PATENT RIGHT SWINDLES.—Why it is that there are so many men, in Terre Haute, as alsewhere, who although they are temperate and industrious, seem unable to make both ends meet. The answer to this seemingly inexplicable problem is easy of solution when we take into consideration that they are continually investing in luxuries which only the rich can afford. One month we find them saving ail tlieir earning* to invest in some patent right for a non-explosive hog-rooting machine, which they imagine will make them rich in an incredibly short space of time, but of course never does, and leaves them poorer than ever. Poor men should shun patent rights as a delusion and a snare—they are perplexing luxuries in which people with abundance of money can alone afford to indulge. Therefore, we say to you, reader, if you are poor and struggling, have nothing to do with patent rights. Keep your little pile of money, and listen not to the specious sophistries and representations of the patent right venders. "VVc know of a case right here in this city, where a scalawag has succeeded in pulling the wool over the eyes" of a gentleman in this city by representing, in glowing colors, anil brilliant

"FINE FEATHERS NEJ'EB MAISE BIHDS".—Among the Innumerable wise saws inflicted upon defenceless people by "Old Richard," there is none so apposite as the one, "Fine silks and velvets put oqt fae kitchen fire." This quaint maxim strikes us with peculiar significance when we see every day families, whose incomes are mere pittances, attired oven t^ore fashionably than their wejl-to-do or more wealthy neighbors. Somehow or other—let philosophers account for it qs best they car$ —there an iqfectiqn qr aro.n^ of pride in good clothes, and, if beggars on horseback would ride to the dominions of Pluto, paupers in broadcloth coats and watch-seals as big as brick-bats, would go still farther than that if they could. The sole aim of their lives appears to be to get within the circle of "society." The poor cfeatures will deny themselves, from day to day| the ri^erest necesisaries of life —and for what purpose? To wear good clothes, and to be hangers-on and lackeys in society. We have not far to look to see men occupying the humblest positions in life, who half-starve themselves and their families in order to wear fashionable clothes and to give parties about four times a yoav. With what a sjieer these poor snobs will look upon those independent mechanics who have scorned to crawl into "genteel society" through the kitchen widows. They all the time, however, little realize the utter contempt in which they are held by those sensible

and'ihielligeiit peqplQ who are content to live and move in the sphere in which Providence has placed them, and who make|po shallow petensiopsqr S9bterfuges to deceive "genteel society," The dodges of some of th^se subordinate members of "genteel society" are truly pitiful.

Have we any such pitiful specimens of would-be men and women in our city? We fear we have many such. How could it be ^thprwisq \jdieij ^e ponsidef the present state of sopiety? A young man, however brilliant and gifted he may be, is not welcome in society unless he can sport fine clothes, and most of the ladies of the present day judge a man by the "cut and make up" of his clothes and the handsome appearance he makes in society, instead of by the purity of his character and the weight of his brains. Whpi a youqg lac|y attends a bqll, her highest ambition and desire is to dance with the handsomest and most richly dressed man iu the house, whether he has either brains or moral Gharaoter, Not only Is this the case here, but it is so the world over. There are ladies right here in this city, as in all other cities, who will not notice a young man of their acquaintance on the street if he does not chance to have on his "Sunday clothes" and baye his boots polished tq suph degree of perfection tuat she may catch the reflection of her own face in them. Society needs a reform in this direction, and we hope the day is not far distant when it shall be reformed.

If this were a bill lor the repeal of the test oath required of persons elected or appointed to ofHoes of honor and trust, it would meet my approval. The effect of the law is to relieve from taking the prescribed oatb all t^Qse persons whqm it was intended to exclude from such office, and to require it from all others. By this law the soldiers who fought and bled for his country is to swear to his loyalty before assuming official functions, whilst generals who commanded the hosts for the overthrow of this government are admitted to place without it. I cannot affijy my jiame to a law whiqb discriminates against* the upholders ot this government. I believe, however, that it is not a wise policy to keep from office by an oath, those not disqualified by the Constitution and are chosen by leg^l voters. But whilst relieving them from an oath wbich they can not take, I recommend the release also of tfyqse to whom the law has application. [Signed,] P, S. GRANT.

OSOaESSIOXAL SUMMARY.

WASHINGTON, February 1". Senate.

On motion of Mr. Sumner, the following resolution was adopted: Resolved,

That the Secretary of the

Navy be directed to communicate to the Senate a copy of the instructions to the commander of the ship Tennesse on her present cruise also, the names of United States ships in the waters of the Island of San Domingo since the commencement of recent negotiations with Dominica, together with the armaments of such ships.

