DEBATE ox BLAINE'S RESOLUTION.
The debate in the Sénate, all the forepart
of the week, on the Blaine Resolution, was
more able and spirited than that launched
forthlast week. Blaine at one time, had the
whole democratic hive in a state Of angry .
crruption but he kept all, beautifully on the
run and a defensive squirming. Senators
Hoar, Howe, Mc Millan and others took
part on the Republicanside, and Whyte,
Withers, Kernan, Bayard, Jones, ‘Merrimon
and Morgan, On the other. The ablest and
best tempered speech, by far, on the oppo-
sition side, was that of Senator Morgan, of
Alabama, who seems to have the clearest
head of any of the Southern Senators. He
is such. a conspicuously able and clearly
pathetic man, that it reconciles the most
radical Republican to the political change
which has taken place in the representation
of his state in the Senate.
Tim COMMITTEE.
The Blaine investigating committee headed
by Senator Teller of Colorado, met last
evening to arrange upon a plan of operations.
It is their purpose to honestly and fearlessly
probe these charges of fraudulently captur-
ing' the entire- elective franchises at the
South, to the bottom. 'The committee is a
rarely fair and good one in its membership
‘ from both parties. It is believed their report
will be such as to show the south the peril
‘to themselves, in repeating the notorious
outrages of the last election. '
unremarrox.
Intelligent and thoughtful and patriotic
men from the south, do not hesitate to ex-
press their fears that the greatest peril now
threatening their section, is the growing
tendency towards repudiation of state-and
municipal obligations. Aside from a lurking _
hate of the National Govnrnmcnt, there is a
serious lack of commercial honor among
many who assume to influence the southern
mind and fire the southern heart. It is not
doubted that were they in full control of the
government, the southern leaders influenced
who have herto,
who do not hesitate to admit that our peace
and safetydepend upon, repelling the advan-
cos of the Democratic party to supreme
power in the nation.
. srnornro LIGHT.
The Wallaces, of Ansonia, are here and;
putting in their electric light machinery in
ihc Senate end of the Capitol. They placed
awe of their largest electro-magnetio ma—
(blues in the fan room in the Senate base-
ment, to generate the needed electricity .to
supply their lanterns placed over the glass
ceiling of the Senate chamber. They expect
to have all ready for an experimental trial of
their light next weeks Mr. Clark, the able
and efficient architect of the ‘Capitol, is ab-
sorbingly interested in the subject, and is
determined ‘ that only the best appliances
known shall be introduced in to the Capitol
building. It is a conspicuous compliment to
.r’ ‘onneeticut as well as to Ansonia electricians
and inventors that they have been accorded
t‘n: opportunity to prove the superiority of
their devices. Another machine has been ‘
Ul’ilt'l‘ed and put in the Public Printing office,
and Mr. LeDuc, .the Commissioner of Agri-
culture, is impatient to have the ample
grounds comprising the park surrounding
his Department, also lit up with the Wallace
.liilcctric Light.
, Tun xnw PATENT LAW.
Senators Booth-and Wadleigli have made
very persistent efforts, during the week, to
have‘the new Patent Law passed. But the
disposition 'to oppose and amend it, make‘its
ultimate passage in any shape that it ought
to pass, extremely doubtful.
PATENT OFFICE.
Gen. Paine, the new Commissioner of Pat-
ents, is already making‘himself an exception-
al record for independence,fairness and clear-
headed legal ability. . The salary attaching to
llllS important and responsible branch of the
public service being less than the usual re-
tainerina first class patent suit, has had the 1
effect too often to fill the position of Com—
missioner with gentlemen of rather slim legal
attainments. It will .be gratifying to the
inventors Of Connecticut, 'who Comprise‘
about one eighth of all the appli-'
coats for patents, in the country, to know '
that a really first-class man and lawyer is
now at its head.
PATENT PIRACY.
E. Blackman', Esq., our whilom Norwalk
Druggist, has suffered the experience of
about everyi'inventor whose ingenuity has
blessed mankind. Reinvented a lamp fOr
family use, while yet' a resident of Norwalk,
oi burn kerOsene oil, without the use of the
ordinary glasschimney. , This invention he
perfected add‘put on the market after remov-
ing to New York. The device became very
popular and vast numbers of his lamps were
sold, when lamp dealers all over the country,
and notable ' Bennett ‘B. Schneider of the
DouglasLiimp 00., Of New York, began to
Illl'tltc Blackni‘an’s invention. Schneider of-
Med to pay'Black'inan a contemptibly small
royalty zit-the first, which being declined, he
has bought up about all the lamp patents
existing, .whi'éh 'could by any possible means
he tortured info ' any resemblance to Black-
man’s, and'on‘thcsc he‘ has instituted “Inter-
ference Issues” before the Patent Office here.
Two have ‘iilready been tried and rightfully
decided in Blackman’s favor. Two more
have just {been heard and Will no doubt be
similarly decided, Blackman’s case was
ably argued by E. H. Brown, Patent Attor—
orney, NO. 7 Warren St., New York, and
little doubt is entertained by anyone knowing
the facts,but that Blackman will win in these
two last cases‘asdie did in the two first, as he
clearly deserves to do; ‘ ‘

