Journal in the Northwest, in which an
editorial declaration is made that the
Western Republicans " do not intend to

In few days at the furthest the con-

all signs point to the fact that they will
elicit one of the fercest and most sectional
struggles which has ever been witnessed
in the House of Representatives. The
Malone movement in Virginia, the at

in other Southern States, the action of the
United States courts in the election pros

Ex-Governor Perry, very conservative, dis
tlnguished and able citizen OF South Carolina,
who was opposed to publication and secession,
and always Union man, wants new COnsti-
tuition for his State, and makes 1t known thus:
Honor and selErespect, as well a. patriotism
and wisdom, requires that we should discard and
trample 10 the dust this badge Of negro-csrpet-
bag-scalawag rule.
Referring TO this difference, Colonel Albert
Lamar, of the Macon (Ga) Telegraph. says:
Governor Perry is a very brave and intelligent
gentleman, but we bid him beware Georgia
tried that temperament to her great damage. She
has been degraded. dlsgraced aud set back an

Mr.. 81. w. Grady, awho has been spending a
few weeks at Townsville, visited the strawberry
farm of Messrs. Backshear & Mckay, The largest

interview with Mr.. BIackshear, We extraca the
following:
"Where do yeu ird markell"
We have been been shipping heavily to New

west than to the east. The west IS our best

quence the eastern markets are often glutled.

cucumbers were thrown overheard in New

A Perplexing Question.
New York Times.

A perplexing question often arises
under the patent laws: Suppose a
workman in the employ of some large
establishment invents valuable
improvement in the machinery or
processes-does the patent for it
belong to HIM or his employers ?
They always say that they were pay
ing him for his time and are entitled
to whatever he accomplishes. He
argues that inventing is a matter
quite outside the duties for which he
was hired. For example, a pillow
manufacturing company in Indiana
employed q superintendent of their
business, and he, during his engage
ment, took out patent for improves
ments he made in the plows they
were selling. They sued him, claim
ing that he should transfer the pat
ent to them, for they said that they
were led to engage him by his as
surances that he had large expe-
renee IN making and selling plows
and devlsing improvements, and
that he would devote his time and
services to manufacturing and per
fecting their plows; also. that the
improvement he had patented was
made partly by aid OF suggestions
from other employees and with mate-
rails belonging to the company The
Judge said that these facts were not
enough to make out their case. Per
ee--~ e-re not aof9-i-od of tho riSLs 10
the inventions they make while in
the service of others, unless they
have been hired and paid to exercise
their inventive faculties for their
employers. A contract for the time,
labor, and skill of an employee in
manufacturing and selling does not
give the employer the right to an
Improvement which the empioye In,
vents. II, III this case, the superin-
tendent was materially aided by suge
gestions from other persons, he was
not sole inventor, and perhaps his
coadjutors were entitled to share in
the patent, but the fact would not
give the employer right to it.

son family, owing to their extreme
poverty, are simply tenants at will
on the place. ITO such straits have
they been reduced" says the Com
mercial, :" that they have seriously
contemplated the sale of the souvenirs
about the house which have so much
contributed in making it historic. y
The New York Tribune comment
ing upon the above, says: " Mrs.
jackson was for years the mistress OF
the White House, and it is well
known that the general was deeply
attached to her, and that it was owing
to her example and precepts that late
in life he openly professed the Chris
tan religion. The country has an
opportunity to come to the relief of
this needy historic family in a man~
ner peculiarly appropriate. The pas
pers Of Jackson, which since 1S43
have had varied and rather remark
able apprehension many years their
whereabouts was absolutely unknown
are now owned by the Jacksons,
and can be purchased by the United
States. They comprise the records
of the generals campaigns of the
Greek war, the defence of New Or
leans and the Florida invasion, and
large number Of other documents
of related interest. We think it will
be generally agreed that the govern
ment ought to own these papers. 1t
will also be generally agreed that it
is discreditable to American gener-
osity and patriotism that the family
OF Andrew jackson should be allowed
to know what want is. A little less
talk and little more turkey for the
Jacksons at the 9Th of January celee
brations would be in order
