The Atlantic Telegraph and the Import
Trade.

The effect Of the Atlantic Telegraph on
trade is now being discussed in all its
pros and cons. We have heard an import
cr argue that it would be injurious to
men in his business, because country ira
ders, he said, would order goods in small
er quantities than they do now, and inn
porters would give smaller orders to manu-
tacturers and the manufacturers would
be guided in like manner as to the iu-
creased or reduced production of theirs,
ana on ali hands small peddli bust
ness would usurp the now existing mod IS
Of trade. The same injurious effect, he
said, followed the introduction Of ocean
steamers Prior to that era the importers
gave large orders to the manufacturers,
calculated for half a years or years con-
sumption and the traders gave large or
dcrs to the importers On the same basis /;
and business was done on a wholesale
scale When the fast steamers came into
vogue, the small traders commenced to
lay in goods for two or three months only,
and the importer was, consequently, re-
stricted to his orders, aud the manutactu-
rcr in his production. This is claimed to
be considerable injury to the trade, and
it is to be presumed that when the time
between the order and the delivery of the
goods is reduced to one half of what it has
been the evil will increase to a proportion
at extent.
There is some sense in the argument,
mixed, however, with a good deal of fall
lacy. If business be done hcnceforth on
smaller scale it will also be done on a safer
one The aggregate amount, however, will
be as large If trader lays in onl,
months stock, he will pay for it in cash
or in notes at ten or fifteen days 1t will
bring into play the system of "short
credits and long friends" Besides, it
will have the effect of placing men of
small capital on something like an eouali.
ty with rich and long established FIRMS
The smaller the orders the smaller the
risks, and the less capital Cor the business |
So that, even to the importers, the Allan.
tic telegraph will prove blessing rather
han a curse.-Nc,o York Horold

Reply TO "II" No. 4.

II was expected that II" would at
tempt, in the last Free Press, to answer
some of the questions that | have put to
him; but instead Of that be treats his
readers to more insipid string of sophis-
try, if possible, than any of his previous
productions. Unjust be admitted, however,
that the article is remarkable for one thing;
and that is the number of false positions and
false conclusions crowded into so short a
space 1t would require altogether too much
time and space to notice them all and it is
wholly unnecessary 70 do so, as the fala-
cies arc, most Of them, SO potent as to be
open to the duliest comprehension, shall

in 80 doing, | shall quote literally from

The Tribune cross examines the little
giant:
Is it a fact, that meeting Of Anti
Lccompton Democrats vas held It the
residence OF Senator Brodcrick on the
Sunday night previous to the passage of
the English bill, at which Col Forney
was present? Is it fact that at that
meeting a general disposition was mani
tested to support the English substitute,
and that Sam. Cox of Ohio, and others
left the meeting under the impression that
such would be the final conclusion, going
direct to the White House and giving in
their adhesion to the President! Is it a.
fact that after Senator Douglas and all the
rest Of meeting, except Senator Broderick,
had signficd that they would accept the
English substitute, Col. Forney slightly
protesting, that the California Senator
arose to his feet and said in substance -
" Gentlemen, you can vote for the Eng.
lish substitute if you will; but should
You do so, as sure as there is God above,
1 will denounce you upon the floor of the
Senate for having deserted and sold out to
the Administration And is it fact
that this resolUte conduct of Senator Rrod-
erick alone induced Mr. Douglas and the
remaining corporal's guard, to oppose the
English substitute
These questions are asked aiysedly.-

The Nose.

While others praise the lips or eye
And call them wondrous fair,
III read your thoughts upon your more
And find true beauty there.
By that ri learn what talents be
Concealed within the mind
If formed for avaricc or hate,
Or if to bless mankind.
The brush Of the artist, the genius OF
the poet. the magic of eloquence, and the
inspiration Of minstrelsy have been en-
ployed in proolaiming what effect brow,
lips, hair, eyes, &c have in heightening
the charms of the countenance, aad the
requisites of each for claim to beauty
homage. The keen scrutiny Of the phys
iogomist has ascertained the character and
disposition Of an individual by the shape
Of the head; position, size and color Of
the eye and ears; length of chin, and
heighth Of forehead; but who ever tho
of looking at the nose to determine aught
Of this. This projection u on the human
countcnance is treated much like the over
hanging cliffs of Mt. Washington. No
traveller passes without seeing them. All
gaze upon them with emotions Of wonder,
admiration or fear, yet, but few consider
them as more than mere natural consc-
quences asking not gcologically their ma
ture, or their being upon the age, charac-
ter, or decay of the mountains. As with
those cliffs so with the nose. a world of
meaning lies within its scanty or ample
dimensions. The large nose eviuces great
persistcncy Of effort, and mind of gigan-
tic proportions, in which Genius dispalays
itself at every revealing of the soul. In
short such persons were destined to gov
ern nations and decide the fate Of empires.
The pug nose is indicative OF a great de-
gree of sympathy, but a total lack of ener-
gy-ability Of an inferior order, and
mind forever buried with trifes.
A hooked or crooked nose denotes an
excellent disposition, great love of fun,
capacity for keeping a stock on hand, and
readiness in dealing it out The thin
peaked nose denotes pryiug disposition,
with but little inclination for scientific or
literary pursuits. Such are seldom brill
liant scholars, profound philosophers or
eminent statesmen. Thus not only does
the nose perform its Office as an organ of
the most important of the senses, but it
reveals in its very outline the character Of
the possessor. y. 4. 4.

