Supreme Court of the United States, has rendered a - decision in- three cases involving the validity and constitn tionalty of the trade mark laws. Two of. these came up on divisfpn of opinion from tire; United States Circuit Court in New York and the other from tin; Circuit Conn in Ohio, in which. the Judges were diVided in opinion as, to whether the Acts Of Congress on the subject of trade marks are founded on any rightful authority in the Constitution of the United States. The decision of the higher court is, that the statutes in question, establishing a general system of trade mark registration and providing penalties for viotitions of its provisions, cannot be upheld either in whole or in part, and must be declared unconstitutional and invalid. THE ceremony of unveiling of the statue of General GEORGE H. THOMAS was ob served la Washington, D. C., on Wednes day of last week,' with 'due alit, under the supervision of the Society of the Ariny of the Cumberland, and in the , presence of a throng larger than had ever assem bled in the Capitol City,, save on Presi dential inaugurations. The programme included a procesiion of military and civic dignitaries, five , divisions of the Gland Army of the Republic and other military organizations. Hon. STANLEY MaTTHEivs the orator of the day, deli% ered a elnogy on the "Hero of Chicamauga," and on behalf of the society, presented the statue I to the people of the United States. It was received on their behalf by the Presi dent in a`brief speech. The day was ob served as a, general holiday. SAMSON IN POLITICS, Some Words let fall by intelligent public igen- within a few days, but notably the utterances of ' Senator, CARPENTER; have created some gen- . sation. The latter says the Demo crats are desperate, and liable to' resort to desperate means to possess themselves of power in thei nation in 1880. He disignates the policy that may be adopted by the leaders to put a Democrat in the , Executive office. This policy is nothing less than revolution, and relates to throw ing the election of President into the House. At present the House is a tie, rating it by States, each party having a majority delegation in nine teen States; therefore, in order to succeed by an elect ion,,in the House, it will be necessary for the Demo crats to unseat two or three Repub licans in a few of the Republican States, and fill their places with Dem ocrats. In order to throw the elec tion into the House, it will only be necessaiy to object to the counting of the vote of one or more States giving Republican majorities for Presidential electors, when the Houses will ,separate and sustain' the objections;; then will follow the dec laration that there is no election by the people, and under the Constitu tion the House mustllect. Of course, such a course would be. desperate ; but it must be remem bered that the Democratic party is a desperate party, and given to acts of desperation. It is the party which, in 1661, introduced, Samsonianism into politics. Having been bound hand and foot by the people, and dragged from the places of power which it had defiled; it took up the role of_ Sainson and undertook, 'to destroy its captors by pulling down the structure of the Union. But, unlike its 'great prototype, its blind ness was self-inflicted; and again, unlike him, its strength was not equal to the task it set itself to do. Samsori did succeed in pulling down the temple in which he was arraigned, and in. causing the death of hiS ene mies as well as of himself. BuCthe Democratic leaders only succeeded in inaugurating a great civil war, in Which many innocent people perished indeed, but not so many as to result s. in the destruction of the Unsion itself: By its act' it deserved utter destruc tion as a political force, but by a mistaken , magnanimity the people I permitted it to live. The Samsonian policy, as illus trated by the . Democratic leaders, is a policy of rule or ruin. It cannot • be called the dog-in-the-mnger poli cy, because the dog in s this case • stands outside the manger growling and snapping his teali; and threat ening to keep everybody out but• one of its.own progeny. And if the:peo ple refuse to assign the manger to one of their choice, then they propose' to get possession of it under' the forms of law in spite of the expressed will .rif the people. The American . people are not, credulous in' such matters. They never; believe any thing until It has happened. A cer-, tsin class of them do not believe ' some things even after they have happened. They-lo not,.for example, exactly believe there has been ,any civil convulsion in this country, and I a few of them do not believe that slavery has been abolished. As to believing in the possibilities of the I political situation, perhaps not many will be able to convince themselves that the Democratic leaders purpose to compel the election of the Presi dent by the House. . 