WASHINGTON LETTER. [From onr Swiltr Correspondent.] VlUIMTOS. o c. DKC. is, 1B8S. Although the expected Revenue Reform fight failed to come off in Congress thia week, other important question* came to the front and re•ultcd in more legislation than probable mouth* of tariff talk would have done. The House of Itei>retentative* expressed itself overwhelmingly in favor of dignifving the department of agriculture with a neat in the Cabinet, and it expressed itaelf almost a* positively in favor or extirpating the hierarchy at Salt Lake City. The great question of Inter-State eotnmerce atil! hangs fire in the Sen ate. and the more St is discussed and the more the objections raised to it a<e considered, the more the unbiased .nind is impressed with the necessity of making it a law. But as a Senator rceentlv said, it must lie adopted or rejected as a whole. The (tending bill is th* result of j struggle or ten years, and If it 1» rejected. there is wo telling when another bill eau he bmuvht to rote.

It wa* intend*) tl»«t the debate on' thiii measure should be finished <•!) Thursday, hut it *m found tliat thi* suuiil ei tail a night session, and as most of 'he Senators expressed a desire to attend the President's yeeeptiou I hat .evening, given in hntfor of the Diplomatic Corps, the vote was deferred. The Farmer’s Congress, which has been in session ai the Agricultural Depirtiuenl for several days appointed committees to wail u|ion the Senate and House to urge the passage of the Inter-State Commerce bill.' and other measures ol interest to agricuLtpralinti. Then* waa an interesting; debate over the Anti-Polvgam.v bill bn Wednesday in the House of Representatives jn-' before the measure passed that body. Congressman Tavlor of Ohio, the member who represents the dial net to which Mr. Uarfiekl formerly belonged, gave a brief sketch of the establishment- of the Mormon chnrclijn Utah Its friend, the legislature of Utah, he said, would not strangle it, hut Congress must, and fortunately Congress could. It has the legal power under the constitution, and it had the means at hand to exercise it. Mr. Tavlor said, while this people and this church defied the moral sense of civilization and he was heartily in favor of the main features of this hill against them, he was unalterably opposed to one of its provisions—that abolishing female suffrage in llie territory of Utah. He stood appalled at the first suggestion of taking the electoral franchise from a considerable clan of people accustomed o ils nse. We the .precedent here made be invoked hereafter, and if so, in what direction? Mr. Cain, the territorial delegate who represents the Mormons iu Congress, defended his constituent* with great earnestness, and his speech com din ?>detl close attention from the floor as well as from the galleries. He saitl that the Mormons, although they had suffered indignities, insults, ostracism. and slander for years, had made the desert In Idossom like a, garden of Bowers. He spoke of their piety and thrift, and pledged hi* word and his character, that the charges and the statcim nt* upon which this, legislation was based were without fornication iu fact. Sl um mi>in. he held, would be swept away bv the progress of events it Uud iu his wisdom bad so appoint

HI. Mr. Bennett of North Curoliiir. »li» wa op|*iscd to this legislation, inH Messrs. C*»*wevl, at Wi«. Tucker of T#„ apd Iti-rd ol Main, who favored it. were the other »|» aker*. M; Reed was diapo-ed to think the wisest cour»e would be'for fimgrest to take complete control of U*»h. Ami whnf that territory ? Ifecau-e a bh tv of r ■- ligkmistoithere had taken |M»ou-*-«ioii •*f property bclnaging to the Unit-I States. It w is not only a body >*f religionist-, it Was a people tiiat had a po’stv. T .at was the keynote of the situation. Tliex intend t*i people that territory exclusively with Mormons, and to segregate to I hem-elves a |>orliou of the property of the Uuitetl States. Congress vv:i- to-day rooting out an ntijusi possession of the soil that belonged to the pe-*p|e. Mr. Reed thought’ it was useless to call this bill an as-aull upon a religio Polygamy W as only one of the manifestations of a imd condition of - tv in Utah. Mr. Tucker, of V*.. also is mien, led that the territory of ilie United States did uot belong to the first little squat of man who settled on it and saul. we are monarch* »f all we survey. It was the duty of Congt'esa to say it should not lie monopolized hy am class of men or hy any church, fit* would rote airainat the bill il he thought there was one tiling in it that trenched upon the coiudnne of a Mormon. Mr Tucker, who was frequently applauded, had a go.*' deal tosay about the mich-mf of a nation living in the homes »fiut peopl-. He thanked God there were afiljul *uty of homes t here one man ami one women, loved eaeh other supremely. That Was the foundation of theleKly politic. Without it there would uot he a Christian state fit to inhabit. In Utah, the heart of the husband was diffused among a numWr. That was the basia of a civilisation that went out 2,000 veara ago. r*TtxT ernes rsaTcnss. There are ten books iu the secret archives of the United States Pal. nt Office for which patent attorneys in Washington would be witling to give $100,000. They are the books containing the name* and addresses of inventors whose cases have been rejected during the past ten re*rs. There ha* been an average of 28,030 cases filed in the Patent Office every year for the last tenyeaiaand ayearlv average of 18A>00 patents granted. Last year *heVe were 35.000 applications filed and 25,000 patents i-stted, the largest number in any one year. On this showing something like ©3 l«r cent, of the applications have iieen patented. So there have been during the last ten years about 100,000 rejected case*. These in part include caw* defeated in intcrtereiicea and applications allowed; but on which final fee* have net been paid. Now good attorneys gel: fullv SO | j»er cent of their ease# allowed and patented; hence there must be so we reason for only 00 per cent of the ap plications being allowed. The reason is this; fully 8.000 inventors every rear aaake out their own cae** and trv to get them through the Patent ‘Office. Not knowing the routine ‘they almost iuvariably geu involved : in the meshes of red tape and the Intricacies of Patent Offlce ; procedure. The diSculty nut be slight, a m re informality, a defective drawing, tut imprnperii worded application, an indefinite specification, or a slight, interference requiring a few amendment* which a skillful patent attorney could make in half an hosr. But to the inventor these prove an insurmountable obstacle; hi* application i* rejected and be give* np is dugitsi ter despair. -

