NATIONAL THEATR: Kou Whe European News—The Telegraphic Dte- tation—Opinions of Amos Kendall and Pro- fessor Morse, ‘The magnetic or electric telegraph interesta the whole community. The merchant and the me- @hanic, the ship owner and the shop owner, the mother having a eon in ill health in adistant ity cf the Union—indeed, all are deeply inte- reeted in the numerous lines of wires that ron along the poles in Broadway, and thence through- out this vast republic. Hence, any article relative to the miemanagement of any of the lines, where- by speculators are enabled to prey upon the poor in the price of flour or com, or upon the holders of eotten, at once uttracts the attention of the people, and is read. ‘The public are aware, that sinee last Deeember, the European news received at Halifax by the Cu- nard sieomers, has been transmitted by telegraph from Halifux to Portland, thence by special ex- press to Boston—although there isa telegraph be- tween those points—and is thence transmitted by telegraph to this city, and throughout the country. ‘The exprese between Portland and Boston has been Fon to bring the news by the last seven eteamers, in eonsequence of the refusal of Fog Smith, for pur- pores of his own, to allow the news agent at Hali- fax to rend his messages over the wires under his counol, to the newspapers of this and other cities. Statements in regard to this attempt of Fog Smith to dictate und coerce the public to his high handed meaeurer, have appeared in the papers, and the press have expreesed their determination not to be forced to any scheme that is likely to result 60 in- joriourly and destructively to the public interest as that of Fog Smith. Astociated with Mr. Smith inthe management of the telegraphs, are Profeesor Morse, Ainos Ken- dall, Erq., and Aaron Vail, Eeq. Understanding that Mr. Kendall was in town, and being desirous of arcertaining his views in regard to the sseump- tions of Fog Smith, we eddressed a letter to him on the subject, to which he immediately replied, enclosing three letters—two written by himeelf, and ue by Professor More, to Mr. Smith. This corres- pondence we give in full :— MR. BENNETT To Mm. New Yor Patt . April 11, 1896.

(which 1 rough Professor Moree) my views, at length, on the questions involved, It is, perhaps, unnecessary for ue to add a word of comment to theee letters, Our courne is sustained by the patentee himself, and by those most closely nseocinted with him. This, however, waa to have been expected from upright, sensible, practical men. This correspondence will open the eyes of the public to the danger they have thus far eveaped. Only imagine on important line of telegraph in the hands of such a man as Fog Smith —a man who not only wishes to control the working of a ringle line, #tretching from New York to Port- land, but seeks, for the purpose of coercing the public to hie schemes, to obtain the entire manage- ment of the wires running from Portland to Ban- gor, and thence tothe British lines! But, fortu- nately for the merchant in time of high com- mercial epeculation, and for the poor man in times of high prices of food, the eyes of Messrs, Ken- dail and Morse were opened in season to prevent this public calamity. We mubmit this correspondence to the commn- nity. With it we submit the fact, that had Mr. F. O. J. Smith meceeded in his efforts to secure the control of the line beyond Portland, the entire com- mercial community of the United States, and every cotton dealer, and manufacturer, and nearly every core factor in Europe, would have been subjected to | hia whime and achemes.
