WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The friends of ex-
Congressman Stone, Michigan, are feeling
quite confident of his early appointment as
commissioner of patents, to succeed Marble.
The president has expressed his appreciation
of Stones ability and capacity and has init
mated an intention to appoint him.
MRS. LINcOLN's PENSION.
Some of the Republican senators are censur-
ing Messrs. Ingall and Blair for having de-
layed action on the bill to grant Mrs. Lincoln
pension. Senator Farley informed the Re-
publicans that the Democrats had no objection
to offer, and that they would unite in putting
the bill through. Senator IngallsDvery en-
phatically disclaimed any idea of opposing
the resolution. Indeed, he expressed hearty
approval of it. He thought the bill did not
allow enough. Mr.. Blair also suggested that
as the matter was before the committee it was
better to wait. Senator's who were urging
immediate action say Mrs. Lincolns needs
are pressing and delay will inconvenience her
very much. Some Indignation has been ex-
pressed by them at being defeated in their
purpose by objection from the Republican
side of the senate.

Senator Beck in his speech in behalf of az
rears of the pension act, to-day said the object
was to repeal this law, which, by the admis-
| sion of the former commissioner of pensions,
opened the way to fraud, and to enact one in
| its stead that would prevent fraud, and that
would not tax the country so heavily to COM
ply with its provisions. He declared his will
| lingness to vote pensions to all who are enti-
tied to pensions, but said he wanted to get rid
of fraudulent pensioners now on the roll.
Senator's say there is an organized scheme in
Washington to misrepresent them as favoring
liberal or anti-Democratic movement in the
| South, with view of encouraging others to
| commit themselves to that movement. They
point to the recent publications of repre-
sentatives Coke, Butler, and Ransom,
as in sympathy with the liberal
| movement, as proof their suspi-
cion these publications are not
accidental. Some of them are indignant and
Ransom says he intends to find out who is at
| the bottom of this plan to misrepresent the
] Southern Democrats.
