I. Mr.. Washbnrne,s TELEGRAPH Bill.

Mr.. Washburne has taken the first step
in an important movement in this country
by introducing bill in Congress to con-
struct telegraph line from Wash
ington to New York for public use and
under the direction Of the Post Office Depart
ment. Weurge Mr.. Washburne not to let his
bill be smothered or unnecessarily delayed for
there has been no measure brought before Con-
gress which is likely to be Of 80 much value to
the country as this. BY the provisions Of the
bill, which we published yesterday, II will be
seen that telegraphing between Washington and
New York and the intermediate stations will be
under the management Of the Post Office De-
partment, and that messages will be sent for the
public just the same as letters are now by that
department.. IL Is proposed to greatly reduce
the cost Of raphing-that is to say, at q
cost only of one cent word, provided, how
ever, that no message shall be less than ten
cents, and that there shall be charged two cents
for delivery and three cent stamp put on
each message. This is to be for all distances.
The Postmaster General may reduce these
rates II any other telegraph line should charge
less. News kilograms for publication may be
transmitted at fifty per cent reduction Of
these rates. Accompanying the bill is an
able and elaborate report, showing that although
the world Is indebted to the genius Of an
American citizen, Professor Morse, for the
practical development Of the electric telegraph
as means Of communication, and although
the first line on his plan and under his direc-
ton was built with money furnished by Con-
grcss, the telegraph system has made less pro-
gress toward perfection and has been practi-
cally Of less value to the masses Of the people
in our country than in any civilized country on
the globe The report shows this by reference
TO what has been done in other countries, and
then calls attention to what is about TO be done
in Great Britain through the bill lately intro
duced in Parliament to place the whole tele-
graph system of the kingdom under the gov
ernmcnt. The line proposed by Mr.. Wash
burncs bill is only an experiment, but there
can bo no doubt Of its success If Congress has
the good sense to pass the bill. Indeed, we
regard il rs the beginning Of q complete revo-

tial law at the discretion Of the General in
this process the elections if necessary, may be
controlled as completely as Marshal Bazaine
managed the election in Mexico, whereby Maxi
milan the First and the last, was made EN-
peror "by the will Of the people,
The Parliament has not the least idea of
giving up its conflict with the King, and in the
reliable but reticent General who is the main
stay of the Parliament, we may yet have
an American Cromwell, with all the modern
improvements. In the very beginning of this
conflict at Washington the prophetic ''old
commoner" warned ''the man at the other end
of the avenue" of the usurpations and the
fate of Charles the First. The parallel
SO far is wonderfully suggestive The more
violent and extreme revulsions and reactions
of the terrific French Revolution we may still
escape, as we have to this point avoided;
but still the transitions from the King to
the Convention, from the Convention to the
Directory, and from the Directory to the Con-
sulate and the empire, were but French modif-
cations of the English conflict, beginning with
the first Charles and eliminating in Cromwell.
So we may say that with Wade as President,
under some American variations of the pro-
gramme, we shall have both the Long Parlia-
ment and the French Directory in Congress,
and the three Consuls-Wade, Stevens and
Grant-operating together, with Grant pa
tiently awaiting the occasion which win compel
him to re-enact the role of Cromwell and Ma
poleon.
To ''quiet and honest people," as the amiable
Lincoln would express it, such things in this
country may seem past all belief; but SO with
many philosophers were considered the warn
ings of our late gigantic civil war, until the
echoes from Fort Sumter startled us 'like a
fire bell in the night" From our subsequent
experience, embracing the revolutionary adj
vanccs Of a hundred years Of peace, we ought
to be prepared for anything. We have heard
that the unfortunate Buchanan, shortly before
vacating the White House, remarked, with
downcast face ''We are going to have two
republics or an empire. The constitution is
broken and we are gone" ''Old Buck never
dreamed of saving the Union ''outside the con-
sttltion," and so he had determined to ''let it
slide" ''Old Thad' and the radicals, ''outside
the constitution" on the other hand, having
realized power equal to all emergencies, are
resolved to hold on, republic or empire.

luton in the use and operation of telegraphs.
Nor can this change be delayed long should
Congress even be stupid enough to reject Mr..
Washburnes admirable bill The time has
come when this mighty agent of civilization
ana progress must be made more generally
useful and cheap for all the people, and when
government must control it for the public good,
as it now does the postal system. Mr.. Wash
burne has begun great work and he should
follow 1t up with untiring zeal.

Report Of the Committee ON Foreign Affairs
in Favor of the Alaska Purchase.

in Favor of the Alaska Purchase.
General Banks, as Chairman of the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs, reported a bill
on Monday providing for the payment of seven
million two hundred thousand dollars to Rus
STA for the Alaska purchase. There was
minority report of the committee against the
appropriation of money for this purchase.
The minority make a weak argument against
the acquisition Of this Territory, and reiteratc
the stale twaddle about icebergs, savages and
climate there; but they lose sight of the fact
that the country, and especially the group of
islands stretching across the Pacific, will be
worth ten times over the purchase money
within short time, for telegraphic purposes
with China, Japan, East India, Russia and other
Asiatic countries. Telegraph cables can be laid
from one continent to the other by the Alcutian
Islands much more easily than the Atlantic
cable was laid. In fact, no cable over few
hundred miles in length would be required by
that route to bring us in instant commune
cation with all parts of Asia. The Russian
purchase is valuable in many other respects,
but for this object alone it is, as we have said,
worth ten times the amount to be given. We
hope Congress will pay no attention to these
small, narrow minded men who cannot see
beyond their noses, and appropriate the money
forthwith, as recommended by the majority of
the committee.
