THE SUBMARINE TELEGEArn.-A recent letter
from Washington speaks as follows upon this sub
ject
The commitment Of the submarine telegraph bill
to the Committee on Post-Oices is regarded as Tir-
tlal defeat Of the measure The project is almost
universally regarded one in which the United
States would be the gamer by letting it alone.
The Government is just opening its eyes to the
alarming fact that it will really have control
tue line, whatever guarantee may be given to it by
the submarine company for there are several private
telegraph companies between our Government and
the submarine company; companies which have
their charters from the Colonial Government, and
which, therefore, would be entirely beyond the con-
troll of either the Government OF the United States or
that of Great Britain and which could defeat, at any
moment, any guarantee the submarine company
would be disposed to give.
The company could also speculate in the news sent
over their line, sell out the monopoly Of the wires
to others, as the Halifax company has done to the
Associated Press, and thus be able to break down
every merchant and business man in the United
States. The impression seems to be that our Govern.
meut should not give any aid to any company, unless
it is one continuous consolidated company, from Lon
don to Washington City, or some other city OF the
Unithe States within the control OF the United States
| Government, where the latter wOnld have the power
| to enforce the obligation which the company should
enter into with our Government, both for the protec
ton Of our national and our business Interests.

DARING ATTEMPT AT ADDICTION One evening,
week before last, two men in sleigh stopped on
Mason street, Boston, and alighting threw cloak
over the head of young lady who was passing, and
endeavored to force her into the sleigh. The villains
were near accomplishing their object and would have
succeeded without doubt, but for the intervention of
two members of the Ravel troupe, one of whom was
Mon. Paul Brilliant, on their way to the theater.
The theatrical gentlemen promptly interfered, and
rescued the young lady, who swooned away. The
abductors sprang into the sleigh and drove off in
fast gait, and the lady taken by her to
the theater by the stage entrance where she received
much sympathy from those present
