Society and it. auxiliaries.
Inc same diversity of opinion II at thi
momrnt seen in the Temperance ranks, an
attempts are making to organize bationa
temperance patty politically as essential 10
success. Judge Ptman il in favor OF such
an organization; hence the Importance. in
h,s estimation, Of "seIzing the trumpet and
blowing for some political sound" after the
manner of the distinguished members of
Congress eulogized him. But his illustration
Is an unfortunate one. The Liberty PARTY
proved detrimental to the unity of the aboi-
ition ranks, and especially TO the moral aud
religious aspects OF the cause, by diverting
attention from what constituted the most
formidable to be overcome-to wit, the
religious and ecclesiastical sanction given to
siavery-and bringing to its support, among
many excellent aud devoted friends of the
oppressed, those who had fictitious purposes
to subserve and disappointed political Mi
g.. ca"ners, waiting for something 70 turn up.
Inc consequence was that, starting upun a
comparatively high plane, with James G.
biincy, OF kentncky, a repentant slave
holder and an immediate emancipatlnnIst.
for Its presidential candidate, it went down
into the free soil party, having no other
ISSUE tnau that oi the non extension OF
slavery, with first Martin Van Buren, aud
next John Z. Hale for its nominee, the
6rst-named with not a drop of an,i-slavery
blood in his veins. Out of these and the
old Wing party the Republican party was
formed, but with no wish or intention to
make any change in relation to all the pro-
slavery compromises Of the United States
constitution recognized from Washington to
Lincoln; and had it not been for the insane
conduct OF the South in sundcrng the Union
slaves would he still clanking their chains

Happily, that insane outbreak necesstated
the overthrow of the slave system, and since
that time the record of the Republican
party toward the colored race has secured
Tor itself historical renown.-Iadependeat

A Deserved llOllur.

In an article on Drawing in the Colored
Soho Dis, we omitted to mention the fact that
the Trustees for colored schools have honored
Mrs. Sella Martin with the position of
Teacher of Drawing. The people Of the
country in almost every part of which Mrs.
Martin has been at some time or other a
visitor, will agree with us that no more ami
able and spoiless lady is to be found among
our race. But all may not know as well, that
she is an accomplished artist and thorough
disciplinarian. Descended from an old uR-
drr-grounl railroad conductor, and allied by
marriage to an earnest and faithful friend of
his race, il is natural that Mrs. Martins SYM
pathies and tastes should lead her To the
neat work of adding a new accomplishment
to the mind of our colored youth who gradu-
ate from our lublic schools.
ESJ-Some wears ago a machine was invent
ed by a Frenchman named Care, for the
artificial production OF ice, and the inventor
secured a patent from our government. 1t
has been in operation at New Orleans ever
since, and, it is believed, in several other cities
of the south, and its product is sold there for
five dollars a ton less than the ice imported
from New England. Recently it was intro
ducedin San Francisco, where it speedily drove
from the field the companies that had supple |
the city with ice from Alaska, and then, with
the unvarying instinct of monopolies, the
manufacturers put up the price to a figure be-
yOnd what was charged for the imported ar
ticle. The patent for this invention expires IN
1874, and NJ. Care applied, some time since,
for II renewal. This application has recently
been refused by the patent Office at Washing
ton. The commissioner sets forth that the in
yentor had been protected in his patent for l3
wears, during which time he had made sGj 900.
Then he proceeds to argue that the patented
process is little more than that which was
projected and successfully experimental upon
by Faraday, since both consist in the use of
The gas OF ammonia To extract the caloric
from water and thus CONCEAL il. There is no
doubt that the decision of the commissioner
is eminentiy just and commendable. The
measure of patent shout be a fair reward for
the inventor, and in determining this it is
quite proper TO take into account the question
how far the invention was assisted by the
labors of others. But there is another con-
sideration which is second only TO that OF
Justice to the inventor; that is, the interest
of the public. SO long AS this machine Is
patent, il will be Of little service in reducing
the cost OF ice, which is becoming very i'm.
portant commodity sanitary agency as
well as for its ordinary uses. But when the
industry shall have been relieved of the incu-
bus of paying a royalty, il cannot fail TO bring
about vast reduction in the cost Of ice,
wherever it is not a natural product. Patents
are one of the forms Of monopoly that the
people are quite Unsuitable in rising against.

WEvould suggest to the members @

WEwould suggest to the members OF
the Legislature that large share OF the
misrepresentation OF which they COM
plain might be avoided by the pubics-
ZION of some Of thr important bills they
have under consideration. the mpa-
ger mention in the Senate or House
Journal Of Bill No. -, relating such
or such subject conveys no informa-
ton to the public and gives an excel
lent opportunity to any person who
chooses to create false Impression a.
To what the bill contains. The truth
is, that the people OF the State do not
know what the Legislature is doing
No person, not a member
of the Legislature has clear
idea of the provisions OF halt a dozen
laws that have been passed at this SEES
sion. We have not seen copy OF
single bill introduced since the legisla-
i've recess and cannot say whether or
not the proposed laws are justly liable
10 the objections that have been urged
against them. 1t is altogether probable
that, il the public could know the exact
provisions of the several important
bills that are under consideration, q
better appreciation OF legislative labors
would prevail and there would be less
dissatisfaction expressed. AT the close
OF the present session almost a com
pletely new code OF laws will have been
adopted for the government OF
the State, but neither the courts
nor the citizens will know the
provisions of single chapter Of the
code. This ignorance might at least be
modified and some idea OF the nature
OF the laws be formed, if the members
who are 80 sensitive to criticism and so
anxious for commentator and defense
by the press were mindful to furnish
the press with copies OF the most i'm
portant bill now being considered at
Charleston.

Land. for the soldiers, their and
widows and Orpbans-why don't
the senate pass the bill ?
WEST UNION, W. Va, Feb. %, 70.
Editors of the Register:
On the 18th Of December, 1872, the
House of Representatives in Congress
passed an "Act" proposing to give to
all bonorably discharged soldiers and
sailors and marines, their widows and
orphans, each one hundred and sixty
acres of land, to be located in the name
of the person entitled to it, and patent
for the same, issued to the one IN
whose name the location was made.
Now, Mr.. Editor, il the Congress OF the
United States had never made any
proposition to paw bounty, or give land
10 the soldiers, DC, they would have
been satisfied without 1t, but as by their
own provisions, from time to time
made. the Congress has been proposing
to legislate in favor OF this class OF our
citizens, we have come to look upon
the public domain as belonging to US,
and do not hesitate 10 say that the
Act OF December IL, 1872, is just about
what is required it it is the Intention OF
the law makers to benefit the soldiers
But we find the bill has fallen into
the hands o. the Senate, now notorious
for struggling everything lookingto the
good OF the people The Senate would
not hesitate to enact law granting
millions of acres to some wealthy rail-
road corporation, and also to grant
money TO build the proposed railroad, but
when the soldiers claim is before them,
aud it Is ascertsined that it will take a
few millions acres Of land to give each
one tarm, the matter Of giving away
land alone is looked upon with pecu-
liar horror. Had it not been for the
soldier how much public land would
there now be to give away?
| have tried to state few points In
this and would like to hear from others
what is thought on the subject. Have
YOU no correspondents who can ventl-
late the matter? II moi in favor oil
! granting the land, let US hear the rea'
sons against 1t ".
