A Tl,susand Dead Newspapers.

The rise and fall of newspapers is very 1T
tie appreciated, and in tilis country, where
{ Journals spring up like mushrooms and are
cut down like toatlstools. do tlae people,
least of all, understand the pecuniary peris
of publishing newspaper. Facts are, how
ever. more stubborn than reasoning, and we
quote from the american Nearspdper D;rec-
! tory to show how disastrous has been the ef
forts Of American ambition to Indulge in the
| vanity Of occupying the editorial chair and
rule the political destinies Of a chosen people.
In a number of the above namea Diaectorv
we find in a list of seventeen States and the
District o. Columbia, that no less than five
hundred newspapers which were insexistence

This is Il fearful mortality, not only of hope
but of capital, for, averaging the investment
IN each OF these papers, only as weeklies, at
$1,000, which is a low estimate, we arrive at
an absorption of over ore million and half
OF dollars. When we consider, as before ex-
planned, that this is a statement embracing
losses in seventeen States only, and that we
may fairly put six or seven hundred moretpa-
pers down to the debtor side of profit and
loss, for the remaining States and Terrific
lies, and then the losses will make an aggre-
gate exhibit of at least two and quarter
millions, lost to individuals, which, if put
into crops, would have multiplied itself at
least fifty fold, in ten years. But Democratic
as free American citizens are in politics, they
must be aristocratic in their selection of fu-
ture. We must be LAWYERS, Or doctors, or ed
itors, and the result is that. thousands who
every year choose between law, physic and
Bohemia. are utterly unfit for either. and go

No Government Telegraph.

One Of the numerous arguments Against
the Government assuming the MOI opoly and
control of the telegraph in this country-viz:
that censorship for partizan purposes would
be one of the res ults-has ust received con-
firmaton in the experience of the English
people, where the system is in force. 1t has
been found that in numerous instances con
nected with the recent strike of the opera
tors, the Government officials took the un-
warrantable liberty Of Withholding, delaying.
and even garbling messages that We're sent
to the press by regular correspondents. One
Of the papers says: There can be no. doubt
that some of these messages, instead of being
forwarded to their destinations, were first Of
all sent ON to London, for inspection and ap-
roval. We have evidence before us to show
that in some cases portions Of these mes
sages were withheld, and in others they were
doctored to suit the views of the case enter
tanned at the Post Office.'' =ass5s a. &ss Sc
This interference with confidential mes
sages has justly awakened great indignation
i'm England and it is liable to occur at any
tim o, the temptation is so strong and imme-
Qiage. III the case Oh tIle# TOsL CuIce Inc Sc
crecy of correspondents can be violated only
by breaking seals but in the case of the tel
egraph, every message must be read both
when it is sent and where it is received, and
If it be obnoxious to the sentiments of some
Government Official, he is strongly tempted
to withhold or delay it, The danger would
be greater in this. country than il England.
In the hands of politicians, in which 1t would
be placed, the telegraph would inevitably be-
some the instrument Of gross wrongs.
In the name of the people, I'VE protest
against such an engine being placed iii the
hands of any political party. let the tele-.
graph be where it is, directly amenable to
those who patronize it, We do not want an
army of tens of thousands of Government
spies and ccnsors over the thoughts or the
nation, spread over the whole country. Let
the Government improve the administration
of the Post Office Department, in which there
is wide field for improvement. and leave
