Not an Intelligent lawyer in the Republican party, aye, not a Republican Judge on the bench in any etate or the United States but would repudiate euuh a groundless,aa well as dangerous, doctrine. The state is sovereign as to the exercise of all powers not dolegated to the gen- eral government. A state of the on- ion exercises no delegated power.

(Ersrs our rtsular sorrsanondsut.) Washibotob, Oct. ,10th, 1886. The week has been rather a quiet one In Washington. The Preeider.ft and his Cabinet returned promptly after the fatigue of Bsrtholdl dsy In New York, and eel tied down to thefr desks, I do not think they ere billed (or any mere fairs or on veil Inge this fall. The annual autumn races, which have always attracted Isrge coo tin gents from the feshlenabie,dipiomatlc,' army, navy and official circles of Washington, ere Is progress, bat the weather is nnprcpltlotts and they have excited leas Interest than usual. Those of yon who live far removed from Governmental machinery can not realise the extent of the improve, meots In Departmental work under the new Administration. Bat those of as who here been here ell the time, end who have seen so much of the Idleness, extravagance, worthlesenees and corruption of the old Republican officials and met hods, take special de light in the new order of things end feel as If too mecR could not be said about It. For Instance, lbs current bos loess of the Patent Offise Is In a much bet tor and more prosperous condition than when Commissioner Montgom ery assumed control. At that urns the work was largely In arrears, and be bee succeeded in bringing much of it up to date. Toe application ef an Inventor for a patent 1b now reached In about three moot be after filing. The time for Tier I y wee five end a half months. Mr. Montgomery seys be expects to be able te bring all of the work substantially op to date within the next few months, snd so keep it. A little over a year ago some of the divisions io this office were es much aa seventeen months behind la their examinations. To fully appre. elate the work accomplished, consid eration most be given to the fact that the Commissioner was inexperienced end bad to study np and advise him self thoroughly on all points relating to R very difficult practice. The at torneys practicing before the office are much pleased with the progress made, end nek that the good work msy go on. The Patent Office, beeides being self supporting, pays a balance in the Treasury. There te now an account to Its credit thereof nearly three million dollars. Lest year 24,134 patent were granted oat of 87,695 applications. A new order of thtegs eonffonte poli ticians these days ; oo heip from Wash ington, snd stumping federal otfUutls to be called to account. Consequently but few oan be teen here this week. The elections are .only five days off, bat the habit of running to Washington to a harry to get ft tends or offices to assist to the eleottoo,is not in order this year. No assistance beyond sanding out docu- menu by the campaign committees bss been drawn from the Capital. Notsrith. standing the great interest felt in the result, the Admintstrstisu has rigidly abstainsd from everything that could be oonstrusd into official interference, S . .. and no oamraurn oontriu.iens nsve been collected ia the Departments. There is much doubt ss to the general result of the election, but wh stover it may be as to psrtit, there will bo a Urea number of new men in the next House. The recent action et the Pres a ideat ia suspend iag District Attorneys stoae and Bsutoo, one s. Dtm ocrat and tha othsr Republican, f r do great political activity, is scoaptad a sa in dioatioa that ths order is te strictly enforced, it t expected that a number of disomsals will result from violations 0f this order. A general court ot in- hmiry would probably not lm found practicable, but where serious charges are made and supported with Rurhc.ent evidence, dismissals will follow. oampaiffa lie has been goii-,' the rounfa of late to ths effect thst when tQe ageat for the ssle of Gsnersl .Grants Msmoirs asked permission to oanvass the interior Department for subscribers, b,...
