EAST INDIA TELEGRAPHS.

COMMUNICATION WITH THE CHINESE COASTS.
The vast strides recently made in this and
other civilized countries toward perfecting an un-
broken system Of telegrapho communication from our
Pacific coast the extremity OF Asiatc Russia,
are bearing legitimate fruit in the various projects re-
Gently published for extending s advantages TO China
and Japan Nor in view Of the enormous foreign trade
conducted by countries Is this surprising Moth
ing but widespread ignorance of its extent and ram-
cations has delayed schemes which, although based on
sound data have been generally viewed rather as the
offspring OF il-informed enthusiasm than OF sober
appreciation OF facts. few figures derived from the
Independent estimates OF both American and British
merchants OF unimpeachable standing and approved by
the foreign press and customs departments OF those
countries will satisfy the increduous that remu
neratve field for telegraphc enterprise Is here open.
The foreign trade with China amounts, according To
these authorities TO the animal Of $500 0 inciud
ing 500 10000 The native trade between the
coast ports estimated at large proportion
OF this being conducted at, through, those ports at
which any cable laid down would necessarily touch.
The total yearly value Of the business which would be
affected by tegraphio communication Is therefore about
s9OOOOOOOO or. to follow the denomination In which the
computations were made, f0250o,0O sterling The
foreign trade with Japan amounts ~ some tDOo0O an
nuay quite exclusive OF the ntereostal trade In the
hands Of natives which is usually stated at some o
100000 more but regarding which reliable statistics
Il
conditions may fairly be presumed that the advent OF
telegraphic communication would result in a vast in
crease advantageous alike TO the native and foreign
merchant of both countries.
That various propositions should have been made TO
unite these large interests with the commercial centers
Of the West Is not therefore, TO be wondered at The
United States first In the field concession having,

"THEM MULEs."-We made a centre
shot, Tuesday morning, when we pub
lished the following paragraph, accord
ing to the Intelligencer's construction
of it:
As fine lot of mules as can be found
outside of the IntelHgenCer office, passed
over the suspension bridge from Ohio,
yesterday.
Now we put it to any logical mind if
the above language does not, in terms,
refer to mules outside of the IntelHgencer,
and not to anything in it. If we were
to say "the custom house is the largest
building in the city outside of the In
telHgencer Office" would the editors of
that paper insist that there was larger
building insidei If not, why should
they take offence at the above para
graph7 Do they mean to join issue
with us and insist that there are finer
mules inside than outside of that estab.
lishmenti But the manner in which
the editor-in-chief treats our little
chatting puts us in mind of big, lab
berly boy who has received blow from
play fellow. He, too, digs his knuck-
les into his eyes, while the pearly tears
rushing in torrents down his cheeks,
make stripes of black and white on his
face like a Sioux Indians war paint,
and he cries through his sobs, "Now,
don't you (sniffle) do that ERE again,
(sniffle). 1t hu-r-r-rts, an 1 don't like
it, you low BLACKBOARD
AS to the question of favors, we are
of opinion that the two Offices are about
even. If it were not so, the favor one
is reminded of is an obligation can
celled. What we have done, in this re-
gard, we have done, and would, under
the same circumstances, do again, and
are, we trust, too well bred to allude to
such matters afterwards.
As to what the Intelligencer chooses to
term Glow blackguardism towards it in
one department" of this paper, we have
only this to say: Our motto has ever
been "give and take" We have taken
some pretty rough hits from the Intel.
lgencr, and we didn't cry about it
either, though they touched "the raw"
several times. Some Of these we have
replied to, some we have not, but we
never in our life wrote anything as
mean and malicious as the article in
yesterdays Intellgencer. We are sorry
though we got the Intelligencer man
where his hair is short, stree he objects
to our statement that there are fine
mules outside of his establishment.
