about 5000 majority, all five Republican Coun-

no serious efforts but Gov. Smyth's majority

OCEAN TELRGRAPHs.

We know little beyond what We gather from
the debate 4 short time since in the Senate
on the bill granting the International Ocean
Telegraph Company the right and privilege
o. establish Geographic commune alton between
the United States and .he West Indies After
a protractcd contest recently, IN which Mr.
Chandler stood alone in defense OF the bill,
il was finally recommitted TO the Com
mittee on Commerce, who had a, first. AZ Mr.
Chandler stated, unanimously agreed to report
il. Last week, Mr.. Morrill,, from the same
COMMITTEES. reported the bill again. with other
amendments, still giving the Company exclusive
privileges, but narrowing their geographical
limits and shortening tho term Of the privilege
Thus the matter stands.
Now we care very little what Company gets
the privileges asked for in this bill,
but il Is q matter OF importance that
the establishment Of this line, which is de-
tclegraphic communication the West India
Islands with both the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts of the United States, should he carried
into effect. And, in order that it should be,
we think some such rights. guarantees
and immunties as are asked of Con-
greSs by this Company, are the indispensable
condition precedent Without the grant
of an exclusive right for a term of years,
the corporators can hardly hope 10 get the
capital subscribed to build their line Independ-
emily Of the established fact in regard to marine
cables--namely, that of the 1900 miles at
tempted TO be laid, only about $500 miles have
proved success-there are new features OF
difficulty to be encountered in this enterprise
from the coral reefs and Gulf Stream of our
coasts. The grant asked for in this case
is no more than the security due those who
invest their capital in an enterprise peculiar to
its character and Is liable to none of the
abuses Of monopoly. If the projectors of this
scheme expect a return Of their outlay, they
must look exclusively to the quick construction
and good management of their line II, how
ever, these corporators are not wise enough TO
recognize this fact, then, under the power TO
repeal or amend, Congress may, at any time,
control the subject, even to the extent of allow
ing competing line.
IL appears, moreover that there is in ex-
istence Spanish grant giving the exclusive
privilege to certain Spanish subjects to con-
meet the Island of Cuba and the United
States. As we understand it, these Spaniards
can at any time, in the absence of any pro-
hbition, land their cable from Cuba, and thus
fix upon us the incubus of a real monopoly-a
foreign monopoly indefinite in time and hostile
to American interests There is one effective
way Of preventing this, and that is by the legis-
lation asked for by the International Ocean
Company.
by this means. tha Spanish COMPANY would
