WHO SENDS THE TE1EaRAMsp


In these days, when so much is said
about "lying dispatches" it may be in
teresting to our readers to know who 1t IS
that complies the Eastern dispatches that
they read every day in the papers. We
are frequently asked that question by our
neighbors, and cannot perhaps give a
more interesting piece of information than
the full explanation of the manner IN
which the thing is managed, which we
extract from the San Francisco Bulletin.
The article was elected by the following
misstatement in Beriah Browns Press:
1.-THE Bulletin says their kilograms are the
same as those of the Associated Press -
including the Democratic papers at the East
From negotiations with the Telegraph COM
pany we know this statement u De untrue
The Associated Press" of California EN-
ploy special correspondent, who Is also the
operator at Chicago, and he reports uhaer
he instructions of his employers. Why has
the Associated Press" given the public M
election returns in detail from Indiana ana
Ohio. and nothing from Pennsylvania when
has not proved 10 be false
To which the Buletm replies as follows:
Although the Press pretends to speak from
persopal knowledge, it is wrong IN every eS-
sential particular. The Chicago correspond
ent of the California Associated PreSs Is not
"the operator at Chicago" and he does not
owe His situation TO us. We do not know
the man personally, nor do We pay him any
wages for his services. We deal directly
with the New York Association, and that
Association employs the Chicago correspond:
emit. whose duties are TO receive and send
Western and Pacific coast news from Chicago
TO New York, and to receive, condense and
then send Eastern news from Chicago to
California; and all the news he sends to us
is received by him from the different agents
Of the New York Association. In every re-
spect he is the agent rf the New York press,
land he reports under the instructions OF
his EMPLOYERS, among whom are SUCH
Mcclellan Journals as the Herald, World,
Neps and Express, as well as all the other
respectable daily papers Of that city. IT the
agents of such antagoniStic newspapers were
not strictly impartial in gathering political
news, they would of course lose their situa-
tons, and hence they are, from the necesSi-
ties Of their position, the best authority Of
the time II is these impartial agents in
PENNSYLVANIA, Ohio and Indiana, who have
sent, through common agent at Chicago,
all the election returns from those States
that we have published, and there is no
reason 10 doubt that they have sent US the
truth in sufficient detail, and the whole truth
in gross, as fast as the counting OF votes aud
means Of communication rendered practical
BILE. Finally, we have received full returns
from each state, and the fact that they have
gone for the Union BY overwhelming votes
is no longer questioned among tolerably in
telligeut men.
Our readers can now judge of the re-
liability of the news as it reaches the CAL
ifornia papers, the Bulletin. Alta and Sac
ramento Union. We in Nevada are OBJ
lised to wait for the Eastern dispatches
until they are printed in California. The
Enterprise and onion keep reporter at
San Francisco VINO, Immediately on the
publication of the Bulletin, transmits the
dispatches to them for their mornings
issue. We keep reporter at Sacramento
who transmits to US the dispatches which
appear in the Sacramento Union, and are
published by US in the afternoon. Hav-
ing been told thus much about the origin
and disposition OF the daily kilograms,
our readers know as much about it as we
