There is so much weakness and 30 little judg.
ment displayed in the sending of dispatches by the
Atlantic cable, that complaints are rife all over
the Northern and Western States. Complaints
are also many and well founded throughout the
entire continent against the heavy charges for
overland kilograms. The only way to put an end
to this enormous. and at the same time this weak
handed monopoly, is to create competition. 1t is
not alone in the charges that the people have
cause TO complain: there are two other causes,
far graver and more jrksome. l. The unnecessary
delay IN the transit Of messages. 2. The tampering
with and betrayal Of telegraphic communications.
If there were other lines competing with the
present ones these abuses would not exist. Ben
Butler and Bingham could never hsve ordered
private dispatches to be furnished congressional
committee, if there had been two or more distinct
lines.
The Scientific American, an able and impartial
journal, says the Frsnco-American Atlantic cable
is advancing with satisfactory rapidity. 1t is to
be laid from Brest, on the French coast, across
the Atlantic to the French Island of st. Pierre of
the American continent. a distance of 1925 miles,
Communication with the mainland win be effected
by means of an additional line to New York.
The cable win be an Improvement upon the
Atlantic cables already laid. The line will be
laid in June, during the quiet which reigns near
midsummer over the ocean. The Great Eastern
is in course of being fitted out for the work OF
laying ii, and will doubtless be conveyed by
national ships of both the United States aud
France. -..... ..r a.
The fact that the French cable Ia competitor
with the English cable viii render it necessary to
have competitors with the present inland system.
II is such rival system that the Great National
Telegraph Company of the United States contem-
plate. Most of their capital has been already SUBJ
scribed but with wise prescience they are de-
termined that every city and other populous center
in the country shall have shares 10 the enterprise.
They therefore have distributed SO many shares at
different points, in order that the people may have
an interest in the great work. The capitalists of
Europe and America have all been anxious to
take up the whole amount. but the benefits are
intended to spread all over the land, and cannot
be monopolzed by cliques. The citizens of New
Orleans ought to weigh the advantages of this
extensive project, already more than half accom-
plsbed and subscribe as literally ss those of Gin.
cinnati, st. Louis, Chicago and New York.
