The Term. Commission Bill which passed
the House with sundry amendments late last
Saturday evening, occupied the attention of
the Senate the forepart of this week and on
Tuesday the Senate agreeing with the amend-
ments, was finally disposed of, The matter
now lies before the President who very pro'. -
ably will approve the measure. A rush is
being already made for positions on the Com-
mission as the pay is moderately good and
the chances to serve personal interests and
time of service, indefinite. Such .“fat”
places are seldom left ion without applicants
and the President even 'now, finds himself
overrun with clamorous petitioners for the
. places. Senator Eaton of Conn., says he will
have none of it, having had his share in
its passage. -
After disproving of the Tariff matter the
Senate turned its attentidn to the bill provid-
ing for a ‘
court's or arrears.
The above bill, prepared by the acting
Vice President and cx-Supreme Court Judge
Davis, aided by Judge Drummond, was the
- subject of a very lively contest in the Senate
yesterday: -It creates nine ‘ intermediate
courts, or one in each of the existing circuits,
and eighteen new circuit judges or two addi-
tional for each circuit, who are to be ap-
pointed by the President. The court of
each circuit will then consist of the associate
justice of the Supreme Court allotted to that
circuit, the three circuit judges and two dis-
trict judges, the latter to be‘ designated for
the succeeding term at the end of each term.
If practicable thege are to be designated in
rotation. Four of the judges will constitute
a quorum. Appellate jurisdiction is con-
ferred upon the new court over the decrees
of the circuit and district courts in causes
involving more than $500, or where a circuit
or district judge shall certify that the case
involves a question of general importance.
Decisions of the Appellate Court On ques-
tions of fact are to be conclusive, but reviews
upon points of law may be had upon writs of
error to the Supreme Court when the matter
in controversy exceeds $10,000—thc present
limitation tax being $5,000. Ini'a criminal
case, a writ of error may be sued out if
allowed by a judge of the Appellate Court,
but cannot be granted after an unsuccessful
application to another judge. If the judges
do not differ, and the case is within their
jurisdiction, their action is to be final, and
the writ may betaken up upon the question
of jurisdiction, but not to review the whole
case. Exceptional permission to appeal to
the Supreme Court is also granted in ques-
tions involving a construction of the consti-
tution or the validity of a treaty or a Federal
law. The bill prescribes the clerical force of
the new courts and fixes the following as the
. places at which the first terms of the courts
in the respective circuits shall be held:
Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Richmond,
New Orleans, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis
and San Francisco, The terms are to begin
on the first Tuesday in May and November,
beginning with November , 1882. It is also
provided that the distrig or circuit judge
who tried the ‘cause shall not sit in the
hearing upon appeal.
The bill relieves the Supreme Court of the
United States of its final jurisdiction in the
great majority of patent and copyright cases,
which it has heretofore had by writ of error
and appeal, without reference to the amount
involved. Under the bill the Supreme Couit
only has jurisdiction in cases of action at law
for infringements of patents and copyrights,
where the amount of damages recovered is
over $10,000, or where the court certifies
that a legal question is involved of sufiicient
importance to be determined by the Supreme
Court; and in equity cases, relating to pat-
ents and copyrights, it only has jurisdiction
of questions of law or fact which the court
shall certify to be sufficiently important to
demand that the same should be decided by
the supreme court. The judiciary. commit-
tee in reporting the bill proposed an amend-
ment entirely divesting the supreme court of
jurisdiction in equity cases relating to pat-
ents and copyrights. Nine tenths ‘of all
practice in patent and copyright cases is by
proceedings in equity, so that if the commit-
tee’s amendment had prevailed, the practical
effect of it would have been to take the final
decision of all patent and copyright casgs,
