THE sintroOLE IN ILLINOIS.

&Asko character, his Prigilui ideas, his
popular inanners, his daring eloquence bA til e
stump, hle unceasing devotion to the Interests
Of the Northwest, made his name a house
' hold word" among people of all parties in
that region. , Enemies, of course, ;mon rose
to oppose his advance: Such spitits ma
Comas always make enemies. These, "the
men who hate the excellence that they cannot
refush,"Mrtight to defame where they could
not destroy. But his career was onward.
He hal int 'sustained a 'steel reverse since
he defeated Mr. STUAILT.
WbateVer n his political flesh may say of
Judge DOUOLAS, (and he has been an open, a
manly, and sometimes a severe adversary,)
yet to Illinois be bap indeed been a benefactor.
For her he has labored " in season and out of
season." His monument is to be found in the
great tailroild which Weds her chief cities to
the lifluluiPpl and to theLL lakes—which opens
up a vast Interior Ipland commerce—which
has made Chicago a miracle .among modern
reetropolli and which, while elprictiing tile Os ,
flout treasury, bas attracted hundreds of thou
sands of emigrants from the Old World to
found flourishing and prosperous hotnes in the
New. The champion of the settler, the friend
Ind companiou of some of the earliest pioneers
of the fat West, he will never be forgotten.
When, still In the prime of life, this inte
resting man goes before the people of
those whom he has thus served, and asks
another Verdict at their hands, all rho great
lets of his put life will rise up and plead for
him. But chiefest of all is that upon which
he staked his political fortunes in the first
session of the Thirty-MTh Coogress, which ex
pired in June. In other words, be goes be
fore the people of Illinois to know whether he
shall be repudiated by them for asserting hnd
maintaining the principle upon which they
themselves came into the Union, and 'ern
which the Union itself is based—namely, the
right of the people to govern themselves, or tho
right of the people to control and decide upon
their own institutions in their own way. FOrAS
sorting this doctrine a war unexampled in par
ty politics has been waged against him. The
power of the Federal Government has been
organized to put him down. A system of
proscription unparalleled has been initngn
rated at Washington, and stimulated by the
lepandents of power in Illinois, to terrify
all who gave him their aid. Beginning on
his part with every disposition to maintain
friendly relations with the Administration,
his attempts at conciliation have been re
pudiated, and his repeated appeals for tolera
tion have been answered by repeated outrages
upon himself and his friends. But be was
not appalled. Ills gallant bearing at Wash.
ington, his unrivalled eloquence, his con
vincing arguments, prevailed against the wild
and many-weaponed throng of his opponents,
defeated their attempts to overthrow himself
end the principle, and awakened an answering
enthusiasm on the part of the entire people
of the free States, and among many thousands
in the other portions of the Union..
Under inch circumstances Judge' DOVOLAA
returns to Illinois. Although it was but
natural that many of his old opponent, would
array themselves against him, yet we were not
prepared to see them ready to fall back upon
exploded 'doctrines for the purpose' of de
feating this champion of Popular Sovereignty.
In this,age of intelligence and improvement,
a great principle marches oriiird with bee;
„I„,tt_t, in-,avain to arrest
Popular Sovereignty after the effbri which has
taken place in Congress and in Kansas. The
united Federal powers tried to put it down,
but filled. Notwithstanding they were backed
by the army---notwithstandlng they were sur
rounded and strengthened by hordes of office.
seekers and Office-holder s—notwithstanding an
uneducated Southern sentiment at Abe start
came to their assistance over all these Combined
influencer—a plain practical principle has pre
vailed, or is about to prevail. How, then, can
the advocates of the counter doctrine of Con
gressional intervention expect to put it down
by defeating Judge DOUGLAS 1 The memory
of his defiant opposition to Congressional
interference ; of his consistent courage in
the Senate; of his constancy; of his elo
quence; of his complete seffidenial—all these
will come in as so much aid of that principle
which is itself is irresistible, and must prevail
against all differences and over all opponents.
We are not, therefore, surprised, when wo
hear that every day adds to the number of
the Mends of Judge DOUGLAS in Illinois. We
are not surprised when independent journals,
In this and other States, call open their coal
inters in Illinois to stay their bands and allow
the gallant DOVOLAO to make the good fight.
As evidence of the increasing interest with
which his contest is being watched, we copy
the following extracts from such opposition
journals as have reached'us lkyr the late mall,
and we commend these frank and outspoken
opinions to the good people of Illinois I

