ers, scuptors, engravers, photographers and photo
graphers, was held last evening at Macdonalds
studio 695 Broadway, for the purpose OF initiating

UNIFORM OF TIE Cry LETTER CARRIERS
Our city carriers of the post have at last put
on decent appearance and come out in a new
uniform, which does credit to the corps. We
want now more promptitude in the delivery Of
the contents of the mails by the General Post
Office to the carriers in order to make the ser
vice effectual and public benefit, as it should
be. If the carriers loter now every one may
mark them, and we shall not lay to their charge
the delays that may occur in the letter de-
livery Something little higher than the car
rers will now bear looking after, Mr.. Kelly.

GROCERIES, before our last charter cleo
ton a funny fellow and inveterate joker, who
publishes a small daily paper in this city, pro-
Iosed the name of Bohemian contemporary

bis rusty coat and clod-hopping boots as Minis
ter to England. The hard-hsed democracy
appreciated the jest and enjoyed hearty laugh
over it; but the Bohemian took ii 10 earnest.

Department by the telegraph. Thus from thu
mouthpiece Of the jobbers themselves we con
vict them. The truth is, it is a matter of self
preservation for the Post Office Department tC
take charge of all the telegraph lines; fol
telegraphing has become so common that il
shows the inclination of the people to use this
in preference to the long and tedious method
of letter writing. This will SO reduce the rev.
enues that the mail service can no longer be
carried on in its present manner.
All Europe are recognizing the fact that their
Geographic systems belong to the public, and
should be so administered that the exchange of
thought should not be forced to pay dividends
the pressure that any private corporation
chooses to place upon national intelligence.
England has lately very justly taken charge
of her telegraph lines, and it pays well.
The fact that we have one hundred
and twenty thousand miles of wires,
and transmit annually double the amount
of messages of all Europe combined, is
only another argument for making the tele-
graph national. Civilization can never work
to its full tension in this or any other country
so long as it is in the hands of an incorporated
company. But it is proposed to turn the
greater part of our lines over to the govern
ment for forty millions of dollars-the whole
worth, perhaps, ten millions-that is to say
that better and more complete Geographic
system might be built for the latter sum. If
phianihropic directors and stockholders are
managing their lines for the good Of the public
why do they wish to bleed us to the tune Of
thirty millions of dollars? We cannot allow a
great national blessing to be dispensed by a
few individuals, who monopolze it, tell us
how far we may use it and dictate the price
we shall pay for it. SO much of our national
greatness depends upon cheap telegraphing
that statesmen of broad views will not hesitate
to put their shoulders to the wheel and over
turn the present system. The banquet given
in honor of Professor Morse was very unfor-
tunately stained by the presence Of telegraph
jobbers who prey upon the public wants.
Their own arguments convict them, and instead
Of influencing Congress- as they hope to, Con-
gress must be Disguised at the disgraceful
attempt upon this occasion to perp etuate' the
telegraph monopoly.

Good Advice 10 the south,

General Longstreet has written letter
which is intended to give instruction to the
disorderly elements in the South, in advance
of the new policy which is probably to be pur-
sued by Grants administration. The advice
comes in wisely and properly, and has a tone
of good sense about ii which, if the young
blood of the South comprehends and acts upon,
will do some good. General Longstreet
advises that all the old feelings of hostility
shall be buried that the South shall endeavor
to carry out the laws of Congress and shall
await the action of General Grant, trusting to
his honesty of purpose in the administration
of affairs. We hardly think, judging from
the antecedents of the President elect, that
the South will be deceived in the policy
which he will pursue. 1t will no doubt
be directed towards peace, good will and
genuine reconstruction. We notice that
many Of the Southern papers, the Richmond
journals especially, echo the sentiments of
General Longstreet's letter, in which matter
they also exhibit their good sense. If this
thing of reconstruction is to be done at all it
were well that it is done quickly. The eleva-
ton Of Grant to the Presidency affords the best
opportunity for bringing the whole affair to a
healthy solution, andsit is well to see that the
South is beginning to comprehend this fact.

The Conference and the Eastern Question

The Conference and the Eastern Question.
From cable dispatches which we print this
morning it will be gathered that there is now
little if any doubt that the proposed confer
ence on the Eastern question will be held. The
official journals of Paris speak Of its success
as certain. 1t is not said that the Ottoman
government has given its consent that con-
ference should be held or that it is willing to
abide by Its decisions. Determined to be ready
to act with vigor, if to take action be neces-
sary, it is forwarding supplies to Hobart Pacha
and his feet, still in the Bay of Syria. In all
the Turkish arsenals the greatest activity pre-
walls. The most important announcement
comes from Vienna. According to the Presse,
an influential and generally well informed
journal in that city, the Greek government is
ready to comply with the recent demands made
by Turkey. If this announcement be correct
it simplifes matters very much. If it be the
object of the congress simply to prevent war
its vocation is already gone. The congress,
in fact, is rendered unnecessary. If, how
ever, it is the object of the great Powers to
remove the causes which have led to the
threatening aspect of affairs in the East the
congress, Notwithstanding the altered attitude
of Greece. is as much naoossity over. md
the presumption is that it will be held. Now
that the question has been so much agitated,
and that the hopes of the Cretans have been
excited, something definite must be agreed
upon with regard to the island The best
thing, perhaps, that could now be done would
be to grant the Cretans complete independence
at self-government. To this course neither
Turkey nor Greece could reasonably object
Moreover, if the great Powers agree upon this
or any course, objection on the part of either
Turkey or Greece, or both, will be unavailing.

and became so incensed against the democrats
for their want Of appreciation of his merits
and claims that he first qnarrelled with their
nominee for Mayor, and then began pitching
into the proprietors Of all the corner groceries
In the city, denouncng them as rascals, swind-
iers and thieves, and abusing them more fero-
cionsly than Greeley does because they refuse
to vote the radical ticket.

