The opposition in Congress 10 The extension
Of any Of the sewing machine patents is very
decided. One Of these projects succeeded in
getting favorable report from the committee
Il was explained by several Senators That The
patent was for "A trimming attachment used
upon sewing machines only in the manufac-
iure Of boots and shoes. and its extension
would moi give renewed life to any sewing
machine monopoly, and further, that the in-
venior was poor, and thus Ear his patent had

Taking as text SIR. Welsh's allegation
that Secretary Delsro, by the character OF
bis official report, misled many persons into
purchasing the worthless bonds OF the North
eTn Pacific railroad, the Philadelphia B,l-
lem shows that the great open letter writer
IS Himself far more guilty in that respect
than the Secretary OF the Interior could pos
sibly BE. The Bulletin very forciby says:
II was not departmental reports that led
pCOple into Northern Pacific Investments
IL was the testimony OF men high in church
and In the state, who saw or believed that
they saw N this great national enterprise
a SAFE and profitable Investment And among
those WHO thus ''misled" none did more eff
Gent service than Mr.. William Welsh. For
~ IS fact that in one OF the most popular
religious newspapers, the Episcopal RsJisser,
Mr.. welsh published. under date OF July g.
1872 double column and very lengthy re-
port Of his trip to the Indian country; and
among other Interesting things we find him
giving his views on the Northern Pacific
railroad. The report II addressed TO the very
dreadful secretary Delano whom he now ac-
cuses OF misleading people in their railroad
Investments. And Mr.. Welsh says to his
Episcopal friends, under the conspicuous
sub-head Of Northern Pacific Railroad
AS desire 70 speak without restraint.
viii state that no member of my family or OF
my mercantile firm, has either directly or in
hIectly any interest in the northern Pacific
railroad. 90 not refer 10 the road as a con-
tlnuance OF the great natuIr highway
through the northern lakes, or of its import
ance IN developing the mineral and agricul-
tural resources OF a vast country otherwise
yalueleSs. or OF its value a. a highway to the
territories on the northwestern extremity of
this country, great as they are. desire now
10 cOnSide this railway as a military neces-
slty, enabling the War department 70 bring
lawless Indians of the north into subsection,
and 10 thus TO aid effectively the religions
bodies charged with Bringing Christian
civillzalion TO bear upon the northern In
dians. This gives the road a national i'm
portance, and should induce all who will be
assisted by II in the great work OF civiiiZing
the aborlgines to aid in removing Difficult Ties
which may otherwise retard its progress"
After this exposure. it would seem to be
well enough for Mr.. Welsh 10 address him
self entirely 10 the other features of the busi-
ness be las in hand.

The democrats of Maryland are dying to
know what shape the opposition to the Lee

Gazette says the know-nothings are working
things beautifully, no doubt, with the lights
turned down and the doors locked, but the
crowds outside want to do some shouting,
and thinks the boys ought to have a chance
to "enthuse." The same paper announces
that Hon. John Lee Carroll will shortly enter
upon thorough personal canvass of the
state.
