on American Credit.
The following letter from Blanton Dun
can to the editor Of the Nelo York Sun ap-
pears in that paper:
Sir: As you are engaged in publishing
various chapters Of Unwritten history, you
may as well receive a page from me.
In December, 1868, l was retained BIZ
the Memphis and Fl Psso railroad corpora
ton for general service in advising and 9TH
erWise aiding in constructing their road.
labOred in good faith to secure the
completion Of an enterprise which, in my
Judgment, was to be Of vast benefit to the
North and South alike. I paid my oun
expenses, and gaze nearly a years con-
tinuOus and steady cork, until the con-
clusiOn a forced upon me that there had
been frauds Of such q character that I
could no longer permit my name to remain
connected 1Cih Il. and to this ddy I haze
ReUer receiUed reimbursement for my e.
peRditUTeS, nor a cent for my services.
The owners Of the franchise elected me a
director IN January, 1869. But as the
directors were never called together to or
ganize and to act, l conceived that it was
all a mOckery; and having information
from Paris, which indicated that there was
something radically wrong, though the
New York Office declared that 1t would be
satisfactorily explained, l wrote on the Path
of September, 1869, to the President
"My Ieputed position as a director, I
presume, is merely a myth, and therefore
it is not necessary for me to 60 through the
useless formality Of rendering a resigna-
ton"
In November, 1870, l was in Europe, but
l sent a printed copy Of the dsmning evil
dence, On which the receiver was appoint
ed, with my own letter, to G. c. Wash
burne, to be read by members and Sena-
tors.
There was no Outcry Of indignation. The
bill was passed, and l have quietly attend
ed to my " bu iness since, believing that
to be the wisest plan, and only taking the
liberty of advising French friends as TO
their legal rights, and urging them not to
sacrifice their just claims.
1t is probable that you have exposed a
scandal which will again bring the Ameri-
can name into disrepute. The tarnish
upon national reputation, the unjust dis
credit thrown upon all American securities
by the frauds committed in 1870 in Paris,
are not understood OF appreciated in their
gravity here.
In striking at the core Of corruption, and
laying il all bare under a Congressional in
quiry, you will find me prepared to give
every aid in my power 10 vindicate Ameri-
can honor, and to place upon those who
deserve il q just condemnation.
Gen. Fremont will have the opportunity
to speak out, and to explain away, if pos
Sible, the dark clouds which have e~nvelOp-
ed him. And for one, 1 have charity
enough patiently to hear him, and to hope
that he may have the power to palliate his
share N the wrong doing.
Very respectfully,
BLANTON DUNCAN.

A FIERCE TELEGRAPHIC WAR.


New York Correspondence Of the Bait more
American.
The warfare now about commencing
between the powerful combination
known as the Western Union and the
Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Compa-
ny, represented principally by Jay
Gould, is of real importance to the
country at large yet it probably will
not excite half the interest that the
Brooklyn trial has done, because there
are few personal and social elements
mixed up with it. All that the public
cares to know is whether the final re-
suit viii cheaper telegraphy, and
whichever method does will probably
WIN the suffrage. In the meantime,
the young opposition have succeeded
IN getting possession Of the Erie,
pennsylvania aud Baltimore and Ohio
roads and their connections, and as
these roads own the poles along their
routes, they can exclude the wires Of
the Western Union, and it is under
stood they viii.
They have also secured the control of
the new inventions, by the use of which
~telegraPhy Is TO be enormously reduced
IN cost. Among these are the American
automatic instruments, WheatstOne's
English automatic machine, and, owing
to a misunderstanding which has arisen
with the Western Union, the most i'm.
portant Of all-the celebrated quadru-
pleZ invention which sends at one time
TWO messages each way upon one wire,
and which received high praise from
Mr.. William Orion, the President of
the Western Union, IN his last report.
1t Is especially interesting to press
people to know that the Associated
Press monopoly is at last threatened
IN a manner that looks ike business.
There is shortly TO be a meeting called
an Cleveland or Cincinnati by Nh. Me-
dill, of the Chicago Tribune, for the
purpose of forming a National Press
Association, which VIII place the great
papers Of other cities on an independ-
ent footing WITH regard TO news. and
save them the annoyance and humiha-
ton Of having it peddled out to them
from New York.
