| Tue PRINCE AND THE Observation-Disclosures are in
dications that the Orange tumult in Canada con
sequent upon the pertinacty of the members of the
lodges will subsde in consequence of the reaction of
| the conservative sentiment of the people of that
province. The feeling in favor of the champions
| Of an organized and secret Professionalism is not
| shared by the Protestant people generally, and a
universal opinion to prevail that it was ex-
tremely discourteous in the organizations to force
| their coureses upon an unwilling guest. The
people do not like to see the Prince turned away,
and think the circumstance reflects upon their repu-
taion for hospitality. This feeling is proving
very effective, and we learn that at Toronto and
other points in the Canadian tour of the Prince,
| the Orangemen have determined on not parading.
These difficulties removed, we suppose the Prince
| will pursue his journey unmolested.
THE PACIFIC TELEGRAPH.-The New York papers
state that measures are now in progress that are al

| Washington between Secretary Cobb and Hiram

| Telegraph Company, and there are strong reasons
for believing that the contract, as advertised by
the Secretary, will be conceded to this COMPANY
1t will be recoected that the telegraph BILL as it
originally passed the Senate, provided for a sub
sidy for ten years of $4,000 to the parties who
should accept the contract. This subsidy was cut
down to 900 in the House, and there were also
| other amendments made to the bill of nature
that caused it to be rejected by certain parties who
| had previously been anxious to obtain it,
