FRgE CoYPETITIoN ~ TELEGRAPHtNG We
are truly happy t. be enabled to state that bill
!. before a committee Of the NewYork Legisla-
tare having for it's object equal encouragement and
protection to all persons who may lawfully unite
and embark their in the new business OF
telegraphing The bill interieres with no mans
patent bat carries out the intention Of the u. 3
patent laws Of 1885, TO grant equal protection to all
discoyerers end inventors leaving It 10 the federal
courts az 10 all other cases OF patents, to protect
the rights OF parties from invasion.
Against this lust measure, we find Mr f. o J.
Smith up at Albany protesting and Mr. Amos
Kendall annoying Kentucky with his twadde,
through the L0uisvdlc .J0urnd Age aud avarice
20 together, and here we have the sckenlng spec
tacle Of couple Of the pharsees Of Democracy,
one an Ex-M. G. the other an Tx Postmaster Gen
eral holding on to monopoly most injurious to the
press and the public, with the grip OF dying MI
ser to hs money.bags. The man whom Henry
Clay's kindness warmed into political life, and who
turned round to sting his unsuspec,ng beneiactor
is consistent in old age, ever true 10 the mammon
which Influenced his early apostacy.
Mr. Brooks deserves credit for the service he is
doing the country in this matter. We perceive
that the bill granting equal rights to all telegraph
ers passed like a fash through the House OF AS
sembly in Tennessee. A similar measure cannot
but fad favor with the present enlightened Legis
lature Of this commercial State.
