panic. the business Of the Patent Office was
very hight. Last month, however, the app,ica.
lions and receipts ran up to an unprecedented
figure, and week before last the applications
for patents and receipts from fees were larger
than those of any other week in the history OF

precsely those who demonstrated against the
passage OF the act giving the Baltimore and

more and more apparent that Congress should
have required all the railroads entering the city
to have q general union depot In the southern
part Of the city, approached by tunnels through
Capitol Hill, and having a common exit from

the Long Bridge. This is the true line now
for the southern connections of the BaIti-

suggested, via the Long bridge. At the same
time the Baltimore aud Potomac road should
withdraw itftrsins and stations from the mall,
and join with the Baltimore and Ohio road, the

Now that the attention Of Congress is some

evil OF allowing a set Of tracks to run across
one Of the most important government reserya-

most frequented and central parts, and con-
slider whether some plan cannot be devised to
