We gave editorially, some time ago, some facts
concerning the cost Of sewing machines, showing
that they were sold TO the people at about five
prices. 1t will Ike good news, therefore that the
U. s. Senate Committee on Patents has decided
to report adversely on the application of A. b.
Wilson for an extension of his patent for the
four-motion feed for sewing machines, which,
has been pending before Congress for the past
two years. This patent was issued in June, 1852,
and is the most valuable patent extant in con-
nection with these machines. 1t is owned
by combination OF the Wheeler Il Wilson,
Wilcox Il Gibbs. Singer and Howe Con,pa.
MES. Thus far it has served to bring these mar.
facturers together, and enabled them to defy all
competition. SO valuable is it that it has real
lied for the inventor millions Of dollars, and /.
is estimated that the extension of the paten. for
seven years would be worth about twenty mil
lions of dollars to the owners and would cost
the public fully four times AZ much moro.
1t is expected that the failure to get the pat
ent extended will have the effect OF reducing
the price Of sewing machines to twenty dollars.
There is evidence showing that the cost OF the
average sowing machine il about twelve dollars,
and that small manufacturers are forced to pay
to the combination for the use Of the feed forty
dollars on each machine manufactured. 1t is a
curious fact that Wheeler & Wilson machines can
be purchased in Europe and imported to this
country for about one-half tho price they now
cost here, the reason being that those machines
have no protection in Europe and can be manu-
featured by any person.

REPRESENTATION THROUGH COUNTY

The present expectation is that Representa-
ton will engage At least portion OF the atten-

ment which is now uppermost with the members
seems to hold division Of this county into two

or failing iu this to accord to tho county slight

separation the Divisionists profess willingness
to include Mill Creek in the lower county in
consideration Of Mr.. BAldwin's vote aud to SO.
cure his influence in behalf Of the measure.
As the CoMMsRciAL has frequently pointed
out, there is but one way to fairly and equitabl,
settle this question Of representation. Anything
short Of conceding to New Castle county repre-
sentation OH basis other than that Of popula
ton is but y half way measure and will not OBJ
viate the present inequality. The division OF
New Castle county might, probably, be nearer
approach to fairness for the present than a sim
pie increase of the membership in the House by
three, but it will not reach the seat Of the wrone
and eradicate it. Experience has shown thai
the growth Of Wilmington city has been in fal
greater ratio than any other portion of the State
and we have no reason to believe the future viii

FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS IN THE POLICY
OF THE OLD DOMINION STEAMSHIP CO

The Old Dominion Steamship Co. undoubtedly
has policy in its railroad movements on the
Peninsula. What that policy is, has not derel-
oped very fully yet, but one thing is clear, viz
it has great faith in tho possibilities OF the lower
portion OF the Peninsula and is seeking to gain
foothod there in preference to any other por
ton. The lease by the Junction Il Breakwater
Il. Il. OF tho Frsnkford Il Breakwater road 30
soon after the former passed the hands of the
Old Dominion Co. is evidence OF the direction in
which the interests of that Company lie and OF
the foresight with which tho Company perceives
its interest and sets about to promote them.
But there are other indications which point to
further development OF this policy, and would
seem to give the Old Dominion Company u firm
hold upon the Peninsula. 1t is stated by an au-
thority which at least las the opportunity to OBJ
tain the information correctly that the U. D,
y. Co. have purchased controlling interest in
the Wicomico Il Pocomoke II. r. from Berlin to
Snow Hill, and will take charge of the same at
an early date Now, this portion OF the wicomi-
co Il Pocomoke r. H. is but direct link in tho
line southwark from Georgetown through the
Peninsula, midway between the Del. H. Il. and
the ocean, and is already in operation so when
the Frankford Il Breakwater Il. r. is extended
to Berlin, az is now proposed, the line will be
complete Is far as Snow Hill. Tie same au-
thority states that the o. d. s. Co. propose to
continue the Worcester road to the line of Vir-
ginia, from whence it will be continued by a
Pennsylvania company down through Accomac
and Northampton counties, Va, to Cherrystone
the work to be begun next summer.

STATE AID FOE THE WILMINGTON AND
WE9TERN-A GLIMPSE BACKWARD.

There seems TO be 40 many badly dehned re-
ports bruited about IN respect TO the petition
now before the Legislature, asking AID to com
plete the W. Il. W. II. r., that some reliable
statement concerning it may not DO inoppor-
tune Mr.. Saml. Townsend,in late letter to the
Gazette, in his customary style has, we persume
unintentonally, misrepresented several points.
His statement that this road has but about
miles in Delaware il quite mistake. The COM
rany is now operating about IL miles OF track
in the state and when built to the chartered
point OF commencement OH the Delaware river,
with branches and connections complete,
will have several more miles in Delaware.
Again. the aid asked for is not for three or
four hundred thousand dollars,as MIR. Townsend
states, to be gicen in State bonds, but for the
loa" of not more than too hundred thousand
dollars worth OF State bonds to be secured to
the State by first mortgage on the work, the
exlct amount OF the loan TO DO determined by
the number OF miles necessary to complete GER
tain connections not yet accurately measured.
Tho bill, rs prepared, limits the loan to certain
amount per mile for every mile OF track first
graded md bridged by stock subscriptions +; bnt
in no case to amount to over s2O0,OOO, IL per
cent. Of which will be reserved by the State for
two years interest, at the end OF which time the
road, with extended line, and perfected connec-
ton, will be in condition to meet regularly both
interest and taxes due tho State.

points assumed in Mr.. Townsend's letter. but only

Another nallroaa struggle Impend-

Our Philadelphia correspondent confirms q
rumor which had reached Wilmington in advanced
Of his letter Of All impending struggle in the
Pennsylvania Legislature between the Pennsyl-
vAniA and Baltimore 4 Ohio Railroads. The
matter of dispute is the transfer Of the export
trade in petroleum from PhilAdelphia to Bslti-
more by means OF conveying tho oil from
Oil City to Pittsburg by conduits un-
der ground, from which point tho trade
will be diverted in favor OF Baltimore.
The scheme is vast one, but not more 70 than
the movement is bold. After all their conflicts
the giants seem but little fatgued, and only
await the opportunity to deal each other more
violent blows. This last moye is rather more
bold than any previous ono inasmuch rs It opens
up 4 struggle in new field and ~ one would
suppose in the midst OF the Pennsylvania
friends.
