Ex-Phebident GnANT is made to say,

ing, who know that ho worked hard to

The Commissioner of Patonts states
that aside from tbo damage to the Patent

ia thought that the foreign system of
dispensing with cumbrous models (of
whioh 15,000 were placed in position last
year) aud substituting tho description and
drawing will bo adopted heroafter. Of
oonrse, if models accumulate as they have
in the last twenty years, it will necessitate
a building several miloB square to hold
them before another coutury rolls around.
The ootton manufacturing capacity of
the oountry could bo safoly doubled if the
means of rapid distribution of mannfac
tares to all parts of tbo earth existed. The
oountry makes up into doth only 1,400,000
bales of its raw cotton. It exports from
2,000,IKK) to 8,000,000 bales annually, and
this largo surplus might as well be manu
factured here as anywhere, and, in faot,
should be. There can be no large addi.
tion to the manufacturing resources of
the oountry, however, until first-class
steam lines aro started to Booth America,
Afrioa and the Epst Iudies, so as to open
np new markets for American goods.
The Cincinnati Sonthern Road is com

cinnati. The distance from Bomersot to
Chattanooga is 177 miles, on whioh no
iron is laid, bnt the grading and ties are
nearly ready for it, and moat of the iron
is on hand. The work on the bridges
over the Ohio, Keutuoky end Tennessee
rivers, all of which will be costly and
immense strnctures, is rapidly progress
ing. The completed portion of the road
is now operated by a Cincinnati company,
which has put on the necessary amount
of rolling stock. Rut the future of the
road is still as uncertain as it was six
months ago. Sixteen millions have been
expended by the city of Cincinnati, and
the other two millions arc not forthcom
ing. No plan for procuring of those two
millions has been adopted.
OUK TICKET.
With General Toombs as tho noxt Gov
ernor of tbo Btato, General Gordon an his
own snocessor in the United Btates Sen
ate and tho Capitol again at Mitledgeville,
whence Radicals and bayonets removed
it, Georgiana onght to be aatisfied and
bappy. There ia no eanae for aaying hard
things abont the location of the Capital.
The pros and cons een be discussed by
editors oonrtooUBly. We favor Milledgo-
ville becanae it is associated with the
prondest and moat honored names of
Georgia, bnt if the people aelect At
lanta we will have no tears to shod.
As a plaoe to visit, with a
pooket fnll of money, we would
infinitely prefer Atlanta; bat with the pay
the Conatitntion fixes for members, we
are deoidedly of the opinion Milledgeville
ia the best plaoe in whioh to legislate.
The latter hoa beoome honored by the
paat, and sentiment is one of the strong
est motive powors to human ootions in
this world. Both Atlanta and Milledge
ville desire to be chosen simply for the
money in it. Do not quarrel. Keep in a
good hnmor. Atlanta's proposition to
erect buildings is really not worth
the paper it is written on. There will he
an abundance of lawyers to show it when
the time comes. As snre as a new eapitol
is ereoted in that city the Btato will have
to pay for it. The building now ooonpied
coat a lively sum, and Georgia is being
taxed for it. Tbero are only two suro
things—death and taxation—and onr State
haa sufficient of both, with no desire to
have them inoreaaed.

IIEATII OF A (ttlEEN OF NONIL
Madam Toresa Titiens, or Tietjens, tho
oelebrated opera singer, died in London
yesterday after many months of Buffering.
A year or two ago sho visited New York,
and fully sustained her brilliant European
reputation. •
She was born in Hamburg in 1834. The
sweetness of her voioo having attracted,
whilst sho was a child, the notioo of s
professional teaobor, hor parents resolved
to have hor educated for a musical oareer.
After tho requisite oonrse of study, she
made her first appearauoe at Hamburg in
1849, na Lucre/in, in Donizetti's favorite
opera, and at onoe established her oloim
to a distinguished plaoe on the lyrio atnge.
Sho prooeoded to Frankfort, and thence
to Vienna, gaining in oaah city increased
ropntation. In April, 1858, she appeared
at hor Majesty's Theatre, London, as Val
entine, in tho “Huguenots''; and with
reforonce to hor first performance in the
metropolis of tho part of Lucrozia, an
able critio obsorvoil that “A voioo so rioh
in qnality, so extensive, and so flexible,
combined with a temperament ao passion
ate, and a dramatic perception so exact,
carries ns haok to tho highost standards
of lyrio exooUenco. The great lino whioh
commenced with Paata anil waa sustained
in all its honors by Bobroeder, Malibran
and Griai, finds no feeble vindication in
tho goniua of Mademoiselle Titiens.” Hor
subsequent onroer in London and elae-
whero, by hor performance of Norma,
Margarolta in “Fanat,” Leonora in the
"Trovatoro," the arduous part of Modes,
in Cherubini's maguiflcont opera of that
usiuo, etc., etc., has fully confirmed the
expectations held out by hor early ruo-
oobr, and for sevoral seasons sho has
formed the chiof attraction at Her Maj
esty's Theatre.
The Roll of the House.—Tho Toll
of the House of Represeutativcs stands—
Democrats 145, Republicans 130, giving
a Democratic majority of fifteen. Thoro
are five contested seats—two from Cali
fornia, two from Iauiisiana, and the one
from Colorado. Randall and Cox aro the
principal contestants for Bpeaker. Bonth-
ern members generally favor Randall, and
it is expected be will, without trouble, be
nominated in canons, and of course
eleoted.
Tun fight in New York is to continue,
it appears. Tho New York Tribune pub
lishes interviews with a number of lead
ing Republicans, who demand a publio
expression of sentiment in condemnation
of Benator Conkling's course. Among
the gentlemen in this movement are
Judge Noah Davis, General Sickles,
John A. Bluart, Joseph U. Choate, and
Mr. William E. Dodge. The Tribune
believes that thousands of Republicans
will not vote the tioket nnless some such
action is taken.