CURIOSITIES OF PATENTRY
The Journal of the Franklin Institute (of
the State of Pennsylvania) has several good
features and Ortedeclded ipecialty. It is the
oily period* in the bmintr7 which contains
a coMplete record of Amerleark Patents issued.
sinceVenuary, 1828. The index to these Pa
tents, fromlB2B to the present time, stretch
ing over a perida of laver thirty years, is di
gested semi-annually and arranged chronologi
cally, so as to make it invaluable for reference.
Whetherit bo that We are a very inventive
people, or that in our Impatienee to go a head
and our hurry to save time, or that the cost
of,-.taking out a patent be much less In this
country than in other places, it Is certain that
we make more inventions than others do.
The expense is a terrible impediment to a
pbor Man. In England, it 0001 about $875,
and tho same sum must also be paid for Soot
land, and also separately for Ireland, if the in
ventor desire to secure exclusive use of his
discovery in all parts of the United Kingdom.
The payment was $1,500 for each patent,
until 1852, when the charge Was reduced.
whe sum of 52,025 for a patent-right In the
British Islands, to gay nothing of other ex :
Pauses connected therewith, it is wholly out
of the 00,40. o fihy .nrtrir2: artisan to dis
-118186; apci pt two-thirds of all the patents
here and in Great Britain are taken opt to see
cure the discoveries made by practical work.
Ingnaon. Serra .11ORAlie Cyclopedia of Com
merce, which is destined to supersede MOGUL
zocir's heavy and out-of-date compilation, in
forms us that in this country "if the applicant
be a citizen, or an alien of one year's residence,
he is to , pay, to the Treasury of the United
Stake sBe if s British suldect, $500; and all
other $800." The highest rate is
plUed upon British inventions, because Great
Britain exacts even a yet greater payment from
all parties, native or alien.
The July number of the Journal of the
Franklin Institute has twenty octavo pages of
very small type, giving a list of American pa
tents uhich Issued from March 80 to Ainil2l,
1858. :.Thia is exactly one month's total—a
busy month, in all probability, for there are
times, no doubt, when the Patent Office at
Washington is not so much pressed with ap
plications. Some of the patents are curious
enough.
Joras Montanan, St. Dente, near Paris,
France, Assignor to R. F. SPAIFOUnIZRO,
Brooklyn, New York, has patented a Uand
Exerciser for Musicjans, on the claim of its
giving agility and suppleness to the angers,
hand, and wrist of musicians; by the exercise
induced by the application of his "agile
main." This Invention, he *Oda, consists in
earning weights to the wrists or fingers, or
Lath. This can scarcely be a pleasant, we
might say even an useful way, of giving agility
aqd suppleness to the fingers, hand, and wrist
of musicians. Fancy an American lass, ac
customed to rattle over the keys of a piano
forte, trammelled with weights attached to her
wrists, or fingers, or both I Mensieur /nu
Morresma is not very likely to realise a for
tune out of such a patent as this.
Playing the piano, however, being some
tbing of a luxury, we fall back upon some.
thing usethi, and find Murex J. Sruzframs,
city of New York, patenting a Machine for
Shelling Peas, his claini being "the combina
tion of the rollers and endless cards." He
has omitted to say whether this highly neces
sary machine is to be worked with horse or
steam-power.
Alter this comes W. E. KIDD, city of New
York, who patents a process of making bon
net frames, his claim being for " making la
dies' bonnet frames of two thicknesses of
cape laco." It appears to us that Mr. ICIDD
cannot take very much by his patent. The
principle is so extremely easy, and so capable
of being adopted, that bonnet-makers can
easily put it into practice, and so largely, that
his legal rights to the monopoly well become
wholly useleas.
The Down• Easters have a high reputation
as inventors. It was a regular-built Yankee,
we believe, who manufactured wooden nut
megs, not more a cheat, in their way, how
ever, than are the double-barreled guns spe
cially manufactured In Birmingham, (England),
to be traded away to the native dealers on the
coast of Africa, which have every thing pecu
liar to guns—except touchholes. We have
TRORAB BLAIICIIARD, of Boston, Massachusetts,
patenting a mode of making cigar,. andtelitno
1111711V1 -.ay invention Misfits in making
the cigarette with a hollow tube through its
centre, the tube being formed out of the wrap
per hull." Ills claim Is for a new Uncle of
manufacture, the cigarette or paper cigar. The
Bostonian has evidently got hold of an idea
(his townsmen, generally, have only the ghosts
of ideas,) but we have seen cigars and even
cigarettes made somewhat on his principle,
and the slight drawback was that they had so
great a. draught as to be burned out in an In
credibly quick time. Considering bow seldom
paper-cigars are used in this coentry, tho pa
tent will scarcely "pay."
All the other patentees, however, must
"pale their ineffectual fires" before the bril
liant genius of Saucer. W. FRANCIM, City of
New York, who patents & Cane for Paying
Omnibus Fares, his claim being for "Insert
ing pieces of money in a cane for the purpose
of handing omnibus fares." This inventor
must be as great a man of science as Captain
Cattle was after he became partner with
Solomon Gills—for account of whom over
haul your 4' Dombey & Son," and, when
found, make a note of it. What a pity that
this patent money-banding cane should
only come in Just at the nick of time
when the omnibus is going out. In a few
years, the heavy, slow-coach, inconvenient
omnibus will be almost wholly superseded by
railway passenger cars, and, therefore, this
patent will bo practically useless. Still, the
magnificence of taking out a patent for making
a slit In a cane for the purpose of handing
, money to an omnibus driver, is worthy of be
, Ing:remembered. Accordingly, it is duly re
.corded In the Journal of Me Franklin Insti
tute, and thence transferred to the Imperisha
ble columns of Tut Pans.
MORE LTECE LAW IN klistoont.—lt sou stated
recently that a man named Kmoiler had been hung
by a mob in Gentry county, Mo., for killing
another, named Timmons. An accomplice, named
Milligan, was arrested at the time, but his sacs
was laid over until the next term of court. A let
ter from Bt. Joseph, July 6th, says:
A guard waa appointed to watob his prison.
No appropriation was made for their support, and
they became wearied with so thankless and tedious
an employment, add abandoned their pools. The
nw,b went to the county court yesterday and
demanded an appropriation for the expenses of a
guard, and, upon a refusal, they proceeded to the
prison, took Milligan out and led him to the same
tree upon which Kessler hallten days before, been
hung. Ile requested to be baptised, which was
done in a break near by, Here ha had an inlet.,

