The Springfield Resolutions.

1t would be well for the editor of the St.
Louis Globe to read the platform adopted
by the Illinois Republican Convention.
One of two things is clear; either the
Globe does not know what there is in the
resolutions, or it chooses to misrepresent
them. 1t says;
The convention at Springfield rcafirmed the res
outiuus OF 1872 on the subject OF carly resumption
ton and opposed any incre Sc OF legalender notes
precisely whit the Globe has atvoCa'ed.
Now, the fact is, the resolutions do not
contain the phrase "early resumption. y
The language Of the fourth plank is:
That we raafirm tn dec a-ation of the National
Republican invention OF 1SI2 IN fdrOr Of q re-
tHrH TO specie p1yhao0ts at tie earliest prGcticabi,
day.
The second plank of the platform de-
clares that lit would be unwise and mex
pedient, Ito attempt the poll
cy of immediate cancellation of any por-
ton Of such the Treasury Notes" The
concluding clause of the fourth plank as
reported by the resolutions committee was
as follows:
That are opposed TO any ncrease' in the
amount OF iegatcndcr notes, and favor the gradual
retirement OF the sam" ss the volume Of the nation
al bank noJcs shall! be increased.
Had the convention adopted tins clause,
the statement Of the Globe that the con
vention opposed any increase of legal ten
der notes-precisely what the Globe has
advocated, would have been true. But
the convention struck ont the clause. there
by doing precisely what the Globe advo-
Gated should not be done - Chicago In
ter Ocean.

Requisites for School Keening.

Mr.. Weiss, in a lecture on Theodore
Parker, delivered more than a year ago,
tells this anecdote, showing the qualitica-
tons necessary for a village schoolmaster
less than half century ago Mr.. Parker
went to Lincoln to apply for the district
school. The old chairman Of the commit
tee, to whom grammars were unknown.
said grutlly: " What's your name? "
Theodore Parker" Where do you be.

Captain Parker who fit into the battle Of

Mr.. Parker-That is lodging the ques-
ton; | want him to give names.
Mr.. Garfield have particular refer
ence to nv very good friend from Mis-
souri,.
Mr.. Parker-If the gentleman thinks I
am trying to make capital of this, he is
mistaken, but if were disposed I could
point to hundred instances where the
gentleman has tried to make capital before
the country, and not for very worthy OBJ
jects either.
Mr.. Garfield did not choose to be divert
ed from his argument. His friend from
Missouri could not make him other than
his friend by anything he was likely to saw,
he (Garheld) put his argument on this
subject on grounds utterly aside from re-
llglous bias. lie put it on the ground that
the government should have no religious
bias. As far as personal bias was concern
ed, had he not served for more than year
as chief of staff in the army of one of the
most conspicuous and devoted Catholic gen
erals Of the war? (alluding to General Rose
cranz) Had he not in hundred ways
showed that he had no religious bias, eth
err in his public or private course? But
he raised the question, and it was a ques-
ton that was being raised all over the
country, whether the government should
or shoul Id not deliver itself from religious
bias and stand neutral as between religious
denominations. No man would go ahead
of him in his appreciation of the charities
administered by these women He ar
raigned no mans motive in opposing or ia
voring this appropriation He had simply
stated the question on general principles,
without the least bias in the world.
The amendment was concurred in by lO4
to 43. And so this charitable society of
disinterested women will be enabled to rem
der more effective aid to the poor in the
District where the United States has excu-
sive jurisdiction, and must take care of the
poor in that district.

The House Of Representatives at Wash
ington, last night, was the scene Of one of
the most disgraceful exhibitionsit has ever
witnessed. To full House and crowded
galleries Mr.. Butler Of Massachusetts ad-
dressed a speech of an hour and a half.
which for blackguardism and falsehood.
coarseness and brutality, clownishness and
low butfoonery, was never equaled in any
assembly calling itself reputable or decent.
The whole speech was disgraceful. and it
is the shame Of the American Congress
that it was listened to and laughed at.-N

PATENTS, 1sT3.-The Mining and Sci
entific Press (San Francsco) says the
weekly average OF patents issued by the
United States Patent Office during the
past year has been 223. making total
for the year of ll,643 original patents;
a falling off of 555 patents from the num-
Der issued in 1872, and 80 less than the
issue of 1871. Besides the mechanical
patents above mentioned, 6Sl patents
have been issued for new and original
designs and 465 Trademark patents have
been reissued in an amended form and
224 extensions have been granted. The
Press gives also a complete list OF patents
granted to the Pacific Coast inventors,
and, commenting on the same, says
The Pacific coast need not be ashamed
of the showing which it makes in the
line OF invention. Divide the number
of patents, II ,643, by 81, the number of
States in the Union, and We have an
average Of 3l5 patents for each State.
The actual number OF patents which
were granted to Pacific Coast
inventors in 1872 hine-tsnths OF
whom reside in the State of Califor-
MAJ is 337 Yet the entire population of
the Pacific Coast is not equal to the pop
ulation of New York city alone. Out OF
the 337 patents issued to the Pacific
Coast inventors during the year, only SO
relate to mining, while the rest relate to
the various manufactures, arts and trades
which the world in general is trying to
improve, SO that leaving our special ill.,
dustry-mining-out OF the question en-.
tirely, we average larger number OF in.
ventors, according to population, than

Our population bears a relation of in

mountains, while our patents are in g.

which is really surprising when we cal

prolific ingenuity. The above figures
may not be strictly correct, because tn,
last four issues Of patents from the Pat
ent Office have not been received; but WI
have given the average for those issues
and we believe they will be nearly cor
rect; but while we have included the ay
erage issue for the last four weeks, "

man was chosen United States Senator.

the Acknowledged leader Of the Demo
cratic side, and in debate he has had no