The joint resolution of the Indiana Legislature withdrawing that State's alleged ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment was then taken up for the purpose of allowing Mr. Morton to address the Senate on the question therein presented, tho latter part of the morning hour being awarded him for thatpurpose.

Mr. Morton then argued to show the right and power of Congress to require guarantees from late rebel States, as conditions precedent for representation in the government that these conditions had taken the form of constitutional amendments, having been severally ac? cepted by those Statos, it was absurd for other States to now question the validity of those amendments. He held that the Democratic party by its attempted repudiation of those amendments and the laws of Congress enforcing them was committed to nullification and subversion of existing laws, In answer to the allegation that the ratification of the loth amendment by the Indiana Senate was illegal, because of the absence of a constitutional quorum at the time he said the question had been decided by the Indiana Supreme Co^r.t upon an appropriation bill passed the same day, the court holding that it bad no power to go behind the enrollment bill. In that controversy the Democrats held that a quorum required two-thirds of all the members elected, while the Republicans maintained that t\VQ-thirds of those present was meant," The Fifteenth Amendment received 23 in the Senate, and 56 in the House, which was a clear majority of all members elected. These resolutions purporting to rescind the assent of the State were a mere harmless nullity, and* were deserving of no consideration, except for their political significance in indicating the spirit of Democracy. Ti^ey breathed the doctrine Qfnullific^tiqn and secession, and did not represent the sentiineqt of the people of Indiana, which was Republican.

Upon conclusion of Mr. Morton's speech, Mr. Blair rose to reply, and continued his remarks to some length, when the Senate adjourned, •. House.

After reading the journal the House proceeded to the special order, consideration of tbe bill reported by the Judiciary Committee to enforce the. rights of the citizens of the United States under the Fifteenth Amendment, to vote in the several States of the Union.

Mr. Eldridge, a member of the Judiciary Committee, made an argument againt the bill. He denounced it as the most unwarrantable and unjustifiable measure yet proposed by Congress. It was

absolutely atrocious.

It created a host of new offices before unknown, and filled the land'with spies and informers. It ought to overawe free American citizens and control their votes by menace, the sword, and the presence at voting precincts of soldiers of the army. It had its qrigin in the interest of an unscrupulous and desperate party, Its very title was

false pretense, if not a lie.

It was a bill to prevent, hinder aud delay citizens in voting. It would bring war and bloodshed. It was intended to awe citizens of States and drive them from the polls. They would not submit without a struggle. Majiy law-abiding citizens could feel more like facing a bullet than casting a ballot through the paid spy and informer which this hill would place be.fore and behind the ballot box The hypocritical cry

peace," would not avail in the face of such measures. Mr. Cox also argued against the bill. It would be futile, except in helping the Democracy, but it did not want help at the expense of the form of Government. It was a bill aimed at New York City and State. He gave notice that the Legislature of New York would either enforce its o^n eleption laws fqr the election of its own officers, by having a day for such election different from that for the eliectiou of inerhbers of Congress, or it would meet the federal power fairly with State power against the usurpations of Congress. %•&

also argued against tbe

bill Which he denounced as abominable. Mr. Woodward inquired, what in the name of heaven was the need of this long complicated and mischievous enactment professedlv for the purpose of carrying out the Fifteenth Amendment, Who was resisting the Fifteenth Amendment? Who iqade extraordinary legislation necessary? No gentleman could answer. His friend from Wisconsin (Eldridge) had spoken of tbe bill strongly, when he said it was a fraud and a cheat if the bill passed. If the bill had been brought in for the purpose of abolishing the States, or taking away one of their reserved rights by name, be would have had more respect for it than he had for this bill.

supported the bill. He

argued that the safety of the republic depended on the purity of the ballot box

and proper exercise of the elective fran chise, and he called attention to the fact that e^ery effort which bad been made by the Republican party of the House to accomplish that object had been met, opposed and resisted by the Democratic members. He would let others institute the inquiry, why it was that one party should seek to purify the ballot box, while the other party resisted every such effort. He also referred to the circumstance of a party of marines firing on the people at the election in Washington in 1856, to show that interference by Federal authorities in elections was not anew idea.

Mr. Lawrence argued in support of the bill, the first section of which, he said, was copied from a bill introduced by himself last December. The question was, whether the citizens of the United States should be protected by national law in the exercise of the elective franchise against force and fraud. There was nothing new in the theory of federal interference. When the fugitiveslave law was passed* there had been no outcry from the Democratic party against federal influence.

A lengthy discussion ensued, and finally the bill passed by nearly a party vote, yeas 144, nays '64.

The House at 4:45 took recess until 7:30.