and a reward or•si,000 was offered by the bank
for the thief and money. The affair was at the

which he proposed to do somewhere on the sea

eglibled to do "with a little money he had saved

Fortieth Semi-Annual Commencement of the
High School—The Programme of Ruining:-
The, semi-annual oommencement of the Central
High School took place yesterday morning at, the
Academy of Masi°, which was tolerably well filled
with a most attractive audience of the young and
fair There was ample room, however, for a num
ber of those who were denied the privilege of ad
mission. The doorkeepers were very discourteous,
and one of their number insulted several of the
0011treliers of the public ichosls,'whoillcoompanted
by their ladies, sought an entrance to the Acade
my. The arrangements throughout were defec
tive. The edifies was entirely too large for a
proper rendition of the exercises, and the speak
ing of the yotithful orators was strained to an un
wonted degree. Thus it was that, generally
speaking, this commencement was a failure, and
passed off, not like others that we have attended,
in a dashing and brilliant style, but in a dull an d
unsatisfactory Snootier.
Bat very few of theold graduates of the school—
those who have reflected honor upon It—were
present. They returned their standee tickets,
and resolved to keep away from the commence
ment.
The following was the order of exercises. Among
the "distinguished " upon the platform we

Rev. Wm B. Odinhelmer, D. D., opened the
exerciser with proer, after which. T. Guilford
Smith stood forward to welcome the eontrollers to
this, the crowning of their work, and, in the nom
of the graduating class, to' my a few words of
courtly welcome to the expectant audience whom
he faced. Ile then discussed the demonic of Ca.
tionality, taking good strung Anglo-saxon grounds,
while expressing a proper and truly American li
berality of view.
The other enrollee followed in order. NOne of
the addresses contained anything worthy of epeeist
notice. Their delivery waa forced end unnatural,
owing, probably, to the character of the edifice.
The gestiottletlon, in a number of. InsteoCee, was
very inappropriate '
and - detracted considerably
from the merits of the speakers. Nearly all of
the graduates publicly receiver he pitiotoe brevets,
which hed been priWaridtoithem by their friends.
The Germania o"obcetra varied the exercises
most agreeably by their ahoice musical selections.
Much genuine applause followed their masterly
performances of the various pieces 'Waned to
them to the programme.
Before proceeding to confer the usual testituoni
ale and degrees, Professor Hart gave the following
explanation In regard to the
E113:3=!
On Thursday evening. the Ist of July, therqwore
public exercises at theßigh Sohool, la declamation
and composition. Plithen of the pupils were op
pointed to speak pleas, original or saluted, Re
cording to th eir own °hake, the performance, how
ever. being regarded merely as an exercise in de
clamation. Ten *quills also were saluted to write
compositions dining the time of the speaking, and
in presence of the audience, on any subject that
might be assigned, the subject not Wog known
beforehand, either to the cutters, or to any ene
else, except to th e gentleman Who assigned it.
The gentlemen invited to select the subject was
Professor Henry Coppee, of the University of Penn
sylvania, and the subject proposed by him was a
saying of Sydney Smith's, that "Manners are
the Shadows of 'Virtues."
At the don of the speaking, each of the writers
was called hpon to rise in hie pisoe and read what
he had Titian. A number of gentlemen of emi
nent standing, not connected in any way with the
school, were present by invitation of the High
School Committee, as a Jury of Award, to decide
who was the best speaker on that occasion, and
who bad written the best extempore composition,
and to reserve the publication of their decision
until the day of Commenoement.
The jury consisted of the following gentlemen,
namely : Professor Henry Coppee, or the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania ; William P. Phelps, Esq.,
Principal of the State Normal School of New Jet ,
sey William 11. Allen, LL.D., President of
Der- Oollege; Joseph T. Thomas, E2q. ; Benjamin Ger

