In the framing of a repealing sect! much time and ability was ex- pended, and in'Bubmitting their report the attention of the Congressional Committee on Patents was called to the complicated provisions of the law and tothe trouble likely to grow out of any wholesale repealing of statutes, It was suggested, therefore, that in citing the acts or parts of acts to be repealed M should be explicitly set forth in the schedule, and Wan explanatory note was needed it should ve added. In reporting the new Postal law this plan was strictly followed, but Mr. Jencks rejected the Suggestions of the paid commission m reporting the wet to revise, consolidate and amend the statutes relating to patents, and in licu of the repealing clause framed by the most emindnt legal talent Known in the country substituted the binding and Sweeping clause which effectually wipes out all authority conferred on the President to appoint tem- porary heads of departments in the absence of the heads, or to permit a vacancy fo be filled in the chiefs of bureaus, The schedule of acts repealed Was taken bodily from the table of statutes cited in the report of the commission, and somebody 1s re- Sponsible for the stupid Liuader of supposing, be- cause they were referred to, that they must neces+ _sarily be repealed, and so added them tn toto, ex- cepting only such portions of ine apprepriation bills referred to as related to the Patent OMce. .

His term of servieo a8 a government employ runs back many years, and Mr, Syphax induced Congress to believe that he was entitled toad additional compensation of $2,180 for his past labors, The bili was passed, and on the strength of ithe built a neat residence among his nabob neighbors; but, alas for human caloulations ! the First Comptroller to-day returned the papers to the Secretary of the Interior, with tne endorsement that the account could not be allowed, a4 the gov- ernment had already overpaid Mr. Syphax for his services, and, instead of being indebted to him, he | ‘was really in debt to the government. The decision causes a great deal of merriment among the cppo- nents of Mr. Syphax, who, they allege, has serlously interfered with the progress of the cause of educa- ton, om account of his prospective fortune.
