The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1867-03-17

AT the banquet Of the American Chamber
of Commerce in Liverpool in honor Of the
promoters of the Atlantic cable, on Thursday
last, Mr.. Cyrus W. Field declared that the
existing cables were perfect in construction
and could do twelve times the amount of
work which was now offered. II will occur
to. every one reading this statement to
ask why the tolls are not at once reduced
30 a. to encourage the more general use of
the line. The principle which is recognized
in railroad business-the greater the traffic
the greater the proft-holds equally good in
telegraphing. We confess, therefore, that we
are at q loss to discover why the directors Of
the Atlantic Telegraph Company should nx
limit to their business so far short Of the
capacity Of their lines.
In this statement of Mr.. Field, however, we
find the explanation Of an event which has
excited good deal of speculation, namely.
the abandonment of the Russian line by the
directors of the Western Union Telegraph
Company. That project was entered upon
before it was known that the Atlantic cable
would be success. It was subsequently,
taken up by the Western Union directors
with view to speculation, and after
forcing the stock up to the point
at which 1t suited them to dispose OF it, under
the pretext that the Atlantic line would not
suffice for the requirements Of the European
business, they sold out all they held and then
stopped the further construction of the work,
leaving in The lurch all the smaller holders of
the stock. The reasons assigned for this dis
creditable proceeding were that the natural
difficulties in the way Of the construction and
maintenance of the line were so great that it
would be impossible to carry out the under
taking. Now, these points had, it was sup
posed, been settled by the surveys, and the
stockholders had no reason to anticipate
failure from them. Even now they do not
believe any more than we do that the line is
impractcable, or that, sooner or later, it will
not be completed. The Western Union specu-
lators knew, however, that the Atlantic cable
more than sufficed for the present European
business, and therefore got out of the concern
satisfied with the pile they made and content
to sacrifice all those whom they had deluded
by their representations.
These facts 60 to confirm the views to which
we recently gave expression in regard to the
necessity of he governments taking under
its supervised Ill the telegraphs and railroads
of the country. Until this be done we shall
have no effort made to reform their misman-
agement and put an end to the dishonest prac-
tees that are being SO extensively carried on
in connection with them.

Article Three Of tho Rates and Prices Of
Hacks.

Article Three Of the Rates and Prices Of
Hacks.
For conveying passenger any distance not exceeding
mile nifty cents for conveying two passengers the
same distance, seventy1v cents, thirty and
hall cents EACH and for every additional passenger
thirty seven and a half cents.
Thus reads the first section in the article of
the ordinance regulating the rates Of fare for
hacks. The fourth section reads =
For conveying passenger TO Fortieth street and
remaining half hour and returning, dollar and
half; and for every additional passenger fifty cents
The penalty for demanding more than the
legal fare is o forfeiture of any sum whatever
for services, and for refusing to show the num-
Der and badge a fine Of s10 II the hackman
insists upon his unlawful demand II is the duty
of any policeman to arrest him upon applica-
ton Of the party so attempted to be defrauded.
With these plain rules Of law we cannot see
why the grievances so frequently complained
of against the system Of hackney coaches may
not be put stop to by citizens themselves. A
case occurred not long ago at one of the
wharves, where hackman demanded an
exorbitant fare from gentleman. The case
was promptly referred to q policeman, and
upon the gentleman giving his card and promis-
ing to make complaint the dishonest driver
was at once arrested and carried off to the
station. Here was policeman who promptly
did his duty and citizen who also fulfilled his
duty to the public. II every one who is sought
to be imposed upon in this way would cause
the arrest of the offending party we would
soon cease to suffer from the extortions and
insolence Of the hack drivers.
