The increased cost of line thus constructed fro,
its greater permanence, win be fully eompensared by
the accuracy and certainty of its operation
IL may be suggested that line is already In ons

In the first place, If the local business of cbrno,s

that large increase of patronage would be the result,
and the wires would be probably employed.
But aside from this II is claimed that the ronnsc-

the United States together with the great popularity
of the House lines generally and the superiority Of
the letter printing tele graph the system now
used on the route in question: cannot be successfully
contested.
1t is necessary state in explanation of the above
assertion, that while the House system prints It's meg

by the letter printing telegraph, manipulation
of the operator prints the required letter the dis

1t therefore does require any further argument
to prove that the result accomplished by the inge-
nious system of House, of priatfRg erery message in
Roman letters by telegraph machinery and with the
plainest OF type, not TO require either baRscri
bling or transidting gives to that system great and
undeniable advantages all Others now in use,
provided, this result can be correctly obtained
and with greater certainty and dispatch than by any
other system.

This man testified, at the close of the examination

against Mr. BERNARD his taking out the works from

watch would make no difference; for he would not
