Trade Mark Registration.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Since the announce
ment Of the Supreme Courts decision ad-
verse to the conStitutionality OF the national
trade mark law, the commissioner of patents
has received letters demanding the return OF
fees received by the patent office for the regis
tration of trade marks and many other COM
munications, inquiring what course is to be
pursued in regard to pending or future appli-
cations for registry of trade marks, presented
on behalf of persons who desire to avail them
selves of the present registration system, for
the purpose of making record of evidence,
with view to possible future legislation on
the subject or for use in suits between residents
of different States, which, in the opinion of
some of his correspondents, might still be
maintained under the Supreme Courts deci-
sion. All inquiries will be answered by the
following circular:
The Supreme Court having adjudged the act
of July s, 1870, relating to the registration of
trade marks. to be unconstitutional, action on
pending applications will be suspended until
further instructions from applicants. Trade
marks will hereafter be registered, on pending
or future applications, only in favor of those
persons who with full knowledge of the de-
cison of the Supreme Court, shall request such
registration. Fees heretofore paid in trade
mark cases cannot be refunded without fur
ther legislation by Congress.
New York Clearing House.
The Treasurer today, regarding the with
drawal of the United States Treasury from the
New York Clearing House Association, said
that the matter had never been under consid-
Grafton, but,in consequence of the rapid change
from currency to coin going on in public
funds, he had thought it proper to call atten-
ton to the possibility, near or remote. that the
department might be compelled to make larg-
er disbursements of silver at New York, which
would necessitate change in the rules of the
clearing house or a withdrawal from the mem
bership. He recognizes the great advantages
of that relation in the self collection of the in
Vulnerable checks payable to and by the New
York office. and in the rapid transaction of the
immense business at that point, and would be
reluctant to disturb it. The question however
of the withdrawal will probably never arise. as
the clearing house will very likely make the
necessary change in it's rules that the govern
ment may be put to no inconvenience in MAX
ing settlements.

THE WAR DEPARTMENT.


Annual Report of the Secretary of War.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The annual report
of the Secretary of War will be given out for
publication Monday morning. Referring to
the Ute outbreak, the Secretary will especially
commend Captains Payne and Dodge for their
gallant conduct and will take the ground that
the government should insist in its demand for
the surrender and punishment of the Indians
responsible for Meeker's massacre and the
treacherous attack upon Thornburg's COM
mand.- The Secretary will recommend the
sale and abandonment of certain military posts
and concur in Gen. Sherman S accommodation
that the force of the army be fixed at %, 200,
exclusive of those on detached service. His
argument in support of this recommendation is
understood to be brief though vigorous. He
has reduced the engineers estimates for river
and harbor improvements for the next fiscal
year from about $14 900 to $5000,000, and
also made a reduction of $3,000,000 for esti-
mates (aggregating about S10,000,00W which
were submitted for all other public works
under the " ar Department.

HEARING ON THE PETITION
FOR A MANDAMUS POST
PONED.

AUGUSTA, Nov. 23.-The following order of
the Governor and Council of Maine was made
public yesterday:
Ordered, That the Secretary give public no.
tice that the Governor and Council will be in
session from Dec. LIST to 18th, for the purpose
of examining the official returns of the votes
for candidates for senators, representatives and
county officers. Candidates claiming irregu-
larities or other causes presumed to vitiate
their election will have reasonable opportunity
to be heard, either personally or by duly au-
thorized counsel.
Immediately after the PRONUNCIATION of this
ators and representatives elect, addressed the
following letter to Chief Justice Appleton:
AUGUSTA, Me-, Nov %, 1879.
Hon. John Appleton, Chief Justice Supreme
Court of Maine:
Since you issued notices on the petitions for
mandamus to show cause why senators and
representatives elect should not be allowed to
examine the official returns of their elections,
and since the associate justices OF tho court
have unanimously consented to meet with you
at Augusta ON Tuesday next to hear those petit
tions, we are informed that the Governor and
Council have passed the enclosed order. 1t is
the undeniable right of our clients under the
laws of the State to examine the election re-
turns to-day, as it has been every day since the
Governor and Council declared by formal
order that the returns were open and then per-
sistently refused to exhibit them. Our clients
WILL moreover, insist, at the proper time, that
the twenty days assured them by law for ap-
plication for correction of returns shall not
begin to run against them until the returns
are actually and practically open to their ex-
animation. But assuming that the enclosed
order of the Council thus publicly issued will
be carried out in good faith by affording our
clients full opportunity to examine the returns
on and after Dec. LIST, we do not deem it our
duty to press hearing on the petitions on the
day ordered, but will make them returnahle at
the December term of your court for the coun-
ty of Oxford, which begins Tuesday, Dec. I'd,
1879. as that is the earliest term of the court
that will be in session in the State, and re-
spectfully ask new order of notice returnable
accordingly.
Respectfully yours,
BAKER & BAKER,
Counsel for the Petitioners.
A telegram from member of the Republic
can advisory committee states that the Repub-
lican senators and representatives elect from
every county in the State will be present at the
opening of the hearing Monday, Dec. LIST, each
to see for himself the precise nature of the re-
turns of his district in order to have corrections
made if errors be found
Republican clerks throughout the State have
been sending certified copies of the town and
city records, to cover the contingency of posi-
BILE errors in the returns. This proceeding up
sets the whole conspiracy.