entirely away from the supreme court, except
in those very rare instances where a jury
should return a verdict of more than 810,000
damages for infringement, or where in_ a
case tried to a jury, it should be certified
that alegal question was involved of sufii-
cient consequence for the final determination
. of the supreme court. This amendment was
ably and strenuously opposed by Senator
Platt when the bill was‘before the Senate as
in committee of the whole and was defeated
by a tie vote of 28 to 28. When the bill ‘was
reported to the Senate yesterday, the amend-
ment was again offered and passed, but as
strenuously opposed by Senator Platt, who
was joined in his opposition by Senator Bay-
ard. Our S’enator in his brief, but convinc-
ing argument thus stated his views :—
“We may as well talk frankly about these
things. The result, the effect of this amend-
ment is to destroy the value of the property
. in all important patent rights, and it is under-
stood so throughout the country. The whole
value of a patent-right lies in its legal protec-
tion. If it can be infringed in one part of
the country by reason. of a decision of the
court in that circuit, that it is not an in-
fringement, a decision in one circuit to that
effect is just as destructive or nearly as de-
structive of the value of the property as such
a decision in all the circuits would be. Now,
it will not be denied—no one needs to be a
prophet to see—that in these important pat-
ent-right cases there will be conflicting deci-
sions in ‘the different. circuits and in the
courts of appeals in the different circuits,
' and wherever that takes place the value of
the patent-right involved will be mainly if
not entirely destroyed. Now, I say that
these two kinds of property are of such a
character that there ought to be the poor
privilege in a case where a ecurt thinks that
the question should be certified to the
Supreme Court‘of the United States for set-
tlement of having it done.”
As a result of the plain, common sense,
opposition led by Mr. Platt, the amendment
was defeated by a vote of 27 to 24, and the
bill passed by 32 to 18, all the republicans
save Mr. Edmonds, voting for it. .
TRADE MARKS.
The Senate bill introduced by Mr. Platt
amending the law which protects the regis-
tration of trade marks, so as to provide that
nothing in that law shall prevent the registry
of any lawful trade mark rightfully used at
the time of the passage of the law, was also
passed yesterday by the senate.
The Trade Mark Act of 1870 was defective
in that it did not provide for the registration
of Trade Marks which consisted mainly of
the name of the manufacturer, or firm, such
for instance as the Collins Axe of Collins.
- ville, Ct. An amendment to remedy this
defect was adopted a year or two subse-
quently, and is found in the closing sentence
of Section 4.939 of the Revised Statutes,
but. this provision was dropped out of the
new act of 1881, and is now simply proposed
to restore it, and thus relieve the few par-
ties who are shut cut by the wordsof the
present act. '
wa’vs nan ENOUGH I
Mr. Caikins, of Indiana, offered a bill
Tuesday in the House to aid in making a
further Arctic exploration, and detailing
Master Lucien Young as cemmander of the
. expedition. It authorizes the Secretary of
the Navy to purchase a vessel of proper size
and structure for the expedition at a cost
not exceeding $50,000 and appropriates
$100,000 for the expenses of the expedition.
Coming as this resolution does, so soon
offer the sad tidings received last week of,
the brave and gallant De Long, the question
naturally arises—have we not had enough of
such foolhard y expeditions ? Wherein is the
Government to be benefitted even supposing
the explorations were successful and the
North Pole discovered? Would the empty
honor of such a discovery compensate {the
Nation for the loss of the lives of the many
brave officers who have met their doom in
that illfated ohms? It seems to usabout
time that this foolhardiness should cease and
the public treasury no more be used to en-
courage men to go to their deaths. Let those
who wish to explore, do it on their own
account, but take no more money out of the.
public treasury and detail no more naval of-
ficers for such folly. After the fate of the
Jeannette party, further talk of a North Pole
hunt will excite nothing but general disgust
.for some years to some.

