TIE American Register shows how little ex-
euse there is for failure on the part of Ameri-
can bankers abroad, whose chief business is re-
ceiving deposits of travellers. 1t says:
Gan American banker in Paris has no right
to fail. His business lies for the most part
with persons of ample means, who do not re-
qnire him to give them credit, and in return for
the facilities he furnishes his customers he is
handsomely remunerated. An American bank
er in Paris, having a reliable and honest cor
respondent in the United States, can transact a
large business on a very small capital The
possession of a large capital is only necessary
as guarantee that the funds, shares, bonds
ETC., conf led to the banker, should not be con-
in whom unthinking Chants place confidence.

A BRIEF examination of the bill which
Senator Ramsey reported in the Senate the
other day, will lead TO the conclusion that
it is not so much Of postal telegraph bill as
a proposition to authorize a company to take
and run for their benefit all the telegraph
lines in the country; or to speak more to the
point, is no postal telegraph bill at ALL out a
scheme to give the control and profits of the
telegraph to company under the guarantee
of the COVE nment. The only provision that
renders it essentially different from the exist
ing system is the provision that "t-n Post
master General is authorized to contract with
the Postal Telegraph Company for the trans
mission of correspondence by telegraph; as
his agent, aud the said company, shall have
the right to construct lines on all post routes
and provide lines of telegraph to every postal
telegraph office" This Is not the measure
that the President recommended, and is not
the one that the country demands.

Our LumD er Interests.

We understand that the Grand Trunk
Railway managers have advanced the tariff
on lumber brought over their line to such Al
extent that, IF it be maintained, it viii prove
an absolute prohibition on the business in
that direction. The effect of this increase on
the business OF Portland will be very injuri-
Gus and no effort should be spared to effect
change to the old rates. The extent of the
injury viii be the more appreciated when wis
consider the volume of the lumber business
now having its head quarters in this city, be-
ing second only to that of Bangor and bidding
fair to outstrip even that place. At least
four-fiiths of this business comes over the
Grand Trunk.
Not only the lumber dealers are sufferers by
this prohibtory tariff, .but nearly every branch
of business viii feel its effects, as large guam
titles OF supplies of all kinds are sent from
this city to the lumber districts, and large
numbers Of vessels are attracted to this port
to carry the lumber to market. The lumber
dealers propose to take action in the matter
and represent the case to the railway mana
gers, and it behooves all citizens to do every
thing in their power to avert the calamity OF
q continuance of these oppressive charges.