Wathington Lane, Fog ; Frederick W. Grayson,
Esq.; B. 11. Rand, M D. ; Hon. Oeorge W. Wood
word ; How . Ellie Lewis.
Their verdict is now to be made known by their
representative, the Rev. Dr. Odenheituer.
On the contusion of Profeuor Hart's remarks.
Dr. Odenhelmer, in behalf of the jury, presented
the following
" The Jury of Award, kinked by the Committee
of the Controllers of the nigh School to decide
upon the best speaker, and the best writer of or: .
tempera compoeltion, respectfully report
"That they were in attendance at the Central
High School on the evening of the let of July, and
gave their careful attention to the exercises; that
there were fifteen competitors for the first honor in
declamation (one of the original number being
absent on account or sickness), and ten competitors
for the first honor in extempore composition; and
that they met after the exercises in the faculty
room of the Central High School; and, upon de.
liberate consultation, made the awards as follows :
For the best declamation, to

"The duty of Award desire, in conclusion ; to
express their greet pleasure that the performances
to both deportments were so very creditable and
meritorious. reflecting honor alike upon tho In

difficult for the jury to select, among many excel•
lent efforts, the most deeming and successful
competitor In each branch
"Signed, B. GMItnAnD, Chairman.
B. HOWARD RAND, M.D., Seoretary."
The name of Mr. George A. Townsend was then
called, but not answered to. Mr T., who is
delegate to the Literary Coogrees, and a young
gentlemen of considerable literary ability, as eel•
darted by hie frequent contributions to the news
paper peen of the city, may well feel honored by
the report of the Jury of Award. Lie was absent
from the city yesterday. Master Ledyard stepped
upon the platform, and was greeted with much
cordial applause, as was also the mention of the
name of Mr. Townsend.
In this connection, we would recommend to tbe
Faculty of Qirard College to have a limiter jury
of award appointed to decide upon the merits of
the declaimers andcompasers, In their next gradu
ating class. President WiiiirliM ft. Allen, who
wee on the jury at the High School, subsequently
stated, in an address delivered at the College,
that bo never had heard better declamations or

to from the young men of the IDBILIU'ion Oyer

The Trenton Chiral:* states the substanoe of tho
New Jersey Bank CommlastOner's report about the
Bank of Trade at Tom's Rtver as follows :
This bank bas no banking•house at- Tom'a
River; has discounted no notes; received no de
posits, and done no business there;. that it has no
officers or directors at that plade• th at the only
property of the Banking Association at said plane
was an empty safe ; that there were no boots or
papers of the Association there, except some
Honk books brought down from New York on the
day of the arrival of the Bank Commie/loners ;
that no notes had ever been Issued at Tum'sßiver,
or money left there for the redemption of such
noise. A man, styling himself 'The Redeemer,'
and who kept the hotel, in the busk room of
which was the sole financial personification of the
bank; and be admitted to the Commissionere that
be bed, with Ids own funds, redeemed from ono
hund&ed to a hundred and fifty dollars or the
bins; but further than this, the Commissioners
could find nothing that had even the show of a
bank."
,4 The foots are that P. P. James & Co , brokers
of Wall street, New York. ewe the whole of the
stook, and hare only located the bank at Tom's
Paver because of its being easily accessible; and
not because of any desire to eooornmodate the old
:ens of that place, or of Ocean oounty. .The whole
affair bee been, and Is, tat an excrescence, on the
general banking law, and we are glad to know that
the surgeon's knife, in the hands of our worthy
Chiseller, will soon extirpate it. In this mm-
Son It may be well to add that, the holders of bills on
this bank are entirely secured against any possible
loss—the State Treasurer having !SO 61:10 of ster
ling Virginia bonds (wbioh are Now worth about
90) in his hands, with whioh to redeem a °hauls.
lion of 566,000.
"As wen as the Ohaneellor has time to mat en
this report of the Commissioners. he will doubtless
order the bonds sold for gold' and silver, and sp.
'point some one to redeem the bills as fat am' pre.
'tented. By this arrangement the New York slrr
ing shop, that thought to make so loped a thing'
by violating the lows of Now Jersey, will be we
fully d;se',pointed, and each bill holder will re •
colve the full amount of their bills."