Our SPANISH NEws.-Despatches from
Madrid inform us that the Spanish govern
ment purposes sending out ten thousand
soldiers to Cuba in the month of January.
This looks like business, and seems, at least,
to imply confidence. Meanwhile we have
another announcement, which reveals very
significantly the low state of the Spanish
Treasury. For the sake of economy it has
been suggested to reduce largely the numbers
of captains general, governors and bishops.
This may be wise step to take, II we knew
all the circumstances but it looks very much
ike Capitalization. Spain certainly needs all
he money she can get, and has good reason
o be economical. In spite of all this appa-
.ent confidence on the part of the govern
nent it is very difficult to believe that the
revolution is yet success.

The Morse Banquet-The Telegraph Jobber.
in Attendance.


Yesterday we detailed a full account of the
proceedings at the dinner given to Professor
Morse. This tribute, go well merited, was
particularly appropriate at moment when
the people Of the United States are preparing
to take the great telegraphic system into their
own hands instead of trusting its fortunes to
the narrow management of a private corpora
ton. Numerous speeches followed the toasts
which were given. Very happy among them
was that of Mr.. Thornton, the British Minister,
who projected Geographic improvements for
the benefit Of merchants, lovers and diplomats
quite novel and valuable If they can be carried
out. The great speech of the evening was,
however, that of Mr.. Morse, who gave in detail
history Of his efforts, his trials and his sue
cesses. Tracing the homage which Europe
has frankly conceded to American talent, he
then explained the broad views which had
animated him from the inception Of his great
idea. These were that the government Of
the United States should be the sole owner of
an invention which 80 vitality affected the
general welfare. Firm in this opinion, Mr..
Morse offered 1t to the Treasury Depart
ment in September, 1887, when he proposed
attaching it to the Post Office Department, to
which it properly belongs. In support OF this
he was not alone the Hon. G. G. Ferris q
member of the Committee Of Commerce in
1912, reported to the committee December 80
of the same year that $50 inviting are the
prospects of profit to individual enterprise
that it is matter Of serious consideration
whether the government should not on this
account alone, seize the present opportunity OF
securing to itself the regulation Of system
which, if monopolized by private company,
might be used to the serious injury of the Post
| Office Department Mr.. Morse explained why
this department did not accept his pro-
position to possess itself of the new
method OF transmitting our thoughts, and
showed how narrow were the views Of our
statesmen at that date--entirey opposite 70
those of the great inventor, who says :--"M Ny
earliest desires and intentions were that the
government should possess the control of such
d power as could not but foresee was in the
telegraph" In contradstinction to these en-
larged views were those of the telegraph job
bers who were present at the dinner, to watch
over class and local interests in opposition tc
those of the people. IL was advocated that
"the telegraph ought not to be under control
Of department Of the government which i
at present under arrears to the government
more than three millions Of dollars, and which
| arrears promise TO be increased for the year
| ten millions Of dollars" Here we have wha

falsifier and Grant responds that this is not so
but that he has been only watching Johnson
and thanking him as desperate schemer, not to
be trusted. Here then, is the source of the
''unpleasantness" still existing between these
parties. And mark the important conse-
quences-the general rally of the leading radi
Gals to Grant and their abandonment of Chase,
the removal of Stanton, the impeachment and
trial OF Johnson, the looming up of Chase,
like the morning star, in the democratic hori
zon; the nomination of Grant as the unani-
nous and universal republican champion, the
botchwork Of the Tammany Convention, the
disgust of johnson and his final pr0nuncia-
ansento in favor of Seymour, when he under
took in the eleventh hour to ''swing round the
circle" and the triumphant election of Grant in
the place of Johnson. Surely, after all these
things Grant ought to be satisfied and johnson
ought to throw up the sponge, considering
his faith in the will and the Judgment of the
people.
We guess that the difficulty is with Grant.
A point Of veracity is to him, with his SOL
dier's training, vital matter; while johnson,
perhaps, scans it through the green spectacles
of the Politician medium through which
even Grant looks green. But there was a
difficulty between Grant and Butler about
bottle, or about Butler being corked up in
bottle, or something of that sort. That matter
having been adjusted, why not a reconciliation
between Grant and Johnson? The Secretary
OF State) who could not recollect what John
son said or what Grant said) or Greeley
(relieved by Johnson of his jeff Davis bail
bond) ought to step in as mediator. After all,
however, it will probably be best to leave this
suspension of relations between Grant and
johnson just as it is for the President COM
ing in being thus free from any entangling
alliances with the President going out will be
at perfect liberty to cl ear the kitchen.
