THE CENTRE REPORTER] FRED KURTZ, :. Editor, Centre HALL, PA., March, 12,84. M'CARTY REPLIES TO WISE. Comparing Him to Fob Acres, and Calling Him a FPoltroon, Ricauoxn, Va., March 7.~The excitement over the anticipated fight between Congress man John 8. Wise and Capt. W. Page Mo Carty has been wrought to fever heat by the publication in The State of the follow. ing card fromi McCarty: : Rionmosng Va,, Mafoh § 1854. To the Editor of The Pea There isa card in Th Whig this wiprning from Mr. John 8. Wise, the object of which seems to be an explanation why be did not challenge me in answer to an article charging him with being a = “sub- orncd witness against. bis sfate,” and the alleged reason is that he bas given up duelling. If he "had rested his case with that statomont there might have been a claim to dignity in his plea, but when he calls me Sir Lucins O'Prigger I must say that the comparison could have ne other foundation than his own likness to -BOb ‘Acres, whose reform as a duellist only oedurred in the face of an adversary whom his excited faney ex- aogerated, just as Mr, Wike ‘does me. Mr. Wise has nustaken ridicule for what he Is pleased to term’ ‘abuse, for { -eertainly treated his exploits as a stump speaksr oo the witness stand only in the light of the facts, referring rather to his intentions than to any barm that his Bearsay testimony eonull do. Inuocuous by his over-zgal Against his stato, and satirized by his doubtful posi- tion in n contested saat in congress, perhaps he will farther sigoalize his reform Ly treat- ing the conntry to the partiealars of his coo- tent with Mr Massey, in which, during the taking of the evidence, this suddeniy reformed hero of of thirteen duels oun paper slapped the face of a gray haired preacher. This would ba a good plece of testimony {after ho had changed she record) to pad apon the bloody shirt jssge, and, artistically ground ‘out by the sonnmitise, might set the precedent for introducing the blood curdling picture be has drawn of me. As to his Ypay- ing profession,” this is the first that has been hoard of it: and when ho makes money the standard of respectability people will naturally inqure if it came by work, The people who knew us both may judge of the comparative civilization of the two mes, and ony others who are interested in Mr Wiad literary compositions are welcome to his autobiography and bis interesting por trait of himself, which may do for a family picture to hang in the kitchen where he ro- coives colored statesmen. Mr. Wise says that | would be glad to get an opportunity “for some gentleman to kill Lim" (me). When 1 reach this point I should cer- tainly not apply to Mr. Wise, and for two renee: First, his unsupportad testimony, which he himsslf does pot believe, is insuf- ficient to establish Bim ag a { sec ond, the bero of thirtesn bloodless paper duels is not the person one would naturally seek todo the job. Mr. Wise's testimony is good only against bimsell, as. an undeniable woof that be is a ridiculous little poitroon and an ass, who, not bemg sble to wear the ions skin, fs fit for just what he lithe trick mule in Sherman's Danville circus . Pave NeCanty. Capt. McCarty's friends think ha bas downed Wise by this card. They claim that it4 dignified tong and fresdom from gross personalities is in striking contrast to Mr. Wise's vituperative language. allusion to Wike's ‘‘payiog profession” means that Wise is living on kis wife's neney, baving none of bis own.

The Word Monopoly Misapplied The Struggle of the Associated Press to Build Up its Basiness, —————— W ismrwaTON, March 8,—Hon. Wm. Henry Smith, of New York, was expected to appes befor the senate commsittes on post oflices and’ post roads, on bolialt of the Asso- Uated of It was the of the committe that Mr. Smith should appear immediately after Me. Swineford, who gave. his testimony yustes- day. Mr. Bmith informed Chairman Hill for him to appear on Thursday, owing to an unexpected committee meeting of the Asso- ciated Press having been called for that day. It is now learnel that the “important come mittes meeting” was for tho purpose of dis cussing the recent testimony given before the post office committee by Mr. Walter Pp. Phillips, genera! manager of tha United Press association. Bince Tuesday an envoy from General Agent Bmith bas Leen en- deavoring to make arrangements to have the committee mest at 11 A. 3. far the purpoge of bearing him, but the answer to the ques tion was that it would be inconvenieut to do so, and as the gaitieman would be detainad but a short time it would bo entirely us- necessary to call 8 meeting at so early an hour, Shortly after twelve o'clock Mr. Smith appearel before the commilles, four mem- bers of which were present. When the coin- mittee was called to order, Mr. Bmith pro- eceded to read from manuscript a staloment in refutation of all evidence heratofore given tending to show that the Associated Prose is a monopoly, “The word monopoly in ques tion, with the Associated Press,” sall Mr. SBniith, “is due to misinformation. Tianews of the sssociation is free to all who dedre it The goverment,” he continued, ‘charges rich and poor alike for postage, while tbe Associate] Press discriminates in favor of the poorer papers.” He tcok up the testi- mony recently given by Mr. Walkor IL Phil- lips, general manager of the United Press, and proceeded to deny the statements made therein seriatim, It was untrue that it cost the United Press as ouch to serve iis one paper in Chicago as it d 4 the Associated Press fo serve ils seven pers. “Exclusivencss, as far as a city ls oon cerned,” romarked Mr. Smith, “is nol recng- nized by the Associated Press” : Ho referred to the long struggle of the Associated Press in building up its business, and asked if it was pow the intention of the committes to swoop it sll away. In his opin- fon, if uniform rates wera established, the larger papers would be benefitte! and. those of the second class would be killed off, At the conclusion of his preparcd statement, Mr. Bmith submitted coniracts between the Associated Press and Western Union Tele graph company, with the understanding that at present they should be kept out of the record and pot made public. Alter ex- amining the documents Chairman Hill said; *“Thege papers are pot the original contracts, but purport to be copies thersol. There is nothing to show that they are copies.” Mr. Smith said he was the custinlian of contracts and would certify that the papery submitted to the committee were true copies, They were then received By Mr. Hill<80o far vs news farnidied by you to the entire country is concerned it is restricted to (be demands of the parties row receiving the news, is it not! A. They have the right to elect whether they will admit new partners or not. No reasonable application is refused There aré a great many foolish people who want to start newspapers. In answer to Mr. Wilson Mr. Smith said that the Associated Press had never sent out incorrect news. Me. Wikon pressed his questions to show that the Associatinted Presa might send out dispatches which were incorrect, Mr. Smith expected that the Associated Press could pot mislead the public, becanse it represented all classes of papers in every community, hencs concerted getion with a view to misrepresentation of facts was abso- lately impossible An sxtended colloquy took place letween Senator Wilson asd Mr. Smith on the sub- ject of the constitutional right of the govern. ment to interfere with private business, Mr. Wikon took the ground that if he bought a newspaper containing the Asso ciated Press dispatches that he owned that paper and its contents, and could do with 1 as ho saw fit Mr. Smith thought that he could ue it for his personal use, but could not reproduce it.
