World Telegraphing.

A nice little debate is going on just
now over the right of Louis Napo-
leon, or any other monarch. to exer-
else official espionage over the inter
national telegraph. The American
government should, and doubtless
will take the ground that the French
ruler can have no privilege Of that
sort.over the French and American
line which we do not claim or exer-
else for ourselves. The commerce OF
the world has rights and interests
which the jealousy of European
despot must not be allowed to COM
promise. The servillance OF French
police over private dispatches is an
annoyance, and quite opposed to the
spirit of personal liberty which the
French people talk SO much about.
Let the lines be protected by Interna-
tional arrangement, but let no one
nation have monopoly. Let pri.
vate dispatches be considered mat
ters of individual right to be held
sacred by oil Governments. .r.r.. T..

A correspondent writes from AL
bany, to the New York Tribune,
that the result of the Iowa Senatorial
Elections, are welcomed there by
political friends generally, and es-
Ipecially, by some who are most fa-
miliar with Judge Wright. From
every part OF the country do we hear
Vhe same news. The fact Is, no
man could have been selected In, the
State, to fill the place of Mr.. Grimes,
that would have given such wide
spread satisfaction, as does Geo. G..
Wright. The Democratic party and
organs, too, have failed to trump up
anything derogatory to his public or
private character, and there seems
to be settled conviction In the
minds of even his political opposers,
that the right man has been selected.
We feel assured that Judge Wright,
will never give his many admirers,
and supporters, cause to regret his
elevation. lowe. I'm tho United
States Senate, will have as much in.
fiuence now, as any of the older
States. The late ISLANDERS upon

people of loyal Iowa, and increase

hesitate not to brand oil such sheets
as the New York Ledger, and near.
ly all the magazines, as one OF the
prolific sources of these oft.repcatcd
horrors. The sickening, disgusting
details, of one of these fiction stories,
which originate In love-struck brains
are enough to poison fully fifty per

for the most outrageous crimes
known in law. The Federal Com

Local and Political.

DoRas.--We are not opposed to
dorgs "abstractly" nor "concretely."
We believe in dorgs-that they have
rights which are duly respected by
some people--that they should be
protected, especially from sheep
that dorg Is built for biting pur-
poses, that It is constitutional with
him-that he loves it--that he Is
made to bork and stick to it--that he
has an undoubted right to get mad
and stay mad-that he has reason for
just such conduct--that Ii a sheep
pounces onto him it is his duty to de-
fend himself to the best OF his
knowledge aud ability that he Is
justifiable In his foraging ard bum
ming proolivities--that dorgs of the
poodle, or the Newfoundland persua-
sion should be permitted, when trav-
elling on our Rail Road, to sit in the
lap of its mistress--and when we
see a lady discriminate against size,
we feel assured that she is behind the
age-we also will say that in order to
be eligible for Congress, a man ought
to keep several of these useful crea-
tures--in fact, man to be q good
road supervisor, needs between seven
and eight of them-not lean and half
starved, but Jat and tsouriShing. But
after all our high regards for these
beautiful and useful animals we are
i'm favor of the Legislature "regula-
ting" them. Dorgs should be crea-
lures of circumstances. For in
stance, to illustrate "as it were,n
no dorg should be allowed to follow
a team that is going along the high
way Tess than one faH mile from his
residence. Again he should not he
allowed to bite the horse on his for
ward legs, and at the same time try
to pull the buffalo robe out at the
hind end of the sleigh. We would
recommend that he be confined
strictly, In his murdsrous attack up-
ON the men, women. and children,
In the sleigh, instead Of the poor
horses. We might make additional
suggestions but for want of space we
leave this prolific subject TIL another