Tire House on Wednesday passed fire bill
creating an Executive Department of Agri-
culture. It provides that the Department
shall be an Executive Department under the
supervision and control. of a Secretary of
Agriculture who shall be an experienced and
practical | Agriculturist. It establishes the
following Bureaus of that Department: of
agricultural products, of animal industry, of
lands and of statistics.
The Geneva Award Bill was also discussed
but no action taken. '

BARNUM’S omens.
Barnum has pertainly outdone all previous
efforts of his eventful life in the show he
brought to Washington. The street parade
:was simply immense, while he had as visitors
under his untold acres of tout, the President,
‘his Cabinet: Chief Justice, Foreign Minis-
ters, Senators, Representatives, and distin-
guished men and women from all parts of
the country. The Smithsonian savans.
pronounced Jumbo, after a critical examina-
tion, to be an elephant, but of extraordinary
growth- In other words a giant among
elephants. In the reserved, press box, be-
sides Mr. . Barnum and Secretary of War,
Lincoln, the Hartford Com-ant and Norwaik
Guerra, were duly represented by the ed-
it “’8. Two Zuni Indian Chiefs, were also
assigned seats with the gentlemen of the
press, and when the last scene, (the Indian
chase for the white maiden) ,was being exe-
cuted, these chicftains became so excited
that they could hardly contain themselves.
Just before the captureof the girl and while
the pretended Indians were wildly whooping
and galloping around the oldest Zunijumped
up and asked his interpreter if he might not
mount one of the horses and join in the
chase ? ,
sanemr MASON'S CASE.
The case of Sergeant Mason is now before
the President for action, as to whether his
sentence shall be commuted or not. It is
the general impression that the President
will take favorable action upon it. While
the verdict .of the court martial can not be
overruled. , It is thought that Mason’s term
of imprisonment will-be shortened at least.
Mrs. Mason called on the President, at his
invitation, Thursday, and had a somewhat
lengthy interview. She has since stated that
the President assured her in unmistakable
terms that he had been considering her hus-
band’s case, and was disposed to do what lay
in his power for him. which means,she thinks
that Executive clemency is to make itself
manifest at an early'date. Mrs. Mason fur-
ther stated that she has banked up to the
present, about $3,000, with a few hundred
dollars yet in hand.

Mr. Dingley asked leave to report from. the
committee on banking and currency a bill to
suspend the issue of silver certificates and to
limit the coinage of silver dollars to the re-
quirements of the people.
Mr. Holman objected. Mr. Crapo then
called up for consideration the bill to enable
national banking associations to extend their
corporate existence. . -
After the reading of the bill and the pre-
sentation of various proposed amendments
for printing in the Record, Mr. Crapo took
the floor in explanation of the provisions of
the bill and in presentation of the reasons
which demanded ‘ the immediate action of
Congress. ,
Mr. Bland expressed his opposition to the
national banking system.

The Weather and. the Ice Floe.
The cold easterly winds mentioned in our
last'week’s article have prevailed during the
past week, and still continue at the time of
the writing of this, and we fear. that we are
not to have many days of pleasant weather
for some time to come, as the steamer Polico
which sailed from Montreal on the 7th inst,
and arrived at St. Johns, New Foundland,
on the 12th inst., reports large bodies of ice
on the coast, and had to force her way
through fields of ice one of which was six
miles broad and extended ffoni New Found-
land to Cape Breton. The steamer passed
several icebergs grounded in 360 feet depth
of water.
At the morning, service in the Congrega-
tional church last Sabbath, it being the first
assembling of the congregation since the
dissolution of the pastorate of Rev. Mr.
Hamilton, prayers were offered for his res-

mightbe the means of preparing him for
many years of labor in the ministry, and that
during this enforced period of rest, he may
enjoy the sweet experience, that in only
watching and waiting, they are also blest,

Wednesday of this week, is the day ap-
pointed for the Burnside Guards and Look-

rade and inspection. -
Both companies will devote the morning
if pleasant, to target practice, on their re-
spective ranges. Col. Crofut will be in town
during the, day to muster the companies.
The time set for mastering Co.F is 2 o’clock
p. m. In the afternoon company F will
probably indulge in skirmish drill, and close
up with a short parade through the principal
streets of the Borough, and probably with
dress parade. No battalion drill is contem-
plated, as both captains desire to devote the
time to company evolutions.

