patented articles That department,
as l am confident is now run on the closest prin-
epcs Of retrenchment and economy, and has the
most perfect and effective organization You
propose in this bill by cutting off ffty-soyen Of
the three hundred and fifty employees now in the
department, and reducing the wages Of those re-
tanned, in the aggregate one hundred nity-three
thousand eight hundred and sixty dollars to we'll
nigh destroy the organization Of the bureau and so
limit it, effective working force that Il will be inn
possible TO do the current work Of the office This
policy, II consummated, will cause loss of revenue
to the government, and fall with crushing weight
upon the inventor and manufacturer"
As indicating the feeling Of business men and
OF Vermont Colonel Joyce had
read an earnest protest against the proposed re-
duction in the Patent office from the Lane Manu-
featuring Company, Of Montpelier, which was
spoken Of by him rs Zone Of the best conducted
and most enicrprising manufacturing companies
in my district which is doing a large amount of
business, aud paying large sums Of money annu-
ally at tile Patent Bureau, and who therefore real
ze more fully the great injustice sought to be- ao
complishcd by this bill
ON Thursday the great attraction lay ia the
Senate, and before ten o'cloc, crowds Of elegantly
dressed ladies Of the privileged classes families
and friends Of Congressmen-besoged the gal
leries Of the Senate to hear the proceedings in
THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.
Two hours before the usual meeting Of the SEN
ate the galleries were filled with select audience
The elegantly dressed ladies Of society came to see
the torture Of their whilom guest, the husband Of
one who was once the most cherished among their
class, the courty General whose war record makes
him as chiyalric a. the bravest Of the olden
knights, and whose present painful position, il
his friends are correct IN their mistaken faith in his
honesty is the evidenced trucr chiyalrc courtesy
and sef-sacriice than that Of any knighty hero
Of historic memory. The pleading Of the COUNSEL
for the postponement Of the trial 10 December was
complete surprise 10 every one The openingar-
gument was made by Montgomery Blair, who
hardly came up 10 the expectations OF the audi
ence and failed to elicit any enthusiasm. Mr.
Blair has hereditary good looks, which came by
nature from his good old father Of whom a good
anecdote is chroniced when he first settled in
Washington he was out in the eastern branch

&c must, said Mr.. Nicholas Callan, now a mem
Der OF the " oldest Inhabitants ." must" he

shrine Of the Virgin that if ever met man uglier
than am would shoot him on the spot" Mir
Blair gazed at him for few moments, sent up a
slight petition, and replied, " Shoot away II /
am uglier than You are, don't want to live an
hour longer Just then Mr.. Cailan saw his own
image reflected i'll a pool Of water, and sadly
turned away, saying " stranger, | IN mistaken !
