of the whole, Mr. Pee!e in the chair, on the
private calendar.
The first bill to give rise to discussion
was one permitting Edgar Huson to file
| an application for an extension of patent
for improved gearing for wagons.
Mr. Calkins: of Indiana, opposed the bill,
saying the renewal of the patent simply
| meant great suits throughout the country
| against persons VINO had been using the
patent and against innocent purchasers.
/ Mr.. Williams, OF Michigan, considered
the case good one.
Mr.. Brown. OF Indiana, saw nothing in
the case which commended itself to con-
| Sress.
! Mr.. Humphrey, Of Wisconsin argued
IN favor of the bill.
| The next bill was that for the relief of
the officers and crew of the Monitor, who
participated in the action with the Merri-
mac in March. 1852. In the course of
the discussion Bayne. Pennsylvania, called
attention to the fact that yesterday the
house voted down Il measure forthe benefit
of soldiers who were iii poor houses. and
now all at once, the great opponent to
relief of Impoverished soldiers (alluding to

| ference which he at one time had attended,
and how he and that conference had
saved the spoliation of New York city, aud
told how he wanted to appropriate $780,
600 to the few men who had taken part in
the combat with the Merrimac. II those
people were poor, let New York take care of
them. The eaacting clause Of the bill
