The Telegraph Monopoly.

! 1t is to the public interest that the i'll in
troducrd into the Senate 10y Mr.. Lansing. ON
the subject of telegraphins, lie passed. Aud
the sooner the better. The hill proposes we
believe, to amend the Act of former legis-
lature. authorizing the construction Of a tel@-
graph line from San Francisco to Los Ange-
les, so as to prevent any such monopoly Of
the matter passing over the wires rs that
which now exists in favor fthe Bulletin and
the Union. As the matter now stands, these
two papers have the exclusive benefit of the
news 10y the Overland mail. which arrives at
the Firebaugh Station and is thence tele-
grnphed on the line chartered ly the Act
above alluded to. tits undoubtedly in the
power of the legislature to amend its own
Act so as to forbid this Kind nf monopoly.
and that it ought to do 50 is the general judg
ment of the reading public. Not to do so is
to lrgislate for the particular benefit of two
papers and against all others; and such legis-
htion is contrary to all decency. Telegraph
companies are chartered for the common
benefit. If they are not for the common
benefit, they should not be suffered To exist
The manner in which the present monopo-
y affects the reading ublic Of Marysville is
readily appreciated. Hitherto. we have
given lengthy dispatches on every arrival Of
the Overland mil. twelve or fourteen hours
in advance Of the papers below. That is to
say. these dispatches appeared in the DAILY
DEMocnAr in the morning. and came up in
the afternoon in the Union or other papers.
Now, our readers must wait until the arrival
of the Bulletin and Union (no matter how
long these papers may be delayed) before
they can obtain the Overland news. We are
| ready to pay our cash for the accommodation
Of our renders in this regard, and it is an out
rage upon them and upon us that we are eX-
cluded from the right of doing so. No tele-
graph company in the United States ought
to lie allowed to refuse the der and of any
newspaper to have its dispatches sent, and
sent immediately, upon presentation or as
surance of the quid pro quo
The Till of Mr.. Lansing will allow every
paper in the State to become member of
the Associated Press and receive the benefit
of the general newspaper Dispatch Outside
of this equal and just arrangement, if any pa
per chooses to have special dispatches Of its
own. it can do SO. This is the system all
over the Union where trlcgraphic lines are
established aud there is no reason for any
exception to the rule in Calf rnia.
We have no particular fault to find with n
paper for endeIvorin1 to monopolize news,
hecause it is difficult for poor human nature.
and especially such very poor human nature
as belongs to some folks. to resist the tempta-
ton of milking all the money that comes
floating along but we do very decidedly OBJ
ject to the Legislature of sovereign States
lending itself to the extension Of special priyi-
eges to n favored few as against the great
bulk and mass of the population.

Tom Paine.

The anniversary of the birthday of Tom
Paine will lie celebrated 10y select few, in
various portions of the United States, to-
morrow. Some of the celehrators honor
him for the part which he took in the great
drama of the Revolution, and others for hi
attacks upon Christianity. Many other per
sons refuse To join in these celebrations al
! all for the reason that the design of them
is not defined with sufficient distinetness, and,
while they would love to do honor to the
memory of the patriot and the friend of
liberty. they would not be willing to com-
promise their Christian views aud feelings
10y seeming to respect the scolfer and the in
hdel. Some Of these celebrations are made
the occasion solely of CALCULATIONS for the
gift of republican liberty and praises Of the
man who contributed 81 largely to the cause
Of American independence. Others of them
are devoted to ribuld attacks upon the Christ
ian religion and to studied insults to those
who profess it,
The fact is Tom Paine will always awaken
a divided feeling in the hearts Of the Ameri-
can people. As II friend of American liberty.
