Johnson et al., of Cincinnati, which are prosecutions for violations of what are known as the trade . mark laws. The cases came before the Supreme Court on certificates of division from the Circuit Courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York and the Southern District of Ohio. The question upon which the judges of the lower courts were divided in opinion is, "whether the acts of Congress on the subject of trade marks are founded on any rightful authority in the constitution of the United States." It was maintained by counsel, who sought an affirmative answer to this question, that there are two clauses of the Federal constitution which furnish a sufficient warrant for the legislation in dispute. The first is the eighth clause of section 8, article 1, which provides that Congress shall have power to pass laws "to promote the progress of science and the userul arts by securing lor limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their writings and dicoveries." With regard to this point, the court holds that the ordinary trade mark has no necessary relation to invention or discovery. The court is, therefore, of the opinion that such legislation is not authorized by the constitutional provision concerning authors and inventors and their writings and discoveries. The other clause of the constitution relied on to support this legislation, is the third of the same section, which provides that Congress shall have power "to regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the several States aud with the Indian tribes." With regard to this the court says that the legislation contemplates the establishment of a universal system of trade-mark registration for the benefft of all who have already used a trade-mark, or who wish to adopt one in the future, without regard to the character of the trade to which it is to be applied, or locality of the owner. Such legislation is, in the opinion of this court, in excess of congressional power. The court wishes, however, to be understood as leaving the whole question of the treaty-making power of the general government over trade marks and the duty of Congress to pass any laws necessary to carry such treaties into effect, untouched. The question in each of these cases, viz.: whether JL L L ~ mLaIa in inese aiaiuies uau u? upuurn iu wuuie ui iu part as constitutional, must be answered in the negative, and it will be so certified to the Circuit Courts. Under the provisions of the laws which have thus beeu declared unconstitutional, about 8,000 trade-marks have been registered at the patent office, and about 200 applications for registry are now pending. The Cost of the Postal Service.?The report of the auditor of the treasury for the post office department for the fiscal year ending June 30, shows that the actual cost of the postal service to the general treasury during that period was only $3,031,455, a remarkably small deficit, nearly $1,600,000 less than that of the preceding year. The total revenue of the post-office department during the last; fiscal year was $30,041,982, an increase of $764,475, and the total expense $33,073,437, a decrease of $1,081,647 in comparison with the preceding year. Of the later amount, $795,612 was saved by the law which changed the basis of postmasters' compensations from commissions on stamps sold, to commissions on stamps canceled, and the remainder by a reduction of the compensation allowed to railroads. The States returning the largest revenues were : New York, $5,710,310, Pennsylvania, $2,732,593, Illinois, $2,398,627. Massachusetts, $2,087,228, Ohio, $1,976,440, Missouri, $1,124,555 and Michigan, $1,004,487. The principal items of expenditure were as follows : Compensation of postmasters $7,182,239, clerks in the post offices $3,413,295, lettercarriers $1,947,706, railroad transportation $9,100,706, "star" service (by horses and ordinary vehicles) $5,537,245, steamboat service $665,107, and foreign mail transportation $203,917. The total receipts from stamped envelopes, stamps and postal cards were $28,145,074, and from box rents $1,381,162. The net revenue from the money order business was $219,226. The aggregate gross revenue at the 88 free delivery post-offices was about $13,000,000 and their gross expenses, innln/linnr v, o noxr nf 1 of far* no rrlnrc of n tvac a lllViUUUlg IUV VTA iVVWi VttlllViO) VVV/f) 11 MO M little over $5,000,000. ? Mother Wit.?A pretty long list might be made of men who have owed their advancement in life to a smart answer given at the right moment. One of Napoleon's veterans, who survived his master many years, was wont to recount with great glee how be once picked up the Emperor's cocked hat at a review, when the latter, not noticing that he was a private, said carelessly : "Thank you, Captain," "In what regiment, sir ?" said the ready-witted soldier. Napoleon, perceiving his mistake, answered with a smile: "In my guard, for I see you know how to be prompt." The newly made officer received his commission next morning. A somewhat similar anecdote is related of Marshal Suvaroff, who, when receiving a despatch from the hands of a messenger, atttempted to confuse him by a series of whimsical questious, but found him fully equal to the occasion. "How many fish are there in the sea?" asked SuvarofF. "All that are not caught yet," was the answer. "How far is it to the moon?" "Two of your excellency's forced marches." "What would you do if you saw your men giving way in battle ?" "Id tell them there was a wagon-load of whisky just beyond the enemy's line." Baffled at all points, the marshal ended with : "What's the difference between your colonel and myself?" "My colonel cannot make me a lieutenant, but your excellency has only to say the word." "I say it now, then," answered Suvaroff, "and a right good officer you'll be." A Queer Carolinian.?There is a practicing physician now living in Pender county who has had a somewhat rema&able career. He is at the present time fifty-seven years of acre nnrl Viflq never taken a chew of tohaeoo. and does not know one playing card from another. He has been twice married, and both of his wives were of the same christened name, while his second wife, who was a widow when he married her, can say the same of both her consorts. He had two step-mothers and two mothers in-law, besides his own mother, which makes five women whom he has called mother. He saw his own mother married in 1831, and in December, 1842, bis father wrote to him to get him a license to marry his second wife, which he did, and then waited on his father at his second wedding. This man had nine brothers-in law present each time he was married, and at his last courting there were about sixty nephews and nieces who called bim uncle. He had six children and two step children, three children married, thirteen grandchildren. He is a good citizen, a thorough and uncompromising Democrat, a good old Reb, who went through three years of the war. He is now one of the oldest physicians in Pender county and a graduate at the Charleston School of Medicine, class of 1845.? Wilmington (N. C.) Review. Judge Kershaw.?The Columbia Register is requested by Judge Kershaw to announce to his many admiring friends in the. State, that it is his earnest desire that his name should not be considered in connection with the nomination for the office of Govern- j or.

