Tug. 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

THE JUDGEMILIP
. [Tim following communication is
from a Republican whose
,judgment
we respect, and who claims, and de
serves, the right to express his views
through the columns of the REPos.-
' TER: Without 'endorsing his perso
nal preferences, we take occasion to
diSsent from some of the *require
ments which he would attach to
eligibility or proper qUalitication for
the Judgeship. Nearly every lawyer
is more or less of •a politician,'and
improves his oratory or airs his elo
quence upon the stump. Nor do we
Consider such action any .valid ob
jection to the wearing of the judicial
ermine. If we'differ with our corres
pondent upon this point; we agree
with him.as to the general standard
he sets up; and at least we are wil
ling that he shall give his views tend
express his preferences ]
In less than one year from now, the
people will be called. upon to nominate
and elect:a Law Judge, to preside over
the courts of this county. The office haw
always been considered by the inhabitants
of every country governed by written
laws. as one .of the very highest. iinpor-,
tance to their happiness and welfare.
The law making power may make ever
so-good laws, but unless they are correctly
interpreted, and properly adminiStered,
they will avail but ljttle to secure justice
and preserve order in society. • Though
the sons of Samuel took bribes„and per
verted, judgment, though -there was au
unjust judge in New Testament times.
though England furnished a Jeffreys;
who disgraced .the ermine, and Lonnie
.county a judge who reSigned to prevent
impeachment, still we believe the judici
ary of all countries, learning. and
purity of character, will compare Favorably
with the clergy or any , other class of their
fellow men. 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. Every person,
•young or old, wise or simple is irreresteti
in having on the bench the fittest judge
I that cad be obtained. •
A judge should be a trod fearing man.
An Ingersoll,, from the• instincts- - of a
naturally fair mind, or from professional
pride not to have decisions reversed by .
the Supreme Court, might possibly make
a good judge. But we would greatly
prefer, if !life or property were at stake,
to be judged by'a man who believed that
his official act would be passed upon, not.
only by the Supreme Court of the State,
or of the United States, but by the Chief
Justice, itt the Sigh Court of liesien, A
judge should be well learned•in the law.
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.
