The Chamber Of Commerce yesterday adopted a
resolution looking to the Importance OF sounding tho
Atlantic in order to find further facilities for laying
lines of telegraph cable directly connecting our coast
with the western coast Of France and that OF Southern
Europe. The Government is petitioned to employ
tho navy for tho purpose. In the discussion ensuing
it was stated that one such line might be established
from Cape Cod or Montauk Point, to Brest, at cost
not greater than $6OOO,0OO. The project, apart
from its commercial Importance, has value in view Of
any possible difficulty with Great Britain, and s sue

House is composed Of representatives of the
people and not of delegates from the tele.

will bear in mind this fundamental maxim
while investigating the structure and operations
of the enormous monopolies which now control the
telegraph wires throughout the United States. From
al inquiry proceeding this theory and nelligenty
pursued We cannot doubt that the patrons of the te
graph will derive great benefit; and we, being among
the largest of those patrons shall watch with interest
the progress Of the investigation. The companies on
the one side and the public the other ought to be
