The RUsso-AA1ER1cAN TELEaRAPH.-The Direc-
tors of the Western Union Telegraph Company
met in New York last week, and resolved to ssu-
pend operations IN the construction of the Russo
American Line. The company also resolved to
send commission to Russia to urge the Court to
assume the construction OF this line from the
Amoor river to the Russian possessions in North
America. IT the Russian Government refuses to
accede to this request it is probable that the pro.
iect of connecting the United States with Asia and
Europe by the Northwestern route will be aban-
doned.
The cause for this action may be briefly stated:
The Atlantic cable has proved @ success beyond
the expectations of even those who projected it.,
and it is not fully employed in transmitting the
dispatches now offered, and the company are gra-
dually reducing rates. If the Russian line was
now completed it could not compete for European
business with the cable
Such being the facts, the Western Union Dlrec-
tors do not feel warranted in making further r. eX-
penditurc on the Russian Extension Line This
line has been constructed some 500 miles above
New Westminster, in British America, and, strange
as it may seem, is now paying working expenses
as far North as it goes, and it works satisfactorily
The company has expended about s., guy oo0 on
the Russian Line and has property and funds to
the credit of thnt line valued at s15O0,OO0, Which
may be available to the stockholders.
The capital stock Of the company was Sl0, ,0O0,-
00O on which twenty-five per cent. was paid.
About ninety per cent of the stock was converted
into the bonds of the Western Union Company, in
accordance with an Offer made by that company
some time sincc There is about one million
standing uncoWerted, on which the holders have
paid $3.50, 000-ROcItesteI' Union.

SENDING THE NEGROES TO AFR1cA.-We are sure
that almost everybody will agreo with the opposi-
ton which was made recently in the House OF
the purpose of aiding negroes to emigrate from
this country to Liberia In the old times of slavery
ind pro-slaveryism, the Colonization Society per-
formed o most excellent and commendable work.
But now that blacks are everywhere free, and
their rights as men guaranteed and enforced,
there is no reason why we should send any portion
of them to Africa to work out their salvation. No
one now entertains the idea which was formerly
held by many of our prominent statesmen, that the
negro race on this continent will ever be returned
en- nasse to Africa; and the practice of shipping off
few hundred yearly at q heavy expense to the
Government and people, serves no reasonable pur-
pose Of any kind whatever.-Ne!o York Times.

him. and decided that though the shareholders
who moved to bo relieved might have claims as
