The government management of the tel.
egraphs in England now seems to be quite
satisfactory, and the revenue derived from
the telegraph service for the year ending
April, was over half a million pounds ster-
ling Messages are now sent all over England
at a uniform rate of one shilling for ten WORKS.
and the result of the reduction in price has
been an increase of the number Of messages
sent OF over ten millions annually One of
the features of the present management is the
renting of certain wires to newspapers during
the night at a fixed rate Of $500 YEAR
This has worked exceedingly well, and the
newspapers making such an arrangement fud
il greatly to their advantage

4 visit TO the white House.

A correspondent of the Worcester Spy
writes from Washington as follows
On Saturday evening, in the midst Of a
rain storm, we paid our respects to the Pres
iient and Mrs Grant. The interview having
been arranged by mutual friend aud devoid
Of State ceremony, it was particularly pleas
ant.
We were first shown into the Crimson Room
OF the White House, the elegance Of which,
by gas light, would be dazzling were there not
20 much surrounding splendor. The principal
object Of attraction, at present, is the picture
Of the President and his family, which occu.
pies the most conspicuous portion of this
room. We were summoned up stairs to the
private paror. This apartment vas the ideal
Of luxurious comfort, aud by the law of con-
iraSt furnished complete companion poem to

Having often heard that the President is
mot afflicted with the oacoethes loqne1,di, | was
prepared for his nearly silent reception. 1t
was satisfactory to sit in the presence cham

crate fire. while the rain fell gently beyond
ever, was soon recalled by most agreeable
tones in social phrase from the executive lips

is a myth" His manner was dignifed, but
certainly kind and agreeable. That habit

Mrs. Grant, my lady-readers may care to
know, appeared in heavy black silk without
noticeable ornament, save knot Of peach

example, SO different from that Of some Of he
predecessors, deserves well of history. The
radiance Of the cheerful apartment borrowe
lnsire from their agreeable hospitality.
Although il was somewhat late in the even
lug, the state rooms on the floor below wer
lighted for our inspection. The Green Room
the Blue Room, and the grand reception ROOF
were each equal to the standard of a republica
court. As we stood there before the portrait
Of all the presidents in that spacious apart
ment where 50 many receptions have tran
spired it seemed that we could almost hea
the rustic Of the garments OF the stately dame
back through the vanished years, and hea
the courtly words which they had addresse
to the central object of each occasion. TIL
was fitting sequel TO our visit, that day,
the old mansion and tomb at Mount Vernon.

the cause Of much rejoicing among those who
have maintained that the effect Of the election
would be felt in all the States Of the Union.
The magnificent victory was as great sur
prise to the Republicans as to their oppo.
nents inasmueh as the latter insisted upon
making contest on the question Of mixed
schools, aud by this issue drawing away many
Republican votes, Although the election of
Gen Chapman was regarded as certain, the

cast was 5,2S3, or more than 2200 les. than