0 We assume that the Democrats do ME not purpose revolution, with all its grave consequences, except as a last resort. If it be possible to carry Northern States enough to create a tie in the electoral 'vote, they w ill db that.; because, in•that case, they will have right and law in so much on their side: But with the House a tie by States, this will not avail them a great deal, except in so. far as it might operate to devolve the duties of the Executive upon the President of the Senate: But the Democrats will not be able to carry enough • electoral votes North: to tie the col lege ; therefore, they will have to refuse to count the vote of some one or more States and wend_ the . election .to the House, as, the Constitution provides where there is no choice by the people. In . order to carry due 'weight, the Executive must be elect ed by,the people or by.the House.. Ilience, unless the Republicans carry every Northern .State; it is, highly probable that the House will be made Democratic by States during its next session, ns . a p-eparatory measure for the great stroke in 1881. It is well enough to look the situa tion in the face._ Andithe appeals of mid people, not to disturb the pub- lie, must be denied.. The same ap peals went up all over the land in IsGO when the Republican press, bas ing its warning .upon Democratic utterances, warned the people of dangers ahead. If there was any thing in the history—of the Demo. cratic party to Warr i ant expectatiO,n of fair play, - it would be different but with a conqpiracy to defraud the' people in Maine, and the dull, dead load of Demnciatic rascality in the past to instruct and warn, the people cannot shut their eyes to the I )4si- Unities of the matter. Nothing less than overwhelming Republican tory throughout the North in 18.80 can probably-avert the disaster. , Tins number of the REPORTER is dated on the day recommended by the National and State authorities to be set apart as a day of thanksgiving and praise to the Great Rt len. for the many blessings we have enjoyed during the past year, , for our peaceful', and prosper*. condition as a Nation, ,and for the many favors which have been showered upon us as individu als. It is eminently proper that we should desist fiom the multifarious occupations p of life, to devote one secular day to a con sideration of the wisdom and goodness of Him who h. Ids the world and all it con tains as in the hollow of His hand ; by whose gracious bounty we arc 'fed , and clothed, and from whom , 'proceeds all good and fcct gifts, and everything which contri utes to our. enjoyment. Cus tom has ma le the day an occasion for family gathering and for strengthening the bonds of family attachment and love. Around the .hcarthstones of many of our readers will be gathered in a loving re union the scattered membdrs who' have gone out to make their homes in distant States, and whO now ;gladly respond to this opportunity to re-visit the scenes of childhood, to embrace andicreet the liv ing, and mourn over theadarted. For one day, at least, we trust the harrassing demands and carking cares of life will be put aside, and the .weariest heart find comfort and sweet consolation from the intluenc,es , and solace which come with re: united homes and the re-assembling. of scattered 'households. At such a time, and on such a sacred and joyous occasion, no better testimonial of thanksgiving and praise and gratitude can .be offered than by remembering 'the wants and niinisterr lug to the comforts of the poor. •` Not: every home in the land will be brightened' by ;he presence of absent loved ones, nor irradiated by the cheerful knowledge of Wessings enjoyed or bright anticipations of the future. There will be want and suffering and sorrow around many a hearthstone, and the . guests will be bruis:- ed and bleeding hearts, •and gloomy and rincheerful forebodings for the morrow. To such as feel the absence of the good things of the vvorld, and upon whom penury and want. press heavily, the re membrance of those who are more-highly favored can bring something of happiness and pleasure. If otir thanksgiving would take the shape of that practical benevo lence which adds to the basket and the store of the destitute, van there be any doubt but that the off•2ripg would be•ae ceptable to Him from thorn all blessings flow Header, try it ;,,mod while the holy influences of the day are Ig - welling Your heart with gratitude, make some worthy but less fortunate person happy, and the savor of the good deed will add not the least to your enjoyment of this occasion. 