LONDON has Just had q fresh illustration
of the wisdom of putting the tGlCgraphs
under government control. There was n
serious strike of telegraph operators at
Manchester, and full account OF Il was
sent over the wires 10 Tile DdRy NcDs of
London, in time for the next mornings
paper. The pOstoillCe authorities, how.
ever, chose to withhold tho dispatch, on
the plea that the cXigcnCy Of the public
service would not allow them TO aid in
circulating the intelligence which might
not be accurate in all its details. That is
the excuse ; the real reason, of course, was
that the government did not want the tel.
egraph clerks throughout the kingdom to
Join the strikers. We are curious TO know
what the EngliSh people have to say
about this extraordinary case OF pOstOillCe
espionage, for on such matters John Bull
Is sensitive. II Mr. Scudamorc can take
the responsibility of stopping kilograms
that he docs not like, and debating to
London newspapers what sort Of intClli.
gence they shall print, IS there any good
reason why Mr.. CrGswell should not be
assailed by equally terrible temptations il
the postal telegraph scheme should ever