‘ Paasamarion.—The ladies of the First
Congregational church raised by subscription
among themselves the sum of $130 which
they designed to present to the wife and
daughter ‘of their late pastor, Rev. Mr. Ham-

money was sent to them last week accom-
panied by a letter written by one of the ladies
in behalf of the ladies of the church and

Tree Planting.
They are having quite exciting times in
New Canaan over the planting of shade trees
on the public highways. Messrs. Hoyt
Brothers, of the Nursery, with the generosity.
for which they are noted, ofiered to present
the people of their native town with all the
shade trees they would plant along the high-
ways for the purpose of beautifying the town.
A public meeting was called and it was voted
to accept the generousofier, and Friday.and
Saturday last were appointed as the days for
planting, when all the citizens were invited
to turn out and assist in the good work. The
days arrived and there was a good attend-
ance of workers, and considerable excite-
ment. ~ Several hundred trees were set out,
and the people are to meet again to carry on
the good work. ~

the company in that city was . not satisfac-

The great play of “Hazel Kirke" is to be
presented here by the Madison Square Thea-
tre, N. Y. within a few weeks. This play
has a remarkable history. It was performed
at the Madison Square Theatre three years
ago and ran 486 nights. It was then trans-
ferred to the country, and now, three years
after its first performance, is still being
played through the country by the Madison
Square Theatre, .It has now Men presented
nearly 2,000 times. It is a remarkable play,
and the tearful and delighted audiences who
witness it over and over again, are the best
evidence of its populsrity; while the repu-
tation bf the theatre is‘a sufficient guarantee
of the character of thecompany.‘

The work on the extension of road {to
Wilson’s Point has been somewhat delayed
duringrthe past week'by stormy weather,"
but ’ has made fair progress. The tunnelr
under the consolidated road will be complet-
ed according to contract, the grading from
Monroe street to the Seymour cat is nearly
completed, as is the grading from the lower
part of the cut to the middle of the cut
through the northerly portion of the Wilson
farm, and considerable portion of the grad.
ing is done between this point and the Point.
The heaviest work is in the Seymour cut,
opposite the Burbank place, where rock of a
difficult kind to remove, has been found in
abundance, and until the use of the Atlas
Powder, the work of removing has been slow
and expensive. -
On Tuesday inst Mr. '1‘. Brooks Hadley.
a mining engineer from Stunebaru, Muse,
arrived and commenced the use of the new
powder, and his success has been marked,
and great progress has been made, and the
tractor to see daylight. through the cut.
This new explosive is composed of nitro
giycerinc and a chemically prepared wrod
pulp, and ranges from A, to E, with B, C. D,
and E plus, E having 20 per cent of nitro
glycerine, while A has 75 per cent of it in
its composition. The Atlas Powder thr- kind
used here, is D. X, being‘35 per.» cent. nitro
glycerine and 65 per cent pulp. ’l‘bis pow-
der is sensitive to the cold, and congeals at
48 degrees fnhrenheit; and if fired whencon-
gealed, has but little force; but regains
its strength when warmed. This explosive,
unlike many of the preparations of nitro
glycerine, is handled without danger, and on
Saturday last Mr. Hadley placed about a
dozen pounds in. cartridges on the stove in
the boarding house to thaw out, land the fire
being somewhat brisk, some of the cartridges
took fire on the ends, he took them out dcors
and beat the fire 03 from the ends, and then
replaced them on the stove to finish their
thawing out. The Atlas Powder can only
be exploded with a percussion cap, and are
fired either with platinum fuse, or a battery;
the heat required to fire the powder, being
.360 degrees. Mr. Hadley informed us that
the largest blasts made by him with this
powder was some months since, where he
fired instantaneously with a battery, sixty
five boreings, verging from 3 to 11 feet in
depth, which blast removed more than five
thousand yards of rock. ~