'NOSE shiewd people wio are endeav-, oring to ",head oft" the GRANT boom bbl" declaring that he is not in sympathy wits the stalwarts;and that he would, if elect ed, disappoint those who are sectional in ' their views, make a great mistake. ' Of a like character is the attempt to create' Republican discord and distrust by a sup posed Southern movement in his favor. Neithel of these threatened contingencies have any terrors, and the attempted use. m • ade of them is simply nonsensical. If any portion of the South should honestly declare for GRAN-r, the movement would be distinctly and wholly a Republican, achievement and a' Republican gain. It vrould be the reSidt of recent victories in the North, it Nyould tend to remove the menace to the party now made by a solid Smith, and it would help to; put' in the White House a man whom Republicans: are not, afraid to trust even though he had the strongest Southern backing. The men who would 'be confounded and stul tified by such a movement are those who have opposed the GRANT movement upon the ground that. it is based solelyupon hostility to the South. . In point of fact, Northern Republicans want a poaceful and prosperous South, and, a South that is divided politically as the North, is. The things they hate are Southern law lessness and, treason ; they never have hated -the Southern people. 3 A warrEn- in the ward, printed in Plymouth, Luierne county, predicts that in fifteen years ocean steamships will dis charge cargoes alongside wharfs in that borough., Now we call that a mean at tempt to steal some of our thunder. It's only.a few weeks ago that, we prophesied that - ocean steamers would ins short time navigate the Susquehanna river as far as the state line'. . To-be-sure, there are plenty of places where, lit a dry time, a man can wade across the river, but then modern engineering skill and science ean easily overcome these little difficulties: There might be a series otinclined planes to haul the ships over the. bars, or if Congressman.

The reception to be given to General Grant, on his arrival in this city, promis es to be,i grand affair. The persons hav ing it in charge are determined that its ,magnificence shall eclipse the demonstra tion of Chicago. 3 As his tour began here, they say it is appropriate that should end here with a display which shall be in ac cordance with the honois everywhere paid him. The cptand Army of the • Republic are to have iheir - day ; the Union League expects to feast him ; the leading manu factories are to be visited ; the school children are to have a sight of the great chieftain ; and all the civic and military organizations irrespective of party, will turn out with their "hail to the Chief, who in triumph advances."

It's a comfort, however, if ire must have such sudden and fearful changes of the temperature, to know that Old Probabilities can tell us of their ap proach, and determine almost to an hour when, an overcoat or umbrella will be be needed. Now that science has deter mined whence come these waves of heat and cold, it would be more satisfactory if some method could be devised of temper ing the wind to susceptible mortals. The great quantities of pig and iron ore that have been arriving at this port lately, and been transported to furnaces and mills in the interior, have largely swelled the earnings of the railroads run ning out of Philadelphia.

It is folly for people to say the office is of no consequence to them, as they never go to law; for if they are tax payers it is of consequence to them to have court business transacted with prop er dilligence and dispatch, and no one knows how soon a lawless man may tres pass beyond the power of endurance, or a - thief take his property, or an assassin strike him down .at noonday, and theh their only safe resort • for redress plies in the .courts of justice.

