Her father and I were cousins, and af ter a lite of wandering Uoheiuiauism, he left Leslie alone, iu the world. I offered to take her to my home, an offer glad ly accepted.

If the bull is a brave animal, ! then, after a few minutes' coutest with the picador, the second act begins. At a : signal from the president the trumpet sounds and a body of young men, called chnlos. or merry-makers, enter the arena gaily dressed and with colored -cloaks. They flaunt these in the face of the bull and eutice him away from the picadors. They are exceedingly, dexterous and skill ful in escaping from the plunge of the in furated animal. I was told by a gentle man that he had seen them, when the bull was rushing on them, leap between his horns aud over his back. They will, as they leap one side of him, fix a little goad -with a colored ribbon attached into his neck, o.u eiit'i si.li aa I exactly op posite each other. The last trumpet announces the third act.

This alarmed her still more, as they had no dog of thifir own. ! She immediately rose, and going to her j maid's room, awoke her, and they went dowu together. They first jieeped into the room where they had heard the dog. It was moonlight, at least partially so, for the night was cloudy ; still it was light enough to distinguish objects, although but faintly. They saw an immense rough dog scratching and gnawing . furiously at the door leading into the kitchen whence she thought the noise she first heard had proceeded. She requested the servant to opeu thc door which the dog was attacking so vio lently. The girl was a determined and resolute creature, devoid of fear, and she did so without hesitation ; wheu the dog rushed in, aud the widow saw through the open dMr two men at thc kitchen window, which was open. The men instantly re treated, and the dog leaped through the window after them. A violent scuttle ei. sued, anil it wasevident,from the occasion al tones of the noble aiiim.il, that he toaie tinies hail the worst of it. The noise of the contest, however, grad ually receded, till Mrs. M cmld hear only now and then a taint aud indistinct bark. The robbers, or perhaps murder ers, had taken out a pane of glass, which had enabled them to uudo the fastening of the window, when, but for the dog, they would doubtless have accomplished their purpose. The mistress and maid got a light, and secured the window as well as they could. They then dressed themselves, for to think of sleeping any more was out of the question. They had uot, however, got down stairs the second time before they heard their protector scratching at the outer door for admittance.

He then stretched his huge balk, at full length, beside the warm stove, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

He stood whining impatiently at the door till it was opened, when he gallopped oft' in a great hurry, aud they never saw him afterwards. What Pitkin Publicly Promulgates About Packard and Pitkin.

Letter Rxnn fining L. ClemmoniFact in TUgard to tXe Iuvtntion of Electru - Telegraph, ' LocnvtLLE, Kt.. July 2, 1377. To tht Editor of thtHaleiglJCcwt : Sir i My attention has been called to a communication, or rather an extract from a communication, from the Rev. M. L. Wood to. your paper, in regard to the original inventor of the electric telegraph. The gentleman is mistaken in saying that Mr. Morse was a student of Randolph Macon College, Va., and a classmate of mine. He w not mistaken, however, in representing that my friends claim for nie some part of the honor of suggesting that iuvention. I was a student aT Randolph Macon College from ,1333 to -1337 iueln stve. It was in the1 year-133.1--that the snggestions, drawings and explanations alluded to by the gentleman were made by me. Having been absent from North Caro- l,lia for twenty-seven years I do not know whether eei tain citizens of that State who were fellow students of mine are yet liv i ig or not. If the Rev. Baxter Clegg, or J. W. Cameron, once editor of the Wadesboro Argus, are yet living, he or they will tes tify t all the facts connected with this matter. There are others who are famil iar with them whose names I do not re member. My drawings of the telegraphic wire, &c, were made around the walls of my room, and often made the jest of my visitors." I was regarded as a visionary, and no person ever agreed with me that it could be done. My explanations all went for naught. I saw it as clearly my self at that time as I do to-day, aud had I not been devoted to my general collegiate course, aud very much prejudiced against "patent lights," I should then have put j my suggestions into practice and applied for a pateut As it was I pursued the llttltflll tl rtlk At f Itonvnf ! ki.1irrkd . . tlou &U4tll;& iUI lllt lll.lll CI 1 llV'i Vllv "UjjqVO HOU WllU UHIWIU , n,reUcies- anc '0entie telegraphic comn tance wmlj Ina with drawiugs and explanations of and machinery by which communications at any dis- ide. I was regarded as very extravagant when I contended that these wires could be used across the At lantic, and prophesied that the day would come when they would encircle the globe. I believed this and so coutended with my incredulous companions. This is all that I am entitled to any credit for. It was some three or four years before Mr. Morse's invention. Mr. Morse is entitled to the honor of having put the invention into practice, which was certainly more important to the world than the mere intellectual con ception. During the year 1334-'5-'6-7, electri cians in England, France and Germany made more or less progress in this inven tion. It proved, however, in Morse's hands more vital and successful than in the hands of any one else, aud hence he was held by the world as the original iu veutor. I unite with all the world iu ac cording to Prof. Morse the honor justly due to the triumphs of genius. Whether or not Prof. Morse ever de rived any benefit from my labors is only matter of suspicion with me. The cir cumstances were these: A gentleman by the name of Page was commissioner of patents at Washington. He had acquired considerable reputation as an electrician. I knew him by reputation as an electri cian but was ignorant of the fact that he was connected wit!i the p.itent office. In 13.'J when this conception of an electric telegraph and the manner of working it was sufficiently perfected in my own mind j to justify its revelation to men of science I wrote to Mr. Page on the subject. I ac companied my suggestions with rude drawings of the machinery aud asked Mr. Page what he thought "of it. My object was to obtain the opinion of a scientific man. My communication was concluded in polite and respectful terms and I nat urally expected some sort ot answer. Mr. Page, however, never replied to me in any way. I then let the matter drop and directed my attention to my studies, only occasionally renewing my suggestions amoug my friends. Some four years after my communica tion to Page I was oue day rather star tled by seeing a notice iu a newspaper swiung iuhi a,'-" l' l by Page, Smith, Amos Kendal and Morse to patent and put in operation Morse's invention. I was still more sur- nrisea to learn uiai rage, ueiiis fi.vumifi of pateuts, was prohibited by law from Inking a patent in his own name. I learn ed also that Page was the son-in-law of Amos Kendal, and that there was some M other considerations that . gave cohesion to said partnership. I immediately sat dowu and wrote to Page, charging liim with having used my suggestions for his own benefit and at the same time I pub lished a communication iu the Washington Globe, making the same charge publicly. Mr. Page answered my publication ad- iui tbe recei t of my suggestions and , . b luc . J . . ura wings anu mat ue ueei ausnncu uij inquiries. His excuse was that at that :.., nn,i nn ditU in h nmW an A t, ht ,t mmeamj to me. The file, of the QUU of that day will show this. , ' .. e . Z.,ra ; P routed, oy my suggestions to rage is only a matter of suspicion with me have no proof further than the circum stances above jletailed. matter, seeing that I had faili! to nntmr conception into practice, and feeling that for this reason I was entitled to less cred- it than the man who not only had the intellectual conception, but the energy to make it useful to the world.

