70 our domestic administration, and re-

order is sensible and timely, and affords US
the only apparent means of release from the
tumult; yet it is o disgrace that the tumult
should ever have occurred. We trust that the
Governor will DO firm in his resolution II the
trouble continues TO declare the disturbed coun-
try in state of instruction and rule it by
military force.
OF the merits of the controversy we have no
need as yet to form an opinion. Practically
it is fight between Mr.. James Fisk and the

troll the new route to the West

matter of individual taste.

When Martin Chuzzlewit turned his back
upon the fiOurshing city of Eden and returned
to the river-town whence the enthusiastic citl-
zens a few months before had sped him on his
way, Capt Kedgick expressed the opinion that
the people chad been took In" and wouldn't
"bestlike his coming back" " A man amt got
no right to be a public man." continued this
free born American, "unless he meets the pub

two men he may be entitled to additional
privileges, and therefore the Siamese TWINS
who promised when they went abroad to be
cut apart before they came home again, may
perhaps be pardOBed for returning rather more
closely united than ever. We have no heslta-
ton in saying, however, that their behavior
does not meet the Epublic views. The opera
ton to which they proposed to submit would
have been the surgical sensation of the CEN
tury and to balk ms of it seems hardly less
than cruel To make the matter worse, weare
assured that they never meant to be separated.

At the recent celebration of the settlement
of Utah, one Miner gave as his toast the fol-
lowing: 1.-THE Matrimonial Partnership-The
best ship afoat; the more partners the bet
Z" ter and merrier the crew." Now the ques-
ton is, Is this true7 theoretically. we should
say that it was impossible for the wives of
polygamist to be happy, and intelligent trav-
elers have asserted that they are not happy,
do not seem merry" and, in fact, do
seem quite the contrary in the harems of
Utah. Of course, the experience of mankind
is against any great amount of matrimonial
felicity under such conditions and we rather
suspect this Miner of laughing and whistling
to keep up his courage.

10 the construction of the road. If four rail-
roads across the continent were built, and
each were to be conceded alternate sections for
twenty miles along its track, the Public
Domain. though thereby diminished in area,
would he largely increased in value. Hence
we favor land grants to important railroads.
But Gen. Fremonts road, since we had any
knowledge of it, has asked of Congress merely
the right of way across the public landsj anu
this the House voted (Feb. %, 69,) TO grant:
Yeas t21; Nays Al. Another resolve TO the
same effect was adopted by the new House,
month later Yeas 1902; Nays 40. That the
Senate would have cOncurred if it had been
allowed to vote on the question, was never
doubtful but the pressure of business ana un-
fair maneuyers in Committee precluded any
action thereon last Spring We cannot doubt
that the right of way will be promptly con-
coded next Winter A third joint resolve 10
the same effect with che foregoing was SUB
mitted to the Senate March 9th) by Gov
Morton, referred to its Committee on Public
Lands. favorably reported april 9th) by that

Some of the Cubans who were sentenced to
a terrible exile on the African coast have, after
exciting adventures, reached New-YOrk. Their
story as told to-day will move wonder and
sympathy. The expedition with which nine
teen of the exiles left their prison ground at
Fernando Pc, their luck in being picked up at
sea, their hOspitable treatment by the King of
Calabar, the refusal Of an English captain to
deliver them up to a Spanish vessel of war,
and their return 20 civilization after immense
cost and great hardship, are points OF a ro-
mantle and dramatic narrative. One part OF It,
however, will be dwelt upon with curiosity-we
mean the fact that so many prisoners eluded
the vigilance of the Spanish authorities There
was a rumor current at the time these Cubans
were transported, that they would make their
escape early, as Spanish governors in Africa
were not supposed to hold Office for the sake
of its hOnOrs. The hope of escape must have
relieved the apprehension of a very dreadful
captivity. We owe it, however TO the Span
iards to say that they seem to have made
great efforts to overtake the rich fugitivcs,
who, according to their narrative, left jewels
and other valuables behind them.

THE BRITISH TELEGRAPH BILL.