Application for patents In tbo United State* Patent Office no first to the t wenty-aight principal examiner*, according to the sunject matter. If they are rejected, two year* are ailowed in which to amend them or false other necessary action. If uo action shall hare been taken at the end of two years, such case* are treated, a bandoned, and are tent to the di-1 rimhVn where thev are entered in the j hooka which the Patent Attorneys ao much corct. Fully 50,000 of the re- I jected rases of llie' last ten years fall' under these ruiiditioes. A» a low estimate 25.000 of these rejected cases pint in-the hands of a competent attorney could be patented. A patent attorney’s fee., on such conditional cases would he about $25 per case—a gross sum of K25,000. C'onnt out dispnsled inventors and those not able to t-wy, vti|| an enormous number would get out patents if they knew how.. But »he trouble is Inst here— no one outside the Patent Office it allowed access to those file books. And without them they can not learn the name and addrra* of Inventor*. Then again. there are some 15.009 cases now lying in the Cximiucr’s rnoin awaiting the two years limit. These are still more valuable.-f<w if thev are taken up liefore the timelimit expires, the initial fees do not lapse, while in the other cases they won id hare to ho repaid. The practice in the United States Paten* Offi**e was not always thus. During Grant’s first term, for a period j ofshout a year, attorneys were allowed access to ali letter hook*, and pre- j. v;iou« to that had been allowed access to; the files of abatidone<l cases, but there was a constant scramble and not infrequently dowdright tights over them, and about 1875 the Patent Office made them secret.

The Haenttct t langtllowa. How. A. (i. Smith. made the folh«»wif»jr explicit , repositions: ‘■If Mr. Robertson, or any other pertons—any voter in the State—thinks differently ami wishes to try thequestion in the courts of the State. I will voluntarily appear to any action which he may wish to institute for that purpose, and will prosecute it with all diligence to the Supreme Court of the State, and if they decide I hat my views are not in accordance with the Constitution I will acquiesce in that decision. If they decide that Mr. Robertson has been duly elected and is entitled to the oflceof Lieutenant-Governor ha shall have the pla**e without delay. Nothing could be fairer or mote honorable than these proposition*. From the very outset Mr Smith endeavored to have the question of the Lieutenant-GoTcrnordiip determined by the courts Many of the ablest Republican lawats of the State bali-vcd I list the election of a Lieu , tejiaut-Governor last November wninvaiid. Mr. Smith only stood upon what h* deemed to l e his rights. He cintc forward ami stated that he would voluntarily appear to 4 tv a t fio« which Mr. Robertson might w'sh to institute to try the question, ft w a» th>- propo-itiou of a law-abiding man. v' - I> Mr. Smith was not entitled to the position of Li ■utenaut-Governor, the I>-ime rats of In liana did not want him • here; and we stv sure that no good cl'isten. of whatever party, d«--ited that Mr. Roliertsou should take j t»c i.ffie." if his election was contrary I to the provisions of the Constitution. I/Mr. Rohertson had received a majority of the votes of the people of In dianw for, T>'coo 11 mi Japan no one would he iinlmciie enough to maintain that' be wa< entitled to the office iw* eao»‘ iIh* pe ip!e t>r Indiana had voted that lie diouM have it.

Mr. Smith, bmp) prior to the assembling of the Legislature, iu a spirit of justice/ tried to avoid an unseemly squabble by sub- ( milting the matter to the courts, hut | the courts refused to decide because i 1 he form of the request was not to ■ their irking. Iu considering this j matter one ran not help thinking of ; the old German Proverb: “What j man Irishes lie believes easily A« no one ehosc to settle the matter in the courts, and as Mr Rc berlson wotffd hot accept Mr. Smiths iroposition, thereupon Mr. Smith t «ok tne ' cane to court himself, in to netting . after the manner of a quo v am nio ! proceeding.
