statement published OF hip-building in
Maine from Is59 70 the present time shows that
that important trade is reviving, and that the
tonnage built in ISIS is greater than tust of any
year since that first named. This stat ,ment
shows that in ls59 the total tonnage built in the
ship yards was about ,OOc tons, and for the
season of 1soe-Gl the tonnage was 81 ,3i3 tons.
The average tonnage for the three years end
From 1861 down to the season of lsi2 there was
a very great falling of in the tonnage built
from year to year. 1t seems, however, that the
ship builders of Maine were stimulated TO re-
newed activity by the increase in foreign
ffeights and tho scarcity of American tonnage
afOst, and in 1872 the tonnage of vessels built
in Name came up TO that of 1859, being about
40 eco tins. From returns for 1873 from every
customs district except Psssamaq uoddy, it ap-
pears that there were 227 vessels, of an aggre-
gate tonnage of Si,6SH, built; the vessels being
ciassed a. fOliOws:-I0 ships, % barks, bark
entines, 10 brigs, $50 schoOners, II slOops, 10
steamers. and propeller. In 1872 the tonnage
built in the PassamaqUoddy district was i,Ssl 81
tons, divided among % vessels. From unofficial
Information it IL thought the tonnage of the
district for i>73 will be not less than 5000 tons
chiefly in schconers, which would make the
total tonnage of the state not less than s. $50
tons. and Increase the number of vessels to
about 90. This is an increase of i2O per cent.
over isI2. with an approximate value of nearly
- o0O,O0o. This is certainly an encouraging
exhibit. and shows that Names vital industry
bids fair to expand from year to year. not
WitbstaD ling the fears which have been ex-
pressed to the contrary.

The National Patent Convention, which
meets in this city next week, will probably be
attended by large number of persons interest
cd in patents. The convention is the result of
the International Patent Congress, held at
Vienna in August last, and will be the first
over held in the United States. The subjects
TO be discussed, according to the circular of the
committee, are the difficulties to which Ameri-
can inventors are subjected in attempts to Sc
cure some protection for their inventions in
foreign countries; the improvement of the Pa
tent laws generally, and the propriety of Or
gaining United States Patent Association.
1t is also probable that it will be urged that an
intrOducer of an invention from one country to
another should not obtain an exclusive right to
such invention The natural right belongs to
the inventor only, and if he negIects to secure
it, it reTerts TO the public. The subject of pa
tents Is much more important one than ap-
pears on first consideration. Every person is
affected to a greater or less extent by the laws
regulating patents, and il Is desirable that any
improvements introduced should LOOK not only
to the reasonable protection OF the patentee,
but OF the public.

The Supreme Court of the United States has
just rendered a decision confirming the validity
of large amount of illinois registered town
bonds. issued IN aid of the Illinois Grand Trunk
railroad. The town attempted to avoid the in
terest on the bonds, alleging that they were
illegally issued. The basis of the decision OF
the court WAS that no irregularity precedent to
issue. not even fraud on the part of the agents
OF the town, can vitiate the bonds in the hands
OF an innocent holder. The court applies the
same rules to these bonds a, are applied to
commercial paper. The principle underlying
the deolron is of general application, and
hence OF general Importance.

message, thinks the subject OF accidents fro N

warrant state legislation. He says the number
OF deaths caused by the explosion OF such oils
has been so fearfully on the increase that
proper penalues ought to be provided for the
punishment of those persons who sell oils which
cannot stand proper ire-tests, and that an ex-
animation Of existing laws on the matter will

Would II not be well for the - liberal" papers
10 turn their eagle eyes upon the financial con-
Gition Of York state? 1t seems according to
the Post, that for several wears the legislature
OF that state has systematically and illegally
increased the Indebtedness of the state By or
dering expenditures without providing the
means to meet them. Only one of two things
has been left for the state officers to do-refuse
to enforce the commands of the legislature or
misspply the money which belonged to other
departments. The latter course has been
adopted. and the misspplication has been going
on until the trust and sinking funds have been
robbed of nearly nine million dollars Thus,
while the debt has been unlawfully increased,
the states pledge to keep sacred the trusts re-
posed in it has been violated, and the lesisla-
ture and the state officers have mistaken their
functions or wifully usurped powers that were
never before contemplated.
