new line and lines now existing. The Gov
eminent makes a contract at fixed rates, rates
higher than are now charged. 1t would be at
least fair 60 ask proposals from the present
companies and accept the lowest bid. This
is not done, and, worse still, no attempt is
made to advance telegraphic science. The bill
merely provides for eguipping the line with
"good" instruments Why not the best
Telegraphy is a science still in its infancy,
and, if the Government really means to do
this work. it should open the door to some of
the new inventions that promise to increase
the value and expedition of this service.
The bill would purchase all lines now in
operation. Why not purchase one Of the
patents which promise great valueY Why
allow Mr. Hubbard to charge $500 and 5000
mile for wire, when the best wires in the coun-
try can be bought for $50 and $40 miller
Why, in rendering an account OF its expendi-
lures, simply gives it's construction account,
and no schedule of salaries and incidental
working expenses? What principle governs
newspaper charges? We have schedule of
rates based upon the tariffs of the Western
Union Company, with special rates to the
Associated Press. AS o member of the Asso-
ciated Press, we appreciate of course this
proposed dispensation, but at the same time
we do not ask for any special legislation for
our benefit We can do without 1T. The AS
sociated Press simply wants to be treated like
any other customer, and does not appreciate
being made lever to push along any scheme
like that of Mr.. Senator Ramsey.
Finally, and this embraces the whole ques-
tion, the principle Of Mr. Ramsey's bill is
radically wrong We have shown its mischief
in detail, even supposing that there existed q
necessity for the proposed legislation. Gene
raj Washburn's bill is bad enough, but the
General would take the English plan, which
is open and honorable, makes the whele SER
vice responsible to the people, and recognizes
vested rights so far as to pay telegraphic COM
panies for the money they have expended in
establishing their business. Senator Ramsey
on the contrary, crystallizes into monopoly
a business as great as our postal system. 1t
creates vested rights which, in the end, must
be purchased at large cost by the public
money. 1t permits Mr.. Hubbard to exact
greater tolls than other responsible compa-
MES would in time be willing to charge for
similar service. 1t commits the Government
directly to system which will be extrava-
giant, foolish, and ruinous. We cannot tole-
rate such scheme, especially at time
when we are doing all we can to pay old
debts without contracting new ones. The
bill is partial, unjust, and unnecessary, and
we hope to see it swept into the sepulchre of
dead legislation.

State, but for the purpose of carrying on oil
sorts of operations in other and remote looali-
ties Many of the petroleum companies, for
instance, operating in Pennsylvania, are i'm
corporal ed under our State law, as we'll as
most if not all Of the silver and gold mining
companies of Montana, Nevada, and even
California. The Mariposa Mining Company,
with its capital of $4,000, 900, is a corpora
ton of this kind, and so are many other con
Germs whose shares are daily bought and sold
in Wall street. .tn.H
II would be we'll for persons owning shares
in this class of companies, or who may be in
tending to buy them, to be reminded of
provision in the act under which they are
incorporated, imposing a serious personal
liability upon individual stockholders Sec
ton 18 of the act reads thus-r .. ...
'tThe stockholders OF any company organized
under the provisions Of this act shall be jointly
aud severaliy individually liable for all debts that
may be due and owing to all their laborers servants
and apprentices for services performed for such
poration."
The liability, it will be observed, is for
money due ito 'laborers, servants, and ap-
prentices." The words are sufficiently COM
prehensive to embrace every person en-
ployed by such corporations; and in the case
of mining and petroleum companies, which
require the services of a great number of
men, they take in nearly all the debts such
companies are likely to incur. Now, in gene
raj, 'laborers, servants, and apprentices"
will not work very long without getting their
pay, so that when the company's money gives
out its debt for wages does not increase
much. But cases may be readily imagined
in which the arrears of wages may accumu-
late; and when they do, they may become a
serious claim against any unlucky share
holder who may be singled out for the opera
ton of the law. He is individually liable,
and has no alternative but to pay, and trust
to legal process to make his fellow stock
holders reimburse him their shares. The
workmen may be induced by promises to
keep on for a considerable time, and when at
last they lose all confidence and quit the
company's employment, some speculator
may buy up their claims at low figure and
proceed to collect them as the law allows
| 1t might thus happen that the owner of single
share of stock would be- made to pay thon-
sands of dollars, and be practically remediless

CONGRESS AND THE ADMINISTRATION

my policy" came within a single vote of
the expulsion of Andy johnson from the
White House. Whether General Grant, re-
membering the misfortunes of johnson, has
or has not determined to avoid every danger
of a collision with Congress, his policy seems
to be the policy of awaiting the action or the
opinion of the two houses upon all the great
questions OF the day. Upon the Cuban ques-
tion, for example, we have been over and over
again assured that his sympathies are with the
islanders and their cause of independence,
and yet his Secretary of State, in his strangely
distorted notions of neutrality, has proved an
active and efficient ally of Spain. His zeal
and vigilance as a detective in the interest of
Spain have been very remarkable for an old
man, while his gracious ticket-of.leaye to
those thirty Spanish gunboats has shown that
he has none Of the patriotic weaknesses of a
young man. General Grant, we viii suppose,
has consented to all this because he thus
avoids the danger Of trenching upon the su-
preme authority Of Congress over such deli
cate questions as war, peace, neutrality, and
belligerent rights. This is the best defense

DE-. DARRIN. THE HEAL. Err.


Prompted by very natural, if not entirely in
excusable curiosity, we took occasion to call on
this gentleman at his rooms, at the Stevens
House, the other day. Thoroughly imbued with
the impressions left upon us by sundry travelling
aClairvoyants' and 'healing mediums" with
whom we have CHANGED to come in contact here
tofore. we were most thoroughly urprepared for
the agreeable surprise which awaited this
occasion. The Ir. is none of your cadaverous,
holow-eyed, mysteriously eccentric individuals,
who hawks and hens, and shakes himself, and
with sepulchral sounds and hogid eontortions,
apparently goes int fits over a patient, at the
same time giving minute description of his or
her case in bona fde Choctaw; neither does he in
any way remind one of the shining pates and
vinegar faces OF the "Old School, but he stands
before you as man relying solely upon the God
given powers which have been bestowed upon
him, investing himself with nothing of the mys-
FERROUS, and claiming nothing in his favor but
the simple truth, as enunciated in the wonderful
cures by which his efforts have been crowned. AS
a guarantee OF his curative powers We will men,
ito a few cases which have come under our i'm
mediate notice
Mr.. Bush, of Tyson Furnace was instan "
cured of larneness, which had rendered him una
BILE to walk without the aid of crutches for years.
The DR.. has them now. Denont Holene's son,
OF Chittenden, deafness three years-cured with
three trials. Mrs a. j Cam, of Poultney, fits
and ervous debility restored O. N Hammond,
near Brandon, catarrh and scrotula-cured. A.
D. Monroe, Pittsford, asthma and cough-curei.
A. K. Hooker, Rutland, infamed eyes, cured.
These are facts that cannot be gainsayed, and
are of themselves enough to Danish all doubts of
the Doctors wonderful powers. We not only in
vte but we most earnestly urge all of our friends
in affection from whatever cause, to call and see
the Doctor. Let the old come, for the Doctor is
respectful; let the young come, for the Doctor is
kind let all come, for he is equally patient with
and affable to all. We understand the Doctor
will remain at the Stevens House, Rutland, a few
weeks longer. 60 ye, and be healed