GOVEaSOR TILDES SPEAKS AT LAST He Denounces Republican Fraud, bitt is Hopeful of the lltpublic. Br telegrap'i to the New and Courier. New York, June 12. Governor Tilden made a brief speceh at the reception of the Manhattan Club to-niidit.- After al luding to the departure of Governor Hen dricks to-morrow, with his best wishes for a prosperous voyage and safe return, he said : "Everybody knows that after the recent election the men who were elected by the people President and Vice President of the United States were 'counted out,' and men who were not elected 'counted in' and seated. I dis claim any thought of the personal wrong involved in this transaction. Not by any act or word of mine, shall that be dwarfed or degraded into a personal grievance, which it, in truth, the greatest wrong that has stained our national anuals. To every man of the four aud a quarter mil lions who were defrauded of the fruits of their elective franchise, it is as great a wrong as it is to me. And no less to every man of the minority will the ulti mate consequences extend. Evils in gov ernment grow by success aud impunity. They do not arrest their own progress. They can never lie limited except by ex ternal forces. If the. men iu possession of the government can in one instance maintain themselves in power agaiust an adverse decision at the-elections, such au example will be imitated. Temptation exists always. Devices, to give-the color of law, and false pretences on which to found fraudulent decisions, will niit be wanting. The wrong will grow into a practice if once condoned. In the world's .history, changes in the succession of gov ernments have usually been the result of fraud or force. It has been our faith anil our pride that we had established a mode of peaceful change to be worked out bv the agency of the ballot-box. The ques tion now is, whether our election system in its'substance as welhts form, is to be maintained! Thi is the questiou of questions. Until it is finally settled there eanbe no politics founded on infeiior questions of administrative policy. It in volves thc fundamental right of the peo ple. It involves the elective principle It involves the whole system of popular government. The people must signally condemn the great wrong which has leeii done to them. They must strip this ex ample of everything that can attract im itators. They must, refuse a prosperous immunity to crime. This is uot all. The people will not le - able to trust thc au thors or beneficiaries of the wrong to de vise remedies but when those who con demn the wronghhall h ave the power, they must devise the measure which shall render a rejietitioii of the wrong forever impossible. If in v voice eonid reach throughout our country and be heard in its remotest hamlet. I would say : "13e of good cheer, the b'epublic will live, the institutions of our fathers are not to ex pire Jn shame; the sovereignty of the peo ple shall be rescued from this peril aud re-estahlWied." Successful wrong never appeal's so triumphant as on the very evo of its fall. Seven years ago a. corrupt dynasty culminated in its power over the million of people who live in thc City of New; York. It had conquored, -or. bribed, or rtattered, and won almost everybody into acquiescence. It appeared to be in vincible. A year or two later its mem bers were ia the penitentiary or in exile. History abounds in similar examples. We must believe in the right and in the future. A great and noble nation will not sever its political from iu moral life.' Anger is blood, poured and perplexed ntoa fo.Uli; bat m ilico the wisdom of oar wrath. . Though a good life may not sileaco calumny, it will disarm it. : t : i t H V' it 5! b i t , i - i '' 1 i t r As, It i I r I If if H If i t 1 t It e 7 i l Hi . . M T r 1." I'-