Same suppose that every person admitted to the.bar is learned in the haw, as they also suppose that' every person: who:ob tains a teacher's certificate, potawies great learning ; bat ,we .fear that inch is not :always the case. • Admittance to tholar, and teacher% certificate, are often granted With great reluctance, and with the ex pectation that the applicants will - continue tbeir.etudieff and soon become competent for the-business to Which they aspire.. A 'judge should bacon logical mind that Can coinpate ideas, weigh evidence with great &liberation• and. exactness; • detect the weak points and sophistries of an -argu :mentfand be able to place-the whole case in a clear light before the jury. Rhetoric and eloquence are wasted on such minds, only stern logic, and stubborn facts can move them a hair's breadth. A. judge should have a clear bead anda cool temperament. Brilliant lawyers with an excitable temperament ,, when trying cases of great importance, haVe sometimes become " fuddled " and have broken .down. Like bees drownedin their own 1106-, their brilliance was their misfor7 tune; the wonderful activity of their minds and the multitude of their thoughts' confused theM. Great orators do not always make the best- judges It is doubtful whether - Burke, Pitt, or - Patrick Henry, could over have filled the places of Blackstone,- Mansfield, .or Story. A judge should be laborious. If your hired man is lazy and does but half a days work in one, you lose only - half his board and wages. But, if thejudge of the court has - pin. health, is indolent, or slow, then. there is a loss not only of half his salary, but . also the time of a multitude of witnesses, jurors and attorneys,' to say nothing of the increased hotel bills. As a citizen of the republic, a judge should have decided views on political questions, and should vote in accordance with h' convictions; but in selecting a candid.; e, we should never take a man who 11„ as rendered himself odious to nearly half the community by denouncing their Political principles in public 'assemblies. We sliraild avoid even the appearance of evil. IWe believe that Judge, Morrow possesses these qurlitications in an emi nent degree. We - do not say that he alone post:eases them, others may be well qualified, bet .we du 'say that in one re si.eet he stands without a 'rival. , The ea.-es in which he was interested as an at toniey, lutve all beeu T disposed • of, and should he be re-elected; the business can all I.e done.at the regular courts, without incurring any additional expense to the county. _ _ . Every other lawyer .at the bar of Brad ford who k likely to be selected, is em ph,yed in hundreds of cases, which of course as judg , , on the bench, he could; not - ,roperly try,- and a' gie.it expenses would thereby lee entailed ,tui the County for holding special courts to try those CASPS. We believe that ; Judge' Morrow is en cy unobj.ictioliable to Democrats. Theugh a Republican, he has not taken an active part in politics since his eleva tion to the bench, and he never obtained the hatred of the opposition by those vio hod harangues which are so popular in a lfeated canvass, but of very doubtful utility in the long run. The few political Speeches he made were argumentative for his. party, left no aching sting behind. We presume he is willing to be continued in the office which he now holds if it can he done without a party tight, at causing political alfilniisities - which the sacred char:Weil or-tht office sternly forbids. Should we next fall nominate a political war-horse—or one ofour party champions, f e.boin we are ju.,tly proud, a man who has wielded the battle axe with the sttenethu 4 - an Ajax and the courage of a lion} it ti•ould :11,,m:e a spirit of anger and activity in the Democratic party, not at all We- might be able to elect such ' fl, man, but would it he morally rieht or expeditM? It may be, said that we are' in a great hurry to bring 'albs subject forward now, that the matter had better wait until about the time of hcild- Mg the nominating convention. The 'Writer of this has had an experience of nearly half a century in county politics; and he knows if .Tndge Morrow's friends wait until the day of the convention, the ques'ion will not be. whether he is honest and capable, but hole man!, delegates he ed a contro l. Sunc years ago, a delegate when asked to support a friend of ours, said he was wry anxious to have Mr. A. nominated for senator, and would support the candi dates who could do the most for him. A vet y geuerouia candidate for a certain of- . fieo, when asked to assist a candidate for a different one, replied. " Why, i.es ; I'll give Mr. 13 tiro delegotex for one, and if be is not satisfied with that I'll thiow in half dozen more for nothing." It:is'folly to think of nominating a mani ou hts merits, who bus not been talked about previous to the convention. The Angel Gabriel could not be mominated unless a public sentiment had been. ereatediin his favor belore-baud. It is not safe to wait until the plans of the schemers are all per fected and their combinations made. ' This paper has' been written' without any solicitation or suggestion from .lodge Morrow. It is dens without his 4now ledge or consent, add we do not know that it will meet with his approval. Should it be considered untimely or un wise,. the blame must-be ascribed not to him, but to , CASTE:L.IH.