THE GREAT FALLS ADVERTISEMENT CASE

The gentleman who furnished the substance Of the
following article requests to say that he desires
it to be stated that the object on the part of
the representatives of the government in refus-
ing TO agree to vacation of the verdict by
consent was to have a decision OF the Judge for
the guidance of future jury--if there be future
iury-and was 30 avowed to be by the counsel.
And it should be more distinctly stated that the
governments counsel maintained that the Virginia
shore above the Falls had any riparian rghts
and that the compact of 1856 did not confer such
rights:
The argument of this case was brought to close yes
teraythree lawyers having discussed il each side.
The discussion said to have been very able one
motion by the United States to set aside the verdict of
the jury in August las jury called by itself to value
the property proposed to be TAKEN whether land or ma
terials, for the aqueduct.
The exceptions very numerous but were only in
sisted upon far they applied to some hafdozen
points.
The first question was whether the legislature of
Maryland responding to an application OF the federal
government for leave to purchase and hold property in
the State and for nothing more had really by design
accident Made donation OF the waters and water pow
Of the Potomac river TO the United States for the
Of the aqueduct.
3D. Whether the legislature of Maryland possessed the
power convey legally to the United States the author
ty to condemn within Maryland any private property for
public uses without the consent and against the protest
of the individual propretortha s for objects and in
cases not already contemplated and provided for in the
constitution
Sd Whether a great watcr-power of hundred feet
fall can be held by individual company in state
of present dsuse without being subject to be taken for
public use and taken without any compensation at ALL
or at compensation calculated by its actual improve
ment and productveness in state of total dsuse
4th. Whether by the compact of 1885 between Mary
land and Virginia the Virginia shore of the Potomac
river Is deprived OF those riparian rights that attach to
both shores of all other rivers lying within the ursdic
ton any of the States and that in consequence, vr

It'll. Whether the OF the Virginia side Of the
Great Falls, which only the water power was,
ever can be- used Tor manufacturing purposes, and on
which il has been continuously used for than
enty years have been a6 and still are tesasses.
IL held by the company that the title both the
shores of the river above the head to below the
foot OF the fall belonged to said company except small
strip side utterly impraccbe any purpose of
improvement That the subject of its title had
been by the submitted TO learned and able
counsel who had perfectly conourred in ponouncng the
without flaw shadow Of doubt
IL contended that the title conceded by the
government in its of appointing the lawyers who
gave that opinion Immediately afterwards, to attend
counsel for the government TO the matter Of valuation
IL was claimed that the company were owners of the
property for twenty before the aqueuct
heard of and that therefore, the statements in the
newspapers about surprise speculation The government, &c
silly and idle specuations base and infamous
tempts to injure and prejudice private rights.
The judge takes the papers with him for the purpose of
thorough Investigation Of the between this and the
next spring term, wien he will probably his
opinion and decision II he rejects the verdict any
ground then there must be another jury for the water
be taken but the valuation Of jury of the
county of Montgomery.
1t also stated and pro-en, or admitted that inn
medatey after the nqusion in August last the agent
of the company offered verbally and in writing the
counsel of the government and the Secretary of War
to set the verdict aside by which they declined
doing.
The above account of the issues made at Rockville
obtain from OF the counsel in the case.
The private parties shown have persstentIy pc
ttioned from the of the work and before
it, to have the question settled by regular condemna
tion-by arbitration negotiation.
1t is sincerely be hoped that the upsho Of this last
trial may not be further law proceedings under the ope
ration OF writ Of injunction that may postpone the
completion of the water works.

ARIZONA.

The bill for the organization of the Territory Of
Arizona comes up special order of the day in
the Senate on Monday. We trust it may receive the
immediate attention it deserves. 1t will be recol-
lected that last session the delegate from New Mex
ico Mr.. 0tero, while admitting the necessity of a
territorial government for Arizona, differed with
Mr. Mowry, the delegate from Arizona, the
question OF the northern boundary, upon the ground
that he not informed to the wishes of the peo-
pie of the Rio Grande. During the recess of Con-
gress, Mr.. otero has been called upon by the unapi-
voice of the people of the Rio Grande to unite
his cxertions with those of their delegate, Mr..
Mowry, to procure for them separate territorial
government Responding to this call upon him by
the people, we learn that the delegate from New
Mexico has Withdrawn he objections he urged last
session, and is acting in concert with the dele
gate from Arizona. Tie proposed Territory is adj
mitted to be of the most valuable of our posses
sions, already numbers a population of more than
10000 souls, and is attracting rapidly large and
good emigration The proposition to organize the
Territory is simply this to afford protection to our
people--to protect the overland mail daily threat
ened-and to restore upon our Mexican frontier the
prestige of the American name sadly furnished du-

THE TARIFF -IoGAL AND INDIVIDUAL INTER

II is not much to the credit of the American peo

perience, they are unable to adjust judicous reve

spirit Of party At least the principles upon which
their tariff laws should be enacted ought long ere
this to have been deanitiyely settled. y may, per-
haps, be said that they have finally and forever
condemned the whole doctrines Of special protection
that they have decided that they will not, in adjust
nc system of revenue laws, discriminate in favor
of this or that branch of industry. But, after all,
there is too much controversy the subject there
are too many conflicting and partisan opinions which
serve to entangle the whole matter. How is il so

collection public revenues in aid OF the govern
ment There is not one single element Of personal
interest in the whole affair. II is purely public
question in theory and If it were in practice
there would be no dispute about it. Just here is
where the shoe pnches. II is found next to impos-
sible in half the laws enacted by Congress to shut
out individual interests. The public body is abso-
