LONDON, Thursday, May 4, 1876


In the House of Commons this evening, Sir
Henry James GberaD gave notice that he would move
at the earliest opportunity resolution equivalent 10
vote censre the effect that the Royal Titles Proca-
nation does not fulfill the pledges given by the Govern
ment during the debate the bill, and therefore the
vote on the bill was taken under misconception
Mr. Dsraeli accepted the motion not only as Vo'e OF
censure, but also vote OF want or confidence, ana
fixed the discussion for Thursday next.
Mr. Disrae's decision responded to by cheers ana
counter cheers.
Mr. Lowe made full and comprehensive apology for
the statement In his speech at Liberal meeting at Ret-
ford that the Queen asked two previous Premiers TO In
troduce a bill changing the royal ttles.
THE STATEMENT MR. LOWE RETRACTED.
In his Reiord speech Mr.. Lowe said that the previous
ministries had entirely refused though pressed to do so
TO have anything do with change" in the royal title
He further declared that much evil would have been
averted IL the Minister OF the Crown had had the con-
age tell Her Majesty he would not any more than his
predecessors lend imself to such course which, ne D

SENATOR CoNKLNG's LAW PRACTICE.

COMPLAINTS THAT HE USES HIS OFFICIAL lNFLU-
ENcE AT WASHINGTON UNFAIRLY-THE STORIES
DUE 10 DISAPPOINTED INVENTORS.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l
WASHINGTON, May 5.-Thcre arc good many
stories in circulation, and some Of them have found
their way into print in regard to the alleged prac-
tice of Senator Conkllng, iii face of law and PEN
atv. before the Government departments III this
city, and particularly before the Patent Office.
While there is no doubt that the New-York Senator
has repeatedly been before the Government depart
ments In important cases. the latest charges seem to
be very much exaggerated. They relate to a contest
between rival inventors of safe locks it beng al
legged that one of the patentees has obtained unfair
and unlawful advantage of the other by employing
Senator Conking. 1t is charged that the
Senator has used his official position to compel
a favorable decision for his client. Some OF the
charges even 90 so far to say that he has had eX
aminers removed and others put in their places more
pliable to his will. Another report is that he has
clerk of his own appointment in the Patent Office
who brings him information of the secret transac-
tions of Office, and the decisions before they are
made known to the public. All these stories should
be taken with a grain Of allowance, and the public
should wait for direct and explicit testimony on one
side or the other. Rival inventors ought not to be
believed when they circulate stories unsupported by
evidence against their competitors In buslness ana
they especially ought not to be believed as against
man of Mr.. Conklings standing without the most
positive testimony
