NEW BILLS.

NEW BILLS.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Bills were introduced
and referred as follows: By Senator Conkling
granting pension to the WIDOW of Rear
Admiral Hiram Paulding.
PATENT OPPRESSION.
Senator Window submitted preamble and
resolution setting forth that the United States
patent office has become an institution of OBJ
preston, therefore directing the committee on
patents to consider the expedienay of some
other mode of compromising inventors instead
OF the present. system. He gave notice that he
would submit some remarks thereon at the
expiration of the morning hour.
SOUTHERN ELECTIONS.
Senator Cameron submitted a resolution re.
questing the President of the United States tc
furnish the Senate with copies of the report OF
the United States marshals or other officers and
such other correspondence as he may have relae
tive to the recent elections in South Carolina
and Louisiana. Agreed to.
HOT SPRINGS APPROPRIATION.
A message was received from the House an.
nouncing the passage of bill to correct the
omission in the sundry civil appropriation bill
of last session in regard to the Hot Springs
reservation.
Senator Dorsey asked its present considera,
ton, but on motion of Senator Edmunds the
Dill was printed and referred.
COUNTING THE VOTES.
at the expiration Of the morning hour the
bill to amend the revised statutes relating to
presidential elections and to provide for cor
rect counting of the votes for President and
Vice President and the decision of questions
arising thereon, taken up, and Senator
Edmunds then addressed the Senate in favor
of the bill.
Senotor Edmunds explained the provisions
OF the bill and said the only thing the two
houses OF Congress had to do was to count and
declare the result of the vote of a State which
was the will of the State, and could not be
overturned. This bill simply provided for de-
claring the act of the State Congress must re-
spect that act, and not undertake by any act of
It's own to overturn that of the State. Some
We're OF opinion that the functions of counting
and determining the validity of the vote of a
State was with the presiding officer of the Sen
ate, whether it be the vice president of the
United States or president pro tenn. of the Sen
ate. The Senate had held that no such power
existed, and he could not discuss that question
now. He spoke of the features of the bill as
acceptable to many Senators, and said he
hoped, from the previous votes of the Senate,
1T would receive the votes of majority Of Sen
ators. The Importance of the subject was
great. and the time, now, in the Middle of a
Presidential term, before the heat of parties
should be revived, was SO oprortune that he
hoped the Senate would enter upon considera-
ton of the subject and dispose of it before
taking up anything else.
Senator Edmunds having finished his sneech
an executive SESSION was had.
When the doors were reopened the Senate adj
journed.

Abating a Nuisance.

The runner nuisance has become SO intolera-
BILE at the depots that the authorities are devils
ing ways to remedy it. The hotel and clothing
house runners, ably assisted by hackmen, have
made 1T next to dangerous for a man, especial
~ woman, and hopelessly child, to venture
out Of any of the depots. Policemen are placed
on duty to arrest the aggressive of these men,
but they can't be ubiquitous in catching these
dodgers. So long city ordinance gives
these characters the opportunity to intrude
their rnffianism, SO long will it be impossible
to convict one of overt act. 'aThe whole
thorities have been consulting with Mr.. Farley
and other railroad managers over the matter,
and it has been generally decided to forbid
the runners" from coming on the railroad
grounds, and to make it more binding, they
will be fenced out. A line will be drawn at the
st. Paul d Pacific depot, and if brogan track
shows toe mark over it, the wearer will be
conducted up town to the station. The Other
depots are going to enforce similar rules. and
enforce them rigidly.

Supreme Court Decisions.
LIABILITIES OF INN-KEEpERs.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The following decis-
ions were rendered by the supreme court to-
day:
No. "a. Henry Elcox ct al. plaintiffs in err
ror, against Sarah A. HILL Administrative, etc..
in error to the circuit court of the United
States for the northern district of illinois,
The controversy in this case relates to the Ii
ability of inn-keepers The court holds it is
settled that whenever property is lost or stolen
In hotels through personal negligence Of the
guest, the liability of an inn keeper does not
exist; but if the guest has valuables in safe
provided by the inn-keeper, he must bear his
own loss, unless it occurs by the hand or care
lessness of the landlord or his employees.
Judgment affirmed with costs.
A LOUISIANA GRANT
No. SO. Adelaide Snyder, ct. al, plaintiffs
in error, against Theodore sickles, ct. al, in
error, to the circuit court of the United States
for the eastern district of Missouri. This was
an action of ejectment brought to recover
large tract of land in st. Louis county, held by
defendants under United States patent, and
claimed by plaintiffs under a grant from
Cruzat, Lieutenant-Governor of upper Lonisi-
ana in 1875. The court holds that, in the alb
sence OF an invalid and subsisting survey to
attach the grant In question to particular
tract of land the title of claimants under it is
complete; and that it not competent for
the circuit court to admit parole evidence to
establish the boundaries Of such grant; that
said grant remains now where it stood at the
date OF confirmation, never having been adj
vanced to condition where
the grantee could claim other
patent OF patent certificate under the con-
hrmation act. The court holds that the recent
ACT Of Congress dispensing with the necessity
of patents applies only to cases where parties
are legally entitled to patent, and that the
plaintiffs in error do not show themselves to be
SO entitled. Judgment is therefore affirmed.
NO JURISDICTION.
No. 20. Waldo Marsh, for the use of James
Rees. etc., plaintiff in error, against the Citi-
zens' Insurance company, of Pittsburgh, in
error to the supreme court of Indiana. Writ
OF error dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

lants, against the Memphis & Ohio Railroad

court of the United States for the western dis
trict Of Tennessee. Docketed and dismissed
with costs.