THE BRITISH 1ELbUhdI Hbbb'
The bill for the purchase of the telegraphic
lines throug hout Great Britain is measure
of great Importance The Government purpose
extending telegraphic communication 70 the
suburbs of all the large towns, to all the second
rate towns having railway stations and to
places in which at present there arc neither
telegraph nor railway stations. 1t is contem-
plated to serve, under the new arrangement,
1876 places, instead of 1882 now served by tele-
praphs and railways, and to have Si2 branch
offices, instead of the e47 existing at present
There is now one telegraph Office to every
1900 of the population; tho Government
will have one office TO every 5000 OF
the population. They propose, likewise,
the creation of offices of deposit. every
letter-box and every pillar-box being such
an office, where messages will be received
and sent to the telegraph Office to be forwarded
10 their destination. The wires are to be brought
into the money order Office in every town ana
district, thereby bringing the telegraph into
the center of population, instead OF It's remain
ing, as it frequently does at present, IN the
outskirts. And they contemplate extending IN
many places the number of hours during which
the telegraph will he accessible to the public.
II is proposed also to have one uniform tarin
of Is. for 20 words The basis of the agree
ment entered into, under an act passed last
year for the transfer of the lines to the Govern
ment, was that sum amounting to twenty years
purchase of the net profits of the various tele-
graph companies up to the Both of June OF last
wear should be paid to the propretors OF those
undertakings. On this basis, the amount TO be
paid to the Companies is over S2S,jOO,OO gold,
but other expenses will swell the total cost to
s83. 500 900. 1t Is expected that the lines will
Weld gross revenue close upon $3,50O,OOO aud
the expenditure will be nearly S2,OOOOOO, show
ing about 81 100000 net pro6t-enOugh to pay
the interest upon the purchase money and leave
a surplus of fully S25O.O0O. The number of in
land messages for the year ending last Deem
Der was 6OO0,00O, upon which number it is
reckoned there will be an increase for the first
year of at least 100000. Much of this In
crease is expected TO result from bringing the
telegraph nearer the center of the population,
experience, both Oh the Continent and in En-
gland, having shown that wherever telegraph
facilities are by this means placed within easy
reach of the people a large increase on the
number of messages is certain to follow. 1t is
noteworthy that, contrary to the opinion of
some of the most experienced engineers, the
Government in the estimates, have calculated
the life of cable at fifteen years, and have there
fore provided for replacing all the cables at
the end of that time.

GER FREMONT AND HIS RAILWAY


The fact that Gen. John C.. Fremont, now
in Paris on business connected with the pro-
jected "Memphis, FL PasO, and Pacific Rail
"road,n whereof he is President has there en-
countered obstacles and endorsements grow
ing out of Misrepresentation set afloat with
regard to our Governments connection with
that project, has been set forth in some jour
nails in such a manner as to prejudice unjustly
both Gen. Fremont and his Railroad. We
need not assure cur readers that Gen. Fremont
has made no misstatements; but many
will be glad to learn that none have
been made on his authority or by the Com
pany whereof he is President. Whatever mis-
apprehensions may at any time have existed
must have grown out of the statements of per-
sons engaged in selling the bonds of the Com
pany, and too eager to make profits to be care
full of facts. ...
1t seems that, on the Goth of January last,
Mr. Harlan submitted to the Senate a bill
which granted the right of way TO Gen. FIRE.
mont's road, and proposed United States
guaranty of the six per tcent bonds of the
Company to specified amount Whether
this guaranty was special or general,
We do not know; though we believe it
contemplated a Northern as well as
Southern Pacific Railroad, and perhaps two or
three branches. But, whether general or special,
we are infexibly opposed to all such guaran-
ties. The Government has virtually supplied
the means wherewith one Railroad from the
Missouri to the Pacific, over the most difficult
and desolate route, has already been con-
structed. There the subsidy business must
stop. To grant lands in aid of projected
Railroad through the Public Domain, is another
matter. The Government may well afford to
give alternate sections for breadth OF twenty
miles or so along the track of any trans-con-
tinental railroad; for the lands retained Will
be worth taE more than tAG whole were RylQE
