The Cable Telegraph War.

Communication and accompanying documents
from Mr.. Roberts, President of the Florida Tel
esraph Company, in response to the letter of
the International Ocean Telegraph Company
which we printed yesterday. In this contro-
versy, which promises to assume formidable
proportions before 1t is brought to a close we
have no need TO take part. Each side is cana
bic OF presenting its own case in its own way
and IN the best light possible, and our readers
are perfectly competent to understand what is
lnteihgently placed before them, and to form
their own conclusions in regard to it,
III seems proper to say, however, that there is
uouOuess much more at issue than appears on
the surface; and in view of the very pointed
statements and propositions of General Smith
and Of the public interests at stake we do not
see now congress can well avoid a thorough
investigation OF the whole matter. Notwith
STANDING nrst impressions, we think it will be
quite appaernt to the careful reader of

lying under or back OF the present controversy

facilities between America and the eastern hem
isPhere, under both the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans, ana that the parties really and finally
interested In the result are the corporations
now controlling telegraphic communication be-
tween the two continents and the companv rem
resented by General Smith. In the light of this
view the fact should not be overlooked that the
latter speaks through its proper officer while
the former seek another and widely different
