III the discussion growing out of the intention
On the Part of the Western linton Telegraph
COMPANY to raise the price for transmitting
signal service DISPATCHES for the government, it
has been developed that the present charge for
that duty allows profit OF thirty per cent on
the actually cost of performing it. This, how.
ever, l. not considered fat enough, and the man
ayers OF that corporation are straining every
nerve TO drill bigger hole III the public treasu-
~. AS the company charges for all private
business about three times the price now charged
the government for this particular service, the
public can calculate the extortionate profits
which u has TO pay for business or social dis
patches. IL is little less than theft.

Toruie C. Claflin lectured to &c an OVERLOOKING
house" in New York Saturday evening in de-
fence CT fres-lOve and denunciatien of the
tyranny OF marriage. Her lecture went to show
that marriage, as it ordinarily exists in society,
was a GelUsion OF an unenlishtened age, fraught
with the gravest evils, and that woman, free to
love, free 20 disown her welded husband, for
cause, and free to turn the tables upon man
y hen he went after strange women, was a mil
j'nnium in the worlds history which the lecturer
called upon divinity itself to witness that she
dedicated her life to assist In bringing about to
actual and living consummation. IL seems to
be thought sign Of the demorali zation of the
times that her utterances of this style were
cloudy applauded," and that ''she received
quite shower of floral offerings as she lett the
stage" but 1t is really not at all remarkable that
in big, bad city Of the size of New York an
audience large enough to fill Steinway Hall can
lie found of the fTee-love persuasion.

mon sense tells that il ia The only question to
be decided Is, what the inyigorant shall be. A

claims to the confidence Of the prudent invalid.

The republican ticket Is the same as last year
and all the candidates of the party are at present

The nine-hour movement in Great Britain
seems to be making greater hesdway than the
demand OF the working men in this country that
eight hours shall be a days labor. The coal
owners Of South Staiiordshire, England, have
granted the request Of the men for the nine
hour system, and by doing so have averted a
strike by 10000 miners and other workmen.
Employers in other 6rsnche. of industry have
given in to the system and it looks as if IL would
soon be universal there except in the agricul-
tIrai districts.

Mr. Greeley has made a semi-denial of having
written a letter upon the tariff question to A. j.
Wedderburn, OF Alexandria, of the character
stated; and he wrathfully demands that "if any
hereafter shall see tit to print his private letters,
they be printed reTbatim." But this is Just one
Of those things that nobody can do. Mr.. Wed.
derburn did his level best to translate Horace
''verbatum," and the published result was the
most probable version of the puzzling scrawl,
rendered by various experts of Alexandria and
washington. 1t is fair 10 Greeley to add that
thece were six or eight other constructions of al
most equal weight.
