The tiles of that d paper during the time that tin) Capital ^ bill was under discussion, and especially after the introduction of the bill providing for a vote between Martinsburg, Clarksburg and Charleston, show that the fcyialtr held Charleston, and no one ? else, responsible for the kill. Charleston c was tantalized with having caught a Tar- s tar by introducing and* putting through j such a bill, and the opinion was freeloy Q ? pressed by the llegiMer that Charleston v I had cut off her nose to spite her face; ii nui hiiu wuuhi una nerseu icit out in il:e old; "that in her blind vindictivenws" lie had gained absolutely toothing by the assage of the bill. Nothing, ho far an we can recall, was aid to the disparagement of Clarksburg or the part she took in the pasange of lie bill. Charleston wan the exclusive irget for the llcgutcr'i sarcastic hIioU*.

The President has therefore modi lied the sentence, and it is hoped that Major Keno will appreciate the clemency thus shown liiui, an well as the very reprehensible character of the acts of which he was found guilty.

Wasuiwjtom, May 7.?The Commislioner of Patent) to-day deculcd to decline to further extend the patent* of the lewing-machinc combination inonoply, ind at twelve o'clock to-morrow the prolection heretofore extended the combiuaion by letters paient will expire. The :>atenU? which expire to-morrow cover the ribrating needle and reciprocating nhut:le, the vibrating needle and rotation 100k, and a continuous feed in connection frith the above, whether wheel [or what m known as a four-motion feed. rilia vpi 11 .Inatrnw ?1.n nonopoiida enjoyed up to thin time by ;he Companies known as the Grover & Baker, the Wheeler AWilion, and Howe ind Singer. The combination have nsed what in known a* the John 1'atchelder intent for the continuous feed motion, irhich was the moot valuable patent in liepossession of A. ]{, Wilson, and of rital value. Machines constructed with>ut the motion have no value in the marcct. This sewing machine combination ileared no lefls than $0,000,000 prolit rom this patent. The four Companies leretofore named in 1851 entered into an igreement of mutual protection, by vhich all patents of any value owned by itiier of them should become common property to all; it was also stipulated hat no machine should he sold hi ens than the regulation price, which was placed at six time* the coat of- first manufacture. They would also license other companies not in the combination to use 'heir patents, demanding a royalty of rom $5) to SUOnper machine, according to :lie number 01 machines made; but always Btipulatiug that tho price should be jniform. The arrangement gave the four companies the absolute control of all sewng-mnchines manufactured in America. The invnluableiJatchelder patent has been iwicc extended, and Inst winter the com|>anies interested pooled $1,000,000 and Jinpatched attorneys here to endeavor to indtico Congress to further ex lend the patent by legislation. The novement, however, strange to way, ifith ho much money behind it, failed. Ever since great efforts have been made jy the combination to secure Home molopoly in minor details of construction vhich could bo reunited, and thus save lomething from the wreck.
