Wlto luTented ibe Teleerapb f The following extracts from an in teresting letter that appears I in the Raleigh News of July jlOtb, written by Mr. Junius L. Clemmons, now of Louisville, Kentucky, but a native North Carolinian, throws important light upon the question asked at this ,head of this article.! It is dated. "Louisville, Ky., July 2, 1877." Re ferring to Rey. M. L. j Wood's letter, handled quite unceremoniously re cently in the public prints, Mr. Clem mons says: I :v' "The gentleman is mistaken in saying that Mr. Morse was a student of . Randolph Macon: College, Va., and a classmate of mine. He 14 not mistaken, however, in representing that my friends4 claim! for me some part of the honor of suggesting that invention. I was a student at Ran dolph, Macon College from 1833 to 1837 inclusive. It was in the year 1833 that the suggestions, drawings and explanations alluded, to by the gentleman were made by me.' i He says: ; ' . : . . -: If the Rev. Baxter Clegg,! or J. W. "Cameron, once j editor of the Wadesboro Argus, are yet living, he or they will testify to all the facts connected with this matter. ' There are others who are familiar with them whose names I do not remem ber. My drawings of the telegraphic wire, 4&c, were made around the walls of ray room, and often I made the jest of ray visitors. .1 1 was re garded 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 limesas I do to-day, and had I not been devoted to ray general collegiate course, and very much prejudiced against "patent rights," I should then have put, niy suggestions into practice and applied for a pa tent. . "I was regarded as very extrava- gant when 1 contended that these wires could be used j across the At lantic, and prophesied that the day would come when they would encircle the globe. I believed this and so contended with my -incredulous com panions, j "This is all that I am entitled to any credit for. It was sorao'three or four years before Mr. Morse's invenr tion. i . "Mr. Morse is entitled to the honor of having put the Jnvention , into practice, which was certainly, more important to the world than the mere intellectual conception." ' j ; ; He does not know whether Prof. Morse ever derived any benefit or not from his labors. He gives these cir cumstances: He sent-in 1833 certain drawings of machinery, with ' expla nations, to a Mr. Page, an electrician of note, who was Commissioner of Patents at Washington, asking his opinion of the theory of an electric telegraph upon the plan, suggested. He received no reply, j .He then says: "Some four years after my com munication to Page, I was'one day , rather startled by seeing a notice in a newspaper : stating that a partner ship had been formed by Page, Smith, Amos Kendall and Morse to patent and put in-operation Morse's invention. I was still more surprised to learn that Page, being' examiner of patents,, was prohibited by law from taking a patent in bis own name. I learned also that Page was the son-in-law of Amos Kendall, and that there were some other considerations that gave cohesion to said partner ship. I immediately sat down and wrote to Page, charging .him with having used my. suggestions for his own benefit, and at the same time I published a communication in the Washington Globe, making the same charge publicly. Mr, Page answered my publication, admitting the receipt of my suggestions and drawings and that he never answered my inquiries. His excuse was, that at that time he had no faith in the project, and thought it unnecessary to answer me. The files of the Globe of. that day will show this. "Whether Morse, a , partner of Page, ever profited by my sugges tions to Page is only a matter of sus picion with me. I have no proof further than the circumstances above detailed." - He concludes with this paragraph: "I have deemed this communica tion necessary to correct the errors into which my friends have fallen, and to vindicate, myself against the sneer of Col. A. M. Waddell, who seems to think my pretensions an absurdity. i "Respectfully, . ' ' "Junius L. Clemmons." Poitofflee Changes in Nertta Carolina.

We have heard it said that she is from Havana, and loaded' with ballast It is not our wish, to excite any unneces sary uneasiness, or to alarm the communi ty; but it is well to remember the terrors of last summer in Savannah, and to provide against alike occurence here. It is now a matter of no question that yellow fever was introduced into that city from the West Indies, and as near as Can be, it is proven that the poison was brought into' the port la the ballast which was emptied on the wharf of the Atlantic & (iulf railroad, as well as the presence in the city of the sailors of the vessels discharging this bal last, in view or tnese facts it behooves us Uo look carefully to our own safety, that no epidemic distract 'the health or business of the city. ',. i i The cargo, of ballast snould not be dis charged within ten miles at least, of the city, and if possible, it had best be thrown ; into the river, or landed on some point not occupied and infrequently visited by peo ple. The vessel should be cleansed and disinfected, and in these days disinfection can be thoroughly accomplished. The crew and such laborers as may be required to clear the vessel of her cargo should be placed under the strictest surveillance, and be detained in quarantine of inspection until the competent authority shall decide that no danger will arise from her presence in the harbor! - , S'! , s'i : j ' S It is not our intention to disparage the ability or disposition of the Quarantine Physician or our Superintendent of Health, assured as we are that they will neglect no means to insure the safety of the communi ty committed to their. care, and we hope that these suggestions will . be received by. them as an evidence of the public interest in the offices they occupy, and a reminder, if such be neoessary, of the very great re sponsibility of their positions. ' It is not as- ' serting too much to say that it would be good policy to. exclude during - the yellow - j "e.i.3 lever season, au vessels irom lmecieu ports. We have been told that an order to this effect has been issued in Charleston and j Savannah, and on this the Superintendent ! of Health can inform us, as he is in corres- ; pondence with the health officers of one or both of these ports. It is needless to say. that the businesT-inferests of Wilmington would suffer incalculably from an epidem ic of vellow fever, and these, as. well as the lives of the community demand the adop tion and the enforcement of the most strin gent measures directed by . the best lights Known io me meuicai - proiessiotvror me well-being of our city, uj i ! ; , .T.

Daly, of the Court of Common Pleas for the City and Coun ty ef New York, against a person styling herself 'Madame Gouraud," restraining her from "Belling transferring, interfering with or in any manner dis- ?oiing of the goods, chattels,' Proprietary Articles, nd trade marks of the late Dr. T. Felix Gouraud." This enjoins the tale of the Oriental Cream, Italian Medicated Soap, and all other proprietary articles of my deceased father. I have therefore to warn the trade against purchasing from the said "Madame Gouraud" any of said preparations,' or from dealing in the same during' tho continuance of the said In junction., Meanwhile my "OLYMPIAN CBKAM" Is free from legal entanglement, and my right to its manufacture and sale unquestioned. The public will find it in quantity and quality at least equal to Its late competitor, and its price reduced to One Dol lar. A. H. GOURAUD, 93 Greenwich St j New York, June 14th, 1877. ! . .
