THAT SERIOUS CHI ARGE,
Brought by the Intenigencer Against the
Chief of Police.


Chief of Police.
In Yesterdays issue of the Intelligencer,
under display head, there appeared an ar.
ticle third of a column long, the substance
of which was that Chief of Police Porter
Smith had visited Clara Moss bagnio on
Eoff street, south of Eighteenth, Saturday
evening, and had remained in the HOUSE. while
a fight was going on on the sidewalk between
{, ur young bloods who had Just left the
house, and Edward Frtz, an employee Of War.
ren's oil refinery, who lives near by. Mr..
Fritz had called for help but the Captain had
paid no attention to the cry aud after the
row was over came out and walked away.
The inference to be drawn ffom the article
was that the Captain had entered the Moss
house on some other errand than an official
one, and had deliberately ignored the fuss
on the sidewalk.
A REGISTER reporter met Capt. Smith
Yesterday afternoon and asked for an ex.
PLANTATION of his presence in the house. The
Chief said:
About nine o'clock Saturday evening l
went to Clara Moss house on an Official
errsnd, being engaged in looking up party
charged with an intrsction of q city ordi-
nance. While en- route to the house, and
when near the engine house, / met an &C
uuaintance and asked him to 90 with me-.
he declined and went on alone, being in
formed few steps, further on, however, that
row had occurred at Moss. / went
in the house from the 'front.' and
after ascertsining that my man was not
there, asked if there had been q fight about
the place. Some Of the inmates said there
was a row across the street. saw nothing
wrong and heard no trouble myself When
/ came out Mr.. Fritz, think, was sitting
on his steps. he was not there when /
went in. he said nothing about q fight,
and / walked on down the street, in search
of Officer Burns."

about at the time he alleged in the Iutelli-
gencer article. he bore no marks of rough

They will probably disclaim this, but if it was
not, why did they not send reporter to
me and ascertain my side Of the story2 /
suppose, though, the version Of Mr.. Fritz,
damaging my character and injurying my
reputation as citizen, was all they desired
to know. Any explanation would not have
suited their purposes. The action of the
paper was malicious and unfair to the last
degree, and was unworthy of decent jour

The War of the Telephone Com
DanieS.

DaHicSs
The fight that has been opened at the
Patent Office in Washington 10 have the
Bell telephone patent declared invalid
promises to be Of great interest. 1t is
claimed by number of telephone com
panies, who are now prevented from put
ting their telephones in use because of
the Bell patent, that the Bell patent is
invalid because it was obtained by false
statements. The companies opposed to
the Bell company insist that they can
show that speech had been transmitted
by means Of electricity before Bell
secured his patent. If they can do this
it is probable that they win be granted
the privilege of instituting suit in the
name OF the United States to have the
Bell patent set aside.
One of the affidavits that have been
filed since the suit began contains the
statement that few days before Bell APP
piled for a patent, a cayeat for patent
for a speaking telephoRegwas flsd 10y a
man named Gray, and that the contents
of this caveat were made known to Bell by
an employee OF the Patent Office. 1t is
further stated in the affidavit that Bell
made use of the information thus fur
nisned him, and succeeded in getting his
patent before Gray's application was con-
sidered.
1t can be seen from this brief statement
that it is probable that a very strong
prln,a fdcte case will be made out against
the Bell Company. II it can be shown
that the telephone had been invented prior
to Bells application for a patent, or that
Bell stole ideas from Gray's application
that aided him In perfecting his inven-
tion, the Secretary of the Interior will
that there is reason for thinking that the
Bell patent ought to be declared invalid,
and SUIT will at once be begun to accom-
plish that object.
OF course the public is very deeply In
terested in this matter. The Bell COM
pany is a monopoly, and charges what it
pleases for the use of its telephones. If
the Bell patent is set aside there will at
once be great competition among the diff
ent telephone companies. Telephones
are now almost a necessity, and what the
public wants is better telephones at less
cost.
II permission is granted to begin a suit
against the Bell company in the United
states courts there will doubtless be viii
messed very remarkable legal contest.
The Bell company is backed up by the
! Western Union company. The abest law
yers will be employed and no expense
spared 70 save the Bell patent On the other
hand the prize for which the cOntestne
companies are fighting is so great thai
they will attain success, II success Is pos
! sible.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. NOVEMBER "A, 1885,

