EB The committee of the U
S Senate has, it is announced, de-
cided to report adversely upon the
application for the extension of
the sewing machine patent. This
patent, which has given the sew.
ing machine companies a none
poly Of the business for twenty.
three years, covers the ''four mo-
ton feed" machinery, and is SO
necessary to the utility of sewing
machines that no machines are con-
structed without it or could be
sold if they were. 1t is owned by
Wheeler & Wilson, the Wilcox &
Gibbs, the Singer, and the Howe
companies, and has enabled them to
defy all competitors and tosell their
machines at an enormous profit.
The patent has been already once
extended, and the companies
named have grown rich through
the monopoly they have SO long
enjoyed.
The Washington Chronicle is
authority for the report that the
sewing machine companies have
placed a furd of S250,000 where
it would do the most good, in or
der to secure legislation to con-
tinue their patent in force. The
report of the committee adverse
to the extension, will meet the
approval of the cOuntry,and should
be adopted by Congress.

counties OF the State. Twenty
men were frozen to death, and
many others had limbs frozen du-

January, and the present cold
spell is almost as severe as then.
The mean temperature during the
month of January was fourteen
degrees, eight degrees colder than
the mean for eleven years previ-

Gals from Wichita, Kansas, say a
terrible storm occurred there
Tuesday night. Mrs. McAdams
was frozen TO death on the street
while returning home from a

in from the prairie frozen stiff, and
it is feared many others out in the
storm shared the same fate. The
cold is very severe.

~ John Young Brown, Of
Kentucky, paid his respects to
Benjamin f. Butler, of Massa.
chusetts, last Thursday. Butler
had denounced a minority OF the
people Of the South" as "banditti,
horse thieves and assassins. " He
was not specific as to the magni.
tude Of that minority" Mr..
Brown made some very uncom-
| Ii nentary a!lusion to minority
Of the people of the North, and he
was decent and decorous enough
t. specify that the minority to
which he alluded consisted of one
nan, and that man was Butler,
and he had been repudiated at
home. This was complimentary,
rather than otherwise, TO the
Northern people, and Massachu.
sets should have taken off her
hat to Brown and invited him to
dinner. But, instead, Dawes,
who through Buffers influence
had recently been invited to a Sen
atorial dinner, moved to expel
Brown from the House. Such is
the ingratitude of Republicans!
Both Butler and Brown were out
of order, but as between Butler,
who characterized one-quarter of
the people of the Union as bandit
ii, horse.thieves and assassins,
and Brown, who agreed with
Massachusetts in pronouncing one
man no better than he should be,
Browns offenSe was by far the
less.

Gen. Sheridan says that the
White League are responsible for
that trouble now pending. Mr..
Phelps, of the Congressional Com

here, and after a minute and
thorough investigation of affairs
from every point at view, decl red
that the White League exerted
its influence in the preservation of
peace" Judge Dibble, in an open
letter address ed to Mr.. Foster, of
the Congressional Committee, Ota-
ted that "this body (the White
League) fell under the leader
ship Of more discreet and better
thinking men, whose influence
was sufficient to cieck in great
degree further instances of outra-
ges upen the black" A promi
nent citizen told me last evening
that he was aware that General
Sheridan had a special enmity
against the people of New Or
leans, and. though he was a great
general and was jus ly regarded
with pride by the people of his
section, he was at the same tine
human ard actuated by the pas
sions Of common men. The sto[
nv he related to elaborate his
statement was as follows quote
his language as nearly as possible:
General Sheridan is DESTROYS, in a
very high degree. of social dis
tinction When he came to New
Orleans after the war to carry out
the programme of the reconstruc-
tionists, political feeling ran high,
and the citizens, particularly Bit

deprived OF their chosen represen
talives, failed TO extend any social
recognition to Sheridan or his
staff When the General was reliev.

when they visited me on natttrs

house"
