Patents in GREAT Brirain.

The commissioners of Patents" of
Queen Victoria have just made public their
annual report, which will be in the har DIS
of Parliament III few days. 1t is docu-
ment differing widely from the similar pub
lication issued, not long ago, by the United
States Patent Office but is, notwithstand-
ing, full of interesting information.
Messrs. Louis, Bagger q Co., Patent At
torneys, Washington, D. O., have compiled
some tables from this report, of which the
following is an extract:
The total number of patents granted in
Great Britain exclusive of the colonies)
last year was 4, Sol, or very few more than,
during the same period of time, were
granted in the United States to residents in
the State of New York alone. The revenue
of the office was 10, $50 pounds sterling, or
more than six times that of the United
States Patent Office. OF the number of ap-
plications filed, 1173 were forfeited and be-
came public property, owing to the nom
payment of the required fees. Within the
past eighteen months, the London Patent
Office has had added to it the Office for reg
istering designs, and also that for register
ing trade marks this latter office being
new creation entirely, while the former Of
flee was merely transferred from the Lon
don Board Of Trade.

THE NEW YORK ''TIMgs" REPORT, THIS MORN
ING-soUTH CAROLINA SETTLED, FLORIDA
SURE, LOUISIANA ABANDONED BY THE DEM
oCRATe.
The following is the summary of to- days
New York Times The news from South
Carolina this morning shows more clearly
than before the extent Of the Republican
victory. Notwithstanding the efforts Of
the Tilden Democracy, and in the face of
intimidation before and after the election,
the Palmetto State, on the official count,
gives Gov. Hayes a majority of nearly
1000 votes. This result has been arrived
at after the purely "ministeriar' count de-
manded by the ''shot-gun" Democracy and
enforced by the Democratic majority OF
the Supreme Court. Not content with de-
priying the State Board Of their Judicial
powers, Athe Democratic attorneys, when
they found the result going against them,
endeayored to exclude the members
Of the press from the sessions
of the board, and otherwise prevent the
fact of a Republican majority from becom-
ing public In Florida, where the same
policy has been attempted, it is hourly be-
coming clearer that Hayes has substan-
tial majority in the total vote of the State.
counties in the backwoods districts reduce
the Democratic claims to the most hopeless
figures, and virtually give the State to
Hayes. The Demc cratic leaders are des-
pOndent, and as last resort are endeavor-
ing to prevent the Governor from canvass
ing the electoral vote according to the law
of the State. There is not the slightest
chance for the success of the Democratic
schemes, however, and Florida is as safe for
Governor Hayes as Vermont.
In Louisiana the Democrats practically
concede the State to the Republicans, and
admit that, excluding the votes returned
for them by the "bulldozing" process, they
are hopelessly beaten. The visiting Re-
publicans in New Orleans replied on Satur-
day to the last letter from the Democratic
delegation from the North, to the effect
that they will be happy to confer at all
times with the latter to CO operate with
them as individuals in whatever may seem
right They think, however, that the con-
ference for purposes of joint action, pro-
posed by the Democrats, is not only i'm
proper but is rendered unnecessary by the
communication of the Returning Board in
viting five representatives of each political
party to be present at the counting of the
vote. They conclude with remind.
ing the Democrats that concerted ac-
ton on their part, with the view Of infp-
encing the action of the State authorities
would be entirely uniustifable and beyond
their privilege. The reply is signed by Hon
John Herman, Hon. Stanley Matthews. Hop

HOW QUICKLY ,Twas FORGOT!

