Mr.. CoHKLING rep, N. Y. said hs would gladly
have voted for Ihe bill as 1t came from the Senate,
believing that The rates therein were cheaper and
more moderate than the tariff existing on any tele-
prsph line on this any other continent. Tue cor
poTsioIs had ALI the skill and character necessary TO
the enterprise, and opening competition would dam
age if not defeat the object in view. He expressed
surprise at Mr. Burnetts consttu ons objections
tending that this bill had received the sanction of
lsrse majority Of the Senate, In which there are sixty
Presidential candidates.
