Doings of the thirty-sixth Congress.

--The late Congress passed some one hundred and eighteen private and public acts and fifteen joint resolutions. This compares favorably in number with the work of other sessions, while the character of the bills is much more important. The new patent law, as it passed by Congress at the very last hour of the session, makes some radical changes. Patents are to run twenty years instead of fourteen. A Board of Appeal from the decisions of the examiners of patents is provided for, in order to relieve the Commissioner. No appeal is allowed from the final decision of the Commissioner to the Judge of the District Court, as has heretofore been the case. Lastly, the salary of the Commissioner is increased from three thousand to forty-five hundred dollars.
