A memorial has been received by the
Senate of the United States from the National
Typographical Union asking for the adoption of
the Postal Telegraph bill, on the ground that the
Associated Press has made decree against the
establishment Of new newspapers thereby les.
SEEMING the demand for printers labor The
Union has been egregiously imposed upon by
somebody in relation to this matter. The Asso,
eiated Press attempts no such foolish thing as to
prevent the establishment OF more newspapers ;
and If il did, the passage of the Postal Telegraph
bill would not mend the matter The present
telegraph lines are as much open to every one as
any Government lines could possibly be; and
the Associated Press would be just as much Of
monopoly with the one as it is with the other
that is to say, no monopoly at all.

The Paris correspondent OF the Lteda,
Herdtd gives the following account Of LOUIS Ma
PoLEoS's address on the recent opening OF the
Cbam5trs. Ills voice was clean distinct, but
not at all pleasing. II smaekcd of the accent of
Holland, was monotonous, stopped ill the ap-
plAuse was over, and resumed IN the same KEY,
like Judge charging jury. Not a sign of an
emotion was visible. The speakers eyes seemed
" look at nothing, but there was not movement
in the vast hall which they did not take iu." The
Dutch accent Of LOUIS NAPOLEON is an additional
evidence Of the fact that his fathers name was
not BoSAPARrr His whole physiognomy is also
rather that of plodding Dutchman than Of an
impulsive CorSican. His mother was Of Creole
descent. This mixture Of the tropical with the
Rip Van Wrinkle element accounts TO some ex-
tent for the peculiar characteristics of this great
criminal of the period.
