THE Postal Telegraph Bill being IN
der discussion in the Senate, Mr.. Or
ton, President of the great Western
Union telegraph monopoly, made a
lengthy argument against it. He in
sisted that to reduce the rates to the
basis Of Europe, where the wires are
under government control, would be
unjust, that the telegraph was used
only by the few, and Congress would
do better to attend to the interests Of
the many, and TO lowering the prices
Of food and clothing. lie regarded it
as the true policy Of Congress to favor
competition, rather than consolidate
and control all the wires by the postal
system. To these views, which indi-
cate the leading points of his speech,
the New York Herald thus very eff
fectively replies:
1t is merely begging the question to
say that reducing the price of food
and clothing for the many should be
IllC OLlCLE VI OOlzACooLVAAo TX 1ldLAVA
rather than reducing the rates of tele-
graphy for the few. Congress can
very easily attend to both matters
without rushing its business. The
one is a question merely of tariff, and
is always affected by prices in Europe
and the duties imposed on imports,
in order either to protect our own
manufacturers or TO obtain a revenue
for the Government. But the rates of
internal telegraphy are not affected
by imports, and are not at present a
source of much Government revenue.
In the event of Government
taking control OF the wires, however,
they Will become a source of revenue
at such reduced rates as will make
them accessible, as they are already
essential to the many. AS to Mr.. Or
TONS idea that we should leave the
people to promote their W social
and business intercourse, it is a true
and good one, but it is his own mo-
nopOly which prevents their carrying
out the idea. Our Government is a
Government Of the people, and while
they could promote their own BUSH
ness and social intercourse through
the Government telegraph, they are
deharred from doing so through his
monopoly. The imperial autocrat of
France, to whom Mr.. orion re-
fers a. extending only the minor
privileges of cheap telegraphy to
the people, while he Is held
upon his throne by the bayonets of his
sOldiery, is prototyped here not by our
government, but by such monopolies
as the Western Union, except that
the labor does not extend even such a
privilege to the people. But Napo-
leon finds this very privilege Of cheap
telegraphy the deadliest weapon
against his soldiers bayonets, and the
Western Union seem to think it
equally deadly against their monopo-
". AS to the fostering of consolida-
ton by the purchase Of the wires for
the use of the Government, Mr.. Or
ton, as President of the Western I'm
ion Company, can certainly enter no
Just protest. he cannot seriously argue
it on the grounds Of monopoly

GOLD.


Gold Turks in every aim of life;
IL sways the lofty and the lowly,
And shrouds beneath its sable pail
Each aspiration high and holy;
For il we utter earnest prayers
And solemn vows are made n broken
And beauty barriers truth and hope,
And bitter, scathing words are spoken.
Gold canuot add one hour Of life,
Or buy loves hottest caresses;
It cannot stay the silver streak
Time blends with beauty's auburn t~resses5
II cannot bring the loved one back,
So rudely torn from our embraces;
It caunO smooth the wrinkied brow,
Scored deep with griefs relentless traces
Gold cannot bring youths ruddy glow
Back to the cheek of fading beauty;
1t cannot hush the still, small voice
That hints Of long neglected duty;
1t caunOJ heal a bFOke heart,
ThrObbing with some unbounded sorrow;
For words that wiring the soul to-day,
Gold cannot bring relief tomorrow.
Then let US SPUN the glittering bride,
Nor breathe for it one sigh OF sorrow:
Gold can at last but gid the bier,
Or buy the pail that want must borrow;
The lOwliest heart in all the land
Is rich, beyond all golden treasure,
II truth and virtue, hand in hand,
Have been through life its rule II measure

THE best-informed lawyers Of the
Radical party in Washington concede
that the Legislature Of Georgia had
no authority under the act Of Con-
gress which regulates the election Of
United States Senators to elect a SEN
ator for the term for which BlOdgett
was chosen. So he may be got rid of
in the Senate without discussing the
charge of perjury, which the Grand
Jury, on their Oaths, made against
him. They insist that next winter is
the time to fill the vacancy Blodgett
was elected to fill. The anti-Bullock
men of the State show that Bullock
was repeatedly recognized by the
Legislature which previously elected
Hill and Miller as Senators, and
they affirm the acts done prior to the
expulsion of the negroes, if no more,
to be valid. They also show that
Hill and Miller had n vote each,
clear majority, after excluding all dis
qualified members from the count.
This is a quarrel between two wings
of the Radicals. The people. of GeOr-
gia are mere %loOkers-on, and their
wishes or rights are not taken into
consideration.

The Greek Slave.

Mr.. Hiram Powers, in a letter from
Rome, to Mr.. Z. w. StOughton, thus
gives the origin Of his masterpiece,
the Greek Slave:
1t was several years after being in
this city, and while thinking about
some new work to be commenced,
that l remembered reading an ac-
count Of the atrocities committed by
the Turks on the Greeks, during the
Greek revOlutiOn-Which were finally
put an end to by the destruction of
the Turkish feet by Admiral Coding-
ton and the Russian naval command
er, whose name do not remember.
During the struggle the Turks took
many prisoners, male and female, and
among the latter were beautiful girls,
who were sold in the slave markets of
Turky aud Egypt. These We're
Christian women, and it is not difi-
cult to imagine the distress and even
despair Of the sufferers while
exposed to be sold to the highest bid
ders. But a. there should be a moral
in every work of art, l have given to
the expression of the Greek Slave
what trust there could still be in Il
Divine Providence for a future state of
existence, with utter despair for the
present, mingled with somewhat of
ScOrn for all around her. She is too
deeply concerned to be aware of her
nakedness. 1t is not her person but
her spirit that stands exposed, and she
bears it all as Christians only can.
Such was my aim in the statue, and
in a degree this has been recognized.
l am satisfied and happy to know that
something at least, however small, has
been added by my hands to the works
of art.

WENDELL PHILLIPS thinks agita-
ton on slavery should be continued
that the objects of the anti-slavery
movement are only partially accom-
plished. Though the negro can vote
and hold office, and hug idleness and
rags as he pleases, he cannot yet take
the upper seats at the dinner tables,
in the drawing-rOOms and at the
operas and theaters, and must still
take a back seat in the churches. Be
sides, his children do not occupy the
same seats in the schools, run their
fingers into the same dishes, and lie
in the same beds with white children.
Were not all men born free and equal?
This is not equality in Mr.. Phillips
view. The whites need more recon-
struction, and to be taught better
manners. In Alabama they are about
TO advance a step toward the i'm
provement of the white race by
electing Berry, a Mobile negro,
as Superintendent of Public In
struction. Nc more separate schools
for whites and blacks viii help amaz-
ingly, as they are about to provide in
Louisiana. The white children wilt then
learn not to toss their heads in token
of superiority. Now, white men who
think that good policy should go over
at once to the Phillips school. All
others, who are white inside as well
as out, should combine against further
agitation for social equality. The
northern ultTaists and progressives
will e~ternally hatchnew schemes; and
we know, by experience, that there is
nothing too absurd or too monstrous
to be either undertaken or accom-
plished by them.

They show the pride Of life:"
But Oft they waken evil thoughts

or with her pen, now lives from

and she one of the giddiest Floras of

1T is this: If you cut the back legs OF
