Hackman, late manager ot the Citi- zem newspaper, of Richmond, publishes an address “to the public” through the columns of the Richmond press, which is rather severe on A.

He says: «Pollard, born and reared on Southern soil, during all the severe erdeal through which the South has just emerged, ‘smelt the ba:tle from afar,’ and, ata safe distance, in his ‘bomb proof. urged the Southern legions on. keeping his own person @t a sate distance from the missiles of death.” Scarcity or Moyzy tn Ricumonp. respondent in Richmond, Va., writes us a de- spondent letter as to the state ef monetary af- fairs there, saying—“There is plenty to do bere, but nothing to do with.

Boullt, Radical, but on the morning of the election it was discovered that Futterer did not possess the proper property qualifications, consequently a few moments betore opening the polls Mr. J. H. Blake, for- merly of the reportorial corps of the Star, was putup as an independent candidate on the Johnson platform, and notwithstanding the fact that Br. B.'s name did not appear on any of the printed tickets, and that Futterer, de- clined to withdraw, it soon became evident that Blake was leading his Radical ee re In order to put & stop to this the Radiculs re- sorted to trickery. and industriously circulated the re: that Blake was disqualified, which assertion, being talse however, bad the desired effect, snd Boullt was elected by a small ma- jority. Had Futterer withdrawn and not di- vided the Conservative vote between himself and Blake, the latter would have easily beaten the Radical candidate. As it is, however, Blake received a highly complimentary vote, and his friends sre elated at the poll he made, while on the other hand Boullt’s friends are little ¢ allen at the idea that he, who has frequently been elected to the position, should allow his majority to be so reduced as to run tehind his ticket by a young man entirely new in the political arena.

PATENT OFFICE. A statement of the processes to be gone through in ex»mining and issuing a patent at the United States Patent Office, was made a few days since by a cotemparary, which was not quite full enough to convey a correct im- pression of the amount of labor to be performed in the issue of a patent. Comparatively few of the applications for patents are passed on the first examination; the majority of them are so very near like similar inventions already patented, that they are rejected, aud the inyen- tor takes his model away, makes additional improvements, and renews his application fora patent. Many are rejected on the grouad of the interference of the invention with the rights of another. If « patent is issued on the firstexaminauon it will furnish for twelve persons, but if it is rejec oftener, and new appeals are made, it occasions work for many more individuals. The iorce of employees in the Patent Of including exammers, assistant examiners clerks only, number about 200, 40 of whom a, in the examination division. The methods of examining, comparing, correspondiug, record. ing, engrossing, &c., &c., that are necessary in issuing & patent have been so systematized “nud pertected that an astonishing amount of bus: hess can be performed in a comparatively short ume. There are at the present time upwards of $50,000 models on exhibition at the Patent office, and if the American genius of mye tion continues as fertile as it has been since th closing of the war, this department will soon, outgrow its present limits. ULOGIES ON THE LATE SENATOR FOOT. After the expiration of the “morning hour’ in the Senate to-day, Mr. Poland rose, and in befitting terms announced the decease of his late colleague, to whose memory he paid « fitting tribute. He was followed in turn by Messrs. Revyerdy Johnson, Fessenden, Brown, Pomeroy, Sumner, Cragin and Edmunds. One of the most original allusions to the deceased Senator was the following by Mr. Sumner: “There is a parton the stage known as the ‘walking gentleman,’ who hag very little to Say but who awe apres well. Mr. Foot might seem, at times, to have adopted this part, if we were not cons'antly reminded of his watchful- ness in everything concerning the course of business and the administration of parliamen- tary law. Here he excelled and was the mas- ter of us all. The division <f labor, which is the lesson of political economy, 1s also the les- son of public life. All cannot do ali things. Some do one thing, others do another thing: each according to his gifts. This diversity pro- duces harmony.” In the Honse, remarks were made by Messrs, Woodbridge, Banks, Washburn, Dawson, Grin- nell, and Morrill. DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR REGISTER. The Department of State has just published An official register of the diplomatic and con- sular officers of the United States in foreign countries, and of foreign ministers, their sec- retaries and attaches accredited to the Govern- ment of, and foreign consuls residing in, the United States, with the lists corrected to Feb- ruary, 1566. The register shows that the ag- gregate of diplomatic and consular officers of the United States is 503, with an aggregate an- nual salary of $715,900. The number of diplo- matic officers is 69, the number of consular officers is 659, and the number of judicial of- tices is six. WHITE HOUSE. The number of persons waiting to obtain in- terviews with the President to-day was even greater than yesterday. About one o’clock the doors of the Executive Chamber were opened for a general reception. Among those who were in conversation with the President were Senator Sherman, Secretary BcCulloch, Senator Lane, of Kansas, and Sen- ator Cowan, of Pa. pa te Sa THE EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION. Rey. John Kimball, Superintendent of Freed- men’s Schools, has invited the superintendents, teachers, and pupils of the colored schools in this District to participate in the emancipation celebration on Monday next. They are to meet at their school rooms at 12 m., and march, under the direction of their teachers, to the north sidewalk on Pennsylvania avenue, in front of the President's House, there to see and greet the procession as it passes, from which place they will march to Franklin Square. PROPERTY RESTORED. Last month the Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen’s Bureau, for this District, is- sned an order, releasing from all control of the Bureau, to Mrs. Maria Syphax, colored, sey- enteen acres from the “Arlington” estate, sita- ated in Alexandria County, Va., she claiming to be the legal owner of the above said tract by virtue of a title gained by an undisturbed pos. session fora period of upwards of thirty years- paterson entaiiin NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL.