james Redpath's Letter to the N. Y. Times.
Every strong nation, like every strong
man Gas Mr.. Bunsby, If I remember rightly,
has remarked), is distinguished by some
one pre- eminent tr ait of character-as mo-
bility, the French; immobility, the English;
dignity, the Spanish; quick silverishness,
the Irish; caution, the Scotch, and thor
oughness, the German. What is the dis
tinguishing characteristic of the American
Is it magnanimity or forgetfulness No
nation was ever 30 generous to defeated
foe, and no nation ever showed snch q
genius for forgetfulnees. We have for
gotten Andersonville and Fort Pillow. 1t
was divine to forgives but II is madness TO
shotgun leaders have made the kindly
North believe that the Republicans have in
vented stories of outrage in the South
against the blacks and against the white
Unionists, in order to keep alive the spirit
of sectional hatred for selfish partisan pur-
poses. The old cry of " Bleeding Kansas"-
devised to cast suspicion on the reports of
the wrongs of the free-State squatters-
has been supplemented by the same mis-
creants by the cry of "the bloody shirt"
Tt has been too effective IL has drowned
the sighs of the white Unionists and the
dying groans of the black freedmen. But
now, at last, the North has been brought
face to face with peril which compels it
to give an ear to evidence. It is not the
North now that "waves the bloody shirt.
The rebels, again led by South Carolina
and Mississippi, defiantly flaunt the bloody
garments of slaughtered loyallsts before
our eyes. Well, we must look at them now,
however offensive the sight may be to sem
timental scholars, who know all about the
petty kite and crow sqHabbles of Greece
and Rome, but are profoundly ignorant of
the history Of the South since the rebellion
was nominally ended.

AN EXPLANATION, AFTER MANY YEARS, BY
COL. oHAs. BROWN, NOW OF DELAWARE.
Philadelphia Times, 20th says A Curl
ous piece of antiquarianism, suggestive of
asearch among old papers, yellowed with age
and dust covered memorandum books, and
bringing before the minds eye the ghosts
Of past generation, was presented in the
Sunday Times of yesterday in the shape OF
a letter from Charles Brown, of Delaware,
explaining all about " them $3.50. Our
older readers will recollec5 this ancient
Joke. In 1858 President Pierce visited his
home, and on his way was given public re-
ception in his passage through Philadel-
phia. A committee went to Wilmington ON
a steamboat to meet him, with proper sup
ply of meat and drink, and after the thing
was over the Sunday Dispatch, then just in
the beginning of its career called upon Mr.
Brown to account for an alleged un-
expended balance of $3.50. We do not
recollect that there was ever any evidence
of the existence of such balance, but the
Dispatch kept digging away, week after
week, for months and years, till Brown left
the State, and in the course of time the
cry faded into the faint echo of for.
gotten sound, calling for "them $3.50.
And now, after all these years, the ven
cradle Brown, who had maintained
a silence most profound, rises to explain.
There never was any balance, he says; or
the contrary, he was some dollars out OF
pocket and he offers his bills and vouchers
in evidence. These show that the civic pic
MICS in the elder day had the same intoler
able deal of sack as now; otherwise they
are not interesting. They seem to kill the
Joke; but then the joke was dead anC
buried and it is not for us to disinter it.

OF the fifty-seven parishes in the State,
forty have been officially heard frIm. Ihey
show Republican majority Of fpm seven
to eight Thousand. There will bl contests
in regard to at least twelve and perhaps
twenty parishes, but they will pot come

Both sides are now busy preparing testl-
mony which is to be submittedin regard to
the contested parishes. Chief tmong these
are East and West Felicians. In DOTH
these districts the Republican, have ma
iority of at least 1000 votess yet at the
last election, as has already been an
nounced, there was only o1l9 Republican
vote cast In East Feliciana. and only TWEEN
ty in West Feliciana. In thisconnection II
has been noted that the full voting
strength of both OF the parishes wal
polled on the last eectlon day
and the Democrats pointed 10 this fact as
an indication that they had allowed the ne
groes to vote peacefully, and that they hat
all voted the Democratic tiolet The he
publicans will be able to show before tn
board that this story is entirely unworth,
of credit, and they will prove, By the sworl
testimony of dozens of trustworthy Wit
nesses, that the negroes IN the parishe
named were forcibly prevhted from yo
ting; that they were violen3y drawn ava
from the polls, and that hundreds OF arme
men rode across the bordel from Mlssissir
pi and voted the Democratic ticket in thei
places and on their names. Overwhelmln
proofs of similar practicesin other parishe
are now ready, and will reproduced at tn
proper time.

A great many people are asking what has
become of the Washington street bridge
project. There exists to-day the same
needs for it, and the public, on both sides
of the stream, are waiting patiently for its
construction.
That the bridge would hava been built
before this, admits of no doubt, if the
Bridge Committee of the Levy Court had
notleaped the bounds of moderation in ask.
ing for too costly one two years ago, ,and
think that if the proper move was made
now for the erection of good substantial
