Russia - New Telegraph Route "a
America

A Warsaw journal announces that the plan
for telegraph line between Russia and
America has been approved and signed by
the Car. The Russian Government un-
dertakes to complete the line as far as Nico-
lajeWsk, the remaining portion from Nico-
lajewsk to San Francisco being at the charge
Of the American company. The capital OF
the latter amounts to SlO, 900, 900, and bonds
representing $S,434, 600 have already been
issued It Is intended that this route shall
be finished in dye years.
We have the highest authority for saying
that the American company propose to have
their line in working order in two years.

"There are in the United States large
body of men, their numbers increasing as we
move southwark, who are ~ ignorant and a.
'uneducsted as the Irish Catholics. But they
have no common religious faith, nor does the
confessional put them and their secrets in the
power of any man or any priesthood. There
are four millions Of them almost the exact
number that there are q catholics ell black,
al loyal, and nearly al Protestant. Like
the Irish, they reason through their feelings /;
unlike the Irish, they show a great desire
and aptitude for intellectual irnproyement.-
They are unlike the Catholic Irish, in icing
Doodle. afeotionase and gsa:is. Their love OF
music, their willing obedience, their religious
aspirations are valuable characteristics. In
persistency of labor, for stern and rugged
work. the Irish are superior; for the more
beautiful quality OF humanity, the blacks
But the christian especially notes the facts
that the Irish are all Catholic. all hostile to
the bible, all haters of Professionalism, while
the blacks have an intense desire to read the
word of God, are nearly all Protestant, and
all followers OF him who came to let the op-
pressed 20 free.
Snow, if 1t is desirable to meet the positive
Catholic element in politics or religion by
one equally positive in another direcuon, we
have but TO clothe the black with the same
white. True, the black il uncultivated and
ignorant. but so is the Irish.
I'm all our political debates on this ques
ton we remember of no argument against a
black voter that is not equally averse to an
Irish one. And the black voter has these
advantages, his instincts are on the side Of
freedom and of Protes antism, he is more sus-
ceptible of cultivation, and he 10 not the tool
of priests or laymen. The gift of franchise to
the black insurss the psrperuity of free edu
cation and religion in our land. Give the
black man a vote, and every southern state
will be loyal. every northern state true to
freedom. Refuse him the franchise. and the
rebellion will not be ended with the genera
tion which gave it birth"
Well all we have to say in conclusion is,
thae if the negro is to control our govern
ment, politics. morals and religion, at the in
SEPARATION of a sect of northern radicals, the
sooner all white men leave the territory of
the Union the better. 1t will not be a fit
country for white christian to live in. But
as the whites largely outnumber the radicals
and their black allies, and are proverbially
tubborn, they may, if pushed too far, com
pei an emigration, instead of emigrating
