BILL TO PREVENT PIRATING OF ART WORKS.
Mr.. Vance, from the committee on patents, yes
terday reported to the House q bill designed to
protect artists inventors and scuptors who record
fringement OF patent by other persons. Itprovides
that all 1nfrfngements shall be forfeited to the
owner OF the patent, with additional fOrreitures OF
money, One-half OF which shall be given TO the

The committee In its report says that the purpose

cary was dlschsrged from the Army, he filed an
alleging that in December, 1863 one year and
eight months before his discharge, q comrade as
front or his tent preparing bed and injured his
back. He alleged that the assault was unpIo-
voked and unexpected. The claim was rejected
upon the facts stated upon the ground that any
injury incurred was not the result OF military
duty. Unless the Government Is TO be held as an
insurer against injuries suffered by any one In the
as sguarantors OF the good and peaceaole behavior
toward each other OF the soldiers at all times and
under all circumstances, this Is not proper case
for the allowance OF pension"

OATES IN PUSHING HIS RESOLUTION TO ADJOURN
SEPTEMBER 20-sPEAKER oARLIsIl AND OTHERS
OPPOSED TO II.
Mr.. Oates insists upon having vote on his reso.
luton for an adjournment of Congress on the 2Oth
OF this month. Speaker Carlisle and the demo
cratic members Of the ways and means committee
are urging him to desist but he is not disposed tc
do so. They urge upon him that they have got
the Senate "bottled" on the tariff question, and
they do not want to start the cork. He was al
first held on with the prospect Of q caucus on the
subject, but this has fallen through He now pro
poses call up the resolution on his own hook and
have fair vote on 1t. He has been making a can
vass Of the members on that side OF the House and
finds
VERY GENERAL DESIRE AMONG THEN TO GET HOME.
This encourages him to believe that with full
House he can pass the resolution. The resolution

reason he Will wait until there appears to be q
quorum present 1t was his intention TO call 1t up
Tomorrow or not later than Tuesday. There win
be no session tomorrow, however, so he will not
get an opportunity before Monday. He has the
pledges OF a number OF members TO vote with him.
In support OF this proposition 1t is urged that there

that is merely hope, not certainty. II is urged
upon nemDers that while they are wasting time
laid. This will have an effect upon a number OF
members, but that It will have weight enough to
bring about the passage OF the resolution, IN face
OF the opposition OF the Speakers Is doubtful,
though not impossible. There are a number OF
very strong men on the democratic side, however,
who agree with Mr.. Oates
POLICY OF THE's9RAKER AND THE WAYS AND MEANS
COMMITTEE
1t is against the policy OF the Speaker and the
majority OF the ways and means committee that
any proposition for adjournment should come from
the House, and they Will be disposed to check any
movement tending In that direction. Their policy

here still long enough to consider IL and to take
some action ON it. Tney do not intend that any
proposition to cut the matter short shall come from
The House until IL Is settled one way or the other
either that tarin bill shall become law, or tha
no agreement can be reached arter earnest discus
REPUBLICANS AGAINST EARLY ADJOURNMENT
Some OF The prominent republicans in the HOUSE
express the opinion freely that there will be NJ
adjournment until just before the meeting OF thu
next session. They profess it to be their desir,
and that Of the Senate to stay here straight
through. There appears to be pretty genera
argument among them on the question Of adjourn
ment, yet they might all vote for a resolution
sucn as that OF MIR. Oates, introduced by o demo
crat, the idea being 70 place It In power OF tnt
senate 10 act as they think best, without taktns
responsibility for the resolution.
Is THERE TO BE SENATE TARIFF BILL?
But there Ii q wide difference OF opinion amons
well-inIormed republicans a. 70 whether. or moi
there Is really to be q Senate tarifY bill. Men
whose judgment and1nformation on ali party mat
ters may generally be reiied upon, cannot agree
TO this. Some express the utmost confidence tha
bill Will be reported within 4 week. Others who
ought TO be as well informed assert that there vii
bc none. Belief In the latter proposition Is grow
ing upon the members This, OF course Is tnt
thing upon which the question OF adjournment
turns, and IL is upon the assumption that there L
10 be no senate Dill that Mr. Oates Is pressing hi:
resolution.