The Talk of Gov. Hill for President
The mention OF Gov. Hill, OF New York,
by some Democratic journals for the
! Presidency in 1888 has no special signih-
canoe. There was, OF course, great deal
OF enthusiasm over his victory in New
York, and this enthusiasm found vent in
various ways, one OF which was in naming
him as the next Democratic Presidential
candidate.
1t is not al all impossible that he Will
be the next Democratic candidate for
President, but the chances are that he
will not. In the late campaign he showed
himself an excellent political manager,
and there is no doubt that he Is man Of
a great deal more than ordinary ability.
The party, however, will hardly look to
New York for a candidate in 1888 unless
it should be evident that the wisest thing
that the party could do would be TO re-
nominate MIR. Cleye and. It's much more
probable that he will be renOminated than
that Gov. Hill will be nominated.
While there appears TO be belief that
Mr.. Cleveland is committed against a
second term, there is not much reason to
doubt that he would be willing to yield
mis- views on that point at the demand OF
his party. While he has not succeeded in
giving satisfaction to the entire party, his
course is heartily approved by the
great bulk of it. What little hostility
there is to him Will, in all proba-
biIlly, have disappeared before the end
Of his term is reached. He is acting APP
parently for the best interests OF the
country in all matters with which he has
to deal, and his honesty and sincerity are
certain to be generally appreciated before
his term has expired.
IL, however, it shall be deemed advis-
able not to nominate Mr.. Cleveland, there
are a good many who stand much better
chance or getting the nomination than
Gov. Hill does. There are several very
eminent statesmen who have for years
been waiting for a Presidential nominal
ton, and they will not tamely submit a
second time to the nomination OF a candi-
date who has done so little for the party
as scarcely to be known beyond the bor-
ders of his State.

Nemesis and Senator sherman.


If the latest reports from Ohio are true
Senator Sherman may begin to lay plans
for the formation Of an electoral commits
sion in that state for the purpose OF maxi
ing himself his own successor. At any
rate the Republicans appear to be thor
oughly alarmed at the outlook, nOtwith-
standing they claim victory gained by
the aid OF their partisan count in C1ncin-
natl. They say that the Democratic SEN
ators from that city have been pro-
videa with certificates Of cleo
ton, and that they will APP
pear at Columbus In January, and be
sworn in by the Democratic
Lieutenant Governor, and as the consti-
tuition makes the Senate the judge Of the
election, qualification and returns of its
own members, that body will be able 10
ignore the decision OF the Circuit Court,
and to compel the Republican claimants
to file contests in the usual form and
abide the usual delay in deciding such
m alters. This would probably place it
within the power of the Democrats to
secure the defeat of Sherman, and posi-
bly, TO elect Democrat as his successor.
Some Of the Democratic papers of that
State are confirming the fears of the Re-
publicans by admitting it to be possible
that SUCH "a move is likely to be made by
the Democrats. If they are merely guy
ing the Repu blicans they are succeeding
admirably, nd if such move is really
contemplated the fears Of the Republicans
are not uucalled for. They are said to be
devisiug plans to circumvent what they
call the conspiracy" but they have not
yet suggested an electoral commission.
They are probably holding that plan in
reserve for real service, under the advice
of sherman and Hayes, and, Of course,
they can count on the counsel and assist
ance of ex.Goys Noyes, Foster and many
others of the manipulating statesmen
OF 1876.
1t has already been suggested that the
Democratic Senators from Cincinnati
should be seated, all the Republican Sena-
tors should withdraw and organize a
rump Senate, and claim for it recognition
by the House as well as by the Governor.
There is no State in which it would be
more appropriate for the scenes of the
Legislative muddles Of Louisiana and
south Carolina to be re enacted than in
Ohio, and there is no more appropriate
person to be deeply interested in such
muddle than Senator Sherman.
There is very general impression that
Nemesis is right after Senator sherman,
and that she Will in all probability over
take him.
