A Co-oPERATIvE TELEGRAPH COMPANY
A meeting of practical photographers was
held in New York, on the 18th of July, for the
purpose OF organizing a company to construct.
own and manage general system of telegraph
lines, intended when the scheme is fully devel-
oped to cover the Union, The name selected
for the organization is "The Cooperative Tele.
graph Company" The company was organ
iz geo under under the laws of New York, and the d.
;rectors now offer for subscription to practical
telegraphers 100000 of the capital stock, in
sums ms not to exceed 5000 to any one person,
1nve per cent. payable at the time of subscrip-
ton and tie balance ip five per cent monthly
lnstallments When the shares subscribed for
are fully paid up, an additional share will be
issued as premium to this class of subscribers
only for each share taken. We regret to see
the process of watering the stock Of this com
pany begun in the very inception of an enter!
PRISE which promises so many advantages. =
Telegraph lines have hitherto been controlled
by Spectators, and a scheme which promises
to bling the public into direct Communication
with the men who do the work would be sure,
u conducted fairly, to commend itself to the
FAVOR OF business men. The capital stock of
the company has been fixed at ten million dol.
lars, in shares of one hundred dollars each. Int
TO enable every person in any way connected
with and interested in the telegraph business
TO participate in this movement, certain
amount of the stock will be issued in fraction

GENERAL SHERMAN has been talking with
the President about the War Department, in a
style very unsatisfactory to Mr.. johnson The
following account of the affair is taken from
the Washington dispatches oil the Boston Ad-
z The President does not find General Grant
any more pliable than Mr.. Stanton. but he
hardly dares to supplant him with such a man
y as General Steedman though so far as Con
gress and the country are concerned he thinks
. he could depose him 10 favor of General Sher-
man. General Grant considers himself in the
e war office by order of the President and liable
TO be removed by another order from the same
source. 1t is very doubtful, in view of all that
has occurred, if the President makes definite
tender OF the position 10 General Sherman, and
1T is almost certain that he would not accent
the Office if the tender were made 1t may safe
ly De said that he will not do so unless Gener-
al Grant thus advises. The situation therefore
may be stated in few words, viz fit be-
"a comes certain that General Grant must 90 out
!, General Sherman will take the place if it is of
fefed him. He will, however, before doing SO.
strongly advise the President not to make any.
CHANGE That MIR. johnson called him here
] WITH ne view of putting him at the head of the
war department II he could use him. is as
true as the fact already developed that he can
g not use him. ~ f4uts itiII{sIlD .fG3F : =
General Sherman says he don't want to live
IN Washington a week, and would earnestly
~ " NC eAcuseu from entering upon any
duty that would keep him here is. more
q over, entirely content with spresent militia
~ position and wholly disinclined to the I'M
oertaRIhg OF executive service like that of the
war office: He also says that he has found no
diihcultyin serving under General Grant, and
mas no desire to be put into other relations
with him. Everybody knows that the. most
cordial ayxaf-s-ttsy pcUween rfieSe two
officers during the latter part of the war, and
y Is perhaps scarcely necessary to say that
there has been no change in this respect since
the return of peace.

MIR. EDIToR.-Sir The new Fire Alarm is O
soed tning to direct the engines where TO find
"nie' out there should be some kind of an
a.ai II 70 awake the firemen. AT the fire at the
vinegar works the engines were all ON hand
on good Time but nearly half of the firemen
did not hear the alarm All the firemen that
live on Oxford street. from Pearl m 10 smith
and all down in that vicinity, did not hear The
bells. 1t is impossible to hear them unless the
wind is in that direction. Iwould ask why the
bell on the Catholic Church could not be rang
in a.fre hope the city officials will look this
matter up, for what is the use of engines at a
fire without men to work them? Will you
please publish this in your Daily Press and

was brought out last night, for the first time,
at Deering Hall, to very large and apprecia-

but they did not mar the beauty of the pl ay,

Miss Dollie Bidwell as Rosa Leigh" was ex-

of Lady Florence, never did better. The play
was well cast and handsomely carried ant for

DEXTER, the famous geIling, bought by Rob-

in the spring of 1857 and is consequently ten
years old. He was sold to Mr.. George Alley
in 1864 for $500. In October, 1865, he trotted q
mile over the Fashion Course. L. L, in 2ls Is:
and in 1866 was sold at public auction to close
the partnership between MI. Alley and Mr..
Teakle of California, for $4,000 paid by Mr.
Alley. On the 21st of last June he was beaten
by Ethan Allen and running mate in The best
time ever made in the world, namely 215. 2:17
and 2:19. Many who timed him ON this occa-
sion say he trotted mile in PIG, but his best
recorded time is 217 Ia at Buffalo, ON the 18th
of August This is the fastest harness time on
record, beating Flora Temples best time by
IL seconds. Dexter was sired by Hambeto-
man, and gives the lie to the proverb which
says,
IL he have four white feet and white nose
rake OF ms skin, AMI give him to the crows'' !
having inherited precisely these marks from his
dam. His color with these exceptions is a rich
glossy brown. Bonner offers to pay even
larger price for a suitable mate for Dexter.
