FRIDAY MORNING. JAN. %. 1881.

Inc GtoCe-Me IeAgrdph--dnd TIE Hero.
Tie u. States Telegraph has almost given up
ne ghost, in anticipation of that catastrophe which
~ generally supposed to be at hanJ-s suppression
namely, by the ''Globe'-a paper established since
the ting of Congress. without prospectus, or pre-
vious subscriber we presumcl-a strange fact, which
speaks volumes and denotes the reliance of ito oun-
ders upon power and lis promises. As the Globe
goes up, the Telegraph goes down. Its columns
nave presented during this win err the most rema rka-
Bile contrast with the hcctorng and domineernp
character it exhibited during the days of its "oalmy
state Duf-the conceted and vuublc Duff has
no longer word TO throw at dog The Cuckoo
no'e OF the Coalition tho slang of "bargain in
ttisue and cutrupion''-thc praises of the Hero,
and (strnngest of ai!) even abuse of Henry Clay
have ceased to adorn It's columns and intoAica,c the
zeal of Jacksonsm. The harp of this sweet bard Of
scurrIiy, mendacity ami Western Jacksonisin, lior

ginla.) is hung upon the willows. The Globe is now
the go-lor. that combines Jscksnnism " itn Van Bu.
renism-- and hroug the Globe the Hero is now sup
posed to intimate his wishes or declare his will
supposed by many people, to be one and the same
thing
Whatever the cause, i; IS plain that the Telegraph
is no longer power-whcthcr because its ARROGANCE
and ndeccncy had become intolcraLla to it's ov,r
irends--or that it suffers the depression which nor
iains to whatever is Calhoun, under the now admitted
ascendancy OF the northern plane;-or from both
uniteG-wc know not the cause, but the effect is OH
vlous and palpable. The Telegraph siurn of patron
age, must soon join the Washington Rcpublca, in
lis almost torgo ten grave and this seems to be fore
seen and permitted, manifested in the a,tenpt so;d
to be making, of providing for Duff a post. which
