PATENTS

obtained for Inventors in the United States,
Canada and Europe, at reduced rates. With
our principal office located in Washington,
directly opposite the United States Patent
Office, we are able to attend to all patent
business with greater promptness and des-
patch and at less cost than other patent at
torneys who are at a distance from Wash
ington, and who have, therefore, to employ
" associate attorneys" We make preliminary
examinations and furnish opinions as to
patentablty, free of charge, and all who are
interested in new inventions and patents are
invited to send for a copy of our "Guide for
obtaining Patents" which is sent free to any
address, and contains complete instructions
how to obtain patents and other valuable
matter. We refer to the German-American
National Bank, Washington, DC; the Royal
Swedish, Norwegian and Danish Legations
at Washington; Hon. Jos. Casey, late Chief
Justice U. S. Court of Claims; to the Officials
of the U. S. Patent Office, and to Senators

JACOB ABBOT,
THE BATTLE OVER.

IF Is some relief to those who
have long been preparing for 1t that
the great party struggle of NoVem-
Der, 1879, is over. That it has been
disastrous to the Democratic party
our readers need not now be told f;
the result is known throughout the
land. and those who have been
studying the tendency of things IN
the political whirlpool must, unless
blind indeed, have been prepared
for IL.
The whole may be summed up as
follows; Cornell, the Republican
candidate for Governor, is elected
over Robinson, Democrat, ana
Kelly. Tammany nominee, by a
nlurality estimated at various
amounts from 10000 to 10000. The
rest of the Democratic ticket Is
elected. In Massachusetts and Con
necticut the Republican candidates
are elected by majorities mucf
larger than at last years elections
In the Northwestern States Repub
Iican majorities remain unaltered
In Virginia the struggle between
the debt-payers and readjusters
corresponding to our State credl
and low tax parties is too close t
be at present decided.
t So much for the past; it would 0
= premature for us to consider IN
f future this week. So far as Oh
, contemporaries have touched upo
I that they have chiefly discussed IN
: matter as bearing upon the con
4 parative prospects of various Demo
q cratic politicians. If they cann'
5 do better than that, the party ia
better be silent and disband. Th'
a the defeat we have sustained Is con
= netent to furnish US material Il
i profitable reflection there can De
q doubt; whether the party will sell
5. the opportunity remains to be see
II Till the smoke clears on from u
i. recent battlefield we are silent.

The CITY Council did two good
things at its meeting Of last Tues

First-It established Registry

sanitary characteristics, which can
only be studied by means Of care
fully recorded mortuary reports in
which the cause of death in each
case il accurately stated. This de
terInines the prevalence OF diseases
in suggestive seasons, and an accu-
rately kept meteorological record
sunuiies the means Of estimating
| the causes of their prevalence. II
a legal point of view, no lawyer 4
ignorant of the fact that legal prno
of the decease of a person m'tn.
wears after his death is frequentl.
the point upon which claims {
!. property to vast amount are tre
ouently settled. Alderman FaXo
has our thanks.
Second-The school tax is to Q

ceivable for it. This is only con
mon Justice to the schools, as II

The County Court. I have no
doubt, believed that they were do
ing best for the interest Of the peo-
pie Of the county when they refused
to levy a tax for Court House pur-
poses, but in my opinien they were
mistaken.
This levy was recommended Dy
COMMITTEES appointed to fix the rafe
Of taxation, composed Of DIR. Cobb,
myself, and Others, but that part in
regard to the Court House tax was
rejected by the Court.
In about one year from now, the
county will probably have its new
Court House completed, or nearly
! SO. and in one sense of the word
paid for, but it viii be paid for with
borrowed capital, and that Dor
rowed capital will still hang as
milestone about their necks, in the
J shape of an ever interest eating ram

Fighting Joe was the soubriquet
by which he was known in the
Federal armies during the late war.
He was born in Massachusetts in
1915, and graduated at West Point |
% years afterwards. He served in
the Florida and Mexican war, dur
ing the latter of which he was rap
idly promoted from the rank Lieu
tenant to that of Lieutenant Colonel
for gallant conduct at Monterey and
elsewhere. In 1853 he resigned his
commission and converted his
sword into a plough-shear, which
did agricultural service in CaliIor-
mia. At the outbreak of the war
the plOugh-shear became a sword
again. and he was commissioned
Brigadier General of volunteers,
and gained a good reputation as a
Gallant officer i'm various battle from
Seven Pines to Fredericksburg. Al
ter Burnsides' disaster at this last
battle, Hooker superseded thai
General in the command OF the
