WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.--The appointment of
Commissioner Montgomery, of the Patent Office,
u.s. perhaps, one Of the best that President Cleve-
land has made Montgomery had an excellent
practice as lawyer id orI-..,ean before ne re-
ceived his appointment as Commissioner % DIV
ents, and his name had not been mentioned to
the President fifteen minutes before the nomi-
nation was sent to the Senate, and STILL in spite
of this fact, there are some lawyers in the city,
whose business is not patent law, who are dis
posed to cavil at the new Commissioners mode
of conducting business. The trouble
Is that Montgomery is too much Of a
lawyer, and too thoroughly efficient a judge to
suit them Sometimes in the past men of less
ability have filed this position, and have catered
to the wants of the attorneys, frequently with
out much regard to the law. Montgomery has
met in his brief career many hundreds of in
ventors, and of course each man thinks it absurd
that he does not see either side Of the question
in the same light that they do. Hence the dis
satisfaction with him. 1t is said that some of
these men have combined in movement upon
the President to secure the removal of the new
commissioner; but it is hardly likely that the
President will listen to men whose judgment is
biased because they have not received all that
they have asked for 1t would be difficult
for him to find more competent man to fill the
important position of Commissioner of Patents
Shan the one he has selected.

Comptroller Maynard Replies to the Appli-
cation of Mr.. Huntingdon.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Second Comptroller
Maynard has made report to the Secretary Of
the Treasury OH the application of G. P. Hun
tington, vicepresident of the Central Pacific
Railroad Company, to have compensation earned
by the company in the government service over
the non-srbsidized portions OF its lines paid over
to the company. He says that prior to June 81
1888 the government had retained all the com
pensation due the company for government
transportation, and applied it, required by the
provisions of the Thurman act of 1878-one half
to the extngushment of interest on the gov
eminent subsidy bonds, and one-half credited to
the sinking fund. Pursuant to a decision of
First Comptroller Lawrence Secretary Folger
on that date made an order that thereafter only
that portion of the earnings of the company in
the government service which accrued
Hpon the bonded portion Of these roads
should be retained by the Secretary of the
Treasury under the Thurman act, and that the
remainder. which constituted the larger part,
should be paid over to the company. This
practice was followed rtil Jan. H. 1884, when
the Secretary made another order suspending
4he operation of the order of June 81, 1888, until
Congress should have an opportunity 10 legislate
officers not to make any disposition of the
amounts found due the company for transporta-
ton over the non-subsidized portion of their
dimes. Congress omitted to take any action,
and meanwhile about $50, GOO, 900 of earnings had
accrued which remained undisposed of under
fhe latter order of the Secretary. The Second
Comptroller recommends that both the orders be
reversed, and that the practice which prevailed
before the adoption of these orders be revised
and continued, and that the amount above, which
had accrued and remained in suspension after
The latter order had been issued, be covered into
the Treasury and be applied as required by the
Thurman act. He is of the opinion that section
two of this act relates to all the earnings of the
company in the government service and requires
the whole amount Of compensation due therefor
to be withheld by the Secretary of the Treasury,
and one half applied to the payment of accrued
Interest on government aid bonds, and the other
half placed to the credit Of the sinking fund
The Comptroller says the company will sustain
no loss in consequence of this disposition of the
moneys, as the whole amount will be applied,
either presently or ultimately, to the payment
of their Indebtedness to the United States, while
greater security will be insured to the govern
