MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.
a publication hos been made in The Penn
6yirOHi0H, publiSicd at Philadclphis atiempt-
iug To throw suspicion auJ doubts Over the
proceedings oi Mr.. U.Rrilly. snd ,hoss con-
nccicd WIN him. in extending ibe Magnetic
Telegraph, lro,u philadelphia to Pittsburgh,
aud westward To NJ. Louis. MG O'Reilly. II
seems, las secured n contract from he oTigi-
nal paicntees, authorizing him 10 extend The
Telegraph in the West. aud having associated
with him several gentlemen of chs mcter. he
has prosecuted the enterprise with remarka-
bic energy aud spirit. Some difficulty has a.
risen, and an effort is now making to deprive
MIR. Kelly oi hls contract, or at least To OBJ
tain such management as to control all its OF.
c%Tetions. This Mr.. O'Reilly will not sub.
nit To, aud hence the quarrel. We un-
derstand MIR. 0'Reilly and those associated
with him. are determined To call thuse vho
have caused these publications against them,
before the courts OF jus ticc, bat ia thc mean
time, TO proceed steadily with their great
enterprise TO the Mississippi nvrr.
As several OF our papers have noticed the
publication in the Pennsy lvsnian. we deem il
but mers justice TO Mr.. 0Reilly and his
friends, To give the following card. which has
been inserted in The Pcnus, l,snian in reply:
10THE PUBLIC.
Gran article appears in the PniHsyiDd-
man of this morning signed by the propne-
etors of Morse's Eleclro-N Magnetic Telegraph,
but c~onCocled probably in the laboratory Of
Amos Kendall, at Washingion-purporung
TO be a statement of certain proceedings OF
MIR. Henry O'Reilly. under a contract between
him aud the saii Patentecs. aud in which
the undersigned, among others, is made 10
play a conspicuous part.
] do not intend 10 retort the base and Gu
luminous changes contained in that article;
there are other modes OF settling such a con.
troversy tlian by termination through the
press. But, | respectfully mqucst that public
opinion may be suspended until a full state
meni can be prepared and published from au-
thentic documents. When it shall be- made
to- appear. that long since, the pretended vio-
iauons OF contract on the part OF Mr. O'Rcil-
~, The Paienices, through their Agent, MIR.
Kendall, have repeatedly recognized the vail
duty of the contract, aud have urged the most
prompt and vigorous action under il; that tie
very instruments which are now at work up
on a portion OF the line constructed by Mr.. o.
Reilly. were sold 10 him by Mr.. Morse him-
Ill, aud that this attempt TO repudiate q fair
aud valid contract j. resoned to after the en-
ierpnsc has received such an impulse chiefly
through the indomitable energy OF Mr.. o'Reii-
~ himself, as enables the Pa,cntees "a ma Ike
a btiier bargain. ] will then leave The pub
lac 10 draw It's own conclusions as to he mo
u,es aud integrity Of the respective parties.