The Cherry Crop on the Coast.
It is a fact which will not be disputed, that
the cherry crop on the coast of the Eastern
States, is always uncertain, and usually a fail-
ure, and many conjectures as to the cause of
such failure have been promulgated, and
remedies‘mggestéd but with little success.
From several years observation, and trial,we'
have come to the conclusion that the cause of
such failure canvbc traced directly to the cold
easterly winds that prevail during the time
that the tree is in blossom, which winds are
supposed to be caused by the annual ice fioe on
our coast at this period of the year, for it has
been found that cherry trees that are protected
from the cast winds by buildings, or by inter-
vening high grounds that shelter the trees from
these winds have given good - yields, while
those exposed have borne little or no fruit.
Acting on this supposition, an experiment has
been made. which was quite successful as
far as tried, and we should be glad to have
any of our readers who have cherry trees on
their premises try it another season, and re-
port the results of their trial for public bene-
fit. The experiment tried was to retard the
blossoming of the ‘tree, if possible, until the
middle of May, when the danger of injury
from the east winds is past. The trial was
made by banking around the trunk of the
trees, and for several feet out with coal ashes,
which are a non-conductor. and prevent the
usually warm sunny days during the first
half of April, from forcing the trees into
early bloom. The result was that the trees
so banked did not blossom so soon as those
not banked by more than two weeks, and
the result was, as before stated, a good yield
from the banked trees and a poor one from
those not banked. Charcoal dust would be
even better for banking than coal ashes, but
few however have this for use, while every-
one has coal ashes. Cherry and pear trees,
are very much bencfitted by digging around
the trunk and applying ten or a dozen pounds
of iron boreings, or blacksmith's cinders will
,do if no boreings can be had, and those who
have given the trial report a marked improv—
ment both in quantity and quality of fruit.
It is too late to bank trees for this season.
but the iron if now applied, would doubt
-lcss greatly benefit the coming crop of peers.

prised, but kindly addressed the woman to
see what was wanting, presuming there had
been some mistake. Receiving no reply she
turned to the driver for an explanation. He

A pcripatetic tooth-puller has been creat-

His Fiftlctli Birthday.
Mr. James H. Knapp, of the well known
firm of Crofut &. Knapp, hat manufacturers
will long have occasion to remember his fif-
tieth birthday. Somebody found out when
the event was to take place, and arranged for
what proved to be a most happy celebration,
.which came off last Tuesday evening. Mr.
Knapp was induced to visit New Haven,
that day, where his son is in Yale. During
his absence the firm’s. employees made
their arrairgements and upon his return
in the evening he was invitéd to the
upper factory, where, to his astonish-
ment he found “all hands" assembled.
His eyes were opened, and the mystery of
the gathering partially explained by an ad-
dress of welcome by Mr. John W. Scott.
git. Edgar Hoyt followed with more flatter-
D
g remarks and the formal presentationpf a
solid silver ladle. While Mr. Knapp was re-
volving in his own mindwhat he should say
in response to the kind feeling manifested, a
curtain 'wns sirddenly removed revealing to
his astonished gaze at large and splendid col-
lection of elegantly decorated French China,
258 pieces, and a set of costly glass table
ware, all of which he was invited to accept
with the congratulations and best wishes of
between three and four hundred employees.
His surprise can easily be imagined. The
china was made to order by one of the best
houses in Europe, and includes all the pieces
ever desirable for breakfast, dinner, supper,
lunch or evening "refreshments.”
After the presentation, music struck up
and a dance was enjoyed, the affair closing
with a suitable collation.

The Connecticut Telephone Company are
disposedto do things with a high band.
Without any authority from the common
council, mayor or street committee, they
have commenced to plant unsightly poles on
some of the principal streets of the city for
the support of their {wires—New London
Telegram.
Why, that's nothing. Here in Norwaik,
they have planted their “unsightly poles”
across private building lots :without as much
as ever saying “by your‘ leave.” ButIthen
the private property thus needed, belonged
(to the village editor and whatever an editor
has is-of course, common property, at least
in the estimation of a good many, including
the Norwaik and New 'Canaan Telephone
Company.
