A Corcrnmcnt Telegraph.

The proposition for the government 10
assume tho charge Of the telegraphiC
lines Of the whole country, Is now before
the Senate committee on post Offices and
post roads. Arguments for and against
the measure arc frequently heard by the
committee, butas yet no intimatiOns are
given what witlbe the character Of that
report The scheme is favored by many
members of Congress, and 1t Is urged by n
strong influence from without; but tho OBJ.
jectiOns to 1t are very serious, and we do
not believe 1t will be finally adopted even
though It should bc recommended by the
committee.
A corresponding measure llas just gone
into effect in Great Britain and ii by no
means gives satisfaction. The tclcgraphic
system there has been in tho hands Of the
government since February 9th, and the
working has been ever since the subject
Of incessnnt complaint. The newspapers
Of England. Scotland nnI ireland, are
filed with complaints from all cIeSseS OF
people who have occasion to use the tcle-
graph. There Is isirrCgularity, there Is de-
lay and there arc frequent mistakes, Add
cd to all this, n uniform rate Of charges
luls hccn established us in the post Offices
and tllis makes tho rates for dispatch
over large part OF the Kingdom, higher
than they were before. London journals

suffers from the change, and, according to
thc London editor otthG Now York 4F'.
bWne, "thC English telegraph system, here
ol0rc the best in Europe, now Is certainly
the worst" II is almost incredible that
10 great u change for tho worse should
have been brought about In so short u
time. The government officials are As lit

mistake and failure.
This brief experience in Great Britain

ing of tho tclegraphic communications of
the whole country, would bo absurd us
well us unwise. The government is not
fitted for such work. It does not slc-
ceed with the post office any too we'll the
telegraph would be wholly beyond its
powers. Tho public could not be any,
thing near so well served US it Is now, and
the government would gain nothing to
compensate for what the public would
lose. The only safe rule In such matters
is, for the government TO let them alone,
except in cases Of necessity. In u free
country, us u general fact, they arc tar
saler in private hands. ....r-