JANUARY SESSION, 1879. 5‘
AN .ACT RELATING TO CONVIC'I‘
LABOR.
Be it eziaeterl by the Senate and Hmeof
boned. :—-—
a
No director or warden Of the State Prison
shall hire out'to any contractor the labor of
. any of the prisoners therein, for their employ-
ment in any mechanical trade or in any
occupation requiring skilled labor.”
The act contemplates every skilled indus-
try, and is not a special grievance of batters;
it is common to shoe makers, cigar makers,
wire makers and rule makers particulary, as
those are the onlytrades now being carried
on in Whethersfield. In New York State
Prisons there is moulding, harness making, .
_ and batting to such an extent as to almost
ruin those trades in many sections of the
country, besides other old-timed industries.
The Directors of our State Prison have the
power to put the convicts to work at any
industry they deem proper. The general
mode of employing convicts is for three,
four or five years. A contract being signed
by the State for that length of time, as is the
casein New York, and Massachusetts. The
batters want to keep their trade out Of'
Wethcrsfield. Theysay its no time to put
off action until the trade is there established
by force of'n contract on the pail of the
State for years. Now is the time to do-
monstrate to the State the evil it would be,
illustrated by its effect from other State'
Prisons. Convicts are to labor, but if that
labor is to be disadvantageous to the commu
nity ‘for whose protection the convict is
imprisoned, then the principle is entirely
wrong, and evidence of short sighted policy
on the part of. our legislators, for the convict
is doing more damage as a convict than he
would be as a criminal atlarge. 'In the State
of Pennsylvania at its last session the legis-
lature appointed _a special committee to
enquire into convict labor, and they reported
strongly against its continuance on skilled
industries. \Ve wish to see our legislature
do ample justice to our State Prisons, but
above all we want our industries, Our sources
of wealth protected. The Bill is warmly
supported by other trades and a constant
increase in public opinions, and will most
undoubtedly pass the legislature if wise
con’nSels prevail. ‘ .

ing, the thhriust, with the following result.

Supt.; Stephen H. Holmes, Sec; George
W. Selloek, Treas. ; Henry Chasmar, Libra-

Lower Prices for Coal.
The sale of 100,000 tons of Scranton coal
yesterday by the Delaware, Lackawana and
Western Railroad Company was largely
attended. The prices were as fellows: ‘
Steamer, $2 42; Grate, 2 55;
265%; Stove, 298,—}; Chestnutt, 2 42%.
Immediately after the sale, the Pennsyl-
vania Coal Company issued its trade circu—
lar,(not to contractors), showing the fol—
lowing reductions from last month’s prices :

‘ Reduction Of from 40 to 00 cents a ton
were also made by thoDelaware and Hudson
Canal and the Lackawana and Wilkesbai're
Companies—Tribune, Dec. 10.
Yesterday’s sales of coal, following close
upon the failure to renew the combination,
show a marked decline in prices. All the
great companies have lowered their prices
:10, 60 and 70 cents a ton, and the prospect
is good for that kind of improvement in the
market, by which, as a spokesman of the
coal combination ruefully prophesized som e
time since, “the. consumer alone will be
the gamer." The consumer will try to
bear up under his load of sorrrow.— Tribune
Dec. 10. ' .
The question here is, Will Norwalk con-
sumers be the gainers? , An answer from
the dealers is in ordergio will be first
to rise (or fall) to the qu ion? , . '
It is fair to state that the prices given
above are wholesale, probably cargo prices.
But the question is as to the? reduction of
“40, .00. and 70 cent’s a ton ?"
The retail dealers in New York, dropped
50 cts a ton on the day after the above
sales. '

The subject was: “What I saw at midnight

terest, as was demonstrated by the attentive-
ness of his listeners. The reverend gen-
tleman gave a description and told of some
of the iniquity. He spoke about the bucket
shops, the concert saloons and other places
of vice. He told how they lived in the
tenement houses and _the underground apart-
ments. He " also spoke about the revival
in John Allen's den some years ago. It will
be remembered that John Allen was said
to be the wickedest man in New York. He
spoke about Kit Brown’s rat pit- the place in