MABII.ITV OF EXPHKtiN COM
PANIES
A recent U. 8. Supreme Court decision
is of some interest to common oarriers
and (hose who entrust packages to them.
In 1809, the Sonthern Express Company
received from tbo Louisiana National
bank at Now Orleans two packngos, one
containing $13,528, for delivery to tbe
Bank of Kentucky at Lonisvillo, and the
other containing $3,000, for delivery to
the Planters' National bank, at Louisville.
Tbo packages were carried to Humboldt,
Tennessee, and tbero delivered to tbe
Adams' Express company's messenger,
who was also the Sonthern Express Com
pany's messenger. He placed them in an
iron saro, and deposited the safe in an
apartment of the onr act apart for the nse
of express companies; bnt the traio, in
passing over a trestle on the Lonisville
and Nashville road, waa wreaked by tbe
falling of the trestle, anil the money de
stroyed by the burning of tbe oar. Tbe
messenger was rendered insensible by tbe
fall of tbe ear, and remained so till after
tho destruction was complete. There was
some evidence tending to show that the
timbers of tbe trestle wore deoayed. On
these facts tho United States Circuit Court
for Kentucky found for tho AdatnB Express
Company, thia defendants. The Supreme
Court reverses the judgment and dooides
in favor of the banks, holding that the
Express companion ato common carriers,
subject to all responsibilities of common
carriors; that they cannot relievo them-
solvoa from losses occasioned by the neg
ligence of a railroad company or its
agents not owned or controlled by them
nor oan they relieve themselves by a spe
cial contract not to be responsible in caso
of firo. Thoir status anil liability aro
fixed by tho law governing common carri
ers, and are not to bo modified and lim
ited by special stipulations. On thiB point,
tho court says : “Having taken np the
occupation of common oarriers, its fixed
legal character could not bo thrown off by
any declaration or atipnlation that they
abonld not be considered snoh oarriers.
The duty of a common oarrier ia to trans
port and deliver Rnfely ngainst all fnilnro
to perform this dnty, exoept such failure
as may be onused by the publio onemy^or
by what is donominnted the act of God.
By speaial contract with his employers,
be may, it in true, to some extent, be ex-
onsed, if the limitations to his responsi
bility stipulated are, in the judgment of
the law, reasonable and not inconsistent
with sound pnblio policy, It is agreed,
however, he oannot by any contrnot with
his customers relieve Uimaelf from respon
sibility for hiB own nogligenoe or that of
his servants, and this beoauHe such a con
traot is'unreasonable and contrary to legal
policy."
Tbe Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows of
tbe United Btates had a very fine session
at Baltimore. From tbe reports presented
in roferenoe to tbo general state of tbe
order it appears that, thongh daring tbe
past year the initiations had diminished
10,000, the revenue fallen off n quarter
of a million of dollars, and 5,000 mem
bora bad been suspended for nou-payment
of dnes, yet thero had boon a slight in
crease in the total membership, and the
fiuanoial condition of the order was sound
and healthy. This is a good showing for
snoh times as we have been experiencing.
Grand Seoretary Ridgely waa direoted to
prepare a history of the order, and $3,000
was appropriated for that purpose. Mr.
Ridgely Btated that he would snrrender
noxt year the office that he had held sinoe
1837. Efforts will be made, however, to
induoe Mr. It. to reoonsidor his deter
mination, as most of bis labors could be
devolved upon an assistant secretary.
Tbe whole subject will como np at tho
next meeting, when oflioers of (ho Grand
Lodge for two years are to be ohosen.
The next meeting is to bo hold in Austin,
Texas.
The Now York Times takes oomfort in
saying that tho liooheBter convention has
left a bad taste in the mouths of sincere
Republicans, and, throwing its bools in
tho air, as it were, kioks ont viciously
like thus: “The whole business was so
potty n display of personal spite, balllod
ambition and vnlgar dictation as to exoito
the hope that it will provokoa sufficiently
vigorous protest from tho party to insnro
us agaiust any repetition of so discredits-
ble and disastrous a performance."