It would be reasonable to suppose that, iu a land like ours, every individual of ordinary intelligence would have a clear and correct notion of what is meant by the word Church. This, however, it will be found, is not the case. Some limit the meaning of the word to a house in which God is worshipped; others make it to mean the same as the word denomination. This latter class make as many churches as there are different denominations of Christians, and the former multiply the number of churches until it equals the number of houses in which God is worshiped. i.u:_ _:n a jo rum tuio, it win nppcai tu anj mind, that the word Church is but vaguely understood by, perhaps, the majority of persons in Christian lands. In the Scripture signification of the word Church, it means an assembly of persons who have convened, by divine appointment, to worship God. The Church was organized in the days of Abraham, and, up to the time of our Saviour, embraced all the seed of Abraham, through the line of his son Isaac, and grand-son, Jacob. Until the days of Solomon, there was no house of worship. Hence, there was a Church before there was a temple. The New Testament Church is made up of all who profess the true religion. By the true religion, is meant the religion of the Bible? the religion of Jesus Christ. It is manifest that while all the seed of Abraham, through the line of Isaac and Jacob, were, by the covenant compact between God and Abraham, members of the Church, many of them had not the faith of Abraham, and, consequently, were* only nominally members of the Church. This being the case, we conclude that the Church is both visible and invisible. It has an external organization, and an invisible union with its head, Jesus Christ. Of the invisible Church we cannot speak with absolute certainty. Its members are known only to God. It is the visible Church that is made up of all those who profess the true re ligion. Farther than a public profession of the true religion, and a manner of life conformable thereto, we cannot and dare not judge. It is God's peculiar province to discern the hearts of men. Of the invisible Church we may say, that part of it is on earth and part in heaven, and that that part which is still on earth, is included in the visible Church. The visible Church is composed of all professed believers in Jesus Christ. Some of these have only a name to live; others have actually believed, and, therefore, professed Christ before men. The visible Church will not all be saved, because all have not believed. That feature of the visible Church which, both in theory and practice, is often, even by professed Christians, ignored, is its unity. In other words, Jesus Christ established but one Church?not many churches. In the Scriptures, the Church is frequently called the body of Christ. The language is figurative, and designed, among other things, to illustrate and enforce the idea of the unity of the Church. However many members there may be in a human body, they aliform but one and the same body; not a different body or many bodies. The unity of the Church is manifest from the fact that all believers have all things that are essential to their spiritual and eternal welfare in common, and all professed followers of Jesus are entitled to the same privileges. All believers, in their united capacity, are, as we have seen, the body of Christ. This body is one. "We being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members of one another." Romans, 12:5. The common relationship which each believer sustains to Jesus Christ, is that of a member of the spiritual body of which he is the head. This is not all; but aB Paul declares, they "are members flgntt j?g?? \ Wanted.Wantea C_J PHTiLifl pr ki n ., I THE LADIES WHO have tried the American say it can't be beat.

They are united to each other as the several members of the human body, are united to each other. This is the reason that brotherly love is one of the best tests of being in Christ Jesua by a living faith. As there is but one body, so there is but one spirit by whom that body is animated. It is common to all believers that they, each and all, have been quickened by the Holy Spirit. It matters not how unimportant any one of the members of Christ's body may appear to be, in it dwells the Holy Ghost. The uuity of the Church is manifest from the fact that all believers are filled with the same expectation and desire. They all expect salvation, for God has promised it, and they all desire it, for by the spirit they have been enabled to taste and see that the Lord is God. There is one hope, and but one, and all believers are filled with the same expectations and desires. The destiny of all is heaven?a seat at God's right hand, where there are pleasures forevermore. The unity of the Church is further manifest from the fact that there is but one Lord Jesu3 Christ. He owns all believers, not simply because he made them and provides for them; but because, as God-man, the redeemer, he purchased them with his own life. He gave his life a ransom for the Church, and over it he reigns Lord and Sovereign, That there is but one Church, is evident from the fact that there is only one faith. The object of the faith of all believers is Jesus Christ, and ail believers embrace him with their hearts. "With the heart, man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation." Rom., 10:10. All who believe in Christ believe with the heart, and this is the channel through which they receive the righteousness of Christ; by which they are justified ; and all who receive the justifying righteousness of Christ, confess with their mouths Christ, and this last is the evidence of the former. Not only is the faith of all believers the same, but their baptism is the same. After all the wrangling which has existed, and still exists among Christians respecting the mode of baptism, and the proper subjects of that ordinance, all who take the Bible for their I guide, admit that their is but one baptism. | All who are baptized make the same profesj sion, enter into the same covenant, and are ; devoted to the same Saviour. Not only do all believers form one body, which is the Church, and this body, in all its members, is pervaded aud animated by one spirit; not only is there one hope, one expectation and desire, one Lord, one faith and one baptism ; but there is only one God and Father of all believers who is over, or above all believers, and who pervades and dwells in all believers. These facts plainly prove the unity of the Church, or prove that there is but one Church, and not many Churches. The same thing I may be shown from the fact that all believers enjoy the same privileges. All who believe 1 in Jeans Christ are adopted by God, and so 1 become his children, and are entitled to the same privileges. Whatever privilege Jesus I Chri9t purchased for one believer, he purchased for all. It may be asked, how does it happen that the church is so divided? The reply, is an enemy has done this. It is a cause of rejoicing that God has overruled these divisions for good ; but still, the seeds of division in the Church of the living God, were sown by the enemy of all good. THE GENUINE DR. C.
