msascs, Notwithstanding II is imposed upon occa-
sioaAlly.
The case decided upon originated in Kentucky, In
ls4s before the District Court in chamber, for an
tcjDDction restraining Reilly from using the Column
bian machine the line running from Louisville 70
New Orleans. The cause was ably argued ~ Me
time and the result was the granting Of toe ilnc-
ton by the Hon. Thos B. Monroe the District Judge.
The Columbian machine was combination o. cleo
tro magnets and Of permanent magnets tnousn
tuatsd that Injunction. An appeal was taken by
OReily 70 the Supreme Court 81 the United States,
wherein the most powerful efforts were used to
break the Morse patent The decision lately render
ed perpetuatss for ever the Kentucky injunction
against Reilly, and establishes the fact that Morse
was the original and first inventor of printing or
recording telegraph" preceding DR.. Steinheil Of
Davy Of England, and all others II is unfortunate
that in the principles of the eight claims there was
not decision Of majority. As il Is minority de.
cree becomes the law OF the land until ease
occurs requiring full bench, when the principles
contested in the court may be changed from that
which now stands IS law. Justices fancy, Catron
Mclean and Daniel sustained the decision rem.
dered Justices Grier Nelson and Wayne. the dis
senting opinion; Justices Curtis and Campbell did
not sit in the adjudication Of the controversy. The
former bad been Morses counsel, and the latter ap
pointed since the arguments were submitted. Your
reporter proceeds to say. that
The Court also hold that Professor Morse In his eighth
claim patented than he discovered invented and
therefore that claim Is diss loved which virtually makes
OF Professor Aorsss pretended claim to the art Ct tale
graphing.
Instead Of the above being true. it is very great
error ard certainly could not have been written by
airy one who beard the decision There never was q
more complete annibilaton than was that of the Bal
system. The Court were unanimous against the
principles of the Balm patent. There is not left .
mantle of gauze to clothe its FORM The decision ex-
tnguished it from the face OF the EARTH As to the
House system, the Court was not pointed as it
was not SO blended in the case as 70 require the
Court to render decision touching its Infringement
The friends of Morse are more sanguine than ever
that the House system does infringe on Morse They
regard the confirmation OF the seven claims as they
now stand in connection with the patent of 1916,
and presume there will be but little delay in testing
the question in New York or Pennsylvania courts.
Your reporter is not satisfied with giving dis
torted statement relative to what was decided by the
Court, but ne proceeds to give copy of the eighth
claim OF the patent of lS40, which the de ,ision
siders too broad, and ought to be disclafned Here
Is the claim as published in your paper
The eighth claim Of Professor Morse referred to abovs
10 UNDERWOOD to claim the art OF Transmitting aud

Now, sir, there is not one word of truth in the
above. How any man can commit such fabrication
is beyOn my cOnce ptiOn. He either must be very
Ignorant or base man. 1t appears to be CARRIED
from one Of the seven claims, but which ami I'M
able T. decipher now give you the whole of the
claims, embracing the seven which were sustained
triumphaDtly and unanimously by the Court and
also the eighth, which considered too broad and
recommended to be disclaimed by four Of the nine
Judges.
